KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM HH HARIVILAS MAHARAJ’S MORNING BHAGAVATAM CLASS ON SB 3.3.6 – 7:
- It is said in other Purāṇas that Narakāsura was the son of Dharitrī, the earth, by the Lord Himself. But he became a demon due to the bad association of Bāṇa, another demon.
- An atheist is called a demon, and it is a fact that even a person born of good parents can turn into a demon by bad association.
- Birth is not always the criterion of goodness; unless and until one is trained in the culture of good association, one cannot become good.
- Narakāsura kidnapped many daughters of great kings and kept them imprisoned in his palace. But when he was killed by the Lord and the Lord entered the house of the demon, all the princesses were enlivened with joy and offered to become His wives because the Lord is the only friend of the distressed.
- Unless the Lord accepted them, there would be no chance of their being married because the demon kidnapped them from their fathers’ custody and therefore no one would agree to marry them.
- According to Vedic society, girls are transferred from the custody of the father to the custody of the husband.
- Since these princesses had already been taken away from the custody of their fathers, it would have been difficult for them to have any husband other than the Lord Himself.
SB 3.3.6 TRANSLATION:
Narakāsura, the son of Dharitrī, the earth, tried to grasp the whole sky, and for this he was killed by the Lord in a fight. His mother then prayed to the Lord. This led to the return of the kingdom to the son of Narakāsura, and thus the Lord entered the house of the demon.
It is said in other Purāṇas that Narakāsura was the son of Dharitrī, the earth, by the Lord Himself. But he became a demon due to the bad association of Bāṇa, another demon. An atheist is called a demon, and it is a fact that even a person born of good parents can turn into a demon by bad association. Birth is not always the criterion of goodness; unless and until one is trained in the culture of good association, one cannot become good.
Never send kids to schools, they are going to be exposed to evil people or asuras..
We have 4 defects that disqualify us from understanding the truth.. Make mistakes, easily illusioned, limited senses,We lie..
If one is fortunate enough to meet a pure devotee of Krsna.. If one is fortunate enough to to be attracted to hear from such devotees..
Daily hear to SP that is why I am in the movement since 57 years..
One need not read many books, just read SP books – BG, SB, CC, NOD, ISO that is all you need to be fully educated.. That is enough for several lifetimes of study.. Only need to know one book thoroughly.. That is BG. Rest of the life preaching from that book. That has the quintessential truth.. We should only distribute SP books.. And very very dedicated to hear SP.. thousands of SP lectures. We have the recording and also the text..
Association
Narakasura – Banasura
Kamsa – Bad friends Agasura, Sakatasura.. , he tried killing Durga whom he worships.. To be able to see yoga maya you have to be a devotee. As Kamsa is not a devotee he saw Durga.. He ordered the demons to go and kill each child in Vrindavan..
Quintessential – it is representing the most perfect element of the category..
Most teachers today are atheistic..
We need to research and see if they eat meat,
We send kids to school to socialize!!! We need not socialize with demons..
The child needs to socialize with parents to learn to become devotees.
even a person born of good parents can turn into a demon by bad association.
If you do not follow it how can you say you understood it..
This purport is imp to learn from to protect our family and children so we can be devotees..
SB 3.3.7
There in the house of the demon, all the princesses kidnapped by Narakāsura at once became alert upon seeing the Lord, the friend of the distressed. They looked upon Him with eagerness, joy and shyness and offered to be His wives.
Narakāsura kidnapped many daughters of great kings and kept them imprisoned in his palace. But when he was killed by the Lord and the Lord entered the house of the demon, all the princesses were enlivened with joy and offered to become His wives because the Lord is the only friend of the distressed. Unless the Lord accepted them, there would be no chance of their being married because the demon kidnapped them from their fathers’ custody and therefore no one would agree to marry them. According to Vedic society, girls are transferred from the custody of the father to the custody of the husband. Since these princesses had already been taken away from the custody of their fathers, it would have been difficult for them to have any husband other than the Lord Himself.
Even in the time of Krsna there were demons like Narakasura kidnapping princess (16,000) … and putting them in a palace that no one can get in.. Krishna entered and protected the princesses..
Demons make mistakes.. Ravana, Narakasura..

Lord Rama – Monogamy and Rama Rajya
Unless you become a guru you cannot beget a child or even marry if you cannot liberate your wife and child then you incur sin..
If you don’t surrender to Krsna – right there it is a sin.. If you refuse to surrender to God.. we suffer karmic reactions..
Why weather is not hot still – Very hot in southern cal and parts of India..
