Now to the Chapter Eleventh of "Shree Rama-Gita".
"SHREE RAMA-GITA" IN MY LIBRARY - http://goo.gl/ra3s2X
I was truly impressed by this Chapter and the Division of the Karmins, the Bhaktas, the Jnanins and the Yogins!!!
I am going to write an article telling that the selling of the Vedas is the very enormous sin and prohibited in All Vaishnava Samhitas and Puranas.
Bhagavan Shree Rama tells in "Shree Rama-Gita" that you can recognize Tamasika-"bhaktas" by their selling in the Vaishnava Items.
As you know, we are in Kali-Yuga now and some people try to earn money by selling Vaishnava items (Books, Murtis, asking money for "Bhakti" seminars and etc.)
Such the activity is totally prohibited in Shrutis and especially in Vaishnava-Samhitas and Vaishnava-Puranas.
So, once you see the "person" (better tell, stupid animal or imbecile) who sells in Bhakti-seminars, the translations of Bhakti-Granthas, Murtis, tourist trips to Vaishnava Tirthas, you can just call him tamasika impostor and tell him that he will go to the hell after the death (or will live in hell even during this life, rotting from cancer or something like this) and cite the Verses 11.15-16 from "Shree Rama-Gita" (see below).
"Shree Rama-Gita" is not the only Pramana which imposes the ban on selling in everything connected with Vaishnava Bhakti.
"Shree Varaha-Purana" contains the extensive descriptions of punishments for those animals who sell in Vaishnava Items in Kali-Yuga.
To speak in very sincere and candid way, Bhakti-Yoga is not designated for the poor or people with bad karma, who just try to survive in Kali-Yuga world.
Bhakti-Yoga is for the rich only and it demands the enormous adhikar, extremely flawless karma and financial resouces for Pujas, education and all the Angas connected with Bhakti-Yoga...
"SHREE RAMA-GITA", CHAPTER XI
Hanuman said : O Teacher of teachers ! O Illustrious Ramachandra ! O Ocean of kindness ! What am I to say regarding your affection towards your devotees ? It is beyond my power of description. (1)
On account of such affection alone Thou art so very kind and extremely interested in rescuing me from being drowned thus in this shoreless ocean of Samsara. (2)
There are the famous Tri-gunas (three gunas)—the Sattva, the Rajas, and the Tamas. There are also (four kinds of spiritual people) the Karmins, the Bhaktas, the Jnanins and the Yogins. (3)
O Chief of the Raghus! Tell me the nature of these four (kinds of people) affected by Sattva and other gunas and the correspond- ing results produced by their being so affected. (4)
BHAGAVAN SHREE RAMA SAID:
[SATTVIKA KARMINS]
Karmins in whom Sattva predominates, and who are free from desires, perform the Nitya Karmas enjoined by the S'rutis and Smritis, and thereby please Me, the all pervading Janardana. (5)
They gradually become purified, and through the path of Vedanta reach Me, the Intelligent, Blissful and Eternal Paramatman. (6)
[RAJASA KARMINS]
Others who are affected by Rajoguna, and who are desirous of obtaining heaven, perform tne Yagas and other Karmas mentioned in the S'rutis for propitiating Indra and other gods. (7)
They enjoy the highest pleasures in heaven together with the Devas, and when the good effects of such Karmas are exhausted, they are surely born again in this world. (8)
[TAMASA KARMINS]
Others affected by Tamoguna are ever bent upon performing Kamya Karmas alone, and are always devoted to supporting their families with the money earned by means of such Karmas. (9)
They go (after death) to the terrible hells protected by Chitragupta and others and thereafter take a downward course and descend to the wombs of dogs, etc. (i. e., degrade themselves to the lives of dogs, etc.). (10)
[SATTVIKA BHAKTAS]
Bhaktas who are endowed with Sattva and who are free from desires, adore Me The Vishnu holding in His Hands the Conch, the Discus, and the Club, by meditations and other means proclaimed in the Srutis. (11)
They are brought by My attendants to My world. There, obtaining the knowledge of Self from Me, they, in due course, reach That, My Supreme Seat, along with Me. (12)
[RAJASA BHAKTAS]
Those other Bhaktas in whom Rajoguna predominates, with their several disciples, adore Me Hari externally in Images, by Archanas (adoring Them with flowers), and in several other ways. (13)
They reach My world (Vaikuntha), enjoy such pleasures as are even rare to Brahma and others, and are born again in very pure brahmana families. (14)
[TAMASA BHAKTAS]
Other Bhaktas in whom Tamoguna predominates, put upon themselves the garb of Bhaktas, and being devoid of the Acharas enjoined by the Srutis, worship Me for the sake of money, etc. (15)
They, being on a par with the vulgar people, go to hell, and thereafter live the lives of dogs, etc., for their having committed sins from behind the screen. (16)
[SATTVIKA JNANINS]
Jnanins who are Sattvikas endowed with Vairagya and other good qualities, who meditate on the identity of the Self and Brahman, who shine with the Acharas pertaining to their respective castes and orders of life, be they householders, Sanyasins, or others, (they) reach My Loka difficult to be attained, and with Me, in the end, reach That, My Supreme Seat. (17-18)
[RAJASA JNANINS]
Those Jnanins in whom Rajoguna predominates are mentally addicted to Samsara, and they, surrounded by their disciples, occasionally contemplate on the meanings of S'rutis. (19)
They too reach My Loka, enjoy all the great pleasures there, and are born again to be freed instantly with the help of their former Vasanas. (20)
[TAMASA JNANINS]
Those other Jnanins in whom Tamoguna predominates, being addicted to sensual pleasures, teach Sudras and others the meanings of Vedas for the sake of money. (21)
They also go to the most horrible hell, Raurava, and are, thereafter, mostly born as dogs, etc. for having misused the Vedas. (22)
[SATTVIKA YOGINS]
Those yogins in whom Sattvaguna predominates, who always practise Nididhyasana (or abstract meditation), who are ever delighted because of their having gained the experience of the Self, and who are entirely free from desires, (such people) when their Prarabdhas end, and their bodies (consequently) fall, (they), without Utkranti (or the agonies of the last moment), etc, reach That, My Supreme Seat, established by all the Vedanta. (23 & 24)
[RAJASA YOGINS]
Those other yogins who have a Rajoguna nature, who, on account of meditations practised in company with others, have not succeeded in bringing about the destruction of their mind, etc., and whose minds are perplexed at not having realised (Atman) the object of their Dhyana, undergo the greatest miseries resulting from Prarabdha. Then, leaving this body at death (after having undergone Utkranti or agonies), they reach My Supreme Goal. (25 & 26.)
[TAMASA YOGINS]
Those Yogins in whom Tamoguna predominates, by showing extreme neglect to Brahma-Vidyi, will be vexed by (Abhanavarana) the screen that keeps them off from the light of A'tman, and will be eager to acquire anima and other siddhis or superhuman powers. (27)
By their aversion to forbidden Acharas, they will reach My Loka, enjoy the highest pleasures there, and then will reach Me after being born once more on this earth. (28)
