The following is a morning class given by His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaj on June 3, 2023 in Dallas, Texas, USA. The class begins with a reading from the Srimad Bhagavatam 7th Canto chapter 12, verse 1 through.

Anyone would like to repeat.

Johi.

Praise God. So sorry, we're just going straight into the translation. So Translation Narada Muni said a student should practice completely controlling his senses. He should be submissive and should have an attitude of firm friendship for the spiritual master with a great vow. The Brahmachari should live at the Guru pool only for the benefit of the Guru. Pretty much. There's no purport to this verse. So shall we go to the next or there's no purport for this verse, so I can go to the next. Okay, next is text 2. Sangya Ubhechayatabha, Japan Brahma Samahitaha translation at both junctions of day and night, namely in the early morning and in the evening, he should be fully absorbed in thoughts of the spiritual master Fire, the Sun God and Lord Vishnu, and by chanting the Gayatri Mantra, he should worship them. Next verse Being called by the spiritual master, the student should study the Vedic mantras regularly every day before beginning his studies and at the end of his studies, the disciples should respectfully offer a basis unto the spiritual master. Four more, four more, four more, four more. Okay, just read the translation. This is to Text number four. Carrying pure Kusha grass in his hand, the Brahmachari should dress regularly with a belt of straw and with deer skin garments. He should wear matted hair, carry a rod and water pot, and be decorated with a sacred thread, as recommended in the Sastras. Text number five. The Brahmacharya should go out morning and evening to collect alms, and he should offer all that he collects to the spiritual master. He should eat only if ordered to take food by the spiritual master. Otherwise, if the spiritual master does not give this order, he may sometimes have to fast. Text number 6. A Brahmacharya should be quite well behaved and gentle and should not eat or collect more than necessary. He must always be active and expert, fully believing in the instructions of the spiritual master and the Saha. Fully controlling his senses. He should associate only as much as necessary with women or those controlled by women. Her for my Srila Prabhupada a Brahmacharya should be more A Brahmacharya should be very careful in associating with men who are attached to women. In the purport by Srila Prabhupada to text number six of chapter 12, seven. Yes.

There's these verses I tell about Ramachai.

Like so these verses are telling about Brahmachari life.

And this is a traditional system.

And this is a traditional system.

Here Rala Gullahs, they have a system. Unless the spiritual master called you, he wouldn't take Prasad.

So here Srila Prabhupada is telling us that unless the spiritual master told you, you couldn't take Prasad.

Since we started out in ISKCON we have 11 gurus and 100 main temples.

So since we started out in iskcon we have 11 gurus and 108 temples.

About 150 gurus, 800 devils.

Now we have about 150 gurus and 800 temples.

Saw the Shambhava, it's not possible under these circumstances to have this.

It's not possible under these circumstances to have this problem.

He did say that in 1975.

But sheer Bhagwat, he did say 1975.

In this, in my work it's called my board. All that you should have 10,000 initiating gurus.

That we should have 10,000 initiating gurUS.

After 10,000 we should have 100,000.

And after 10,000 we should have 100 thousand.

After 100,000 you should have a million.

And after 100,000 we should have a million.

After a million it was not 10 million.

Now that a million is about 10 million.

So the GBC has recently figured out that we need a lot more groups.

The GDC recently has figured out that we need a lot more groups.

And they passed Orange Legion saying that Iran disciples negotiate, you know, promise of their guru.

They passed in the legislation that even the disciples, they could be initiating gurus.

If a guru orders them to go through a process reorganized.

If the guru orders them to be recognized as an initiating guru.

So I personally like to see hundreds of my disciples become spiritual masters.

I mean, I personally like to see hundreds of my disciples become spiritual masters.

But we also saw that Prabhupada 7 in 1969.

But we also saw that Srila Prabhupada.

Said in 1969 that when I learned a guru, he should have Bhaktivedanta degree.

That men or women to be a guru should have Bhaktivedanta degree.

And so since I've been studying that, I like to have Any spiritual masters.

So since I've been stating that I'd like to have many spiritual masters.

I this morning also at the wish housewife and that two year old devotees I say oh, I own this nation too.

So hearing that this morning Bhakti brushodraswaram was saying that two year old devotees were saying oh, I would also be like to be initiated guru.

Although people are really because it's the second initiative 10 years.

Of course, GDC says that they should be secondly initiated for 10 years.

And then Baba and son they said located under degree.

That said they should have it under degree.

That time there was no Chaitanya Charita Amrita.

At that time there was no Chaitanya Charita Amrita.

He said they should study the teachings of Lord Caitanya.

Otherwise he said they could study the teachings of Lord Caitanya.

Afterwards the Bhakti Sara Loma was including the Chaitanya Charitam Rita.

So afterwards the Baptista of Obdoma was including the Chaitanya Charitamarita.

But that's not. I heard Vrindava just starting it.

I mean, I heard a rumor that maybe in Vrindava they're just starting it.

At least five to learn the degree.

At least Bhakti Vedanta degree for the new devotees.

All right, all devotees all on the sidewalks Islam.

I mean like proper disciples and all devotees. They figure that if they've been in ISKCON for this long, at least they should have the Bhakti Vidanagazi.

They can be go through the process of rehearsal masters.

They could go through the process of being spiritual masters.

Many devotees.

We'Re hearing that a lot of devotees they've been saying, oh, it's not for me.

See, Aviva Rani said what to take responsibility.

You see, every devotee should want to take responsibility.

That he had to write at least one disciple.

At least I remember that on Chaitanya was telling Sharanga Thakur that he should make at least one disciple. I pleased.

He told many times.

He told many times.

Finally Sonic Dr. I'm even the first person. I think tomorrow I'll initiate him.

So finally Shanda doctor said okay. Anyways, the first person I see tomorrow I'll initiate him.

Then I thought the Ganges.

So he went down to the Ganges and took his early morning bath.

You still have a dead body? I was drowning the Ganges, floating down the Ganges.

It just so happened that a dead body drowned in the Ganges and was floating down the Ganges bit by a snake or something. Anyways, it touched me.

This is the first person I saw.

This is the first person I saw.

He gave him Andra.

He gave him Andra.

To get back to life. And became one of the dynamic creatures of Lord Chaitanya Sankirta movement.

He became one of the dynamic creatures of Lord Chaitanya Sankirta movement.

He known as Murari Chaitanya.

And he became known as Murari Chaitanya.

And because he already died, he was not afraid of death.

And because he already died, he was not afraid of death.

He'd ride on a rack of tigers.

He would ride on back of tigers in a village. Wow.

Wow.

Tigers like 8ft long.

Tigers are like 8ft long. They weigh like over a ton.

And then usually they eat people.

And usually they eat people.

They dried them on fire.

But so he dried in on a tiger.

Tiger surrender.

Everybody was surrender.

Active preacher.

He was kind of an active preacher.

He learned chant jump up silently on a Ganges. So he wanted to chant for 30 days.

So he wanted to chant Japa silently. So he'd go into the Ganges and chant for two, three days. I think he did amazing things. Anyways, he had thousands of disciples.

Had what? And Sharama Thakur had one got one and thousands.

And that one had thousands.

And this way the Sankirtan movement express.

And so this way the Sankirtan movement expands.

And here it tells Brahmacharis be very careful talking over the lemon of soil.

So here it tells how Brahmacharis should be very careful talking to women and so on.

9 Candle 14, Chapter 36 Verse 9.

So here's your life of Bengal. And they don't worry about all.

But he inspired all of them being all right.

But he inspired all of them to become very Ka consciousness.

And he went house to house, shop to shop with his kirtan party.

He went house to house, shop to shop with his kirtan party.

And Ali lived in the Adi Satagamotis.

And all the people who lived there in Adi Sapigram became devotees.

I think Baba is the descendant of one of those prominent associates.

Actually, Srila Prabhupada is a descendant of one of those Brahmin associates like.

This Lord Linden. I went right as places and did his Sankhyat.

So like this Lord Nithyananda went to various places and did his Sankirta.

One day he was sitting under a banyan tree on the side of the Ganges.

And by him the child of the royal gods.

Tells about Raghunath Das Goswami.

He was the heir of a very rich family.

Received about 12 million gold coins a year.

His unborn father received about 12 million gold coins a Year.

Now one ounce of gold is worth $1,700.

One year old oil frozen the mill all year.

Or a fraction of that.

Lord Chaitanya told him not the monkey renunciate.

Lord Chaitanya then told him not to be a monkey.

Renunciate and just renounce running life and demonstrate the monkey.

And just renounce family life and imitate a monkey.

For you. You want to learn Chaitanya. What you can keep your heart out Lord Krishna and work outwardly through their activities responsibly, materially.

So then you said even Lord Chaitanya you said you can keep your heart on Lord Krishna but do your regular family responsibilities.

Like the woman or any woman who has a lower omen of Like a.

Married woman who has a lover other than her husband.

She'll do her household affairs very carefully.

She'll do her household affairs very carefully.

But her heart will always be with her lover.

But her heart will always be with her lover.

Like that. Keep your heart with your son. Do your elderly. Do your activities.

Like that. Keep your heart on Krishna. But outwardly keep keep do your responsibilities.

So I did that for about a year. And the problems that happened Then that year also joined the cc.

So he did that about a year and then problems happened. But that year also he was giving out the cc.

He was silent. He'd go and see Lord Nithyananda.

He decided he'd go and see Lord Nithyananda.

And then he saw the door. Nithai was there under the tree. His arm and the visits.

So he went there and Nithaya was there sitting under the tree. And he bowed down from a distance. So one of the secretaries of Lord Nithyananda spotted him.

There is Lord is Raghuna Das.

There is Raghuna Das. He's dying down.

Oh. He liked our feet down.

And said oh, he's like a thief. He always stays away.

Come here, I'll punish you.

Come here, I'll punish you. Normally nobody wants to be punished.

He stayed there a while. Any other reasons?

He stayed there in paying his obeisances.

And Lord Nananda came up. What the Lord was put on his.

Head and Lord Nitananda came up.

I punish you today.

Lord Nitananda came up. Lord. His foot on his head. And he said, I am punishing you today.

What did the mama have known? Known to be very funny.

Punishment. You have a thief Paul rice dosage.

So accept my punishment. You have to feed all the associates. Cheetah and doi.

And yogurt.

Black rice and yogurt with Fruits with fruits.

And also flat rice and condensed milk with fruits of grain.

Also flat rice with condensed milk and things.

I mean, for a billionaire, if you reckless cereal, not a big deal.

I mean, for a billionaire to feed a breakfast cereal, it's no big deal.

Right? And all of his sons, I mean.

But to get the mercy of Lord Nityananda to feed all the associates, that was a real.

A real blessing.

That was a real blessing.

So then Radhanakas accepted the punishment very willingly.

So Rabanadasi accepted the punishment very willingly.

And he had secondaries.

Secretaries go out and buy the clean pots, flat rice, yogurt and fruits.

And actually they were worried. Karam Mahotsav feast. Feast.

Actually the word came out mahotsav feast, feast. And everybody suddenly became the associates of.

The whole field filled up with devotees.

Lord E to Nanda. He gave him seven pots.

Got two pots.

And everyone who came, they got two pots.

One yogurt, one condensed milk.

One yogurt and one condensed milk.

And flat rice, fruits.

And flat rice and fruits.

Now let's sense what Nididanda got. Sound.

And since Lord Nithyananda got seven, when.

He thought here in the USA Nirvanajidana, he said.

So we thought here in New Panihati we could make as many.

Preparations as we could from troubles Honda and the carnival birds, from tropical countries. We have the tropical fruits like mango lychee. Mango lychees, bananas.

Bananas.

And from the here at the West, Georgia, you have pizzas here in the West.

Since I have sound thoughts for what they're doing now, we can do so.

Since we are Nitinola have seven parts Then he thought well, let's see what we can use. So anyways, morning.

From South India by meditation.

He brought Lord Chaitanya from South India by meditation.

Although he was invisible to almost everyone.

Although he was invisible to almost everyone. Then he, Lord Nityananda and Lord Chaitanya they walked through the crowd of people.

I see the whole field filled with people.

They were seeing that the whole field is filled with people.

People are standing on the Ganges.

So people also standing on the Ganges bank.

After they filled up the bank.

Then after they filled up the bank.

We start standing in the Ganges.

They started standing in the Ganges under.

Their knees, up to their knees. And everyone was taking two pots.

And everybody was standing like this with their two pots. They had their cheetah with yogurt and cheetah with condensed milk.

And then there's a little large Chaitanya.

They walked out with Lord Chaitanya who was invisible. They walked together. So Lord Nityananda took some cheer from others pots and fed into the mouth.

Of Lord Chaitanyanda would take up a.

Morsel and put it into the air and just and Lord Chaitanya would take a portion from someone's pot and put it into the mouth of Lord Ijananda.

Those are right observed. I feel so right in the air.

And thus we're very observant. They I could see some Chiradori rise into the air into Lord Nijananda.

On the royal panda. He came and told Natadinama but.

I.

Really lunch for you.

So Raghavappandit he came and told Lord Nithyananda that I made a lunch for you.

He said But Lord Nitaya he said I'm a coward.

I'm going to take you quickly.

I like taking picnic with my coward friends.

So he was like Krishna and Balaram with coward boys in Vrindavan they would.

Take prasadam on the side of the Zora on the side of the Yamuna and Sahar. Lord Chaitanya, Lord Krishna. Each boy thought he was looking at.

Him Somehow Lord Krishna he did a miracle that each boy thought that Krishna was looking at him.

How is it possible?

How is it possible to be looking at everyone?

To be looking at everyone for Krishna.

For Krishna he can do anything. It's possible.
