2005 || Bhagavad-gītā (1.2.17-21) || Chicago, USA #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

Foreign the supreme personality of Godhood said, now hear O son of Krita how by practicing Yoga in full consciousness of me with mind attached to me, you can know me in full free from love. The supreme personality of God has said in this time Champion of advantage the nature of Ka consciousness is fully described. Ka is full of all opulences and how he manifests those opulences is described herein also four kinds of fortunate people who become attached to Ka and four kinds of unfortunate people whoever take to Ka described in this chapter. In the first six chapters of Bhagavad Gita, the living entity has been described as non material spirit soul capable of elevating himself to self realization by different types of dopa. At the end of the sixth chapter it has been clearly stated that a steady concentration of mind upon Ka or in other words Ka Consciousness is the highest form of all Yoga. By constipating one's mind upon Ka, one is able to know the absolute truth completely but not otherwise impersonal. Brahma Jyoti or Rukoga's Parvaka Realization is not perfect prominence of the absolute truth because it is partial full and scientific knowledge is Ka and the ways to reveal everything is revealed to the person in Ka Consciousness. In complete Krishna Consciousness one knows that Ka is ultimate knowledge. We don't have any knowledge. Different types of Yoga are only stepping stones on the path of Ka Consciousness. One who takes directly to Krishna Consciousness or a guidance about Brahma, Loki and Paramatva in Ku. By practice of Ka Consciousness Yoga one can know everything in food, memory, absolute truth. The living entities, the mature nature and their manifestations will turn failure. One should therefore begin Yoga practice as directed in the last verse of the sixth chapter. Consecration of the mind of Ramakrishna the Supreme is made possible by prescribed devotional service in nine different forms of which Savannah is the first and most important. Mother Hearing the Lord therefore says to our Shiva, touch to you or hear from me. No one has greater authority than Krishna and therefore by hearing from him one receives the greatest to become a perfectly Christian righteous person. Sam no one give me a greater authority than Krishna. Therefore when hearing from him always seems the greatest opportunity to become perfectly a perfectly Ka conscious person, one has to therefore learn from Ka directly that one appeared Krishna and not from Anaboti upstairs pumped up with academic education in the Srimad Bhagavatam, his process of understanding the supreme personality of Naga Yah Su Truth is described in the second chapter of the first Kantha as translation to hear about Krishna containing literatures or to hear from him directly through the Bhagavad Gita is itself righteous activity. And for one who hears about Ka, Lord Ka, who is dwelling in everyone's heart, acts as a best wishing friend and purifies his devotees. A devotee who constantly engages in hearing of Him. In this way, the devotee naturally develops his varmic transcendental knowledge. As he hears more about Kishna from the Bhagavatam and from the devotees, he becomes fixed in the devotional service of the Lord. By development of devotional service, one becomes freed from the modes of patch and ignorance and thus material lusts and avarice are diminished. When these impurities are wiped away, the candidate remains steady in his position of pure goodness, becomes enlightened by devotional service and understands the science of God perfectly. Thus Bhakti Yoga severs the hard knot of material affection and enables one to become to come at once to the stage of Asam Sayam Saman Brahman in other words, understanding all the supreme absolute truth, Shiva personality and value. Srimad Bhagavutam 1st Kandal 2nd chapter verses 17 through 21. Therefore, only by hearing from Krishna or from his devotee and Krishna consciousness can one understand the science of Krishna. Happy to be back here again and surely, surely now this crown should go. Question that founded the Chicago Circle 1970. This year is the 35th anniversary. So previous life was in Milwaukee Chicago used to come down here to see the Museum of Science and History. So I imagine this crisis that we have. So we read that and now that he picks up on two words here one is touching you try to hear from me mom touch him. So hear from me. And raises the point that you have to hear from Krishna hear from Krishna or Krishna's puritan who will represent Krishna. We hear from Krishna how he's the absolute authority without any adulteration as it is in the Parama Quran it mentions that this spiritual knowledge is handed down through four different disciples successions. Brahma, Sri Rudra and who are you? The God received a message one of these four sibling successions. Then the mantras that you will see there have no effect. This follow love for goodness surrounding the successions that have received their knowledge from Krishna and are authorized to handle. Especially these are the four lines that you can get in the ancient especially that our new registered safari we take every year after a group of about 150200 last year before last year 250 in a lot of different parts of India we went to after the end of the year instead of where it should be. So when we finally got to institutions hundreds in the world and I don't know any of them, are many of them actually connected with any of these four civilizations? Many of them are more than Bible or us. They are very respectful to us. No respect to them. Well, customary. The thing is that if one doesn't get the knowledge from bona fide source, ultimately they miss the real point of what is Bhagavad. Bhakti Yoga and Krishna is describing here as the best means to get back to me thinking how so many foreign tourists go to these places in search of spiritual knowledge comparison. They're going into the big marketplace. So many people set up shop which is the bonifac shop which is in Tiger Temple. Dalut Rain distinguished meaning and getting certain spiritual knowledge. The Vedas also tell us that we should be very careful about Aleshnava. Aleshineva is someone who believes in the supreme personality of Bhagavad. This is like even if it's the nectar of our Krishna then it's like kidney bell which is touched by a voice in his snake. This is our cobra between now this is our problem. Everybody is talking or heli. Everyone is talking. The problem is that some people they talk about like I went to the one person he was very nice. My appreciate is people who are situated in some nice walls of ancient, some of them casterian. And he said that his guru he was the secretary of all the sons of India. He was very renowned scholar. So he gave me a note about his guru, the teachings of his guru. And his guru was saying that you must perform Bhakti Yoga. So some people think that you should only worship miracle. But he said no, you must worship Sakhara the form that God will affirm. Just like Allah and Duh. I mentioned they all got purified by worshipping God in the form. So you should worship the Lord in the form. Especially performing Bhakti Yoga. Enchanting. Anything wrong with that? No. I thought wow, this is for a while this is really wonderful. It's giving me nice things. But then I was let God by the night. Then I went beloved. Because once you get purified by practicing Bhakti Yoga then it will go on to the higher personal realization. Really nice. But the final cherry of the rasul or whatever cherry was not. Was not digestible, you see. So this is the problem. But to speak of others who are having really favorable to practice. It seems the more is that they do back to no earth we see that the personal organization is a step to bhakti yoga and some people they use apasya. It was very interesting and said I didn't memorize the verse. Said if you do tawasir, you get some spiritual mystical strength. But that strength isn't enough to take you back to life. If you want to get back to daring, you have to develop your bosom life condition. Then you get like any numbers come away. So it's very difficult, especially for a beginner to. If you want to get truth that you can rely on. You want to hear from a teacher that you know whatever is being told is going to be accurate. If you have the ny that he said, what's the point? I remember once I saw this beautiful drama of Guruba. She was a princess in Rajasthan from maybe 600 years ago who decided or who realized she had this very strong devotion for Krishnas who sang beautiful songs. And she accepted Krishna as her husband. So not unusual situation, but she's a real person. I think she's a province that she's afraid to go to. Maybe there's a 3.7. So her experience is that her path is non executive without repo we rather than the servant servants of Radha and Krishna. But anyway, she was her vedic roti. And her purpose was to serve Krishna always. That was her purpose. Besides Dharma, when she went for many many things she was red poison. When she ate the poison, she had so much vague Krishna that it didn't affect her different things like this praying miraculous. There was always a nice drama at the burning angle. But it was like one of these many of the groups who wrote it. Rama was disciple of this person who wrote the book. He saw Buddha like a strong like shall spinning pin and said now at the end, you know by is merging with Krishna, which is not very possible. We don't believe that the purity lotis want to merge with Krishna. That's for the demons and for the Versalis. They like to merge with Krishna in his Jyoti, in his spiritual functions. But the devotees they want to serve is eternally on. Hanuman was offered a blessing by Ram. Ram offered him this in power. So I liberation. And then he said, I don't want any liberation. So the version of his home. I don't want that. You are my best, I am your servant. I want to always have that relationship. I want to serve you eternally. There is a moulder where the Lord is. So then asked what blessing you want. He said, okay, if I have ever blessed him, then I love you so much. Just like the son to his Father. Like one time. So I want to hug you. I guess sometimes this is some of you seeing a picture where everyone was hugging around. That's from that past time. He isn't used too much. That they rather get a spiritual form and deserve to share the spiritual. That's the difference. But somehow it's impersonal instances. Even if they're somewhat taken with the Bible. Everybody knows that you can't avoid it. Throughout Bhagavad, Gita, Shivma and Bhagavatam, it says it is the most effective yoga. It is Yoga means to connect. You want to connect with Krishna. This is the best way to perform your work. Unfortunately, they put different skins on. But Krishna said this never said you should with me. Is it concerning eternity? So how would I know how it works? There's also a mention here for God recorded these verses. Granted the devil even in itself righteous activity. For one hears about Krishna, Lord Krishna dwelling in everyone's heart and to the best wishing of men. And purifies the devotees who constantly engage in caring in this way. Hearing about Krishna. You need to hear about Krishna from a period of order or from Krishna directly. When you do that, then Krishna builds up this mercy. So that one who does transcendental knowledge. We know about Krishna through gap that awakens. The more we hear about Krishna from Bhagavachan, from the devotees. Then the person becomes fixed in devotional service. By devotional service, that by doing devotional service, you are going to another. You're releasing your your level of spirituality. You become free from the lower quotes of dash and ignorance. Progressively material less than Everest are diminished, diminished. Not yet fully cut off, but it's diminished more of a controllable level. We can start to dump the other. We can start to control these tendencies that when these impurities wiped away the candidate who had steady in his position of pure goodness. So when we get into pure goodness, all the disturbances, the loss of anger and greed and all the lower moans, the dash and ignorance are diminished. Then we become enlightened by devotional service. We then can really understand Ka consciousness perfectly. The science of God. In this way, Bhakti Loba severs the heart of God of material affection, enables one to come at once to the stage. Avasamsayam Samadhi Assam Saha means without doubt. We understand the supreme absolute, true personality of Isha is named for the Supreme Father, Supreme Lord. He has a transcendental form of such evander eternal knowledge. He is original and he had storage. And sometimes where does God come from? So the Secret is that he is the origin. He has no origin. Something has to be the original. Other is so he is the original. He has originally I am the foundation for the impressive mind. Doesn't say anywhere in the gate as that Ka is coming from the Jyoti. Jyoti is coming from Krishna. It says. Speculation describes the Jyoti as absolute truth. The absolute truth as the Brahman Dyoti is emanated beyond this goddess. The seventh chapter B is how they all remember. Prabhupada told me in Gurdava. And Prabhupada is important literature for the vegan after the devotees. So I said one of them to be translating the future of Islamic devotees. Hearing them there are mentions that Lord Shiva he was discussing another Parvati about the glories of the seventh chapter Bhagavad Gita one of his appearance. But as an example, once there was a very rich man. He had four sons. Sidi was rich, but he was also a miser. He would bury his money in some holes in the ground in a forest somewhere. So nobody knew where his money was. People who walk on go out and find. So what was that? He buried money in our store. What was he interested? He was interested in taking money. Money, money, money. Only him was honey. One time he was traveling with his sons. One son just till then he suddenly grabbed some heart attack or something. Before he could tell, the Morgan burned all the money. He died. Now Medutas came and took him away. He said about him soul away from the dead goats body and bring them down to Yamloka. There in Yamloka they said, you are so much attached to your money. You're not doing anything spiritual so that you can protect your money. You will take birth as a snake and live in a hole where your money is hidden, guarded. He may tries to take the money like him. It was his karma test his money with higher money. He didn't use it for good purposes, didn't donate to the Hare Krishna temple food for life. Something was accumulating. So as a result, since he was so attached to his money, he was a snake carrying cobra. So then. So there he was living in the hole. The sons were trying to figure out what a mummy was. When they didn't really know. They performed all the mutuals, the straw and everything. But Cassidy was so sinful. He was. Sometimes people do Shraddha and don't do it the right way. It's the ceremony that this is the 500 anniversary. Lord Chandi performing Israel for his father Jagannathusra. In Ghana. So we went to that with the government Satan. He's also the 10, 500 anniversaries of Vajanya getting initiated. How many of you here are initiated? You're also following in the footsteps of Vajitani Mahaprabhu. He took initiation Shri. All of us needed to take initiation. The mortified spiritual master. After he got initiated, then he went back to the father. He started the Sanketamud Garadasheva. He was going dancing and chanting in the temple of Gaia. There's a Vishnu footprint there. How many of you came to Gaya? The beautiful temple there. The footprint of our Vishnu. We went this time and that temple there now Puja everybody Hindu worship. Not only the Brahmanas but the guiding of the Brahmanas. And they will be helping to do the worship. So we offer two cities and then the Vishnu Sahastranam Archanam worship for the Vishnu Bhai Budhist footprint in one angel of thousand years big languages. And we came there also. Nobody watched any scripts. And everybody was changing dancing. They gave us impressions on the footprint of Bhakti. And I thought to each of the laureates they were taken there. They also gave me a framed sober impression of the Lord's pilgrim of Christian. They had reported that in 1971. I remember there was no other. So some people do this Shraddha. Maybe they don't do it in the right way or some things, but doesn't have the same. Okay, so this Shraddha, whatever these boys did that didn't work for their father. He was either too sinful or they didn't do it in their father. Sometimes people think let me offer to the forefathers whatever he likes. He liked to eat cherries and raisins. And our days we can't even mention the temple non Vegas and the one that we offer then that's not the point. It's not like offering just some gift. We want to offer food, offer tradition, prasad and offer that liberating their soul. Because even if they don't do it, probably it doesn't have any intact. So almost like your past color. The father says living there as the snake in the womb. He comes to the grief of the four boys. He tells I am your father. I have taken birth as a snake. And guiding guarding the hole, the place where the treasure is kept. I know you did ceremonies, but it wasn't strong enough to help me because I was too sinful. You really want to help me? I need help. I really need help bad to get out of this hellish condition of being a snake, became a snake. You don't expect one of the richest men in society highly. You know, distinguished personalities in the tangor does it snake. But all the wealth in the world, all the distinguished name and fame that's in common. It haven't done any spiritual identity. If you're just a materialistic person that doesn't lead you to a higher birth. Because of his sinful nature, he was led into this hole in the ground as a poisonous snake. So the different brothers, they got together and oh, I had this horrible dream. My father followed me. A snake. I have the same being. And then they found out they all have the same being. They all have the same meaning. Then they realized it must be true. It must be true. And the first brother feels wow. They watched their food and she could stop from dad. The second brother was the third part. He really thought, let's do something for father. Let's get together and do something and whatever it takes to help him. After all, these are. Dad, he did everything right. The fourth son, he was like what we call Mundi chala. He wanted to. He wanted to get all the money for himself. And he had an idea where the father might have buried him. So he thought, I need one day install his other brothers. I can still the money and get off. They said, no, okay, that's a good idea. But I have third brother. Then my third big brother. Big brother. Second big brother, third big brother Nature. So. But he said it's a good idea. Let's all think about it for one day. Come back here tomorrow at this time. And then we'll give our ideas what we can do to help our father. But actually his intention of stalling for one day. Go get the money and escape. It'll be all I wanted to share with the four brothers. That night he woke up, his wife says, come on, give me a special dish that they may know where the treasure is. They took their shovels and poles and they went out and dined in the forest. And there they were digging where he thought the sooner they dug out came to stink. All you things are doing. I'm going to bite you and kill you. Dad, dad, no. He just came here to help you. No, you simply. You're like me who wants to just go after the material well and misuse it. You don't want to use it properly. So I'm going to kill you now. No, no. Daddy, this came. You don't know exactly where you were. You said trying to help you. How do we know how to help you. We can't find you just looking for you. Anyway. I know you people. But I'll give you that chance. If you want to help me, this is what you do. And don't try to come back here again without helping me. On the next strath ceremony, the next anniversary of my death there to perform a strat. We were performing strat, father. Yes, but this is a special S. Your S wasn't good enough. This is a special one. You have to bring a feudal body of Islam. A very devotee of Vishada. Read the seventh chapter of the Bhagavad Gita and offer the result of the seventh chapter Bhagavad Gita for my benefit of my soul. And I'll be free. Because 7th Chantan Bhagavad Gita is so powerful. It can free the soul from birth and death. So then he went back and somehow gave some Strahis. After bumping this way bump into the fourth. Let's enter some. He had some story of this is what happened. The father wants seventh chapter Bhagavad Gina to be read and the stride. So they came from the Shriad ceremony, found the next devotee of Krishna and then read the seventh chapter Bhagavad Gita offering the results for the departed soul of the father. And the father was liberated from his fake birth. And he came there in some kind of a form subtle or spiritual something. And he came and he told him divided the treasure given to the four brothers. He told him, don't make a mistake. I did not misuse it. Use this money for spiritual purposes. Apart from your maintenance. Use it to serve Mishnah. Use it to spread the message of Mishra. In this way you can also go back to M. Always read seventh chapter Bible. Then he was taken back to God in front of the voice by the Vishnu Dutas. Then about six in the seventh chapter Bhagavad Gita. That's why I heard how many here are members of activities. I hope I want to mention that there's a lot of activity. America was about 8. I was doing presentation as well.
