Text 2] Prahāda Instructs His Demoniac Schoolmates

it teaches mothers to kill their children even in the womb, on the plea of curbing the increase of population. And if by chance a child is saved, he is educated only for sense gratification. Gradually, throughout the entire world, human society is losing interest in the perfection of life. Indeed, men are living like cats and dogs, spoiling the duration of their human lives by actually preparing to transmigrate again to the degraded species among the 8,400,000 forms of life. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is anxious to serve human society by teaching people to perform devotional service, which can save a human being from being degraded again to animal life. As already stated by Prahāda Mahārāja,  bhāgavata-dharma  consists of  śravaṇam kīrtanam viṣṇoḥ smaraṇam pāda-sevanam/ arcanam vandanam dāsyam sakhyam ātma-nivedanam . In all the schools, colleges and universities, and at home, all children and youths should be taught to hear about the Supreme Personality of God-head. In other words, they should be taught to hear the instructions of  Bhagavad-gītā , to put them into practice in their lives, and thus to become strong in devotional service, free from fear of being degraded to animal life. Following  bhāgavata-dharma  has been made extremely easy in this age of Kali. The  śāstra  says:
harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā
One need only chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mahā-mantra . Everyone engaged in the practice of chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mahā-mantra  will be completely cleansed, from the core of his heart, and be saved from the cycle of birth and death.
