The Forest of Enjoyment

buzzards, vultures, herons and crows. Vedic scriptures do not refer to them. Imminent death is like the attack of a lion, and neither vultures, buzzards, crows nor herons can save one from such an attack. One who takes shelter of unauthorized man-made gods cannot be saved from the clutches of death.
PURPORT
It is stated:  harim vinā mṛtim na taranti . No one can save himself from the cruel hands of death without being favored by Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In  Bhagavad-gītā  it is stated,  mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etām taranti te : whoever fully surrenders unto Kṛṣṇa can be saved from the cruel hands of material nature. The conditioned soul, however, sometimes wants to take shelter of a demigod, man-made god, pseudo incarnation or bogus  svāmī  or  yogī . All these cheaters claim to follow religious principles, and all this has become very popular in this age of Kali. There are many  pāṣaṇḍīs  who, without referring to the  śāstras , pose themselves as incarnations, and foolish people follow them. Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, has left behind Him  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  and  Bhagavad-gītā . Not referring to these authorized scriptures, rascals take shelter of man-made scriptures and try to compete with Lord Kṛṣṇa. That is the greatest difficulty one encounters when trying to promote spiritual consciousness in human society. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is trying its best to bring people back to Kṛṣṇa consciousness in its pure form, but the  pāṣaṇḍīs  and atheists, who are cheaters, are so numerous that sometimes we become perplexed and wonder how to push this movement forward. In any case, we cannot accept the unauthorized ways of so-called incarnations, gods, cheaters and bluffers, who are described here as crows, vultures, buzzards and herons.
