R. Caitanya Charitamrita Antialila chapter 17, text 40.

Translation to the verse Shaitanya Mahapur continued. My dear friend, the supreme personality of God at Ka has a voice as deep as a cloud resounding in the sky.

With the tinkling of his ornaments he attracts the ears of the Gopis. And with the sound of his flute he attracts even the Goddess of Fortune and other beautiful women. That personality of Godhead known as Madan Mohana whose joking words carry many indications and deep meanings is increasing the lusty desires of my heart Purport. This verse is found in the Govinda Lilam Rita 8.5.

So this section of the Chaitanya Charitamrita.

So this section of the Caitanya Charitamrita.

The final passage. The final passage called the Antialila.

It's called the Antialila.

Lord Chaitanya came for three reasons.

Lord Caitanya came for three reasons.

The first reason was to start the Sankirtan sacrifice.

The first reason was to start the Sankirtan sacrifice.

They did that throughout his life.

He did that throughout his life.

When the devotees from Bengal would come to Jagadhuri Rajyatra when the devotees from.

Bengal would come to Jagannath Puri for.

Rathayatra and stay for the four months of the rainy season.

And stay for the four months of the rainy season.

At that time, Lord Chaitanya doing Sankirtan.

But when devotees went back to Bengal after the Kartik month.

When the devotees went back to Bengal.

After the Kartik month, he godfully hazard and the other purposes of his coming.

He got fully observed in the other.

Purposes of his coming that Rukmini Devi had said. Although he knew everything, one thing that he didn't know. Balramani knew, Romani knew that he didn't know.

So Rukmini was telling him that he knows everything. But there's one thing he doesn't know and that Rukmini knows. Radharani knows. But he doesn't know.

So then he asked what that was.

So then he asked what that was.

And she told him, you don't know how much your devotees value so then.

She told him, you don't know how much your devotees love you.

And in what way we love you.

And in what way we love you.

He said he would come in Kali Yuga as a devotee to study these things.

So he said he would come in Kali Yuga as a devotee to study these things.

So he took the bala, the mood Ararani.

So he took the bhava, the mood of Radharani.

And the color of Radharani.

And the color of Radharani.

He came as Go Ranga.

And came as Go Ranga.

Now this part is where Lord Chaitanya is analyzing the mood of Radharani of the Gopis.

So this part is where Lord Chaitanya is analyzing the mood of Radharani, the.

Gopis and their love for Lord Krishna.

And their love for Lord Krishna.

There are five rasas.

And so there are five rasas. Neutral Rasa, Neutral Rasa, Dasa, Rasa, Dasya Rasa, Sakya Rasa, Sakya Rasa.

Vatsalya Rasa.

Vatsalya Rasa and Madhuriya Rasa.

And so this he is now focusing on the Madhuriya Rasa. Shi Caitanya Charitamrita Anthyalila Chapter 17 Text.

Krishna's deep voice is more resonant than newly arrived clouds. And his sweet song defeats even the sweet voice of the cuckoo. Indeed, his song is so sweet that even one particle of its sound can inundate the entire world. If such a particle enters one's ear, one is immediately bereft of all other types of hearing.

There's a history how one yogi was meditating in a cave.

There is a history how one yogi was meditating in a cave.

Another Himalayan mountains.

In the Himalayan mountains.

And somehow he heard the flute playing or the song sung by Lord Krishna.

And somehow he heard the flute playing or the song sung by Lord Krishna.

And once it entered into his ear, then Sahili came mad.

So once it entered into his ear, then he became like mad.

He wanted to hit his head on the rock.

He wanted to hit his head on the rock.

He became very impatient.

He became very impatient.

Shi Caitanya Charitamrita Anjalila Chapter 1742.

My.

Dear friend, please tell me what to do. My ears have been plundered by the qualities of Krishna's sound. Now, however, I cannot hear his transcendental sound and I am almost dead for want of it.

Krishna, he would attract the ears, the minds of the devotees and Raja.

So Ka, he would attract the ears, the minds of the devotees of Vraja.

And then they were deprived of Krishna's association.

And then when they were deprived of.

Ka's association, when they went to Vhara and prayed.

When he went to Mathura and freed Devaki and Vasudeva and.

Went.

To Dwarka, he went to Dwarka.

The devotees of Raja thought they were going to die.

The devotees of Raja thought they were going to die.

Such.

They were in such separation.

Chapter 17 text 43 Krishna Madhurjo Bornoni Hong Kong.

Should she repeat?

Okay. Translation okay.

It goes on.

The tinkling of Krishna's ankle bells surpasses the songs of even the swan and crane. And the sound of his bangles puts the singing of the Chataka bird to shame. Having allowed these sounds to enter the ears even once, one cannot tolerate hearing anything else.

Krishna the word Ka means all attractive, reservoir of all pleasure.

So the word Ka means all attractive, the reservoir of all pleasure.

Once one has awakened their Ka consciousness.

And once one has awakened their Ka.

Consciousness and no other thing will subsidiary.

And then there is no other thing which will subsidy.

44 Krishnair Bachon Madhurja Born on She Srimu Khobhashito Amrito Hoite Poramrito Smith.

Krishna's speech is far sweeter than nectar. Each of his jubilant words is full of meaning and when his speech mixes with his smile, which is like camphor, they result in sound. And the deep meaning of Ka's words create various transcendental mellows.

We cannot imagine the speech of the Supreme Personality Godhead.

We cannot imagine the speech of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

He speaks, He's a Persian.

He speaks, He's a Persian.

He's so attractive that his voice, ankle bells, ornaments everything.

He's so attractive that his voice, ankle bells and everything attracts one rhyme, attracts one's mind.

So the devotee, especially the Raja rajas, they appreciate Krishna's natural duty.

So the devotees, especially the Brajabasis, they appreciate Ka's natural beauty and.

They are never satiated by it.

And they are never satiated by it.

So they can speak, remembering all the aspects of Krishna's speech.

So they can speak, remembering all the.

Aspects of Ka's speech, his threefold bending.

Form Everything about Krishna, his threefold bending form. Everything about Krishna, they love him.

And in this love they feel the most intense natural ecstasy.

And in this love they feel the most intense natural ecstasy.

Caitanya charitamrita antialila chapter 17, text 45 one particle of that transcendental blissful nectar is the life and soul of the ear, which is like a chakora bird that lives in hope of tasting that nectar. Sometimes by good fortune the bird can taste it, but at other times he unfortunately cannot and therefore almost dies of thirst.

A chacora bird, a bird that only drinks rainwater from a cloud.

The chacora bird is a bird that only drinks rainwater from a cloud and others.

If there's a drought and no rain cloud, then he gets no water.

And if there's a drought and no rain cloud, then he gets no water.

And then almost dies of thirst and starvation.

Then he almost dies of thirst of starvation.

So we compare dinner and the Lordy nectar. A Krishnas transcendental sounds so the comparison.

Is given that if a devotee tastes the nectar of Krishna's transcendental sounds like.

A chokora bird does want to hear more and more.

They're like a chakora bird who just want to hear more and more.

Being deprived of that, they almost die of thirst.

Being deprived of that, they almost die of thirst.

Chapter 17, text 46 the transcendental vibration of Ka's flute disturbs the heart of women all over the world even if they hear it only once. Thus their fastened belts become loose and these women become the unpaid maidservants of Ka. Indeed, they run towards Ka exactly like mad woman.

This one chapter is just explaining Ka's sound.

So this one chapter is just explaining Ka's sound.

Krishna are explained in different chapters.

So different aspects of Ka are explained in different chapters.

This chapter is focusing how wonderful are the sounds that come from Krishna.

And this chapter is explaining how wonderful the sounds that are coming from Ka.

His eyes, his flute, his ornaments, his.

Voice, his flute, his ornaments and.

Andraja. The women are especially there because of their eternal relationship.

In Vraja, the women are there especially because of their eternal relationship with Krishna.

Krishna had no desire.

Krishna had no desire.

He's transcendental.

He's transcendental.

But he satisfies his Lord is by giving his transcendental association.

But he satisfies his devotees by giving his transcendental association.

Shri Caitanya Charitam richa Anchalilla Chapter 17.

Text 47 Lokhiro Krishna Madhurja Shadane Lo Bintu Ashamurtho Je Balo Kitakurani Teho Jeka Kulishoni Krishna Pasha Ayesha Napai Krishna Roshan.

When she hears the vibration of Krishna's flute, even the Goddess of fortune comes to him greatly hoping for his association but nevertheless she does not get it. When the waves of thirst for his association increase, she performs austerities but still she cannot meet him.

I sing is our eternal consort of Krishna. Swarm Ras Narayana Lakshmi is the eternal.

Consort of Krishna's form as Narayana and.

Therefore she always has. Our point of vision is very opulent.

And therefore she always has From a point of vision she is very opulent.

Raja Lodhi they may or may not know that Ka is the supreme personality.

Godhead in Vraja the Brijvasis they may or may not know that Ka is the supreme personality of Godhead.

But it's not very important to them.

But it's not very important to them.

Their love for Krishna is unconditional.

Their love for Krishna is unconditional.

And since Lakshmi has this avalanche and since Lakshmi Oh.

Since Lakshmi has this opulent vision, she didn't fit in.

She couldn't achieve Ka's association even though she did Tapasya she couldn't achieve Ka's.

Association even when she did Tapasya to get it. To get it.

This shows that Narayana is a part of Ka.

This shows that Narayana is a part of Ka.

Because if he was the supreme, then whatever Lakshmi wanted he could get.

Because if he was the supreme, then whatever Lakshmi wanted she could get.

But since Krishna supreme, then Lakshmi was refused.

But since Ka is supreme, then Lakshmi was refused.

Only the most fortunate can hear these four nectarian sounds. Krishna's words, the tinkling of his ankle bells and bangles, the voice, his voice and the vibration of his flute. If one does not hear these sounds, his ears are as useless as small conch shells with holes.

So a real purpose of ears is to hear these four transcendental sounds.

So the real purpose of ears is to hear these four transcendental sounds.

And by practicing Bhakti Yoga and by practicing Bhakti Yoga, by chanting Hare Ka.

And by chanting Hare Ka, gradually one.

Awakens the desire to be with Krishna.

Yes, all the technicians. They always take blessings.

Yes, all of them. Any God mashing the oil also Very well. Thank you.

Any questions?

Har Krishna. Guru Maharaj, please accept my. At your lotus feet. Guru Maharaj, we have heard through Srimad Bhagavatam how Krishna appears. How he has curly hair man muskaan. And how he walks. But I've always been curious how he's like. How his voice sounds like. How he speaks. I've never come across. Maybe I have not come across how Krishna. You know how his voice he hears like. Can you give me an idea, Guru Maharaj? How that is?

It says only the most fortunate.

It says only the most fortunate.

So you would know, Guru Maharaj.

Although our. So we should be so fortunate that we can hear Ka's voice.

I mean in other words, we should be so fortunate that we could hear Krishna's voice, his song, his flute.

His flute, his ornaments.

His ornaments.

I think how fortunate the prajrasis were. I could hear Krishna talking.

Think of how fortunate the brajbasis were. They could hear Krishna's talking and singing.

His ankle bells.

His ankle bells.

His flute playing.

His flute playing.

We think, wow, I'd like to hear.

That even for a minute. They'd think, oh wow, I'd like to hear that.

That's the one desire that lead us back to the spiritual world.

That one desire. Then we go back to the spiritual world.

And quite as people are thinking other.

Things, unfortunately people are thinking other things.

And how you take birth after birth, after birth.

Now we take birth after birth, after birth.

In this material world.

In this material world.

Thinking that this thing will make me happy.

Thinking that this other thing will make me happy, then that doesn't make me happy. Then we think of something else.

I heard that there's some. For some, I don't know how much they'll freeze your body.

I heard that there's some kind of quantity. I don't know how much but they will freeze your body.

And then when the scientists find out how to bring dead body back to.

Life, then when the scientists find out how to bring the dead back to life.

They'Ll do it.

They'll do it.

It's not like post dated check.

It's not like post dated check. It's all like post dated check.

Actually the Vedas tell us life comes from life.

Actually the Vedas tell us life comes from life.

Life is in the body. Body you don't look at as long.

As the life is in the body. The body is beautiful to look at.

Because of the living force.

Because of the living force.

The atma.

The atma.

It's not some material thing you can adjust.

It's not some material thing you can adjust.

All these rich people, scientists, they don't know ABCs.

But all these rituals, the scientists, they don't know the basic ABCs of spiritual life.

Body and machine.

The body's a machine.

We need doctors to correct the machine.

We need doctors to correct the machine.

But the doctors can't put life back into a dead body.

But the doctors can't put life back into a dead body.

What are you saying? Give me a lie, I'll feed the body. The doctors figure out then they're saying.

Give me your money, we'll freeze the body. And then when the doctors figure it out, we'll give Them life.

This is a rock.

So this is a bluff.

And some are Rah Radh was in one village in India and here a simple example.

So Srila Prabhupada was in one village in India and he gave a simple example.

He said, say somebody's grandfather dies.

He said, say somebody's grandfather dies.

His wife is crying. My husband alive.

His wife is crying. My husband has left.

His sons and daughters are crying. Our father has left.

His sons and daughters are crying. My father has left.

The granddaughters, grandchildren.

The granddaughters of grandchildren are crying. My grandfather has gone.

In the village, everybody according to their.

Relationship and in the village, everyone according to their relationship. He has gone. He has gone.

The broadhat asked them who is that?

Then Srila Prabhupada asked him who has gone?

Same body. Who's there?

Same body is there.

Same hair is there.

Same hair is there. Same hands.

Who's gone?

So who's gone?

Everybody's lamenting that he's gone.

Everyone is lamenting that he's gone.

But who's gone?

But who's gone?

I see Atma, the soul is alive.

But actually it's the Atma. The soul is gone.

And that soul there, body is alive.

When the soul is there, the body is alive.

Soul not there, body is dead.

The soul is not there, the body is dead.

So let's see.

Unfortunately, that's the unfortunate thing.

People don't know the basic things are spiritual life.

People don't know these basic things of spiritual life.

My poor ashram mother, she lives in India.

My poor ashram mother, she visited India.

And she came to Prabhupada.

And she came to Srila Prabhupada.

She gave him roses every day.

She gave him roses every day.

I was surprised that Prabhupada was speaking to her about living force.

I was kind of surprised that Srila Prabhupada was speaking to her about the living force.

Such a simple language.

In such a simple language. The living force, the living force.

I never heard Prabhupada say that. Hear Atma.

I mean, I never heard Srila Prabhupada say like that. Usually we hear atman things.

What he was saying living force, you are the living force.

He was saying, the living force, you are the living force in the body. In the body.

The living force sees the body.

When you leave the body, the living force leaves the body. Then it is dead.

I heard Disney or somebody, they have their body. Rosen.

I heard Disney or somebody had their body frozen.

And then the heirs start Raining.

And then the heirs started fighting. Who's going to inherit this?

And some said, maybe he'll come back to life.

Maybe. And then someone said, maybe he'll come back to life.

A big fight. Someone pulled the cord.

So a big fight and then someone pulled the cord.

He was rotting and.

All right, he was rotting and then.

All right, I can take his money.

So then they could take his money. Any other question?

I guess our guest.

Any question, Pandaji?

Any?

Any?

So I live in New York now. I recently. And one thing about New York is lots of people, lots of events, lots of noise, lots of money. And I'm 25 years old now. And one of the things I'm thinking about is understanding how to balance living in that materialistic world and having accomplishments and meeting people and and networking, but also balancing living a peaceful, spiritual, fulfilling life. How do I at 25, who is ambitious and wants to serve my community but also not be attached to 25.

Who wants to serve my community and.

Also not be attached to so many things.

Be attached to so many things.

How do I find that balance?

How do I find that balance?

Lord Chaitanya, he told many people that they should keep their heart on Krishna.

Lord Chaitanya, he told many people that they should keep their heart on Ka.

They should do their material activities in a very responsible way.

But they should do their material activities in a very responsible way.

Give an example. Let's say a married woman has another.

Lover he gave an example that say a married woman has another lover than.

Her husband and so she does not need to suffer. And she does her activities very carefully.

And so she doesn't want to be discovered. And so she does her activities very carefully.

Household activities are very good.

Household activities are very good.

But her mind is always thinking about her lover.

But her mind is always thinking about her lover.

So Lord Chaitanya advice keep you in mind on Ka.

So Lord Chaitanya advises, keep your mind on Ka.

But do your material activities outwardly in a very responsive way.

But do your material activities outwardly in a very responsible way.

How so? He advised to balance the things.

That's how he advised to balance things.

When we first joined Krishna Gandhi, 1968.

I found that when we first joined in 1968.

We were chanting on the street.

We were chanting on the street.

And you'd see people walking by, they'd react in different ways.

We'd see people walking by and they'd react in different ways.

And somehow we were in a different atmosphere.

We were somehow we were in a Different atmosphere.

And you could see all the mental chips and things that people were going through.

We could see all the mental trips and things that people were going through.

And so being in New York, a lot of people, what you can understand what is a real commercial life.

And being in New York, you have. You meet with lots of people, but you can understand what is the real purpose of life.

And while you're in this world, in.

This life, while you're in this world, in this life, you have to.

Do things to make your family work.

You have to do things to make your family work.

My dad, ultimately you don't know that.

But ultimately you want to go back to the spiritual world.

And so that way you keep your mind on Krishna.

So in that way you keep your mind on Krishna.

Thank you.

I have a question.

So I was talking to Dr. Vinay.

I have a question also. I was talking to Dr. Vinay.

Oh.

To join Krishna or to serve his mission. Continue to serve his mission here.

Is there anything about that experience that you can share?

Is there anything about that experience that you could share?

Of course, I joined in 68.

Of course I joined in 68.

And at that time I thought my parents would be very happy.

At that time, I thought my parents would be very happy.

I called up my mother. She tried to convince me to be a Christian priest.

So I asked, I asked Srila Prabhupada, what shall I do?

He said, better you join Krishna's army.

He said, better you join Krishna's army.

So I did that. And I did.

So I did that. And I've been in this army ever since.

99%. 99% and 1% lived, I'd be a.

Vegetable and that if I'd 1% that I'd live. I'd be a vegetable and.

Someone like Krishna's mercy, I'm still able to talk.

I'm able to think.

I'm able to think.

I can't walk too.

I can't walk too much.

What? And I very also appreciate this wonderful instructions on Lord Chaitanya and I'm very much.

I'm very able to appreciate the instructions given by Lord Chaitanya.

Combining all the books on Lord Chaitanya to break them into one.

So I'm compiling all the books of Lord Chaitanya to bring them into one.

And healers, I understand the Lord Chaitanya.

So that people in English could understand about Lord Caitanya.

I don't know how long Krishna will.

Keep me here, so I don't know how long Krishna will keep me here.

I do. Well, I'm just. I'm doing a therapy now. I took the second and last therapy.

Anyways. This material world is not a very nice place.

When you're young, you don't think that way.

But when you're young, you don't think that way.

What with how Lord Chaitanya he was. Shall three see the Rao the rarees of Raja Ram. How they.

Another question.

Any other questions from Guru Maharaj's?

All right.

Mahaprabhu Jagadeesh Prabhu has a question. Last question.

Hare Krishna. Guru Maharaj, please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.

I accept it. I said that.

Thank you, Guru Maharaj. Guru Maharaj, in today's class you talked about hearing Krishna's word.

Today's class you talked about hearing Krishna's words.

Sometimes when we read Bhagavatam or read CC like we don't get that nectar as much. But when we listen to Srila Prabhupada or to you speak, we.

We don't get that much like ecstasy when we're reading Chaitanya, Charita or Bhagavatam. As much as when we would be hearing from Srila Prabhupada or from you.

So which is better? Reading alone or read or listening to Guru and Srila Prabhupada or both are equally important.

Hearing in the association of devotees is the best.

Hearing in the association of devotees is best.

Because then we can get a taste.

Because then we can get a taste.

What? But somehow or another, how to read, how to assimilate.

But somehow or another we have to read. We have to assimilate.

And every time in hear classes.

It's not that every time we could hear classes.

I currently don't read Srila Prabhupada's books.

We encourage people to read Srila Prabhupada's books.

I've been encouraging devotees to read his books.

I've been encouraging Devotees to read his books.

And they have. They have degrees.

And they have degrees.

Bhakti Shastri, Bhakti Vaiva, Bhaktivedanta, Bhakti Shastri.

Bhakti Vaibhav, Bhaktivedanta, Bhakti Sarvama. Bhakti Sarva Boma.

And some young people have got the degrees already.

Some young people have read and already got the degrees.

I read the books many times.

I read the books many times.

To get my first initiation, Prabhupada said I had to read Bhagavad Gita 10 times.

To get first initiation, Prabhupada said I had to read the Bhagavad Gita 10 times.

I say that people and they said read twice.

So I say that when people want initiation, I say read Bhagavad Gita twice.

And then people complain, say, I'll do it later.

Even then people complain or say, I'll do it later.

Give me initiative now.

Give me initiation now.

I'll finish the book in one year.

I finished the book within one year.

But I say they offered me a free honorary degree.
