Go Bhakti Following Radha Dashu. No, no, I need to. The fruit of devotional service to Gora is the service to Sri Radha Yata Gora Vinde Vinde Punja Punjo Shukriti Shampana Purush Shigur. Just as a person endowed with abundant and abundant of piety obtains devotional service to the lotus feet of of Lord Gora in a certain manner. In that very same manner a similar type of the ocean of nectar from the lotus feet of Sri Radha suddenly arises in the heart. In the same way also.

So advantage the original service.

Verse number 89 Excellence of the shelter of the lotus feet of Gorasya Premodjamritanider Brahme Pruning the lotus weed of Lord Chaitanya is worshipped even by Shiva and Brahma is the reservoir of the Shola's bacterian ocean of secret mellow of conjugal love. Therefore in this age of Kali, the pious, the person who accepts the essence being filled with love continuously meditating on that feet of Lord Caitanya takes shelter of that very feet. And in this way very age of Kali, being happily intoxicated with love sing the glories of the same lotus feet.

That reminds me that place all those footprints around Vrindavan.

So that reminds me of that we are going to place the lotus footprints of Lord Chaitanya around Vrindavan. And those who wants to participate in the Vrindavan Parikrama they can be part.

The preaching method of Tridandi Goswami Prabhodananda Saraswati. Abandoning all religion and being attached to the feet of Lord Kaura is the only duty. O saintly persons. I, Tridandi Bhikshu, holding a straw in my teeth and. And falling at your two feet with humble solicitation. Solicitation. I'm just saying. Seeking alms that all of you reject from far distance. Give up considering them as bad association. All of that. All your imagined virtues of religion. And be affectionately attached to the lotus feet of Shri Goranga. Lotus feet of Sri Chaitanya. Sorry, Guru Maharaj. Okay, this is a quote from Srila Prabhupada's lecture. I've taken straw in my mouth and I'm now and I am falling down at your lotus feet. And I am flattering you in hundreds and thousands way. Why? Why you are so humble? What is the intention? I want to say something. Please hear. All right, say it. What is that? Hey Sadhava. Oh. You are very learned man. And you are very honest man. For the time being so long I shall speak whatever you have learned. Please set aside. Please set aside. Sakala Meva, Vihaya Dura Chaitanya Chandracharana Kurutanuragam. Kindly hear for some time about the topics which Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has presented before you. We are servant of Lord Chaitanya. We are servant of Lord Chaitanya. So in the disciplic succession we are trying to present the Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's topic is Jareteki Tareka ho Krishna Upadesh. So whomever you meet, please try to convince him about Krishna Consciousness. So in order to preach Ka Consciousness that Parabodananda Saraswati, he says that I've taken straw in my mouth and I'm falling down at your feet.

And.

And I am flattering you in so many ways. Kindly. For time being you forget whatever you have learned. Please try to hear about Krishna Consciousness. This should be the preaching method. Because you cannot enforce. You cannot enforce the atheistic party. The godless civilization is so strong. So you are not weak. You are protected by the supreme. But our mission is not to fight, but our mission is to convince. So this is the method to be accepted by devotees, those who are in Ka Consciousness to preach the philosophy of the world. Thank you. Thank you very much. Lecture on Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita Madhya Leela 25.63640 January 23, 1967 San Francisco. So that there's one more quote from Srila Prabhupada. So that Prabhudananda Saraswati is teaching us how to preach. In this age, simply by fighting argument, it is very difficult to preach. Better to become humble and meek. Just like Prabhudananda Saraswati is teaching us. Dante ni Dayatra Nakam. In India there is a system to become humble. If you take one blade of grass between your lips and approach somebody, it is to be understood that you are approaching with great humbleness. Therefore he said Dante ni Daya Trinakam. Trinakam means blade of cross. Danti means teeth. Pada Yodni Patya and falling down on your feet. Kakushatam Kritva and flattering you hundreds hundred times. My dear sir, you are so great. You are so big, you are so learned. You are so rich. You are so beautiful and everything. Although he may be not so. Dante Trinayanidakam Trina kam pada yor nipatya Kaaku Shatam Kritvacha. Shatam means. Shatam Shatam means hundreds times flattering. I've come to you to say something. Why are you so humble? What do you want to talk? Hey Sadhava, you are a really. You are very religious man. You are very upright man, Sadhava. Very honest men, saintly men. Yes, but I request you that whatever you learned, you have learned. Please forget that is my request. You just try to submit yourself on the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya. By his mercy you will find that. Lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam 15 point to 8 to 9. May 24, 196069 New Vrindavan. One more quote. Preaching Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has advised us. This is preaching. Whomever you meet, simply speak the instruction of Krishna. So if you are at once, if you know what is the instruction of Krishna, by reading Bhagavad Gita you can preach to others. And if you have not read anything, suppose you do not know anything, then you can also preach. What is that? Just become a devotee of Krishna, my dear sir. That's all. This is also preaching. Just surrender to Krishna. You go door to door. If you cannot do anything, simply say My dear sir, you are a good man. Oh, you are very intelligent man. Chant Hare Krishna. This preaching was taught by Prabhodananda Saraswati Dante. This is the preaching process, the Vedic civilization. If one wants to become very humble and approach another person then he has to take one straw in the mouth. So the preaching process is to take the straw in the mouth and falling down on your feet and flattering you sir, you are so great man. You are so intelligent man. This is flattering. Although he is fool number one. We have flatter like that. Oh, there is no greater man like you. You are so intelligent, you are so rich, you are so beautiful. So so all these things just like the beggars. Sometimes you become king and one thinks oh he's blessing me. All right, take one paisa. So this flattering is also required. Kaku shatam kritva Chaham bravi. So the man may ask that why are you so humble and flattering? What is your intention? Tell me. So now he's telling. Hey Sadhava. Oh you are great Sadhu. Hey Sadhava. Sakala me Bhavihaya Dura. You have learned so many nice things. I know that but kick them out please. Sakala meva. Whatever you have, whatever you have. Nonsense Learned rascal them you have learned. Sorry learned. Please kick them out. This is my request. Sakala meva Viha Yadura Chaitanya Charane Kurutanuragam Just here. What Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu says, this is my request. This is preaching. This preaching Flatter fall down on his fate and eulogize him as a great sadhu. As a great in as great intelligence, great rich. Do not do so that he may little hear. And when he says what do you want? No, I want this sir. Whatever rascal them you have learned, please forget. Because I know you are rascal number one. Laughter. And you have got so many hotchpodge thing in your brain. So you kick them out please. Sakalam eva vihaya dora. Kick them, throw away long distance. Don't look upon them. Then what to do? Chaitanya Chandrachara Ne kuru Tanhura come please hear what Sri Chaitanya Chandra says. Chaitanya Chandradaya. Just try to understand the mercy of Sri Chaitanya. Just try to understand the mercy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and you'll feel so sublime. Don't take it blindly. But if you are intelligent, just make a Judgment what Sri Chaitanya Chandra is Tell him so this is preaching. Okay? Commentary by Srila Bhakti said Dante, Dante ni Daya Trinakam by holding a very small grass between the teeth. For this the preacher of Kirtan Prabhodananda Saraswati Tridandi Goswami's quality of Trinatha Pisuni chena lower than the grass is indicated because he is holding in his teeth the smallest of grass, of the grass among the grasses that people trample under their feet and go away. So he's showing the highest respect to it too. By the way, falling at the two feet. This. By this the preacher of Gorakatha Prabodananda Saraswati Tridanda Goswami's nature of Amani without being puffed up by false pride is indicated. Like the Brahma sannyasis being intoxicated by false ego, he does not consider himself Narayana or like the judgment of the dual dull material sorry of the dull materialistic Smarta Brahmana priests engaged in ritualistic ceremonies is not deprived of the living entity's spiritual nature and is not bound to the gross and subtle bodily materialistic consideration of Brahmana or Chandala or the higher or inferior and so on. Therefore, becoming Amani without being puffed up by false pride towards everyone is going to speak the truth. Kritva cha kakushatam with hundreds of humble appeal. By this the preacher of Kirtana Prabhudananda Saraswati Tridandi Goswami's quality of Taro Riva sahishnuna, tolerant than a tree, is indicated. Persons influenced by the external energy will not at all hear the truth. But Tridandi Goswamis by their humble appeal are enthusiast, enthusiastic to make them to hear the topics of Krishna. Hey Sadhava. O saintly persons. By this the preacher of Kirtan Prabhudananda Saraswati Tridandi Goswami's nature of Manada giving everyone respect is indicated. Giving up everything from far distant, you are truly a sadhu saint. But whatever things with which you pride within you as a sadhu or you introduce to the people of the world as a sadhu, give up all those far from distance, such as Karma, Jnana Shankya, Yoga philosophy, Falgu Vairakya and four goals, religiosity, economic development, sense gratification and liberation, practice of Dharma that leads to Adharma and religion and irreligion and all forms of true and false unfavorable endeavors.

The mercy of Lord Gora in the form of relishing the nectar of love is very rare even in Vaikuntha Muktir na Cha Bhakti, Sudhurlabha, Brah Mishra, Budhi Bhukti, Shaddha Shalakkadi Maharaj Mukti. The liberation of Brahma Sayuja of merging into the supreme Brahman obtained by dry empiric knowledge of four types of liberation headed by Shalokya that is achieved by Jnana Mishra, Vaidi Bhakti. The regulative devotional service mixed with empiric knowledge is not very rare. The service of Narayana and Vaikuntha is gained by Vaidi bhakti. The practice of regulative Devotional service is also not very rare. But the mercy of Gora is rare even in Vaikuntha. Because even those associates of Narayana are praying for the mercy of Gora.
