the meaning of Krsna consciousness. We are therefore presenting
Bhagavad-gita as it is and kicking out all kinds of mental concoction.
Fools and rascals interpret Bhagavad-gitd in their own way. When Krsna
says, man-manad bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru—
“Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your
« homage unto Me”’—they comment that it is not Krsna to whom we must
surrender. Thus they derive imaginary meanings from Bhagavad-gita.
The Krsna consciousness movement, however, strictly follows
bhagavata-dharma, the instructions of Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-
Bhagavatam for the complete welfare of human society. One who misin-
terprets Bhagavad-gitd, twisting out some meaning for his sense gra-
tification, is a non-Aryan. Therefore commentaries on Bhagavad-gita by
such persons should be immediately rejected. One should try to follow
Bhagavad-gita as it is. In Bhagavad-gita (12.6-7) Lord Sri Krsna says:
ye tu sarvani karmani
mayi sannyasya mat-parah
ananyenaiva yogena
mam dhyayanta updsate
tesam aham samuddharta
mrtyu-samsara-sagarat
bhavami na cirdat partha
mayy dvesita-cetasim
“For one who worships Me, giving up all his activities unto Me and being
devoted to Me without deviation, engaged in devotional service and al-
ways meditating upon Me, who has fixed his mind upon Me, O son of
Prtha, for him I am the swift deliverer from the ocean of birth and
death.”
