20050412 || Śrīmad Bhāgavatam class, Pandal Program, Harināma and Darśana #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

A recorded Śrīmad Bhāgavatam class led by Jaya Pataka Swami that teaches about the role of pure devotees (tīrthas) and holy places as gateways to Krishna, recounts stories of incarnations and sages (Rama, Vasishta, Indra), and emphasizes Bhakti Yoga—particularly chanting and hearing—as the most accessible path in Kali Yuga. The lecture contrasts material and spiritual conceptions, explains why association with saints and pilgrimage sites is potent, and stresses practical devotional service over mystical powers.
They can awaken one's consciousness to the absolute truth. So pure devotees are also known as Tirithas. But they're also pure. They can awaken people to dance virtual. What are the names? The meaning? Like the word Harry you are. Is the Lord. Who Mari or Lord and Dwarven. The Lord. Somebody Dwar. So the spirit of Olita also. I can't. They're also a doorway to take us back to Krishna. Because they've already awakened their desire to hear about the Lord's glories. The Lord has purified their hearts on the desire for material joy. They are hasting spiritual happiness. That's why it's so important to hear the messages of the Lord. This is. Everyone sit back at a book table. And a table. Big book table. So many books. They asked if we had any book about. We know that who came here. He was visiting the holy places. In part of us. The greater the holiness of Krishna. These are the gateways to the holy temples that are in the higher Himalayas. The origins of the sacred rivers. Like. Just like the normal in our lives. We also need a normal for the Western people. We didn't have too much idea about reincarnation or paranormal. What was the purpose of life or that there was a spiritual world beyond the channel bones. Where can we come from? But there's a supreme personality of Godhead who is transcendental to this material world. Has got all transcendental qualities. Sometimes because we suffer in the material world and we think that spiritual world must be impressive or the opposite of the material world. The material world has relationships and qualities and somehow these causes suffering. So then the material world must be the opposite of the spiritual to spiritual. Must have no quality, no personality and only the lighter conscience. We understand from the Shema Bahu eternal that the absolute truth is in three forms. As the person polite, as the super soul. In everyone's heart. It also has the supreme personality. Absolute worlds. So sometimes the Lord comes down into this material world that is called an avatara or incarnation. And he comes to deliver his devotees. So along this safari tour, we've been visiting different places where the Lord incarnations have their pastimes. First we started off from Lianpur, which is where Mochitel Mahabhu appears into this world as well, along with his associates. Then we went to Ikechaka, which was where Niti and I lived here. So we had a fish in Balramp or Italian. We went to their appearance places and took their blessings. Sometimes it's not possible to see how it's not the big difference in these places. Some places have beautiful temples. Some places are because of the temples there. It's very easy to feel, okay, this is the holy place where there's a big monument for some places that are doing very humble. But from the scriptures we understand that the places are holy place where the Lord appears anywhere where the Lord appears in a certain area around them. Usually Arabians of a circumference of 32 km. Diameter of 10 crochets, which is about 3 km, 30 km. Then there's the greater, that's like the corridor. There's a greater area which is 84 Kosha, which is 168 miles which is figure out like 6 km from land, 250 or something. So there's a whole area wherever the Lord appears, which also has not sons spiritual energy. The people watching the end with the war there like a gateway where it's easier to connect. Sometimes people live in holy places. There are people that live there who are not very holy. Sick activities, just never sick. Some of the secondary people listening to the radio to find out who's winning the cricket match. So although they're in our holy place, their mind is focused on sports. I will give other comments. What some people, not everybody is at the same level of spirituality. Even though they may wear the dress of a spiritual person. Generally respect the dress of wearing the dress of a spiritual person. To actually accept someone as a spiritual master or spiritual authority, they should also have the character they should be attached.
To.
Service of the Lord. It's just that we can't tell a saintly person by looking at them. We have to tell a saintly person by hearing them who has gone to the spiritual masses. She can also see by their activities, whether the ants or according to the teachings that they speak, one should practice what they preach. So in the ancient Vedic era is 5,000 years and before the saintly people that were visiting these places or living in these places, they were so single because they actually practiced what they were teaching. They were very high character personalities because of their austerities, because of their yoga practice, they became very calm. They could do amazing things with their power. Nowadays to do those kind of austerities is very difficult. There's a shortcut to being spiritually powerful. And that's that if one serves the Lord directly. There are very high level kinds of service. Like by chanting mantras, by hearing his message, by performing the Vedic worship during night practices of devotional service. By doing those high level intimate personal services for the Lord and for His Devotee his pure devotees, then one is able to get the potency and the protection from the Lord. Shantabhupada mentions that if somebody takes it up as their duty to serve the servant Lord Krishna, then Krishna reciprocates. And he promises to reciprocate without anyone approaches him. So that he reciprocates. And since you saw that person has taken up the responsibility that serve him, he takes on the responsibility to protect and anoint. We may not be able to do much service just by trying to do service for the Lord. Therefore we are able to attract the mercy of the Lord. There was we visited the places of word Rob eventually that was sad to see the bird places in such a security situation. They say different appearance places, Ilya situations.
And.
Because historically during the Mughal period many of the original temples were torn down and some places mosques were built in their place. So there may be a very little space left for any monument to the original incarnation. It's kind of a sectarian is something that is an obstacle to real spiritual development in the world. We need to have more of a universal respect and appreciation for all the religions, not just one religion as the only way to achieve perfection. Just like we respect the practitioners of any religion can make some spiritual progress. God saying here in the universal is not always shared with others. It says in this first problem, it says that someone who is representing the Lord to awaken the people to their spiritual relationship with their supreme personality known as gurus or prophets or sons of God, but sometimes as incarnation. Generally they're not known as incarnations. They are devotees of the Lord and they're known as empowered devotees of the Lord or sons of God or prophets. So they're the ones who reveal to the world the message of the Lord. And they're very dear to the Lord. So somebody takes his service or assisting Sakshary devotees to reveal the message without offending people that may follow us on other behalf. In this way they become also very dear to the Lord and they can.
Get.
Very quickly advanced. There was we went to Namdi ground where Bharat Maharaj was waiting for Ram to come back. 14 years of exile. And there was a temple to Vasishtamuni who was one of the Brahmarishis, a great Brahma Rishi, the different levels of Rishis or sages. Then another place we saw that Mr. Vidra took the young boy's Ramad Lakshman and how they destroyed different demons who were disturbing the sages from their meditation.
And from their spiritual practices.
So these Two personalities have a long history. The Sista was directly a Brahmarshi. That's the highest level of faith. To get the power directly from what? Rama, the creator of the universe. Bishop Hitchhike he was a Shaji. He was a warrior. He was one of the most powerful warriors in Japan. Came up against a Brahman and he didn't want to accept the Brahman. The Brahman by his mystical power was able to tell the deep. So that this was being the most powerful warrior physical home. Then he decided he wanted to become a Brahmana. To be a Brahmana of the Pirates of Allah Guru more than a church, more than a warrior. So he was a great king oriented Brahman. Then he started to gusya stare to experience his till he had enough Buddha from all pronounces on his very that he was recognized as a Rama. So you can change who you are by virtual activities. That's how MOG got into a Rama with Vasishta. The Srishta is a much higher, more powerful Brahman is a Rishi Brahman. But it's a Rishi more powerful than Rama. The sages are like the professors of the Brahma. So he had been beaten by Vasishta. Next he decided that he wanted also become Orishi. So then he recognized the Rishi. But again he got into a kind of a conflict with Rishishta. They found out that higher than the Rishi is the Mahavish. So then he just walked. Then as the Maharshi Inra was one of the angels in charge of running the universe. As many God he runs the natural conscious of the universe. He started to get worried about this Shishta that is behind our power from the universe. So he sent a very beautiful angel, female angel to distract him from his meditations detours for a little bit. And this lady had a girl child. Then he got back into his surrogate heaven. I want to go to celestial path. By his mystical power transfers him to the celestial planet of Buddha. He walks into Indri Loka. Indri Loka says, you know, glory, you're an angel. How are you king? And he said Bishop leader sent me out here. He said, oh you. So he's like Indra being the Lord of angels of celestial beings. He's got a lot of power. Where Mr. Indra's power was built up from his. So it's battery draining now. Like a battery came up with an idea. I'll just create a separate header for my by this sutra put up over there. That became very confusing and Division. So that if you're being together, you'll take your order through guide. Please wind up your duplicates. Anyway, after so many deaths fighting some more fights with Vasistha. Finally this Hindi trick reached the level of a Brahma Rishi who directly said now has connection with Brahma. Then he went to speak to Vasishtha. Congratulations. Now you've reached the highest level of Rishi Yogi. Now you have no machines. One thing I want to warn you. Don't think that we are the head. There's someone who has more power than me. This is high as you can get by doing austerities and cannons. But we have to be careful for the devotees of the Lord. They don't do all the taxes and austerities. But because they're serving the Lord. The Lord who is the power out is the original power is the supreme power. He mercily protects this. So if you run into some problems with them, then unlimited prophecy the Lord has remained which you cannot repeat. Being in the belonging of the Lord is something very special. That's the word this power is Bhakti Yoga is not very well understood. Mystic yogis. They are very attracted by the mystical powers. But there are a few people that conclude that kind of handsome austerity of Donji. Such a level of specific power. But the power of IP is much more powerful and much more direct. And that's very quick. But the devotees don't want to use the power just for their personal sense.
Of.
Sometimes their hidden powers and keep them spirit. The devotees are always feeling the direct connection with the Lord. Yoga ultimately means to connect. So Vaakri is the means of connecting. Recommended for this age. There are some places where the Lord is more relatively accessible. Just like the Gyanches is considered to be very special. Because the spiritual water that's outside the universe which all the planets are floating. Only memorandums of the universes are floating. Entered into the universe. Mapped out to the different dimensions as the Ganges. The higher Paris is known as Manakini. And this range is known as. So it's a way where people can get a direct contact with rose by being. But it may look like ordinary water. And it has got the spiritual ability to awaken us, to purify us. We're reading the verses and get to many times. Have you believed in the Genji suggestion of your pure channel. Also mentions world by the Torah that he's a living holy place by even a short association with him. Often getting his neck which would take dominic paths. And again having association With a spiritual person. Those people who had association with me, they were awake very easily. And he was able to awaken and enlighten many devotees throughout the world. So he described this one verse association of the association with affairs and monti even a moment association with.
Spirituality.
Also as we go to a holy place, we should see the people that live there. And trying to get the people that are there spiritual instructions from. Of course, in the south faces where it's difficult to find who is the real Holy ghost. We don't generally come to our temples in yerusha because there's more devotees in the holy place. But since so many people around the world are attracted to the for that people for the preaching purpose. It is good that we have this transception of the center. Then the other sad thing is that many of our holy place we have in some of these.
Holy places.
We're not oriented to helping the foreign businesses in their spiritual life. We saw that people that are listening they're very attractive. We have a group with over 40 nationalities. So that people know where all the different anxioma they can also get benefit of process of life. So one lady, she arrived at the airport. She had to link it for two years in tatu Sherry practicing. She had expertise. Then her guru died, passed away. And so she was going back to Switzerland. So yes, the bodies of her taught her how to do the mantra yoga, how to do the change in the mindset. And in two days of chanting mantra. She says that I feel more spiritual energy in these two days than after two years of practicing the adeloma. Then I talked to prayer Lord after about three, four days. And he said, how can it be so easy? I had to work hard in the end to struggling to wait life. It's too easy that you people just chant mantras and very quickly you're making advancement. I had to do. I had to stretch all my muscles. It took a lot of difficulty, a lot of the pain before I could get any piece of mind. The Shivas had this doubt that it's too easy. Today that may be easier in the sense that the practices are easy. But ultimately dealing with our mind is always complicated. Because the mind always puts obstacles. So there's still plenty of challenges. You don't have to worry. So that's one of our goals. We'd like to see that people get an opportunity to go out back to yoga. And it's another process because actually it's recommended in the latest. The other kind of practices are not guaranteed to make full success. But if you think you can achieve success after a long effort. Whereas the Bhakti Yoga is readily accessible to everyone and especially the process of chanting. I was reading, I was talking with this one in the morning about Ananda who wrote from la. He's been practicing Hatha Yoga since he was very small. And now he started in his own branch of yoga called Atma Yoga because he's originally yoga or practice where people, when they do Dhyana, they do meditation and meditate on the super soul and the higher and meditate on the form of the Lord that resides in our heart. The people nowadays, they meditated Jaliyah on something impersonal. So they're not able to give them the benefit. Because even Patanjali, who's the yoga master, the founder of the Happy Yoga and Astander Yoga sister, he said, unless one awakens on love and devotion in the higher for the supreme Lord, it's not possible to achieve both perfection. The ancient dhogis who achieved all the infinite powers, even they had to also add the principle of Bhakti to their practice. There's a Hindi in Sanskrit, there's the voice of the God where I don't know where the verse is from, but it says if you practice yoga, you cannot awaken love of God, but you can get some mystical powers. If you want to awaken love, then you have to develop your relationship with the supreme presence. So we hope that all of you, we have perfect yogis and you also want to do that is we respect all those things that are connected to the Lord. Again, Jesus is considered holy because she is related to Ka, she coming from the Lord's foot of Vishnu. So she's called Tadiya. When Lord Shiva was asked what is the greatest kind of worship, Parvati said, there's so many kinds of worship. There's so many different types of worship also which is the best? And then how does that. First Goshiva said Vishnu, that all the types of worship, worship of Vishnu is supreme. The one exception if you wise it those Khadiya, the things connected to Vishnu, the devotees beloved by Vishnu and that's even more connected. So therefore we worship Shiva because he's connected to Vishnu. We worship the Ganges because she's connected to Vishnu. And we worship the Puris, the Guru, the saints, the Vishnu because they're connected to the Lord. In this way, by being respectful, appreciating all things connected to the Lord, you can make also very quick advance. Since all these holy places are connected to the Lord and the Lord's devotees. Therefore they are also near. That's why we respect them. So we hope that while we are here connect yourselves to the word through this process. They brought some beans. Some of it only. I have no use case.
The Bhagavad has come like the sun rising in the east. And then Sivant of Bhagavad forgive the presence of Krishna. This is the book incarnation of the Lord. Similarly we have in the Kali Yuga Skandra Purana explains how the Chima is Bhagava the Ganga is the form of the Lord Chaitanya Mahapu said this is liquid Ka pain so that the Lordis can get the blessings of Krishna in Kali Yuga also by worshipping and serving the Ganga. Bhagavan Che Sangyadev Upadesh Sai Chiganga Devi Sayam Krishna Prem Arish Ganga Sevasi of Bhagavadsi Bishtaka Premier Saks.
Finally in all.
The Vedas and all the Puranas is mentioned we should share the name of Krishna in the Srimad Bhagavad Sukadev Goswami was explaining the problems of the Kali Yuga but there was one good quality which is chanting the name of Ka Sukhdev Goswami sima zaiba name 4th.
I.
