Chapter 8 text number 7. Translation by Divine Ray Bhakti Vedanta Swami Srikhar Therefore, Archana, you should always think of me in the form of Krishna and at the same time your prescribed duty of fighting. With your activities dedicated to me and your mind and intelligence fixed on me, you will attain me. Without doubt. This instruction to Arjuna is very important for all men engaged in material activities. The law does not say that one should give up his prescribed duties of engagement. One can continue them and at the same time think of Ka by chanting Hare Ka. This will free one from material contamination and engage the mind and intelligence in Krishna. By chanting Krishna's names, one will be transferred to the supreme planet Krishna Loka without a doubt.
So this is a very nice verse where our Krishna tells Arjuna that he can engage in his occupational duties. He was a prince, he was a general, he was a warrior. He could do these duties without any interruption. This is a great secret of Bhakti Yoga. The Bhakti yogis, they name a mystery to the Gana yogis and Astanta yogis and Bhajna yogis, Kriya yogis, they don't understand how does Vaksa yogis work? It seems like they're working in the material world, but actually they're always engraving their thoughts, their words, their activities. Krishna long time? Not yet. So as a result, even though they engage in the same kind of activities that other materialists engage in, maybe the houses or business, maybe later Judah, he was a king, he was a warrior. Still being engaged in devotional service. Conscience, he offered all his activities to Ka. Therefore his activities were considered as devotional service. This is a is a wonderful thing because that means that everybody can engage in devotional service. Sometimes those who are thinking or Lydia represent them as trauma. Is it? I can hear the glory too. I can practice too and said yes, why not? You don't have to give up what you're doing to become a devotee. Rather you change what you're doing at for instead of doing a test gratification. Most people do their activities just to make some money, to enjoy some sense gratification. But instead the writing is doing activity to please Ka. He offers a protevish, just like some of our businessmen. They maintain their Family they do their normal things, but now they are trying also to use some of their income to build a temple to serve their Vaishnavas. So like this they are engaging in devotional service. They don't have to change what they're doing. They change their mentality. Hospitals, the only of money, the one thing the strength enjoying essential are devoiding. They want to make a little extra money to spend it on Ka. To spend it for spreading the Ka conscious ruling Sabbath. That's the difference. Externally they look the same, but actually it's completely different. Can you understand me? Yes. Today we have Internet and little broadcast. So if you don't have a question, you can just write your pass for blessing there. Oh, you all give your blessing now. This eighth chapter of the Lord Gita. To us are glorified by the Lord seeker to his guru wife Bharati David. And he said that this Chantal Bhagavad Gita it can deliver us from general world. So to devotees there are children of devotees. Probably some of you are renounce it. They grew up and they had a rural education and they were in groups. They do the celebration. But they got married and they wanted to see the world and enjoy life with it. So they were traveling around. But they soon got boys. The husband was saying they were sitting on drawing. South Indians left eat a lot of heaven in their South American Southeast in North India. They don't speak much, So they complain. They only come to North India and nothing to eat. And North India.
Sour.
And the guru of the north and the South Indian. So I'm used to adults medieval second I have one day Bengali, one day South Indian. That way I know I stay in touch. Anyway, this husband give us. What are you doing here? What are you doing traveling around. Every few people do the same thing. Eating, sitting, writing, defending. It's the style a little different. So they use the chips, chopsticks. So each of the part. They're all eating. So then I wonder what is the self? What is the karma? The further activities, what is the Satvin poison? She said, you know, I studied the Bhagavad Gita. The same question was asked by Arjuna. The same question. They didn't know that this Taminji I was sitting under was a tree that was used as a hangman's tree for the criminals of the country, especially the murder. The tongue from the necks. And they were dying there. So what happened was the Jews filled with ghosts that all hanging on this couple, young couple, 30 believe in the dark. We're going to get moisture, tingle body. So they're all around drilling. The husband is stressing his frustration at traveling, right? She said, I know a verse. All the ghosts that were there listening, I need to drive. Trying to take over the bodies. They got literally, they got literary nature because they were listening to a verse. Held out. Down came the earthlings in the spiritual world and took back all these souls who had got purified from their sins by listening to the verse of the Bahu Akita. King Natnama, King Anatom, King Karama will show the lot. So the husband, he looked at his wife. He looked at Mercy himself. All these liberated ghosts who elected Godhead. What did it just say? Or it is said the first half of the verse or the first verse of the eighth chapter. All glories in the wooden. All glories to the wife. They got Shakti if they known the voices of our vanity. So then he got so impressed that somehow while his wife started chanting, all these ghosts were illuminated. King. Garmashai talking the name Kim. Kim is answering his what, King Harmon? What is eternal King Kushoda? Who is who or what is the dream God? King Tan? What is the absolute truth? King of Jeff. What is the third soul? So they don't know it, but king is a sentient word. It means what has the link.
What?
So if you meet and you are a king now, you know what they need me. They don't know. Sometimes they said they don't know. So in this she goes on chanting day after day. We can't believe Long death from here and here. King Dandama. King Dandama. King on Dandama. I worked with the ghost. Sundays that work for him. He had this big tradition, was shining and rushing. She asked why you're shining. Said, there is this Abraham and his changing health. Bring it right up. So they are brought up in a spiritual world. Halilo Halo. Halilo. Halilo Halo. So this. Even a half verse from Najava Gita. The whole verse? The whole chapter. This is each chapter of the Bhagavad Gita.
Now.
It'S considered great fortunate birth. Born as a child of Yogi. Thanks. Verse is God, child of a rich family. Because at least we don't have any meat, material things, but the best of rivers. Son of Yogi, our little son of Brahman, our childhood Rama and then child of Samrisha. So if someone, some people, they come to Christian practice this, and then they don't actually, they count, they go, they count, they go. They get distracted. But some people, as soon as they count, something could feel a great attachment to Krishna. And maybe they feel some ecstasy when they chant. This is a sign of that of your devotees. And through this life easily take up seriously Christian consciousness. They'll easily be able to advance, take off or they blast off. And they can advance very nicely at first. Easily take it up. As you write in his verse. You don't have to change what you're doing. You can be a business person, an intellectual, a teacher, whatever. You can be anything. You can be a lawyer to do anything. How a person do things and not work like a butcher or. Some growers sells it to the slaughterhouse. The slaughterhouse connected with. Getting animals. This is not regular, but most of the activities they can do to Krishna. So it's a very good to know. It's a very important verse for us. This is important chapter. Thank you very much. So. I have the generic short class and we have a question and answer session. Not only for those who are present, but also for those.
In Chaitanya Bhagavad Shrivasko removed his mother.
In law out of Kirkland.
What is the significance of this pastime?
Mother in law was highly under arrest. When she was fine watching the kidnapping, she normally we're told not to show our ecstasy to keep it internalized. But these were special treatments and there was no hope. Ecstasy was showing the large antenna.
He was.
Championing these kidd guns.
