Sam Chaksun Militamyena Tasmai Sri Guru Venamaha Krishna Prastaya Bhutali Sri Mati Bhaktivedanta Swami Ni First I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for to Sripa Jagrath Swami Maharaj for that flow of nuptial inspired us to want to give more and more service to Srila Prabhupada and in the Bhakti Assammitra Sindhu Srila Rupaka Swami enumerates 64 items of devotional service. And he says that out of rose 645 are most potent and even a slight association with any one of those five came awaiting dormant love for Krishna. So what are the five Gita?
Bhagavad Gita or Bhagavatam.
And Rupa Goswami gives a very specific definition of Sadhu Sangha which means Swadiya in a literal sense means belonging to the same community. And in our case swajithiya would mean followers of Sri Lanka. The saga should be more advanced than you are. So this was one of the five most potent forms of the usual service. And I feel, not just feel, but I believe that I am getting that from Sri Baja Taka. Swami Maharaj.
Was explaining about the association and he's saying I fully believe that I'm getting this association.
So Changed the subject. But yes, this definition of Sagar Sangha given by Nirpuga Swami is fulfilled for me by my association with Sripajvaka Swami Maharaj. So by his association, not only in theory according to Rupa Goswami, but also in practical experience, I feel that my dormant love for Krishna is awakening. That would apply to any of us who get Mirage's association. It is our good fortune that he is spending these days with us here at And I began by giving a.
Clock or many Pravachan Shurukya.
And then Maharaj came. And just by his presence I could feel the whole consciousness of everyone in the temple. There's a saying that when the tide rises, all the boats are uplifted. I could feel that Maharaj's presence afterwards he. He gave and then we went to a different room and he gave people prasad from my poor called I build you a temple. The Jew whose story.
I'll build you a temple. A Juhu story.
And towards the end of the book I quote a very significant passage from Sripa Jaipata Swami Maharaj in which he explains the strategic importance of Non Billy in Srila Prabhupada's fight against Maya Maya.
Kiss.
And also said that bomb is the most important city of India. So if you want to turn the tide of Mala, we should begin in so. Yes, I feel that we are all blessed by the visit of his service to make his stay as comfortable and superhuman. In spite of so many physical challenges, he just keeps going and going and going, preaching and preaching and preaching. So of course we're blessed to have him on the surface of the globe. So I would like to read what I said about the significance of Bombay. It. Yes, Bombay had been a strategic location in Prabhupada's war against Maya. Against for us, Bombay is a very important place. One of the most important which Brahmad is connected was his place of worship. Bombay is the most modernized, greatest financial.
Powerhouse in India's most westernized city.
Yes. Prabhupada wanted to establish a temple there with a mission to stop the westernization and to preserve the Ka consciousness. Sometimes Prabhupada would tell us how his Guru Maharaj had ordered him to preach in the West. My Guru Maharaj didn't specifically honor me to preach in India, you said so whenever I preached in the West, I was very successful. His idea was to build temples. But then he said how could he stand by and see India going to hell? By following the west and becoming degraded in various ways. He said that it was his personal mission to preach in India. Brahmananda recounted that Prabhupada had told him that the deity Dwarkadish in Los Angeles had personally spoken to him and ordered him. You have to go back to India and preach there to Brahmananda.
Prabhu Bhattwarakadish Vigraham Swami Maharaj.
I was also told that Prabhupada was ordered by the deities to preach in India also. That's what all you have is that. Any questions?
Hare Krishna, please accept my respectful obeisances. Srila Prabhupada said to go back home, 70% of one's consciousness should be Krishna conscious. Krishna consciousness should. How to measure that 70%? Said that to go to Krishna to go back home you need. You need to be 70% of Krishna conscious. You need to be. So how to measure 70%?
I was present in Montreal. He said 1968. But even in the 90s was that Krishna that time his Asana and he was going down the steps dragging his Ch behind them.
How is it possible that we can go back to godhead being only 70% ka conscious? I have the key to the back door.
Next question. How to do Mahatseva? How to identify who is a pure devotee amongst the devotees whom we can serve.
The door to liberation is open. We have been a follower of Sai who was initiated by Srila Prabhupada Siddhasvar. So Trusta Krishna was saying that Siddhasuru is a pure devotee and he should be served. Responded.
That.
Siddhus is a good soul. But we should not make fractions.
That.
Only certain sweepas appear to verbal and others are not. Anyone who is sincerely serving the spiritual.
Master is incredibly Jobi Guruki Imandari.
Whether or not so we should. Yeah, we should take every opportunity to serve the devotees. Said anyone who's sincerely serving a spiritual master is a pure devotee. How many devotees are there in the world? How many devotees are there in this time?
Next question.
Can I ask question? So please accept my humble obesiences. So when we saw that all of you are so loving, all the God brothers like all the disciples of Srila Prabhupada like all of you are so loving and reciprocating with whole heart full of love natural it's attracting our hearts so much. So what is the secret of all love between other God brothers? Between all of you. So what all of your secret and what is all of your instruction for the next generation took initiation from so many gurus like all of you father and uncles. So how we can actually get that mood, that love and affection and very heartful reciprocation.
To Prabhujika, Prashna, Kijo, Ugly Joe, Pdigi, Guru.
And you Try to think. Think I deserve. I'm very advanced.
Nine, 16 now.
All right.
All right.
Thank you. Sorry.
Thank you. So we're ending now. Which we are. Then I think we should conclude with.
