prayer to Yamuna devi

[Paramananda das]

Garga Muni has given a beautiful prayer to Yamuna, one of the verses read" yah papa-pagkambu-kalagka-kutsitah kami kudhih satsu kalim karoti hi vrndavanam dhama dadati tasmai nadan-milindadi-kalinda-nandini yah - one who; papa - of sin; pagkambu - with the mud; kalagka-kutsitah - defiled; kami - lusty; kudhih - foolish; satsu - with the devotees; kalim - quarrel; karoti - does; hi - indeed; vrndavanam - Vrndavana; dhama - abode; dadati - does; tasmai - to him; nadat - humming; milinda - bees; adi - beginning with; kalinda-nandini - the Yamuna.

To a person that is lusty, foolish, polluted with many sins, and fond of quarreling with the devotees, Sri Yamuna, who is filled with many buzzing bees, gives residence in the transcendental abode of Goloka. Comment: This verse is not to condone having quarrels with devotees, but in the material world quarrels happens , but even if one quarrels with devotees , if one becomes fully surrendered to Yamuna devi one may still be able to go to Goloka Vrindavana.However pure devotees in Kali yuga not only take shelter of Yamuna devi , but of the Mahamantra...

Lust and fighting with devotees are obstacels to Bhakti , but Yamuna devi is so pure and transcedental she can help nullifie these vices
