Morning Walk in Mayapur, April 1975

The story of Lomarsa Muni

0:01Prabhupāda: "...think that I am going to die very soon." You know that Romaharṣaṇa?

0:07Satsvarūpa: Romaharṣaṇa?

0:08Prabhupāda: Eh? Romaharṣaṇa?

0:11Satsvarūpa: Who Balarāma killed?

0:12Prabhupāda: No, another. Lomarṣa, Lomarṣa Muni. He would die when all the hairs on the body will fall down.

Lifespan measured by Brahma years

0:30And each hair will fall down after the death of one Brahmā.

Detachment from temporary material shelter

0:33So he was chanting on the sea, and Nārada Muni was passing = "Why don't you make a cottage?" "How long I shall live? What is the use of cottage?" He's also thinking, "I'll die."

Maharaja Khatvanga and immediate surrender

0:49Satsvarūpa: There's also the story of that Mahārāja Khāṭvaṅga, who found out that he only had a minute to live. What did he do, that he...? You say that he surrendered at once.

0:59Prabhupāda: He surrendered to Kṛṣṇa. That's all. Hmm. [aside:] You can come this... Go this way.

Satisfaction through increased devotional service

1:43[temple kīrtana in background]

1:43Devotee: Prabhupāda, if we..., if we increase our devotional activities, then we automatically become satisfied, and then detached from material life.

1:50Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. [kīrtana] [end]
