careful to execute occupational service with faith in God in the proper
way, and that will lead one gradually on the progressive march back to
Godhead.

Lord Sri Krsna, when He was personally present at Vrajadhama, stopped
the worship of the demigod Indra and advised the residents of Vraja to
worship by their business and to have faith in God. Worshiping the multi-
demigods for material gain is practically a perversity of religion. This sort
of religious activity has been condemned in the very beginning of the
Bhagavatam as kaitava-dharma. There is only one religion in the world to
be followed by one and all, and that is the Bhagavata-dharma, or the
religion which teaches one to worship the Supreme Personality of God-
head and no one else.
