Text 2] Prahlada Instructs His Demoniac Schoolmates 3

it teaches mothers to kill their children even in the womb, on the plea of
curbing the increase of population. And if by chance a child is saved, he
is educated only for sense gratification. Gradually, throughout the entire
world, human society is losing interest in the perfection of life. Indeed,
men are living like cats and dogs, spoiling the duration of their human
lives by actually preparing to transmigrate again to the degraded species
among the 8,400,000 forms of life. The Krsna consciousness movement
is anxious to serve human society by teaching people to perform devo-
tional service, which can save a human being from being degraded again
to animal life. As already stated by Prahlada Maharaja, bhagavata-
dharma consists of sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam pdda-
sevanam/ arcana vandanam dasyarh sakhyam adtma-nivedanam. In all
the schools, colleges and universities, and at home, all children and
youths should be taught to hear about the Supreme Personality of God-
head. In other words, they should be taught to hear the instructions of
Bhagavad-gitd, to put them into practice in their lives, and thus to be-
come strong in devotional service, free from fear of being degraded to
animal life. Following bhagavata-dharma has been made extremely easy
in this age of Kali. The sdstra says:

harer nama harer nama
harer namaiva kevalam

kalau nasty eva nasty eva
nasty eva gatir anyatha

One need only chant the Hare Krsna mahd-mantra. Everyone engaged in
the practice of chanting the Hare Krsna mahd-mantra will be completely

cleansed, from the core of his heart, and be saved from the cycle of birth
and death.
