Guru Maharaj and devotees discuss religious tolerance in devotional practice, drawing on teachings about not criticizing other spiritual systems while staying committed to your own. The session covers five types of false religion and includes Q&A on practical matters like guru surrender and atheism.
Nam Sri.
Krishna Krishnah.
Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Shri Chaitanya Shikshamratam of Srila Bhasachi Dananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur Non criticism and non enviousness towards other secondary Bhajan systems. According to these five types of differences, different religions in the world are very different from each other. It's only natural that this various religions will be different. But it is absolutely unfair and harmful to quarrel with each other due to the shade of difference. If one is present during the time of the worship of others worship, then one should have this mood. My object of worship, the absolute truth is being worshipped in a different form. Due to my different habits, I cannot enter this system properly. But seeing this, greater feelings towards my mode of worship is generated. Paramadhattva the absolute truth is one without a second. I offer my obeisances to the form which I see here. And I pray to my Lord who has appeared in this different form that he that he increased my love for the form of my desired object of worship.
Our brother was telling us how Christians and Muslims in one sense are also like Shavas.
Srila Prabhupada was telling us how Christians and Muslims are also in one sense Vaishnavas.
Because they believe in one God.
Because they believe in one God which.
Is the basic Vaishnava process.
Which is the basic Vaiava process.
As they have a different system, I didn't form them. So it's not something you really want to enter into.
So just because they have a different system, different form that really makes something that we don't want to enter into.
What we appreciate. They're worshiping what they think is the one God.
So we appreciate them worshipping the Lord and they think there is one God.
The difference is really silent.
I think the difference is really a secondary thing.
Note I'm a doctor. There's also suggestion that we should.
I.
Teach our love for the aspect that we are worshiping.
Also Bhakti Venut Thakur also suggesting that we should increase our love for the object that we are worshipping.
So we don't offend or blaspheme the other processes.
So we don't offend or blaspheme the other processes.
I treat them respectfully and stick to our own process.
We treat them respectfully and stick to our own process. This is a note right from this chapter mentioned.
Paragraph will be read by his grace.
Thank you. I see the non difference in Narayana, the husband of Lakshmi and Ramachandra the husband of Sita both being the super soul in everyone's heart. Nevertheless, the lotus eye drama alone is everything to me. This is a note Guru Maharaj. And there's a next subtopic coming up.
For instance, has this consciousness although clicks and learn wrong.
He.
Doesn'T disrespect our friend Narayana.
So Hanuman has this consciousness. Although he is fixed in Lord Ram. He doesn't disrespect Lord Narayan just because there's a difference. What's that? Just because there's a difference between Lakshmi Narayan and Sita Ram, it doesn't mean that we have to disrespect.
Although actual plane, but not different also.
On the absolute plane, there is no difference. Enviousness is to be given up. Those who do not behave in this way as above stated, but hate, violently, envy or criticize the different system, they are completely useless and have lost their intelligence. They do not care that much for their own ultimate goal of life as much as they care for the unnecessary. It is necessary to reject the practice of false religions. There is only one thing to consider among this. It is useless to criticize the different methods of worship. But if any real fault is found, it can never be cherished. So here Bhakti Vinod Thakur emphasizes.
You.
Should be careful about blaspheming or criticizing other religions. There's a note. There are five branches of E religion, appropriately known as e religion with Herma religious principle, pretentious religion, Upadharma. Can you hear? Analogical religion and cheating religion Chala Dharma. One who's aware of real religious life must abandon there's five irreligious as five as e religious religious principles. This excuse me that obstruct one from following his own religion is called Vidharma Religious principle introduced by others are called Paradharma. A new type of religion created by one who is falsely proud and who opposes the principles of principles of the Vedas is called Upadharma. An interpretation by one's jugglery of words is called Chala Dharma, a pretentious religious system manufactured by willfully neglect. One who willfully neglects the prescribed duties of his order of life is called Abasa, a deemed reflection or a false similarity. But if one performs the prescribed duties for his particular varna, why are they not sufficient to mitigate all material distresses? Quote From Srimad can to 7, chapter 15, verse number 1214. Rather, the living entities will be benefited if by proper means definite effort is done to uproot them the faults. This is why Shri Sri Mahaprabhu reason with the Buddhists, Jains and Nirvi Seshavadi and brought them to the right path. The character of the Lord. Can you hear me? Should be the ideal form for all devotees everywhere.
Not here he described different dharmas.
So here he describes different dharmas which.
Are not, which are partially true, which.
Are partly Hare Krishna.
Vidharma or irreligion.
Vidharma or irreligion.
Unfit religious principles.
Unfit religious principles.
Paradharma Pretentious religion.
Pretentious religion. Abhasa, Analogical religion.
Upadharma and cheating religion.
And cheating religion.
We got five types of irreligion.
So these are the five types of irreligion.
So you're gonna see someone is giving a misinterpretation of Krishna consciousness.
So we can see when someone is giving a misinterpretation of Krishna consciousness, maybe a type of Vidharma.
To hear that up, analyze. It's like some coins may be rolled and maybe some other.
So like we should analyze. Just like some coins might be real gold and some coins might be other things.
So the different nomenclature are different kinds of laws. Imitation Dharma.
So this is the different nomenclature for different kinds of false and imitation Dharma.
And some dharmas may be completely different than the Vedic principle.
So as we may see, some dharmas may be completely different, completely different from the Vedic principle religion. So it may it becomes Paradharma, a type of Vidharma. A type of Vidharma.
Another type as one who falsely has created another Another type is one who.
Has falsely created a new religious system.
Very proud of that.
And he's very proud of that. It's called Upadharma and that's called as Upadharma.
So once you understand what type of dharma is being followed, so one should.
Understand what type of Dharma is being followed. The pure Dharma.
Avoid all types of.
And avoid other types of Adharma. Okay, the next. Go to the next. Okay, different types of apadharma. False religions. Devotees should not accept as religions that have all of these unwanted things such as falsehoods, atheism, skepticism, materialism, theory of no spiritual soul, naturalism and voidism. Nirvi, Seshavad. These religions will be known as e religion. Vidharma, cheating religion, Chaladharma, pretentious religion, Dharma Basa or e religion. Know that the condition of their of their worshippers are deplorable. Will be deplorable. As far as you can take care to protect the living entities from all these misfortunes.
So These things were.
Ring.
A rabba means prana mantra. He states that he dies trying to save the western people from this adharma.
So srila prabhupada he states in his pranam it states in his pranam mantra he comes to deliver the western people from all these kinds of adharmas. In his pranam mantra it is mentioned in his prana mantra it is mentioned.
Means motionless.
Nirvishesha means impersonal.
Impersonal. Impersonalism means voidist.
So nirvi seshawadi means impersonalist. Surnyavadi means voidists.
Both teachings are all religious. If they are running a concert of their religion or radism or impersonalism.
So those really those concepts even though it's religion, but they're promoting concept of impersonalism, voidism and other sorts of irreligion.
We should avoid that.
We should avoid it.
I was riding on an airplane and there was one Christian brother.
So I was riding on my airplane, there was one Christian brother.
I told the wrong thing. Ten commandments of Jesus.
So I told him about the so I told him about the ten commandments of Lord Jesus.
He said, I don't accept.
He said, I don't accept.
I don't believe that there is a God.
I don't believe that there is God.
I like to satism on that.
I like the second commandment that you should love your neighbor.
People like they don't believe their own religion.
I mean people like this, they don't believe in their own religion.
You have to be careful.
So we have love of God is eternal religion. That's the verse is as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.8. The Occupational Activities of man performed according to his own position are only so much useless labor if they do not provoke attraction for the message of the personality of Godhead. The eternal occupational duty Nitya Dharma of the living entity. Even though the above five types of differences are seen, the dharma in which unalloyed pure love Vimal Prem is indicated is the actual Dharma. It is inappropriate to debate on external differences. If the purpose of Dharma is pure, then everything is endowed with good symptoms. Atheism, skepticism, pantheism, materialism, theory of spiritual soul, of no spiritual soul, Karma theory, naturalism, voidism, Nirvi seshavaat are inherently against love. This will be shown everywhere elsewhere in in the Elsewhere in the in the book.
Misconceptions are against love.
So these misconceptions are against love.
That's why Secretary of Lord Chaitanya.
He.
Would read the books first.
That's why the secretary of Lord Chaitanya he would read the books first.
And he found something which didn't. He would not allow the person to see Lord Chaitanya.
And then he would not allow the person to see Lord Chaitanya. Which is against.
Pure love is pure.
Pure love is pure.
Zone and rationalism. Atheism.
If some have some misconception like whiteism.
Impersonalism, atheism, but not actually how they love.
They can't actually have pure love.
They say you have no soul.
They say you have no soul.
There are no soul. You don't have love for Krishna if.
There is no soul. You cannot have love for Krishna because.
You have a soul. Krishna is a soul. You are part of Ka.
You have a soul because you are part of Krishna. Krishna have soul, you have soul. So you have love for Krishna.
Who here is without soul?
Who here is without soul? Raise your hands. Who has a soul?
I was checking it in the right way.
I'm just checking whether I am in the right place.
The end. While these are all genoine lovers. These are all genuine lovers of the supreme personality.
Of the supreme personality of God.
So do you have any questions?
Do you have. That is already a question. So there's a question. Yeah. Your spiritual daughter, she's here? Yeah, she's there. Hari Tamadavi Devi Dasi Hare Krishna. Dear Gurudev, please accept my respectful obeisances. Accepted. My question is. When Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was a little boy, he liberated a little puppy and gave him Krishna Prem. When Lord Chaitanya was this little boy, he liberated a puppy and gave liberated a puppy and gave it Krishna pray a puppy. Okay. And also Srila Bhaktived Thakur mentions how he once just to be like a dog behind Mahprabhu. I've seen some devotees raise dogs as well. But in one of your class you mentioned that dogs are not present in Goloka as they may tend to urinate on Srimati Tulisi Devi, how do we understand the mood of our Acharya in this regard? Shla Guru Maharaj, is it alright for devotees to have pets? Your humble servant, Haritha Madhavi Devidasi.
You see, this material world, things have their use.
You see, in this material world, things have their use.
That's not here one may keep a dog.
So here one may keep a dog.
Well, the rules are different.
But the rules.
Not normally not allowed in the house.
The dogs are not normally Allowed in the house.
They stay outside.
They stay outside.
And so. So that house is kept pure.
So that the house is kept pure.
So according to the system.
So according to this system.
One may have rats. What the particular use.
So one may have bad for their particular use.
Like the I might shoot a dog or something outside the house to show away other animals.
So they may keep a dog or animals outside the house to keep away other animals.
Quality of dog is not loyal.
Prabhupada said that the good quality of a dog is that it's very loyal.
And.
He.
Follows his master.
And it follows its master. Okay. Then there's one more. The last question. We have question from previous day. There's some questions from the previous day. I'm just reading it out to you. Okay. Okay. No, we. We asked this already. Yeah. Okay. So Guru Maharaj, there's a question from your spiritual daughter, Janavi Nimai Priya Devi Dasi. Janavi Nimai Priya. Is she here? Your sister? Right. Okay. Janavi Nimai Priya.
Priya.
Yeah.
Who is that?
She is Shama Krishna Priya's sister. But she's not here. But the sister is here.
Okay. She's not here.
She's online.
She online?
Yeah. Srila Prabhupada said that one should search, surrender and serve a guru. How do I nicely surrender and serve you, Guru Maharaj?
System of initiation.
There is a system of initiation.
And of course you take shelter of a guru. Touch them, ask them questions.
First you take shelter of a guru, Ask them a question, test them.
And if you are convinced, and if you are convinced trying to help you.
That he's trying to help you, he doesn't do anything to hurt you, then you can surrender to him. Yeah. There's one more. Hare Krishna. Guru Maharaj, please. Please accept my respectful obeisances. Thank you for the class. How is. You're most welcome. How is that some people are so hard hearted that they have firm belief that there is no God? How is that people are so hard hearted that they have firm faith there is no God? And the second part of the question is how can their hearts be transformed? Question from Madhuri Mamata Mahi Mataji.
Some people have hard hearts.
Some people have hard hearts.
Whether or not believe in God.
They may not believe in God.
There are some atheists like this.
There are some atheists like this.
When they saw Lord Chaitanya, when they.
Saw Lord Chaitanya dancing and.
Feeling ecstasy.
Dancing and feeling ecstasy.
They melted. They melted and changed their attitude. So someone May be strong enough to say their associates, Asian atheist, theist.
So someone may be strong enough just by their association they can make atheists into theist.
Sometimes.
Sometimes they may be. They may changed by philosophy.
Tells us.
Like this and different and they do different and through different things.
I was talking to a person.
I was talking to a person.
The person was telling how.
And that.
Person trusting her atheism.
So the person was telling how there was no God and he was expressing atheism suddenly.
And the sentences saw how I saw earthquake.
And suddenly in San Francisco there was.
An earthquake and the crystal dangerous thing.
So and the crystals behind him, the glasses behind him started to shake. And it was a very dangerous thing.
And this person was changed.
And this person immediately was changed.
God saved me, God save me.
He started saying, God save me, God save me.
One minute the person was atheistic and then danger came and no one could save God.
So one minute the person was atheistic, when another minute he saw no one was there to save save him. Then he was calling for God.
So that changes people. It's an interesting question.
So what changes people is an interesting question. Okay. Guru Maharaj, there is one more thing.
One more.
No, not a question. That's not a question. It's just like requesting you to pray. Yeah. Your disciple, her name is Jagat Mai Kirtida Devidasi. She left a body yesterday morning in Mayapur.
