This is a transcript of a November 4, 2023 YouTube class by Jaya Pataka Swami (with contributions by Guru Mahesh and others) on the Chaitanya Chandramritam. The speaker reads and comments on verse 5 (translation by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada), explaining that a devotee elevated by Lord Chaitanya views impersonal Brahman and material/mystic attainments as valueless compared to devotional service and experiences bliss in the material world by Krishna’s grace. The session also includes community announcements listing many devotees and book-distribution contributions, and a campaign target (monthly 100,000 small books and 10,000 large books). The class closes with invitations to the next session (verses 6–7).

It's all because Krishna is all good. We'll do the next verse. Verse number 5. Shampati Shali Nicota Ba Lobdo Kal Sharpuru Indriya Shakal Krishna Shabanondama Translation by His Divine grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada When a devotee has achieved the position of rendering transcendental loving service to the Lord through the mercy of Lord Caitanya he thinks the impersonal Brahman to be no better than hell. Then he ends and he regards material happiness in the heavenly planets to be like a will or the wisp. As far as the perfection of mystic powers is concerned, a devotee compares it to a venomous snake with no teeth. Although the material world is blazing fire, to a devotee it appears full of pleasure. And he has nothing to and he has nothing for which to hanker. Brahma, Indra and others are considered just like ordinary worm germs and ordinary flies. I offer my respects to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who has given me this eyes to see. Translation by Srila Prabhupada.
I didn't such.
I wasn't so by worshipping Lord Chaitanya he gives such a vision. So how Saiujamukti is considered like the will of the wisps. So how Demigods like Indra Brahma, their achievements are like insects. They are not attracted to these mystic powers.
So by the mercy of the Lord Chaitanya that they can't completely oblivious to.
These by the mercy of Lord Chaitanya Dev, they become completely oblivious to this.
This is achieve that.
So this is a very great achievement. Normally one is thinking how to achieve this. But the devotees, they achieve automatically. Such is the greatness of Lord Chaitanya. So we should simply try to achieve the lotus feet of Lord Chaitanya. Okay. Thus ends the commentary for verses 4 and 5 of the Chaitanya Chandramritam by His Holiness Shlajayapataka Swami Shlakuru Maharaj. So we'll continue with verse 6 and 7 in the next upcoming class. 9 o'.
