Devahuti to Lord Kapila: "Oh, how glorious are they whose tongues are chanting Your holy name! Even if
born in the families of dog eaters, such persons are worshipable. Persons who chant the holy name of Your Lordship must have
executed all kinds of austerities and fire sacrifices and achieved all the good manners of the Aryans. To be chanting the
holy name of Your Lordship, they must have bathed at holy places of pilgrimage, studied the Vedas
and fulfilled everything required." (Shrimad-Bhagavatam 3.33.7)
Words of Wisdom for the Day "It
is stated in the Skanda Purana, kalau shudra sambavah,
that everyone in Kali-yuga is born a shudra. Therefore the caste system in India is outdated. It is not by birth that one
becomes a qualified brahmana. One can become greater than a brahmana by attentive chanting of the holy names of Krishna. The holy name of Krishna can elevate a person to the status of paramahamsa, even in this
lifetime."

| The Yogis Meditate on Radha Krishna in trance |
In previous ages yogis would enter the forest and live austere lives in meditation. Merging the incoming breath and the
outgoing breath, they would stop the breathing process and enter trance. This "Astanga Yoga" process could be performed
in secluded places in the forest, or even under water. By suspending the breathing process one could live for hundreds of
years. There are still yogis who live in the Himalayas and practice this form of yoga.
