Ram Sam K Hari Hari Hari Avidyamana Ra Maya also Yah. The bot is fighting a sad moon spiritual. And now into a song. But there will be a sound of a large suprema. So this is leading up to the renunciation of Guru Maharaj. He's been a grihasta. He's been a king. He's been ruling for 16,016,000 years of friends. Now he's considering that time he retire and go to some place where he can perform tapasyas and meditate on the Supreme Court without distraction. So you can see that all this material world is like some kind of a mirage or kind of just like you build a castle in the sand. After some time, the wave washes it away. We see a movie, seems real, but it's only a reflection of light. Just like if you're watching a film about a jungle scene, a single quantum. There was a tiger in the jungle, but then actually from the zoo, a real tiger had escaped and walked on the stage of a cinema. So the spiritual world is like the real tiger, and the material world is like being moving. This is those who are. Those who come down from the spiritual world to deliver us. They're living in the spiritual world, but even while they're visible here in this world, so in this way, they are completely in the spiritual world. Only they're blessed. No, that's the baba. It's stone. And D. Maharaj is also like that because he dedicated his whole life to serving Krishna. But he felt that from his own point of view, he felt he had to do so many material things as a king. Now he wanted to simply do devotional activities directly. Sometimes in our devotional service, we have to do many things, manage temples, manage, deal with legal problems. So Prabhupada, he was also managing the worldwide Krishna consciousness movement, establishing temples, farms, schools. The provost wanted to see everybody had some devotion, devotional service. This was his service for all of us. There are many temples, many Vaishnavas in the world, but usually they don't have so much. They don't create so many different kind of services for their devotees. So people are very much locked and sheltered. Some are trying to just get followers by giving instant initiations, but afterwards they don't train them or care for them. So he organized a daily program to include all the essential aspects Rupert Goswami is teaching. We get up in the morning, we have our. And then we have our japa period. Sometimes some devotees have been really worshipped at that time. As some are gathering the flowers, some are Cooking the offerings. Then after that Guru Puja we have Bhagavatam class. Then after class we have to can we do our devotional service during the day everybody stays busy. This is specialty of ISKCON is that everyone always is active in different emotional services, doing different services. And some are going out and doing their daily work. Because they work outside, they attend the temple program. Those two spiritual programs plus they also do some family read the scriptures, don't die. So for the devotees, his whole life is a type of after we take our shower, we put on our tila. Devotees who are able to understand the philosophy nicely after getting their first initiation then they should also get the second initiation eventually. And they can also increase their devotional services in more ways become closer to the spiritual master he was so this ar is recommended in the 12th chapter Bhagavad Gita. One should serve Krishna by practicing. There are different activities. These practices are very purifying. In the beginning it may be like mechanical because one hasn't developed a taste here. Okay. The so called by the mercy of Chitanya Mahapu by chanting and hearing and serving and gradually one starts to develop the faith called Wui. Then devotion service becomes very easy. Then you become very attached to Krishna. You can't think of living without Krishna. One time there was a devotee in the temple in Montreal where I was living in Canada. The parents came to see him. Then the parents tricked him and took him near the Norway. Now we're gonna take you. They are pulling and pulling him up to the door. He grabbed, grabbed on the handle of the door. The mother and father are pulling on his feet. This is a symptom of being attached. Of course now in Brazil and Russia and many places the whole family comes. So the whole family has been Krishna. So there's everyone is pulling each other to Krishna. So we recommend that everybody should do this practice of devotional service. Their childhood was the school teacher. He had his own school. He was teaching the best students. It was the most famous Sanskrit school in the and when his students would come to school, he insisted they all had to come wearing why you are not having tilak? You are coming here to study Sanskrit. That means you have to practice for medical standard. You have to take your bath in the morning initiation called. He said you must not have done your pujas. Maybe you didn't even take a bath. See the forehead of a devoli without Hila is like seeing a cremation. God, cremation. Please go back home, put on your do your pujas. Take your guys put in your table. He didn't. Maybe he didn't space out, but really give him the sauce. After that nobody would come without wearing their tila. He insisted everyone has to do the Saturday. The tea light makes our body. A gentle Krishna is in the center of the temple. So do you bring dirty things in your temple and then inside the temple? Meat, fish, eggs, onions, dirty things in the tattoo. See. Oh no. So like that then you had bodies a temple. You don't want to bring the dirty things into your body. Should only do holy things with divine. So like this devotees, they're always living a pure life. So when they meet people, people also get get some blessings just by seeing them of sickness. Krishna in Brahma by Bharat Purana. He was glorifying the devotees. See devotees have their association. They get purified in so many sins. To whom did he say this? The holy rivers came to see Krishna in Varga. They were crying. So Krishna was wondering why they're all coming here crying. Because we know you're going to leave us soon. We are feeling so much separation already. Please take us with you. You gave us so much mercy. Bathing in our waters, touching us with the Son. So you're so blessed. But now you're going to leave this world very soon and will be left without you. Me too. There's a problem not and many simple people will start to bathe in our waters. And Kali Yuga will start. We're going to get overwhelmed with sin. We'll be dumping their sins in us. And we'll get contaminated and. And it'll be very horrible. Don't let us brought here this material world of illusion. And Krishna smiled at them. Krishna swaddy prayers. Don't worry. After 5,000 years a great devotee is going to come. He's going to spread the holy name all over the world. All over the world. The whole world is going to become one cast. Everyone's going to be at the glory of of the small business. My personal fellow. It has Ganges water in it. So you evacuate. You take a capacity. How could you get the gun? And sometimes the ladies are just putting in the forehead. That's not putting on the 12 parts of the body. Put all the flow places. It's not possible. At least in the forehead of the temple. But if you can't put water, you have to work outside. So Lord Krishna said, don't worry that this period of Lord is going to spread the holy name. Everyone will become devotees. Krishna. Thousands and thousands of devotees. Millions of devotees. All over the world. And they're going to be chanting the holy names, you know, the sincere devouring and who's chanting the holy names to get purified from the sins. Anyone who chants the holy name has been purified. And you know, seeing them, seeing their tilak, all these things are very purified. Actually, the first time I saw devotees with tilak, it was a very amazing experience for me. I was in San Francisco in the Golden Gate Park. There was some big festival going on. I was there. One of the young people seeing the festival. You know, last time I heard there was a group of people wearing sheets of different colors. I didn't know whether they are from Arabia or where they are from. They look like they're from some other planet. Then I walk close to getting closer to them just to see what they're doing. And one girl looked at me, she had this mark on her forehead. I didn't know what it was. When I saw that all the hairs of my body stood on their end. The electrical shock on my back, I felt just like you see those pictures of a cat when he sees a ghost. I became frightened like anything. The king. I ran as fast as I could from that place. I ran for maybe 2km. My intelligence was asking, why are you running? What's going on here? What was that we saw? Why did this create this reaction? I went back singing sheets and wearing bed sheets. See. So. Oh, those are Har Krishnas. Ah, those Har Krishnas. They have a temple here. I tried to find out the temple. I was looking and looking, but it was hard to find. So the part of Quran it says that this, this is the mark that they wear in the spiritual world. And just by seeing it, it reminds us of m. The sin is made for Vela. It actually purifies us from so many sins. In the first purifical. Later I asked the Prophet what was the reason why different things were happening to me. The but like this, I. I know that the steel, all these things, we may take it for granted, but they have got some very strong. And the closer one is to Mr. The more go through all kinds of covenants. They cut through all kinds of covenants. He brought all this culture to the west. He brought the holy name to the west, just as Krishna predicted. Krishna told the holy rivers why he was smiling at them. He said, For 5,000 years you tolerate the sins of people bathing in you. Because after 5,000 years, when all these devotees are there, they're going to come and bathe in your waters. They're Going to go to India and bathe in your holy waters. And they'll be chanting the holy names. You can recognize them because they'll be chanting when the river is there, also pure devotees. And they like it when the devotees are bathing in their waters. So then Lord Krishna said for 10,000 years will be this golden age. Then after that Kali will start will get heavy again. Very heavy. It'll become dark color. Very offensive. So I rejected Krishna consciousness. We go totally for worst kind of mind. So now we have 10,000 years to enjoy the. This is just the beginning of the Krishna practice. This is the twilight sun rising. We have to bring up the sun faster. The sun is coming up. But Kali is putting some clouds so that the sunlight won't shine. We have to increase the sun effect and increase the preaching so that more and more people get the mercy. So one of the things that Kali does is send representatives who preach against preaching. Don't preach. Don't preach. Become Sahaji. Just sit and talk about Krishna, about Rasa Leela. You don't have to control your senses. You don't have to chant. Just little baby chair talk about Krishna Prem all the time. Take instant initiation and don't preach. It's only for iskcon other. If you preach, the whole world's going to become Krishna conscious. Then we can really sit and talk about Krishna. How are we going to enjoy Krishna consciousness when we see everybody else is writing and illusion. The blessed Srila Prabhupada. He's so special. We're so fortunate to be his followers. Once we take the initiation in Prabhupada's movement, we are dedicated to following his teachings, his vision. It's very important. Once you take initiation then you also you have you think about the remain in this succession. It's very offensive to leave the succession once you take an initiation. In fact, if you reject the bona fide discipline succession then you won't get it again. For 10,000 10 million births. There was one devotee in Bertala. He took a initiation from some sanction group outside. He became right up offensive criticizing this gun. And then Prabhupada said that you won't get another one of my guru for 100,000. Compiled guru sending 100,000 so heavy 10 million. I just reduced it to 100,000. It is very important that we take our vows very seriously. We try to help. No. But he wants to see the whole world become Krishna conscious. He has this burning desire. Vaishnavas. Once somebody is initiated by bona t spiritual Master, they don't the other Vaishnavas don't reinitiate them. That's very offensive actually to the whole discipline succession. It's like if somebody is so then if somebody's listened by a Vaishnava and they renish it means you're saying well, we don't respect you as a Vaishnava. So it's actually offensive to Prabhupada and all the siblings. The void is all this kind of people who are trying to re initiate other people. We have association of the Ghoriya Vaishnavas and everybody agrees that one should not achieve the disciples of another group within our meetings everybody came and complained about one process. They don't respect anybody. So therefore any groups have told their power not to go and listen to this. And also because of this also warning the Lord is not to listen to the not to go and listen to the Ayan Mirage because he does this reinitiation doesn't respect anybody. He used to be seemed to be a friend of his at that time he would tell everybody stay in this kind of but now he's changed and he's not like that anymore. I had some disciples like Stephanie like a Sikhsha guru and he used to glorify me at this time. But then even though I I did that he reinitiated in any so then after that I had to tell all the scientists to avoid him because you don't have any respect. Actually it's a big obstacle for the unification on the corporate amongst the all able to work together more cooperatively. We could help to preach the message Just like Dhruva Maharaj end of his life he he renouncing everything Prophets say there are some spiritual master preaches his whole life but then the very end of life just before dying then he can go into some seclusion and just prepare himself to leave his body. So Prabhupada when he was in Vrindavan and when he was sick in 1977 and he told us and now I can't travel anymore. Now this is my dear. Then we were coming in his room and we were chanting very soft mantras. George Harrison when festival and park is a festival lament a it spiritual in different ways For Savage Let me talk the animal. Can you repeat Prabhu? We cannot listen whether this is onion or garlic or related in the same family they're going to be a large to see the biological connection. But any kind of onions and garlic in its different form we don't take it. I see. Even I mean Hindu dharma they don't use it at all in any of the daily versions even to Shiva Hindu there is no wizard so many Hindus use that in their own diet that actually creates in the body it creates increases one's education it's a kind of a cursed vegetable for there's a curse of being a non veg vegetable this in Manipur they have something that looks like it doesn't taste like but it comes from another it's a juice of a plant leaves they have the same kind of leaves they just they don't have a big bowel ice it makes me think it's the same family that's just my fear I wouldn't take it unless I unless I had some more clear evidence you know I'm here this morning to give the I don't know tell thank you for watching our videos Be sure to subscribe to our channel we publish new videos every day and don't forget to like and share our channel.
