Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Shaitanya Shiksham. Do you hear him? Do you hear him? Sound increase. Study the natives. He don't take much pressure. I think because of the elephant possession. Okay Differences in Body and Mind between Human Beings Human beings have adopted different natures based on different islands and different countries. The primary main nature of man is the sum is the Samvan. Everywhere secondary nature is different. Although the main nature of man is the same, there will not be two such people in the world that all the secondary nature will be completely the same. This is also mentioned in RHABU 11.8. Thus, due to the great variety of desires and natures among human beings, there are many different theistic philosophies of life which are handled now through tradition, custom and disciplinic 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, morals, eat, girls and clothing items. By these substances 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 themed in the primary aspect, will be different in secondary aspects. Owing to this, at the time when human being progresses above the uncivilized state and rarely 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 Srimad Mahaprabhu is to worship the form of the Lord whose in Vishuddha Sattva transcendental Pure Buddhas is, but not to criticize the system of worship of others with other qualifications. Anna Dev Ana Shastra Nakaripo the devotee should not worship demigod Nindana Karibu, but one should not disrespect them. Similarly, the devotee should not study or criticize other scriptures. Shraddham Bhag, Bhagavadi, Shastri, Binda, Manyatra chapi, Shivad Bhagavatam 11.3 point 26 one 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 God in Bhagawan at the same time one should avoid blaspheming other script First Divine Krishna Babi Vila Thakur is describing the natural differences between people.
Twins a warm tissue from the sound of the womb more or less at the same time.
So he's giving an example. The twins were born from the same womb more or less at the same time. But there is small difference we have here right now.
Kalyna.
Here we have Jidani Vas and Frankejamli. Everyone who knows them. They're different.
Since.
Human twins are slightly different.
Since even twins are slightly different.
Much to see the people who are born different times, different countries, different areas of the world.
So why to speak of people who are born in different times, different countries, different areas of the world?
Natural difference.
So naturally there will be difference.
It's interesting and this version is brought.
Up.
At this time. Another group has seduction but without I only painted my version of the week talking.
It's interesting that this verse is being brought up. Anutam Prabhu is suggesting that we should.
Have unity and diversity within Because Bhagavad said people from all over the world should come and celebrate the trance of.
Lord Random Because Srila Prabhupada says people from all around the world should come and celebrate the appearance of Lord Gorana.
And to source and celebrate the humanly.
And diversity and discuss and celebrate unity in diversity to the Chaitanya Charitamrita explains that we should follow our scriptures and our Parampara and we should not worship demigods and we should not disrespect them. Actually demigods, they are also devotees.
And maybe Sakhaan devotees.
Actually they may be Sakam devotees.
Well, they're carrying off the Lord's.
They are carrying out the Lord's orders. So we should not disrespect them. Friends and Krishna conscious devotees who go to some Ganesh temples and criticize Ganesh. Actually there are so many nice things actually there are so many nice things to say about Ganesh. He wrote the Mahabharata with his task to go to a Ganesh temple and criticize Ganesh you know, we were blacklisted in that country for some time. So.
Sometimes the lorries.
Sometimes the devotees, they don't know these quotes. One should have firm faith in the scriptures that glorify the supreme personality of Godhead. At the same time, one should avoid blaspheming other scriptures. 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 in I.
Was recently in some hospital and some Christian nurses came.
Worship.
So I mentioned you worshiped 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 our world wants to work on.
But I never knew much about God or the Holy Spirit. He explained who is God and talked Loveth.
And so they were, they had to.
Admit, they had to admit in Christianity they knew nothing about God in Christianity.
Except the Wise One.
So in Christianity they don't know anything about God, nothing about God except the one.
Here we are now with God and only nine processes of Bhakti Yoga.
So but here we are in Navadigam we know the nine processes of Bhakti.
Yoga trying to understand our relationship with faith.
We are trying to understand our relationship with the supreme personality of Gandhi.
Firstly, I don't know Jesus, he gave tremendous I don't know what, I don't remember all of them.
So the first commandment of Jesus, he gave ten commandments. I don't remember all of them.
First one is the Lord.
So the first one is that love of God.
That's the one thing or the Doula.
That'S the one thing that they don't know how to do that.
Nine process through Makayola, all of their problems. All the nine islands are related to the nine crosses.
So Radharanishi gave the nine crosses of Bhakti Yoga and now they've done all the nine islands are related to the nine classes of Bhakti Yoga.
I gave some classes in Christian churches.
I gave some classes in Christian churches.
It was quite successful.
It was quite successful.
I was struggling how Krishna consciousness was fulfilling.
So I didn't bless him any of their scriptures but I showed them how Krishna consciousness is fulfilling the instructions of Jesus.
So how this remembrances of Bhakti and Yogachir are very useful and practical teaching.
So I'm showing How the references of Bakimin and Thakur are very useful for those who are preaching. Five types of differences in different regions 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 or 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. So here these are the natural differences according to different place and different macharyas. They have different ideas. Lord Shaitanya, he knew the Quran by.
Heart and they were surprised. That's why 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 with all fruit of Muslims.
It shows that how he converted the whole group of Muslims who became as Muslims.
But he did this by using their.
Shastras and he did this by using the. Because he's Allah.
He is Krishna.
He is Krishna.
So he knows all. Somehow.
Somehow Islam's followers may think that Allah is impersonal.
Anyway.
Anyway, it's very offensive to Krishna. Drama two to seven. Two minutes left.
Creatures, fathers, Ashayas.
So after this he goes into each points differences between teachers, prophets, acharyas. It takes time. Are there any Christians? I was here at the Mypur village. They are Muslims. So one creature came. He did something with a blackboard. I don't know exactly what it is. It was some star, the color, something. And then he turned the blackboard over to see. So then he overturned the boy and he connected some lines and he see, you see this is Allah. Allah Akbar.
Not much. Much.
So there were. There were not some. There was not some philosophy. It was like some kid book drawing. This is how they were preaching. There was so much philosophy.
Some sent Gupta or some Buddha, I don't know. Ask Hindu who converted to any song.
Got converted into his and they are very proud of that.
So my fit Buddha to the thoughts of Lord Jaidena he spoke to them.
Through the cause of Lord Chaitanya. He spoke to them in Arabic. So I asked a PhD Muslim who had become a devotee in Russia.
What are the verses in the Quran which say what? Archaican is saying what?
Any verses in Quran which says. Which says what Lord Chaitanya saved.
Is that the one verse? Allah is a light.
There's one verse after studying, he said there is one. He said there is one verse which says Allah is a light. There are Hundreds of verses which says that he's a person. Hundreds of verses. He says compassionate is merciful. You don't say this line, oh, this is very merciful, very compassionate.
So pleased. Most of the voices of Allah would shut Allah in a personal way.
He said that most of the places in Quran describe Allah as a person. I don't know where it is. Right. So Gurmail, there's another meeting right now? No, she's offering Pranavsk marriage. Hi Krishna. Good morning.
Krishna.
Please accept my. I heard that the next decade will be a decade of years. As slowly all the disciples of Srila Prabhupada will leave the planet. Guru Maharaj, as young disciples, how should we deal with this? We are still so immature.
Of course, someone with disciples joining in the 80s.
Of course, some of the disciples they've joined in 80s, 90s.
We hope the senior disciples would take responsibility for the more junior disciples.
So we hope that the senior disciples will take responsibility of. To my junior disciples.
I say it was a letter my Lord wrote to me so I should spend more time in my work.
Actually, the selectress La Prabhupa wrote to me saying that I should spend more time in my book and help.
My assistants helped me to spread Krishna consciousness all over the world.
And to have my assistance help me to spread Krishna consciousness all over the world.
At that time, all my assistants were younger God brothers and God sisters.
At that time, all my sisters were younger Godbrothers and God sisters.
Now I have disciples and we saw some of that older and more mature.
Some will be older, more mature.
My timer, with the help of Maharashtra and trying to establish one of the saddles had no laurels.
So now with the help of his great Bajishwar Guru, I am trying to establish many disciples as gurus.
Problem is that not many complex books.
The problem is not many fresh or complex books.
Other problems are there. But everybody studied problems about books like.
Other problems are not there. If everybody has studied Shloka principles.
Transmit the same message in that way we.
Can have some faith that they can transmit the same message.
And the twelve Kingdom come. It says.
In the dark what.
In.
The class cantor says that.
Familiar with all the different prana or utterances.
More people are familiar with these different pramanas or evidences.
They can help people who are able to preach.
So they can preach. We are trying to get people those who are able to preach. Okay.
World of love and drought.
Anyway, what can we do? This is material world of birth and death.
It's called Marty Loka this is called.
Martya Loka Planet of death.
Here are the people everyone dies.
Here are the people everyone dies.
Take every opportunity to read cardboard books to hear the.
I mean you should take every opportunity to reach the Prabhupada school. Compared to his classes don't stay just as a Kanishta adhikari.

And I opened up a new temple.
In Toronto all the way to LA.
And Shikharabad called me to LA all right.
Over help Babawa and all.
So he told me he'll call me later. And meanwhile I sent to Chicago head Babylon to open the temple. Parents calling to come to them.
They didn't tell they were lied to Prabhupada. They said they had a place to stay.
They took Prabhupada. They had a place to stay but they didn't have.
I was staying up for a few months.
So I was staying in the Gaudi mud for a few months.
So there for a long time. Legends there being an outbreak.
For a long time they considered me as an offbreed. Somehow I don't know. I stayed there. And then I became the temple president of Kolkata.
