TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Brahmaji said the above words in praise of GOD.
GOD Shree Brahmaji says that Shri Nandji and the residents of Braj are indeed very blessed as they have established a relationship of a relative with GOD. That creature who establishes a relationship with GOD is blessed. But the creature forgets GOD and establishes a relationship with the world and gets sorrow at last. A creature has an eternal relationship with GOD, therefore, he is blessed only when he identifies this eternal relationship with GOD and gets attached to Him in any form. Whatever relationship we establish with GOD, GOD accepts it and maintains it.
Therefore, a creature must establish a relationship with GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must be able to establish a relationship with GOD in any form.

Attaching all our senses to GOD is true devotion. Residents of Braj drink the joy of GOD from all their senses which is even sweeter than nectar. Residents of Braj have attached all their senses to GOD. GOD Shree Brahmaji praises the fortune of all the residents of Braj only because of this reason that they have attached all their senses to GOD. True ecstasy of life lies only in this fact that we should attach all our senses to GOD. The ecstasy which is in this cannot be found elsewhere.
Therefore, a creature must try to attach all his senses to GOD by undertaking devotion in life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must attach all our senses to GOD through devotion.

Therefore there is no difference between them and GOD. By this statement devotion and glory of the devotee is rendered. How high the place of a devotee in this world is, we can clearly see here.

Residents of Braj dedicated their house, wealth, relatives, body, son, life, mind and everything in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. They dedicated themselves completely to GOD. For this service, GOD also dedicated Himself to residents of Braj. There is nothing else that is bigger than GOD and GOD dedicated Himself but still, GOD was not able to repay. The capability of loving devotion is so big that even after dedicating Himself GOD does not consider that He had repaid everything.
Nothing is dearer to GOD in comparison to loving devotion and GOD sacrifices Himself in return.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

Attachment and malice are only stuck to a creature until he becomes of GOD. As soon as he becomes of GOD these flaws are automatically removed. Home and relatives can bind us only until we become of GOD. As we become of GOD reclusiveness comes into our mind and worldly bondages are unable to bind us. Endearment can lock us only until we become of GOD. As we become of GOD our endearment bondage is demolished.
Therefore, a creature should become of GOD by undertaking devotion so that worldly disorders cannot affect him.

GOD is fully devoid of worldly hassles. Merits and demerits of this world can never affect GOD. Then too GOD takes incarnation on this earth to give pleasure to His sheltered devotees. During His incarnation, He expands His Holy pastimes so that devotees can be benefited by listening, narrating and thinking about the pastime. The only purpose of GOD’s Holy pastime is to provide pleasure and salvation to His devotees. GOD’s Holy pastime provides endless pleasure to His devotees.
Therefore, a creature must listen and think about the Holy pastimes of GOD so that he can achieve ecstasy and salvation.

For those who have taken the shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of saintly fame GOD, for them crossing this worldly ocean becomes as easy as it is for us to cross a pit made by the feet of a calf. When a calf walks, the pit made by its feet is very small and we cross it very easily without any effort. Similarly, the creature who takes the shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD crosses this worldly ocean without any effort. That creature achieves the supreme status. For him, this world, full of sorrows and troubles becomes a provider of pleasure.
Therefore, a creature must take the shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD in life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The one who takes the shelter in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD crosses the worldly ocean without any effort.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - There are no other means of purification other than listening, contemplating and chanting the Holy pastime and narration of GOD.
Gops and Gopis used to chant the Holy pastimes of GOD in Shri Braj. Herdsman children walked behind GOD by remembering GOD’s Holy pastimes and by praising Him. The best means of our purification in this world is listening, contemplating and chanting the Holy pastime and narration of GOD. Saints and devotees daily listen to the Holy pastime and narration of GOD, daily contemplate about the Holy pastime and narration of GOD and daily chant the Holy pastime and narration of GOD. Listening, contemplating and chanting the Holy pastime and narration of GOD not only sanctifies us but also provides us divine ecstasy.

On the head of GOD, a beautiful crown of peacock feather was there, in hairs beautiful flowers were intertwined. GOD's eyes and GOD's smile were very sweet and delightful.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Once GOD went to the bank of Bhagwati Yamuna Mata (Holy river of India) with herdsman children. In Shri Yamunaji a viper named Kaliya lived and because of him, the water was poisonous. The cows and herdsman children drank the poisoned water because of thirst. After drinking the poisoned water, cows and herdsman children became lifeless.
They considered GOD as their owner and everything and had the strongest faith in GOD. In distress, they only had faith in GOD. After watching them in such lifeless condition GOD saw them by His nectar showering sight and they became alive.
When we consider GOD as our everything and have the deepest faith in GOD then He protects us from every trouble. GOD holds the full responsibility of the creatures living in His shelter.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must have the firmest of firm faith in GOD.

When GOD jumped in Shri Yamunaji to clean it from the Kaliya's poison then Kaliya contemptuously came in front of GOD. He gripped GOD in his bondage and GOD got tied doing Holy pastime. As the herdsman children standing on the shore saw this, they fainted because of grief and fear. Herdsman children have dedicated their everything to GOD therefore after watching the suffering of GOD they fainted.
A devotee loves GOD so much that he cannot tolerate the suffering of GOD even in imagination.

When Kaliya viper gripped GOD in his bondage and GOD got tied doing Holy pastime then bad omens started happening in Shri Braj. When Shri Nandji, Gops and Gopis saw these bad omens and came to know that GOD is not there and had gone to serve cows then they all were disconcerted by fear. They became impatient because of the fear, grief and sorrow that any ominous incident may not happen to GOD. As soon as such things came to their mind they became very destitute and with the longing to see their beloved GOD safe they left their homes and set out to find the GOD.
Residents of Braj greatly loved GOD and always wished for His auspiciousness.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Snake wives said the above words to GOD.
GOD saw that residents of Braj reached the bank of Shri Yamunaji while searching Him and when they saw GOD gripped in the bonding of Kaliya they fainted because of love. Then GOD inflated His body and because of that Kaliya’s body began to break. GOD came out of the bondage and started dancing on the head of Kaliya. There were one hundred and one heads of Kaliya and whichever head he did not bow, GOD struck it with His Divine Lotus Feet. By the strike of GOD’s Divine Lotus Feet, Kaliya’s life power was exhausted and his every body part got shattered with pain. Then the snake wives brought their children in front and greeted GOD and came into His shelter for their husband’s protection. They said to GOD that GOD punishes sinners for the atonement of their sins and for their ultimate welfare. After getting punishment from GOD, all the sins of sinners are destroyed.
In the process of GOD’s punishment ultimate welfare and the ultimate benefit of the creature is hidden.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Snake wives said the above words to GOD.
When GOD blessed Kaliya and alternately struck his one hundred and one heads by His Divine Lotus Feet one by one then after watching this, wives of Kaliya praised the fortune of their husband. They said that it is the result of which religious practice of Kaliya that he got an opportunity to achieve the touch of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. Dust of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD is so rare that devotees deny the kingdom of heaven, imperial of earth, the kingdom of the Rasatal, the position of GOD Shree Brahmaji, attainments and even salvation in lieu of it. Dust of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD is so rare therefore achieving the constant touch of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD on his head was such a big fortune of Kaliya.
The glory of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD is immense therefore devotees engage their mind in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD by devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Devotees engage their mind in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD by undertaking devotion of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Snake wives said the above words in praise of GOD.
Snake wives say that GOD is the owner and bears the sins of their people. They said that our husband Kaliya is a loggerhead and was unable to identify GOD, therefore, is eligible for mercy. Snake wives said that Kaliya is going to die anytime because of the strike from GOD and they will become orphans. Therefore provide us mercy and do not give the sentence of death to our husband. They said to GOD that we all are your slaves and hence please order us what we should serve you. The key is that whoever serves GOD and follows the orders of GOD by faith, GOD relieves him from all kinds of fears.
Therefore, a creature should raptly serve GOD so that fear can leave his life forever.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD relieves us from all kinds of fears.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - How big is the importance of Feet Signs of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD, we can see here.
The narration is that Shri Garudji is the vehicle of GOD Shree Vishnuji and Shri Garudji’s food was the snake, therefore on Ramnak island snakes have made such a rule that on every new moon snake families will turn by turn offer one snake to Shri Garudji. Kaliya viper was arrogant because of his powers and he refused to sacrifice. Then Shri Garudji attacked him at a very high speed and hurt Kaliya by poking him. Then because of fear of Shri Garudji, Kaliya ran away and hid himself in Shri Yamunaji. Now GOD had mercy on him and the Feet Signs of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD were inscribed on his head therefore now for Shri Garudji also Kaliya became honorable.
Because of being eligible for the mercy of GOD he automatically became eligible for the mercy from Shri Garudji.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must make ourselves eligible for the mercy of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - How wonderfully everyone loved GOD, it can be seen here.
When GOD graced Kaliya and made him fearless by forgiving him then he worshiped GOD. After it, with great love and ecstasy, he revolved around GOD to greet Him, worshipped Him, and after taking permission he left Shri Yamunaji and went away. When GOD came out of Shri Yamunaji then all the residents of Braj who were unconscious, stood up as if life had been circulated in their senses. Heart of all the Gops and Gopis got filled with pleasure. They hugged GOD with deep love. Bhagwati Yashoda Mata’s eyes were showering tears of joy again and again. Everyone was delighted to believe that everyone’s wish was fulfilled. Even the mountains, trees, cows, bulls, and calves were beaming.
The thing which is worth learning from this parable is how immensely one should love GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Residents of Braj said the above words to GOD.
When GOD came back after releasing Shri Yamunaji from Kaliya then it was almost evening, therefore, the tired residents of Braj did not return to Braj and slept on the bank of Shri Yamunaji. It was summertime and the forest was dry, so it went up in flames and the fire surrounded the residents of Braj. Nervous residents woke up in panic and went to the shelter of GOD. The request they made to GOD is worth noting. They said to GOD that they are not afraid of death but they are unable to leave the association of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. After death they will have to go away from the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD, therefore, they requested GOD to protect them from the fire so that they can constantly remain associated with the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD.
A devotee constantly seeks the contiguity of GOD and can never bear GOD’s separation.

They said to GOD that GOD is their only savior and their only master. They have full faith only in GOD. After listening to their humble words GOD protected them and drank that fierce fire from His mouth. Earlier GOD drank fire in the night and this time He drank fire in the day. This shows that GOD is always ready to protect His devotees day or night.

When GOD went for serving cows in the morning then Gopis used to see Him. Then throughout the day, they would keep waiting for GOD that when He will return back they can visualize Him again. Gopis became very delighted when GOD used to come back with cows. Because without GOD, every single moment was like a hundred eras for them. They were not able to bear the separation from GOD and yearn to meet GOD. When GOD returned, Gopis got engrossed in ecstasy after visualizing GOD.
How much we should love GOD, Gopis are the master of this and we should learn this from Gopis.
