Hare Krishna Devotees Today we will continue with the commentation on Sri Chaitanya Chandramitam of Srila Prabhodananda Saraswatipat continuing with chapter 8 chapter entitled Lok Siksha Instructions to people the non devotees of R. Caitanya Mahaprabhu simply wander about in the ocean of birth and death.

Shuk Dukadi Karmo FAL Bhogi Kurita Thake.

Translation by his divine grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada this material world is without Krishna consciousness. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is Krishna consciousness personified. Therefore, if a learned scholar or scientist does not understand R. Catanya Mahaprabhu Therefore, if a learned scholar or a scientist does not understand Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, certainly he is wandering uselessly in this world. Translation by Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur this is the translation of his Bengali translation. If this material world without devotional service to Lord Krishna does not worship Lord Krishna Chaitanya who is the controller of everything and who is worshipped even by the best of the demigods hated by Shiva and Brahma, then they gain only death, death in all ways they are subject to birth and death continue to enjoy the fruits of happiness and sorrow.

If one doesn't understand devotional service, if.

One doesn't understand devotional service from Lord.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, certainly they have to again rotate in the material ocean of earth and death.

Certainly they have to again and again rotate in the cycle of material ocean. Material material birth and death.

The world of birth and death is there for everyone.

That's right. He brought the ecstasy of Krishna consciousness.

Therefore he brought the ecstasy of Krishna consciousness to everyone. Those people who usually worship the devas like Shiva or Brahma.

They don't know a lot worshipping a lot of see the Lord Chaitanya.

But if they don't know about worshiping the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya that's.

Why they have to die and take birth again.

Therefore they have to die and take birth again.

Material world gives us the opportunity to try to be.

The material world gives us the opportunity to try to be happy.

No matter how much trial, always suffering.

No matter how much you try, there's always suffering.

Or sorrow.

Therefore Lord Chaitanya has come deliver people from suffering.

Satania has descended from the spiritual world.

Lord Chaitanya has descended from the spiritual world.

Just to give us conditioned souls a chance.

Just to give us the conditioned souls a chance to go back home, back to Godhead. So he should take advantage of Lord Chaitan now. So you should take advantage of the mercy of Lord Gauranga. If we don't, then again and again we have to come back to this material world. Verse number 96. Even a person who has little devotion to Lord Chaitanya Chandra is capable of enslaving the demigods headed by Indra. Even Lord Indra the king of the demigods. Even Indra the king of demigods appears to be like a appears to be like a servant in front of the person who has hope in the two lotus feet of Shri Caitanya Mahprabhu. Then what to speak of other kings who are like insignificant insects.

So after doing many pious works.

Elevated to the position of Indra.

Someone is elevated to the position of.

Indra, the king of the heavenly planets.

The king of the heavenly planets.

But it not to be compared with the Rodi or Chaitanya Maharu.

But he is not to be compared with the devotee of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Lord Indra is like an insect compared to the Lord Chai Dhanya.

In fact Lord Indra is like an insect compared to the devotees of Lord.

Chaitanya Wants to take the shelter of Lord Chaitanya, Chant and dance and ecstasy.

So one should take shelter of Lord Chaitanya and chant and dance in ecstasy. Verse number 97. Great personalities who have the touchstone of Gaura Bhajan are free of anxiety about their maintenance and protection. A mandican who leaves by begging and has the desire to obtain the wealth of the lotus feet of Sri Krishna Chaitanya. What purpose he has to fulfill at the doorstep of a king who is such a fool who goes to a distant land for the sake of silver Even after gaining a touchstone.

By the mercy of Lord Chaitanya.

So by the mercy of Lord Chaitanya's lotus feet.

A touchstone of terms. Everything we go as fully transcendental.

So one gains a touchstone which turns everything into gold which is fully transcendental.

So what is the use of such a holy or many.

So what is the use of such devotee?

A mendicant to the north, south of or I think to Back at the.

Doorstep of a king.

Things of the material world.

Even the king can only give the things of the material world also. But Lord Chaitanya's lotus feet is like a touchstone which is where which is valuable in the material world as well as the spiritual world.

So.

So one who has gotten the mercy of Lord Chaitanya has no use to back from a king.

That's something that's more valuable.

There is something which is much more valuable. Nothing to pack. Verse number 98. There is no person maddened by ecstatic love in the world except Gora Bhakta.

Ashtanga, joke of Bhas Brayan, Unimadi, Siddhi Labdho, Bahu Purush Bhartamanasan, Aro Bahubekti, Pakrita, Biddha Bol, Dhanadi Ashotto.

There are many Hare Krishna. There are many meditative Gyan yogis present in the caves, the mountains who are searching after oneness with the Supreme Brahman and have attained Brahman realization. There are also many persons present on the earthly planet who are engaged in the eight fold mystic yogic process and have obtained a mystic perfection headed by Anima. There are also many persons present who. Who are engaged in useless talks, maddened by false objects of education, strength, wealth and so on. But without the mercy of Lord Gora. Who else in the. Who else in the world today is dancing maddened by loving ecstasy?

Ecstasy mentions the yoga perfections.

So this verse mentions the yogic perfections. Yoga perfections. Sorry.

Some people in the caves meditating to realize the oneness.

So some people. So some people in the caves meditating to realize the oneness with the absolute truth.

Some are meditating on the earth, hearing the ape, the Sith Horus.

And some. Some people are meditating on the earth to get the eight mystic powers, Lagima, Prapti and so on.

And not people that are wandering around the universe holding to enjoy wealth.

Most people are roaming around the world hoping to enjoy wealth and.

Material education.

And various material opulences.

Where would you find someone in this world?

Where would you find someone in this world?

Like Lord Chaitanya, always dancing and exercise.

Or love dancing in ecstasy of love.

Well, you'll find someone completely absorbed.

Where you will find someone completely absorbed in love of Krishna.

So take shelter of Lord Chaitanya.

So that's why one should take shelter of Lord chaitanya. Verse number 99. The devotees of Lord Gora are without the insignificant desire to recite in Kashi, to perform Shat in Gaya and so on.

Brahma, Shibadi, devata ganero prabhu Shei bashi jodi mukti Amar Nikoru.

Translation Translation if the Lord of even the demigods such as Brahma and Shiva that Sri Gaura Sundara shows mercy, then I do not regret even for the residence of Kashi. Then for what reason I will search for Gaya Dhamma? If liberation appears to be sorry. If liberation appears to me to be like a small shallow cockle, then what to speak of other three goals of life? Religiosity, economic development and sense gratification. And if there is no even there is no fear even in the Mahara hell, then where and then where is the fear in relation to the wife and children?

I was talking as he was wild Rob and he mentioned in the Dharma Artha Karma moksha most people are interested in the Art Karma.

Somebody was talking to Srila Prabhupada and he was mentioning how in Dharma Arthakama Moksha how most people are interested in Kama.

I want the world and my sons.

Liberation.

And we see here liberation seems to be very insignificant. Seem very insignificant. What to speak about the other what to speak about the other three goals? Dharma Takama.

Money and.

Religiosity. Money and sense gratification they are tucha very insignificant.

One is not Hare Krishna. You don't know if there are no hellish situation.

Like when it's not chanting Hare Krishna even within hellish situation like Mahara hell, no theater of one is chanting even hellish situation. If one is chanting Hare Krishna even in heli situation like Maha Ravarava, he has no fear because he has the mercy of Lord Chaitanya. One is a grihasta and having wife.

Children, morally maybe some doubts that I.

So normally there will be some doubt of getting some sin. But the one who's doing rehearsal life for Lord Chaitanya, then he has no fear.
