What Is Your Duty Before Death? || Srila Prabhupāda | SB 2.01.01 | EP-42

In this powerful lecture on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.1.1, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains why Mahārāja Parīkṣit’s question — “What is the duty of a man who is about to die?” — is the most glorious and beneficial question for all humanity. We are constantly busy in questioning and hearing about temporary things — money, career, politics, pleasure. But the real intelligent question is: “What should I do now, before death comes?” Prabhupāda explains: The urgency of remembering Kṛṣṇa Why hearing about Kṛṣṇa is the supreme duty The importance of constant Bhāgavatam study (not just 7 days) How chanting cleanses the heart (ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam) Why devotional service is higher than even liberation This lecture reminds us that death can come at any moment — and therefore hearing and chanting about Kṛṣṇa must begin now. ✨ The message is universal. ✨ It is loka-hitam — beneficial for the whole world. ⏳ Timestamps 00:00 – Opening chanting (Jaya Rādhā-Mādhava & SB 2.1.1) 02:58 – The most glorious question: “What should one do before death?” 06:40 – Why Parīkṣit Mahārāja’s inquiry is intelligent 10:15 – The power of hearing (śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ) 15:30 – Only chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa works in Kali-yuga 20:45 – Birth in good family = result of past piety 28:00 – Transmigration of the soul explained (Bg 2.13) 34:20 – Fearlessness through surrender to Kṛṣṇa 40:10 – Nityaṁ Bhāgavata-sevayā (not just 7-day Bhāgavata) 46:50 – Cleansing the heart: Ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam 52:30 – Bhakti is higher than mukti 58:00 – Spread Bhāgavatam for loka-hitam End – Final instructions and conclusion 🔎 Key Reflections ✅ The most intelligent question is: What is my duty before death? ✅ Death is certain — timing is not. Therefore begin chanting now. ✅ Hearing about Kṛṣṇa is the supreme subject matter of life. ✅ Bhāgavatam should be studied daily (nityaṁ), not as a ritual. ✅ We are not this body — cleansing this misunderstanding is the first step. ✅ Bhakti is higher than liberation. A devotee does not even desire mukti. ✅ The message of Bhāgavatam is for the whole world — loka-hitam. ✨ Connect with Gurupadashraya and deepen your spiritual journey: 📿 WhatsApp Community https://chat.whatsapp.com/KvT5zuNjyfr... 📿 WhatsApp Broadcast Channel https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbBw... 📿 Telegram Channel https://t.me/gurupadashraya 📖 Join and stay connected with Guru and Shastra 📖 Related Scriptures: Srimad-Bhagavatam, Bhagavad-gita, Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu #srilaprabhupada #lectures #harekrishna #iskcon #harekrishnamovement #krishna #bhagavadgita #bhagavatam #bhagavatamclass #srimadbhagavatam #katha #guru #guruji #acharya #srilaprabhupadalectures #srilaprabhupada #lectures #harekrishna #iskcon #harekrishnamovement #krishna #bhagavadgita #bhagavatam #bhagavatamclass #srimadbhagavatam #katha #guru #guruji #acharya #srilaprabhupadalectures The Acharya, Srila Prabhupada Srila Prabhupada Lectures Srila Prabhupada Lectures in Hindi Srila Prabhupada Lectures in English Srila Prabhupada Festival Lectures Srila Prabhupada Bhagavad Gita Lectures Srila Prabhupada Bhagavatam Lectures Srila Prabhupada Srimad Bhagavatam Lectures Srila Prabhupada Chaitanya Charitamrita Lectures Srila Prabhupada Nector of Devotion Lectures Prabhupada Lectures, Acharya, Bhagavad Gita As It Is
