10. How you say that even a cinema song slightly modified and diverted to the Lord can become the Gayathri Mantra?

[A cinema song like ‘Churaliya Hai’ is not having pious meaning. How can it be a Gayathri mantra?] You are mocking a person travelling on the donkey towards the goal. But you are travelling on a pig covered by silk cloth. Then how can you mock at the donkey? You sing the Astapadi song to please God, which has very much vulgar meaning in Sanskrit i.e., “Gopi Peena Payodhara Mardana Chanchala Karayuga Saali”. This means that Lord Krishna is pressing the breasts of Gopikas. Don’t you think that our cinema song has better-polished meaning than this? Because it is in Sanskrit and you don’t know its meaning, you sing it very loudly. Churaliya Hai Tumne Jo dilko – Nazar Nahi Churaana Hare (The word Sanam is replaced by the word Hare and the song is diverted to Lord Krishna). Therefore whatever may be the nature of the vehicle if it is turned towards God it is pious. Gopikas reached and pleased the Lord through romance as said in Bhagavatam. Since it is diverted to the Lord such romance is the pious spiritual path. An atheist may do social service but that is only a sinful service. Any quality diverted towards the Lord is good and any quality diverted towards the world is bad. You may know Vedic hymns but if you pray the Lord with Vedic hymns to achieve something in return from the Lord, you are travelling by a good horse in the opposite direction. You are becoming more and more far from the Lord. A pig or donkey towards the direction of Lord is better than a horse travelling in the opposite direction.
