Saman Translation by his divine grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Prabhu Shila Prabhupad Ki Shimad Bhagavatam Grantarajki this is the Srimad Bhagavatam 10th Canto 1st Chapter 39 Text Translation Purport by His Divine Grace Ac Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada spoken at ISKCON Hare Kisha Lotus Mandir Tirupati on the holy day of janmastami krishna in 2008 month 8 day 24 522nd year of our beloved Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhuki to the north of Tirumala.

And in the holy land of the Chirupati Bhuvaikunta Translation that says Vasudeva speaking to Kamsa giving him good advice. Kamsa heard that the son, the eighth son of Devaki will kill him. So she grabbed her hair. He has his talwar out and he's ready to chop off her head and kill her right on the day of her marriage. Is this Badra Loka? Is this a gentleman? Looked like he was a gentleman. He was driving the chariot for his sister. When his future life was threatened. He lost all his composure.

He became angry.

He wanted to kill his sister. Your son will kill me, I will kill you. Doesn't matter. She's sister. Doesn't matter. It's a marriage day. Doesn't matter. It's in front of anyone. He don't care. He just want his own safety. Kill his sister so he can live. Is this right? Is this correct action? This is why Kamsa is known as an Asura. A demon. He doesn't care about right and wrong. He cares about his own interest. So Basudev is trying to save his newly wed wife. Devaki trying to convince Kamsa don't kill your sister. Devaki is the future mother of Krishna. Basudev is the father. He must somehow another save his wife. This is not an ordinary situation. This is an emergency. The Asura Kamsa wants to kill his wife. He must do anything, everything possible to save his dear wife. Is that the correct thing to do? What do you say? Who says it's correct? Ladies? Is it correct wife should die or she should live? Yes, you are correct. That's why Basudev, he is a Deva. He is a godly person. He wants to do the right thing. Kamsa wants to do the wrong thing. Who are you going to follow in your life? Who wants to follow Kamsa? You want to follow Kamsa? Who wants to follow Vasudev? Vasudev our king. So let's read Prabhupada's translation. Translation 10:1 39 when the present body turns to dust and is again reduced to five elements, Earth, water, fire, air and ether. The proprietor of the body, the living being automatically receives another body of material elements according to his fruitive activities. When the next body is obtained, he gives up the present body.

Purport by his divine grace Prabhupada Ki Prabhupada was ready to be born on Janmastami. He was in the womb. But he delayed one day so that he can give respect to Ka Janmastami. He was. He's born tomorrow. The festival of Nanda Maharaj is tomorrow. He has a son. He has a son. He's the one. He has Krishna as his son. He's a very happy one. This verse tells us sooner or later we have to die. Anybody here will have to die. Those here who don't have to die, raise your hand. Nobody raising their hand who has to leave this body has to die. Who has a body who will have to die, raise your hand. Looks like more or less everyone raised their hand. You are not raising your hand, your body will not die.

So.

Normally we get a new body when we live according to our karma. And if we have very sinful karma, we may get animal body or Asura body. If we get a normal karma, we may become again a human being. We get very good karma. We can become a Deva or live a Deva Loka Swarga. But if we're Krishna conscious, if we're thinking about Krishna and we're doing devotional service Bhakti Yoga, we don't have to get our material body. We go back to the spiritual world and serve Krishna eternally. The great souls, because of their Bhakti yoga, they go back to Krishna and they don't have to be born again. So which you what he wants to be an animal or Asura or something human being.

Eternal associate of the Lord.

Thank you very much. Purport. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad Gita which presents the beginning of spiritual understanding. Salmon as the embodied soul continually passes in this body from boyhood to youth to old age and the soul similarly passes into another body at death.

The.

Self realized soul is not bewildered by Such a change unquote Bhagavad Gita 2:13 A person or an animal is not the material body. Rather the material body is the covering of the living being. Bhagavad Gita compares the body to a dress and elaborately explains how one changes these dresses one after another. The same Vedic knowledge is confirmed here. The living being, the soul, is constantly changing bodies one after another. Even in the present life, the body changes from childhood to boyhood, from boyhood to youth, from youth to old age. Similarly, when the body is too old to continue, the living being gives up this body and by the laws of nature automatically gets another body according to his fruitive activities, desires and ambitions. The laws of material nature control this sequence and therefore as long as the living entity is under the control of the external material energy, the process of bodily change takes place automatically according to one's fruitive activities.

Prakritanimal cheta Prakrita nimam nantadni Jahim saram.

Basude therefore wanted to impress upon Kamsa that if he committed the sinful act of killing a woman, then in his next life he would certainly get a mature body still more conditioned to the sufferings of material existence. Thus Vasudeva advised Kamsa not to commit sinful activities. One who commits sinful activities began because of ignorance. Tamoguna obtains the lower body. Ignorance Gita 13:22 There are hundreds and thousands of different species of life. Why are there higher and lower bodies? One receives these bodies according to the contamination of material nature. If in this life one is contaminated by the mode of ignorance and sinful activities duskriti in the next life by the laws of nature one will certainly get a body full of suffering.

Prasuta janmara.

The laws of nature are not subservient to the whimsical desires of the conditioned soul. Our endeavor therefore should be to associate always with with the Sattva guna and not to indulge in Raja Guna or Tamaguna Rajasthano Baba. Lusty desires and greed keep the living entity perpetually in ignorance and prevent him from being elevated to the platform of Sattva guna or Sudha Sattva guna. One is advised to be situated in Sudha Sattva Gura devotional service, for thus one is immune to the reactions of the three modes of material Nim.

Love and Maram sadhu. But this even Yaka viparita.

Sadh.

Jivani bunchi satogonaga sakto bhatika sava.

Translation to the Srimad Bhagavatam 10th canto 1st chapter 39th verse. The advent of Lord Krishna. Introduction.

So.

Vasudeva is still trying to convince Kamsa. Don't kill your sister. Don't kill my wife.

Well.

Because of the sacrifice of us today when Devaki Kishta appears today they had the six children who were killed by Kamsa. That was their fate. Then Ananda. So like this, the seventh child was Balaram. He was transferred to Rahini's home. Then Krishna appeared. After Yoga, Maya fixed up everything in the womb of Devaki. He appeared there in his transcendental form. When you have pure devotional service, that's called Sudha Satwa. The Devas are Sattva, humans, usually Raja and animals. Tama. So we are trying here to bring everyone up to the Sudasatva platform. Krishna, Sudha Satva, you have a chance to associate with him. So in this way when we hear about Krishna, when we serve Krishna, when we remember Krishna, we are uplifted. So the titi of his appearance. We want to fill our mind with Krishna as much as possible. We want to chant Krishna was in the womb of Deva Ki. So like this we want to always keep Krishna in our mind. Devaki had Krishna in her body. She became so beautiful. She was already a beautiful lady but now she became super beautiful. Her body was brilliant, shining with effulgence. This way even Kamsa said she looks so special. Maybe that person who wants to kill me will be in her now. This is an amazing thing. Krishna is in the body of his devotee. Then different amazing things started to happen. The Devas from Swarga came and offered prayers to Krishna in the womb. This is a great blessing for a woman to have Krishna as your son. Because Kamsa was very powerful, it wasn't safe for Krishna to live in Kamsa's palace. How many of the ladies here would like to have Krishna as their son? Anyone here? One Krishna as your son Decide they want. What do you want? Krishna is your brother. Krishna is your lover. What's your. What's your. How come you don't want to be the mother of Krishna? Mothers also pray to have Krishna as son or to have a pure devotee of Krishna as son or daughter. How many of the men here like to Krishna as their son? That's what Krishna is coming. He's showing you can be his son. You can be his mother. You're his father. I mean he can be your son. You can be his mother or father. You can be his friend. I was thinking today this word Ignorance. Ignorance. It was coming again and again and it came to me that this word ignorance had some special meaning. Ignore entst. The truth is in front of us. We are eternal spirit souls. We are the part of Ka but we ignore Ka. Ignore ents. That's our foolishness, our darkness. This India we are very fortunate. We know that who is supreme personality of Godhead. What is the purpose of life. Some of the modern people, they want to ignore it. They say this all mythology, this fiction. We don't care. They're ignoring the truth. Ignorance. We should avoid ignorance. We want the spiritual knowledge. What do you want? Spiritual knowledge. Raise your hand. Who wants spiritual knowledge and who wants ignorance? Nobody raising their hand. Very good. We need to think. Krishna is coming to give us the light. Says Krishna Surya sama Maya Hoyandakar Jaha Krishna Taha Maya Nahiyatikar Krishna is like the sun. When he comes, it gives us a light. Now we see the light outside before it was dark. Just a few hours ago it was dark. Right now it's light. When the sun came, the light came. See, once there was a man. He was going with his flashlight and behind someone's house the householder got up. What are you doing? You are sure?

What?

What are you doing? Hey. Hey you. What are you doing behind my house? No sir, no, no. I'm not thief. I'm just looking for something. What you're doing in my house? Looking for something in my. In my yard? Here. Who are you looking for? So I'm looking for the sun. It disappeared 6 o' clock last night. I'm looking. Where is it hiding? Good idea. How many ladies think it's a good idea? Only one. Let's give them a big hand. Very smart. You don't need to find the sun with a torch. The household said when the sun comes, everybody can see it. The whole world goes light. So what you stupid guy, you're doing? Going with a torch? Trying to find the sun. You're a crazy guy. Get out of my house. Go. Go. Go. Crazy guy. So Krishna is like the sun. When he comes, the whole universe gets illuminated with spiritual bliss and knowledge. The darkness goes away. When the sun comes, where does the darkness go? People want to get rid of the ignorance in the darkness, the hatred. But they don't want to bring in the light. How can you get rid of darkness without light? Bring in Balaji. Bring in the Bhagawan. All the darkness goes away. So now we can also. Krishna has given us. He appeared in his visible form, audible form, 3D form 4D form. We could hear Krishna. See Krishna 5,000 years ago. He was right on the earth. Everyone could see him. Then he disappeared. Went back to Godhead, his original abode. He's not a Jiva like he doesn't take birth again. He eternally stays in his spiritual form.

What?

When he wants to, he lives to go downhill. Seven years of age, only one finger, right? When Putana the Rakshasi tried to kill him, she sucked the life out from her. When Krishna was seven years old, he was dancing with millions of Gopis in the Raj Leela. When he was in the battle of Kurukshetra, he spoke the Bhagavad Gita. He showed the Viswarupa. Somebody says, I am God. You say, please show us. We'll bring all the media, radio, television, newspapers. You show us your universal form.

Media, radio.

Show your universal form. Otherwise. Shut up. You are not God. Krishna said he is Bhagavar. Everything coming from me. Then Arjuna asked him, please show the universal form. I believe you, but some may not. Then he showed it. You can't show it. You're not Bhagavan. There's so many so called Bhagavans going around. Nobody's shown universal form. They are just cheating the people. Even a magician can make a ring or a watch come out from the air. But only God can show the universal form. So Krishna is coming in that Darpa Yuga. And even though he's born in a prison house, even though it's Astami, it's not the Purnima or anything, it doesn't matter because he himself is light. He Himself is more brilliant than millions of suns.

Chalasagala.

Now we don't see the Lord on the planet. His pastimes are apricot. They're invisible for us. But the Lord has left us two manifestations. One visible and one audible. We're soon going to have the Darshan of Ragovinda and the Ashtasakis. This is the visible form of the Lord. The Arch of Igra. We can go up the Tirumala hills and have Darshana. Venkateswar Balaji. He is the Archa avatar. He is the incarnation of the Lord in a visible worshipable form. So this is a visible, touchable form of the Lord. But generally the Lord is not speaking to us. Some very great devotees were spoken to by one of the deities. But normally. Normally not. We're not so fortunate. We can hear the Lord also by chanting his holy names. Audible form of the Lord Wherever we.

Are.

In the jungle, in the highway, in your house, in your work, in the battlefield, in the bed, Anywhere you are, you can chant. And the Lord will appear in your heart in his audible form. This is the absolute truth in the form of sound.

Krishna.

Krishna. Krishna.

Krishna. Krishna.

Hare. Hare. Hare. Hare. So you will see the Lord. While we're seeing the Lord, we also chant his holy names that we are hearing and seeing. The Pujaris are very fortunate. They touch the Lord. They're dressing the Lord. Today on Janmastami there's special new set of clothes. Cost over a lakh of rupees. For the Santa Claus. Maybe over a lakh and a half. More than one and a half lakh. But this Krishna is more beautiful than the clothes. But some devotees came forward, or devotees to make this offering of a very special dress for the Lord. Radha Govindrashtasakhi. On a Janvastami day, the Pujaris. They are touching the Lord and learning how to put on this set of very beautiful clothing. Lord is Lord of the universe. He Juggernaut. He deserves the best clothes. So we want to give him the best of everything. How many of you want to see the Lord nicely worship. This is the mood. Loving mood. Janmastami mood. We want to serve the Lord more and more so that we can please the Lord. The devotee wants to serve the Lord and the Lord wants to serve the devotee. Bhagavatam Krishna. Vishnu said that my heart, My devotee gave me his heart. Therefore I gave my heart to my devotee. So like this he said I cannot. My heart is with my devotee. If you want mercy, get it from the devotee. Because he has my heart. She has my heart. Heart. That's why we respect the devotees of Krishna. So like this. 8:30 the Lord will be ready to be seen to have his Darshan. But we are more anxious. The Lord see us and give us his mercy. Four minutes left. Four minutes left. Are you ready? So here the Lord. This is the Vrindavan Leela place for Lord Balaji to come and have Vrindavan Leela whenever he wants. Lord has got an untalila unlimited pastime. Three minutes left. Three minutes. The Lord. What? When you want to remember the Lord, what's the easy way? Wherever you are, in the forest, in the jungle, in the road, in the bus, in the house. Where what will you do?

Krishna. Krishna. Krishna.

If you haven't, how many of you are doing Japa every day on your malas? Okay. For those who have not yet started. Today is a very good day. Get your Japa. Get your bead baik and start chanting japa. Two minutes to go. Two minutes. He told me 8:30 paka curtain of the Lord. Okay. I said you get the mercy from the Lord, from his devotee. And who's a greater devotee than Garura? Let's go.
