So today they are expecting around 12,000 people.

It.

Today also is Basant Ras they say in East India they celebrate this Kasantra and set more prominently and in Vrindavan.

So this verse Udava is asking why Krishna seems to do contradictory things.

So actually in this verse Ultrava is asking why Krishna seems to do contradictory things. In 10th Canto it explains that Krishna he doesn't have any material body. It all is avatars like Lord Chaitanyananda they also don't have material body. So actually Prabhupada explains the activities of Krishna are actually Param Brahma.

He enjoys internal potency.

He enjoys the internal potency.

He likes. What we have in the material world is just, I think Sri Lanka has said a perverted reflection.

What we have in the material world Srila Prabhupada said is permoted reflection. Prabhupada says Graham Hitucham the material happiness is very insignificant.

Our relationship with his pure devotees.

But Krishna he enjoys his relationship with his pure devotees. He doesn't need anything.

And these are relationships.

But the devotees they approach the Lord in different relationships.

The Pandavas are friends of Krishna.

The Pandavas are the friends of Krishna.

One of the Rabishte Rishaka.

And then after the Guru Chakra war.

We have.

A special meeting about war room.

But after the Gurukshetra war they had a special meeting in the war room.

Say Mrs. Gware after Mrs. Meeting.

This is the room where they find out wars.

This is the room where they plan out wars.

But they have discussed how we will get the association of Ka. Now all our enemies have been destroyed. But Krishna has left us.

There. And she was also she wondered how are we going to get how? What reason? We don't have any other reason. We need to Krishna so Draupadi was.

There she was saying now we don't have any more enemies but we need Krishna.

This was the amazing relationship between the Pandavas.

So this was the amazing relationship between Pandavas the wise and Krishna.

Stop.

So this ecstasy is non stop.

I.

Was thinking how can I get Krishna.

Always thinking how can I get association of Krishna.

And the 12th candle.

In 9th canto the Habsara Urubashi she says many things against the woman.

How their.

Hearts they don't have mercy.

But in the prayer heart Bharra said.

But in the Purport Srila Prabhupada says but when it comes to Krishna consciousness.

For all.

Egos, man, woman, Shudra, whatever they are.

All equal if they are Ka Consciousness Sutrava, Jkala Shudra, Sambava.

Kala Shudra, Sambhava in Kalyuga everyone is a Shudra.

Went.

To the west and preached and we were actually lower than all of these.

Categories.

Here are Prabhupada sat that.

The.

Lord is Krishna conscious we're all evil.

So but anyways here Srila Prabhupada says devotees Krishna conscious they are all equal.

Can the transcendental qualities of Krishna actually.

The devotees of Lord Krishna they are totally absorbed in transcendental qualities of Krishna Today we are observing the appearance day of our great Acharya Naruto.

So on.

The Vyas Puja day of srila prabhupada in 1973 prabhupada told to his kriyashta disciples in London.

One he told them they should all be paramahansa one thing.

He told them they should all be Paramahansas Today being the appearance day of our Acharya.

Master Samastra.

Prabhupada said my spiritual master he was the son of Shilabakti Vinod Thakur so all the Kriyashtas they should have Acharyas as their children we need O Lord of Acharyas.

That'S why a lot of preachers.

This way we want all the preachers to preach Ka consciousness like Srilabhakti, Siddhanta, Saraswati.

But.

He wanted to be engaged in pure devotional service.

So he gave the kingdom to his cousin brother so he gave.

The kingdom to his cousin brother he took initiation from.

He took instruction from.

Jir Goswami but he took instructions from Jeeva Goswami.

Pure glory or Krishna.

It.

Doesn'T matter whether Law and Shakya vice versa sutra and all if you are.

A devotee of Krishna then it doesn't matter whether you are a Brahmin shadow Vaishya or Shudra.

The worry of Krishna. Actually we can really understand how wonderful Krishna is.

But if you can really understand how wonderful Krishna is.

He doesn't need anything.

He doesn't need anything.

He is self satisfied.

But he reciprocates with his devotees.

So we should understand how great Christians.

So we should understand how great Krishna is.

Krishna was in Dharga Ravani Choga. You know, I was a.

When Krishna was in Dwarka, Rukmini told him that you know everything.

You know what Lord Brahma is doing in Satya Loka. You know what Lord Shiva is doing in Kailasa.

But there's one thing you don't know.

But there's one thing you don't know. What you don't know. Krishna said, what is that?

Krishnavala Jagavati.

I'm trying short.

I'm trying to make it short.

You don't know.

Rukmini said, you don't know.

How much your devotees value.

How much your devotees love you.

Why they love you?

In what way they love you because you are Bhagawan. You don't have anyone above you, son.

Then Krishna said he would come as his devotee.

Then Krishna said that in Kalyuga he'll come as his devotee. He took the mood and heart of Radharani.

So how Shivati Radhari had loved Krishna. He came as Chaitanya Mahapu. And he is depicted as.

So there is the Asantaras.

So today is the Basantaras.

When the Gopis are approaching Krishna.

Many Gopis they are approaching Krishna to dance.

But Krishna is self satisfying.

But Krishna is self satisfied.

Reciprocates with all these.

But he is so kind that he reciprocates with all his devotees. Narasanta Stakur. He appeared on this day on full moon day. And he wrote many beautiful songs.

Which we sing in our daily.

Which we sing in our daily schedule. He was saying how we should take the shelter of lotus feet of Mitari.

Any Bolshevik Last day before yesterday it was Nityananda. The lotus feet of Lord Nithyananda is as cooling as millions of moons.

Which.

Satiate on which pulls out the entire universe.

May also use songs our ten shelter our Lord Chaitana Lord is big.

There are also psalms which says taking the shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nithyananda.

The two lotus feet of Lord Goranda. One who considers them to be his own possession. And Yadu accepts that he knows the essence of devotional service.

Indra material devotion. He tells how it will start Radical.

So in Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu method of devotion it says that how you start with Vaidi Bhumal and then how you reach to Ragarungamal.

Realizes Krishna.

So like this eventually one realizes Krishna.

So I was so far so that. But although I've read it for many times.

So I was very fortunate. Although I read Bhakti Vedanta many times. But I won. I read Bhagavata many times. But I wanted to get Bhakti Vedanta degree. So I was reading Srimad Bhagavatam very carefully.

My Lord institute told me that I crossed honors.

So Mayapur Institute they said I passed. I passed Bhakti Vedanta with honors. I said still didn't get my certificate. I hope that you all read Srila Prabhupada's dose very carefully.

He was meditating.

Markande Rishi.

He was meditating on Krishna for 6 manuscript 172.

Answer.

The lifespan of one Manu is 172 cycle of 4 humans.

For 6 months and he meditated. For 6 months and he meditated.

He was so much fixed and manifested on Krishna.

So he was so much fixed on meditation of Krishna.

Please consider my brother. Please consider the mercy of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Because if you consider the mercy of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu you will be completely amused. You will be completely wonderstruck. By the mercy of Lord Chaitanya Maharaj.

We live a very short time.

One lifetime.

But in one lifetime, by the mercy of Lord Chaitanya we can get the mercy of Krishna. The words in 12 canto. So he took my verse. So it says that this Kalyuga is ocean of defects. But there is one good quality. Chanting the holy names of Krishna. That's the one good quality. It gets you liberation and you go back home. Back to Godhead. So.

Now for our country has a great opportunity.

Of course. Now we have a great opportunity to receive the visiting devotees during God Purnima festival.

Allah.

You should all try to welcome everyone. Everybody with love and care.

So that's a great opportunity we have.

I want to start. I saw the customers. I'm not a customer.

There was a store where I read. Customers are not disturbance. There are reason why we are doing business.

My battle and the world headquarters. It's our murders.

So like that we are staying in world headquarters. So devotees are coming. They are not disturbance. That's the purpose. Purpose we are staying here.

He saw how much love the Lord Israel.

Lord Chaitanya showed how much love the devotees have for Krishna.

Hello.

But he's Krishna himself. He came down to show how to serve Krishna.

He's Krishna himself. He came down to show how to serve Krishna.

So in this way Krishna is teaching how one should perform devotional service to him.

So some Briharas asked how is it to be a Paramahansa? What do we have to do?

So some Dhriyashtas asked me what do we have to do to become Paramahansas? Be completely absorbed in pleasing Krishna.

Sanyasis and senior Brahmacharis that's an ideal thing.

Sannyasis senior Brahmacharis that's an ideal thing.

Just thinking how the mind is wavering better they look at us than a bad Brahmachari.

But if some Brahmachari's mind is wavering so it's better to be a good Krihasta than a bad Brahmachari. Our Krishna conscious ladies, they should encourage their husband to do husbands to do devotional service. And the Krishna conscious husbands, they should encourage their wives to do Krishna conscious activities.

Council.

So like the Pandavas they're having in the world Council they are discussing how we can see Krishna again.

I was.

I came from Delhi and on Sunday I was Last Sunday I was in the temple so I came.

From Delhi and last Sunday I was in Delhi temple.

I revealed that I have seen how Delhi president he was encouraging all the.

People.

How what is going flex.

But I revealed the secret how Delhi temple president he was going to all the grass us to ask what is your pledge for the book distribution marathon?

I told him that I reveal this to the devotees of my Lord and they not all the devotees.

So I told him that I revealed this to the devotees in Mayapur and they got all the devotees to distribute bureau. So he said Mayapur is number one, Delhi is number two. But he said next year they are really going behind all the Kriya stars ladies so that they can distribute books.

More kimothini1 len forward.

So I'm just warning you ahead of time Our Brahmacharis they are very committed.

But we need to encourage each other.

So we want the Dirihastas to encourage each other to distribute books. So I was thinking how wonderful it is. Lord Chaitanya, Lord Krishna, they reciprocate with our devotees in the material world they only have occasionally little happiness.

Krishna consciousness.

But in Krishna consciousness mood the bliss is unlimited.

Shiva Hindu.

Actually try to win Krishna.

And it's constant if we try to actually please Krishna so This is the special mercy of Lord Chaitanyanda. Prabhupada explained that Lord Chaitanya, Nithyananda, they're even more merciful than Krishna.

If you surrender to Krishna, then you get love of Krishna. If one chants the name of Lord Caitanya. If one chants the name of Lord detached one sinner. How wonderful. One will get love of God.

Anyway, today is a very auspicious day. It's a very auspicious day.
