1532 Srimad-Bhagavatam [ Canto 4, Ch. 30

naham tisthami vaikunthe
yoginam hrdayesu va

tatra tisthami nadrada
yatra gayanti mad-bhaktah

““My dear Narada, actually I do not reside in My abode, Vaikuntha, nor do
I reside within the hearts of yogis, but I reside in that place where Mv
pure devotees chant My holy name and discuss My form, pastimes and
qualities.” Because of the presence of the Lord in the form of the tran-
scendental vibration, the Vaikuntha atmosphere is evoked. This atmosphere
is without fear and anxiety. One living entity does not fear another. By
hearing the holy names and glories of the Lord, a person executes pious ac-
tivities. Srnvatam sva-kathah krsnah punya-sravana-kirtanah (Bhag. 1.2.17).
Thus his material hankerings immediately stop. This saikirtana movement
started by the Society for Krishna Consciousness is meant for creating
Vaikuntha, the transcendental world that is without anxiety, even in this
material world. The method is the propagation of the Sravanam kirtanam
process throughout the world. In the material world everyone is envious
of his fellow man. Animalistic envy exists in human society as long as
there is no performance of sankirtana-yajia, the chanting of the holy
names—Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare
Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. The Pracetas therefore decided to remain
always in the society of devotees, and they considered that to be the
highest benediction possible in human life.
