Sorry that we are a bit late today. I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a healthy and bliss new year. We have here today for the first time. She's an old timer here. Yes, in first time know me. She didn't know about this program at the in we discussed this this noon the the occasion of three years. If it's a time when we can spiritualize our consciousness, then hopefully that our spiritual consciousness would follow us the whole day. The whole year through. So in India, the customism was then the nail New Year's. Giving charity and visiting the candle and having some time with the family. Some kind of spiritual activity is highly recommended. Well, we're drawing a few clothes of the Thursday. But tomorrow and on Sunday I think I'll give the Sunday tea section. If not, I'll go to the.

No graduate. You can give.

Otherwise anytime. Anytime. Normally I give lights on Thursday night and Saturday morning. Depending on the presence of other gurus and Yazis. On a Sunday afternoon. I still thought I knew I was on it. At that time we met many new devotees. It was a very special occasion. In any case, in the 18th chapter 6 that if one thinks of the Lord, if one bows down to the Lord, if one worships the Lord one Yajji. If on the authors of this is the Lord one is. What happened?

Nothing.

She almost walked. She was there and he opened the door again.

Assault. Yes, lady. On this sacred day, on this sister's day, we saw that many people came and saw Gordon crying, saw Rick, Renee or Gorkha ditch and some Gujarat. Initially they had an auspicious beginning. They also took the Christian facade. There's a story that you see one has to take a Durham facade. This is a special service you render to Lord Java. We had a partner come to mindfulness from Karakuri to teach us how to make a prashad parlaterna. And he taught us that the way they make prashad jarnad Puri is they install a fire sacrifice, a agnihotra and they cook over the fire sacrifice. So it's a whole system say that taught us also how to make the special what they call Dharma tongues or the kaja of the Lord general system. Such sweets of many in order to the Dharma and to Russia and to Sepa. So the secret is out. Lord gentleman. He gets a seven of both 56 offerings a day. So this is a special. We try to offer these 56 preparations. Some are like traditional like the sweet dog.

56 preparations or 56 offerings to operate. Okay.

So 36 of corporations every single day, day in and day out. I hope we also we didn't have a dinner a seduction checker. So I offered one a seduction checker to the Lord also they offered during the year. That's actually 26 Dashas. Different dresses that he wears. Different outfits apart. I mean dressa is like crown wrong. Only he wears the wrong outfit. Like he listed all around. And he has a golden dress. Malbourne the day of the Sanyatra 45 minutes bad is dressed like an elephant inside his Lord dressed like a lotus one. You see that?

Yes.

Very beautiful.

I seen that too. You sent me.

I'm not every author. I don't think they offer all 26 addresses. But they offer some of the verses. I'd actually like to offer all the 26 here in La Holland's office. But there's a special for kids like the day after the radcatha. Leisurely Lord Jagannath. He stayed one day outside the temple. And that time he wears a golden alpha Yourself.

You sent me. I was in Calcutta and then I came after the Ratoyatra in Calcutta. You told me if you go tonight to Jagannath Puri, you're gonna see Jagannath outside for three days. And I took a train. I went by myself to Jagannapuri and I saw her Jagannath. And I thought, you know, I went in the, you know, outside that you can go up and then ask you your name, you know, you know the family name. And they make an offering. Then I do the offering. And there was so much people that you don't move. The people move you. You know, with the simple violation.

And.

The same, you know, when you see Kumalai, you know, around the deities, you know, that was thank to you, Guru Maharaj. You sent me special mercy.

Under the.

Body from my father who make me stay in India.

As he said. I did stay away a short time. But he was awaited so long. So she kept waiting outside. Then finally he logged back home. So what? Some daughter told me that this year they were able to find the rod and they could hug Lord Chenna. So you have to get a little donation from the.

Hide Lorgiana. Oh, they let you hug lorgiana.

All right. So.

Oh no. If you got donation. I went inside the temple Guru Maharaj too. But they took kick me out and All Indian Brahmin. I saw my feet. They say Indian neck. And they, you know, like this.

But I understand. So funny. So what how they felt? How did they recognize?

You know, I was looking like an Indian, but he looked at my feet. And they say, Indian man, a very old Brahmana. But I was already inside. You know, the didi was outside, but I went inside the temple anyway. And they took me. And I say, then he grabbed me like this. And they pulled me out of the temple, but I was already there. I don't know how I can recognize my feet.

Oh, you know. You know, Matadi, the devotees and Tiwana Trim, Tamani's father and mother, they went inside the temple, Jagannathuri temple. And then they didn't recognize in the beginning. And then later on they. When they found out, how they found out, because they said, take out the suit. Because they went with the suit up. They didn't take the suit up.

Can we let people hear?

Okay, so please, Mary John. So we pray to them, give all of you all this. I give all of you blessings from a very successful and healthy Krishna consciousness. No? Yeah. So now we will have a question and answer. So where is the question?

Okay, here is a question. It's four questions. That's from Andrea.

How to change my karma? Negative.

How can I change my negative karma?

Yes, please. Hello. Hi, Mr. Meister. This is your question. I want to change my negative karma to a positive karma or Dharma, please. That's a very good desire. Normally there are two accounts. There's the good karma and red karma accounts. So whenever you do a good karma, it's put in your good karma account. When you do a bad karma, it's put in your bad karma account that you don't cross each other out. If you're a celestial being, like an angel or a dealer, then you can get to drink a Somaras. Some of us eradicate that karma, but we don't have the Somaras here on earth, so. But you can eradicate that dharma by entering Ka service. Because like Krishna, Kantha yoga, it eradicates the sins. Just like I said, I take Prashant, it destroys sins.

Yeah, he took a little Prashant today. Yes, tonight.

Thank you, sir. So this is my opinion, regular Prashant, you already paint your sins and take every day Krishna, you can eradicate your sins also by chanting Hare Krishna.

Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna.

Devotion towards Krishna that eradicates the sins. So that's how you say local young and understand, if you render activities for the service of Wisdom then you are free from the karma. Otherwise any activity light is going through the material world. How does that verse start? How did it start? So any activity are done as a sacrifice. As a yoga that frees you from your karma. And any activity done or otherwise bind you. Such want to repeat can have patient under direction service come in the kitchen. If you can't do that, at least eat it for shine. You see, I always also I sometimes I cook. Cooking is a very nice service. Because if it completely absorbed I really cheered. I mix it for about six hours. I'm really absorbed in the making of the algae Brazil. I was somehow in a kitchen service. So I was in Hasido as a place there becomes lucky and they are temple in Vancouver. I always remain the temple present two weeks after taking the shape 19th. So he said okay, don't be body conscious. You should take the service. Don't be body conscious. So since you only have five devotees at a time. I would cook all Sunday morning. We would get a lot of fruit and vegetables donated from the wholesale market. So I make a few preparations make halva. So six times Halo. I have two more questions in this.

No, just one.

Who is my guru?

How to take the curse out of me?

Curse? Yes sir. How do you have a curse? Because. Because people in the past they me put a curse on me. Like you know, like did witchcraft. Well, how do you know who your girl is? I have 15, 16 questions which later on I could not view that you can ask yourself and see who is your guru. It's like simple questions like who are you seeing as more transparent how God speaking you through that guru. Like a data type question. He answers and then always answers your questions. I take all your doubts. So it may differ from one person to another. So that's. I have those questions if you like. This question was asked in the right time. So I range from and came up with some questions. So if you want I can give you maybe hopefully that will help you to figure out who your guru is as far as witchcraft.

Can we take a question for the Internet?

So the ninth chapter of our Deepa is especially supposed to protect one from the influence of witchcraft and curses every day. And that she helps her Vajranet is a form of Hanwon with five heads. Pancham Lakhi Hanwang. He was the one who went to the. He took the row and lashed on his shoulder and he entered into the earth. I pulled a carnoid Brazil they still have some black and architect they call Makumba. I don't know if they come from Kumba Karnak but maybe anyway this form of Hongwa with five heads it is actually metro Karak curses of this thing apart from. Thank you. Next question.

Internet question. This is a great question is Lila Mohini from Argentina says how should we take these and how. How do we are part of this when somebody tell us that the the deities that we're worshiping are not worshipable are we you know somehow they're responsible for that offense. There's some so called authority she doesn't say who you say some authority says that our deities are known to worship. You cannot worship them.

This is in regards of they have these Lord Lakshmi machine Hadidis made out of brass in in her house in Buenos Aires and Gunagrandi Maharaj told her that these deities were not worshipable.

They're not installed. They're not installed.

No.

And that he told her that.

They.

Were just little draw that the expression says Di Bujitos in Spanish.

Little drawings.

Little drawings even though they're brass. And then she had them paint them and redid their eyes and did is building or making the small temple a little separate altar for them. So she's asking about this.

Well when we don't install babies and we don't have second instincts able to heat up the sand it's considered that the deities are like a practice worship like worshipping a fixture even on their deities. But that doesn't mean the Krishna doesn't accept. He still may accept the worship. So even if the deity is like a it says like a picture you can teach your worship. It's also the altar Krishna used to be shark teaching like when Prabhupada was six years old he had Radhakrishna deity. Now these are not but he was worshipping and in that way his father chained them positive deity worship. Later on when he went to college he gave the deities to his younger sister what we call as H. And later when she just before she passed away she gave Christ so he kept on the altar. So this evenv's are not even solid TVs. But still they have practiced TVs.

And.

Patient will reciprocate with our worship in some way because we're not able to busy household duties and not necessarily unless one has a very big joint family how to take care of these. So it's quite common that the deities will be installed ah. We say that the deity orchid is like worshipping a picture but we don't say in a derogatory any other way. It's Just that that's what it is still Krishna accepts the worship and I don't know particularly why they thought maybe there's something wrong with the DV or it's not worthy to be installed. But that's all right. You don't need to install them. You can actually do not like a photo, like a picture of the dragon. If you doing so then you have to offer some particular standard worship. And that's an old fast. Last question. Guru Maharaj, what happens if we are judging to other devotees or anybody without knowing what's happening?

Can you repeat the question?

Can you repeat the question?

Yeah, Guru Maharaj, what happens if you.

Are judging to other devotees or anybody without knowing what's happening?

So that's like my married last name. That's why she wrote it like that. Today is my best.

Oh she write it's not application from.

My daughter. I'm sorry, I don't. I don't want to do that.

And teacher, you're right and wrong as a dedhiras. Okay, what happens if someone criticizes someone without knowing the actual situation? Well, they could make a mistake. Sound like a funny question because I don't know what the criticism is but generally we don't like to criticize anyone unless we know what the facts are. But the situation. I learned in working in India, I was working in Latin America that you have to hear both sides of the story first because everyone tells you one side and it tends not to be neutral. I don't know if you've ever experienced that. I know it happens in the state. It doesn't happen one story and the other side has completely opposite story.

I have a comment with mine. You know you said there's two sides of the story but actually I read somewhere that said it's three sides of the story. His side, her side and two. Are you sure?

Three or four. So at least you hear both sides and you figure out what the truth is. So that's the naming is some truth and what both are saying. Only one person telling truth. So you have to judge a person who's not criticized. Like normally we don't only the senior devotees in the office advise. But this time it's often it's a rumor to mongering. So that's Prabhupada said we should write ST rumors. That's in his original four principles. He said listening and speaking rumors as I say by what's his name and not list to. So we don't want to hear rumors. Actually there's three things. One, sign Other sign and the truth. But when you add the equation of rumors.

So.

You need to be very objective in counter decisions, at least on facts. How many is not possible to understand fully. I always advise my disciple today. So guess they're having troubles with their merits. They should try their little best to resolve the issue. And they, you know, go to counsel, do whatever case. At least that way if it doesn't work out, they tried. If one side doesn't want to go, if a counselor doesn't want to occur, the other side can't be held responsible. I'll thank you all day. So I realized like that as a sannyas, I can't really get into who's right and who's wrong. But I mean just in general on all my issues, there were some people who would hear one side come to our decision. But they got angry when I heard one side. I want to hear the other side first. So this is why my side is not. But so many times I got my singers, they're only hearing one side. This wasn't regarding marriages, but in general a lot. Any issue. Okay.

Guru Maharaj see 2% they spend life for 20 years, right. So they have their issues tolerating together. Right? So we were two persons that you know in the problems. So my solution, not to put on anyone, not to blame on anyone. So we should be solving like our own. That's our problem, right? So Bhagavad Papa said there is a three sides. One is two sides and one is truth. If those two people, if that's problem, that's their problem. They have been knowing all these years. So what is the truth? How can somebody can know what is the truth? So what is the thought? You know, I didn't mean in any.

Particular case as something that I read, you know. Yeah, but that's that it takes a very honest person to say the facts without bending them to his favor.

How can you know that's the truth? So that's why.

We can talk about this little piece. This is a discussion for this.

Okay.

These have to be questions. So I saying that in any kind of management decision or any kind of criticism, someone should hear both sides. Whether whether they accept one side holding or another or they come up to a third opinion, that's up to them. I don't want to discuss the issue now. It's very late.

Thank you so much. It's a wonderful way that you described and you answered the question. I feel happy. But I think anybody judging anybody is really painful. Which is if we are paying attention. Because we know the past, what happened, Right? So when the people don't know, they talk, you know?

So.

Again, wish all you very happy New Year.
