Anything we're chance.

Connection with the Lord is real.

Anything without connection to the Lord should be known as of his material world.

It's a very important test.

How do you know that something as Ka conscious and relaxed? Sometimes a neophyte may think that wow, this is very good. So it must be Krishna conscious. It's like how people lose gold or.

Is a real dollar bill.

It's fantastic. You have to do so how many more something is Krishna conscious? It has to be connected with Krishna. It is not favorably connected to Ka. There is non Krishna. That's what's very important. So the dora is using their testing and according one quality and somebody is connected to Krishna. They're helping. While Yoga is not happy. What he was asking for.

Was not.

Very much connected with Krishna.

Being the greatest king.

Better, bigger than his father. All these were material things. So although the Lord said he were in contact with him, if he did devotional service the blessed Samarask. Now he asks for all these material blessings. And somehow he has to. He's realized now that Krishna is supreme Narayana is supreme lords. And he wants to remain in contact with Narayana with Krishna. But he's afraid now. And he asks for all these material things. And now I got them. And now I have to somehow survive this. Not forget Ka again. So that's why he's not feeling very happy. He's a bit concerned. Sometimes the devotee gets something material. They don't necessarily feel like super happy. They may feel okay, this is an opportunity for me to do something more for Krishna. But they also feel very much responsible and to be very careful. Because when they have more opportunity to serve Krishna, come also more opportunity to enjoy their senses. If I misuse these opportunities, I'll be in big trouble. So devotees don't feel so much like elation. You saw in the newspaper when the Greeks won the Euro Cup. They're mad with happiness dancing in this team. Usually, I don't know in South America. One time you have to read the paper to find out where you're going. If they're winning a football cup, it's dangerous. Drunken drivers, wild parties, violence, craziness. In Santiago, Chile, we were arriving. They had just won the Copa Americana, which is like the Euro Cup. This is the South American cup that's very highly competitive against all those top football countries like Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia fight. Very good football countries are there. So when Chile won, there was a huge celebration. 250 people injured, nine people dead.

This is for victory.

Because of drunken driving, because of drunken Brawls because of so many accidents.

So dangerous.

You cannot go to the downtown during that time. Because people they are throwing very come out of the control their happiness.

So.

That type of happiness bodies are not losing their control. Even they get something one day in Dubai. Sometimes they have this automatic laundry and you just go to the supermarket and you buy something. Then you automatically get a coupon. Then if you scratch it, you can see whether you want or not want. Whether you got the lucky number. You don't pay anything. So they were saying is it gambling? I said I don't think it's gambling is enough. If you put your own money like you're gambling. But you're not gambling.

You're not risking anything. It's no gamble for you.

You already bought you good. You got a free coupon. You can see whether you want or not. What's not hard. So she won one brand new Lexus or Mercedes Benz with Dh70,000 car. She wants to know what source you want to sell and pay for her child.

Policy.

Where then your child gets put to the college and give something for Krishna and do something like this. So she had it on. How do you all pay something? Give you seven, eight thousand here the body network. I think practically how to use it for my family from my spiritual life.

So.

The difference between that devotees. So that's why here I say that he was not very happy, not very pleased. He was pleased he saw the Lord. He was not ready as he's got a pig. Now he's got a lot of things he has to do. So the devotional life is very responsible. Let me have you just got a really spiritual blessing that it would have been different. But now he has to deal with some material situation. We think that material life will make us happy. That's the illusion. We think I'm just not happy because I don't have enough money. If I have enough money then I'd be happy. It's a funny movie. You probably saw it's on ITV circuit Gita Chindagi.

You see that It's a Hindi movie.

And they distributing it amongst the devotees. They've only seen it. Of course you can also get it from any shop. But Sah is reign all movies. He has zindagi and they know they have a Hindi movie with us. It was subtitled for westerners. So people are watching that some guy was. It's actually taken from Burana but modernized. But such story was there from Burana. That's why it's somewhat modernized. But they didn't Know like modernizing instead of the Puranic example, they made some modern examples. There was a family and the wife was very devoted and had a Krishna Devi Every day she would put one some paisa into the pranami box. And then husband was working as a sleep maker. We are also here one devotee who is making sweets and has his own shop. I met last night with Bengali.

Then.

So this.

Husband, he got an opportunity. Let me invest some money and buy it. I'll have my own sweet shop. He don't have any money. And then when he does it, he steals the. And somehow Krishna faced him and said you're taking my money, Shall I give you back?

I want to impress this.

So then he.

The wife ends up very upset the Turkishness money. So I told him I came back. So then like it says, the wife is very pious. So that sweet shop become, you know, first class goods sweet shop. So many servants. At the end the person become like the biggest sweet shop owner in the city. He's got a huge mansion. He's got the Mercedes Benz and all the.

So then before they were living in.

A little flat with husband all eating together. Now the husband's sitting at the big table and nobody's there, nobody wants to eat. Now we're together, just the wife and the daughter is off taking horse riding lessons. Son is doing something else. So he was left in the Royal United that he's flying off to Bombay via jet. But he's very unhappy because all the things he thought if I have all this, I'll be happy. His family was. Then he got very sick because of all the attention that went his business and everything. Then he was sick man. Krishna all the movie keeps coming back. He keeps saying where's my money? He never paid me back. He stood and paid back the money he took with interest. I'm just gonna lay it over. He's a little miser, guys who never pays for a long time. Then he comes when he's in the same bed and he says where's the money? You're not paying me, you know. And then he looks at his clothes, you know, he's taking antibiotics, you know, antibiotics. Terramycin, streptomycin, all this. So he's reading out all this My sin.

Why?

The reason it's all my sin.

My sin after papa.

So finally when there he gets back, he just. Krishna has money. And he said I really made a mistake. It's interesting how you get. Everything went when his daughter was impregnated like that. Wanted to get Married to the horse riding trainer. And he was shocked because now he's a big walla. So this guy's not good enough for his daughter. Whatever could go wrong in his life? Everything went wrong in unexpected ways. So it's like with somebody one happiness they get. That's also written, you know, like their karmas. Like Vasina Krishna was Dharma.

How useful.

You know, it shows that if you're not Ka conscious, even though you have material things, you still suffer like anything. How Krishna was very kind.

He was.

And of all the people, the happiest was the mother. And she was always fixed in her devotional service. She was the only one happy because she was always in the devotee. Other thing here what Prabhupada is dressing. He said, hearing all this description. Just he heard after all this wonderful blessing he got the service of the Lord. God is the divination. Worship the Lord. Vaatin pritho va ajin Krita. Not very much pleased. He picked that up. You think after God's words speak of the winning of. He wanted more than anything to do with. He got to see the Lord. He got the universal kingdom. He got so many blessings. But he's not very pleased.

How is that.

So why is that very pleased? Somebody who is Krishna conscious, they're very.

Pleased.

The fixture they have devotional service. So that's why devotees are very observant. They notice all the little things. They will pick out what's Ka conscious, what's not Krishna art of it, which.

Is very very.

Why is versus.

The.

Lord is also very wise and think about these things. They go deeper into the meanings. They understand that. So when we do our daily work, we also be connected to Ka.

We do our work very conscientiously. At the same time, we think that.

This is so I can offer my boga to Ka. I can feed my family with Krishna to Sarah. I can serve Krishna devotees. Even though they do their material. Everybody had chances to be there. Very much attached to coming to class, to hearing about Ka chanting. Some people think if I was manager, I'll be happy. Now I'm only the employee, but I know one devotee. He was made a manager and then he was unhappy because of employee. He had more time.

To chance.

But his manager. There's no overtime. Then you have to work longer hours. You have to work really hard. In the sense that you're always using your brain and seeing how things are going. As a worker, he actually was getting.

No less money because if you worked.

Overtime, he got an American to double Pain a little bit over time he had. But he must not at least tension, no pressure. And he was getting. So I'm going to go back to the. That nobody could understand because social media, but because the spiritual life was suffering. He wanted to do his bhakti rickshaw preaching. He wanted now as a manager he had to stay up late.

And he had to go over all.

The accounts and do so many things. So he couldn't attend the program. And he was hardly making any more money for it. Just for the social status of being the manager. He was having work. Maybe if you're the managing director, it's one thing. So devotees they tend to judge according to their own situation. But things are not always ready light and wait for how they're going to be beneficial. But the devotee has also their own things that they want to see whether their spiritual life will progress nicely. Whether the sometimes when they get job or they're separated from their family and their family suffers. We can lose so many factors. Since united there could be more ka kanji together. So it's interesting here because Vidura he picked out one little discrepancy. One little something different. He wants to know why is it that he's not so much happy. Any question.

Duba was ashamed.

He had all these material demands. He didn't have a spiritual vision at that time. Now after seeing the Lord he can realize.

The people realized the Lord in five months.

056 months he asked. He had all these material areas. So all this language it immediately had captured chain of birth and death. Immediately gone back to the spiritual world. His 10 only is to serve 60,000 more years in a prison house of this material world. Of course, for the warriors that they're serving for the service of the Lord. Thank you very much for your participation. Today's program will be going for a walk. And today 10 to 12 and tomorrow today evening there will be program five to seven. The devotees will take this session. We'll be taking initiation 5 to 7. They'll be here for the interview. And from 7 we'll have the auntie and 8 to 10. The initiation ceremony will be for the 10th year in this temple. So I'm requesting devotees they can attend that program and be here and see their meditation. So they can see that one.

It.

Happy to see so many wonderful devotees here tonight.

This ceremony was scheduled for me to start at eight or two hours late. I was suggesting yesterday that we should have all the interviews for the initiations and everything the day before. But they said to facilitate the People who were working, they handed the same day. But then today, because many other people also wanted to see me at that time. Important people. So then everything got delayed a couple hours.

This.

Something to keep in mind for the future that we could have all the interviews and everything done the day before. So we can don't have to keep on time.

Please try to not knock over the things.

If anybody's going to give, darling, give.

It now, later on I won't receive.

The most essential thing to make is that many wonderful devotees who have already taken their purification mantras already heard about the 10 offenses. They are taking a new commitments in their spiritual life. Taking a commitment to serve Ka is something really very wonderful and special. Generally people don't do things for Ka. Generally they ask Krishna to do things for them. Just like in the Chandi prayers. There's the prayers where the Devas are asking Chandi to make the world peaceful place. And then there's also the human beings. They're asking Dhanam Daya, Batishtam Daya, Bhucham Daya Siddhamdaya, Give me money, give me wealth, give me good wife, gives me a good house, give me a good thing, give me prosperities. Then as the prayers of the demons. First they're asking for things we don't even want to mention about here. That's the nature we always ask in Krishna.

That's not bad.

Whether it's Krishna or go through that indirect way through the venas. But what's really wonderful is when somebody wants to do something for Ka. Now the Krishna doesn't need it. It's not like he's got any shortage. But we need to give. It's our duty that we should actually be serving Ka. Even if the parents don't need our help. But we have a debt to the.

Parents.

So that we have an eternal death to Ka. We appreciate how wonderful Ka is and how kind Krishna is and how.

Beautiful.

Krishnas and renowned Krishnas and all the wonderful qualities of Ka. Then we may want to also do something for Ka. And if we do something for Ka, then that's considered to be a Seva and Seva Krishna never forgets anyone who serves him. Please, can you close the door? There's a double door system here and someone is always leaving both doors open. Even during the kid, even if we're registered. But we're not allowed to disturb our neighbors.

We are living in the camp.

We know where all our living for them.

So that's why this the Lord is taking.

Some are taking initiation Some are taking shelter, some are aspiring for shelter. It's really wonderful thing that they're doing.

Now. When we.

Take a step to Krishna, he takes 10 steps to us. We make a little bit of attempt beside the Venan Kali yoga. If you think that I would like to do this service for Krishna, just think about it. Krishna will give you the blessing as if he did it. If you think that with such a wonderful facility. People been loading up on Hunya.

Not really.

Hardly anybody even thinks about going into Krishna. All they think about what Krishna does gonna do for me. So if you just think in the morning and you get up today, let me worship Krishna, then you get the benefit. So that's why some great Rishis, they analyze Kali Yuga and you get two kinds of contradictory opinions. One, they say this is the worst Yuga. This is because this is hypocritical, offensive. Keep the door shut please. And removed. Everybody.

Please come forward and close the door there. Please keep the door closed, please. Mother G are requested to come forward and sit there.

That this Khan Yuga is the ocean of defects. Means the ocean. We're living in the middle of the lydhi here.

But it has one good quality.

You may say some place has so many problems. Maybe some place in the world that's.

Too hot.

That'S sometimes not peaceful.

But.

Maybe it has one really good quality. They have really good jobs. Okay, then it's worth working there. Just like in Iraq. It's a dangerous place. But I was reading the newspaper how there's thousands of and thousands of Americans who are lining up to work in Iraq. Even though it's such a dangerous place for the Americans. They said, why? It's because they make three times as much money there. They can make $100,000 in one year working there. Where if they were in America, they'd only make 30,40,000. Bhagavatam also says that because of this love for money, people are even risking their life. So in the material world, money is so sweet. People are taking, you know, so much.

Trouble to get their money.

So.

But in Kali Yuga, this also we.

Don'T have a choice.

We're in the Kali Yuga. We don't have a choice to be in some other yuga. But actually there's one overriding good quality. Just like all these funny examples I'm giving there, the guru had a good quality that I pointed out which people would give money easy. Well, here the good quality is spiritually. You can make advancement very easily. Like if normally you had to make advancement. It would take you a long time, a lot of hard work. When Kali Yoga, with a little bit of effort, by chanting the names of Ka, Hasti, Hega, Mahanguna Kirtanath, Eva Krishna, Krishna Kirtana, glorifying Krishna, chanting his holy names of, by chanting the holy names of Ka, even a little bit Mukta Sangha, you get freed from all the bondage in the material world around Bricha and you go back to the spiritual sky. That is such an amazing, amazing benediction. As we know from Bhagavad Gita, normally it takes even a gany thousands of births for who now how many beyond? Thousands, many, many births. But in Kali Yuga give one chants the names of Vish. They can achieve in this age what was otherwise very difficult to achieve. They can achieve it very easily. That's why some of the experts in spiritual life, they said, well, this is the worst age if you're not Ka conscious. But if you're Ka conscious, this is the best age. So you cannot believe Kali Yuga. What you can do is make it the best Yuga for you by being Ka conscious. But if you're not Ka conscious and you're in Kali Yuga, then you're in the worst time. So much suffering, so much disturbance, so much karma is there in this age no love between husband and wife and family. In some cases, I have cases where families came to me and they were having difficulty. But when they put Krishna in the.

Center.

Then they had a change and they found that the family became quite peaceful and happy. When Maya is in the center, we want to just. Everybody wants that you should do what I want and the other person doesn't do what you want. And you get angry when that person starts. Arguably. But if everybody cooperates, okay, I won't do what you want, you don't do what I want. Let's all do what Krishna wants. Make a treaty, ceasefire, whatever you want. And even in houses that don't have that kind of cooperation, compatibility, when they put Ka in the center, then they find it starts to work better. And if the family anyway does compatible, then it's super.

So that's why. So this process is whether you're Grihasta.

Or whether you're like me as Sanyasi, I don't think see any other sannyasis in the home.

But.

Whether you stay at your house or stay in the forest, everyone should chant. These devotees here have been chanting, are chanting and hopefully will continue to chant. And because they've been chanting.

Let them.

Go in some realizations. Who here that chains? Hare Krishna likes Chandra Hare Krishna Harris. How many by Chandi Hare Krishna are feeling happier in your lifetime? So don't take my word for it. All these wonderful stories are testimonials. Tomorrow is going to be a big day festival. That's just a preview.

Here it's already late.

I don't know the spines. But we'll have a big year dance tomorrow hopefully. And I need your help. Jagannath Baladev Subhanjra was there. The Lego on Rath Yantra in pouring was a couple weeks ago. But all over the world we observed this festival on different days according to the availability of all the various practical practice. Just like in South India they have Brahma Muzzas and Makara festivals at different.

Dates at different temples.

So.

It'S not always possible. All over the world they have it the same day. Like in South America and Australia in June it's freezing cold. So they have their Radha during December. And in Northern hemisphere they have in the summer somewhere. June, July, August. So if you like Rathiatras and you want to go on vacation, you can actually go to America, Europe and maybe you can at least in one month you can attend at least four rathyatras. Like on the 1st of August they have in Los Angeles. On the 8th of August they'll be having it in San Francisco. And then 15th of August I think they have Vancouver. Then they have Seattle they have like 4, 5 Rathyatra. 3, 4 Rathiantras. The north west of the United States and north west of west of Canada.

Like that in a year sometimes I.

Attended as many as 25 ran tantras. I like Ran Tantra. So when they ask me please come for Ranth Yantra, I think that's a special Jagannathura. You only get one Radiantra a year. Well, two rats and ultra rats. But here we have rats all over the world. In Malaysia they have about 25 radcantras. In your distant Malaysia, every Namahajan city in the Gulf, this is the. We had one in Mathura Desh where.

We have in Balaram base.

So it's really nice. We're having this Rathyatra. It's a festival of bringing Jagannath back to Vrindavan. So everybody's helping. It's a unification festival. Krishna officially is going to Guru Kshetra to meet with his brother with his devotees. Arjuna Lustere is Kissima. That means anti Punti. Actually the Bajrasi is also going to Kurukshetra to me. So it's a big reunion festival. So usually there's a lot of devotees that come. So there should be a lot of people coming. Many people that might not come to your regular programs. So it's good to have a crew.

Of people when you're getting the names.

Down of the new people that are coming so that they can regularly participate participate in your programs. In the future we'd like to have our own hall as big as the Rathyatra hall or bigger event that will be at tomorrow.

A dream.

We will have regular weekly functions where we're not all patched up.

We have to worry about who's opening the door.

We can have such a sound system, that's not an issue. Have such a parking place, that's not issue. Be away from the neighbor itself. The Jagannath means everything's possible. So once you do something to please the Lord, everyone who pulls their rods they get.

Deliver.

But in Jagannath Puri it's very difficult also to pull the rods.

One of my disciples.

Was at the.

Puri Rath after this year and he.

Grabbed a rope.

And then they pulled it and went ahead so quickly that.

Somehow he got knocked down.

And then because the rock just keeps moving. In fact, the English word juggernaut which means irresistible force comes from the word jaggernaut. It was an English term. This wrapped his moose and about four.

Or five people stepped on him when.

He was almost going to be maybe fatally injured. And so pull them up.

So it's really difficult to even get.

To touch the rope in Puri.

We hope here tomorrow.

In fact we're going to have facility where sometimes the men can pull, sometimes the ladies can pull. Sometimes the children will be able to pull. All the kids looking forward to pulling Jagannath tomorrow. Which kids are looking forward to that? Some big kids tonight. Most ladies are looking forward to pulling gender night. They're not looking forward to playing Jack was Men are looking.

Floor.

Shut please. So this is a wonderful festival. I explained also to this wonderful festival.

We get the Polaroid, the servants and other Rathi yatras.

Usually they start at 2 o' clock.

And by.

3, 4, 5, 6 somgari until sunset. But here, this is the only Rathyatra.

I ever heard of.

Starts after Mangalariti. Goes all morning until noon. Then there's almost noon. There's classes, there's a bolariti. Then there's heart pulling. Goes all afterwards. Second night he was very much the even at 40, he only by the time he gets on his chariot this Time to pool. It must be at least two in the afternoon, right? So getting special resting all day long.

You can pull that?

Yes. Sweet. So.

Therefore I thought because it's going to be a big day tomorrow. Everybody's needed for the Pune. So I'll enjoy class here and we'll start with the ceremonies. You want to start with the first half marriage.

9Th of July, 2004. Nam.

Who wants to understand Hindi? Those who like to understand another language so they can make some rupees. Somebody can read your mind.

Ocean is impassable. Actually everyone is suffering within this material world due to ignorance. Every day we see that a person without knowledge commits some criminal act, is later arrested in punishment despite the fact that he actually may not have been conscious of his sinful acting routine. Such ignorance prevails throughout the world. People do not consider how they are risking their lives in an attempt to have holistic sex life, kill animals to satisfy their tongue, enjoy intoxication and gamble. It is very regrettable that the leaders of the world do not know of the effects of these sinful activities. They are instead thinking things very easily and are succeeding in making the ocean of nations wider and wider. Opposed to such ignorance, full knowledge is the greatest achievement within this material world. We can practically see that one who has sufficient knowledge to save from many dangerous pitfalls in life. As stated in Bhagavad Gita 7:19. When one actually becomes wise, he surrenders unto the supreme personality of Godhead. Vasudeva Sarvaniti Sarmahatma Sadh. Such a great soul is very rarely to be found. Zasti Buddhiman Vektihai Dubran Viktihai Bhagavan C Charanko Atma Samarman Kurta Hai. This Krishna consciousness movement is determined to open wide the eyes of so called leaders who are full of ignas and thus save them from the many pitfalls and dangerous conditions of life. The greatest danger is the danger of getting a body more than that of a human being. It was with great difficulty that we attained this human form of life just to take advantage of this body and re establish our relationship with the supreme personality of Gandhi and Govinda. Lord Shiva advises however, that those who take advantage of his prayers will very soon become the bodies of Lord Vasudeva and thus will be able to cross the ocean of nations and make life perfect. These are Gyani Bhagawan, Shiva Bhagavan Kishtako and Gita Bhajan Arpan Kia. So we're here today for the Rathyatra festival. Rathyatra festival means we're carrying Krishna, Balaram and Subadhya in their chariot. Abhijacha. My serving Lord Jagannath like this. You get all the mercy through serving Jagannathamudev and Subaddha. What? Because we have said we are born in ignorance. We need to move from the ignorance to the light. Ignorance is that we think we're the body and we think we're independent. And real knowledge means that we know that Krishna is Bhagavan, his supreme Lord. They are one supreme Lord. Eklesha Krishna. Krishna is the Lord of one supreme Lord. Everyone else is his servitor, his expansion. He is the original. He is the supreme. So if you directly are serving Krishna then your life is a success. Bhagavad Seva, Saint Jeevanta Sahulpata. There is no higher blessing you can get. When Krishna came to this earth 5,000 years ago, he was available to get his starshot. People could see him. Now people are very eager to see movie stars, sports players. If there's a function and some famous movie stars are there, lots of people will come. But in the Dharpur Yuga, when there was a function, they didn't invite movie stars. They invited Krishna all around Subhajra. So people could see directly Krishna. But what's more important, to see Ka or to see Movista. And in order to see Krishna, their function was so great that from other planets Indra was coming. Bayou Dev. They are all coming from other planets. Sagni Dev. The Devas are coming. You see, some people like to call this Hindu mythology. It's not a myth. This is the history. Hindu is history. Indian history, world history. Our civilization was so much developed spiritually in India that they are visiting us from other planets. The Devas. Even the common man could see Indra, the wider father with the movie star. And they can see Indra and Rama and Krishna. But now people, they don't have what's really important. They forgot that's what's called ignorance. They don't know that how important it is that they can. In the human form of life, they can actually achieve pure perfection. They can get all the happiness. They can get free from all kinds of suffering. They can get back to the spiritual world. They can develop the highest spiritual happiness. Parvana, Milzahai, Bhagavanka, Seva, Dwaram. This is the wonderful things. And so much more one gets by serving the Lord. So Kishta is so kind. He made this journey 5,000 years ago. That time he was being pulled by horses. But now in Kaliyuga he is making this journey and his ruts also. But he is being pulled by you. Now you become horses for Krishna. How many? Like being horse for Krishna. This is the wonderful thing. You can pull Krishna. You can take his horse. And he'll never forget that this devotee pulled me. When they're in trouble, I will pull the devotee. Krishna will pull you. You're pulling him to Vrindava. He is pulling you back. To every step we take to ka, he takes 10 steps to us. He's more eager that we go to him, that he are to go. But if we make a little effort, then he is very very happy with us. And when she is a bowl for Sunday night. So Chaitanya Mahaprabhu used to participate in this Rath Yatra festival. Dancing and chanting. During the Rath Yatra festival in Pochakannath Puri, many different dramas are going on many pastimes. One thing was the King of Puri, the King of Orissa Prataruta Maharaj. He wanted very much to talk to Lord Chaitanya to meet him face to face. But Lord Chaitanya would not allow him. He said, I don't want to be contaminated by meeting a worthy person. Like the King is sometimes a worldly person.

So I don't want to take any risk. I'm a Sanyati, that's why.

So I won't see him. So then the king was very frustrated. And he was even thinking whether he should commit suicide or not. The Lord Chaitanya heard his own bad and he sent him a cloth remnant and blessed his son. But still he wouldn't see anything. Then the king has a role in Jagannath Puri that he sweeps the the road before Lord Jahunah Ra. Even to this day the descendant of King Pratap Rudra the Gajapatima arise. He goes every year. And he with a golden groom he does this sweeping seva before the Lord. So when Lord Chaitanya saw that the king who is the owner of the royal throne, he is doing a humble service before the Lord, he became very pleased. And he decided that he wanted to give that blessing to that King Punjab Rudrakram. At the same time he did not meet the king. So how to do it? You may be thinking how can I get mercy on Krishna?

But you can't figure out.

But if you think how I can serve Krishna and you serve the Lord in a way that he's pleased, then he'll figure out how to give you the blessings. So the King Pratap Guru drove first of all from his palace. He could see Lord Shaitanya dancing. Chaitanyama's followers had made seven Kirtan parties. Sakitan, Dol, Banaya, Mahabhukaru. Normally he could see that in the groups they didn't have video replay. They didn't have any way to see that. Even the other people were thinking they could only see one Lord Chaitanya. But the King could see all the seven and one or two other great devotees. They could see all this happen.

Like Sarva, Mummabad, Acharya.

Then he told them, when I am seeing, how is it possible? There's 1, 2, 3, 4. Chaitanya Mah gave you a special blessing. You could see this. Now you understand. He is Bhagavad Chaitanya Mahu is Krishna. Jagannath is Krishna. The Jagannath is Daru Brahma and Chaitanya Mahmu is Cholavaramma is moving. Chaitanya Marv is in the mood of Ranilani and Jagannath is Fishta in his own mood. So sometime Lord Shaitani would go behind the rock to see whether is Jagannath noticing me or not? Does he care about me? So the reciprocate as soon as Lord Chaitani goes out of the side. Chahina trust up. He doesn't go forward. Loy Chaichani goes forward. Jagannath goes forward. Chaitanyama goes back.

He stops.

One time Jagannathra completely stopped. They tried to get the rod to move. All the big muscle men were pulling. The rod wasn't moving. They brought elephants. Elephants were pulling screaming. But they couldn't move their rods. Rods not moving. They don't know what the Lord Shaitan Imam said. Leave down the ropes. But by the holy chant get down before the rod. So then he went in the behind with his head on around. No hand, just lean a little forward and around went forward. After the Raj was reaching about midday and everyone was offering the offerings to Jagannath that he just offered Bhoga to Jagannath. So Lord Chaitanya took a rest in one garden called the Vrindavan Garden. He lay down on a stone slab. All the recipients dancing for many hours. All the devotees were resting also. Then the King Pratapurudrao Ayyata Rajvesh Nehai AKA Vaishta Vega Doty. He just came in simple dress so nobody could recognize him who didn't know him very personally. Then he said, can I just give massage to Lord Chaitanya's feet. He said okay. So he went and started to massage the legs and feed the Lord Chaitanya. And he started to sing Gopikita Srimad Bhagavad. Then Lord Chaitanya, he was having his eyes closed. When he sang some beautiful verses that touched his heart. Lord Shaitan said, I don't know who you are, but you've given me the jewels. Some wonderful verses from Srimad Bhagavatam. But I am a poor mendicant. I am a Sanyasi. I have nothing to give you. So all I can give you is one hug. I don't know who you are. He is just dressed like a Vaishnava. Then he put his hands around and blessed him. This was the full desire of the king was fulfilled. And Lord Shaitan didn't see a king. He only saw Vaishnava. I don't know who this is officially. So if you want to. How many want the mercy of Bhagavan Sri Krishna? The secret is to serve Him. That's the transcendental knowledge. When you serve the Lord, he gives you so many investments. The more humble we are going to, the humble servant is pulling the chariot. We want you all to enjoy this opportunity to serve the Lord. Pull the Lord, serve him. In Mathura days they have Raj Yatra like this indoor Rath Yatra. But their hall is bigger. Three, four times bigger than this. 5,000 people can pull the rock at a time. I think here less than a thousand. I was not at one time. But they can be in the hall at a time.

It's pretty big hole.

But they are rock is only from five till six, 31 and a half hours. They go around this one. So you're going to have to explain the whole day. So you're getting special mercy. So when you. You may think what does this do with transcendental knowledge? And this verse says that we should get knowledge by serving the Lord. He reveals himself. You get the knowledge in a very mysterious way. Magical way. Because the fruit of knowledge is service. And in many, many births the Kendava and are very knowledgeable. He surrenders to Ka. If somebody is turning to Ka. If the fruit is there, the tree must also be there. If the fruit of the tree has service to Krishna then the knowledge has to be there. The knowledge manifests. This is the amazing way that spiritual knowledge works. You are serving the Lord. He reveals everything to you very easily. But it's important that we should do three things. We should study the teachings of Krishna Gita and Bhagavad are the two teachings.

Of Krishna most important.

So by doing these three things. Pratinchi, Swarnasy, Bhagavad, Krishna, Magawad, Archana, say Bhagawan, Gita, R. Simon, Bhagwat, Mohampura. The three things, when you do together, they may help each other.

If you chant and you can understand what you read.

If you serve, you can understand what you read. You get more taste for chanting. All the three are interconnected. If you want to get mercy Krishna we have to go through the proper method. Now in India, many places in India and Bangladesh also I saw many jackfruit. This jackfruit, ripe jackfruit. Very sweet, very nice aroma. Now once there was a man with a big mustache. Mooch. You know, that kind of moochri. And he was walking along the street and he saw a big jackfruit tree. And on the tree there was a big jackfruit that was smelling so much both sugar, both githavala. Then he decided I want to get. I want to eat it. But the jackfruit very sticky. Then he went to the tree and he saw the jackfruit tree. Then he climbed up the tree to get the jackfruit. But then as he was going to the small branches, the branch broke the ginger. He is lying on his back and he is looking at that jackfruit. But all he got is broken bone. In Bengali they say gache katal gopetil. You'll be. How you say that you understand that story? What is the purport? What is the. He was thief. He want to steal a kakal. Why he don't go to the Bagan wallah and pay him the money. Pay 20 rupees and buy the kata. But he think I'm gonna rob it. But he's so sure that I'm going to eat the kata before he first get Katha. Already mutsmain. Who can tell like it if the jailhead like that. Some people, they think that I am going to realize Mishta. But we cannot realize Mishta truly killing his dwara. We have to give the mishna through the proper system. That's not Guru Parampara. He goes to the guru and the Guru Parampara. Then he can get to Ka. Not by stealing. If someone wants to go directly to Krishna without Guru will katar shuddhi like that. Jack should please all he gets for his pride. Little oil on his mustache and he's lying on his back and he's getting beaten by Maya. This is not in the way. Once again we should go through the who has Krishna? Ka devotee has Krishna. Lord Chaitani has Krishna. Prabhupada has Krishna. Subhadra has Krishna. In this country we call it as a Balaram dish. Today we have Balaram here. Bala means strength. Not physical strength, spiritual strength. This is the place everyone should have spiritual strength and happiness. Rama means happiness. Balarama Spiritual strength and happiness. How many want spiritual strength and happiness? This is a secret. So we hope that all of you will be very spiritually strong and very happy. How do these verses? John? What are the three secrets? Chanting Hare Krishna Worshipping Krishna. Studying Krishna's teachings. Worshipping and serving come together. We want to thank all the DeLorean for their participation in Rathyatra. How many are having fun? Spiritual happiness Please. This is our secret. Jahari crystal Turkish style. The naturalist now is trying to take this Tapasara. This is what Bhakti Tapasya is any Tapasya this is. Although this is considered a Yalgya but it's such a Yagya that everyone is happy, nobody is sad and everyone gets the supreme knowledge. And they cross over the ocean of Neshayam. This verse is in Srimad Bhagavad. Like the whole, this human form of life is like a boat. A Jahas to cross us over the ocean, one ocean. Bhava Saga Ocean of birth and death to Bhava Saga Paravaka is Manam Saridhiya A Manav Sharya said Maji AK Captain Lakhtai Captain Konhai Madhav Guruji. The Guru guides us how to cross over this ocean by doing devotional service. By Krishna's mercy, the whole ocean becomes Baba Buddhi Vatsapadam. Like the footprint of a calf is Bhavaspagirtna Chuti Hojatai. You can cross over no problem. Vasa Padang Padam Padam Vasam other side Param Padam supreme destination Param Padam. And if you don't surrender to Ka, you don't use this body to go back to Ka. What is the result? So when all of you should be happy. So I ask Arvind Akshay for Imras also just to give a short synopsis for 58 minutes. What I said in Hindi in case.
