Guru Maharaj's message is your address Advantage the following is a Sri Krishna Chaitanya book compilation given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on February 5, 2023 in Sridhar Mayapur.

Continuing with Sri Krishna Chaitanya book compilation, Narayan's pastime as instructing Spiritual Master and the best of Sannyasis under the section accepts Prashadam from his devotees beginning with Sri chaitanya charitamrita antialila chapter 10, text 52 after concluding his pastimes in the water, Lord Govinda returned to his residence. Then Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu went to the temple taking all his devotees with him. Report by Srila Prabhupada the deity referred to herein as Govinda is the Vijay Vigraha in the temple of Jagannath. When there is a need to take Jagannath somewhere, the Vidjaya Vigraha is taken because the body of Jagannath is very heavy. The Vijay Vigraha in the Jagannath temple is known as Govinda. For the past times in Narendra Sarovar the Vijay Vigraha was carried there instead of Lord Jagannath.

Many deities have a Vajra Many deities.

Have Vijay Vigrahas just like in Mayapur we have Vijay Vigrahas that ride on the back of the elephants and they're very small. In Lord Juggernaut temple the deities are.

Very big and heavy and Don Tazo.

And it's not possible to carry them around. So for this Narendra Sarova boat festival they have a small Vijay Vigraha of.

The deity and he would perform this.

And he would perform this boat festival.

Just like Although you take the instead of the arrival deity.

Just like in Mayapur we take the Chotaradha Matav deity on our boat festival instead of the.

Big deitys are used for different purposes like this.

Different deities are used for different purposes. On Julian Yatra a smaller deity is.

Used that is Swing festival To observe.

The Swing festival I just had a.

Similar to a festival.

It is so like this they had a Utsavmorti festival Morty to observe the boat festival and his name was Sri Govinda. Chapter 8, text 142 after finishing his water sports, Lord Chaitanya went with his devotees to see Lord Jagannath in the temple. Chapter 8, text 143.

The Lord Lord.

Chaitanya and his devotees.

All began to cry and loving ecstasy.

All began to cry and chant in loving ecstasy.

I'm seeing Lord.

On seeing Lord Jagannath Chaitanya bhagavat Antyakhanda chapter 8 text 144 on seeing Lord Jagannath, Lord Chaitanya became overwhelmed and his.

Whole body became swallowed.

And his whole body became soaked with tears of loving ecstasy. Chaitanya bhagavat antikan chapter 8 text 145.

And all.

Advaita Acharya and all the devotees in his group looked on with great satisfaction. And everyone floated in the ocean of transcendental bliss. Chaitanya bhagavat antikhan chapter 8 text 146.

Anomaly all our universe.

In two directions. There was the moving and non moving Lord of the Universe. Lord Jagannath.

Famous.

Seeing this again, again and again. The assembled devotees the assembled devotees fell.

Flat.

Fell flat offering their obeisances. The non moving form of Lord Deity is the form of Lord Jagannath, Baladev Subhadra and Sudarshan Chakra. The moving form was Lord Chaitanya.

And the Lord is watching both.

And the devotees were watching both.

And they felt great loving and offered their prostrate or vengeances.

And they felt great loving sentiments and offered their prostrate obeisances. Go Ranga Chaitanya Bhagavad Antikhan chapter 8 text 147 Kashimisha then brought Lord Juggernauts Prashadam garlands from Lord Juggernaut's tent neck, neck from Lord Juggernaut's neck.

All of them and all the assembled orders and decided.

Bringing the mala. He then offered them to all the assembled devotees and decorated their bodies.

These activities as being inspired by the Lord.

So these activities are accepted by the devotees as being inspired by Lord Jagannath. That taking the deities prasadam garlands and placing them on the bodies of the assembled devotees was considered as special mercy. Chapter 8 text 148.

Lord Chaitanya accepted the ganana of Lord Jagannath.

Lord Chaitanya accepted the garland Prashadam of Lord Jagannath with great reverence and devotion.

I think. I see. I don't know.

He was acting as the original Shiksha guru instructing spiritual master Narayan in the form dressed as a Sannyasi purport by Srila Bhakti Siddhanta. For a Sannyasi there is no prescription for accepting objects of enjoyment like sandalwood paste or scented oils. Sri Krishna Chaitanya Dev accepted the garland of Sri Jagannath with great respect to display an attitude of service and to preach in this world the purport of the verse when persons eager to achieve liberation renounce things related to the supreme Personality of Godhead, thinking them to be material, their renunciation is called incomplete.

So he doesn't haven't I haven't been all of the Krishna? Maybe I display all sense gratification.

So taking a garland that hasn't been offered to Krishna may be a display of sense gratification.

Lord Chaitanya by showing his devotion and respect.

But Lord Chaitanya by showing his devotion and respect to Lord Jagannath I.

Was teaching everyone that all things and after the Lord accepted.

He was teaching everyone that all things connected with the Lord may be accepted in his service would always take the prasadam garlands which have been offered to Lord Krishna. Chapter 8 text 149 only Lord Chaitanya knows the glories of the Vaishnavasi, the Ganga and Mahaprashad. No one else has the ability to know. Shri Mahaprabhu alone knows how to respect the Vaishnava of devotees, Tulsi Kanga and the Lord's Prashad. Apart from Sri Mahaprabhu, others consider those objects equal to ordinary objects.

Without spiritual understanding might consider these objects the ordinary material items.

So people without spiritual understanding might consider these objects to be ordinary material items.

Always showed respect and Krishna Prasada But.

Lord Caitanya is teaching how we should respect the Vaishnavas, Tulsi, the Ganges and Krishna Prasadam.

Everything.

Is transcendental that everything connected with Krishna is transcendental. Lord Shiva told Parvati how worship of Lord Vishnu is the best with one exception.

By saying all the things connected to Vishnu.

Worshiping all the things connected with Vishnu is even better. Chaitanya bhagavad antikan chapter 8 text 150 Lord Chaitanya demonstrated proper Vaishnava behavior by his own example by all respect to other Vaishnavas, by offering respect to other.

Vaishnavas and by offering them prostrate orations.

And by offering them prostrate obeisances. Airport by Srila Bhakti Siddhanta among the four Ashrams, the Sannyas Ashram is the topmost. Although he was situated in the Sannyas Ashram, Sri Gora Sundar displayed the pastime of offering obeisances to Vaishnav situated in other ashrams. If even a young boy is situated in the Sannyas Ashram, he is offered obeisances by his Father and mother. Although a father is supposed to be always respected by his son, after the son takes Sannyas, the father must offer respect to his Sannyasi son.

I lost through the system leaving his previous Ashram.

Accepting Ashram A Sannyasi goes through the system of leaving his previous Ashram and accepting the Sannyas Ashram.

A personal parents discuss my previous Akram parents.

That's why when a Sannyasi refers to his parents, he refers to him as my previous Ashram parents. Lord Chaitanya was teaching how to respect Vaishnavs.

His shine is example.

He's showing his example.

I say as Sri, he doesn't have respect.

Actually as Krishna, he doesn't have to offer respect to anyone.

But since he's giving instructions by his behavior then he does things in such a way that people should follow him.

But since he's giving instructions by his behavior, then he does things in such a way that people should follow him. Chapter 8 x 151 religious principles prescribe that a father should offer respect to his son after the sun accepts Sannyas.

So Sannyas Ashram is considered the best of all the Ashrams.

Since the Sannyas Ashram is considered the best of all the Ashrams.

The father being the host Ashram.

Therefore a father who is in the Grihasta Ashram can now offer respect to his son who has become a Sannyasi. Chaitanya bhagavad antikan chapter 8, text 152 therefore the sannyas order is to be respected by all. It is prescribed that a Sannyasi should offer obeisances to other Sannyasis.

I asked when I was in the usa, what if I meet on my body Sanyasi? What did I do?

I asked Srila Prabhupada while I was in the usa, what if I meet a Mayavadi Sannyasi? What should I do? He said a Sannyasi should always be offered respect. The Smritis have prescribed the atonement for not offering obeisances to a Sannyasi. As this is a verse. One who does not offer respect to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, to his deity in the temple or to a tree Dundees and Sannyasi must purify himself by fasting.

Wow.

In his commentary on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 5 text 2, Sri Madhvacharya quotes the Naradiya Purana as follows. The fourth spiritual order is Sannyas, in which one renounces all kinds of activities. There is no superior religious principle in the world than this. Chaitanya bhagavad antikhan chapter 8 text 1.

Taking sannyas is considered as a Mahavrata.

So taking Sannyas is considered as a Mahavrata and.

His all in all excitement.

So he is offered all respect.

If one cannot maintain the laws of Sannyas then he should not be in a Sannyas Ashram.

If one cannot maintain the vows of Sannyas then he shouldn't be in the Sannyas Ashram. Chaitanya bhagavad antikant chapter 8 text 153 still the Lord Sri Krishna was who is Shiksha Guru.

Rejected Ashram dharmas to.

Personally offer obeisances to the Vaishnavas.

Report.

Persons situated in the topmost Ashram generally show affection to persons situated in lower options. They do not offer them obeisances but Shiksha Guru Sri Krishna personally offer offers obeisances to a Vaishnava.

Is considered superior eventual.

Position Vaishnava is considered superior even to any Varnashram position.

This is said by the Shastra this.

Is said by the Shastra I say.

I start enchanting all the mantras but he is not a Raichnana and even a person born a dal eating family either the Vaishnava either they are recited.

A person can be born in a Brahmin family can be very expert in chanting all of the mantras. But if he's not a Vaishnava then a person born in a dog eating family is the one who should be offered all respect.

And Raman gurus born in a family he can only go.

The Brahmana who is not a Vaiava. He cannot be a Guru but the dog eating person who is not a Brahmana. If he is a Vaiava then he can be a guru. Sri Caitanya Charitamrita Antialila Chapter 10 Text 53 When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu returned to his residence after visiting the temple of Jagannath, he asked for a large quantity of Lord Jagannath prasadam which he then distributed among his devotees so that they could eat sumptuously. At the end of every function it's customary to distribute Prashadam. Lord Chaitanya personally did this, giving Jagannath Prashad to all his devotees. Sri Chaitanya Cheritami to Auntie Leela chapter 10 text 54 foreign after talking with all the devotees for some time, Sri Chaitani Mahaprabhu asked them to occupy the individual residences in which they had lived in the previous year.

Other Lordis had come and I got fortune as they arrived. I saw Lord Chaitanya and his Lordis from Puri.

The devotees had come and by their good fortune they had seen Lord Caitanya and his devotees from Puri.

They gave and the water source.

They engaged in the water sports.

They watched pastime.

They watched the pastime of Sri Govinda going around in the boat in Narendra Sarova. They went to see Lord Jagannath. Then they followed Lord Chaitanya to his residence.

And then they all had.

And then they all had Jagannath Prashadam.

But they are not settled in their presence.

But they had not settled in their residences.

All this happened just on their arrival.

All this happened just in their arrival.

Wow.

Wow.

But then Lord Chaitanu fell down to stay in the houses they are existing. They are staying in the previous year.

So then Lord Chaitanya told them to stay in the houses that they were staying in in the previous year. Chapter 10 text 55 Raghav Pundit delivered the bags of eatables to Govinda who kept them in a corner of the dining room. So Govinda was the personal servant of Lord Chaitanya.

For his jollies and legs of animals still rolling on us.

And Raghava brought his jalis, his bags of eatables to Govinda Das who kept them in the dining room. Chapter 10 Text 56 Govinda thoroughly emptied the bags from the previous year and kept them in another room to fill them with other goods.

I saw all the ingredients of our jolly. At last one year more.

Some of the ingredients from Raghav's jellies would last one year or more.

He took that. Govinda took that and did that.

Anything that was left from the previous year, Govinda took that and put it out. Caitanya bhagavad Anjakan chapter 8, text 154 now hear attentively the pastime of how Lord Caitanya exhibited devotion for Tulsi. Thus ends.

And that's our time over the all the great devotee and the platform Tulsi Devi.

The next pastime will be how the great devotee in plant form Tulsi Devi.

Being worshiped by Lord Chaitanya is being.

Worshiped by Lord Chaitanya. Thus ends the chapter entitled Narayan's Pastime as instructing spiritual Master and the best of Sannyasis under the section Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepts Prasadam from his devotees. It's very Important that devotees read Srila Prabhupada's books.

Prabhupada is our founder. Crya.

Prabhupada is our founder.

Crya Crya means he until he realized the truth of the scripture.

Crya means he actually realized the truth of the scripture.

And he shows by his example.

And he shows by his example. And he teaches according to the Shastra. So Prabhupada is our founder Acharya.

And therefore we should be dedicated reading his books.

And therefore we should be very dedicated to reading his books.

And the proof I read the books is that we have a Shastric degree.

And the proof that we have read the books is that we have the Shastric degree.

We understood the teachings of the book is verified by a Satric degree.

That we've understood the teachings of the books is verified by a Shastric degree.

I think my Prabhupada scholars say upon degrees.

By Prabhupada establishing the 4 degrees.

He use this as a common method to study his books.

He wanted to use this as a common method to study his books.

And also like where he said thus get the second initiation, the first how the Lakti Shasta degree.

And also there are many letters where he said those that get second initiation should have the Bhakti Shastri degree.

And he was saying that different devotees didn't show the knowledge of the scripture. All of the Brahmans So he was.

Saying that devotee their different devotees didn't show knowledge of the scriptures although they were Brahmans.

And therefore he was requesting those who want to get the second initiation that have Bhakti Shastri.

Therefore he was requesting that those that go on to get second initiation should have Bhakti Shastri.

And those who take Sannyas should have the Bhakti Vaivav degree.

And those who take Sannyas should have the Bhakti Vaibhava degree.

Then he also wrote a letter except advance otherwise to initiate I should have the.

He also in one letter said that those who go on to initiate should have the Bhaktivedanta degree.

1969 he said that they should have studied all the teachings.

But for the bhaktivedanta degree. In 1969 he said they should have studied all of the teachings of Lord Caitanya.

In a different way.

So apparently the degrees are divided up in a different way.

And that.

And the the teachings of Lord Chaitanya are the fourth degree Bhakti Sarvabh.

But this degree is not yet.

But this Degree is not yet prevalent in iskcon.

So although Iran has mostly studied agreed to be obtained, we're not very active in this.

So although Prabhupada wanted these four study degrees to be obtained we've not been very active in this yet.

And in the future if the holies read all our works, get these degrees and then they assure us in the future generations until how they correct social.

Understanding in the future if people study and get these degrees it will sure it will ensure in the future generations that people have the correct spiritual understanding.

We don't want people the so called Krishna conscious and not know the we.

Don'T want people to be so called Ka Consciousness and not know the philosophy. So it's very important that people take advantage. We have established this system by reading books for reading Srila Prabhupada's books and other books.

This will ensure that the correct philosophy is maintained throughout the generations.

This will ensure that the correct philosophy is maintained throughout the generations.

And so I was offered a honorary degree.

So I was offered an honorary degree.

But I didn't accept it.

But I didn't accept it.

I wanted to read the books again and go through the testing.

I wanted to read the books again and go through the testing.

I haven't read the books. Every time I I want to write the books six or ten times I.

Must have read the book six to ten times.

Every time I read I get no inspiration, no realization.

But every time I read I get new inspiration, new realization.

I spend every day reading one or two chapters.

I spend one every day reading one or two chapters from Bhagavatam.

And then, and that's before I go.

To sleep and that's in the morning.

I listen to Prabhupada's tapes and that's.

Before I go to sleep. Then in the morning I read Prabhupada's tapes.

I'm not counting the classes, other things.

Not counting the classes and other things.

Which are all reading.

Which are all reading.

I think it's very important so I.

Think it's very important that our GBCs, our Gurus, our sannyasis, our Brahmanas, they should have these degrees.

Not a matter of semblance, it's not.

A matter of sentiment.

Proper knowledge.

It's a matter of proper knowledge.

Krishna, have they able to read books again and again?

I'm very happy to be able to read Prabhupada's books again and again. Someone said what about people who are illiterate?

And now we have this audiobook but.

Now we have these audiobooks and they.

Can listen to the book. You know, they don't know how to read.

They can listen to the book even if they don't know how to read. They should know the Tattva. They should know the spiritual truths. Looks, please read Prabhupada's book.

Dive into the ocean.

And dive into the ocean of nectar. Assume it can be done. Die.

I heard from that Russia we have 500 people. 200 people.

I heard from Caitanya Chandra Charan Prabhu that in Russia they have 500 people studying Bhakti Shastri. They have 200 people studying Bhakti Vaibhava and 50 people studying Bhaktivedanta.

And I always saw every night and reading the book.

I also saw how Prabhupada would stay up every night translating the books. He did it for you. Are you going to associate with Prabhupada? Read his books.
