The following is a question and answer session given by His Holiness Jaya Patanka Swami Maharaj on November 13, 2023 in Sri Ramayapur, India.

Maharaj, we hear that in Srimanta Dweepa Mother Parvati is chanting the names of Gorangar. But when we are there in Bangalore wanting to preach to youths, we see that Parvati Devi does not allow the boys to become Ka consciousness. And sometimes when we also want to practice, lot of difficulties we face from Maya Devi. So how do we understand this?

Maharaj, in Simanta Dvip we see Parvati Devi chanting the names of Lord Gauranga. But in Bangalore, when we try to preach same Parvati Devi as Maya restricts them from practicing. And sometimes we also face difficulty because of Maya Devi. How do we understand it?

Say my Devi Gyudan song is all service. I loved her son.

See, Maya Devi has been given a very difficult service by Lord Krishna.

She's foster guilt, maternal happiness, maternal experiences so that they want to stay in the maternal world.

She has to give material experiences by which the conditioned souls have to stay in the material world and go and don't go back home back toward it.

So that's very. That's her service.

So basically that's her service.

And she's a very good servant.

And she's a very good servant.

We have to be quite powered, silent. One stands for declaring a war. He has Maya.

So we have to be as Srila Prabhupada said, in one sense we have to be declaring war against Mayank.

My father said, I heard from a son that I was. He said he would send me to the army die in Vietnam.

My father said when he heard for the first time that I'm going to be a devotee, he said he sent me to the army to die in the Vietnam war.

So that I asked father, what should I do?

Then I asked Prabhupada what should I do? Prabhupada said, better you join Krishna's army.

So I've been in Krishna's army ever since.

I have been in Krishna's army ever since.

Maya Devi is doing her job.

So we have a choice. We are preaching and Maya Devi has her job.

They come completely fixed and cursed the consciousness.

So we want to become fixed completely.

In Ka consciousness when Maya offers something.

He said, when Maya offers something, we Say no.

Actually Bhagavi is like the sister of Aisha.

Actually Maya Devi is like a sister of Vishnu.

Sister, my baby away Lord Shiva.

So in this place of Madurai they see as Vishnu giving away his sister in marriage to Lord Shiva.

Yeah.

The Minanshi temple.

So.

I went to one Kali temple near to Lord Nithyananda's birthplace.

Vow to the right side, the left side.

All perfection for the devas we both were prostrate to the right side. And for Krishna we prostrate to the left side.

So I was on to Kali to my right side.

So for Kali we bow down to the right side.

And I felt very much at home. Very much. I have a bridge, right? Kali.

I felt very much at home when I was there at the Kali temple.

All the other worshipers actually they wanted some material things.

But all the other worshippers of Kali they wanted material things.

Island, one sky, another South Asia.

So I did not want her to stay in that association.

Sometimes like in the jungle of Star Road.

Sometimes in the temple south of Mahabalipuram. Sometimes in the temple in the south at Mahabalipuram. There the temple is considered a Divya Deshaun.

And they offer the aartis to Lord.

Vishnu and they offer aarti to Lord Vishnu.

And then after that they offer Kasava, Aarti, Sriva, Jarva Achara and then they.

Offer the prasadam Aarti to Lord shiva, guruga and etc.

Sometimes normally people worship the devas and they ask for so much.

So normally people worship the devas and they ask some material benefits. They may ask for a nice house, nice car.

So we don't want that we want.

Bhakti but we don't want that we want bhakti.

What we really want is bhakti Nak.

We may have a house or we may have a car. But what we really want is bhakti to Krishna.

Actually some very things are very infinitive.

Actually these temporary things are very insignificant.

And after a while we're in the packs.

They are very temporary in their appearance.

I saw all the disappear.

After a while they are going to disappear.

What is the one child across your shoulder?

So the devotees they want to have Krishna's shelter. Next question.

We need to end because of time limit.

Time limit.

Time limit.

Okay, one last question.

One more question.

Thanks Hari. Please accept my respectful. We know that you are eternal servant of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. But at the same time I wanted to ask that whenever we see you, we will be always chanting and we are Very much Like always Krishna conscious. Always chanting Hare Krishna Mantra Whenever events must time is there. So I wanted to ask that how have you developed so much taste for chanting Hare Krishna Mantra?

Practice makes perfect.

Practice makes perfect.

I listen. Chant the chant. Sorry. I used to chant other people. I thought that I'd disturb.

I used to chant and other people also used to chant. But I used to see that they are disturbing.

Like a chance. I can't think of anything else. I'm chanting.

But when I'm chanting, I'm chanting. I can't think of anything else but chanting.

I saw NASA chanting. I'm also faithful.

Sorry. Someone else is chanting and also hearing their chant. Someone else is chanting. I'm also hearing they're chanting.

Right hand. I have a str. My right hand naturally functional.

I had a stroke because of which my right hand is not fully functional. So I chant with my left hand. Anyway, chanting the Holy name is not different from Krishna. So we should always chant. That ensures that we are always with Krishna.
