Narada Muni and the hunter
|
Imported quote 17682 When Narada Muni made the hunter a disciple, so he dragged him to the riverside, Ganges, and gave him a tulasi plant, that "You sit down here and chant Hare Krsna mantra. And the tulasi plant is here. You offer obeisances." Then he was very much anxious, because he was hunter. He has been stopped his main business, killing business. So he was thinking that "My Guru Maharaja may not cheat me. He has stopped my business. He has broken my bows and arrows. And now he has dragged me here to sit down and chant Hare Krsna." Then he asked, "What about my food, sir? I'll sit down here or..." Narada Muni assured him that "Don't bother. I'll send you your food. You sit down here. You chant, and I will send your food." So he was little doubtful. Anyway, this news, as soon as the news spread in the neighboring places that "A hunter has become a Vaisnava," so out of curiosity, people used to come to see the hunter-Vaisnava. The hunter... When one is Vaisnava, he's no longer a hunter or belonging to the any caste. But people used to say "the hunter-Vaisnava."
