Manvantara· The Manus and right dutySincere Seekers Cultivate Kṛṣṇa Consciousness
“In Tretā-yuga, those members of human society who are fixed in religiosity and are sincerely interested in achieving the Absolute Truth worship Lord Hari, who contains within Himself all the demigods. The Lord is worshiped by the rituals of sacrifice taught in the three Vedas.”
What the purport teaches
- In Tretā-yuga, people are thoroughly religious and faithfully seek the Absolute Truth through the Vedic injunctions. They worship Lord Hari, who contains within Himself all the demigods.
- Unlike the people of Satya-yuga, they are not automatically perfect. They are inclined to become perfect through performing Vedic sacrifice.
- Although society is not automatically Kṛṣṇa conscious, people are highly inclined to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. Therefore they strictly follow the Vedic injunctions for worship.
