VEDA - Vedas and Vedic Knowledge Online - Vedic Encyclopedia, Bhakti-yoga in vedas, Library Ajamila was practically enroute to hell and his condition was a good example of ignorance. Ajamila's story is given in the Bhagavata Purana (6th book, chapter 1) as an example to illustrate that even the most wicked person can attain Visnupada (salvation). Ajamila was a brahmana who was once sent by his father to the jungle to fetch samit (leaves and twigs to make the sacrificial fire). www.veda.harekrsna.cz /encyclopedia/dying.htm   (7074 words)

Encyclopedia: Ajamila Ajamila was raised according to the Vedic regulations. Ajamila was a resident of Kanyakubja (the modern Kanauj). Ajamila begot in the womb of the prostitute ten sons, the last of whom was called Narayana. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Ajamila   (1376 words)

Ajamila, The Vile Sinner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) The story of Ajamila ('Ajaamilopaakhyaanam') occurs in the chapter VI of Srimad Bhagavatam. As he was very virtuous in his earlier days Ajamila was able to perceive the dreaded messengers of death armed with the noose of death, he called for his darling son Narayana by name in full and only in sheer agitation. In this connection, the Yama-dhutas praised Ajamila's virtuous life in his earlier years till he converted himself into a wretched sinner, by falling into evil ways by cohabiting with this mean harlot who had known several men previously. www.chennaionline.com /festivalsnreligion/religion/religion33.asp   (496 words)

Theosophy Trust Ajamila was in his early youth, the attendants of Death reminded the attendants of Vishnu, a devout and truthful man, self-controlled, well versed in the scriptures, a friend to all beings and creatures. But one day, while in the woods gathering flowers for worship, he was aroused by the sight of a lustful couple, lost all control of himself, became greatly attached to the woman who was a wanton, forsook his lawful wife for her and gave up the pure life that he had been living. If Ajamila was able to invoke the name and the love of God on the approach of death, this must have been because he did not allow his misdeeds to corrupt his inner consciousness or to destroy the line of his ideation in his early life and in previous lives. www.theosophytrust.org /tlodocs/articlesRNIyer.php?d=RepentanceandKarma.htm&p=3   (1805 words)

A Second Chance: Although Ajamila was referring to the small child and not to the original Narayana, the name of Narayana is so powerful that even by chanting his son's name he was becoming purified. Since Ajamila was the son of a brahmana, he had been accustomed to worshiping Narayana in his youth, because in every brahmana's house there is worship of Narayana. Ajamila was simply on the verge of death as the argument progressed between the Yamadutas and the Visnudutas. www.bvml.org /books/ASCTHoN-DE.html   (14756 words)

Shreemad Bhagavatam - Bhagavad Purana Ajamila was very respectful to his spiritual master, the fire-god, guests, and the elderly members of his household. Ajamila was a brahmana who because of bad association had given up all brahminical culture and religious principles. Ajamila, for example, was extremely sinful, but while dying he merely chanted the holy name, and although calling his son, he achieved complete liberation because he remembered the name of Narayana. www.astrojyoti.com /bhagavatam6a.htm   (12312 words)

Chanting Hare Krishna Ajamila was born of good parents who trained him in knowledge of the Vedas to become a perfect brahmana. Ajamila, however, could not understand that the length of his life was decreasing and death was approaching. The Vishnudutas, however, stated that Ajamila had already atoned for all of his sinful actions, not only for this one life but for those performed in millions of lives, simply by chanting the holy name of Narayana in a helpless condition. www.stephen-knapp.com /chanting_hare_krishna.htm   (10868 words)

Kirtan: Ancient Medicine for Modern Man Ajamila, in his youth, was raised according to the Vedic regulations. Although Ajamila was very strictly following the Vedic principles and was engaged in the worship of the Supreme Lord, he nevertheless became bewildered simply by seeing a man and woman engaged in sexual activity. The conclusion was that although Ajamila was sinful throughout his life and gave up his religious life, his wife and children and begot children through a prostitute, he nevertheless was purified from all these sins because at the last moment he chanted the holy name of Krishna, Narayana. www.hansadutta.com /KIRTAN/k8.html   (1243 words)

THE RABBI AND I Ajamila had been a very good religious person in his youth, but somehow or other he became attracted to a prostitute. They said that because Ajamila cried out the holy name of Narayana he had become free from the results of his sins and could not be touched by the Yamadutas. Ajamila was very fortunate that the Yamadutas could not take him to Yamaraja for punishment, but he also could not go back to Godhead at that moment. www.equalsouls.org /07.html   (878 words)

Canto 6 Ajamila, a qualified brahmana youth, lost all his brahminical qualities because of his association with a prostitute, but he was ultimately saved because he had begun the process of bhakti-yoga. According to the sinful activities of Ajamila, he was within the jurisdiction of Yamaraja, the supreme judge appointed to consider the sins of the living entities. Ajamila was simply in an unconscious state when the argument was in progress between the Yamadutas and the Visnudutas. www.dharmakshetra.com /literature/Srimad%20bhagavatam/Canto%2006.htm   (17544 words)

The Hare Krsnas - The Philosophy - Writings of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada Thus when Ajamila was in great danger of being carried off by the order-carriers of Yamaraja, the Lord immediately sent His personal order-carriers to protect him, and because Ajamila was freed from all sinful reactions, the Visnudutas spoke on his behalf. When Ajamila named his son Narayana, all the reactions of his sinful life were neutralized, and as he continued calling his son and thus chanting the holy name of Narayana thousands of times, he was actually unconsciously advancing in Krsna consciousness. Ajamila thought, "Because I failed to be self-controlled, I was degraded to an abominable life and all my brahminical qualifications were nullified." This is the mentality of one who is becoming a pure devotee. www.harekrsna.com /philosophy/acarya/writings/second3.htm   (12214 words)

The Story of Ajamila Ajamila was a Brahmana, who lived in the city of Kanya Kubja many, many years ago. Ajamila did not even recognize the attendants of Yama (the Lord of Death). Ajamila immediately left for Haridwar, where he sat on the banks of the river practising the yoga of devotion. www.yogamag.net /archives/2004/6dec04/ajamila.shtml   (573 words)

Coming Back - Chapter 4 Ajamila was very attached to his young son and derived great pleasure watching the child's early attempts to walk and talk. Ajamila always showed proper respect to his spiritual master, guests, and the elderly members of his household -- indeed, he was free from false prestige. Ajamila came to his senses and, free from fear, paid his heartfelt respects to the Visnudutas by bowing his head at their feet. www.webcom.com /~ara/col/books/KR/cb/chapter4.html   (9129 words)

The Hare Krsnas - The Philosophy - Writings of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada Although Ajamila was born of a brahmana father and strictly followed the regulative principles--no meat-eating, no illicit sex, no intoxication, and no gambling--he fell in love with a prostitute, and therefore all his good qualities were lost. Ajamila's sinfulness is shown by the fact that although he was eighty-eight years old, he had a very young child. Ajamila was a young man of twenty when he met the prostitute, and he begot ten children in her. www.harekrsna.com /philosophy/acarya/writings/second.htm   (12417 words)

Yama One Ajamila, a notably wicked person of his times, spent his entire life with utmost iniquity. When Ajamila lay on his deathbed he called out to his son to bring him his last drink of water. Ajamila was thus saved but, somehow, he reformed himself and became so virtuous that, later, when he died, he attained salvation. www.pantheon.org /articles/y/yama_2.html   (1120 words)

Commentary on Ajamila's 'The Ritvik's FAKED Final Order' - IRM - ISKCON Revival Movement Ajamila’s introduction presents 3 main lines of argument: the May 28th tape, The 'law of disciplic succession' and the 'Vaisnava tradition'. Ajamila's cheating in using Capitals for the word 'In', and his omission of the continuity marks '…', tries to give the impression that the restriction of not initiating in the presence of the spiritual master, which he has conveniently omitted is not part of the law. Thus from every angle of vision, this paper from Ajamila, is useless as a contribution to this debate, since it defeats its own arguments, and in any case does not even address the actual arguments that are supposed to be the very purpose of this debate. www.users.zetnet.co.uk /irg/print/chakra_debate/1commentary_on_ajamila_p.htm   (2121 words)

Tomando cartas en el asunto Ajamila quiere mejorar ya que leyó libros que enúncian como erróneo su comportamiento. Ajamila es explorador, aventurero, galante y seductor a la vez, pero en realidad no es nada. Son millones de ajamilas los que hacen mover este mundo, son estos modelos de juguetería tan bien hechos los que manejan este mundo, lo empújan a su antójo. members.tripod.com /~echa_muni/index-10.html   (1484 words)

Questions and Answers In case of Ajamila, he didn’t even cry out for Krishna; rather he was calling for his son. Ajamila’s unintentionally calling out the names of Narayana is considered to be in the Namabhasa stage, for it is free of the ten kinds of offenses to the holy name. In other words, Ajamila was not sinning on the strength of his chanting, nor did he consider his chanting to be some material ritualistic activity, etc. www.atlantaharekrishnas.org /newsgroup/qanda/0002d.htm   (4017 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Ajamila was freed of the consequences of his sinful acts because he uttered the name "Narayana" on his deathbed though he was actually calling his son by that name, and not the Lord Himself. In truth, it was Ajamila's good deeds and conduct in the previous births as well that helped him attain a blissful state. Incessant chanting of divine names should be done with genuine love and devotion to God, and with the honest commitment to the vow that one will refrain from the sinful path that cannot lead one to God. www.hinduonnet.com /thehindu/thscrip/print.pl?file=2005082601610900.htm&date=2005/08/26/&prd=th&   (381 words)

The Book of THoTH (Leaves of Wisdom) - Karma in Hinduism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Ajamila had committed many evil deeds during his life such as stealing, abandoning his wife and children, and marrying a prostitute.

Ajamila was actually thinking of his youngest son, whose name was also Narayana. www.book-of-thoth.com /thebook/index.php/Karma_in_Hinduism   (2308 words)

Adridharana's Commentary on Ajamila's Answer - IRM - ISKCON Revival Movement Ajamila then tried to escape from this by proposing that the ritviks magically transform into diksa gurus through the existence of an intermediate entity known as the ritvik-acarya. Therefore proving the existence of this entity is vital to Ajamila's case. Thus the more Ajamila persists with his ludicrous idea of the need for physical contact with a ‘living guru’ the more he continues to leave himself and Srila Prabhupada open to ridicule since he is arguing that Srila Prabhupada is preaching something as a necessity that he himself never practised with most of his disciples. www.iskconirm.com /1adridharanas_commentary_on_Ajamils_answer.htm   (1775 words)

SB-text-495 Ajamila became extremely bewildered when he saw them. So the Ajamila, young man, on account of association with a prostitute, he lost his good character and began to maintain the prostitute by stealing, by cheating, one after another. So although this Ajamila, by his foolishness, he was attached to the material body of the son, but because he was chanting "Narayana," Krsna was taking that essence, that's all, that "Some way or other, he is chanting." The importance of chanting is so nice. www.prabhupadavani.org /Bhagavatam/text/495.html   (1464 words)

Criticize and Lose the Holy Name We are in the midst of relating the history of Ajamila and the glories of chanting the holy names of the Lord. The result of Ajamila chanting the names of Lord Narayana was that he attained the association of the Visnudutas, who are associates of the Lord Himself, and inadvertently took diksa initiation from them. Ajamila was more fallen than fallen, but he did not disrespect anyone. www.purebhakti.com /lectures/lecture19940001.shtml   (2075 words)

Krsna Accepted Ajamila easily went to Vaikuntha without knowing in the beginning of the glories of harinama. Later, when Ajamila was dying, he saw the ferocious forms of the Yamadutas. Ajamila told the Visnudutas, "When you drove away the Yamadutas, I wanted to speak with you and touch your feet, but you disappeared. giriraja.org.au /even_krsna_accepted_a_guru.htm   (1382 words)

Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 6 Chapter 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) It was due to Ajamila's glorifying the holy name of the Supreme Lord that he was not punishable. As they were saying this, the Visnudutas released Ajamila from the ropes of the Yamadutas and left for their own abode. In summary, although the sinful Ajamila meant to call his son, the holy name of Lord Narayana, even though chanted in the preliminary stage, namabhasa, was able to give him liberation. www.vedabase.org /sb/6/2/summary/en2   (497 words)

VNN World - Chakra Poll Rigged? USA, Jun 30 (VNN) — There has long been a suspicion that the vote on CHAKRA for the debate between Adridharan and Ajamila das, which is completely controlled by the well-known neutral and honest Vipramukhya Swami has been rigged. This despite the fact that according to the rules, any expressions of support via reader letters etc where forbidden during the debate since it would distract from the debate, and simply serve to revitalise Ajamila from the expected thrashing he was going to get. Though the poll was not specifically mentioned in the rules, it has the same effect that the rule was designed to eliminate - distraction from the defeat that Ajamila is taking in the debate via the 'victory' he is achieving on the poll. www.vnn.org /world/WD9906/WD30-4199.html   (519 words)
