The following is a class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on December 16, 2023 in Sri Ramayapur, India. The class begins with a reading from the Srimad Bhagavatam third Canto, chapter two verse.

What would Lord Krishna say?

Vidura is asking Udava, what does Lord Krishna say?

Vidara.

As soon as you asked about Krishna, he will march around, stretch all remembrance.

So Uttava, as soon as he was asked about Krishna, he was merged in spiritual remembrance.

So there is a beautiful purport here and that it is mentioned here that in spiritual life there is no retirement and that actually the mood of service increases as one gets older.

I called back he arrived in Tura's day. I mean he was several years old.

Auba arrived in the USA when he was 70 years old. In material life, that's the age when people retire.

At that age he's the love of the whole world.

But Prabhupada in that age he delivered the whole world. When Prabhupada was present, there weren't so many devotees. People in the temple.

Had mentioned about this. He had pointed it out that this is simply a matter of time. That the time is separating.

So how much we should be grateful to Srila Prabhupada for giving us this mercy.

Early last night Paul Marci Jr. Came in with his sliding and personal words.

We were reading last night how when Lord Chaitanya came down to this earth with this smiling and merciful glance.

How.

Lord Chaitanya's special mood is mercy.

From Balaram. He will always assure Krishna in this particular mood.

Balaram, he will always serve Krishna in this particular mood. So is the Krishna leader in the 10th canva which says the brother of Rupee challenged Balara to a wrestling match to a gambling.

So first two throws.

So first through two throws.

Then 100,000 gold coins were given from the side of all of.

Then Rukma Although he lost, he was saying no, no, I won, I won. Then Rukma when the wager was a crore of gold coins 10 million. You could use that for the toe. Voice from the air said Balaram one.

Do evasion.

Then.

But then Rukhma didn't pay attention to them. So Rupa didn't pay attention to that.

About Tahuntini. And then he insulted Lord Balaram in Many ways. And then he said that Balaram is not a warrior class, he is a business class. He's a coward.

Then Balaram took his club and beat it over the head of one king Was laughing at Balaram earlier you're showing his feet. And when Balaram caught up with him and smashed out all his feet, Krishna didn't show this happiness because that must be appreciated by Rukmini. And he didn't show sadness because that wouldn't be appreciated by Palaramini.

Krishna.

That was Krishna.

When he had met with Jagaya and Maday at that time Maday had hit him over the head with a wild goblet.

Causing him to.

Please.

In Krishna they just spoke against him.

And in Golila Nitai was caused to bleed.

From Nitai.

And Nitai said, just because you caused me to bleed that does not mean that I do not give you love of God.

We are very fortunate. We are a theory for born when Lord St. Johnny's Palestine are still going on by farewell mercy.

We are very fortunate that we are born when Lord Chaitanya's pastime are still going on by Srila Prabhupada's mercy.

He is so merciful. So Bhagav he, whatever the mood is of Ka, he takes that board from Amal.

So Lord Caitanya, whatever this is mood, Lord Balaram, he takes up that mood and he amplifies it.

So in this way we see that there is a tradition where Lord Nithaya's mercy is especially mentioned. And especially there are songs and there are culture that Nitaya is especially known to be merciful.

Usually people get the mercy of Krishna when they do Yajna, tapa and various kinds of austerities.

In this connection, Srila Prabhupada spoke at the Adapunma Mela and he mentioned that those who have come to Krishna Bhakti Yoga or devotional service they have actually crossed over all of these different yajnas and tapasyas etc. One elderly, a senior devotee, he raised a question during the question answer period and he said that I look at my life and I see that I haven't done anything good. I haven't done any pious activity in my life. How did I receive a devotional service?

I made you good friendship for you.

Prabhupada's answer I made your good fortune for you.

This was the special pastime of Lord Chaitanya Mahap.

Hours ago.

He would take the sinful people. He would take the homeless people and give them Love of Krishna.

You all.

The verse we were reading last night spoke about all the different activities. Yajna dana tapa. Without any sign of these previously you surrender and then you get the mercy first he gives you love of God and then you surrender.

It's like you get the good first, pay later.

It's like you get the goods first, pay later. Srila Prabhupada is a special distributor to.

Our agent Srila Prabhupada. Chilam has done vicious bitter organ.

And he was giving us Krishna Chaitanya rivers.

And he was giving us Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's mercy.

Chanting austerity, regular principles.

Even people who have not done. Who have not been doing yoga, meditation, chanting austerity, renunciation, regulative principles, study of the Vedic scriptures, good behavior, nothing.

Dan.

They were given the mercy of Lord Chaitanya.

Go.

In this way. Shila Prabhupada. He distributed the mercy.

Here.

Here in the purport. Srila Prabhupada mentions how Udava was already old man.

We heard him Bhagavad and Krishna spoke to Bhagavad Gita. He was 125 years old.

We heard from Srila Prabhupada that when Krishna spoke the Bhagavad Gita he was 125 years old.

He doesn't grow old because he doesn't have a maternal body.

He doesn't grow old because he doesn't have a material body.

But Uddhava grew old.

He did not lose his service attitude.

But he did not lose his service.

Attitude in this way. In Ka consciousness one should have the enthusiasm to go on with the services in this way. Buddha is a great devotee of the Lord. But the scriptures say that when Lord Chaitanya Mahabharu comes to this world then the situation is completely transformed.

You know, our life must tell you that we don't study. And the mercy of Lord Shikami that.

Even if our minds are not steady, the minds become steady by the mercy of Lord Chaitanya.

His heart was a spout and the mouth of our Lord.

Even if our hearts are hard like a stone, it will be melted by Lord Chaitanya's mercy.

Hate, age. In front of his Rathay Yatra he had danced for miles and miles.

People who saw Prabhupada, their hearts change.

This is the subject roadies sometimes take kid down. We jump high, we dance in circles. We do all.

So sometimes we see that during Kirtans devotees jump high. They dance in circle and they do all these things. In New Panicati Dam Atlanta, Georgia, USA Story times we remember the Prabhupada being there. Someone described that someone was jumping so high in the air that it looked like they would hit the ceiling.

And here Lord and thy presence Prophet.

Said that you are very blessed that here Lord and I are present.

He said that in New York Nanoti went to the temple and was watching on the living.

Prabhupada once said that how in the New York temple, Narada Muni went there and he saw how the Blanchas and the Yamunas they were chanting and dancing.

Pat New York Mandira.

This was the mercy of Goranka and the mercy of Srila Prabhupada.

This happened when Srila Prabhupada was agent. When Shloma Prabhupada would tell us that I do not know how long I'll be in this world. You all please take up the responsibility. So in the same mood I am also telling you I do not also know how long I will be present in this world.

You should take the responsibility and keep on spreading Ka consciousness. So just like Udava, he always kept his remembrance of Krishna. Similarly, all of you should keep your remembrance of Srila Prabhupada. How he handed down his mercy to this Parampara. I believe what we have been given is a priceless thing. And we have been given it so easily. Don't take it very cheaply. You got the greatest treasure. Guard it very carefully.

Retire from devotional service.

Don't think that just because you're old you can retire from devotional service. The service attitude towards Krishna is spiritual. And Prabhupada explains that it never becomes less.

I saw all that in Delhi, clutched and received 5,000 blocks in the marathon.

In Delhi, one old man had pledged that he would distribute 5,000 books during the marathon.

You stand in front of the cars and you tell them that I won't let you go unless you take a boat.

That's a unique method.

That's a unique method.

Whatever your method is.

Whatever your method is, you should think here you've got Maharaj. You can get some ideas.

We wanted to serve a lot of.

Books this year and we want to distribute a lot of books this year.

Two weeks December.

In these last two weeks of December we usually get a lot of people who come to buy a home. December we would like them to take away with them Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavadam.

Among Kendra government, Amankal, DSM J. Ram Mandir Udbadan Shammay Thakpe. And the central government has sent invitation to for us to stay during the opening of the Ram temple. So there are some plans how everybody can take Gita.

I hope you all have taken the mercy.

So Lord Chaitanya has given us his mercy. So I hope that all of you have taken his mercy and rejoice.
