Live festival transcript (Woodstock, Poland) of a multi-speaker spiritual presentation led by Jaya Pataka Swami with interjections by Prabhupada and others. Major actions: the speakers teach and lead the audience in chanting the Hare Krishna mantra as a method for spiritual happiness and social harmony; they contrast spiritual happiness with drug/alcohol use, advocate service to others (prasada/volunteering) as the proper way to be happy, and explain doctrinal points about the soul, bodily identification, birth/rebirth, and the role of the guru and the holy name (audible form of the Lord). The talk references Mayapur and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as sources of the chanting tradition and repeatedly invites audience participation and performance.
Ram. It's, it's, it's. It's. So.
Is the spice that makes life nice.
Come on, man. In Kisha Kish.
In this world, give peace a chance. I was in Montreal in 1968. How we can have peace in this world? And I.
Harmony right now.
Why there's so much lack of peace in the world? No common point of cooperation. If we understand that there's one proprietor for the entire world. Supreme Lord.
Everybody.
We are all his children. We're all meant to be together. Serving Him.
Shit. Sa. I was afraid you looked at me and said, matter of time. I understand mine in this pride even among friends. You're my obstinate cry.
To this world.
Yeah. We keep my ride. To this world we shall be moved forward. Sa Sam it. Sa Ra. Ram. Ram.
Okay, thank you very much. We say goodbye until tomorrow. I mean, until later.
This morning, 11 o'. Clock.
The stage program will start again.
It's.
Sam it.
Bowl.
Who'S having a good time. Say Haribo. This way.
You see.
When we use our senses, we want you all to be happy. This is the whole goal of life. To be happy.
Right?
Two kinds of happiness. There's sexual happiness and there's spiritual happiness. Now, if you can have both of them at the same time, then you have profound happiness.
Yes. So.
What you been doing here? When Village of Peace are performing, you are singing and dancing and chanting.
Please.
I'm sorry, I don't. I'm coming from India, so I don't speak Polish. I live in India and we have big festivals like this here. They are also called K. With 31.
Million people.
Mar.
Now, up to now, people been performing. We want you to perform now. We want you to be the performer. So this time I'm going to very slowly teach you this mantra. This is a folk song from India which spiritualizes the atmosphere. Three words.
Shiswa.
Everyone. Anybody here can't memorize three words. It's written all over the sign. One more word.
Rama.
So please chair. Repeat after me. Hare Kisha.
Hare Krishna.
Hare Kisha.
Hare.
A little complicated. Four words at once. Hare Krishna, Hare Krish. I want all of you to repeat with us. God said that everybody can chant this mantra. A mantra means man means the mind. And TRA means to deliver. It's a transcendental vibration to deliver our consciousness and make it happy. Anybody can say this mantra, except one person. The one persons who cannot say this mantra are liars. But I don't think there's a single liar here amongst you. We'll see though. We're going to ask everyone to say it. If you see anybody not chanting, well, we don't know. You can draw your own conclusion. We want everyone to prove how this mantra will make people happy. We want you to be happy. We want you to chant with us. You don't need to take drugs. You don't need to take alcohol to be happy. This addiction is ruining the youth of today. We want to show you you can be happy. By mom one drug and you don't need to take drugs. Sam Hare.
Sa.
Repeat dance and sing.
Hani Krishna contact.
And that makes you happy. If you can. If you just share my Krishna, be happy. It's a profound happiness. When it take drops of something, it brings your consciousness down. So we want you to get addicted to chanting mantras where you always be happy and pure and avoid the addiction to drugs which is harmful. You can stay high forever. Everyone sing. Repeat with us. Want to see who's great? Try chant this mantra. After this here another five minutes, another big band will come on. But here's your chance. You're now on the stage. We're watching you. You're the performing art.
Har Sa Nam Sa. It's like it's a heart out la.
500 years ago in the holy land of Mayapur, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu he gave us this chanting. He said by singing these names you can spiritualize the world. This is how we can have internal peace. This is how we can have world peace. Please. Always we're giving out food for peace here. We hope you all get one of the meals here and subsidized. The Lord Shaitan is also known as as Go. And his brother's name is N. This is really easy. Let's ch N and go. Ranga.
I. I don't Rai Hari.
Who'S happy say horrible. So I want you to have a good time. Remember, you're not the material body. You're the living force in the body. And anytime you feel anxiety, anytime you feel any trouble, just remember to chant Hare Krishna. Have a wonderful Woodstock. I'll see you later. Hare Krishna. I came from India from Mayapur Dam on the bank of the holy Ganges River.
There.
Means bringing the Guru and the Saifan together.
Ninjas. Not.
Connecting the disciple to the they believe so. So we see Prabhupada. All the spiritual masters are training to follow individual. Spiritual masters may give individual specific advice for their disciples. But the basic principles are all.
Blessed.
The holy name of Krishna.
Is given.
At the first initiation.
Yeah.
This is our second verse. What time? It says we should take two breaths first. We get our biological birth and our.
Pain.
When we chant the holy name.
Shalom.
Following instructions. Demigods are basically angels. As mentioned in Christian theology. They have some of them have power within the nuclear world over certain factors. Someone thinks that the name of these demigods primary orders are what we vow to follow during the ceremony. Subsequently, the guru may give some instruction for a spiritual welfare. Then this also should be solved. So accepting the guru means that we're accepting that we'll follow his instruction. Sometimes the order who is my guru? Who to choose as my guru? One of the factors whose order can do I have FaceTime to follow their order. Which guru will be more sensitive to the proper order? This question of faith. You have to follow the order. Some disciples are inspired by one guru, some other by another guru. They like to say that whoever guru they explained accept and they need to follow his instructions. The disciples have been challenged, but they can on prayer if they have any doubts. Probably Guru is not independent. He's also representing Krishna. Therefore, whatever instruction he gives has to also be backed up by.
Do.
When the fourth offense is to not the holy Name is glorified in scripture. We see them, but criticize the scripture.
Interpret.
Holy name is Krishna for some other reason.
It's not.
A person.
As a holy.
Name, he's also a person. Just like we pray to the deities, we also pray to the holy. Devious are visible forms of the Lord. And the holy name is audible form of the Lord.
Audible.
Audible. Audible form and sound or form and sight means considering the glory of his holy name of the imagination. It's because it says the holy man can deliver someone from birth and death. You see someone chanting and that immediately delivered. Then you shouldn't doubt how it works. Is on way. But without the dog Holy name must not work. Conducting social activities. Yeah. Somebody thinks, well, I can shanghai Krishna be praying for. Thank you the holy man. Let us develop love for God and karma. Kanda. Kanda. Karma produces Karma. If you think that the holy Name is just another good karma, then it's very authentic to chant the holy names and avoid this very carefully. We should chant these holy names and avoid the holy offense. So whatever the disciples do outside of the forever, it's also a text to guru. So disciples should be very careful. Someone follows. But by that time the end of their life. This was installed this year for taking care of the forest. Forest Forest. So they hardly tolerate mechanical by cars and talk to them. So that the pacifier because they so you need to put the smallest fire as possible. Yeah. So then reduce this to small, smaller pieces of wood. I know them very well. They're very eager to help devotees. They always welcome devotees to stay their place for the night.
So.
Very strong.
Kind heart.
Yeah, very kind. For yogurt, one could say a lot of things.
Your name is there.
Four principles that.
Very good question. What is the relation of me and the soul? The mostly people think I have a.
Soul.
Because they're identifying with the body. The body has a soul.
But they.
Don'T realize they are the soul. In India, people say I have a body. When they meet people on the street, they say, how is your body? Because soul is always good. It's the body that has the problem.
Right?
Bodies get sick, they get old, they get so many problems. So how's your body?
Bad.
Sorry for you. Okay, so like this. We are the soul. We are the living force in the body. And the body is a biological machine that we take care of. And we use it while we're living in this. While we're living in it. If you use your body for serving others, then you get good karma. Use your body for harming others, you get bad karma. And if you do something just for survival, then it's something you'll be fine. So where does body dies then? The soul doesn't die. At that time you leave your body and you enter into the. At that time, somewhere man and woman are having relation, maybe in the middle of a Woodstock festival. And at that time you enter into the womb of the mother. And then to time, maybe you take conception if they didn't use contraceptives. Maybe you take birth in somewhere, somewhere in the world, some mother and father whose consciousness matches up with your desires. Yes, mother, that. So like that. When you're born, you forget your previous life. You been sleeping in 9, 10 months in the womb of the mother. When you're born, there's sometimes a big shock. They pull through the small hole of the womb of the mother.
The stage.
Was one about King says, while we're in the womb of the mother for the first seven months were unconscious. In the last few months we become conscious that time in the womb of the mother. Sometimes the mother takes hot food and that causes pain on the child. Sometimes there's worms in the of the mother and the worms bite the baby. The baby moves around and kicks and the mother feels it. So like this. Sometimes the baby in the womb, the embryo, the consciousness in the small in the consciousness in the womb of the mother can remember even up to 100 births back. Please let me out of this womb. Let me out of this horrible place. I'm upside down here, being bitten by worms, getting so much inconvenience. This time when I'm born, I'm gonna serve you. I'm not gonna waste my human form of life.
Comments? Comments?
I really serve you. I won't waste my life just enjoying physical happiness. Let me out of here and I'll be really good. Then our mother and father. So look at our little baby. So beautiful. Then we think, wow, look at everybody loves me. I meant to be the center of the universe for me to enjoy the whole world. And we forget why.
So like this.
We're taking softening breath. This is sometime when we're wandering through the universe like this. We need a bonafide spiritual.
So.
We feel a spiritual master who's able to give us spiritual wisdom so that we can understand who we actually are. We can understand our spiritual higher nature which then brings everything into proper perspective. Just like we have so many devotees coming here volunteering. They stay up till 2 in the morning last night some are up to 4 in the morning. The souvening Prashada. So like this.
Why?
Because they getting happiness from serving all of you in the name of serving Krishna. This girl sitting in there putting on a face painting, you know, for hours and hours together just so that you have this as a circle. When we serve others like that, we actually feel spiritual happiness. We want to teach you that serving is actually the higher way of getting happy. That's our real nature. Our nature is to work to serve God. Answer God's parts and parcels, all the living entities. My time is just about running out and I may have only one or two more questions here.
