Narasimha Lila - Chapter 2 Section 5 - Question 1

While wandering in the forest, the hunter saw a pair of ___________ birds.

Narasimha Lila - Chapter 2 Section 5 - Question 2

What is the significance of the story of the kuliṅga birds?

A foolish living being thinks himself deathless and does not prepare for death.

One must lament for the dead so they can get next body quickly

Kulinga story was explained by Hiranyakashipu so it has no significance in a devotees life

Lamenting for the dead is not going to bring them back

Everyone's death is certain, so we better make our life meaningful

So-called scientists are making plans to live forever in the future, however, Yamarāja, will soon take them away from their business of so-called research.

Everyone has to die because everyone is fully under the control of material nature, yet everyone thinks that he is independent

Narasimha Lila - Chapter 2 Section 5 - Question 3

What is the duty of those advanced in knowledge in human society? Select all that applies

Human beings are meant to study these subject matters about soul, not to be absorbed in caring for the temporary body, which is sure to change.

Every human being should try to understand how the spirit soul can be happy and where he can attain an eternal, blissful life of knowledge.

To be happy in the material world by doing pious work and performing fruitive activities.

No one knows whether he will receive a human body again; there is no guarantee, for according to one’s work one may get any body, from that of a demigod to that of a dog.

To study the constitutional position of the imperishable soul and not waste the valuable time of human life in merely maintaining the body and not considering life’s real responsibility.

One’s endeavor in this material world, especially in this human form of life, should be to attain the association of Janārdana by going back home, back to Godhead.

To become grateful to the demigods and perform sacrifices for pleasing the demigods, with the aim to become happy in the material world

To aspire to go to higher planets either by performing sacrifices or by austerities

Narasimha Lila - Chapter 2 Section 6 - Question 4

What is śmaśāna-vairāgya?

The renounced attitude of the funeral workers by seeing dead bodies every day

When a relative dies one certainly becomes very much interested in philosophy, but when the funeral ceremony is over one again becomes attentive to materialism.

A person realizes the real value of life when one sees a relative die and attends the funeral, thereby, renounces the world in spiritual pursuits

The act of renouncing even the funeral rites as one no longer cares for the body

None

Narasimha Lila - Chapter 2 Section 6 - Question 5

Why devotee prefers distress over happiness? Choose the Best that applies

Narasimha Lila - Chapter 2 Section 5 - Question 6

Why are few scientists described in the Bhagavad-gītā as māyayāpahṛta jñānāḥ?

Because, for example, their scientific knowledge is so advanced that they consider the egg and the embryo has no life.

Because they are fools whose real knowledge has been taken away

Because they are very knowledgable and use their advanced knowledge for improving lives of people

Because they are not men of knowledge, but they pose as scientists and philosophers, although their so-called theoretical knowledge cannot produce practical results.
