It's Sam.

Sa.

Sad that he's not here with us today.

Krishna.

He came to 518 years ago especially to bring a revolution in the spiritual life of India and the world. Previously people practiced religion in India. Following the Dharma, Heart, Sakama, Moksha, Chakra, Purush are the four purposes of life. Religious practices, economic development, sense gratification and liberation through religion. To get wealth with wealth, enjoy life. And from later when there's a fifth higher purpose to life which is the Panchampurush art, the fifth goal of life that his goal in life is to achieve. Krishna King we had Krishna Prema Bhagavad Krish. That's actually the highest goal in life. He also showed that the spiritual reconnaissance. This is about what Gita says Sukham.

Totam.

That it is very joyfully performed. In fact Sukha means what Suka.

Kindness.

And Sukha Prophet can say it once. When you put Su in front of it Sukha it means super happiness. Super happiness. By serving Krishna, the Lord Shaitanya taught that people are missing out on the real happiness of life by putting off their spiritual development until the holiest. Even this morning one of my disciples said that her father was quite a bit older. He's having a hard time to learn spiritual practices now. It's hard to teach an old person new tricks. And English is a teacher. Old dog, new tricks. We heard today. We saw today how our young children were chanting so many Asokas.

Now.

Those of you are 40 up, even 30 up and you have to learn until we're old. It's something that should be a part of our lives and should grow with us. As we grow to our married life into our retired life. We should have a steadying practice of spiritual life. By the way, let's give a big hand for our students. I would like to learn the whole Bhagavad Gita versus my heart. But I think I'm too old.

My.

Unfor. I joined the movement when I was 19 years old. And I'm always regretting my this the first 19 years. I feel these children have an opportunity that they are learning their sos, learning their scripture principles from the very childhood. That's something Regular spiritual practices whenever earliest is possible. If we didn't get a chance when we were children because our parents didn't have that idea then whatever age or even if we met, we should continue. We shouldn't stop. Sometimes children may start and then the adults they have a vacation for some years. So he actually gave up his hormone practices. For the modern education. What we're saying in Krishna consciousness is that one should do the thing side by side. Be responsible in your student life, do your devotional service, be responsible in your household life doing devotional service. Be more spiritual in your retirement. So many people retire, they don't know what to do where actually that is the time when they should focus on spiritual life. Because they have no habit of doing that. Therefore they are able to focus. So what we're trying to consider is that let people practice all the stages of their life. Yishai says we should have a two track. Just like the two tracks, there's a two sides. We should know the material world. We should know this virtual life. Don't leave it to your oldest age. And if you poverty well now it's your last chance. You better do it now. You'll find it easier by chanting Hare Krishna. The Hare Krishna Maha Mantra is very dynamic vibration most dynamic because the Hare Krishna Mantra is Krishna in sounds. What's interesting, I saw some study recently that even some western psychologist who is studying the main problem that workers around the world are facing is work oriented stress. And they found that meditation is really helpful. But of all the meditation, by doing brain scans and studies, they found that mantra meditation seems to have the biggest effect for stress relief. That was interesting because we're telling people but here recently there's a scientific study which is supporting what we went home all along. In the Sasa you are relieved from the natural pains of life, take shelter of the holy names of Ka. So whether somebody is doing it just to get relief from their life, strength, work, strengths or someone is doing it because they have higher spiritual vision and they realize that by chanting the Holy Ghost they can achieve all success in their spiritual life. When Lord Chaitanya 500 years ago met Prakasha Nanda, Saraswati, the Guru and Banaras of the Shankara Sunnyasis, they asked the Lord Shaitanya. He took his bishop or initiation in the manual line from the disciple of Manara Napuri. But there were no Madhwas, Sannyasis and North Indian at that time. So when he took Sanghyas, he took from a devotee of Krishna who had taken Sanghyas from the Shankara line. So that's why the Shankara Sangats online. Maybe he's one of us. So they asked him that since you're one of our Sahyashika, why do you sing and dance Hare Kisha in the street with a common people? Why don't you study Vedanta Sutra and practice Gana Yoga. The Lord Sitagna. And he explained. You see, my teacher told me that I am a fool. That I am not qualified to study the Baptist Sutra. The right sir. He taught me one Sloka in my git before he was aghastic. He was the greatest Gangit of his kind. He defeated the great Nijarika who had traveled all over India and defeated everyone else. So he is saying this to make a point. Just like Shankara Sharia said, don't do all this argoning. You hold this worship over in that kind of context. He's saying, my Guru told me that I am a fool. He taught me this verse. Chant the holy names of Krishna. Chant the holy names of Krishna. Chant the holy names of Krishna. This is the only way. There's no other way. No other way. No other way. In this age of Kali, that's assured success. Why the three sides? Not by Garam, not by Karma, not by Yoga. We cannot achieve success in Yuga by the other processes recommended in other Yugas. We need or an injection. So the medicine prescribed for this Kali.

Yuga.

Is this Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. That's the point. In the Kali Santaran Upanishad, it states the mantra. Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna Hari. These 16 names destroy all the Kalmarks, all the pollution of the Kali Yuga. Lot of pollution today. There's sound pollution, air pollution, water pollution, environmental pollution. There's also spiritual pollution. There's thought pollution. There's pollution in our chitra, in our consciousness, in our behavior and our character. All the kinds of contamination of Kali Yuga can be eradicated by chanting. There's no better Upaya, no better way, no better alternative. There may be many alternatives. We respect all the paths. But this is the way which is recommended by the Shastras. The best way. That's why we're encouraging our children.

Our.

Youth, our young adults, our old adults.

Everyone.

Chin a prostitute to Yamaraj because she was chanting the name of Rama with her parents. And they were stopped by Vishnu Dutas. They went back to Yamaraj very upset. We thought you were the Supreme. Why is it that we're being stopped? And then Yamaraj explained that I'm not the Supreme. I am a judge on behalf of the Supreme. I have to judge the people's karma and give them the appropriate results for their work. But I am working on behalf of Vishnu, Narayana Krishna, the Supreme Court and those people who chant Vishnu's name. These people chanting the holy name, don't bring them to eat.

Pray to me.

The people who are not chanting bring to me the people who are not chanting, who are not working to help other people in their spiritual living, who are not really holding shots to us. And so we give a category dopamine. So this is a very good insurance policy. How many would like to avoid being taken to the Amaraj for the final judgment? How many would like to go to hell and be judged and punished? If you want to be sure.

You.

Can chant Hare Krishna. But if one Chittenden's mood was not to get people to chant because of fear of hell, rather he was presenting in a more positive way, but different piranhas presented from different angles. But actually if we chant Married Ka, we can feel the presence of Krishna. Krishna's presence is so wonderful, it's so beautiful, it is so ecstatic. It's completely satisfying to the soul. That's why even though we just chanted for a short time, of course, before you were chanting for water. But the devotees, they couldn't help. But many of the dancing, you just feel joyful. So this happiness that people are looking for in life is not complete if they don't chant Hare Krishna. I need to chant the name someone word. That's why we're encouraging people. Apart from this ready to air program, we have some program that people should meditate and chant in their own homes so that they can pursue their path with their family. Sweet hope that anyone would participate and make their home a temple, make their home a spiritual environment. In this way they can.

Find that.

Their house becomes a place of peace. One couple approached me in the Middle east and they're having fighting in the house, arguing and disagreeing. I suggested they do have a kid tongue, have some devotees chant in their house. And after having a kid dog in the house, the environment improves. There's a magic, it's a miraculous effect. By chanting the holy kings, the whole vibration and environment feels better. This path is especially suitable for the Grihast. When they were in nature, they believe O Lord of Lords, O Lord of the Universe, Protector of the Universe. A Krishna Uttara was Jenny not for her own protection, but for the protection of her baby, an embryo. So the Parlovas and their family members they were habituated to chanting the name of Krishna. Sometimes when we're in danger, we chant the name of Krishna. When we're in difficulty, we think about.

The Lord.

But otherwise we don't always.

Sham.

But giving on top of one of the great spiritual masters in our life he was a Renasa, he worked at a job for the government. While he chanted Hare Krishna and his friend Krishna Consciousness. He was a guru working at a job. We like many of you to be gurus. All of you for that matter, blessed me had to give up Teach your friends, relatives or colleagues, neighbors, anyone who's interested about this principle of how to meditate the names of the Lord for your spiritual upliftment.

So this.

Everyone should chant Namaste. He met some Buddhists and he tried to convince him and they were defeated. But they were sectarian in their viewpoint. So they didn't accept. Even though they didn't have for what he said, they took it again. They said, if this person is alive then he will bring any buoyancy.

Away.

So we should illuminate it. This is a problem rent. Instead of restricting all paths as ways to the truth and trying to find out the best path for ourselves.

People.

I think are very appropriate. The next day they came with poison in a soup give to the ho. They offered a trail of food. They hear the Swamiji take this food, enjoy it. Then a big bird flew down and picked out the plate and threw all the contents in the ground, lifted the plate up and dropped it in the head of the guru of the monks, the Buddhist. The guru, he was unconscious, leading.

And.

His disciples called to Lord Chaitanya, save him.

Save him.

Lord Chaitanya said this chanting. In the beginning, people were objecting to Lord Chicago. Chanting out loud. Just like in Sanazis and the Naras, they survived chanting. This has always been the principle of teaching people how they can become spiritual, how they can become happy. He told his followers, I won't rest in peace until I see the people laughing and chanting. And they'll be rolling the ground in ecstasy. They'll be crying in ecstasy in order to have to cry. Enjoy. Why should the people suffer like this? Why should they be deprived of this greatest happiness? When he explained all these things to the Chandra. Actually the national commentary is not three, four minutes more. I tell you why. Because who will go? You have to give them Prasharam.

And.

Study Bhagavad Bhagavatam. These few things are the main practices. Such a nice cultural program for the children.

Sweet. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's.
