SA.

Oh yeah, here. Chapter 29. That's where the microwave. In other words, he justified in the death throes and the bodily functions are going haywire. At this moment he's remembering all his near and dear ones. It says the father is naturally attached to the daughter. So first he's remembering his daughters and sons, grandsons, daughters in law. In the patriarchal system which is normally practiced in most parts of India everywhere except for Kerala, the daughter goes to the house of the bridegroom. And at the time of the fire sacrifice, her family karmas are transferred over from the parents to the husbands and their family. So she becomes like a member of the husband's family and in a joint kind of Hindu family situation. Many times when I go preaching in the village and there they still live joint. They all have father and mother and they have like clusters of grass huts and they all live around.

And.

Remember, one disciple brought out and said, this is, you know, introduce this family. This is my wife. This is my eldest son. This is the eldest daughter in law. This is the second son. This is the second daughter in law. Here there's five kids. This is the third son and the third daughter in law. And one of our daughters is already married. But she's visiting here because you're here. So she's come from her family, this gigantic clan. One family I went to had 55 members. But somehow, for some reason in a village, it's still quite popular. But in the cities it's gradually decreased. Some of them, Rajivan can say, you know, some big families are still together. But the government has taxed you more if you're a joint big family than if you're many small families. So for taxation reasons, many families have broken up. But you could see that there was fire unity there amongst all these family members. And especially if they are ka conscious, then they had a whole tradition that they would follow. So here it's kind of representing this verse how Puranjana is remembering all of his bear and gear ones.

And.

Daughters in law, they serve their father in law just like they would serve their father. All these kind of very near and dear relations. When jamais. When jamais come home, that means the son in law, he's treated like a royal guest because he's protecting the daughter who's the most dear beloved. Dear beloved daughter. If someone has a daughter, what can be more dear than one's son or daughter? So here this boy, man, son in law is maintaining the daughter protect him. So they make him feel very.

Ram, Ram Sam Sa.

He should try to endow himself with meekness, mercy, tolerance, pridelessness and respect for all living entities. The preaching of the Name shall be perform with kol and kartal. You know what kol means? Nidjanga, kartel and mandal. Accompanied by favorable discussion and public lectures, all at the time of chanting. One may dance and extend ecstasy. It's allowed. The singing of the glories of the Holy Name and dancing in ecstasy should correspond to the devotees spontaneous emotion. And not just according to the tempo. Deep and tuned. One should avoid excessive preoccupation with musical tune and beat. The music and tune should have an effect on the hearts of the listeners. Similar to the action of borax and the melting of gold. It is good to express one's feelings for the Lord to song and dance according to one's natural rising of transcendental emotions. The behavior of irreligious people in displaying these emotions is not required. It should be avoided. So Bhakti Vinod Thakur, he said many.

Things.

In his one paragraph. We should chant the Holy Name as much as we can. It's a very good prescription. Watch Tanya Sad Kirtaniya Sadahadi. Always chant. So here Bhakti Vinod Thakur is explaining. That means we should chant as much as we can, if feasible always, and have a spontaneous affection for.

If we.

Are able to spontaneously feel affection for the chanting, that's very good. It's something that develops in devotees naturally. This is in comparison. We find of course that there are some people who mechanically chant and simply do it.

That.

A rule or regulation. So that won't be as good.

As.

If we have developed a natural affection for it. But here also it states how we should introduce ourselves. It says everyone is a humble servant of the Panchata. Introduce oneself as a humble servant. Most humble servantship. Tattva is so great. If we think about their great qualities, it's not hard to be.

Humble.

The lack of humility comes when we have an overestimation about our worth. What we really want to be is Nimitama. We want to be instruments in the hands of the Panchata. Therefore, even though we are not worthy of it. So by one presenting as a very most humble representative of the Panchatatva.

Hoping.

To invoke the Lord's mercy that the Lordship's mercy would the Lord mercy would flow through the devotion. One should endow himself with good qualities. What are these good qualities? Meekness. Time of death. He said we have to leave our bodies. At that time the mind Remains very attached body has been serving as a good step to this body. We've enjoyed so much sense gratification. We can remember all the good times we had to some people that are very unhappy to leave their bodies. For some people, they're so sick or so they want even to do voluntary euthanasia to take their life suicide. But mostly people, they don't want to leave their bodies. So this example is given Puranjana who has been agreeing. He has not been a Ka conscious householder who's doing everything for the pleasure of Ka together with his Ka conscious wife. He's an ordinary kind of materialistic family man who simply engaging in his material.

Activity.

Trying to enjoy life.

Sam Sa. Ram Sa. I'm Ra Sa. All right, Chris. Yeah.

This environment was very peaceful. It was a very peaceful environment. And sometimes Krishna itself would come and bless you.

Then.

Again, dry Yuga Sal. So just like for every yoga, there's a different process. This also one has spiritual master slightly adjust details about what service or what way someone can take. And it's put over the soul. In order to remind us of our eternal nature. We need to regularly chant Hare Ka on a daily basis. We need to hear the Bhagavad Katha every. Every day. The son of Bhagavana says Bhagavata Nitya Sevaya. All kinds of dirt from the heart is cleared away. By regularly hearing the Shiva. Bhagavatai was chanting very nice. So by this chanting it also changed the dark from the marginal fences away the dust from the heart. So the Prabhupada, he just distributed that the holy name to everyone. And by chanting the holy name, people could get the change in their lives. How many of you chant Chakra later.

Person?

I hope you all realize.

We were.

Discussing how Lord Chaitanya was traveling in South India. Then finally when he came back.

It.

Was like the devotees got their life back. They were so happy. The Mojitan had returned.

And.

Paramanandapuri, he had also been traveling in North India and he was in Navadvi. Then he heard that Chaitanya Mahbur had come back from Saudi. He was in Jagannath. So then all the devotees in Bengal were getting ready to come down to see Lord Paramanandapuri couldn't wait. He was just too eager. He was Sannyasi. Didn't have to, you know, wait for so many arrangements. But immediately walked to Jagannath Puri and reached him before the, you know, much before the others. So he's the Godbrother of Lord Chaitanya's guru. So Lord Chaitanya treated him like Buddhist respect, offered his obeisances par 140 embraced.

Him.

And both were very ecstatic. The Lord Chaitanya said, please, now I returned here, I will please stay here with me. He said, actually I came here just to see you. I was very eager to see you. So I don't mind to stay here enjoying Jagannath Puri with you. So then Lord Chaitanya organized a place for him in the chant and the Kashi Mitra's Ashram which is same Ashram which then was taken. He also organized one Brahmachari servant for him, Naramanandar Puri. Later he also had his own ashram behind the Jagannath Puri temple. Have you seen this ashram? Now he wanted to. When he was building his new ashram, he wanted to have a well. So he dug that well. But there the problem is it's very close to the ocean. So often the well water comes out salty. So one has to be very fortunate to get a sweet water well. So he dug it. They tested the water as a salt. So he was feeling quite sad. How will he worship his deity? How will he worship Krishna? The salt. Then Lord Chaitanya came by with his Kirta and Faji and said, how is your well water? A little salt. But the Lord Chaitanya he came and he invoked Ganga, Chambuna, Saraswati, all the holy rivers and brought them all into that well. He told all the devotees to chant and kirtan around the well seven times. So they went around the well chanting. And then after he tested the water, guess what the water tastes. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. We had a very loving relationship with so many different people. One devoting he wears during one one.

Way.

I dealt with another devotee. You go every day to the Grihasta's house to take Prasad. I was with Srila Prabhupada once in Bombay. When he went. He went to Gujarati family to take Prasad. So I was there and insisting she was no. So the Srila Prabhupada was facing the Grand. He said, actually Grihastas are the mothers and fathers of society. And we Sanyasis are the children. Baba is 80 years and there may be 40. But he's saying that he's the child and they're the parents. Because the Astras are feeding and taking care of the Sannyasis overlapped. So materially you are so like Srila Prabhupada was speaking so many bearing drink PR to them. Then he said, actually I don't have any androtrain. But your prasada smells so good. But even I don't have appetite. But having appetite. So the proverb took prasad after chanting the Sanskrit prayers for shadow. So like that Saharba also was very encouraging. Many times you go to people's homes and take Masada or visit their home. And if you have proper desserts at their house. How many would like the centennial in Malaysia? Diwali. Diwali is the day everybody visits everybody's homes. We took PR and went to everyone's home. The centennial here. So like, each one of you has got a personal relationship with Chester. Every one of you has a personal relationship with Krishna. It's like when Krishna went to Dwarka and he got off his chariot. He went off simultaneously expanded himself into 16,108 Krishnas. And he went into each of the palaces at the same time. And just to confirm that Rajamuni went around flying from each palace to the name and looking in the windows, seeing what's going on.

And.

He found that in every palace Krishna was doing something different. In one palace he's playing with the kids. Other palace he is preaching to his wife, his queen. Other palace are playing chess. Other palace he's talking to some minister, sending out a minister for some purpose, acting like king. Some Alice is joking, some Alice is taking asylum.

Every.

Alice is doing something.

There's.

Muni is a great mystic. He knows how to expand himself into 10 different forms. Says that perfected yogis can do this right? Now we have not heard of anyone capable of doing that. But in the Vedas and mentions that it's one of the siddhis, the protective yogi. But Radha Muni see, if a yogi does that, he still has only one consciousness. He may have 10 bodies, but one consciousness. If you pitch one of the bodies all the time, I'll do it. Only one cpu, ten workstations for those who don't computer. One soul is there for this one consciousness. So all the 10 will be feeling the same emotion. But he is amazing how every balanced Krishna is feeling a different emotion. So then he can realize that this being of God is actually unlimited. He can be there for every circumstance, for every person and be exactly reciprocating with his devotees simultaneously. Now who can be everything to everyone? Often we've heard look at you. Can't be everything for everyone. I can't be everything for everyone. Very common statement with Krishna it can be what everyone needs. For every devotee you can reciprocate. Even if a demon wants to fight with Krishna, he can also fight. If someone wants him as a child, he can be that child. As a friend, as a husband, as lady. He means of master. According to their desire qualification, he can reciprocate.

Whatever.

We hope that all of you devotees and this auspicious face evil. Just like that we'll go deeper and deeper into your own Ka consciousness. In Mayapur we had this year a very wonderful festival. It's our 30th anniversary festival.

And.

There was a lot of propaganda, a lot of limitations put out. So we got a very good response. And it was since brothers everything was quite crowded. Also we can buy the three to seven. No festival. No Saturday but no festival next year also 5th PRISTAR some devotees are sponsoring the prasad so that who's coming they don't have to pray for Pushat. Next year I'll be delegated getting to Tamakrishnamaraj to his son of departure. That's Gokun. He wanted to be a lot of hearing and chanting during the rest of he started that so I would learn to do more hearing. Enchanting. That's saying for this last year we.

Have the.

Of course when Tawakshna goes home and suddenly left. And it was everything stopped for about three days. And there was lot of day he left. There was a Samadhi ceremony Artis. The next day there was a Smriti Sabha remember his qualities. And that went on for another day. Woman who wanted to say something they could get a chance. But after that we continue with our curriculum, with our festivities, with our seminar. Then we went on a safari last year where we built one. The year before 2001. Yeah, last year. So this year we went north because it was too hot as it was deep here. Everything was a lot later. So we installed the bees and the honeybest pool. I just talked with budget find out the outside the Gantis residence place. Then we went by train to go on. My husband was born in Assam. The Kohati in the Vedas is known as Prak Jyotishpur that mentions that Krishna went there three times. So he has a program there with the governor of the state. We also went to mega Shiloh hill station. Our self manifested Shila daily had a master Har had a program that was organized with the chief minister. The last minute he sent to the finance minister.

Program.

Then we went back to Siliguri. We inaugurated our celebrities installed a touch point by the mother was soon related then we went after that and then we went for relaxing went up into the mountains. He went to Darjeeling. Probably heard of Darjeeling tea he went. There was no temple there. But so we did a big Hari Nams and brought Krishna to that place. We went back to Mayanpur after about a month. We had an Ashina chat with us. So that safari this year we had 130 devotees. We had from 38 different countries. We had Kavishandra Maharaj and brightly Vijayananda Maharaj traveling with the hallway. And occasionally we had Mahavishna Swami from UK and we also had sometimes Vikushitam Swami and Mojra Swami and Kopa person Swami. So we have the eight gurus coming and going for three weeks. Also faring actually is a few words so hard to go on a tour. So Friday meeting usually in general this is Congress of Holy Tess. As it sound adventures. They're not just going touring. They're actually preaching. You preach there's always some unexpected things happen. So this was mortgage Sasha in Bangalore. I might have to come here for this. We have meetings on cooperation with all the ministers of ISKCON as I'm the minister for congregational preaching communications. Representatives of the youth Justice, Education, Child Protection five, six different ministers came together and made two days discussion how we can work together to improve our service. So we came to the conclusion that all of us are dealing with the individual devotees of Islam. We do this here's individual devotee. And different ministries are like circles going around overlapping the youth ministry when they're young and the Rehastin Ministry and then the Monocaster ministry. The congregational ministry is covering a big area educational Minnesota. So how we can all provide the responsibility service for the individual what things we can share with each other. What resources we have that we can share. How can they do things in a better way? So we came to some good conclusions. Very fruitful. And after that Mayako meeting other different group of the monkeys Mayako development. And so we're going to be going forward to install the clean dealings at the Pachata Temple. Probably will take 2004 to get the cats. So that and many other things were discussed Tomorrow the day after tomorrow we'll have a festival on Atlanta. The Panihati festival. So en route I promised that I'd come to at least once or twice three times to Washington. So I really to go to Atlanta. Here I'm supposed to reach that's what I've been doing. So I combine little plants reports.

Anyone.

Has any questions at when you said it's in Puri next to the Hydergast Thakur Samadhi? No, it's behind the Jardina temple.

As well.

Is on the ocean side. Ocean side. This is directly behind Puri temple itself.

Yeah.

It's about 200m opposite direction of Singadwar to the west you can see there s Dwar Francis next. Right now there's a police outpost there. The front of the outpost is as well eight metals. Copper, zinc. I don't know what all goes in the Bronx but that's the main ingredients for silver and gold. So 2004 will be cast. They'll be installed which DT you're installing. Which DT you install in Tripur. That big building right you're constructing now? Yeah, I saw that last December.

This year.

What kind of program you have for safari going to Gujarat? I'm considering a couple of options. What will be the timing? It's right after gawk one. I mean English calendar. Sorry for coming so late. We can look at a different. It will be like two days after that. One of the options is. Well at least as long as we know. I have desired to come. You know this year one is to trace out Lord Chaitanya's route from Mayapur to Jagannathuri and then the route that he went alongside the Ganges. Let me go on the Ganges with a little detour down to.

The.

Influence of the ocean and the continuing. You can see the Ashram of Kapilbuni and Sagar Island. We come back and then continue where we left off with the Vohicitanya's route. And then we leave the boats and go by Ramuna and all the places in Orissa and not in Taiwane Puri. That's one idea never done. That entire route will just have this other. I have to see if we can get nice and long boats. That's a big gap. Before we were north of my airport. It's more narrow down south. It's very big. Some places advance is 20 km wide with smelt. So I heard there's a very good government ship with 150 beds of bathrooms and cabins. So let's see if that's available. I have to check other logistics in other parts. But we have that number.

Sometime.

I don't know next year. But another tour I like to take some time is which we haven't done is get some air conditioned buses and visit all of the holy places. The Lord Sukhme Bangladesh because many holy places are there. Rupert Sanakin were born there boy Chitanya's mother and father were born northeast side of Sile. Advaita Goswami was appeared there also. And also Shivas Thakur and Raihu as well as Kundaring Villi and Narajan Das Thakur. So despite Anambra very holy places. But that's a bit Muslim majority. The Hindus are very devoted. They're very inspired. Then again I have to check on the logistics. Where were we house so many devotees in this. How does anyone.

Yeah.

Not sure if they can provide such a. Then someone was suggesting you go to receive this hardware at that time. No, you can't go up to. It's not open. That's too early. I'd like to go to Nepal. But there's a war going after Nepal. So I got many years ago we went in Vihi and we went to Gaia and all these places. There will be something, anything, whatever. Wherever you take us. While you take your percentage. You want me to entertain you on this night you can do life together. Thank you for watching our videos. Be sure to subscribe to our channel.
