20230204 || The Pastimes On The Water of Narendra Sarovara || Śrī Māyāpur, India

A February 4, 2023 talk by His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaj in Śrī Māyāpur recounting the chapter "The Pastimes on the Water of Narendra Sarovar" (from Chaitanya literature). The speaker reads and explains water pastimes of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu — devotees joyfully splashing, singing, and entering ecstatic mood — and uses these pastimes to argue that pure devotional service (chanting, sankirtan) is superior to ritual study, austerities, or yogic practices for attaining Krishna.

Was enjoying all the spots.
Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was enjoying water spots with his devotees.
And.
They were splashing each other and enjoying in his Chaitanya Mongol, now known as Chaitanya Bhagavad Vandavan Das Thakur has given a detailed description of the activities of the Lord performed in the water. 10.51 There is no use in again describing here the activities of the Lord. It would simply be repetitious and would increase the size of this book.
Is honor or recite the honor Honors. I can't hear the same.
So each water would respect the other water who came previously and they expect.
As rather read the other works.
They expect that everyone would read the.

So that if you can read one book you'll get all the pastimes. This one book you can get all the pastimes.
We want to repeat the detailed philosophy.
But we won't repeat the detailed philosophy in the Chaitanya Charitamrita Bhagavat Antakanda 8.12 then Lord Chaitanya and his devotees all jubilantly jumped into the waters. Oh. In bracket Narendra Lake end of bracket 8.13 o brothers, now hear the pastimes.
Upon Raya.
Performed by Sri Krishna Chaitanya Bhatar in the waters of Narendra Sarovar previously how Lord Sri Krishna Chaitanya and his cowherd boyfriends and his cowherd boyfriends.
Wild circles.
Formed circles and enjoyed water spots in the Jamuna river. In the Jamuna River. 8.15 in the same way Lord Chaitanya and his devotees.
And the front of this.
What's that?
Five stars?
Okay. Bracket Vaishnavas end of bracket now form circles in the water by holding each other's hands. 8.16 we read in the same way. They began their water spot with one well known Bengali water spot named Kaya. So the water spot they played is named Koya. 8.17 all the Vaishnavas called out. They clapped their hands in the water and produced musical sounds by hitting the water in a certain way. 8.18 the devotees became in the mood of the cowherd boys of Gokul Absorbed in the mood of the cowherd boys of Gokul and the Lord accepted the mood of Krishna Avatar the Lord of Goku.
The Lord is in the water sports.
So the devotees in their water spots.
Came in a wood of the Palais.
Every Dara he became in the mood of the cohort boys in Vrindavan and.
Krishna Chaitanya all of them like Krishna would do.
So Krishna Chaitanya was reciprocating with all of them like Krishna would do in the Jamuna River. 8.19 Forgot everything External External and fearlessly splashed water on Lord Chaitanya's body. 8.120 Began by splashing water on each other in a great sporting mood. While vigorously splashing water in the eyes of each other. Sometimes a data charger would be defeated and in the next moment Lord Chaitanya would be defeated Purport by his Divine Reshla Bhakti, Siddhanta, Saraswati, Thakur, Srila Prabhupada. The word Nirghata means forcefully or vigorously. Chaitanya Bhagavad, Antakanda 8.122 and Sri Puri Goswami all began water fighting each other. I have.
Out of three.
Yet out of three of them none of them were defeated. 8.12 3. Mukunda Bhatta and Murari Gupta at repeated water wars in which they shouted loudly in transcendental ecstasy. In which the two shouted loudly in transcendental ecstasy. 8.124 the two friends and Saurabh Dhamudar Goswami laughing as they splashed water on each other in transcendental ecstasy.
All your soldiers of Lord Chaitanya and.
Gave them water war so all the associates of Lord Chaitanya were engaged in water pastimes and shower and they were splashing each other. 8.125 to 126 Haridas Thakur, Vakreshwar, Pandit Gangadas, Gopinath and Chandrasekhar all became overwhelmed in the transcendent in the transcendental ecstasy of Lord Chaitanya's pastimes as they splashed water on one another. 8.127 Hundreds of thousands of people in the water took great pleasure took great pleasure as Lord Balaram, Lord Krishna and Sri Govinda the Bijay Vigraha. 8.128 on all sides the householders, Sanyasis and the Brahmacharis all spotted in the water all spotted in the waters of Narendra Saro in experiencing transcendental bliss floated in the waves purport by his Divine grace. The word Bisha refers to materially attached person in the Grihasta Ashrama. So here everyone became absorbed in the mood of Lord Chaitanya and was remembering the pastimes of the cowhead boys in Gokula.
Became spontaneously.
And everyone became spontaneously in ecstasy splashing water on each other. 8.129 the spiritual influence of Lord Chaitanya.
As such.
Is such less fortunate persons.
But neither see nor enter that place.
But neither see or enter that place did not have the power to either see or enter or enter that place. 8.30 those who are less fortunate cannot be the members of Sri Chaitanya's group.
Is only until.
Chaitanya Gosai is only controlled by devotion purport by His Divine grace. Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarstati Thakur Srila Prabhupada 1 is not qualified to be induced among to be included among the associates of R. Chaitanya simply on the strength of ordinary piety or advanced moral life. Accomplishments in extraness, desires, primitive activities, speculative knowledge and mystic perfections are examples of insignificant piety. Pure devotional service alone is able to diminish the reactions of such activities and only then is one able to attain the mercy of Lord Sri Krishna. Chaitanya Dev in his Commentary on the Vedanta Sutra 3.3.50 Srimad Bhacharya has quoted the Matar Shruti as follows, Only devotional service can lead one to the personality of God. Only devotional service can help a devotee to meet the supreme Lord face to face. The supreme personality of Godhead is attracted by devotional service and as such the ultimate supremacy of Vedic knowledge rests in knowing the science of devotional service and in Vedanta Sutra 3.3.54 Sri Madhvacharya has quoted the following verse Translation Lord Vishnu dwells in devotional service. The supreme Lord Vishnu is controlled only by devotional service. Only through devotional service can one attain his Darshan and only through devotional service does he award one liberation.
One may be a very pious person.
So one may be a very pious person and perform lots of good karma charities, special jagyas, what the only way.
To see Krishna if you want Yoga.
The only right to see Krishna is through Bhakti Yoga.
All this good karma will not bring one to Krishna.
All these good karmas will not bring one to Krishna.
That's why consider the most all the time.
Therefore Lord Chaitanya is considered the most merciful avatar.
You have to go out as a Lord without considering one of us qualified.
So that because he would give out the mercy of Lord Krishna without considering one is qualified or not. 8.131 Knowledge and austerity has no have no value without devotional service. They bring only misery. Proficiency in knowledge and austerities that are opposed to the service of the Supreme Lord certainly rest in distress sorry result in distress. Only a person who has devotion to the Supreme Lord is qualified in real knowledge and austerity purport by his divine race. Srila Bhakti, Siddhanta, Sarasoti Thakurushila Prabhupada in the RMAD Bhagavatam 11.12.9 it is stated, even though one engages with great endeavor in the mystic yoga system, philosophical speculation, charity, vows, finances and ritualistic sacrifices, teaching the Vedic mantras to others, personal study of the Vedas or the renounced order of life, still one cannot achieve me. The RMAD Bhagavatam 11.142021 further states My dear Uttava, the unalloyed devotional service rendered to me by my devotees brings me under their control. I cannot be thus controlled by those engaged in mystic yoga, Sankhya philosophy, pious work, Vedic study, austerity and renunciation. Only by practicing unalloyed devotional service with full faith in me can one obtain me the supreme personality of Godhead. I am naturally dear to my devotees who take me as their only goal of their loving service. By engaging in such pure devotional service, even dog eaters can purify themselves from the contamination of their low birth. So this illustrates how no amounts of pious activities, including online orders.
Including Father.
Yala, including Pranayama and others.
Can lead one Realize a supreme personality ought to.
Can lead one to realize the supreme personality of God hate.
Krishna says not controlled or anything Until.
Krishna says that he is not controlled by anything but pure devotional service.
From South India I surprise Allah Chenning Kai Krishna she achieved more in the years of mystic yoga practice.
So one Yogini in South India she was surprised by how by chanting Hare Krishna could she could achieve what.
A week what took her years.
In weeks. So what she could achieve in week she could achieve in weeks, but she couldn't achieve in years. By practicing mystic Yoga one can realize the superiority of devotional service by the blissful Sankirtan pastimes of Lord chaitanya in Nilachal 8.133 all the so called Mahajanas in Sannyasis.
Because we saw pastimes were.
Unable to see such blissful pastimes because.
They were less fortunate.
Because they were less fortunate. 8.134 they would say why did leave the study of Vedanta.
Or Horace.
For what purpose he should.
By making a big show.
And records by making a big show and records of Kirtan Purport by his Divine Grace Ac Srila Bhakti, Siddhanta, Saraswati Thakur Srila Prabhupada the impersonalistic so called Vedantis who cannot understand the actual purport of Vedanta become arrogant with pride over their knowledge, nourished by false ego rather than becoming intoxicated with ecstatic love for Krishna. They are logicians, self proclaimed scholars, averse to service and bewildered by false ego. In The Haribhakti Vilasa 11.181 The Vishnu Dharmottara is quoted as follows. Translation A person who chants the two syllables has already studied the four Vedas Tama, Rukh, Jajur and Atharva studied the Vedas tries already in the Haribhakti Villas 11.182 in the Skandha Purana is his quoted translation. My dear son, my dear son, there is no need to study the Rig Veda, there is no need to study the Jajurveda and there is no need to study the Sama Veda. Just always chant the names of holy names of Hari such as the Padma Purana is quoted in the Haribhakti Villas 11.183 as follows. One name of Lord Vishnu is superior to all the Vedas and one name of Lord Rama is equal to thousands thousand names of Lord Vishnu. Once she see Also Srimad Bhagavatam 3.33.7 in the Naradiya Purana 25.54 it is stated translation persons who study the study Vedanta are always peaceful for giving self control and free from dualities false ego and false sense of proprietorship.
Chanting the holy names of Hari Chanting.
The holy names of Hari is a.
Perfection of Bhakti Yoga Is the perfection of Bhakti Yoga by chanting the names.
Or by chanting the names of Hari or Hare Krishna.
I want spontaneously achieves all the knowledge of the Vedas one.
Spontaneously achieve all the knowledge of the Vedas. 8.135 the duty of a sannyasi is to always practice pranayama.
And crying but.
Lord Chaitanya is dancing and crying instead. Is this is a business of a sannyasi question mark purpose by his divine grace. The occupation of non devotee, so called sannyasis is to always remain engaged in the practice of Puraka, kumbaka and Rechaka. Inhaling the breath is called Puraka, sustaining it within is called Kumbaka and finally exhaling it is called Rechaka. But Tridenti sannyasis are concerned with controlling the three urges of the body, mind and speech. The duty of a genuine Tridhandi sanyasis inclined to the service of Lord Krishna is to perform kirtan rather than observing silence, display anger to those who are envious of devotees, make friendship with devotees and engage in the service of Lord Krishna rather than engaging the body, mind and speech in pursuit of sense gratification. But foolish proud people consider dancing and singing in ecstatic love for Krishna as equal to dancing and singing based on material enjoyment, that is the foolishness of those who profess to be synthesizers of matter and spirit. So this chanting and dancing of the devotees, the Harinam sankirtan is transcendental.
It's transcendental and what the foolish pundits.
Do not understand, but the foolish pundits does not understand the transcendental nature of this devotional service such as Shravanam Kirtanam and other nine practices of devotional service. 8.136 Best of the sanyasis, however would say Shri Krishna Chaitanya is a mahajan. 8.137 Some persons would call Lord Chaitanya a Jnani and some persons would call him a great devotee.
And they say they would praise him.
In this way. They would praise him.
But no one.
Knows as well identity, but no one knows his real identity. 8.138 in this way all the Vaishnavas.
Enjoyed spinning in the water.
Enjoyed spotting in the water in great jubilation with The supreme personality of Godhead. 8.139 previously, as they would enjoy water spots in the Jamuna, all these devotees all these devotees enjoyed the same water spots enjoyed the same water spots with Lord. Sri Chaitanya Rai Sri Chaitanya Rai Sri chaitanya bhagavat antyakanda 8.140 the same mercy attained by the Ganges and the Jamuna that supreme mercy was achieved was now attained by Rangasar was now attained by Narendra Sharogar. Sri chaitanya Bhagavat Antyakanda 8.141 all these pastimes were performed to deliver the living entities by hearing and studying these topics. Once bondage to fruitive activities is destroyed.
Thoughts are these studying and hearing the.
Topics like these studying and hearing these topics. Please 1. From the bondage to karma, the repetition of birth and death.
But these pastimes are not material.
So these pastimes are not material.
They have descended from the spiritual world.
They have descended from the spiritual world.
Shows how one can attain transcendental bliss.
So hearing about them shows how one can attain transcendental bliss and the association of the Supreme Lord in the association with the Supreme Lord. Thus ends the chapter entitled the Past Times on the. Okay, Gurmaj will be back after a few minutes and those devotees who have just arrived in Mayapur, please wait. Thus ends the chapter entitled the Pastimes on the waters of Narendra Sarovar. On the water of Narendra Sarovar under the section Chaitanya Mahaprabhu accepts Prasadam from his devotees, the Mayavadis. They like to be very serious. But Lord Chaitanya showed how being very jubilant is all right in devotional service. So I would like to offer my best wishes to everyone. Krishnir Matirastu.
