The Lord dispatches His messengers, who are venerated even by celestial beings. They have a marvelous physical appearance, comparable to that of Krishna or Visnu, and are rarely seen. God's messengers protect the Lord's devotees from their enemies and envious beings, from natural disasters, and even from Yamaraja, the lord and master of death and judge of the guilty, appointed to this position by Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The true principles of religion are defined by Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for neither the great sages inhabiting the highest planets of the galaxy and perfectly established in virtue, nor the celestial beings, nor the rulers of the various planets, much less the demonic disbelievers and ordinary men, can do so.

The Lord cites the true principle of religion in these words: Leave all other forms of religion and simply surrender to me. I will free you from all the consequences of your sins; have no fear.

This transcendent principle of surrendering to the Supreme Lord and loving Him is uncontaminated by the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature: virtue, passion, and ignorance. It is the subject of a very intimate, secret knowledge, and ordinary people find it very difficult to understand. However, if someone is fortunate enough to assimilate it, they are immediately liberated and return to God, to their original abode.

This religious principle, of which Krishna is the source, is the most secret of all religious principles.

In this age of Kali in which we live, the iron age, the black age, the dark age, the age of discord, hypocrisy, quarrels, indifference, decadence, and sin, no one is able to perform all the prescribed rites for attaining liberation; this task proves extremely arduous. Consequently, the Lord Himself enjoins us to hum the chant of His holy name, “Hare Krishna,” during this age, to be easily freed from all the consequences of our sins.

This is the only recommended path to freedom from the consequences of sin. Even if someone chants the Lord's holy name without pronouncing it correctly, he will escape the bonds of materiality if he does not commit offenses.

The supreme religion for man is that which allows him to awaken his latent love for Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Yamaraja, the lord of death and judge of the guilty, specifies to his servants, the Yamadutas, who they must bring to him.

All those who disobey God must be severely punished.

The holy beings, devotees of Krishna, are exceptional beings who have no taste for material pleasures.
