Prabhupada, Los Angeles, December 26, 1973: The so-called yoga practice going on are simply bluff. Real yoga practice means one becomes so perfect that he will not die natural death. He will die when he likes. He will not be forced to die. When he thinks, “Now I am fully prepared. Now I shall leave this planet. I shall go to such and such planet, such and such loka,” he will be immediately transferred. That is yoga practice. So that practice is not possible. Therefore still in India you will find many yogis are there. They come to Kumbha-mela—that will be held in the month of February—from distant places. And you will see, just like young men, but some of them are three hundred years old, four hundred years old. Still. How they are preparing themself? They think, a yogi thinks that “Now I am not prepared. There may be mistake. I am not prepared to enter such and such planet.” So that concession is given there by the yogic practice. Just like you appear for an examination. Unless you are fully prepared, you are certain that “I must pass,” you do not appear. Similarly, the yogis, unless one thinks that “I am fully competent to enter such and such planet,” he does not give up this body.
But that practice may be successful for one or two persons. Generally, it is not successful. But this Krishna consciousness, bhakti- yoga system, is so easy and perfect that if you simply think of Krishna, and if you become perfect as to think of Krishna at the time of death, then immediately you are transferred to the Krishnaloka. Or any loka you like. Not only Krishnaloka, any loka. If you desire to go to heavenly planet, to Brahma planet, to Satyaloka, Maharloka, Janaloka… Many thousands and millions of planets are there. Or even if you want to go beyond this material world, to the Vaikuntha planet, Krishna planet, Goloka planet, you can go there. This is the science. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, yanti deva-vrata devan pitrn yanti pitr-vratah [Bg. 9.25].
