You would have been toasted. So I knew I was a cherry. These things kind of affect me. So although it looks like Christian is just driving the charity because of Krishna's presence, Arjuna was supremely protected. Supremely protected by that.

So.

How many would like to have Krishna dry your chains? How would you like him to dry your legs? You see, you can surrender to him and he will guide you and protect you. But actually if we don't, we're going to make so many mistakes. It's not really an option. I mean, it is an option. You don't have to do it. But it's like the option jump off the cliff or grab the rope. It's like that type of an option that we should be serving Krishna. We should be worshipping foolish Matthew. As soon as we take shelter of our mind, what happens? We are very peaceful, right? Just testing, you know, you get a total distress. We want to take shelter of Krishna. We want to mainly take shelter of Krishna. We engage everything in the senses and Krishna service. And this way we get protected, right? Didn't go to absolute energy because it's Krishna's divine energy. It's like I had a one devoting was aspiring disciple. And we were walking in airports and there was a sign something casino. And he said, these people are so foolish. So before there was divorce, I worked for three years in the casino. And the only person that makes money in the casino is the casino owners. That's what they bring the business for. That's what I said. The thing that they want most about is that somebody Guinness. Because if they win, they get so crazy by winning that then they lose worse. So it's like in the maternal world, it's like the whole thing is already designed. And then it's against the odds there, even temporarily, we get ahead of the dramatic devotional service to Krishna Allah Subtrama. As such that we're bound to make some mistakes. And these great mishis and sages who are also doing the devotional service either ritualistic or pure. That's how they get in heaven. One little mistake. If it's just a ritualistic practice, a pious sacrifice of death. They can also get into victuals.

Who.

Was giving cows in charity. And by accident he ate one cow twice. And both the Brahmanas he gave the cow to demanded that it was their cow. The first one said it's mine and offered somehow I gave it to the second one. I'll give you a thousand cows, but you doing a million cows. I know anything you want, just release Me? He said, you gave it to me first as a prestigious shoe. Why should I give it to this other run.

I got it.

This my cow. How can he get my account? How should he get me? The whole world, I want my cow. And he went to the other one and said what? This guy thinks he's better than I am. You gained the economy. What is in my possession? Possession is the most important. You give him a cow to me. I'm not giving it back. So he got just like a stupid little thing. The cow got him back and gave it twice by accident. He couldn't. He couldn't in any way. They both cursed him. They were such a lousy kingdom. He's just giving charity. 100 Brahmins. 100 cows to each Brahmin. They cursed him to become a lizard. There's so much highest activity. One little mistake makes him a hole in the ground as a visitor. So Krishna delivered him and he said, forget it, I learned my lesson. I just want to serve you. What's it going to take for us to learn our lesson? What do we have to learn before we decide to do everything for Krishna? Everything under the guidance of Guru and Krishna. Sometimes Krishna has to take away all the material possessions of someone. And they realize they have no friend and no protector. This material world is a lousy place and a hate Krishna. Sometimes it takes different. Sometimes it takes different things. Sometimes people pray Krishna, please take me to yoga. But we gotta let it grow. Sometimes he has to do different things. If Krishna is kind enough to bring us here.

Satan.

It's the past time. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9. So maybe remember the mountain in the island of Gojuli? There's one place called Suvarna Vihaan. Suvarna Sena was a great king in a previous Yuga. Yuga before when his kingdom was in Ahmedan, he was the king of Natolim. But his kingdom of his palace was in a place called Suvarna Bihar. And even today that place was discovered by Srila o Vishnu Bhai Bhakti Sarasukutar.

4.

There's ancient carved stones from the previous archaeological period thousands of years before. So that king, he was the very highest king performing Karmakanda sacrifices for his children, for his.

Different.

Descendants and the kingdom's welfare. Jagad Shanti, Jivashanti, Pujada Shant. He was everything for the for the kingdom. He was very pious, moral goodness. I came and cared about his subjects.

But.

He wasn't spiritually tuned in. It was all int and material religion. So Narana Muni came to see him one day and he gave a special reception to Narada Muni worship Tammy David speech. He offered him food. He prayed for blessings. The Nimoni said, what do you do? What religious things do you do? And he said, I do need sacrifices. Why do you do it? So my children will be happy, my kingdom will be happy. Then they have only told them, but.

They don't know.

That we are brought together like the straws floating in the river. Sometimes in a little whirlpool of current, they're brought together, they bump into each other and then that whirlpool breaks and the little pieces of grass, they go apart. And then they get with another whirlpool. It's just like in our body. I was reading just a couple days.

Ago that.

Within 20 to 60 seconds all of the blood molecules, a blood molecule will cover all parts of the body within 20 to 60 seconds. So it gets around everywhere. So sometimes like. So we're all the souls in the universe bouncing around. We're going one place, every one. You may be together on this planet, another planet, being separated now your husband and wife, next birth, somebody's in Satyavoka and somebody else is in America or whoever.

It's.

Who knows? It's just all over the universe, all over the planet. There's no guarantee that we'll ever see each other again. Or we'll see each other after 10 million births. Or maybe you do that together again. So not when he was explaining himself in how the, uh. Or how what he's working for is.

Not.

Very intelligent because it's only for this lifetime. He should not only work for the welfare of the people in this lifetime, but he should see for the higher wealth here. And he said, you know that you are the king of Navadvip. Your kingdom is in the sacred place of Navadvipa, which is Chitramya. This is Lord Voragya's. Tenth is Lord Garanga's Dharam. The supreme personality of Radhe Krishna appears in the Kali Yuga in this place to deliver the conditioned souls by giving out freely love for God to everyone. So when the king Suvarnam earned this, he said, tell me more. Who is this Goranga? Oh, you see, he's the most beautiful personality. He's like 2 meters 15 centimeters high. His arms go down to his knees. He has a narrow waist like a lion's, broad chest like a doorway. His thighs are like banana trees. Everything about him, he's like just so beautiful. His face and his golden color. And he's always crying ecstasy. Tears of love are in his eyes. He is just personification of pure love of God. So how can I see Him? I want to see this Lord. So if you want to see him, then you should chant. You can chant his holy name. Because he's eternally residing here in Navadi. And for those who chant his name, he reveals himself. So that as Suvarna came, He began to chant the mantra that he received from Narada Onion. He received the mantra Gora Anga Anga go.

Sam Satan.

It was feeling very enlightened. But he was anxious. When am I going to see the Lord? When I could see the golden form of the Lord. So every day go on his temple I could chant some more. Hoping to see the Lord.

Sam.

The King. When he saw the beautiful form of Lord Goranda he was overwhelmed with ecstasy. His hair started on end. His voice choked up. He couldn't chant or under anyone. He was just overwhelmed. He wanted to bow down. He wanted to jump up. He didn't know what to do. He fell to the ground. In all four obeisances he turned up to make his prayers. The Lord was so beautiful with the yellow robes, with the lotus form, the lotus eyes and the beautiful garland images. It was so beautiful. Then suddenly when he bowed down and he wanted to offer some prayer, the Lord abominated, disappeared. What do you want? Then he was. After seeing the Lord, his separation was feeling so much separation that he just got the highest gift and he lost it. He was feeling so much desire to see the Lord. And he tried. What to do? All we know one way.

Saint collapsed and he was crying.

Then Lord Chitanya spoke to him. My dear survivor Raja, I have given you the Darshan. The vision of myself as a special mercy. Actually you are not fully qualified yet to sin. But just to increase her desire, I reveal myself. You should keep chanting. My holy hands. I will bless you that you will become one of my personal associates.

When.

I appear in the Kanaguna. And your name will be.

So.

Many other things happened in the past. Here was a king who was very biased. He was very kindly Yoga. But he somehow by the mercy of the bona fide Guru, he achieved pure body. He continued to worship. Prabhupada said chanting Lord Chaitanya's names is a thousand times more powerful than our Yeshua. But before we cheer Naira, we change the names of Sri Krishna Chittan. By chanting that, we get the benefit of chanting Bhorc Chaitanya's Holy angel carry out his instructions to chant.

So the.

Buddhimantaka he was the devotee of Chaitanya Leela who paid for and organized.

The.

Weddings on Chaitanya Manapur. The Lakshma Kriya and Vishnu Kriya association did a lot of wonderful service for which Tanya Mahapu said the feasts they offer a little snack at the Adivas which was the preliminary ceremony day before the wedding when the bridegroom's friends and Brahmanas made the bridegroom and the rites Brahmanese bathed the bride in a private ceremony. There were so many people that came for them and thousands that the Cassada that they gave was five times more than what they longed for full wedding or what fell off the plates by accident more something incredible. This is like so and then some people in the beginning some people are coming back and lying twice and putting them on to contestants. You're not serving them up. You should do them so much the first time that nobody can think to come back twice. So how certainly delivered from Highness activity which may be all that nice activity of taking birth as a heavenly planet spend there for a few million years come back, lose the whole was fortunate that he could get the mercy right then and join eternal past tense. That's super. And how many of you would like to next lifetime journey to March and time that's eternal pastimes if you get also getting the Christian's fast things. But if you only want to be ambitious bystanding she don't necessarily get much attempts Chaitanya devotees because they're devotees of Krishna they automatically get into both kinds of things. Get a double.

That is two for.

The price of one evening. We have to be focused do everything for the pleasure of Krishna. If something is good for Ka consciousness we do it even if it's bitter like poison for us to something is not good for Krishna consciousness. Even if it seems more nectarian and sweet than honey. But if it's not going to be good for a Christian consciousness we don't know right? That is one side his Ivans were so happy in Mayakura down. I'm sorry to marry after I was also very happy here in Canada serving. But when Prophet sent me to Mayakura I was super happy over there. And I was starting to feel guilty that should somebody be so happy in devotional service and maybe you know, I used to suffer a little bit. But even the suffering that we were going undergoing living in Grastada and all those things at once all seemed very blissful. So I wrote to Srila Prabhupada asking is there anything wrong if the disciples trying to carry out the order of the Guru and he feels. When he likes it, he feels very happy. What kind of hysteria is that you like to do? Well, if the Guru likes to ask you to do something you like to do, that's. That's just a good fortune. Doesn't mean you should reject doing it. Because they like knowing us. That would be artificial. You should do it. Sometimes it may work out like that and we ask you to do something. I should do something your time invites you to do something your time. Maybe sometimes ask you to do Punjab they like to do. Maybe ask you for something you don't like to do. But you do that too. So we don't want a material prophet. We may have desires but we don't want to fulfill those desires in a way which will not please Krishna. You want to be girlfriend.

Because you.

Know that's how we're ultimately going to be happy. So thank you all for your patience. We all achieve success.

Any question? Yes.

You mentioned about the Panchata. So I was wondering. So technical question is whether we should chant it after the completion each round of Japa or we got chanted one. He's asking whether we should check a bunch of touchware in front of everybody it up round or all at one time in the beginning. Oh, normally I say before each round. Although I'm trying.

I don't know.

This is instruction. Which is. I thought you were asking. You want to channel them one time before all. You have 69 channels. 16 times. First in the beginning, then usually once before. I acknowledge. But at least you should join the beginning of your chanting. Because chanting Hare Krishna under the water and shelter and guidance and protection of. So it's important that we chant beforehand of the Lord's mercy. Because our champion.

Harm. It's Ram. Yeah. Krishna Sam. Ain't no holly. Trust the goddamn dog racing car. It's Merry Christmas. Harry Krishna. Say Har. Krishna. Say Harry Krishna. Ram. It. It's Ram. Sam. It's. It's Sam. It. Ram. Ram Sam. Ram Ra. Yeah.
