Guru Maharaj's message is your advice Vantage. I got mine. Anyway, I thought today was come at 8:30. But then Prabhupada Srinivara she came to see me for 15 minutes. You hear a longer something. I'm very sorry. So let's tell some pastor Lord Chaitanya and we have questions and answers. So in the meantime, zone. So let's see. Let's see. When he came down from his father's kidney and Gaya he had stopped on the way up. Can I not sell? I think how many health visits did Karai Nacho Unless. Okay, so this is Sidious Face. It's very interesting that our Karnata we are dealing with Canary of Sarah. So we also have the. And then Lord Chaitanya and Raha, which are also maybe very old. And Lord Chaitanya, his footprints are the songs by Bhakti, Siddhanta, Saraswati, Kakura. It's right on the bank of the Ganges at that point. The ganges is about 6km away because it's north of the Fraca Mirage. So it's a quite high place. And you always see the Ganges. It's very beautiful. So there for 300 years I visit Tai Sudsa. I worship by the Rama Nandi samurai. That the samurai know that if they were not able to protect the deities, then they should give back to the Gaudi or something was the most prominent at that time. So after 300 years of their puja, the deities were stoned. So I like to be a greater recent management of the deities and having them stoned. So this Ellen Sago, he came. He was Mahanta. He came to my and he was singing. So I saw him and I said, oh, would you like to eat something? And he said, no, I just take fruit. I said, I'll give you fruit. I said, I have my fruit every day. So he had a stickle table. Yummy. So kindly so in a slit, it said. So I said, okay. At that time Darua was the general manager, so you can see him. So it turned out he had come to Ishtan to give over the save up to Kanan at he was afraid his own disciples will not be able to take the place. It seemed that a mountain of China clay is worth a lot of money. But if you let the China clay be extended, then nothing will be bad. So a Greek son, he will destroy the holy place. So he came here son. And he said, I want to hear. So I had to become the next Mahanta. So Tetanvi was Mahanta of Karaina shop. Well, like Chaitanya. Here we go the class. He went there two or three times. One's on his way to Villa, one's on his way to Aizaw and Sinan. And maybe on the way going and coming to Gaya he stopped Christ when he came back there he saw one person at a distance. He was very beautiful. And he yells over you. And he was playing on fruit eating horizon and saw it was Krishna. He had a pecan feather at his head and his turban. And he was throwing foot. And so Lord Chaitanya was enchanted by the beautiful look of Lord Krishna. He closer and closer. He was violent. And then Lord Caitanya he saw how beautiful Krishna was. And he came up and he embraced Lord Caitanya. He hugged him. And then this gave Lord Caitanya so much ecstasy. And then he ran. He looked up, he ran, he went out of his God. He disappeared. He would say so much separation from Lord Krishna. So when he got back to Namah that he was a changed person. And there he met all these lifestyles. I already knew him as Niraya conduct. But he was now devotee. So these devotees grow. There's one tree. It gave unlimited flowers. As many flowers. Who did these flowers would come. So I go over. We just went to this one tree and Sawad Chitanagha. And there he saw one Tumultui say how did it? And he said, you know what it was like? I have Krishna. I have Krishna in my head. And you know, it's not the hellfish that lives. So he was in such ecstasy and like that rubbed the heart of all his worries. So Lord Chaitanya, after his taking initiation he worshiped the Halarithy of Ravisha. And then he saw Krishna and Kung as well and so on. Then he came right to know that and he was no longer the same. He was so well devoted. So this is how the Sun Kirkham very soon after that. So Allah Shaitan. Here's the transformation from united Pandemic to Ayurveda, Hari or Hiroihoretisk One trip. So we can also remember Lord Chaitanya in this way. And it said, if you haven't seen Kanai Matsha Isha is the great historical place. On the way you can also see either Ayika chakra or Deepenome workplace. Or you can see around here the face of Sanangar Swami and Ulga Goswami. So these are very interesting places. We have now a center in Malwa city which is around carriers maybe how about 10 kilometers from South Wallace. So this Karnataka somehow itself has it. And we went on developing it, rest it and we now have guest houses. And I saw I knew our village other than the stove. And I survived one day and they brought the ganje water. So baby the Adidas. So I went there and stalled. So this is Go sometime and see how beautiful the idea is. I can also Hare Krishna how to.

Come to the mind.

Misogyny is wrong about others and fine find parts with l. How to control the mind.

How to control the mind which always thinks wrong about others and find fault in others.

Wow. It's an. This is a book by Rafit Siddharth. A lifestyle is a real occur to the mind. What kind of lifestyle are you? So if you read out what gives some insight into how to are just like the mind. However, not the mind or not worry whether the atma or pure spirit soul also along a similar line, Prabhupada wrote the only or covenant line. It covers living and renowned self. There is also a prayer by Srinivas Acharya Vata. So we know from the Gita that the control mind is our king and the unwritten soul line is our enemy. So it's very important to learn how to control the mind. Having a second initiation also helps us to control the mind. By seeing the guiding mantra. And in general we should by hook or crook we should somehow conjure mind. It said, you know, either by directly patrolling or by neglecting. You can also discern the line. You can say Krishna, please forgive me. This mind is not under my control. And I don't I accept what the mind is saying. I know this devotee is very good. And I actually worry that. But somehow my mind is always thinking of the wrong thing. So please help me that I can have a three or five night like this. You can also pray Guru Vhy Krishna. So we have to control the mind. This is ashenjal in our advancement. Otherwise the uncontrolled mind creates so much disturbance. Maybe some of you are under extent that mind which is uncontrolled. Higher butchers are the throbbing. So behold the art of Ka consciousness. How to engage the mind. There was a nice drama where one had he wrote the lamp. He wrote a genie. So the genie said whatever you want, I will give you that. If you don't hear me, I'll kill you. So he was on here in the house he would. I'll hit that next. I owe you. So cut me work. He could cut the lamppost and all the streets of finance. Okay. God. Next. So. Wow. This is dangerous. So what they do? How you do this? Lion, onion jaw. I mean of his union. And then when devotee came and said well, it ended. Then he'll be sage chant chanting. Right. So that way he kept under control. And so the Mahal started. The dining is like the mind that if you don't control the mind Vaiguru fingers is awful. So by chanting vairui and he denied in Krishna's service. How we can control mind by that process, how the mind becomes our friend. I realized mind is our enemy. Have you ever experienced our neutral mind in Dhyan In Dhara?

Yes, so much. Many a times I learn.

No, no.

She have a control over her mind very well. It's difficult to control the mind. But still we have to work on it.

Anyway, next question.

How I should ask this question that's why I've taken the mic is that at times I feel that neither can I like. Neither am I practicing Krishna consciousness properly nor am I being able to do my material duties properly. So I feel myself like either here nor there. Though my heart wants to serve Krishna consciousness more and more. My question to you is Krishna. While practicing Krishna consciousness do we become progressively adept in managing material duties?

Or.

I mean I just. That's. That's my question. Adept in handling material duties without getting hassled or agitated.

How to catch the big fish without gira. How to catch the weak fish without getting hurt. Are some people who are dealing with the real nature. They learn how to engage them in Ka service generally able to do that? Of course, in this way we do the like the yoga depending on nature. Like Rocky Siddhartha says that he was. He was a great convert. He was a great spiritualist. So he gave Exodus and he would like that. But Prabhupada was himself also. He was able to priests and also learners. So he had a setup. The GDC and setup always learn structures. So I don't always say that everybody becomes extremite. Agar are using the ninja world as a name. That also depends on their service and their nature. Some black feet, Sinatra Sahaja are healed and Greeks. Some disciples were executed. Management to do the management and here to do the teaching. So that many people under Sri Rafa are there nations that they engage in the material world. So they learn how to do that in such a way that a Ka ought to be kept in the center. So does that answer your question?

What I'm trying to say is that I've taken your instructions earlier also when you said that try to do everything in the name of Krishna. So when we do our regular office work, when we deal with regular people, everybody sometimes like we try to do everything in the service for the service of Krishna. But you know, there is a pull in which there's always a behavior clash. Because I mean, sometimes, I mean, our behavior is not accepted so well. I mean, if we are too calm, they don't react. They say that, I mean, you are not interested in anything if you. I mean, you're supposed to show your anger, you're supposed to show your emotions. And it's like really, I mean, sometimes like I really wonder like how I should be able to deal with it.

I mean, the life is generous. As they mature, they don't feel so much anger and they can be controlled in different situations. So maybe. But you know, you should also be able to tell where the other people are at in the three notes. So accordingly, you're going to deal with them, you're going to react to them. You act so like this because you know the signs of dual swords, you know the signs of the thin loads. So you can tell what node the difference of people at. So you know, like that we have diamonds now, if you want even strong motion, you can do that. You can do it, right? I can't. No, it's not that I'm not interested, but I'm. I'm not so much affected by this. Everybody has to be the same. I want to remind our disciples, but you are working for the AT&T cycle bending. But people knew that she was a spiritual person. So one day Rangna, he came to her and said after work, could you talk to you? My mother died. I don't know how to take it. I don't know how to deal with it. So I want to talk with you so I can understand what is life? What is death. So she also had the opportunity to teach because they know that this question is not the same. So.

Yes, thank you. Online question.

Okay. Online question. Online question.

Here is Guru Maharaj. We have some humble oba senses. What is the bona fide way to celebrate Diwali?

Well, please have a different. I see how Dimal was a server. I didn't have much idea. Then I saw that, well, people would welcome you in their house and they had cookies and sweets and everybody visited every house, such as Prabhupada and went to a rent house. And we were also Tushara and we were Chettag and now we do the Dharma Puja. We all feel that like that. I don't know how the hostel observes the but if you live by visit and they pick some cookies so you could make some prasad and some streets and when they visit Indian streets I don't know how they do it. Originally in South India they say one thing and North India they say something else. In my video they say well, the Brahma is coming back to the Ayodhya and then lit all their lips to Sivam. So that's the duality of hasta lights and softening. They say anode of testimon. So it's all connected with Lord Ram or Lord Krishna. So I see that how the things observe visit the house, they give them snacks. It's like a social event. So at that time we each other engaged people to all run out to our Dhamma take some facade. Instead they get us free. We give them some of Prashadsi. But like we said, not many things were coming to the temple on the road. I did vehicle like any day but not like a Janmashi Shana lakshadirika. And so I wanted to know what they're doing. So in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia we visited about 50 houses. How were to visit 50 houses in one day? So we go houses and visit. Of course, these are the houses of hardware. So they went all next to each other as a drive Asam this is the tiny one house. So Ali Sami house. The year was Prashad and at that time our fellows the Lord filled over sweets and rogis. All the followers here did kita and they had the fill cookies. Sometimes we came one house there pasta. Then we have the oat. Apparently there's no change. But now what we do is we take kirkat and we take go down a lot and we have a fever off a lamp to lie down a lot. But how you observe it? You know, we try to go with the flow and just adapt A so we got Krishna at that time I go how do you do it in manifold? How do they have different hostels like each hostel if they can have some Adam Khuja. And.

What is the best thing to do which pleases the spiritual master?

Well, the best thing what to do? That would depend on your spiritual master. What he said to do Prabhupada he said that he was especially pleased by pleasing the previous Acharyas previous gurus that they all tried to do. So he said he also tried to do the world live hood. And he was very happy if anyone helped. Sometimes also Prabhupada was very pleased to see no books published. And to hear about the book distribution. So many things teeth problem. So he told that one of the secrets of success is to please become as a child. So that also pleased all the gurus. But every guru tells that particular he likes some particular service. He could also do that.

Devotee should always take humble position as a servant of the servant. That means a inferior position. At some time one should accept senior or superior position. How to do that? What should be one's inner attitude?

All right. The guru his job is to help the disciples. So sometimes he has to thank defect and the disciple and the crooked. So like that. But he does that as a service to ka like this. Sometimes you have to train people. So at least power training. They get a critique that it is right, it is wrong. So we should take it as a service. Now of course, different people are different natures. But in general, you see Indians if you anyone, if you first face them into appreciation, then you say something. I could hold it. And then again you say something or more appreciative. And then they understand well that you like them. Is not you holding against any no grudge. But. So he sent it a little harsh statement. A critical statement between some appreciation. So I guess those people can sour easier. They continue. One time, many years ago, they gave the GDC attacks. They said, we want you to stand up, turn the person next to you. Say one nice thing. Well, say something critical and something nice. So you all do this. You can also do summer. The sun drives. This is a very interesting exercise. And they sit now usually for that person or nice ones ready. So because of say something nice first and last. They could have been a fist of that. But so you have to learn how to address the theory, how to help themselves. So they don't misunderstand our intention. Now, as a teacher, this isn't correct. But if we're not a teacher, then you don't have to do that. That's why I ask if anyone wants to stay in contact. If there's someone who wants to be my student, Siksha or Diksha or any. Or if someone wants me to take some giving help and then I know, okay, stand. They just say giving God saying giving prayers. All right, one platform. But if they say no, I want are your help and your instruction. So that means some kind of a decision. And sometimes I will try to help them if I see some problem that they are facing. So like this because they asked me to help them. They asked me to give them some instruction. So you try to. I realized when asked, you don't have to have a doctor. He'll take his doctor. They're going to do that. Rather, if you are the doctor, I'm sick. I am a medicine. What should I do? And then the doctor will study your symptoms and say, well, you can do this. If you want to go to the doctor. The doctor does just one of the people and said, oh, you gotta call Jerry. That's not his position. You're in the hospital, just on the street. He knew a doctor, but they got his patient. Said he doesn't deal with him. If he had come to me a patient, he wrote over and say, Sir, Dr. Mozart, I'd like you to be my doctor. Please kill me, please. I have this father. So my dear regular guru, I want you to please your grinning guidance and then reward also you can learn. Although it's just I go here General so anyone's guidance Greeting aisle Disney Year General Always leave his consciences as I give on prayer. Thank you for watching our videos.
