Hey Krishna, no time for class today. Just question answers. Yesterday was we went to in the afternoon and the wine were at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Santa Monica. They had two services one in ninth and one eleven. They ended up getting two. They. They say they're open to all the different groups they have a place in their own and Tao and Islam, Christianity, various other groups. So I'm near where appreciative of my coming in. So yesterday was a very eventual eclipse. Next week we are in Tanzania for the weekend. It's a long weekend because of the Martin Luther King's vacation for his anniversary his day dedicated to him. So. And we intend to be the second window for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and prior Monday and come back there. So we should be broadcasting from there. Today was a bit of a heavy day. We were going to the Ajay's house. We were going to the I hope so my church and it hit in the drive by a car by truck pick up trucks because I came late. So I was engaged in some OT air dancing and then I was on the parallel bars. I almost fell from the parallel bars. After a while as I was in the gentleman my right hand doesn't have a full feeling. So suddenly I reappeared that he was saving. So I didn't actually call. I was sitting almost home. And then later I was standing quadra sided. And at the end of the therapy the doctor pulled the rope a switch and the whole dark just felt bang smash. They said I have difficulties coming Please I shared. But unfortunately it took two wrong turns and teeth. Somehow I ended there all late and missed it there. So I got my glasses. So today was I came back here and I just took earth and so I already worked for village. So today is he or Kadisha Satirujam I took it as a Krishna's mercy because Akashi to tell us and by Krishna mercy none of us were hurt somehow went through a lot of tests. So that was today like this living in the material world. You can see how Krishna he gives us mercy by reducing the things and everything has been much worse. It harder to hit us much higher. And he elevates the longer venom behind the thing happened at the time he got hit. Just shake us up a little bit. I didn't got any worse. It was just fishing mushy. One time Prabhupada he cut his finger and he said actually this fishing mushy, I should have had a head cut off. But I only had my finger cut. So I lost one drop of blood instead of losing my head. So I was thinking this morning how I saw many other devotees, even devotees that I don't know very well. They took it very seriously that I was sick of. They offered grace and said prayers. And some of them offered, told her, please let the karma come on in. My little girl in my room. And she said that not a son did she say that Pujara dropped a hot temper on her chest causing a very severe burn. They said little scarring for life. And she had asked that I heard Shelly and nun asked that they take the karma. And they immediately, within 10 minutes had a stroke. So like that I think anyhow, devotees, please don't ask to take my karma. He didn't ask to like if you want. So you carry me quickly, but don't ask for account on me guys. I don't want anyone else to submit account. You don't know what count. You got to be counting. I do a lot of disciples and not all of them are following check their self. Paulist card is unwritten. So I may at the same time it's the only way we can preach is to accept this sentence. I need to walk it. So he's going to collect the questions. Wow.

This is a question on behalf of Balagopal. If the disciple does not reveal his or her heart fully to the guru, does the guru know the disciple heart? Does the guru have mori insight into the disciple heart that the disciples revealed on behalf of Balagupal Das?

I saw him in the restaurant and he couldn't come and he wanted me to ask that if I could.

Sometimes the super soul reveals things to the but the world is not the silver soul. Satan doesn't automatically know unless he's like some liberated soul of Naramuni who knows past, present, future and a range of things. But say the Arjuna guru, he may not know or he may know something. He may know that something is wrong. He gets some indication. They don't know the details, but he knows something of it. So actually the disciples should reveal their mind to the Guru and get some instruction, get some blessing. Even if it's a difficult night. Somehow we reach surrender to Ka, we should reveal our mind. We should open our heart to Ka. We should beg forgiveness for our offenses. Krishna already knows everything we're thinking. So it really doesn't make any difference that we realize it makes A difference in the sense that Krishna that you have a revealing your mind to Krishna. He takes it as an act of love and as though it already knows Lord Kingdom as a sutra. So he's a witness to all the things we do. Still we should offer our respect and our Krishna and we should beg for his mercy and his beautifulness. We should surrender to his Buddhist.

The next question is by Bhakti Angelica. She say Hare Krishna, please accept my humble of essences. All glory to Srila Prabhupada. Dear Jayapattaka Swami, could you please tell us how to not become fanatical?

I wonder what your definition of the miracle is.

What is your definition of a miracle?

Sometimes new people coming to the temple and they see some people who is really strange to fanatical. And they don't even accept any others. They don't see each different. And newcomers just turn around and they leave the temple. And I saw many people like that and I was surprised and I don't want to become like this.

We saw some good things in the intern church. They had no outside. I greeted everyone. Hello, welcome, how are you? A new duration. There are no daily right or wrong. And they take visitor Daddy, Kathy, John, whatever put it on. So they were. These are the kind of things that would be good. These are Sunday feasts to have. I heard that in Chowtalati they have on the Sunday feast they asked is anybody here for the first time? So we didn't get your gift here Also we do have something. But I didn't say they didn't do it. But I think just the fact that you know how negative the pixel. I see it when you're not able. We don't. Especially today when people are to a large extent against organized religion to be too much organizational or familial. Because the faithful will become very offended by that. Rather people looking for friendship and community and support and love. And so showing that kind of ascendant is going to get more violent. And that's really what Lord Chaitan is moving as well. So this fanaticism starts from the Ramanas. They're fanatics that if he didn't become a Ramana, if you were a Ramana, if you had then spit on another religion, then you lost your Hinduism. So they told the people that after drink going well and they would become Hindu after death died in the next word, stuff like that. So we don't want to be surrendered like this. We want to open our hearts to people. So if you know the effect, why should we find that we have the faith that Prabhupada gives us the system which is most effective and we're very proud of that. We're happy. At the same time we don't think that we're the only system. There are decisions, they just take longer but mainly they only take their part of the weight. So in Vavagita Krishna talks about well if you can't do pure luck, we do lady luck. If you can't do Karniwa, if you can't do Karniyah, do this, can't do that, do this. So he gives 10 ounces so everything helps. So why do we call out patience instruction? Why should we be able. But rather we should be friendly and trying to help people because we know we have the system which is very effective, it's very easy to perform it guarantees you success in one word we don't have to be able to push it, rather we should be friendly. And when they are ready to receive it then you can tell them some of the confidential aspects. Otherwise just welcome them. It's the temple, it's their temple Sri Ka. So we don't want to burn out people or turn them away. We want to welcome people and make them happy. So take that note, you're a representative of Christian.

Okay, the last question is I don't.

Know who wrote it. Sagati please.

I said my hopefulness is I'm somewhat, somewhat attached to the aspect of Krishna which is the paramagma how to understand better the personal form of God or how to go beyond this conception.

He's attached to the Param Atman within the heart watching what he do. Stop just reading Krishna book. It talks about the personal form of the Lord. So as we read about the personal form of the Lord it's quite interesting. Prana has one promise. He is our life companion, lands after life. So naturally we should also appreciate the Paramatra. When we're Christian conscious then our Ka directly will receive what we do Otherwise enter his overseen as a suicide. But when we read about his Charistine as a personality of rather I keep Recently I've been remembering I don't know why but like Agha Sura all the guard boys they felt so much confident that Ka would save them. They walked in the open mouth of Agar Sora even that smell coming from his stomach they said looks like a big snake said ah. An irritational verdict is. So they walked right in and the prisoner was thinking how do I protect them? How do I save my devotees? So then Har Krishna went and he extended himself and nearly blocked the throat of the Parasura, a gigantic snake and the snake choked on Krishna and Krishna saved all the like this there's all kinds of palestines of Krishna all Krishna lifted over in hell. How Krishna did this, Krishna did that. So either 10 count Srinodharvata or Krishna if you need that you should be down a little attached to Krishna. You're so wonderful.
