Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda explains the profound identity of the Yajña-puruṣa—the Supreme Beneficiary and Enjoyer of all sacrifices, Lord Viṣṇu or Kṛṣṇa. He clarifies that all Vedic ritualistic sacrifices are ultimately meant to satisfy Him alone. When the Yajña-puruṣa is satisfied, all the demigods are automatically satisfied, and the necessities of life are abundantly supplied. Śrīla Prabhupāda warns that any action performed without the intention of pleasing the Yajña-puruṣa causes material bondage (karma-bandhana). For the current Age of Kali, the most intelligent and effective way to satisfy the Yajña-puruṣa, specifically in the form of Lord Caitanya, is by performing the saṅkīrtana-yajña (the congregational chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra).
- The Ultimate Enjoyer of Sacrifice: The term Yajña-puruṣa specifically refers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Viṣṇu or Lord Kṛṣṇa, who is the true beneficiary of all ritualistic performances and austerities.
- Nourishing the Universal Administration: Because the demigods are simply limbs of the Lord's universal body, offering sacrifices directly to the Yajña-puruṣa automatically satisfies all of them.
- Freedom from Material Reactions: Acting for one's own sense gratification binds the soul to the material world, whereas dedicating one's work and life to the Yajña-puruṣa liberates one from all karmic entanglement.
- The Supreme Sacrifice for Kali-yuga: In the present age, the most authorized and effective way to please the Yajña-puruṣa is by participating in the saṅkīrtana movement inaugurated by Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
- Explore the synthesized essence of this category in this Vanipedia article: Satisfying the Supreme Yajña-puruṣa.
Pages in category "Yajna-purusa"
The following 26 pages are in this category, out of 26 total.
A
- A yajna may be carried out to satisfy a particular demigod, but when the yajna is offered to the yajna-purusa, Narayana, the demigods are satisfied
- Also, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Visnu (the yajna-purusa) also came and personally accepted all the sacrifices offered unto Him with pure and firm devotion in the sacrificial arena
- As stated herein (in SB 4.14.18), bhagavan yajna-purusah - the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, is the yajna-purusa. As stated in Bhagavad-gita (BG 5.29): bhoktaram yajna-tapasam. Krsna is the ultimate purpose of all sacrifice
I
- If one performs activities for the satisfaction of the Supreme Personality, the yajna-purusa, his work does not produce reactions, whereas karmis, who act for themselves, are bound by the reactions of their work
- If we have to work for the satisfaction of the yajna-purusa, Visnu, then we must find out the direction of work in Brahman, or the transcendental Vedas. The Vedas are therefore codes of working directions. BG 1972 purports
- If you dedicate your life for yajna . . . yajna means for Visnu. Yajnarthe karma means . . . yajna-purusa is Visnu. If you work for Visnu, then you are safe. Otherwise you are becoming complicated
- If you perform the sankirtana-yajna, then it is as good any other yajna. Yajna means to satisfy the yajna-purusa, Visnu, Lord Visnu
- In the varnasrama-dharma, the ultimate goal is to worship Lord Visnu, whose name is Yajna. Out of many names of Lord Visnu, one name is Yajna, Yajna-purusa. So yajna, to . . . anything performed to satisfy the Supreme Lord, that is called yajna
- It is recommended in Srimad-Bhagavatam (yajnaih sankirtana-prayaih) that by performing sankirtana-yajna and by satisfying the yajna-purusa, Lord Caitanya, one can derive all the results derived by great sacrifices in the past
- It is recommended that in this age specifically, yajnaih sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi sumedhasah: (SB 11.5.32) those who have good intelligence satisfy the yajna-purusa, Visnu, by chanting the Hare Krsna mantra
S
- Sacrifice is ultimately meant to satisfy the yajna-purusa, Visnu. In Bhagavad-gita (BG 3.13) it is said that one who accepts foodstuffs as the remnants of sacrifice is freed from all sinful reactions
- Sukracarya said: My Lord, You are the enjoyer and lawgiver in all performances of sacrifice, and You are the yajna-purusa, the person to whom all sacrifices are offered
T
- The fire ceremony means fire is also representation of yajna-purusa, and through fire, the yajna-purusa eats, purusottama
- The more you become independent, you become more and more entangled. Yajnarthe karma . . . karmani, anyatra karma-bandhanah. If you don't act for Yajna, Yajna-purusa, Krsna, then you'll be entangled
- The narayana-sila, salagrama-sila is there whenever there is some yajna, because He (Narayana) is the yajna-purusa
- The result of material sacrifice goes to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Narayana. Lord Krsna says in Bhagavad-gita (BG 5.29), bhoktaram yajna-tapasam: He is actually the enjoyer of all sacrifices. His name, therefore, is Yajna-purusa
- The Supreme Lord, who is known as the yajna-purusah, or the personal beneficiary of all sacrifices, is the master of all demigods who serve Him as the different limbs of the body serve the whole. BG 1972 purports
- The Visnu Purana (3.8.9) says: All the Vedic ritualistic sacrifices are performed for the purpose of satisfying Lord Visnu, the yajna-purusa - CC Madhya 8.58 quoted in SB 8.23.15
- The word udara-dhih is significant. The wife of the King, Sunitha, was not fit to accept this benediction, yet the King was so liberal that without hesitation he offered to his wife the boiled rice in milk prasada received from the yajna-purusa
Y
- Yajna means Krsna, Yajna-purusa, Yajnesvara. Krsna's another name is Yajnesvara. Bhoktaram yajna-tapasam, Krsna says. Yajna-tapasam, bhokta. So therefore there is Yajnesvara. So whatever you do for Krsna, it will have no reaction - digest everything
- Yajna means Lord Visnu, the yajna-purusa, the enjoyer of all sacrifices (bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva-loka-mahesvaram) - BG 5.29
