The lord's Attempt to Go to Vrodāvana

harer nāma harer nāma   harer nāmaiva kevalam   kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva   nāsty eva gatir anyathā  ( Brhan-nāradīva Purāna , 38.126)
A person born in a  brāhmaṇa  family cannot perform Vedic sacrifices until he is properly purified and has attained his sacred thread. However, according to this verse, it is understood that even a lowborn person can immediately perform sacrifices if he sincerely chants and hears the holy name of the Lord. Sometimes envious people ask how Europeans and Americans in this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement can become  brāhmaṇas  and perform sacrifices. They do not know that the Europeans and Americans have already been purified by chanting the holy name of the Lord—Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. This is the proof.  Śvādo ‘pi sadyaḥ savanāya kalpate . One may be born in a family of dog-eaters, but he can perform sacrifices simply by chanting the  mahā-mantra .
Those who find fault in the Western Vaiṣṇavas should consider this statement from  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  and the commentary on this verse by Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī. In this regard, Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī has stated that to become a  brāhmaṇa , one has to wait for purification and undergo the sacred thread ceremony, but a chanter of the holy name does not have to wait for the sacred thread ceremony. We do not allow devotees to perform sacrifices until they are properly initiated in the sacred thread ceremony. Yet according to this verse, an offenseless chanter of the holy name is already fit to perform a fire ceremony, even though he is not doubly initiated by the sacred thread ceremony. This is the verdict given by Lord Kapiladeva in His instructions to His mother, Devahūti. It was Lord Kapiladeva who instructed Devahūti in pure Sāṅkhya philosophy.
