LESSON-02
WHAT DO ALL RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD TEACH?
All religions teach love of God to be highest. Same God is
addressed as Krishna, as Father, as Allah, as Jehovah, and
so on, in different religions of the world, just as the same
sun is called by different names in different languages but
they indicate the same sun. And all the religions of the
world ultimately teach the mankind to engage in the
loving devotional service of the God. Any conclusion
otherthan this is simply cheating under the name of
religion.
WHAT IS THE RESULT OF SERVING KRISHNA?
Krishna guarantees that He quickly delivers His devotees
from the ocean of birth and death. Krishna comes like a
flash to protect His devotees when they are in troubleand
helplesslycry out His names for protection. The pastime

connection.
Gajendra’sdeliverance
When Elephant king Gajendra was in difficult situation,
he called out for Lord Vishnu. He surrendered to Lord
remembering Him. Lord Vishnu immediately came riding
on His swift carrier Garuda. He then killed the crocodile
who was torturingGajendra with the Sudarshnadisc and
thus He saved Gajendra.

was being insulted in the assembly of Kauravas, she was
piteouslycrying and asking help from all the elders in the

called out: He Govinda! He Gopal!Lord Krishna
immediately appeared on the scene invisible to all and He
supplied ample amount of sari to her and saved her from
her predicament.
