TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - We know the narration of an elephant named Shri Gajendraji and a crocodile by the name of Shri Gajendra Moksha. While Shri Gajendraji was playing in the water, a crocodile caught him then the elephant applied his full power but he was unable to escape. Even his fellow elephants and female elephants left him alone.
He was able to see his death and remembered that those who go in the shelter of GOD, GOD saves them. GOD is the provider of shelter to everyone, therefore, Shri Gajendraji took the shelter of GOD.
We should also take the shelter of GOD in times of calamity or without calamity as GOD is the only provider of shelter in this world.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should always remain in the shelter of Almighty GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Gajendraji said the above words in praise of GOD.
GOD is there in all creatures in witness form. GOD is also there in the power form of all creatures. GOD is the root cause of all but GOD has no cause. As the ocean is the shelter of all the rivers and waterfalls, similarly, the ultimate signification of all the Shri Vedji and Scriptures is only GOD. All the Shri Vedji and Scriptures praise and laud GOD. GOD is Moksha Swaroop i.e. GOD is the one who provides salvation. All saints and devotees only take the shelter of GOD.
Therefore, a creature should also take the shelter of GOD. There is no other way to cross this worldly ocean other than taking shelter of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- To cross the worldly ocean, all saints and devotees remain in the shelter of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - When Shri Gajendraji was caught by a crocodile then he was not able to free himself even after applying his full force, therefore, he praised and called GOD and took the shelter of GOD.
Like a merciful man frees an animal that is in bondage, similarly, the ultimate merciful GOD cuts all the bondages of those who seek His shelter. GOD is most compassionate and never delays in doing welfare of His devotees. GOD takes the entire responsibility of the creature who takes His shelter and works for the benefit of the creature.
The best solution is to remain in the shelter of GOD and therefore we must take the shelter of GOD without any delay.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD takes the entire responsibility of the creature who remains in the shelter of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Gajendraji said the above words in praise of GOD.
GOD’s exclusive loving devotees always stay in the shelter of GOD. Such devotees never expect anything from GOD. Even such devotees never aspire salvation. They are immersed in the ocean of ecstasy by singing the divine and blissful Holy pastimes of GOD. A true devotee is selfless. The place of selfless devotion is so high that even salvation becomes insignificant in front of it. A true devotee finds so much joy in singing the Holy pastimes of GOD, in front of which all pleasures of this world fade away.
Therefore, a creature should undertake the devotion of GOD selflessly.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- A true devotee gets immense pleasure in singing and listening to the narration and Holy pastimes of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Gajendraji said the above words in praise of GOD.
Those whose senses are not in control, such creatures cannot attain GOD. We live in this world and our senses are trapped in this world. Whatever visuals are shown to us by illusion, our senses are attracted towards them. Therefore our senses are engaged in this world. Until we will remove them from worldly activities and engage them in GOD through devotion it is not possible to attain GOD. When we will draw our senses from worldly activities and put them in GOD then only our human life will become successful.
GOD’s power is infinite. GOD is almighty and is capable of doing everything. GOD loves those creatures who surrender to Him means He loves and accepts those creatures who take His shelter.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- To make our human life successful we must engage all our senses in GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - When Shri Gajendraji called GOD then GOD came with great speed. Saints describe this context and say that Shri Gajendraji called GOD by the name “HARI”. On pronouncing the word “HA” GOD ran and before the pronunciation of the word “RI” GOD ended that crocodile with the help of Shri Sudarshan Chakra (Divine weapon of GOD) and freed Shri Gajendraji.
After being killed by the Holy hands of GOD that crocodile became curse-free. Previously he was a Gandharva and because of the curse became a crocodile. Now because of GOD’s grace, he was free. He started singing the glory of GOD.
In fact, GOD is the only one who is full of best of fame. Therefore, the divine qualities and pleasing Holy pastimes of GOD are worthy of being praised. Devotees sing the divine qualities and pleasing Holy pastimes and attain ecstasy.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Devotees only sing the divine glory of GOD and experience divine ecstasy.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji while narrating the former character of Shri Gajendraji to King Shri Parikshitji says that in previous birth Shri Gajendraji was a king of Dravid country. He was a great worshiper of GOD and he worshiped GOD by abandoning his kingdom and dressed as an ascetic. Due to the curse of Saint Shri Agastyaji, he got the next birth in elephant species.
But the effect of worship done by him in his previous birth was so much that even though he was an elephant but he still remembered GOD and in his end time in distress, he performed the divine praise of GOD.
Worship of GOD done in any birth never goes in vain and definitely helps us in time of need.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The worship of GOD done previously helps us in our hour of distress.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD has elaborated the importance of Shri Gajendra Moksha (salvation) prayer. Whenever there is distress in life, whoever recites the Shri Gajendra Moksha prayer with devotion and with full emotions, his distress is solved. After being pleased by the prayer performed by Shri Gajendraji, the all-pervading GOD said in front of everyone that whoever will pray to GOD with this Shri Gajendra Moksha prayer, GOD will gift a pure intellect to that creature at the time of his death.
At the time of death the intelligence is not pure so it wanders elsewhere. At the time of death if our intelligence is fixed in GOD then we can attain GOD.
Therefore, in the lifetime it is very beneficial to recite Shri Gajendra Moksha prayer because it protects us from all the distress during the lifetime and at the time of death our intellect is purified which helps us to remember GOD during death time.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must remember GOD during our lifetime and also in the last stage.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji said the above words to King Shri Parikshitji.
Only the one who has counted all the atoms of this world can describe the entire virtues of GOD. This means that it is not possible for anyone to count the atoms of this world because they are countless. Similarly, it is also not possible for anyone to count the virtues of GOD because even Shri Vedji cannot describe the virtues of GOD and becomes calm by saying “neti-neti” (a Sanskrit expression which means "infinite"). It is not possible for Scriptures, Deities, sages or saints to describe the virtues of GOD.
Therefore, a creature must sing and chant the divine qualities of GOD regularly in his life. This is an excellent means of devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- It is not possible for anyone to describe the infinite divine qualities of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - King Shri Parikshitji said the above words to GOD Shri Shukdevji.
When King Shri Parikshitji got the curse of death after seven days then for his salvation GOD Shri Shukdevji came to describe the narration of Shrimad Bhagawatji. As GOD Shri Shukdevji began to describe the glory of devotee lover GOD, the heart of King Shri Parikshitji became more and more eager to listen to the glory of GOD. These are the signs of a true devotee that he is never satisfied by listening to the glory of GOD and he continuously wants to listen to the praise of GOD. There is a question in the introduction of Shrimad Bhagawatji that how long we should listen to the Holy pastimes of GOD and in response it has been said that we should listen to it lifelong.
Because the Holy pastimes of GOD provide us with so much ecstasy, therefore, we must continuously listen to the narration of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- True devotees are never satisfied from listening to the narrations of GOD and they continuously listen to the Holy pastimes of GOD.

Whatever we do or whatever we think, GOD knows everything. GOD even knows about our conscience. The second thing that is stated in verse is that thoughtful humans worship GOD by the mean of devotion. The path of devotion is the only and best way to reach GOD, therefore, the thoughtful creatures take the shelter of devotion.

In this verse, GOD Shri Brahmaji has rendered an eternal principle. No creature can attain GOD by his own manhood, GOD is only attainable by GOD’s own grace. Whatever means we adopt but we cannot attain GOD by those means unless GOD blesses us. To attain GOD, GOD’s grace is compulsory. GOD is so graceful that if a creature steps forward towards GOD for attaining Him, GOD definitely bestows His grace on him.
When a creature tries to attain GOD by undertaking devotion, GOD definitely graces that creature due to which that creature attains GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Only due to the grace of GOD, we can attain GOD.

GOD takes incarnations in various forms from time to time by His own wish and need and those works which are very difficult, performs them effortlessly. Because GOD is almighty therefore He does not face any difficulty in performing even difficult works. Whenever there is the loss of religion and Trilok (Three worlds) winning demons come in power then GOD takes an incarnation and easily destroys them and restores the religion.
GOD is almighty and is all-capable of doing everything, therefore, there is nothing that is difficult for GOD and He performs every task very effortlessly.

Those deeds which we do not dedicate to GOD there is a lot of suffering and pain in their execution and their result is also very less. But those deeds which are dedicated to GOD, while performing them we also get happiness and those deeds never fail. GOD is the supreme benefactor and most beloved of a creature, therefore, we should dedicate every deed to GOD so that our ultimate benefit becomes certain. It is an eternal principle that even the smallest deed dedicated to GOD never fails.
Therefore, a creature should dedicate his each and every deed to GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - When the churning of the ocean started then everywhere only the powers of GOD were working. GOD has pressed Mandrachal mountain from the top and in the bottom has given the base to Mandrachal mountain by taking Shree Kachchhap (Tortoise) incarnation. GOD entered in the demons to increase their powers. Similarly, GOD entered in the Deities in order to increase their power. A snake named Vasuki was used as a rope and GOD entered in him in the form of sleep so that he remains in sleep and does not suffer from churning.
This parable states that each and every work is being operated by GOD by His powers. Whoever becomes the medium but the power which executes the work is of GOD only.
Therefore, we should never boast of our deeds and strengths because the power of GOD is in our every deed and strength.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The power to execute all the work everywhere is provided by GOD.

During the churning of the ocean at first a fiery poison named Halahal came out and the demons and Deities became greatly distraught. That fiery poison started spreading everywhere, up and down in all directions and because of that, all aquatic and terrestrial creatures became greatly distraught. Then everyone went into the shelter of GOD Shree Shivji and started praying for protection. It is only GOD who protects the entire world from distress. GOD immediately relinquishes the pain of everyone who takes His shelter. GOD Shree Shivji is Ashutosh (one who gets pleased very soon) and being pleased with those who take His shelter He quickly removes their sufferings.
Therefore, wise men only take the shelter of GOD who destroys the pain of refugee in calamity.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - For the welfare of everyone GOD Shree Shivji, the life-giver of this world, pleasingly accepted the offer of drinking Halahal poison. GOD Shree Shivji is extremely kind. On this occasion, by drinking poison He gave new life to everyone and only by His power all creatures were able to survive. GOD Shree Shivji picked up the Halahal poison in His palm and then drank it.
The saints explain that since GOD resides in the heart of GOD Shree Shivji, therefore, He did not let the poison go till His heart so that GOD residing in heart should not suffer. GOD Shree Shivji gave place to that poison in His throat and hence His throat became blue and He got a new name “NeelKanth” (One whose throat is blue).
No one is as merciful as GOD Shree Shivji, therefore, He is also called Shree Mahadevji which means Deity of Deities and adorable of Deities.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - When Bhagwati Laxmi Mata (GODDESS of Wealth) appeared in the churning of the ocean then She choose GOD because all auspicious virtues reside in GOD. Therefore, GOD is the only shelter of Bhagwati Laxmi Mata.
People in the world today seek Bhagwati Laxmi Mata but do not seek GOD with Her and they forget GOD. In this world, people only want the blessings of Bhagwati Laxmi Mata. Seeking Bhagwati Laxmi Mata is only best when she is called in the form of GOD Shree LaxmiNarayanji. When Mother comes with GOD then they both bless the creature. Therefore, in life, we should never call Bhagwati Laxmi Mata alone.
A creature should worship the form of GOD Shree LaxmiNarayanji.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- When both GOD and GODDESS are together sought by a creature they both come and shower their blessing on the creature.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji said the above words to King Shri Parikshitji.
When the nectar came out during the churning of the ocean, then GOD took the Mohini incarnation and fascinated the demons and gave nectar to the Deities. Both Deities and demons worked together at the same time and at the same place to achieve nectar but there was a big difference in the result of that work. Deities easily got nectar as a result of their deed because they had taken the shelter of the holy dust particles attached to the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. But since demons were disinclined from GOD, therefore, even after doing hard work they were deprived of nectar.
It is an eternal principle that when we take the shelter of GOD and perform any work by dedicating it to GOD then we definitely get its auspicious result.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- All deeds must be performed by taking the shelter of GOD and by dedicating the deed to GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji said the above words to King Shri Parikshitji.
Whenever we perform any deed for GOD then that deed is automatically performed for this world also. When the root of a tree is watered, its trunk, shoots and leaves everything is irrigated, similarly, if any deed is performed for GOD that deed is automatically proved for everyone. After irrigating the root of a tree with water, there is no need to irrigate trunk, shoots and leaves separately because the root automatically sends the water nutrition to the trunk, shoots and leaves. Similarly, after performing deeds for GOD and after satisfying GOD there is no need to do anything separately for this world.
Therefore, a creature must perform his deeds for GOD and for the satisfaction of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must satisfy GOD with our deeds and the world will automatically be satisfied.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - After the churning of the ocean when there was a war between Deities and demons, then demons created illusion and secretly attacked Deities. Deities tried various measures to counter the demonic illusion but all were a waste. When Deities were not able to find any solution then they remembered the life-giver of this world, GOD.
At their request, GOD immediately appeared there and as GOD appeared illusion created by demons immediately dissolved. Just as upon waking up dreams disappears, similarly, as soon as GOD appeared illusion disappeared and dissolved.
The remembrance of GOD frees a creature from all adversities. Therefore, in distress, we should only call GOD and should only take the shelter of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- In distress, we must only remember and seek GOD and take the shelter of GOD.
