Jayapataka: Why did Krishna have all the demigod worship put in the Vedas?Prabhupada : Hm?Jayapataka: They put... Vyasadeva put all the demigod worship in the Vedas.Prabhupada: For the karmis. Ksipra bhavati... What is that? Kam kanta...Jayapataka : Karmanam siddhi.Prabhupada: Karmanam siddhi yajanti iha devata. Who is interested to take bhakti immediately? Nobody is interested.Jayapataka: They can get their material facilities from Krishna also.Prabhupada: Yes. That is recommended. First of all sastra recommends that if you want this thing you worship this deity, this deity. In this way, at last it is said that you can get anything if you worship Krishna. That is said.Akamah sarvo kama va moksa kama udara dhi tivrena bhakti-yogena. That is for the purpose that if he wants to take advantage, material benefit from Krishna, then Krishna bhajana will be there, gradually they will forget this material benefit. They will become pure devotee. Just like Dhruva Maharaja became. Svamin krtartho 'smi vara na yace.Morning WalkNovember 21st 1975Bombay
