Two points...

Verse 1.15.36 (Saci Suta Prji):

* Two imp points to take home
- understanding the transcendental disappearance of the Lord
- how to protect ourselves from the onslaught of maya, Kali
* Krishna came to this world on the request of the demigods and also disappeared in the same form once His pastimes were completed.
* BG 4, janma karma chame divyam....
* How we can protect ourselves in this Kaliyuga. SP comments: The influence of Kali can be enforced only upon those who are not fully developed in God consciousness. One can neutralize the effects of Kali by keeping oneself fully under the supreme care of the Personality of Godhead.
* By mercy of Siksa and Diksa Guru's.
* With this association, envy will not be there.
* Triple filter test of Socrates: Truth, Goodness and Usefulness
- Gramyakatha should be stopped therefore. Only Krishna katha passes all these tests.
* So many distractions in this world, how can we protect us?
- Using the incarnation of the Lord in the sound form. The holy name!
* Keeping Krishna in the center, constant association of devotees, serving devotees etc.
* SB 12.3.52: Whatever result was obtained by performing the sacrifices/deity worship/penances in the other 3 yugas, same can be obtained just by chanting of the holy name, which is the yuga dharma of this age.
