TRANSLATION
Maharaja Barhigat executed many sacrifices all over the world. He
scattered kusa grasses and kept the tops of the grasses pointed eastward.
PURPORT
As stated in the previous verse (kriyd-kandesu nisnatah), Maharaja
Barhisat dived very deeply into the fruitive activities of sacrifice. This
means that as soon as he finished one yajfa in one place, he began
performing another yajna in the immediate vicinity. At the present moment
there is a similar need to perform sankirtana-yajia all over the world. The
Krsna consciousness movement has started performing sankirtana-yajna
in different places, and it has been experienced that wherever sankirtana-
yajnia is performed, many thousands of people gather and take part in
it. Imperceptible auspiciousness achieved in this connection should be con-
tinued all over the world. The members of the Krsna consciousness move-
ment should perform sankirtana-yajnia one after another, so much so that
all the people of the world will either jokingly or seriously chant
Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama,
Rama Rama, Hare Hare, and thus they will derive the benefit of cleansing
the heart. The holy name of the Lord (Harer ndma) is so powerful that
whether it is chanted jokingly or seriously the effect of vibrating this
transcendental sound will be equally distributed. It is not possible at the
present moment to perform repeated yajias as Maharaja Barhisat per-
formed, but it is within our means to perform savikirtana-yajna, which does
not cost anything. One can sit down anywhere and chant Hare Krsna, Hare
Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare
Hare. If the surface of the globe is overflooded with the chanting of the
Hare Krsna mantra, the people of the world will be very, very happy.
