Ram Sam. Ram. Ram. Ram. Ram. Ram Sam. Ram Sam. Ram Sam. Ram Ram. Ram. Ram. Ram Sam. Ram Sam Ra. Ram Sam. It's Ram Ram Nam. Ram Sam Ra.

Their association and their so since our Lord is coming from the navel of God. So after Brahma stole the cows and.

Calves.

The Brahma Biho Vimohanam Leela. And after he was humbled by Krishna who showed that he had superior mystic power. Then Brahma was feeling very ashamed of himself. And he thought that I'm already over 50 years old. How many of you here over 50 years old?

Ram.

Goranga with his golden form. How many of you saw the golden farm of Goranga today? With a beautiful lotus eyes with a long garland almost touching his lotus feet. With the bumblebees sucking the honey from the garland, flying around with the ankle belts on the lotus feet like this he saw the beautiful form of Lord Gauranga looking up from his lotus feet to his waist, to his heart, to his neck, to his mouth and eyes, to the hair tied up in the head like a Brahmanas. Like Narada Muni wears his hair tied with a flower. So Brahma offered his obeisance and. And he got up and he wanted to offer some prayers. But when he saw Lord Chaitanya, he felt so ecstatic. He offered his obeisance like this. He's going up and down, up. And he wanted to say something very true, emotional too ecstatic. So finally Lord Chaitanya asked him, what is it that you want? Why have you called me? So then Brahma got himself composed.

And.

He offered the prayer that I'm already over half my life is gone.

And.

I'm still committing offenses to you. I want to be free from not only all the reaction of my offenses. I want to be freed from the tendency to commit such offenses. How many of you would like to be freed from the tendency to commit offenses? Your devotion and I want to participate in your pastimes that I know you are coming in a Kali Yuga that I can be one of your associates. So then Lord Caitanya said tatasta, so.

Be it.

Granted.

That.

You can be my associate. But you will appear the meat eaters. And because of that this will teach you humility was one of the things he wanted to be humble and to avoid offenses. You will become the guru, the Acharya of the holy name. And you will chant 350 names of Ka a day. And this will purify you from all offenses and awaken your love for Ka. And you will be part of my pastime Saint Navadip as well as Jagannath Puri. Your name will be Haridatt Puri D. So like this, the Lord gave his blessing. Then he disappeared. Told Brahma, you get ready. As for Brahma, 5,000 years is not very much to pack his bags, whatever. Don't think he had to pack any bags. But that's what we would do. So he went back to Satya Loka to get ready. Maybe he had to appoint somebody to fill in for him while he was gone for that short time. Then he came down and became Brahma Hanidas. So that's why this place is called Antar dv. Here Brahma worship Lord Chaitanya and Garridarshan. Lord chaitanya is here 24 7. All year long, all the time. Those who are fortunate enough to see him, they have the special blessing. That's why we pray for the deities. We pray to Lord Shiva that we can get the blessings of the Lord. So Kavichandra Maharaj would like to speak on. Will be blessing us by speaking on Bhakti Vinod talk or finding this place, the birthplace. Let's give a Haribo to Kavichandra Mahaj.

It's very easy just to twist sideways. Hare Krishna Omaghyana Shivakaya Shakti Swarupaya Rupanuga variety Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur is one of the very, very important cryas in our life. After the disappearance of Caitanya Mahprabhu, everything flooded. First, everybody left Navadvip. All the associates, they died. The ones who didn't leave their bodies, they moved away because they couldn't tolerate living where they would see. Remember Gauranga? But he wasn't there anymore. So Nityananda, everybody and the Nunavadvi popped up over there where it is now. And they had the idea that that's the birthplace of Gauranga Chilabaki. Vinod Thakur is studying the scriptures and it says the eastern side of the Ganga, this is the eastern side, that's not the eastern side. So he wanted to find. So he was studying the scriptures and trying to find out where it was. And there wasn't, you know, much information. But then he was from his house over there, which we'll visit in a few days, he saw one. He was looking. He saw one area that looked quite. He followed as a Muslim village and he saw that place. The Muslim said, yeah, that place is useless. Nothing will grow there except Tulsi. So many times we tear up the Tulsi and we Plant vegetables, but nothing will grow. Only Tulsi. Useless place. So he thought this must be the place. So in order to verify it, he got Jagannathas Babaji, who was a senior most Vaishnava of the time, was his Shiksha guru. And he was very old. We've seen the pig. He was about 140 or something years old. And he, you know, didn't sit up very straight. He couldn't see. His skin would hang down over his eyes. If he wanted to have to tie up a cloth like this. And his servant would carry him around in a basket. He had a very strong servant to carry him on his shoulders. But sometimes when there was kirtan, then he would jump up and dance. So they brought him to this spot. Bhakti Vinod Thakur brought him. And when he got to this spot, then he jumped up very high in the air. The appearance place the yoga feet of Lord Caitanya. So in his retirement, he collected money. He went around in Calcutta. He went to everyone that he knew, even enemies. Collected like one rupee, right?

Per person. And he.

He built a small. Wouldn't take more than one rupee from any one person. But he was previously a big magistrate. But he went around like that to build a temple. So he built a small temple here. And later there was still question, the Shiva linga also. I heard that last year, huh? Gaur, Vishnu, Priya. But the Shiva linga, he brought that from somewhere. So anyway, Bhakti said there was still question. Even now there's people who say the yoga pit is over there in modern Navadi. So Bhakti Siddhanta, Saraswati Thakur, he wanted to prove it more. And he brought surveyors from England. You know, going by the ancient maps and the scriptures, the viceroy. And the story is they were, you know, they wanted. The disciples of Bhakti Siddhanta were complaining. These people want whiskey, they want meat. He said, give it to them, but let them do their work. So they confirmed. And then he built this temple and most of these deities. So we see the deities Panchitattva and Gor Vishnu Priya and Radha and Krishna and Gauranga. And in the excavation for this temple, they found a small detail deity of what was it? Arhopshada, Vishnu, which is a deity of the father of Lord Caitanya. So then they knew for sure this is the right place. So here we are in this place, a very holy place where Lord Caitanya appeared. And I'm sure everybody has much more to say about it we hear that story again and again again. But Bhaktived Thakur was very determined. But Krishna revealed it by him seeing the effulgence from quite far away. And so we're here and this is the Janmastan and the our Mayapur temple is the Karmasthan which Prabhupada said is more important. That's where the work of Lord Chaitanya is going on. So very fortunate to be. We get the mercy of everywhere and we want the mercy of all the devotees. Lord Shiva.

Is in the same place where the original Neem tree was. That Lord Chaitanya was born under. The original Neem tree was cut by Vishnu Priya and made into a deity. And that deity is Inaga that we go there on the third day and see that. But then from the same rootstock this tree is said to come up. When we came here in 1970 there was a grass hut where this houses Overlord Gauranga and Satchimata and Jagannath Mishra Prabhupada liked it that it was kept as a grass hut. He told us that to keep our grass hut. He wasn't happy when they made imitation grass hut. He thought that was like more original mood. How Lord Chaitanya is born in a Brahmin family. He lived in a grass hut. So that's the actual birthplace. And this here is the house where Jagannath mistress Achievanta lived. This temple was constructed by Srila Bhakti Siddhamta Saraswati Thakur. The reason why the Lord, the British Lord decided that this was the real birthplace was that it said in the Chaitanya Bhagavat that the Kirtan of Lord Caitanya would be heard by the Chankasi and and disturb his sleep. So in those days there were no loudspeakers. So if you're going to chant loud enough to disturb somebody's sleep Navadip would be too far. You wouldn't hear it that far. But you could hear from over here Chamkazi. It's about a kilometer away. 3, 4 of a kilometer away. So he said it makes more sense that this is the original place, not. And so this was a key to call the Sri Mayapur post office. Bhakti Siddhanta saga wanted to name the post office Sri Mayapur meaning it was a holy place. And people in Navadith made a court case an objective. So it became a big thing. In order to mediate that the Lord became already himself. British Lord Daven Herkramagayit she can shed some light. Because this is non different from Vrindavan and Avadib Dao. So here Shiva plays the same role as well as Parvati. The greatest of all the Vaishnavas is Lord Shiva. So he also likes to serve.

He also likes to serve Lord Krishna we call Dikv. Lord Shiva comes and pray, protects the holy Dhamma.

Just like in Vrindavan.

We have Gopishwar. In Mathura we have Bhuteswar. In Kamyavam we have Kameshwar. In Nandigram we have Nandeshwar. And in Gover down we have tech.

Laser.

Protecting all the different sides of Vrindava. So do we have four Shaita faults here? Big Bali museum must be somewhere we'll have to discover. But these here, this is Shetra fal Mahadev whose blessings we have to get. He's protecting the holy Dhamma.

Lots of research.

We heard that Mahaprabhu only wrote personally.

8 prayers to Shikshastikham which our Godbrother.

Jiveda Prabhu so wonderfully rendered into English and sang so wonderfully Today Mahaprabhu went to South India. He entered into one Shiva temple there and spontaneously composed Ashira eight prayers and glorification in Lord Siva.

So that two verses I especially memorize.

So he refers to Lord Shiva as Akhila Duga Andre who takes, takes away the misery, the unhappiness of the whole world. How is he doing this? In Sanskrit we say adi means etc. So even more in these names. Namata Ityadhi Namata. He's absorbed in relishing Panamata. He's relishing this Nama Rita of all these names of Ka Rama, Govinda, Makunda, Narayana, Vasudeva. How is he absorbed? Bringadipa Adipa means the king. The king of the Bringa. The bumblebees. Specifically the bumblebees. They especially like the nectar of the.

Lotus that is called Makarana.

And they go inside that lotus flower and they drink that makarana. He becomes Hindu absorbed. Those of you who were just in Vrinavan, you remember I told who was the friend of all the lotus flowers? That was the sun. The sun is going down, lotus flower is closing. That bee is still there drinking. That lotus flower will close around and he's going to die.

He doesn't care.

He goes on drinking that sweet nectar. So same way Lord Shiva, he's just like a king of the bumblebees. Just relishing the nectar of the names of Lord Krishna in such a way even death may come me doesn't matter. So we have to pray the Lord Shiva somehow that we'll become absorbed in chanting the holy name in that way that we don't care anything else. Even death may come.

My favorite verse why today we had Brahmosav.

He says Natro San Nitra means eyes Sri goding a dro Mangala. He see auspicious dusted. He's the Prana, the Lord of the light of glory. He's the giver of. He says Praveen, you may have some friend Indian friend named Praveen. Praveen means expert. He's very Govinda Leela Gana Gana. You might be knowing my not singing. He's very expert with great enthusiasm is his throat. You know his heart is rising up everything when you're very excited, everything rises up to the throat. He's very expert in singing with great enthusiasm. To that Lord Shiva I offer my humble audacity. So we come here to this just. Just behind the place where Chetanimahapu was born you see a small temple There is Kshetrafal Mahadev. So we can pray to him also that we can relish the names of Krishna. We can relish. Now we're going to like Krishna Leela's now we're going to relish Gor Leela so we can also pray to him to protect our very tender emotional people.

To give us taste for chanting the holy name and give us taste for.

Hearing about all these wonderful Lord Lili that we're going to hear on this wonderful Navadi Pandhu, Prakrimatrabhal Mahadevat.

One of.

The important factors of our additionally also he has the four hadacons in this world Vikrahan's form. The four forms Mahavak, Shiva, Dharvanam all of a navy Gangaya Ganga the Ganglus river and Bhakta Jani the association of devotees. We can conclude that the answer says of devotees is non different from our Ka.

This is that.

Always I came to.

This place and I have this deep.

Feeling.

Because here the the heart of the Centurion movement of CTech animal habit. It was 519 years ago this world start to change. It was turning as a Pascal Ruber in the of form form of devotee to teach us how to.

Perform devotional service.

He gave the example with his own life how to worship Krishna, how to serve Ka how to be really a Vaishnava and more job interaction. The verse of Chaitanya Muhammad who is so wrote so big. He spread his verse all around the world. We see that they are print Vaishnavas, respectable Vaishnavas. But they.

Are just.

Into your roots the groups. And they stuck in their groups. And too much into this consideration of Varna and Ashram you can be you not think like this. Perhaps in the next life like that. But he gives mercy to it.

And.

And then because I myself am here in this moment primarily my mother is defying this moment of deep feelings, of spiritual feelings. And then this is my realization. Then I come to the yoga pita. It's a really deep silly core behalf of this movement that is meant to transform this world. Many people nowadays are going to hell. But the devotees are going to relook the Vladimir to the eternal. Now with Mayapur Selma my.
