Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is being pushed in the Western countries, where the modes of passion and ignorance is very prominent. But this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement does not depend on these material modes of nature. It is above. It is without any impediment, without any stumbling block offered by the material causes. Ahaituky apratihatā ([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]]).

This movement cannot be checked by the material modes of nature. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gītā also. Lord says, Kṛṣṇa:

<div class="quote_verse">
:māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya
:ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ 
:([[Vanisource:BG 9.32 (1972)|BG 9.32]])
</div>

Pāpa-yoni. Pāpa-yoni means sinful species of life, or born in the family which is not very pious, pāpa-yoni. Or pāpa-yoni means lower species of life. So the demonic life is pāpa-yoni. Demonic life is obtained due to sinful activities.

(aside) Come on.

That is also explained in the Bhagavad-gītā:

<div class="quote_verse">
:tān ahaṁ dviṣataḥ krūrān
:kṣipāmy ajasram eva yoniṣu 
:([[Vanisource:BG 16.19 (1972)|BG 16.19]])
</div>

Lord Kṛṣṇa says: "Those who are envious of Me, I put them into the āsurī yoni."

So on the whole it is to be understood that those who are devotees, they, even born of pāpa-yoni, impious family, still bhagavad-bhakti, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is not impossible for them. That is being described herein by Prahlāda Mahārāja.
