Devotional Knowledge through Bandori

and now Ep.3: The Curse of O-Tae

O-Tae said: Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail.

O-Tae said: Why do you all laugh? I’m speaking the truth. Lemme tell you all the story of King Bharata, who had become a deer because he was too affectionate to a deer.

O-Tae: tell the story of King Bharata

Then everyone went to class and went back homes.

A month later.

O-Tae said: O Rimi-rin, fix your mind on the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna, who is the answer to all questions, the solution to all problem, and chant loudly "Narayana" – the only refuge of all living entities.

O lover of choco cornet, lemme tell you the story of Ajāmila, who had been rescued from the hands of the order carriers of Yamarāja – the God of Death, just by loudly calling the name Nārāyaṇa in fear.

O-Tae: tell the story of Ajāmila

Upon following the guidance of the great sage O-Tae, Rimi-rin had been rescued from being died and being reincanated as a choco cornet.

By hearing the story about Ajāmila, Rimi could understand the transcendental religious principles, which concern the relationship between the living being and the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Furthermore, Rimi heard glorification of the name, fame, qualities and pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, she thus became a perfectly pure devotee. She could then remember her past sinful activities, which she greatly regretted having performed.

Rimi said: Alas, being a servant of my tongue, how degraded I became! It is now clear that as a consequence of addicting to choco cornet, a sinful person like me must be eaten by choco cornets, which are now all reincanated as choco cornet eaters.

Was this a dream I saw, or was it reality? I saw fearsome choco cornets coming to swallow me. Where have they gone?

And where have the great sage O-Tae, who told me many transcendental stories, instructed me to chant the holy name Narayana to save me from being dragged down to the hellish region, gone?

I am such a sinful person, but since I have now gotten this opportunity, I must completely control my mind, life and senses and always engage in devotional service so that I may not fall again into the deep darkness and ignorance of material life.

Since then, Rimi-rin had became a devotee of Sri Krishna – the only refuge of all living entities. OwO
