Well, today we were at Sriva's Angan. Normally you go to the Parikrama. You go to Antadweep first and then they go to it last. Because the way we synchronize with the Navhat group, they go first. The disadvantage is most of the so many pastimes that happen in Lord Chaitanya in both at Lord Chaitanya's birthplace and that the house of Shiva Stakur. When Lord Chaitanya started the Samkirta movement in Srivastakur's house, Sukha mentioned that there are many envious Brahmins who are not against Vaishnavism. So one of them there was a normal change of the guard. Since Navadib was one of the largest cities in the kingdom. There were soldiers that changed their duty. So our ship pulled up and soldiers got out. Some Brahmins came over to Srivas. Takur, Shivas. It's all because of you. You and your crazy chanting of Hare Krishna has brought the kingdoms purpose army down on us. They're going to arrest all the Hindus. They're going to create big problems for us. Russian translation over there, Serbian Croatian translation here. Italian over here. Espanol. A key. Espanol. What language you speak? So then Shiva got worried. He locked himself up in his Puja room and he started to worship. Narasingadev. Now who's offering all kinds of machine prayers protect us, the Hindus. Because of what I've done, I'm creating so much difficulty for everyone. And actually because Sivas is such a sincere soul. I believe in 10 English. In 10 English. He taught everybody that talked something to him. It must be the truth that someone would just speculate something, tell it like it was the truth, just to be nasty. That never crossed his mind. He was a very simple soul. So he believed these Brahmins. The Brahmins, they didn't know anything. They just speculated. In fact, nothing was being planned by the king to harass the Hindus. But he was all frailty. I thought they knew something he didn't know. The Lord Chaitanya came knocking on the door. Pow. Pow. Hello. Hello. Not like that, just practicing Srivas. Srivas, the Lord for who you are praying. The Lord for whom you are worshipping, who you are offering worship to. The Lord is here. He's here. Open the door. I'm worshiping the Trinity. I'm worshiping Vishu. So open the door. There. Lord Caitanya was seated on his bed or I forget, on his bed or Vishnu's throne. But anyway he was with four hands. Shankar Chakra Gana Patma form of Vishnu. He was Shivas was the way he paid his obeisances. My Lord. Lord Chaitanya said there's nothing to worry about. I told you nobody can stop the Sankirtan movement. There's nothing to worry about. Why are you so afraid? So like this. Watch Italy encourage Srivas. Nothing happened the Srivas house. There were different pastimes they were having. Only not everyone was allowed. This was a no holds bar. Kirtan Ashtra, Satika, Vikhara. Eight Hispanic symptoms. Everything shown publicly. The one day Lord Chaitanya, all his associates they gathered together. They had a kirtan. Nice kirtan. Beautiful. Give us a sample of a nice gift. Sari. Krishna Hari mad like that. The kirtan went on. But then after about 15, 20 minutes. Normally the kirtan would take off. But this time it wasn't taking long. There was what Chaitanya was complaining. I'm not feeling any ecstasy. I'm not feeling any ecstasy. Who of you is responsible to you? You know English. There's a little. What's his back? It's you, Eric. And the Lord was so humble. They all felt guilty. In the material world, if you're accused. I didn't do anything. Why are you blaming me? Who do you think I am? You know me like a defensive, right? But here nobody was defensive. Everyone was defenseless. What did I do wrong? Oh my goodness. I'm so offensive. I must have done something wrong. Apologetic, self incriminating. Did I do wrong? Shivas went looked in his house. Is there anybody in the house? Didn't see anybody. And they started kirtan again. Sam, I'm still not feeling any ecstasy. It's becoming part of so we underneath the patterns. They're very small. Who of you is responsible? Why? I'm not feeling ecstasy. Welcome disciples who are safari veterans. Give him a big hand. Be giving some association to the devotees at Sephardi. Wonderful association. So who is it that's responsible for. I'm not getting ecstasy. Said Lord Chaitanya Srivas. He went around this time. There was one basket upside down. He looked under the basket. It was his mother in law. In Hindu society, mother in law is highly respected. She is called Mother. What are you doing here? You're disturbing Lord Chaitanya's kirtan. Grabbed her by the neck, took her to the door and threw her out. Roger Tanya said who was that? I said I don't know. You must know. I don't know. I don't recognize Him. Does that look like your mother in law? Shiva asked, why did you treat your mother in law like that? You know that you're supposed to treat your mother in law with respect. She's your elder. My dear Lord. My only interest is your pleasure, your satisfaction. Somebody is disturbing your kirtan. I don't know them. Your happiness is my chord. This is the mood of Srivas. What do you think of that mood? Si Maya. What's your realization? A beautiful, beautiful wound mood. What's beautiful about it? There's a higher principle. Normal social exchanges bring in touch. It's not contemporary. So in spiritual life we have a different state of priorities. Material world. Being respectful to your mother in laws and to your material relatives. That's the order of the day. And surely under normal conditions Shivas was very respectful to all his relatives. Whenever it became a conflict of interest. What's pleasing to Lord Chaitanya? What's for the interest of Krishna? What's for the interest of his own family? Even if he's going to have to hear about it for next. Well, however long his priority was pleasing Washington. That's his special quality. You see that. Last year I wanted to take the devotees on a trip safari to west to Bangladesh. But there was so much political disturbance that everybody advised me better now. So at the last minute we bring without touching, give him a separate little breath. We do not practice such as that Sephard like that. It doesn't come out. So last year we went instead to Antarnataka. We went to Maharashtra, to Hitalo. This year I was planning well. Always every third year we go to go to South India. But we haven't been for six years to Sri Rangam. And we have with them for maybe 10, 12 years to our next one. 21 Kundas and also the other. Of course Tirubhuvanese has a new temple. So even though we went there last year, it's such a nice place that we don't miss it. So now Bhakti Purusha talks to me, giving to the punch. And he wants to take out some kind of a breckram or a safari to stay to a Ramadan. Right now it happens to me that it's very peaceful about this. The caretaker government and the police are super strict. They're arresting all the political. At least for now it's too late to switch from South India to Bangladesh. No one got anything great. Sometime ago that was our first safaris. We were in Bangladesh. There's Kundari Vinny, Nili's birthplace. There There's Uttar, Advaita, Gosais, Radhe Guptas, Mohana Does Moghanath Goswami. There's Lupin, Sanatan, Arindas, Thakur Satchimata is Jaganna. Vishnu. Place is a really nice preaching. We have more temples in Bangladesh than we have in West Bengal. 24 times over. There are like 24 temples. Only thing is, if you don't want your feet touched, you have to get swamp boots. They are very respectful to the Vaishnavas. And Vaishnavas, the mouth that touch your feet. Literally. I got pushed over a few times. Pastimes were going on Sriva Sanghal. Now Nityananda Prabhu had come. All the Vaishnavas grand ecstatic chanting and dancing. Nityananda Prabhu stayed at Shivastaka's house. He exhibited always the mood of a young boy. When he sat down to eat, he wouldn't feed himself. Acted like a dumb boy. Malini Sriva's pandit's wife would have to feed him. Open your mouth. Come on, be a good boy. Then something happened. He was a very dear associate of Lord Chaitanya, Lord Krishna. By the Krishna's arrangement, he appeared in a village while Chattagrav and East Bengal. He purified the lamp. The Lord appeared in Ramadan. When he could not find Pundaring Vidyanini there. He sighed heavily, feeling separation from him. One day, after ecstatic dancing, the Lord sat down and cried out. O my father. Open the ring. O Pundalik. My father. When will I be able to see you again? O Pundalik. So much affection was Lord Caitanya feeling for Pundarik Bengaluri. He revealed his intimate and socialist connection for exhibiting this Mahrishka. The devotees, they couldn't understand what was the importance of this name. Tears were pouring from his eyes. He continued to call again and again. They just thought Pundri was one of the names of Ka. Like Pundrig Ashram, Lotus eyes. But Punri could have and Vijay Niri could have many explanations. No one could understand. This was a very confidential associate of the Lord. When the Lord came out of trance. For which associate of yours are you weeping for? Reveal to us who he is. When was he born? What does he do? Tell us, Lord. We may have good fortune to know him. You are fortunate because the Lord said, because you want to know about him. His activities and character are most wonderful. The whole world can be impurified simply by hearing his name, Kundalini. His ecstatic appearance is almost like an Ordinary man. Nobody can understand him. Recognize him as a pure devotee. He's a highly learned scholar. Brahmin. Strictly educated. Prescribed religious principles, respected by everyone. But he always floats in an ocean of nectar of love, of Ka. His body displays ecstatic symptoms. Like crying, quivering, fainting, etc. He doesn't go for ablutions to the Ganges. Who clears himself of sins like everyone else. Nor does he enter her waters. He avoids touching her with his feet. But he comes to see if he respects her every day in the evening when the teeming crowds are all gone. He couldn't bear to see people misusing the Ganges. Spitting on her. You know, I see people using soap and things not supposed to suds up a Ganshi. It's not an ordinary swimming ball. Cleaning their mouth, washing their hair. Dirty clothes preferred to go in the evening when no one was around. Another character always drink Ganges water before worshipping the Lord. He wanted to give a lesson to all the puffed up scholars. How great the Ganges really was. He's in Chakra, Gramma, Chittagong. But soon he'll become in love with you. He also has a house here. None of you will be able to recognize him at first glance. You think he's an ordinary materialistic person. I'm very anxious to see him. So all of you must endeavor and pray to bring him here very quickly. Talking about Pundarig Biddy. The Lord got into an ecstatic trance. O my father Pundarik. O my father Pundarik. He lamented loudly. For only he could recognize the greatness of such a pure Vaishnava. Only through his mercy can one know that wonderful unique position of our pure devotee. When the supreme Lord attracts a living entity. There's no way he can resist. So Pundaik Devinidi came to Navadin. He came with many disciples. And Navadini remained incognito. And everyone thought the ordinary materialistic people thought he was a lavish materialist. Attached to a life of comfort and self enjoyment. With the exception of Mukunda. No one Mukunda and a brother of Ashwadev daughter knew about the intensity of Pundarik's love for God. Mukundrak realized that he was in Navadi. He didn't reveal to anybody who Kundrak Bindini was. Everybody thought he was some materialistic guy. Gadharpan and Mukunda were friends. They always were in each other's association. They said, Listen carefully. A very great devotee has come to Navita. You have been hankering for association of a pure Vai Shama. Today your desire will be fulfilled. Who wants association of pure Vaiva? You can imagine how Jidad Harbu felt. Became excited, happy calling out Krishta Krishna. Krishna. Krishna. Krishna. Krishna. Krishna. Krishna. He went to Pundarik's house with Mukunda Prabhu. He offered his obeisances and respectfully seated the Dinnini inquired from Makhanda, what is his name? What village does he come from? I can see his body is effulgent due to rendering devotional service to the Supreme Lord which his form and demeanor are extremely wonderful. He's my friend. His name is Garahar. He's very fortunate. He's always been detached from family life from his childhood. His external material identity is that he's the son of Brahman Madhav Misra. But because he's totally absorbed in devotional service, he only associates with Vaishnavas. He is extremely dear to all the devotees. When he heard about you, he was anxious to meet you. Hearing the wonderful qualities of Ganadhar, Pandit Vidyanini was very pleased to meet him. The great personality Sri Kundari Vidinidi. He sat like a prince. His beautiful bed was made of wood covered with intricate brass and reddish stone inlay work. There were three tiers of ornamental overhangings made of glittering brocade strips. He was seated in a soft mattress covered with clean expensive sheets and silk pillows were placed under his back on either side of him. Many small large water pots sat within his reach. Shining brass plate with beetle pen neatly prepared on it. Two large ornate mirrors hung on either side of him which he continually glanced into while smiling with lips reddened with chewing pa. He wore a sandalwood paste tilak mark on his forehead and his face was decorated with dots made with a mixture of sandalwood and perfume. As for his hair, it was well groomed and shining with delicately perfumed hair oil. Two persons stood behind him fanning him gently with long peacock feathers. In front of him there was a hammock nicely prepared. Because he followed a life of pure devotional service, he looked as charming as Cupid himself. Those who did not know him would consider him to be a prince as everything about him and around him gave the impression that he was a man of easy and comfortable life given to pleasure. When Ganada Pandit saw these materialistic things, he became suspicious. He was a very renowned soul from his early age. Naturally some doubts regarding Kundari entered his heart and he thought, what sort of a vaiava is he? Surrounded by such finery and lavish living hearing about his devotional mood I delivered great respect for this person for now I am seeing him slowly giving way to doubt and suspicion who is this so luxurious jewels on his bed? Just think of it. I have a perfume Very materialistic. Makunda could understand the tension in Jalala's mind Let me reveal the real nature of Kundalini divinity By the mercy of Ka Karada was allowed to see everything Nothing was left unknown. In a very sweet voice Mukunda began to sing a verse from Sriman Bhagavata's tongues about the glories of devotional service Alas. How shall I take shelter of one more merciful than he who granted the position of a mother to the she demon Putana Krishna. Krishna, you are so merciful. You have given Putana the witch, the she demon a position as your mother just because she faked some affection for you. So if a devotee really tries to give Sir Krishna with affection then how merciful will he be? As soon as Pudrak Bhagiri heard devotional service glorious he began to cry Tears of ecstatic love swelled in his eyes rolling down his face like the streams of the Ganges Simultaneously all the symptoms of ecstasy erupted in his body all he ate at one time like an explosion he wept, trembled, rolled. Horrific. I guess that's Shik roared, fell on an unconscious state of ecstasy Gaining consciousness he said speak, speak. Give me more glories of devotional service. Again he fell on the ground he kicked everything that was around him he was so anxious hearing devotional service glories knocking all the silver and golden pots and all the different pillows and curtains Everything starts getting ripped up. Oil, flame. I have been deprived of the Lord's association in this most merciful incarnation he rolled around and crashed her down on the ground Everyone was afraid he might break his bones he trembled so violently that three persons were holding him down but they couldn't hold him down he kicked everything and disciples stood there helplessly unable to control them. The the storm of ecstatic love was exploding and continued until finally it just stopped and he fell into an unconscious state of bliss. He laid down without breathing, stunned, totally submerged in an ocean of spiritual ecstasy One verse of the Bhagavatam Move this back a little bit. Amazed at what he witnessed Kadala began worry. What inauspiciousness has overcome me to make me think in this offensive manner? He embraced Mukhanda drenched him with tears of love Mukhanda, you have acted like a true friend you have shown me a pure, unalloyed devotee of the Lord. It would be difficult to find another pure Vaishnava like Him anywhere in the entire creation. One can be purified simply by observing his devotional attitude. When I saw the luxurious paraphernalia, I was convinced he was just addicted to a pleasure of life and material life. He read my mind as the magnanimous soul revealed to me the unlimited extent of pondering virginity's love for God. But I have been so offensive. The extent of my offense can only be mitigated by your mercy. Be merciful to me. Purify my heart. All the devotees have taken to the process of surrender. Have to take shelter of a guide under whose instructions they act. I do not have such an instructor. So I decided to take shelter of Pundit Vignidi and follow a devotional service under his guidance. I know that I can counteract all my offenses to him by becoming his disciple. So Gadhar Pandit revealed to Makunda's desire to become the disciple of Pundrang Vidinidi. Pundray Vinidi was in a state of ecstatic coma for six hours. Gradually he returned to his normal state and sat down quietly. It was impossible for Garana to control the tears of joy he felt. Rolling profusely down his face, wetting his entire body. Vignidi embraced Karadhar Pandit holding him to his heart. Karadhar was unable to sleep, overwhelmed by Pundari's ecstatic devotion. So Vagunda told for Nigga that he had some doubts. Knew first when he saw everything. But now he wants to accept initiation from you. He's a renounced order Renounce devotee. Although he's young, he's mature in his spiritual realization. Comes from a good family. He's always attached to the Ka Please. He's a qualified person to be your disciple. You are qualified to guide him. It's a good thing. Tell me when he can get your initiation Mantra. Your Diksha Mantra. So like this pandering accepted. He said that this person is like a precious gem. One take is the result of many lifetimes to find a disciple. Such as the hymn. The coming 12th day of the waxing moon is auspicious. Come here and your plan will be successful. Mukunda Garahar went to meet Gaurachandra. He was happy to hear the news of Pundarik's arrival. During the night, without being seen by anyone, Gunrek left all his associates and came to the place of Lord Gorachandra. As soon as he saw the Lord, he fell down like a rod offering his obeisances to the Lord. He was overwhelmed with ecstatic trance. He lay on the ground experiencing waves of joy. He began with a weep saying oh my dear Krishna, you are my Lord and Father. I am a great offender. Please punish this wretch. O Lord. You have liberated everyone in the world. Only I have been deprived of such. Hearing his lamentation, began to cry. Knowing him to be a great devotee, Lord Chaitanya got up and embraced Pundaring Vidhiri. He said, O my father who Quinti. Finally I will see you today. Everyone. All the devotees became to have the association of such an element of devoting with unity. Their eyes filled with tears. So wonderful was this scene. No pen can describe it Held Pundit in a loving embrace, wetting him with tears. Understanding how dear Lord Pundit was to the Lord Rather devotees, they all felt affection, respect and a sense of closeness with Him. The Lord continued to hold Purnary Vinidi very closely as if he wanted to merge with him. They were like statues. He held the divine disposal rays. When he came out of trance and chanted the name of Hari and said, has been very merciful to me, my desires. I have met a person of my heart's desire. All began to chant together, chanting this is the Lord has created him to distribute love of Godhead. They all began to change. Today is a special day. A wonderful thing has happened. I woke up from my sleep and my eyes beheld the ocean of Godhead directly in person. The ocean of love of God became ecstatic. He didn't notice anyone. Then he suddenly became aware of his external surroundings and began to pay his obeisances to the Lord. Then he offered his obeisance to Advaita Charya and he offered obeisances with all the other Laisha. All the devotees are floating in waves of ecstasy filled up and ocean of evil God. Only an extremely pious and fortunate person is able to describe this marvelous scene. Permission to accept initiation from Pundit Divinity and I said I could not understand the uncommon behavior of this great personality. So I became disrespectful. Therefore, in order to pledge myself on this thing, I want to become his disciple. But certainly my spiritual master. He will examine me. Lord Ch said yes, perform it greatly. Do not Harpanit formally accept initiation from Pundai Nini Ocean of ecstatic loving devotion. What can I say about Punditi's wonderful qualities? He's so elevated he can become the Guru of Gadala. Whoever hears of this meeting will gradually experience the highest ecstasies. Of love of Godhead Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nature are my life and soul Vrindavanas offers my humble song at the Holy Spirit who like to see his birthplace his Bangladesh Shamakund is there Radhakund Ramakrishna Goranga deities workplace temple Within a few hundred meters is the temple of Vasudev Datta. In fact if some foreign devotee like to be temple president, we're looking for one. Today we have a new initiate. The special initiation ceremony Rigupati and Chandravali Chandra Chandra Chandra Chandra Daughter who was previously Sumukhi is now Surya Mokhi Sundari right here next to you. Give her a blessing. Any questions? See how humble Pundrijni is the greatest soul. But he's so humble and so fallen and no love for Krishna. He's an ocean of love for Krishna. But they say I have no love. How many of you have love for how many of you feel deprived of not having love for we have followed in the footsteps of Pundari rolling in the ground I need love of Krishna we're so humble when they think we're so great. I was reading in Samadhi temple Bhakti Siddhartha, Sara, Sri Takva. Anyone who doesn't chant a lack of Hare Krishna Mah Mantra in the morning the Lord won't accept any offerings from him. He's struggling to get my 16 rounds up as big as 64 later. Because don't show these very ecstatic moods with non devotees watching. Just with ordinary ecstasy. Not super confidential ecstasy. Chanting and dancing, rolling the ground and tears pouring out things Gracie wasn't showing when people watching. So you can say this was a test of Shivas. Sometimes we had put through tests to show that we were really devoted, that we're really dedicated. These things didn't happen. Who would know the glory for Sri Lanka? It's not just some attached householders Got his mother in law and all her relatives and a chance Hare Krishna decide. Hare Krishna is his lovely life and soul. Serving watchtania as his top priority. He did his household and everything else. When something was conflicting with Wachaitanya service then he loyalties line with Lord Chaitanya. Not with this mundane social structure. Maybe it's not something we should imitate but this is who Shivas was. He wasn't following some kind of rule that he mechanically was following. This was just his heart. He did what he thought was facing the word Suttani. People were criticizing Lord Suttani. They were saying he's crazy. You Are so conscious about showing his ecstasies before ordinary people. They didn't understand. So then he was only chanting confidential devotees. Just like we're not also supposed to show our ecstasies. Maybe not for the same reasons the Sahajiyas. Like this was a real thing. Quran has thought of real loving ecstasy and pondering Vindhi. When you read things like that then there are some bogus people. And they would put on a good show of ecstatic symptoms to win over disciples. Wow. Such a great devotee. But it wasn't just imitation. So later it was prohibited to show their ecstasies. Because then other bogus people were imitating the same thing. Taking advantage of innocent people as many factors. Yes. Can't hear you. All I can hear is Madhji is asking a question whether it will be a difficult thing. Sounds like it. So it's difficult until she can make her husband a devotee. And to pray for your husband Live in Prasadam Sneak China reader to see. I know lady's husband was dead against inviting her prayers giving him prashad. Even if you know it. Eventually he said, you know, I think Hare Krishna is actual there. Why don't you go to that Namhat program? Invite some Brihasta couple secretly that they come over to the house and just be friends with him. But don't tell them that you invited them. Just like they dropped in Naturalist all kinds of tricks to try to somehow make him more soft through devotional service. Vrindavan Sevaki Sri ka Remember the guru touch their feet back, said Shivdamila. And I think it was Advaita or Hitinanda somewhere they were faced off. Each trying to touch the feet of the other by two lions engaged in warfare. Jai Ntai Gore thank you for watching our videos. Be sure to subscribe to our channel. We publish new videos every day.
