So I came here.
I came to hear from Vaisheshika Peru.
But he tricked me on the stage.
But he tricked me and put me on the stage anyways.
500 years old. They didn't have many books.
500 years ago they didn't have many books.
The books were handwritten on palm leaves.
The books were handwritten on palm leaves.
The Brial book, the Briar books.
You'd buy a book. What are you doing your life by giving your life.
Now books are cheap.
But now books are cheap.
$5. $10.
$5 $10.
Before one book your life.
Before one book your life.
So you see that?
We see that Shrinivasacharya and other personalities.
Had brought books from Vrindavan to Vrindavan.
From Vrindavan to Bengal.
And then there was solid and the thoughts. The king of Ru. He had a soldier who showed him that these Sadhguru are reading a priceless gift.
Because the king from Birgum he had an astrologer tell him that these people are bringing a priceless gem, priceless treasure.
And his system was anyone who traveled to his country. It's terrible.
And his system was anybody who traveled through his country he would steal from.
Them if they had something worth sealing.
If they had something worth sealing.
This astrologer who did that.
And therefore you have this astrologer who did that.
He told the thieves.
So he told the thieves to go and steal the box, the treasure and bring it back to.
Happen. The thieves see it. Everybody's never else.
It was so valuable that he didn't want the thieves to see it before bringing it to him.
Back to Navadi to call it.
They were taking the books back to Navadi.
So they are the original manuscripts.
So they were the original manuscripts.
And Saul was king with here are signs. Let's see the treasure. The treasure.
So the king was so anxious to see the treasure, the priceless treasure.
Was he not the chief A Saddam fell asleep.
So when he got there, it seemed very easy. The Sadis were all asleep. So they took their treasure. They didn't know what it was in.
There and brought the chest back to.
The king and brought the chest back to the king so when everyone left they opened up the treasure.
Now a Chaitanu gentleman was on the top he.
Was looking he couldn't understand it it was all like the Chaitanya Charitamritta on.
The top and he was ranks and taken a literary treasure from Sadhu so.
He was amazed and he was surprised at taking the literary treasure from Sadh.
Algorithm punishment so like this I think.
The Amadutas are now going to punish.
Me so to cover thieves we sign Ahuddis box so he told the thieves.
Go and please find who this box belongs to.
But as soon as Acharya he told the elders to look here Byzas I was asked by the deity rebel bring your books Anyways it's a.
Long story but Srinivasacharya he told that he was asked by the deities to.
Print the books so I'm responsible so I am responsible if someone will find out I'll tell you as soon as.
I find them I'll tell you what's.
Up in those days it was very hard to get your books Anyways in.
Those days it was very hard to.
Distribute books Hand copy them?
Yeah, they hand copy them and the.
Price was such a great effort and.
Then called me and the price it was such a big effort to have.
To pay for their whole life People.
Would pay for their whole lives.
And tapes rocks we learn the rocks we.
Teach them they learn the books and.
Teach them but now books are the races but they are all the books that the races of our whole ideology.
So now books are the basis, they are the base, the philosophic they are the whole ideology of.
Shirts recently now the possible rap to lose books so.
Since recently now it's possible to mass produce books.
To them to read India and he was Tahoe dining rock so.
I remember when Srila Prabhupada went to Japan and on his way to India he was talking to kind of.
Of course many books.
So at first he was printing the books in Japan in.
Different places When I joined there were.
No books When I joined there were.
No books Final university Macmillan Gita finally there was the Macmillan Gita provoke son had to read that 10 times the baronization Prabhupada said you had to read.
That 10 times before.
1, 2, 3, 4. That's how 3 marks so I still.
Have that Gita it has those marks 1, 2, 3, 4 and across across 1, 2, 3, 4 across.
So about Mosaic I saw Bible he wrote every.
Night so now books are available And I saw in my poet where Srila Prabhupada to translate he went through great effort.
You translate a picture phone you translate.
On a dictaphone and.
About transcriptions be sent to the BBT the transcriptions would be sent to the VBT he'd give up every night at 12 or 1 I'd be translated and he'd get up.
And every night at 12 or 1.
And be translated this.
He had the sinabago sound which I. Which I forget seven or eight tikras.
Acharyas had written some things on a particular verse and different previous Acharyas had.
Written something on a particular verse a.
Long sansa it was all in Sanskrit for a long year and then there was long personal realization. He write with purports previous Achires he writes the purports Sometimes we call the Sometimes he would call for me at two in the morning sir, somebody know where you are?
Shalpa his secretary knocked on my door and said Sril Baba wants to see you.
I washed her face feet wash my face.
He go all down.
I saw belt he had a mosquito net over him I thought she'll go.
But he'd have a mosquito net over.
Him and he'd be translated and he'd be translated. Then he said whatever you want to say, tell me.
Then he'd say whatever I wanted to say.
He'd tell me I was so pretty anytime you wanted me I dwell So.
I was 724 anytime he wanted me.
I'd go I don't see how he was translating the books.
I would see how he was translating the books.
So this great effort to translate all.
The books so he went through this great effort to translate all the books.
Why?
Why?
So you read them? So we would read the understand the Krishna conscious philosophy we would understand the.
Ka conscious philosophy.
So we'd all be great good fortune will be able to preserve books so we have the great.
Good fortune to be able to distribute.
These books read them and conserve them.
Read them and distribute them.
But he said that you don't want people the wrong is that he will be worship.
He said he didn't want people the wrote that people would ask what is in this book?
Well, I don't know, I just saw them.
Oh, I don't know, I just saw them.
He didn't want that.
He didn't want that.
You believe in the book, believe in the philosophy.
You believe in the book. You believe in the philosophy and you.
Distribute it between Delhi and Myanmar Every conviction between Delhi and Mayapur There's a big competition. I have a sixth and I was in Delhi, so I was sick in Delhi. I saw that secret. And then I saw that secret temple rather in October. He held every single devotee, every Namha, every Rakhivisha, every France.
So the temple president, he'd go to every devotee, every Namhata, every Bhakti Bhiksha.
Every French and ask what goal, how many books?
And he had asked what goal, how many books will you distribute in the marathon?
Some people, one old man, he would not distribute 5,000 bars.
One old man, he said, I'll distribute 5,000 barracudas.
He would stop, you don't burn a car in the sunlight. I don't believe I.
He would stop in front of the car, the stoplights and he said, and he would say, I won't leave unless you buy a book.
To sir, maybe.
I mean he was like 60 or 70 and he was distributing like that.
Everybody, I mean, hold on. Everybody had a quota.
Everybody had a quota.
And so I tell the my, this is a secret.
So I told my poor. This is a secret.
Everybody has to be surprised.
Everybody has every man, woman, child, woman, child opening.
We started. We had our. So we started 10 bus parties.
So we had like 10 bus parties in the beginning.
But that was very good. But we're not enough.
But that was very good. But that wasn't enough.
So we have the different cocktails, Pembrokes, four divisions.
So now we have like different book tables, different, different divisions Namhaja.
So that by that way I really don't know how we get fixed on.
So like in that way then everybody got out and the whole temple became fixed on bookish.
Where are we going break the record?
So on the Bhajra Panima, we wanted to break the record selling sets of Bhagwatam.
Every Punjab, every chance he had.
BJ Bhagavad Swami, he was very dedicated. Every function, every chance he had, he.
Would distribute, distribute sets of Bhagavad and.
Distribute sets of Srima Bhagavatam.
600 sets.
600 sets, 700 sets.
I lost. I remember I was street. So I would go through the online.
So I am not able to go on the street. So I'd also distribute online.
Lord Chaitanya, he was chant Hare Krishna.
So I'm thinking of Lord Chaitanya and he would chant Hare Krishna. And when devotees came down from Bengal.
Jagannath Puri, he did kirtan around the.
He did kirtan around the Jagannath Puri temple.
He had four parties and he had four parties. Each parties they have eight dogs, mothers.
And each party they had eight madongas, 32 cartels. And in each party they had a dance. The dancer was very important. So he'd dance. And because they didn't have the loudspeaker, they'd have five people chanting at once together.
The whole body responded and then the.
Whole crowd was responding.
Outside the sign chanting.
So we have Advaita ghost sign. Chanting, Dancing.
Avatar Aniruddha.
So there's Vakashur Upanit. He was avatar of Aniruddha.
He could feel 72 hours non stop.
He could chant 72 hours non stop.
I just have part of the parties. La Chitanya in the middle.
And like this they have four different parties and La Chitanya in the middle.
So that was the way they do kirtan to do the Hari Nao.
And that's how they would do kirtan. The Harinam.
Town halls was embrace them.
And anyone who would come close and Lord Chaitanya would embrace them.
After that.
Followers, the six Goswamis, Krishnas, Khabiraj.
And so they're brought back to Bengal.
And so when they were being brought back to Bengal, they were stolen.
He heard that in his son, the king. He liked to hear Radha class.
So Shrinivasacharya. He heard that the king he liked to hear Bhagavasham class.
To the king's palace.
So he went to the king's palace. You heard the Bhagavatam class? Oh.
It was ready. With art there's a lot better making faces and stuff.
The king went to someone else's Bhagavatam class and he saw the person was making very bad faces.
They don't like the class.
You didn't like the class.
Is it glass? No class or what?
It's not bona fides. Okay, you give another class.
You come here.
You come, come here. You get clots.
If not better, we'll kill you.
If it's not better, we'll kill you.
So I press your thoughts. You would pass. Everybody would swept on their feet.
Everybody swept under their feet.
He personally trained by Sri Jiva Goswami.
He was personally trained by Sujiva Goswami.
He could really give a class.
You could really give a class.
That's why he got the name Acharya.
That's how he got the name Acharya.
Well, he was the ultimate boss. The king realized this may be the present that loves the books.
So he was able to get the cross. And the king thought that this person may be the person that owns the books.
So he brought them back privately.
Privately?
Yes. Who are you? What's your purpose?
So he asked him, who are you? What's your purpose?
He explained how he brought the books from the goblin.
Can he explain how he brought the.
Books from the goblin? The king fell down on his feet, crying, where do you leave? I took my book.
So the king fell down at his feet. He prayed, please forgive me.
I took your looks. Oh, you see that? We saw the same case for the rocks service.
So then Srima said, let me see them.
He saw the same case, the open book. You open the book, the case, saw the chain.
All the books of the book.
They're all that.
They're all there.
He was so relieved.
He was so relieved.
King asked him, please take me as your disciple.
The king asked him, please take me as your disciple.
Rajguru, you have to be a grihasa.
So to be a Raj Guru, you have to be a grihasa.
Because you have the real the life of Jesus.
Because you have to. You have to guide the king how to do governor and so on.
The street.
And asked him if he should be the Raju for this. King Marahari told them, do it.
Make the whole kingdom Krishna conscious.
Then you can make the whole kingdom. He'll make the whole kingdom Krishna conscious. Anyways, I'm telling you a little about. So he got the books back. He got them copied and started distributing them. 70 million.
So how fortunate people are.
How fortunate people are to get these books. Like I had said before, the price before was your life.
I give my Dr. Dallas.
So. But we are giving the books out and people can read them like I was giving. I gave the doctor in Dallas, Bhagavad Gita as it is.
Dr. Hopkins Santa. But in the book, I understand that I always pray to God. You need to do that.
So then she, the Dr. Hopkins was saying that I always prayed. Now I understand because previously I'd always prayed to God, what can I get from him?
I love it. Hearing the voice of the quote you set back now, I was telling her, reading the book, she said, I'm God. What are you doing right now?
So now, after reading the book, she said, we should ask God what can we do for him.
Actually, because we're asking him what we can do right now.
We're always asking God, give me this, give me that. But actually, we should ask God, what. What can you do for him?
That's a person to screw.
That's the person just knew who got a book. So she asked how to pronounce the name of the person that the Gita was spoken to.
So R. Yoga. R. R the month.
So someone told her, you can put. You can say R and then the month. Pronounce the month.
Understand.
So much people. Understand so much. People don't know anything about the supreme personality of God.
Here to understand.
Here they get the opportunity to understand.
That's a supreme personality of a person.
That the supreme personality of Godhead is a person.
That our purpose is to serve him.
And that our purpose is to serve him.
The stream of the was I preserve.
The Charyats Shiva Palpati took great effort to see that the message was preserved. So Shiv Rabba he translated into English and others have translated into other languages.
Inspiring everybody.
So I'm very thankful to Vaisha Shaita Guru for inspiring everybody to distribute so in Silicon Valley. There he engages so many distributors to help us books.
Everybody aligned. Sometimes he has the.
So online also sometimes he invites me and I come to him to have his association.
Thanks so much.
So thank you so much and enthusiasing us to distribute your Goddess books. So just want to say that Shubhaba went through a great effort to translate these books.
I read his books many times.
I've read his books many times. Wanted to give me an honorary degree.
I said no, take the test.
So I said no, I'll take the test.
I took my test because I've been lucky very well.
And I took my test and got.
My bachelor by the test. I hope that everybody.
Should know that both gets their degrees and distributes them. Hare Krishna.
