202402024 - Atheism and its three types

AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada discusses why people practice different religions and how to respect them. He teaches that core devotional practice matters more than the form it takes, and warns against blaspheming other scriptures or faiths. The talk draws on Sri Chaitanya Siksham and the Srimad Bhagavatam.
Sam.
Sa.
Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Siksham. Do you share him? Do you share him? Okay. I think because of the elephant procession. Okay, okay. Differences in body and mind between human beings. Human beings have adapted different natures based on different islands and different countries. The primary main nature of man is the someone. Everywhere secondary nature is different. Although the the main nature of man is the same, there will not be two such people in the world where all the secondary nature will be completely the same. It's also mentioned in RMAD Bhagavatam 11.14.8. Thus, due to the great variety of desires and natures among human beings, there are many different theistic philosophies of life which are handed down through tradition, custom and disciplic succession. Even though born in the same womb, when two brothers are different in their appearance and nature, they are never the same in all aspects. Then how can all human beings who were born in different countries be equal in nature? Different countries have different substances of water, air, mountain, f, florists, eatables and clothing items. By these substances, the shape, color, habits, clothing and food of the humans born in these different countries are naturally different. Even the mental attitudes differ from country to country. Even the concept of God in these countries, although theme in the primary aspect will be different in secondary aspect. Owing to this, at the time when human being progresses above the uncivilized state and gradually gains the civilized state, scientific state, moral state and devotional state, then gradually the system of worshipping the Lord becomes different due to differences in language, differences in dress, differences in food and differences in attitudes. If we consider impartially, there is no harm in such secondary differences. As long as there is unity in the primary Bhajana, there is no fault in the result. Therefore, the specific order of Sriman Mahaprabhu is to worship the form of the Lord who is in Vishuddha Sattva, transcendental pure goodness, but not to criticize the system of worship of other qualifications. Go. Go down. Go down. No. Okay, okay. The devotee should not worship demigods.
Okay.
Sorry.
The devotee should not disrespect them, but.
One should not disrespect them. Similarly, the devotee should not study or criticize other scriptures. Shraddha Bhagavate, Shastri Ninda Manyetra chapihi Shrimad Bhagavatam 11.3.261 should have firm faith that he will achieve all success in life by following those scriptures that describe the Glories of the supreme personality of Godhead Bhagavan at the same time one should avoid blaspheming other script.
It's.
So.
Adeline Grace Latino Chocolate is assuring that the natural differences.
So it's divine Grisha Bhakti Vena Thakur is describing the natural differences between people.
So here's example twins born twists on the same womb more or less at the same time.
So he's giving an example the twins they're born from the same womb more or less at the same time.
Very small difference.
But there is small difference.
We have here like we have Janani Vas and we are drunk and Jangari.
Here we have Janani Vas and Pankajangri.
They were everyone who knows them, but.
Different Everyone who knows them, they are different.
Correct. So since human twins are slightly different.
Since even twins are slightly different.
What to think of Evil are born different times, different countries, different areas of the world.
So what to speak of people who are born in different times, different countries, different areas of the world.
Naturally there'll be difference.
So naturally there will be difference.
It's interesting this rush is brought up and at this time Anujahu is suggesting that we have a unity in diversity week.
Okay, it's interesting that this verse is being brought up. Anutam Prabhu is suggesting that we should have unity and diversity within because Prabhupada.
Said people from all over the world should come and celebrate their parents, our.
Lord Gauranga Because Srila Prabhupada says people from all around the world should come and celebrate the appearance of Lord Goranga.
And discuss and celebrate the unity and.
Diversity and discuss and celebrate the unity in diversity.
So explains visual Tolo as.
Chaitanya Charitamrita explains that we should follow our scriptures and our parampara.
We should not worship demigods and we should not suspect them and we should.
Not worship demigods and we should not disrespect them.
Actually demigods are there also devotees?
Actually demigods they are also devotees.
And they are Sakam devotees.
Actually they may be Sakam devotees but.
They'Re carrying out the Lord's activity order.
They are carrying out the Lord's orders.
So not to destruct them.
So we are. We should not do them.
No one Krishna conscious to Lord Ganesh Chandal I criticize Ganesh.
You know, some Krishna conscious devotees who go to some Ganesh temple and would criticize Ganesh.
I mean so many nice things you could say about Ganesh because I saw he wrote the, the.
Actually, there are so many nice things actually, there are so many nice things to say about Ganesh. He wrote the Mahabharata with his tusk.
He is the eternal personality.
And he is an eternal personality.
But to go in the Ganesh terminal and criticize Ganesh, we were like blacklisted in that country for some time.
To go into a Ganesh temple and criticize Ganesh, you know, we were blacklisted in that country for some time.
So sometimes devotees know these quotes.
Sometimes the devotees, they don't know these quotes.
One should have her life. I will achieve all the Sasan live following the scriptures to glorify the supreme personality.
So one should have firm faith in the scriptures that glorify the supreme personality.
Of Godhead at the same time unto the Lord. Lastly, other scriptures.
Other scriptures.
These are very important points so these.
Are very important points for preachers that.
We don't have permission to blaspheme other.
Scriptures that we don't have permission to blaspheme other scriptures.
And I was recently in the hospital and some Christian nurses came to me.
I was recently in some hospital and some Christian nurses came. So I mentioned, you worship the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost.
But in Christianity, I was born Christianity too. I know a lot about Jesus.
So but in Christianity I was born in a Christian family too. But we know a lot about Jesus.
And I never know much about God.
But I never knew much about God or the Holy Spirit. So his divine grace, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, he explained who is God and how to love him and how to love him.
And so they were. They had to admit. They had to admit in Christianity, they.
Did nothing about God in Christianity except there was one. So in Christianity they don't know anything about God, nothing about God except the one.
Here we are in Nauta Dharma and all the nine processes of Bhakti Yoga.
So but here we are in Navadip Dham, we know the nine processes of.
Bhakti Yoga, trying to understand our relationship with the supreme worship.
We are trying to understand our relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
So Allah, the first commandment of Jesus, he gave 10 commandments. I don't know. I don't remember all of them.
So the first commandment of Jesus, he gave 10 commandments. I don't remember all of them.
First one is love God.
So the first one is that love of God.
That's the one thing that you know.
How to do that that's the one thing that they don't know how to do that.
She gave the nine processes of Bhaktiyala and all the nine islands are related to the nine processes.
So Radharani, she gave the nine processes of Bhakti Yoga and Navadipdam. All the nine islands are related to the 9 process of Bhakti Yoga.
I gave some classes in Christian churches.
I gave some classes in Christian churches.
And it was quite successful.
And it was quite successful.
But I didn't and any rewriting the scriptures, I rather show them how Ka conscience was fulfilling the commandment of Lord Jesus.
So I didn't blaspheme any of their scriptures but I showed them how Ka consciousness, the instructions of Jesus.
I'm just dealing with. So all these Rembrandts of Bhakti Nataka are very useful and practical preaching.
So I'm showing how the references of Bhakti Vinod Thakur are very useful for those who are preaching. Okay. Five types of differences in different religions. Because of the above reasons, the following types of differences are observed in the different religions propagated by peoples of different countries. Namely, different teachers of prophets, Acharyas, different mentality and the feeling of the worshipper. Three different ways of worship. Four different mood and action in relation to the object of worship. Five different names and expressions according to language. So the expansion of the first one.
These are the natural differences.
So here these are the natural differences.
And accordingly different place, different Acharyas, they have different ideas according to different plays.
And different Acharyas, they have different ideas. He knew the Quran by heart.
They were surprised he was holding the Quran. Allah is actually a person.
So they were surprised he was quoting from the Quran. Allah was actually a person.
And it said that he converted the soul group of Muslims.

He actually knew because he is Allah.
He he naturally knew because he's Allah.
He'S Trisha, he is Krishna. So he knows all. Somehow the Islams think that Allah is impersonal.
Somehow Islam's followers, they think that Allah is impersonal.
Anyway, very offensive to Krishna.
Anyway, it's very offensive to Krishna. It's two to seven, two minutes left.
So at this and to each point different teachers, fathers, acharyas, etc. That'll take time.
So after this he goes into each points differences between teachers, prophets, acharyas, it takes time. Are there any Christians?
I was Here I think I don't mind what religion. They are Muslims.
