siddha-deha pāñā kukkura vaikuṇṭhete gelā
SYNONYMS
āra dina—the next day; keha—all of them; tāra—of the dog; dekhā nā pāilā—did not get sight; siddha-deha pāñā—obtaining a spiritual body; kukkura—the dog; vaikuṇṭhete gelā—went to the spiritual kingdom, Vaikuṇṭha.
TRANSLATION
The next day, no one saw that dog, for it had obtained its spiritual body and departed for Vaikuṇṭha, the spiritual kingdom.
PURPORT
This is the result of sādhu-saṅga (CC Madhya 22.83)—consequent association with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and promotion back home, back to Godhead. This result is possible even for a dog, by the mercy of the Vaiṣṇava. Therefore, everyone in the human form of life should be induced to associate with devotees. By rendering a little service, even by eating prasādam, what to speak of chanting and dancing, everyone can be promoted to Vaikuṇṭhaloka. It is therefore requested that all our devotees in the ISKCON community become pure Vaiṣṇavas, so that by their mercy all the people of the world will be transferred to Vaikuṇṭhaloka, even without their knowledge. Everyone should be given a chance to take prasādam and thus be induced to chant the holy names Hare Kṛṣṇa and also dance in ecstasy. By these three processes, although performed without knowledge or education, even an animal went back to Godhead.
