SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 2 Text 13
dehino 'smin yatha dehe
kaumaram yauvanam jara
tatha dehantara-praptir
dhiras tatra na muhyati

dehinah--of the embodied; asmin--in this; yatha--as; dehe--in the body; kaumaram--boyhood; yauvanam--youth; jara--old age; tatha--similarly; deha-antara--of transference of the body; praptih--achievement; dhirah--the sober; tatra--thereupon; na--never; muhyati--is deluded.

TRANSLATION

As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.

JOURNAL:

At the bottom of the Gita Introduction page of this blog is a nice video lecture by Srila Prabhupada on this sloka. I also recommend Beyond Birth and Death, Prabhupada's in-depth study of reincarnation.

Here is a nice quote from today's sloka lecture (11-29-1968, Los Angeles) by Srila Prabhupada; But this mantra anyway you chant, neglectfully or properly, chant Hare Krishna and the result is there.
