Jaya Pataka Swami teaches Chapter 5 of Sri Chaitanya Chandramrutam, arguing that devotion to Lord Chaitanya, not ritual practice or impersonal realization, leads to Krishna-prema. He reads verses 31-32 with commentary from Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur and shares a story of someone who left Ashtanga yoga for bhakti practice in Mayapur.
Krishna Krishna.
Hare Krishna Dear devotee, on the occasion of Srila Prabhupada's disappearance day we'll continue with the commentation on Sri Chaitanya Chandramrutam Continuing on the subject matter of Sri Chaitanya Bhakta Ninda Criticism okay, sorry Guru Maharaj Criticism Criticism of non devotees of Lord chaitanya verse number 31 with our devotion to Shri Caitanya even unalloyed devotee of Sri Hari is unfortunate Translation, let anyone have innumerable great piety and be exclusively surrender to Hari but if he does not worship R. Caitanya Chandra then my intelligence considers him to be unfortunate unfit to obtain the supreme goal of life. Commentary by Srila Chaitan Sri Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada Anupa Sita Chaitanyam A person who has not worshipped Chaita Sri Chaitanya unfortunate Dhana is Prema the fifth goal of life and one who is qualified for this wealth is fortunate and who is not fortunate is not qualified for this wealth because without worshipping Lord Chaitanya no one is qualified to obtain the wealth of Prema.
This is an interesting point.
So this is an interesting point that.
Shaman allied devotee we have a lot.
Of piety so some may be an unalloyed devotee and he can have a lot of piety but if they not.
Have mercy of Lord Caitanya but if.
They not have the mercy of Lord Caitanya then the Lord arms of them Then it's very hard for them to achieve Prema.
Krishna Prema very easily.
So Lord Chaitanya gave out Krishna Prema very easily Therefore.
Really fortunate.
Therefore we are really fortunate.

Have the mercy of Lord Chaitanya.
Yeah. We have the experience of someone who.
Has all so here we have the experience Someone he has all the good qualities no association but he has no association or knowledge of Lord Chaitanya Therefore he is not considered fortunate.
Krishna Prema.
Loving devotion to Lord Caitanya assures us to reach Krishna Prema to obtain Krishna Prema very easily.
That'S why it's very important Devotees have devotion for Lord Chaitanya.
Therefore it's very important for the devotees to have devotion to Lord chaitanya. Verse number 32 Geni kormi taposhi juggi Gonar Britharput Dhikkar Condemnation of the fruitless endeavor of Gyanis, Karmis and Yogis Kriya Shaktan DG Digestu Brahma Kime File unto those to the smartest attached to the ritualistic ceremonies of compulsory nitya and occasional naimatika activities. Condemnations to the severe executioners of austerities five Unto the practitioners of Ashtanga Yoga. Condemnations also to the Ahang Ahangra Opasakas who worships himself with the idea of becoming God, who proudly consider themselves as liberated merely by reciting verses such as Aham Brahmasmi, I am Brahman and so their faces are greatly expanded. All these people are maddened by the enjoyment of sense pleasure without the relationship of the Lord. What shall I lament for these animals in the form of humans? Alas, alas. None of them have not obtained even a drop of honey from the lotus feet of Lord Gora. Commentary by Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Vikatha Tapas those who perform very difficult austerities by tolerating the hot sun in the summer, always tolerating showers of rain in the rainy season by submerging within cold water in the winter season by not cutting their nails, hair, mustache, beard and staying with bent head and upraised arms without eating and sleeping. Those who attempt to subdue the mind and senses by the practice of Ashtanga Yoga which comprises the eight different practices, namely Yama, Niyama and so on. Those who are devoid of intelligence to search for the ultimate benefit but are busy searching for illusory and temporary drop of happiness. Vishaya Rasamatan those without the relationship with the Lord. Those who are proud of of the intoxication of enjoyment of sense pleasure. The Falgut Yagi who thinks himself to be liberated, searching after the undifferentiated Brahman because of the indifference, rejection and turning away from the Lord, they are maddened in their abominable objects of sense gratification. Those desiring material enjoyment and attached to material activity and busy to enjoy the fruits in this world and the next. Those who are animals in the form of humans. Those who are without the relation the relationship to Gora Lord Gora and thus simply enjoy and recreate etc like animals a large eternal so by taking shelter of Lord Caitanya.
Lost our human ones.
And thus awakening one's dormant love for.
Krishna, one actually transcends everything and very easily achieved.
One can transcend everything and can very easily achieve love of Krishna. So instead people are trying to serve the sensors and.
They'Re attached to the.
Material manager and they are attached to the material bondage. So in this way people are being bewildered. If they take the shelter of Lord Chaitanya, everything becomes Very easy for them. As far as they don't know Lord Chaitanya. They may be interested in enjoying the senses.
So that's why.
Therefore one should take the shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya. Mercy of the Lord in order to achieve the mercy of the Lord. Hare Krishna Very quickly.

Sometimes we see here in the Gaudiya Math they don't cut their hair, nail, moustache and beard like this. So like this they consider they are very austere.
Even they do these things.
Even if they do these things and if they are not connected to Lord Caitanya.
