Text 33] Ripa Gosvami’s Meeting with the Lord 17

dra dina keha tara dekhd nd paila

siddha-deha pafia kukkura vaikunthete geld

SYNONYMS

ara dina—the next day; keha—all of them; tara—of the dog; dekha na paila—
did not get sight; siddha-deha pafida—obtaining a spiritual body; kukkura—the
dog; vaikunthete gelé—went to the spiritual kingdom, Vaikuntha.

TRANSLATION

The next day, no one saw that dog, for it had obtained its spiritual body and
departed for Vaikuntha, the spiritual kingdom.

PURPORT

This is the result of sddhu-sanga, consequent association with Sr Caitanya
Mahaprabhu and promotion back home, back to Godhead. This result is possible
even for a dog, by the mercy of the Vaisnava. Therefore, everyone in the human
form of life should be induced to associate with devotees. By rendering a little ser-
vice, even by eating prasdda, not to speak of chanting and dancing, everyone
could be promoted to Vaikunthaloka. It is therefore requested that all our devo-
tees in the ISKCON community become pure Vaisnavas, so that by their mercy all
the people of the world will be transferred to Vaikunthaloka, even without their
knowledge. Everyone should be given a chance to take prasdda and thus be in-
duced to chant the holy names Hare Krsna and also dance in ecstasy. By these
three processes, although performed without knowledge or education, even an
animal went back to Godhead.
