2002 || Visit to Kungur || Russia #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

This multi-speaker transcript records Jaya Pataka Swami speaking during a 2002 visit to Kungur, Russia. He discusses the universality of religion, Krishna consciousness and bhakti practice (including chanting the holy name), the mercy of the Lord, metaphors of fruit/trees for spiritual progress, and practical encouragement to remain devoted amid worldly distractions.
Sam, that's. Thank you. It's. It.
Maybe if you tell me in advance what the questions are like.
Based.
On real spiritual teachings. The followers practice what their teachings say. That when they realize actually the results. It's not just teachings, but it's something that you actually experience. People want to experience the truth nowadays.
More than just hearing.
Somebody can practice it even while they're doing their normal work. They can practice even without giving up their present religion.
Some.
Some religions they restrict. They say that only.
Well, we consider that there's one God. He's the supreme Lord on everyone. And there are many different ways that have come throughout time, throughout different traditions and how to worship him and how to serve him. So we believe in the same one supreme Lord, one God. And we appreciate that people are serving God in any way, any bona fide way. Every religion says God is great and so we should love God. All Krishna consciousness is trying to do is tell. Give some more information from the ancient, the Indian scriptures. How God is great and how we can love him. So we're willing to cooperate with every religion and we think every religion. We can all learn something from each other and gain in our own faith to God. We had a world conference on synthesis of science and religion. And it was amazing how even science and religion are coming closer together. But then it came out that amongst the religions in the modern age there's very little communication. And that we need to have more of a universal communication amongst the religions also. So you were traveling all over the world.
So how do you find this particular place called.
Well, I find Yesterday I had a chance to go for a little walk. And I was seeing this hill and the cave and river. And I find it a very scenically beautiful place. Actually this is almost directly north, I think of India or parts of the world where I live. And somehow I felt also that I read in the Mahabhara that originally from India, they came over the Himalayas, they came north. And that was part of the Indian kingdom. So then I am thinking that how did. Many thousands of years ago, this was all part of one vast empire of India. And I see some of the. This is a temperate climate and some of the beautiful aspects.
Indian.
Somewhere in the world also. This is sound.
We have archives.
Okay. I'd like to see more of Congol. We haven't had a chance to go around. But what I've seen I like very much. I found that people here very friendly also. I hope that our Hare Krishna conference here will help to promote the glories of Kungal and to bring water tourists here and more people to see the natural beauty of the place.
And the people.
People out here are dressed in their Indian kind of traditional dress for the festival. But actually most of the people here are working in regular jobs. There's professors, teachers, lawyers, doctors. So when they go back they'll tell other people about how nice.
It.
Jam Sham Ram Lord.
Sa.
Om.
Finally.
Analyze the mercy of Chan Mahaprabhu. If you evaluate his mercy will become amazed. The Prabhupada explains that some people like to do everything by logic and mutual reason. Logically rationally understood. All right. Your logic to.
And your.
Your judgment. Your analysis to lunch. Mercy. How are so merciful you become. That's why it's quite amazing because in history there's a no one who's been so merciful. Except generally people. In order to get some kinds of spiritual blessings they had to do their ancestors and austerities and they had to do many different kinds of activities. Were they any of the religious scriptures in the world. You read about people who are blessed and you find that they had to do a lot of. They were tested many ways before they got the medicine. Whether it was Moses or Jesus. Everybody had to go through so many tests before they got and their followers in order to get blessings also had to surrender first. So there's no concept of mercy at all. Everything is my karma. Not so much the fact only the mercy of teaching people the knowledge that mercy not freeing them from karmas and freeing them from. He's giving out your mercy very freely.
No.
And that mercy is not even ordinary mercy.
Yeah.
The milestone.
It's not the salvation. Salvation plus something much closer.
Great.
He's giving out. It's quite an amazing. Because we don't know how great one worship is giving is. We may not take it very seriously.
Chicano serios that.
Really underlines. And see how great a thing he's giving and how easily he's giving it himself. The devotional tree of the Bhakti rickshaw. And he's also the gardener of the tree. He is the tree. Amazing things. But that's so difficult to understand that the supreme Lord is simultaneously everything. So he planted this tree in order to. To produce fruit. We were going and climbing somewhere and we were hungry. There are so many trees, but there was no fruit.
Of fruit.
Krishna famous father who wants that.
Garden.
My tree has produced so many fruits. How will I distribute them? And if I distribute them, how will I know? Everybody gets also concerned that everyone should get the fruit. Not every one should Be the private. Just like yesterday they distributing that we had cake. So he wanted to see everybody should get a piece of cake. You didn't want anyone to be depressed.
So.
Everybody got. Everyone got a piece of cake. At least everyone gets one that stays minimal.
So.
This is the thing. Like when you have a fruit.
You.
Know fruit has a season.
At a.
Certain time when the fruit is in season. Some cherries and raspberries, they're in season breaking school.
And.
Now the fruits and season here. So you have to get the fruit when it's so the Brahma by B. Purana. There was a prediction. There are mentions that Lord Krishna was in var. And one day all of the holy rivers came to see him. That means the presiding deities of the holy.
Rivers.
How many of you are bath take bath in the morning. How many did that this morning? Yes, I try to do everyone.
Us in war.
I know some of you are mystic yogis and you might fly to other planet. Only works up to 800,000 miles. You never know who comes to this place. Also said sometimes the devas are coming down from class. You rarely not see them. So all these holy rivers, they came to see Krishna. They were crying. So Krishna was very surprised. Why you all crying.
For?
And she was the spokesperson for everyone. My Lord, you have blessed us by bathing in our waters. By your touch we have become purified. We are very much anxious to have always your association and to serve you.
Understandable. Check for your chain resolution.
We can understand from the symptoms in the world that we are about to leave this universe. And when you leave, all the good qualities will leave with you. People will become very sinful.
Polluted.
And we cannot anyway live without their association. So you please take us with you. Please take us with you. You should know that association with the Vaishnava even a moment's association with the pure Vaishnava can purify one from all sins. Sometime when the body is unexpecting, they hear something, they hear something else. And that's talking about his devotees. So then he explained to them, you.
See.
There, after 5,000 years he's going to spread his chanting of the Holy name all over the world. And the pure chanting of the holy name is going to be chanted all over the world.
So.
And this is going to bring in a golden age for everyone in the world. Majority of people are going to become pure devotees. There'll be one camp. So this will last for 10,000 years. After this 10,000 years, super heavy Kung. They'll have rejected Krishna consciousness and really given to them. So what I want you to do, you tolerate the 5,000 years for people living in the world. After 5,000 years, then devotees start coming and living in their world. You'll know them because they'll be changing the holy name with smiles.
Like.
By changing the holy names that have become true like this, you enjoy the association for 10,000 years. After that, you can gradually go subterranean. In other words, looks like the river. So for practical purposes, all the rivers become dry.
It's set itself of sh.
Then you wait till I bring back Satya Yuga. Then you come back. So Srila Prabhupada, he stressed that now is the time. Just like fruit is right now is the time. Just at the beginning of this call the names. He says many of his followers.
Go.
To heavenly planets after they leave the world. Because some of the followers, they want to have a comfortable life. They've done devotional service, so they got a lot of credit. So they want a comfortable life. They can get heaven. But if you go be born in heaven, there may be 20,000, 50,000, 100,000. So if you have 50,000 years in.
Heaven.
And you come back down to.
Her.
Asking and you miss out on fruit. So we get this Krishna bhakti. So he said, what do you want this bhakti? You can enjoy a nice comfortable life. Give up your chanting and enjoy simple life. Why do you want to preach? It's so much hassle to preach. People may say, no, you can just do a little bit of puja and just have a comfortable life. You worked so hard for so many years now. Why do you want to work now? Take a vacation. You serve this now. Let this, okay? You hear this. Always different ideas. Sometime we're here to serve Krishna. You don't want to stop serving Krishna. We stop serving, okay? That developed that love for Krishna. Krishna, you see. So that means we need to keep watering our bhakti creeper. We water the bhakti creeper until it was right up to the spiritual world. Take shelter. Lord is the flowers and fruits. What is the flowers? What is the fruit? You know, the fruit of flower. Once you have that request fully, now we get the creeper. Our Lord Chan is giving us the creeper. Some people are already tree is very broad and some is smaller. But into water. I mean, we read in Bhagavatam, like sometimes. So they from there you can get liberation. But Martin, I like to go no more. What is this material illusion? How does it work? There was one Rishi. He was so much identified with Brahma.
Brahma. Brahma.
Discuss Brahma.
He wanted to understand what it was like to be a Brahma creator of the universe.
That's what I'm used to characterized.
I mean, can you imagine creating a whole universe and being in charge of every part of that universe and all the factors and it's like wow, what a super thing. We actually can't imagine temple or a family so overwhelming something that the whole universe is brain. He knows everything like that in the universe. So this Rishi, he was just obsessed. I want to see even for a moment what it's like to have the vision of. So he was doing worship of Brahman and trying to get his blessing. You could ask him for divorce into Krishna. You could ask against so many things, but this I want to see things from your point of view. I want to see. I want to have Robo. You don't have a rubber brain. I could give you this blessing but I don't know what will happen.
Years.
No, whatever the risk, I'll take it. I want to have. Okay, this date at this time at midnight, you're going to have.
Problem.
So just like of launching the Sputnik. We have the countdown before the countdown. All the scientists are busy getting everything ready. 24 hours, 12 hours, one hour before. Then finally you know, can you tell me he died. He took birth and brought a load. So many people have so many desires, so many things. So Maya is going to try to put so many ideas in your mind why you shouldn't be completely dedicated to serving Chattendi Maharaj date is open when you're going to go back to G. But the ticket is there and the Krishna knows when it's reserved. Okay, China somehow get the tickets from.
Israel Now Maya.
Years of that.
Subgraduated.
This is going to be like taking candy from a B. Sometime like the little child may have a 100 ruble load and someone so I don't know, here, take this candy and takes the 100 rubles. They don't know the hundred rubles. Do you have the prices fruit.
At.
Least you have the ticket for it. You have that, you know, you got the plant from it. You're just watering the plant somehow. They want to take this plant from you. They want to distract you from your real business. So many difficulties, so many unexpected tests may come to take the plan away from.
You.
Know, it's like some children have rich parents and they inherit themselves money and they know the value, how hard it was. Their parents worked so hard to earn.
That money in Afghan Premier.
So like that we get this mercy so easy by Lord Chania's kindness. Normally you have to work so hard with him. And then he can't get such a great mercy.
Forced.
But this is somehow taken away from us. So that's why we're together as a family. To help each other to remain Krishna consciousness. It's a wonderful bodies together here. Association.
Family.
Want to see them progress nicely and achieve the ripened fruit of Krishna. So this way we can be very successful in our life. We can be the most successful by just remaining faithful instructions. Any question?
Yes.
Lord. Thinking that the sun is virtual. Virtual is incarnation of Herodaksha vision.
The direction.
Some religions, if you surrender to the. If you follow the person's path, then they'll impute.
No, they are not session nuclear weapons.
The highest mercy they are offered is something also like emerging in the Brahmachoti or something. There's some kind of liberation.
I think this universality.
But old ones. Even if in some religion you can get loved your gathering and devotional services which they only available to completely surrender and follow the process ready forever long.
But it was more than a poet yesterday.
Only at the end of the process. If people didn't taste that spirituality.
In.
A very profound level. Two nights ago, when we were all chanting all night until about 2 in the morning. Everyone was feeling so much. So this mercy the Lord Chittan he's giving even without. Even at the Gritsky festival. Walking across the street, they chant the whole way. They dance with us. They say they never felt happier in their life. When there's a feast, the children want to eat the sweet first. When there are the adults, they roll through the vegetables of Jiu. Bring us the sweet first. We get the nectar first. But now we have to keep it. Because we don't lose it. Your people tell them why you do all this austerities, parents, everything. And you get some ecstasy. They say, anyway, enjoy my prayers.
There is people.
These people are happier than.
Sam it to you. It sa Sam Sa Jam Sam Ram Rami Sam. Because that Sam me Facebook It Sa you it they improvement. Yeah. Sam without Sam laugh it like.
No, but.
I sam.
With what you.
Would Sam Sa it Sam. Papa. Rash Sh it. It's Sam Sa Sam Ram Lash Sa it. You okay? Satan.
