Sa the ocean is impassable. Actually everyone is suffering within this world due to ignorance. Every day we see that a person without knowledge commit some criminal act and is later arrested in punishment despite the fact that he actually may not have been conscious of his sinful activity. Such ignorance prevails throughout the world. People do not consider how they are risking their lives in an attempt to have a 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 taking 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. For that again Samsagura now we can practically see that one who has sufficient knowledge is safe from many dangerous pitfalls in life. As stated in Bhagavad Gita 7:19 Maharashtra becomes wise. He surrenders unto the supreme personality of Godhead Vasudeva Sarvamindi Sam Mahatma Satoravam. Such a great soul is very rarely to be found. This Ka Consciousness movement is determined to open wide the eyes of so called leaders who are full of ignorance and thus save them from the many pitfalls and dangerous conditions of life. The greatest danger is the danger of getting a body lower 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 devotees of Lord Vasudeva and thus will be able to cross the ocean of nations and make life perfect. These are Gayome Padawan S Padawan Fish, Nicole and Gita Bhajan Urban Kia so we're here today for the Rathyatra festival. Rathyatra festival means we're carrying Krishna, Balaram and Subhadra in the Achilles Balaram Baladim is Balaramaya. Like this you get all the mercy. Two serving Jagannath, Bhagavan and Subandha. Because we are born in ignorance, we need to move from the ignorance to the light. Ignorance is that we take where the body we think we're independent and real. Knowledge means that we know that Krishna is Bhagavan, his supreme Lord. They are one supreme Lord Iglesia Krishna. Krishna is the Lord and one supreme One. Everyone else is his servitor, his expansion. He's original. He's the supreme. So if you Directly are serving Krishna, then your life is a success. The no higher blessing you can get. When Krishna came to this earth 5,000 years ago, he was available to get his darshan. People could see him. Now people are very eager to see who he serves. Fourth players. If there's a function and some famous movie stars are there, lots of people will come. But in the Jaguar Yuga, when there was a function, they didn't invite Movistar. They invited Krishna, Balara, Subhajra. So people could see directly Krishna. But what's more important, to see Krishna or to see movies done. And in order to see Krishna, their function was so great that from other planets Indra was coming. Bayou Dev, Maruna Dev, they are all coming from other planets. Ugly days. The devas were coming. Some people like to call this Hindu mythology. It's not a myth. This is the history. Hindu history, Indian history, world history. Our civilization was so much developed virtually in India that they are visiting us from other planets to save us. Even by common man could see in them the way the father with the movie star. And they can see Indra and Rama and Krishna. But now people they know to have what's really important. They forgot. That's what's called ignorance Again. They don't know how important it is that they have. In the human form of life. They can actually achieve pure perfection. They get all the happiness. They can get free from all kinds of suffering. They can get back to the spiritual worlds. They can develop the highest spiritual happiness. Paramaranha, Mildahi, Bhagavan, Ka Seva Dwarama. This is the wonderful things. And so much more one gets by serving the Lord. So Krishna is so kind. He made this journey 5,000 years ago. That time he was being pulled by horses. But now in Kandi Yuga, 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 horses for Krishna? This is a wonderful thing. You can pull Krishna, you can beat his horse. And he never forgets that this devotee pulled me. When they're in trouble, I will pull the devotee. Krishna will pull you. You are pulling him to Vrindava. He is pulling you back to him. Every step we take to Krishna, he takes 10 steps to us. It's more eager that we go to him that we are to go. But if we make a little effort then he is very, very happy with us. So Chaitanya Mahavu used to participate in this Rajyatra festival. Dancing and chanting during the Rathyatra festival in Purdu Jagannath Puri. Many different dramas were 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 worldly person. The king is sometimes a worldly person. So I don't want to take any risk. I'm a Sannyasi, that's why. So I won't see you. So then the king was very frustrated King Prachamurukar. And he was even thinking whether he should commit suicide or not. Lord Chaitanya heard his own bad and he sent him a clause remnant and blessed his son. But still he wouldn't see the king. Then the king has a role in Jagannath Puri that he sweeps the road before Lord Jagannath. Ra. Even to this day, the descendant of King Pratarudra, the Gajapati Maharaj. He goes every year. And he with a golden broom 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 Ultra. At the same time he cannot eat the key. So how is good? You may be thinking how can I get mercy on Krishna. But you can't figure out. If you think how I can serve Krishna and you serve more in a way that he's pleased then he'll figure out how to give you the blessings. First of all, from his palace he could see Lord Shatamia dancing. Chaitanyamaru's followers have made seven Kirtan parties. Sat Kirtan, Dol, Banaya. Nobody 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 with the king, they could only see one Lord Chaitanya. But the king could see all the servants and one or two other great devotees. They could see all this happen. Like Sarva Mohammad Acharya. Then he told that what I'm seeing, how is it possible? There's 1, 2, 3, 4, 3 gave you a special blessing. You can see this. Now you understand. He is Bhagavad Chaitanya. Mahu is Krishna. Jagannath is Krishna. The Jagannath is Daru Brahma and Chaitanya Mahu is Chola. Brahma is moving the Chaitanya. Mahu is in the mood of Ranilani. And Lord Jagannath is Krishna in his own mood. Sometime Lord Shaitani would go behind the rock to see whether the Jagannath noticing me or not. Does he care about me? So the reciprocate as soon as Lord Chaitani goes out of the side. Shaminath rats stop. He doesn't go forward. Lord Chaitanya goes forward. Jagannath goes forward. Chaitanyama goes back. He stopped one time Jagannath Raj 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 rocks. Rats not moving. They don't know what the Lord Shaitan Imam said. Leave down the ropes that might devote his chant. Girt down before the rod. Some might give them. Karega might be safe. So then he went behind with his head on around. No hand just leaned little forward and around he 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 laid down on a stone slab. Allah received them dancing for many hours. All the devotees were resting also. Then the King Pratapur Ayata. He just came in a 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. Sri went and scarlet from Mashas the legs and feet of Lord Chaitanya. And he started to sing that Gopikita from Srimad Bhagavadasamhaskanda. Then Lord Chaitanya he was having his eyes closed. When he sang some beautiful verses that touched his heart. Lord Chaitanya Sarah said, I don't know who you are but you've given me the jewels. Some wonderful verses from Shima Bhagavacha. But I am a poor Vindicator. 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. Just dressed like a Vaishnava. Put his arms around and blessed him. This was the full desire of the king was fulfilled. And Lord she planned him to 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. More humble. We are doing the humble service, just pulling the chariot. We want you all to enjoy this opportunity to serve the Lord. Hold the Lord, serve him. In Mathura days, they have Raj Yatra like this indoor Rajyatra. But their hall is bigger. Four times bigger than this. 5,000 people can pull the rock at a time. I think here less than a thousand. We're done at one time. But they can be in the hall at a time. It's very big hole. But they arrived this only from 5 till 6, 31 and a half hours. They go around this one. Jagannath is going the whole day. So you're getting special mercy. 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. We get the knowledge in a very mysterious way, magical way. Because the fruit of knowledge is service. There are many, many births, the Gyanava. And they are very knowledgeable. He surrenders to Ka. If somebody is surrendering to Krishna. If the fruit is there, the tree must also be there. If the fruit of the tree is service to Krishna, then the knowledge has to be there. The knowledge manifests. This is the amazing way that spiritual knowledge works. You're serving the Lord. He reveals everything to you very easily. But it's important that we should do three things. Chajava, Krishna. We should worship Krishna. We shall study the teachings of Krishna. Gita and Bhagavad are the two teachings of Ka. Most important, by doing these three things to change Bhagavan Gyander, Jengi, Bhakti. No, Jengi Gita, Bhagavad Singh. The three things, when you do together, then they help each other. If you chant, then you can understand what you read. If you serve, you can understand what you read. You get more taste by chanting. All the three are interconnected. We want to get Mahrashi 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, you know, that kind of mochi. 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, cacao, both bought Gitavala Then he decided I want to get. I want to eat it. 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 gingiya. He's lying on his back and he's looking at that jackfruit. And all he got is broken bone. Then the okay Bengali they say Kache Katal. Kopit Hill. You see how you say that? Kache Katal. You understand that story? What is the purport? What is the. He was thief. He wanted to steal a catalog. Why he don't go to the Baganwala and pay him the money. Pay 20 rupees and buy the kata. But he think I'm going to rob it. But he's so sure that I'm going to eat the katah before he first get cut off. Already woodsman like that. Some people, they think that I am going to realize Krishna. But we cannot realize Krishna truly killing his dwara. We have to give the kishta through the proper system. That's called Guru Parampar. We go to the Guru and the Guru Parampara. Then we can get to Ka. Not by stealing. If someone wants to go directly to Krishna without Guru, who will Kakao Shuddhi like that? Jesuitly 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 the way. Once again we should go through the who has Krishna? Ka devotee has Krishna. Lord Chaitanya has Krishna. Bahubal has Krishna, Subhana has Krishna. And any that tell that Krishna are blessing on this person. In this country we call it as a Balaram dish. Today we have Balaram here. Balaram means state non 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? Bhagavan Evil world. This is the secret. So we hope that all of you should be very spiritually strong and very happy. How to be spiritually strong? What are the three secrets? Chanting Hare Krishna, Worshipping Krishna. Studying Krishna's teachings. Worshipping and serving come together. I'm going to thank all the devotees for their participation and Rath Yatra. How many are having fun? Spiritual happiness please. This is our secret chain. Hare Krishna, you serve Krishna. And after this love is thank you to take Krishna Prasadam. What Bhakti Tapasya is this is. Although this is considered a Yajna but it's such a Yagya that everyone is happy. Nobody is happy and everyone gets the supreme knowledge and they cross over the ocean of the Shayams. 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. What ocean? Bhava Sagar Ocean of birth and death. Captain Phonheim Sikishnai 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 cap is you can cross over no problem. What's on 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? Padam Pad Adam. We want all of you to be happy. So I ask Arindaksha Gomindas also just to get a short semantics for 58 minutes. When I said in Hindi in case somebody didn't understand then I want to do Puja to Jagannath.
