2003 || Morning Bhāgavatam (featuring Subhag Swami) || Bangalore #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

Loving kind to spread the Krishna consciousness all over the world. And we're trying to carry this message on and further. Once we take the initiation of Prabhupada, the simplicity we shouldn't go outside. That's everything we need here to get back to Krishna. Just want to reinforce that point that everybody is dedicated to spend the study of teachings and putting them in practice. When Raj Muni is seeing Krishna, very hard to see Krishna. We cannot see Krishna with ordinary senses. Only we can see his devotees and the deities with our ordinary senses. We are very fortunate also very hard to see Subhan Swami Maharaj. But Krishna is impossible to see with ordinary senses. But he can give us spiritual senses. He can awaken our such senses from us and we can see Him. This was before he was Mara. This is when he is deceived from my brother. Excuse me. His mother was killed by a snake bite when she was working in the ashram of the Bhaktivedantas. Not everyone in the ashram is Sanyasi. Some may be also employee or servant. In this case he was son of the maid servant. She was preparing the cleaning and cutting the sabjis and whatever ladies and ashram are doing. He was sitting in the sink of the classes. Sometimes he would get the Guru's Mahatrasadam. He was serious boy. He didn't play too much, wasn't very mischievous. He was rather interested to hear from them about Krishna. So he heard many things and somehow those stuck in his mind. When his mother died, then he was wandering around orphan. But he kept chanting Krishna's name. And somehow Krishna is always protecting the devotees especially and even the young and the old and the helpless being a devotee. Then he sat and he was meditating and chanting, concentrating, focusing his consciousness. When Krish said that, that was like a rocky, his ecstasy, his happiness was so to be able to actually see the Lord. Some people are worshipping some deity for life after life. But they don't see the Lord. They don't see the baby now worshiping. The problem was to play was God is not such a person that you can say show me. He has to come and be your order supplier. Just like if you say show me. The chief minister of Tamil Nadu. I don't believe that achievements not that he has to come and shake your hand before to prove that he is existing. There's somewhere you can find out. There are people who have seen it. He goes on television. So similarly Bharat Muni is telling his Guru Vyadsti. This is what I experienced when I Saw the Lord, I was so happy. I was feeling so much spiritual bliss. I can't express it beyond anything I ever experienced. Then the Lord disappeared from my vision. Then I was feeling so much surprised. You get something, you know. Sometimes I saw someone has a lottery ticket and he wins. And he looks, he says, my God, you know, I got that lucky number. And he is like rejoicing. Then a wind blows off the thicket. You know, the thing goes mad, right? Rata, that is an unlimited blessing. When you lose that Darshan or Krishna, you are feeling so much separation. Your mind becomes single pointed. When will I see Krishna again? When will I have that association again? This one. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's processes that we should experience Ka and become so much attached to Ka that we cannot forget it. It's a very natural process. Because naturally everyone has in their heart dormant love for Ka. Chaitanya Charameshna explains Ka, Premo, Nittu Siddh. Understand Krishna, Prema, Nitta, Sitta, Krishna Prem is an eternal perfection that everyone has in them. It's dormant though set up manifesting as love beings. Krishna's holy Dham, Ka's holy name, Krishna's pastimes, Krishna's qualities. All the type of things connected between Krishna, Surabhi, cows. But we are not also so fortunate to see the Surahi cows. So Krishna's holy days, Karasis coming Wednesday. For some, that's the beginning of Namal Dharma. Some do for my Kadasi, some do from Pratipad. So normally so because we're getting some gradual, gradual association through service, through hearing, through remembering, through devotees. So we start to gradually awaken our love for Ka through eight steps. It goes from faith. Ado, Shaddha, Satsanga, Achanakriya, Anarta, Naviti, Nishtha, Ruchi, Asakti and Bhava. There is eight steps. Faith association with devotees, practice of devotional service. Getting rid of the unwanted characteristics. Then being fixed in devotional service. Then having a taste for Kishta consciousness, being very attached to Kta and finally ecstatic love. These things gradually develop. If we practice Sadhana Bhakti very careful, we go up step by step. You can see what step you're on. Sometimes by Lord Caitanya's mercy, you get some booster blessing. And suddenly you get extra bliss, extra taste. So this helps to increase your attachment. Sometimes you may even have a momentary glimpse of ecstasy. When that becomes a fixed status, then you are considered in that particular level. But in order to get Prema, one can go up to the level of power ecstatic love. But beyond that one cannot go just by gradual process. Beyond that there is Prema which is pure love. And the Prema has another eight levels. And the top level of Prema is called Mahabhav. When Mahabhav only Radar Rani, Lord Chaitanya and Manobindra Puri have demonstrated that level of Prema especially Radarani is known for Mahabhava. She reads such a state of madness and love for Krishna that it takes over everything. These things cannot be imitated. So to reach Krima, Krishna has to show himself to the devotee. He has to reveal himself to the devotee. Then when one actually realizes Ka because their attachment increases so much that they are in Prema. So normally to realize Krishna, that's already perfection within that. After that there's more higher levels of love for God that one can increase normally. In most of our self realization path, if you realize God, that's it. But here, even after realizing God, we continue to advance in our Ka consciousness. Even Radharani, she's thinking that I'm not yet convinced. I'm trying to. My love for Krishna is not yet hundred percent. I want to improve it. I want to increase it. You read the last chapters of Antheal Leela, Chaitanya Chandramita, the prayers by Lord Chaitanya Mudha Radharani when she's saying how much he wants to please Krishna. When you think that you are already perfect, now you need it. Now you have gone further to advance. Now you are the best God's gift to the world. Then you can know you are really in Maya. Somehow you got off the track. As long as you're thinking that you're a humble devotee and you're trying to make further advancement. And still you have so much further. You can improve your devotional service. There's hope for you. Very easy, Maya. As soon as. Even if we go from the second grade to the third grade, we already think that I made it. I'm so much better than the second graders. I'm now a third grader. And we get stuck up and we fall down. Even we become lower than the first grader because we start becoming offensive. We start becoming neglectful or the other side. We're in the fourth grade and we're looking up at the fifth grade and we're getting envious. And then because of envy again we are in trouble. Actually, devotional service is no problem. Only problem is our mind. How to control the mind so it doesn't create so many problems. How to control Our false ego. How to avoid getting into different kinds of obstacles. How to get out of this. Avoid them. Because so easily we can fall into different traps. Starting to doubt the words of the spiritual master. Starting to create our own speculations. Here's a special situation. Narad Muni. He saw the Lord. He was in deep separation. Maybe he doesn't even know how he's going to live. He's feeling so much separation and the Lord speaks to him. He can't see the Lord but he can hear him. Hearing the Lord also is not different than seeing the Lord's voice in the Lord is also not different than hearing the Lord. He's feeling so much spiritual encouragement again. It's not like hearing some ordinary sound. How many people in this world have heard God singing? Really don't even know anybody is there like that. They said a prophet was taking dictation from an angel Gabriel. Because of that he's the prophet. I don't know so much whether he's in. They say whether you actually heard directly from God or only from Gabriel. But say someone heard the names of the world. Maybe Moses supposed to have seen a burning bush and heard the ten Commandments. Very few people. All the few people who ever heard threaten me God in this world. They will become the vague prophets and gurus and religious founders of all Sampradaya. That morning he heard the Lord. He also saw the Lord. Many they don't see the Lord. He saw and then heard in this world while he was son of Manson. So one doesn't have to be wait to see the Lord after we die. Even while we're alive we can see. But that's very special blessing. We have to have so much mercy from the Lord. Because he was so sincerely serene. You could see. And then Abhide Purikama. We go to one place. Maharashtra has been there many times with the party. There's a Suvarna Bihar. There was a king there called Suvarna Sina. And he was in a previous time. Some. Maybe the previous Yuga or something. Yeah, Dwarfar Yuga probably. Or just at the beginning. I'm telling you Dwarfa like that. So he was the king. This place is part of Navadip now. So he was the king over Navadip. But he doesn't know that time is not novelty. This is capital is on the other side of the river in the Suvarna. Bihar is the capital city. And he's the Suvarna Sena. So he named his city after himself. So he was very pious king he was doing all kinds of punya karmas, sacrifices, festivals, Navaratris, dasaras. So many things. Whatever the Pujas he was doing was not for Bhakti. He was the karma Gandhi. He wanted to get good karmas for himself and his puja. That he can enjoy happy life. He can have good wealth, nice children. Everything will be healthy. Good amount of sense, gratification, senses will be strong. Enjoyment will be there with all the material senses. This was his focus. So one day Narav only visited his Tabil Naruto. But actual nar now. But after all this it's a history that Naraji's previous life, what he did before he was Narayana. Now he's Narada telling all this to his guru. And Narad's liberated soul. He is a Chidananda form. He doesn't go to birth death anymore. He is completely liberated. So he travels around this universe and preaches. So he went and visited this king. The king getting that money as a guest. He was very happy. How many of you like to receive sanyasis in your house? Especially the month of Karthik says you get hundred times benefit for all Sevas including Vaishnava Seva. How many want to do Vaishnava Seva in Mantu Karthi? Just say a few extra days also. He was giving this Mercia visiting the house. So he came and visited the king's palace. The king gave him a royal reception, made this feed, give our tea, offer the whatever he could. He tried to do very nice reception for Narat Mumi. So Narad Muni was very merciful to him. He thought that this person has done such a nice favor. Let me bless him. So what's the biggest blessing you could give? What do you think? Giving him Ka consciousness or in this world? I think you know, make him a bigger kingdom, give him more money. But no, let me give this person transcendental knowledge. So he can liberate himself. So he can understand. So you ask the king what you are? What are you doing? What's your goal in life? So no, no. I am religious man. I bring all the Pujas. I do all the worship. I do all the. I chair all the suktas. Whatever I know, I give charity to the Brahmins. I'm trying to be happy in life and go to heaven after punishment. The Lord Muni said, do not know that this material happiness and these material karmas they are all temporary. How long they last. You are doing everything for your children, their dynasty. But you're only brought Together, just like in the current of a river. There's some whirlpool and some grasses are swirling around together. Then after some time, the whirlpool stops. And those grasses they get scattered. Now you're together in one family. You're whirling around together. But then you'll be scattered off. Next light. Bull family. Another situation. No attention. So this is going on. Sometimes you are enjoying, sometimes you are suffering. How do we come? This material happiness is like a little bubble. How long does the bubble last? After a short time, it pops. So rather than going for this temporary happiness as your goal in life. You should try to achieve Ka consciousness. You should try to achieve Krishna Bhakti. You are a very fortunate king. You are here in the kingdom which in Kali Yuga. In this place. Lord Vishnu himself appears here as a devotee. And he gives out pure Bhakti freely to everyone. He comes as Goranga. Goranga is so beautiful. He's golden color. That's why he has the name Goranga. And he chanting always the holy name and seeing the sky. About Chaitanya Mahapu's pastimes. They are very fortunate to be here. So the king, he said that just when I hear this thing Goranga, my hair is standing on it. I'm feeling that some very much attraction. I'd like to see this Goranga. How can I see it? So that's very hard to see it. But if you chant his name here, it's very merciful. Chanting mantras and holy Dham, it's more effective. You chant here. Maybe you can get his mercy in due course. So he gave him the initiation into the Gauranga mantra. And he was chanting the holy names of Gauranga. So Nara Muli left. And then that king. He was every day chanting in his Puja room. For some time. Ray went by. Two days went by. One week, one month, years went by. But every day he kept chanting. Sam. It says that king. He was completely overwhelmed with ecstasy to see the Lord. Then the Lord spoke to him. Spoke to him? You're not. He had qualified to St. Louis. And I give you a special mercy. So you can see me by very pleased with your devotion. You will become one of my associates in my coming pastimes. Coming here like to be an associate of newbie. Associate. Your name will be Buddhi Master Khan. You know Buliman. You heard of him? He was the associate who arranged. He was businessman or some businessman rich person. And he organized the weddings. Balo Chaitanya, Lord Chaitanya was wedded first was actually in Kriya and then she when he was out preaching she died on the same could bear that separation of the Lord. Then his mother and sister that he should get married again. The next time he got married to Vishtubriya. So both of these weddings were like super weddings. Huge prasad distribution, huge arrangement for the Adivas. Day before when all the Brahmanas would do the Abhishek thousands of Brahmanas came and performed Abhisheka. U n the Brahmanis day Vishnu Priya with the turmeric water and all this auspicious healthy. So people could come and bathe Lakshmi and Rayan expansion and Krishna. Actually Sigma and Ram they could do this and then know that he's the Lord. But they have the same ecstasy, same feelings. When Lord comes in his pastime many times. Most of the time they don't notice the Lord. Especially Krishna and Ra. They disguise themselves people they don't know that they're the Lord. Some do, some don't. Krishna was in Vrindav and he was Nobody knew that he was in Lord. They're doing regularly everyday daily special birthday big Abhishek. So here mine is based on his wedding day. They came and did Amisha blessing. Blessing for his auspicious wedding. When they stibbilizing the Prasada people are queuing up in line. Some people are coming around second time you get bored. Khan said it's not good. Why are you giving solace the first time that they're coming again you give more so they can't take to come again. So they said that they giving out so much prasad what fell from the leaves. But spell was more than what five times more than ordinary wedding. But was Ms. What the speaker once went out. That was his stance. Baby 4 cents. Wedding Day Big feast such feast all saw any feast like what would he want to accomplish? That's descriptions are there. Maybe Maharaj can elaborate more on some Chaitanya Bhagavan English so so like this similar. The king also saw the Lord for a moment. And then later he heard the wealth and he went out saw the Lord for a moment. And that was my big spiritual inspiration for him. Anyone else? Arjun Prahas Prahas suffered sometimes he had an extended direction may not display. Despite sitting in the lap of the Lord he heard a lot of time's over. We have to hear now from Maharaj also. So you try to anyway seeing the Lord is always not possible. We can hear the Lord. That's a special we can get the same experience by hearing the Lord. That we can fully absorb our consciousness. Or absorb yourself in getting enchanting and remembering. Lord Chaitanya said. We develop this attachment to Krishna where we feel separation and we serve the Lord in separation. That is very auspicious. That is the way that we can achieve Krishna in this Kali Yuga. Now. Why don't you speak now? Oh, they're there. The child is not ready. They can hear something.
