2004 || Ratha Yātrā, Address, Visit to Godrumadvīpa and Bhāgavatam || Atlanta, Māyāpur and Melbourne

Transcript of a multi-speaker recorded address (YouTube video) centered on a Ratha Yātrā procession and related devotional topics. Early segments contain festival logistics and registration instructions; the middle contains scripture readings and Srila Prabhupada’s purports on Bali Maharaj (Bhāgavatam Canto 8, ch.20, verses ~15–18) and theological commentary (Vamana three-step episode, nature of devotees). The piece mixes anecdote, theological exegesis, and practical announcements.
Half entire population were turning out every night.
So that.
That was my first experience with Prabhupada on a procession. And I actually felt like it was something out of the Krishna book. It was really amazing. Legally kings, although they had lost their kingdoms in a sense of any official power but they were constitutionally still allowed to use their titles and accepted as kings. It was abolished in the time of Indira Gandhi for some political system. At that time they were. I still have some landed property prestige.
Okay. It's It's Ram. This way. This way. The front car.

And it's mostly it is Bengali but sometimes call all in case speaking devotee the next time Guru Maharaj comes. Sometimes they're English speaking devotees. They know what is going to happen or how they can participate. Very nice devotees. This year one thing we have to follow. Just like before anybody come to my festival they have to register. When it registers and evening they can't stay in some vijast house. Also we are pursuing like that. This year there is no registration fee.

Mashallah. You have become a so called.
Learned.
Person as to disobey my order. Because of disobeying me, you shall very soon be bereft of all your obstinance. Translation with repetition Although you have no.
Knowledge.
Therefore you dare me. So imputed says that Bali Maharasha was not Banigyama or one who falsely assumes himself. Rather he was Pandita Manya, Ghost.
One.
Who is so learned that all other learned persons worship him. In Sant spe, when you combine words, there's a set of rules like you combine. Like here it says Pandita and it's spelled M A N Y A.
J.
N A H. Right? So the way that Sukracharya meant it was Pandita Mani Mani.
Agn.
Some of us thinks he's a pandit, but he's actually a fool. But the way that Vishnu Chakravarti, he's divining it differently. It's actually the word Bhagavata Mamyatta is all written as one word in Sanskrit. It's one of the compassive words. The way that he divides it is Parmita Manya Manya means respected, was respected by hundreds instead of many. One who's learned, who has knowledge. Sometimes like it says, someone who says something. But my saraswati is arrangement. We can have two meanings. So this other meaning is what actually Vishona Shakar Thakura says really is the position of Bali Maharaj. Inadvertently, what Suprachari said could be taken of this way as well. So I continue Prabhupada's purport. Because Bali Maharaj was so learned he could disobey the order of his so called spiritual master, he had no fear of any condition of material existence. Anyone cared for by Lord Vishnu does not need to care about anyone else. Thus Bali Maharaj could never be bereft of all opulences. The opulences offered by the supreme personality of Nagari are not to be compared to the opulences attained by Karma Khanda. In other words, if a devotee becomes very opulent, it is to be understood that his opulence is a gift of the supreme personality of Gandhi. Such opulences will never be vanquished. Whereas the opulence and tip layman's fruit to thy maybe vanquished at any moment. The next three verses don't have any purport. So read those two. Sukadev Goswami continued, Even after being cursed in this way by his own spiritual master, Bali Maharaja, being a great personality, never deviated from his determination. Therefore, according to custom, he first offered water to Ramanadeva and then offered him the gift of land he had promised. Translation Bali Maharaj's wife, known as Vivyalami, was decorated with a Necklace of pearl immediately came and had a large golden water pot brought there full of water, with which to worship the Lord by washing his feet. The worshipper of Almanadeva jubilantly washed the lotus feet of the Lord and then took the water on his head. For that water delivers the entire universe. Okay, let's end the Baikavidanthuswoni Translation and purports for Canto 8, chapter 20, text 15 through 18 team the Bali Maharaj had so much respect for the Brahman. The Asuras tend to be more materialistic.
But.
Some of the very great assurance also have other respects for the Brahmins. It's like Jara Sandha who agreed to side with Bhima because came as a Brahmana bait. He said, what do you want me to do? He said, I want to fight with you.
So.
Bali was technically the family of Asura because he was also grandson of Prahlat. He was also a devotee Asura and he had been worshipping Mishnah, by which worshipping Vishnu he had conquered over the universe and defeated his half brother Imra. The Vaikyas and the Devas are have brothers. Vaijiyas are coming from Giti and the Devas are coming from Agiti, who have two wives of Kasyata women. So the leaves demons and Devas actually related.
So.
Interesting situation, but they have totally two different natures. This king, Bali Maharaj Prahlad, they were devoting Vaishnava Bhaitas. So though they maintained many of the dietary qualities, but at the same time they worship Vishnu. So through worshipping Vishnu and following his guru, he had successfully conquered over the.
Universe.
And displaced Indra. So Deepi, the Herta Vasya is to get her son back out of exile and Bhavana babe as a child.
Who.
Is the Lord himself. And as a result.
Then.
Abdra brought or Bamba Nadei just came on his own this time. He just came there and presented himself. Maria Falchin then brown boy dwarf. So then Molly askin was do you want to? I'll give you some Dakshina. So now I just do my circle around the way. I only want three steps of my life. Babaji said, come on, I can give you a whole planet. The king of the universe. So I can give you a whole planet. If you're married, I can give you a nice bride. So many things didn't work out. Tell me what? One shouldn't be greedy, should want more than what they can handle. Three steps to the way after the rest. So then by Salam if that's all you want.
Okay.
That's why I'll give you that. The Sukha Charyan. He scopes out the whole situation. This is not coordinate dwarf. This is Vishnu. And what he can take in three steps will take the whole universe. There'll be nothing left. And my disciple who was king of the universe. After a lot of hard work he got into this position. Always came to the universe. He is a very big Dakshina. If he loses everything, I'm going to be the Guru of a pomper. So then he started giving all kinds of weird advice. You should just disobed this. It should just be greater promise. But you can just stay with him. There's certain times when promises can be, you know, like overlooked. It's kind of interesting when it's kind of okay to tell white lies.
Thank you.
Therefore the safe case is to say no. Although it is a falsehood, it protects one completely. It draws the compassion of others toward oneself. The poor guy is so retired. It gives one full facility to collect money from others or for oneself. It is profitable to tell lies. Nonetheless, if one always believes that he has nothing, he is condemned. For he is a dead body while living. But while still breathing, he should be killed. If you're always lying, then it's not good. You have some time to tell the truth. So he says if flattering a woman to bring her under control. The Sukharcharya, the Guru, the demons. Oh, you're so beautiful. In choking in a marriage ceremony.
They.
Say that five lives in marriage. They may have to say so many things. Because in India while somebody was married there was no divorce amongst the Hindus. So there's a Gopal Bhar story with.
How.
As soon as the marriage was finalized there's like certain ceremony. Saptapadi or like himself in the Kriyana Mango Sutra. Right? Once you do this ceremony, that means irrevocable. Can't go back now. It's finished. So in this, as soon as that was done, then the band of the roomside started playing a song. We got the better deal. Thank you for watching our videos.
