Those translation those in the full consciousness of Me who know Me, the Supreme Lord to be the governing principle of the material manifestation of the Demigods and of all methods of sacrifice can understand and know Me the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Even at the time of death. Report by shadow persons acting in Ka consciousness are never deviated from the path of entirely understanding the Supreme Personality of Godhood. In the transcendental association of Ka Consciousness, one can understand how the Supreme Lord is the governing principle of the material manifestation and even of the demigods. Gradually, by such transcendental association, one becomes convinced of the Supreme Personality of Godhead at the time of death. Such a Ka conscious person can never forget Ka. Naturally, he is thus promoted to the planet of the Supreme Lord. Goloka Vrindavana the seventh chapter particularly explains how one can become a fully Ka conscious person. The beginning of Ka Consciousness is the association of persons who are Ka conscious. Such association is spiritual and puts one directly in touch with the Supreme Lord and by his grace one can understand Ka to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead. At the same time, one can really understand the constitutional position of the living entity and how the living entity forgets Ka, becomes entangled in material activities. By gradual development of Ka consciousness and good association, the living entity can understand that due to forgetfulness of Ka he has become conditioned by the laws of material nature. He can also understand that this human form of light is an opportunity to regain Ka consciousness and that it should be fully utilized to attain the causeless mercy of the Supreme Lord. Many subjects have been discussed in this chapter. The man in distressed inquisitive man, the man in the want of the material necessities, knowledge of Brahman, knowledge of Param Atma, liberation from birth, death and diseases, worship of the Supreme Lord. However, he who is actually elevated in Ka Consciousness does not care for the different processes. He simply directly engages himself in activities of Ka Consciousness and thereby factually attains his constitutional position as an eternal servitor of Lord Ka. In such a situation he takes pleasure in hearing and glorifying the Supreme Lord in pure devotional service. He is convinced that by his doing so all his objectives will be fulfilled. This determined faith is called Dhrita Vrata and it is the beginning of Bhakti Yoga or transcendent loving service that is the verdict of all scriptures. This seventh chapter of the Bhagavad Gita is the substance of that conviction. Thus, End the Bhaktivedanta purports to the seventh chapter of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. In the matter of knowledge of the absolute, though this is spoken today on 25 January 2008, the 521st year of our beloved Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu here in the Panchatatra temple at Ljubljana, Slovenia. Go Ranga. Go Ranga. So he is talking about having full consciousness of Krishna. Anybody here would like a full consciousness of Ka? Actually here this verse is saying how Krishna knowing actually that Krishna, the supreme Lord, is the governing principle of the material manifestation. All the demigods and angels and all of different types of religion, sacrifice. If we have that understanding and full consciousness of Krishna, he'll reveal himself to us. We can understand him by his mercy even at the time of death. What happens if remember Krishna at the time of death? You see? So whatever. What do you remember? Some baby deer at the time of death. Take your next birth as a deer. It was a lady who gave something like a hundred, about $40 million to her pet cat, richest cat in the world. She remembered her cat at the time of death and what's going to happen. So it's dangerous, right? What we develop our attachment to, what we're going to remember at the time of death. Justice in the fourth Canto Bhagavutam Varanjana remembered his queen at the time of death. Next life is a woman's body. Does he remember the woman at the time of death? I was in a car accident one time. I was driving from Los Angeles to Chicago.

It's Los Angeles or Chicago with one.

Of my godbrothers, his wife and his son. And somehow in my life I never drove very much. I didn't drive much. But he had me drive from midnight until morning.

Try to take a simple boss with.

Konji to Utra facing driving do hits on the famous highway 66 miles straight east and the sun rising over the road. It somehow it hypnotized me. And my eyes opened, but I was just like Jesus. And there was one of those little Volkswagen bugs and the tires hit the.

Side of the road in runs the police.

And so my God brother sitting next to me, he woke up when he heard the sound. He reached over and swung the driving wheel, the steering wheel full to the.

Right in the protective mulan Melissa.

So the tires went to the right and flipped under and the car started to roll over seven times. So I was crying out, krishna, Krishna, Krishna. Yes. And then he was crying out for his wife and child. Pretty natural. But later on when he was in the hospital then he said, I remember you Were shown in Krishna. But I was thinking my wife, my child. So now my wife has a spiritual name Like Krishna is mercy and also right. This was impregnated and everybody survived. He had the worst injury. All the rest of us were just scratched. You never know when danger is going to come.

What in the name of thy freedom.

I had a number of car accidents. Although other times I wasn't driving. But even recently when I just went to Australia for pitching a tour to.

Look at practical Australia.

During the flight I started feeling a.

Chill in that Lehthamson.

Flood. And then when I got to London in Australia I had a fever in.

Cosmopolis.

My leg was swelling nor the mute section. They took me to the emergency and the doctor said that we had to immediately go into the hospital. In a very serious case, if you don't go in, you may have to amputate your leg in the future. That would slow down my pericraness comes at every step. Everything's all right. Then suddenly something happened. The prophet always Chainman told us we should be ready to leave our body at any moment. Ready to remember Krishna anytime. I mean Haridasthakur he left his body at his own free will. He asked Lord Caitanya that I don't want to stay until after until when you leave the world. I want to go before four chest looked at the Lord's face Lord Chaitanya was horrifying. How great animast Thakur was.

Mr. Chaitanya.

Is the few how he was initiated prostitute hero who went to seduce him and said he convinced her to take out Ka consciousness. How he was beaten in 22 marketplaces. But he always remained Krishna conscious and Krishna protected him. How we chanted every day 300,000 names of Krishna we struggle sometimes to chant 16 rounds a day. He would chant 12 times 16 every day. But someone who chants 16 rounds a day chants in one year. He would chant in one month how he left the world completely Krishna consciousness and although he was chanting 300,000 names of Krishna every day is 10,000 times more merciful 1,000 times more merciful than Krishna. Then some devotee asked why don't we chant about Chaitanya's names? And why do we just so this verse also says we should always keep.

Full consciousness of Krishna's resting Krishna.

So that's why in the process in this chapter the process of chanting the holy names is also indicated that.

The.

Sacrifice for this age is the one in every age is a sacrifice Retain the at home Vishnu in the Krita Yuga in the Satya Yuga, the process is to do meditation. Chaita Yuga, Chaita Yama, Jatamakaya to do fire sacrifices. And the dwarf Yuga is the daily worship. So we chant the names of Hari, names of the supreme Lord. That's the sacrifice recommended for this age. As a process for self realization which is guaranteed to work if you cry out on the name of Krishna. The sound penetrates the material universe and goes right to the spiritual sky. So I came in, pushed a conscious. 1968. Now this year is my 40th anniversary. I experienced many things in this time. I can share some of the realizations, if you don't mind. Of course it's a little subjective, so it's not exactly the same as scripture, but it's. Once I was in my working place and there was a. When I first joined, we all got jobs, so we were all working together. I was working to bring money to the temple as a Brahmachary and one.

Of the fellow workers fell unconscious.

Everybody went around and tried to help him, but he was really out. So I went up to his ear and I just whispered. It started to shake.

This is a truth.

Opened his eyes, sat up, looked around. Okay, I'm right now. Then he asked to talk to him. He said what was that you said in my ear? I have a problem. I very easily go out of my body and I astral project. My subtle body goes to other places. So he was just. We were in Canada at the time, in Montreal. And he said he had just traveled over to Europe, to Belgium. That's what he said. Since I had already studied about astral projection, it wasn't something very unusual. Astroplanica OBEs are now quite well known in parapsychology. Out of body experiences. Out of body experience. So he said that when you chanted that name, then I could just hear like in the distance. Hari Krishna. They get louder. Hare Krishna until it filled my whole consciousness, drew me back into my body. It's the most powerful thing I've ever experienced. It was like a reverse echo. Instead of being static, it was dynamic. We don't know. Here we chant Reykjava. Maybe it doesn't go beyond his walls, but on the higher level.

It's going more and more vibrating throughout the universe.

Met one lady who was in an operating table. She had an out of body experience. When she left her body and was watching the doctors operate on. Then she was back in her body. Later she told the doctors didn't want to believe her. But then she told some Things that happened and they had to admit it was true. She went to her church, went all around trying to get some answer. What does this mean? Nobody could say anything. It was a mystery. Bhagavad Gita explains to us that we have three bodies. We have the gross body, the subtle body and the atma, the soul. When we sleep, we also when we dream, we go out of our gross body and the subtle body. We're not fully conscious whether. But you went out of the body fully conscious in your subtle body. She said, I went to every religion. Nobody could tell me anything. You're the only religion that could explain to me what was happening. So then we got her to chant Hare Krishna. I was feeling much spiritual bliss. Once in Atlanta and America we had festival. We had Bhakti Tirtha Swami as our special guest. There was a psychiatrist who had done 10,000 different parapsychological research. He was explaining a case where someone had this out of body experience. Similar thing in the hospital during an operation. But he had left out of the window, flew out of the window a.

Little bit, which shows was he opening.

He looked at outside the window. There was a ledge on the next floor down, next window down. And there was some red cloth that had fallen there. Then he went back into the hospital room and he went back into his body. So then he explained that when he woke up to the doctor said what happened when the other's body was watching him doing the operation? No, it happened for sure. Just saying like that, just imagining it. Look at. I went out of the window. He looked downstairs, looked on the next floor down. And the window lens is a red clot. So the doctor looked out. Just by normally looking you can't see the way out. And he could see it. There was a red clock then. So like this, then it was reported. And that's how this psychologist found out about the psychiatrist. So he says thousands, thousands of them recorded documented experiences. Like this.

Religion is familiar.

Srimad Bhagavatam explains us that when we. When the physical body dies, the subtle body and atma go together and take another birth according to where our consciousness is fixed. So for Kaiser is a fixed time. Krishna, where do we go? That's why during our life we want to practice remembering Ka Especially when we get old. We want to focus more and more. Because the longer we get, the sooner it is to leave our body. But nowadays the splendid young people leaving their bodies, car accidents, so many unusual things. So here we're being advised that we should always fix our mind on Krishna. To help us to do that is by constantly chanting Hare Krishna in the he also had some experiences. But something unusual happened. My mother was there for the festival. The material mother, she raised her hand, she said now that I heard this, now I realize that I had a similar experience when I was in the hospital. I had anorexia at the top of my brain. There was a blood explosion of blood anorexia, blood vein burst. So they're operating. I mean I was sitting up and I was under anesthesia. They're operating on the top of my brain and I was out of my body watching them operate on me. I never knew what was happening until now I realize that I actually subtle body and less than gross body. So we got this human form of life. It's a great opportunity to be Krishna conscious. We can plan where we would like to go in our next life. If you'd like to be a fish in your next life, you can be fish conscious. Put fish pictures all over your wall. They know OBEs mostly carry get some fish perfume. But probably the better to be is to think of Krishna. Put pictures of Krishna is a lot more beautiful. Hear about Krishna, learn about Krishna. How many like Krishna? You're all yogis, no Hindi. And the chant his holy names. Hari Krishna, Krishna Kish Some people ask why do you have to chant the name of Krishna? Of course, any name of God, any1of5Name if you chant will have also very powerful effect. Bharat mentions in the Vedas that there are different kinds of things things of God which are connected to the material world like the creator. Those type of names, those are called Vishnu names and a personal name of a Leela avatar like Ram especially Ram is a thousand times more powerful than the name of Vishnu. In the Shiva Puran, Lord Shiva said to Parvati, the material energy goddess that Shastra to equal to one name of. So you say Rama. Rama. Rama came in the Dwarfa Yuga millions of years ago. Each one of his names is like a thousand names of Vishnu, the creator. And then also she was a chair by the name of Krishna.

She was a deprived chair.

Then that's equal to 3000 names of Vishnu.

In our quote three Kishachimi mean Vishnu.

Or three names of Ram. That's mathematics. So in this way name of Krishna is considered the most powerful Krishna demonstration in this comparison. So that's why especially it's recommended in the Vedas to chant the Hare Krishna Mah Mantra for this age of coming. These 16 names destroy all the contamination of this age of iron, coral, Kali there's no better alternative. If you look through all the scriptures, all the Vedas, you will find a better alternative. That's why we're recommending everyone to chant Hare Krishna. Because it's and said the most effective means most powerful method. Especially meant for this age. So we will see all over the world. Whoever chants Hare Krishna we're very short time they get some spiritual response.

It is in the presence me to the door. Holy Poy Krishna the crafting chances to be made to holy vigil.

How many have you any of you experienced any happiness? Bhakti Yogis. Bhakti Yogi Mantra Yogis.

Mantra Yogi.

So like this Lord Chaitanya he was spreading this message and he started a Sankirtan movement in Mayapur.

The shoe is given in Sanketan of Mayapuru.

That's where I live. I live in Mayapur. Coming from Mayapur, India citizen. So how many of you visited Mayapur.

Would you go to sky on Mayapur?

So many Almost half. How many like to visit my is like the doorway to the spiritual world could have left him. But he wanted to show that Gilamagari was also a tirta. Because of K means holy place. Place of pilgrimage. So like here. So wherever there's Sheila is being worshiped, deities being worshiped, that's also considered. He got initiated when he was going to guide her to get to do the pinning for his father when he passed away. Because in Krishna consciousness the Vedas tell us that when someone dies, they actually never die. But they go on to their next birth. If any of you have a mother, a father, a grandmother, grandfather, great grandmother, great grandmother. Anybody who's died, they're not dead, they're alive. They just change their bodies. So the name for a son in Sanskrit is called Putra. The name for a good son for a good daughter is called Putri. Pu means hell. Hello. That's a place you don't want to go, right? Means one who delivers from TRA means like mantra. Deliverance liberates the most the mind. The idea is a forefather done some sin or bad karma or something. He may be in a hellish condition.

In the door is natal against people.

For the son or daughter. If they perform the ceremony of worshiping Vishnu and offering the results to their forefather deceased forefather. The forefathers delivered from whatever hellish condition is in anybody. Have some forefather like to help out. We can set up a special yagyas for Lord. She tell me he went to perform their ceremony. Although his Father obviously didn't go to hell. But anyway, it's just every son or daughter, whoever is alive, the oldest ones supposed to go and do it. Maybe they're not actually in hell. Maybe they're just having a bad time, run out of money, suddenly sending up a huge package of big good karma and sukriti. Maybe if we had children from your previous life and they do it suddenly get them a lot of good fortune in your life. So Lord Chaitanya went to Gaya where there's a Vishnu pad temple. There's a Vishnu temple. And the deity is the lotus footprints of our Vishnu. Vishnu actually stood there and put his footprints on a stone. So offering all the results to his father. Lord Chaitanya poured milk, yogurt, honey, milk, yogurt, ghee, honey and sugar water on the lotus feet of Ishmael. When Lord Chaitanya was doing this personal service to Vishnu's Lord is speaking. Tears were pouring from his eyes. His hairs were standing on end. He was feeling so much ecstasy after getting initiation. Now the ecstasy was flowing then. So this is then start chanting and dancing, spinning and jumping. Everybody's watching. What's. What's he doing? And he looked. There was a big crowd of people staring at him. So then he gathered himself, calmed down. Is there any more ceremony left? I said yes. Now you have to offer the plate of Boba to Richard. Means food cooked but not offered yet. Traditional. That's offerable. It's purely made. So then when Lord Chaitanya offered the plate to the Vishnu or his feet and offered the benefit of that to his father, the deceased father.

In well swim location.

This is one. That's the other details also in the ceremony. But that's like the main ones. There's a past time where Lord Shatani was traveling with his servant. And his servant had saved some herbs. Lord Chaitanya had some indigestion as to get rid some herbs from the village. The servant's name was Govinda Ghosh. The Lord Chaitanya said, yesterday it took you 20 minutes to get the herbs. Today it only took a few seconds. What happened? Well, I got a few extra yesterday because I thought you might need them. This is householder mentality, married person mentality. They had to save for the rainy day. Save for the dangers. It's natural for them. But we're in a renounced order. We just have to depend on Krishna. Lord Chaitanya followed a very strict renowned life. So he said that looks like your mentality is suitable to be a rehastas. If she get married. It was a Brahmachari. He had no intention on getting married. All of a sudden he was called to get married. So he was shocked. He was watching on his order Stay here, live here, set up your ashram and get married. The place they arrived was Agur 3 Island. And he had a son have a child. Then he was worshipping as Radha Gopi Madhavi again. His wife died, his son died. So he got depressed. Why is this happening to me? Why did Lord Chaitanya tell me to get married? Then My wife died, my husband died, my son died. So then he like was his daily worship was getting hampered. So one day Gopal, the daily stone dilis talked to him that why aren't you doing your daily worship properly? Am I giving my offerings in time? I'm going hungry. He said Lord Chaitanya told me to get married. I got married, I had a wife, I had a son. And now I don't have a wife. I don't have a son qualified to be a renounced person. I had to get married. So I thought at least my son will perform the shraga ceremony after I die to make sure that I get back to Ka. Now I have no son to do that. So if I do it for you, you do your daily worship properly. I'm your son. Okay. So call the village. So they call the village Gopinath apparently stone deity. Talk to them. I want you to record this in your village log. Your village history book. When my disciple dies or my devotee dies, I, Gopal Dili will be taken to his tomb and will perform strat ceremony for him on his death anniversary. So every year this is done. I take a group of 200 devotees after a march after Gor Purnima in different holy places. So one time we went to Agradv and we saw this pastime. We went there. There were maybe 50,000 people early in the morning Anakadasi after Gorpunima they brought the deity by palanquin put him in the temple of Govinda Ghosa tomb temple. And they prefer perform this ceremony in Shraddh called Pindidam for the. So there the leading Krishna took the role as the son. After this devotee didn't go to hell or anything. But anyway there was this humility that he thought I should have a son. Doing this for me also shows the deities are not stone or water that actually people. It's the Lord himself in a daily form. And he can perform miracles and do wonderful things. We have some slides and videos of my 267 tourists around the world. Does anybody want to see that Imam.

Video is.
