Can you put Guruma is here in the Krishna, the form of eternity, knowledge and bliss is the Supreme Lord. He has no other origin. He is the origin of all. His name in scripture is Govinda. He is the cause of all causes as mentioned in the instruction to Sanatana Goswami Krishnesurup, Krishnesurup Bichar Shuno Sanatan Adai Gyan Tatto Braje, Brajendra Nandan Sharvadi, Sarganshi, Kishore Shekar, Chidananda Deho, Sharvashrai Sharveshwar Soyam Bhagavan, Krishna, Kubinda Puranam, Sarvaishwaryapoor, Najaar Golok Nittadham O Sanatan, please hear about the eternal form of the Lord Krishna. He is the absolute truth devoid of duality but present in Vrindavan. As the son of Nanda Maharaj, Krishna is the original source of everything and the sum total of everything. He appears as the supreme youth and his whole body is composed of spiritual bliss. He is the shelter of everything and master of everyone. The original personality of Godhead is Krishna. His original name is Govinda is full of all opulences. His and his eternal abode is known as Rigoloka Vrindavan.

I Krishna is the original personality just.

Like rla Prabhupada he quotes that Ka is the original personality. He quotes from the Upanishads. He quotes from the Upanishads. He quotes this Eko Bahu Nam. He is one, but he has expanded into many.

He provides for all the people.

And he provides for all the people.

Even in the prison house, the government provides food.

Even in the prison house, the government provides food.

My mother is starving in prison house.

Nobody is starving in this prison house.

I heard arzondarotes that were not mer Andre. What's the word I once said?

Delicious. So I heard from some people whom I knew.

They would like to go in the jail.

They would like to go into the.

Jail because they got preroad.

Because they get free food.

Krishna is providing.

So Krishna is providing.

He provides for everyone.

So Krishna, he provides for everyone.

As long as we are completing Krishna, we are.

As long as we are competing with Krishna, we are envious of Krishna. Then we are in this material world.

We have to become favorable to Krishna.

So we have to become favorable to Krishna.

We have to want to please Krishna.

We have to want to please Krishna.

The Ka consciousness means to be favorable.

Krishna consciousness means to be favorable to Ka.

Personal, eternal Muhammad and bliss. Sat Sidha Nanda.

He is a person with eternal knowledge and bliss. Sat Chit Ananda.

Amen. So Ka consciousness means. And we want to do everything to please for song.

So Krishna consciousness means we give up our independent nature and we want to do everything to please Krishna. Shall I?

So it says also that he is the source of everything.

It says also that he is the source of everything.

All these other social and material worlds.

All the spiritual and material worlds are coming from him.

So the result of Ka Satanama is.

See. So sorry. So the original form of Krishna is Satchidananda and it is spiritual.

And he is present in the Lord.

And he is present in Vrindavan as.

The son of Nanda Maharaj.

I feel some people wear shirts.

JP Actually some people they wear shirts with g a p. Next 20.15 2. 150 5. Brahma Samhita 5.43 Devi Mahesha Haridamashuteshuteshu Tete Prabhavani Chaya Vitaschayena Govindamadi Purusham Tamahamba Jami.

So this was this Verse was told us by Baba. And the sign was.

This verse was told by Srila Prabhupada that we should have it in the Scientific museum of the Vedic Planetarium.

Hare Ram.

So there is Devi Dham, Mahesh Dham, Haridham and Goloka Dham. Okay? The translation lowest of all is located Devi Dharma, mundane world. Next above it is Mahesh Dhamma, abode of Mahesha, Lord Shiva. Above Mahesh Dhamma is placed Haridharma, abode of Lord Hari. And above them all is located Krishna's own realm named Goloka. I adore the primeval Lord Govinda who has allotted their respective authorities to the rulers of those graded realms. And Davy, she's in charge of the David harm.

So am I, brother. Scientific museum. On the way up on the veil, they're going to show the different aspects.

So in our scientific museum of the Vedic Planetarium we are going to show the different aspects.

1, 2, 3 floors.

1, 2, 3 floors. 3rd floor is the cosmos.

So.

Wrong.

What's that? They will be sidewind. Okay. They will be taken to the spiritual world. The Mahesh Dam, Haridham and Golokdam. They are beyond this material world.

We have those on the fourth floor.

We'll have them in the fourth floor.

So just have a full description of Devi Dharma.

At least in that way we would have a full description of Devi Dharma.

And then on the fourth floor I'll tell you how to show you the the Dharms.

And in the fourth floor we'll show you how the three spiritual dharms, the.

10 Mahesh Dham and Hare Dham and Brahma Jyoti.

Maheshitam and Haridham are in the Brahma Jyoti. Between the Maheshita and Haridham is the Brahma Jyoti.

I'm solving impersonalists materializes impersonal Brahma Jyoti.

Some of the impersonalists they realize this impersonal Brahma Jyoti.

And.

The devotee, he wants to go back to Golok.

Going through the Brahma Satik to the High God.

He tried to go to the Brahma Jyoti and hurry down.

Then he starts to merge in the Brahma Jyoti.

There he starts to merge into the Brahma Jyoti.

Then he chants Holy now.

And he chants Govinda.

What did he chant?

Govinda.

He was very voice goinda.

Govinda.

And quickly went to the Hari Ram.

And quickly went to the Hari Ram.

Almost merged.

Almost merged. He was almost merged into the Brahma Jyoti. But he loudly chanted Govinda and he went to Haritam immediately.

Venga as to Mars and Moshe. Individuality.

The danger is to merge and to lose your individuality in the Brahma Jyoti. That's Shiva Prabhu's mantra. Gross body, subtle body or mind and spiritual experience. In the world of the living entities, the realization of the personality of Godhead is noticed. All of the higher living entities can realize the personal identity of the supreme Lord by the very function of the realization that the Lord has given to the humans. The function of the realization of the humans is of three types. First, the senses acquiring knowledge from the gross body. Second, the subtle body or understanding power, power from the mind. And third, the function of the spiritual vision from the spiritual living entities. The eye, ear, nose, tongue and skin are the five sense acquiring knowledge. Five senses of acquiring knowledge. By these senses the external understanding happens. And all are all only material knowledge. By the reflection of the material knowledge from the mind, such as contemplation, remembrance, meditation, remembering without distraction, Dharana and so on, merely material knowledge and a deemed reflection of the spiritual vision happens. Therefore, these two types of the functioning knowledge is material. By these two functions, the spiritual true experience is not possible.

These two types of high knowledge are all material.

These two types of sense acquiring knowledge all material.

And someone might think of life.

What's that Guru much?

I didn't get that somebody thinks something is very spiritual.

Somebody may think that something is very spiritual.

But Vatina Takaar is saying that these things are just a general reflection.

So Bhakti Vinath Thakur is saying that these things are just a dim reflection of the spiritual reality.

They are actually material.

They are actually material.

The sun is unlocked in the navitas. He is society. Stop life, Stop and remove me.

So it's very nice that Bhakti Veena Tako step by step very minutely describing about the personality of Godhead.

How do you understand all this?

So you might be wondering how do you understand what's spiritual?

And that's coming up.

And that's coming up. Okay. Next.

He is explaining what we normally perceive by our senses, which is all material.

So he explains that what we normally perceive through our senses, they are all material.

The hard we realize.

So vision of spiritual. How do we realize the spiritual vision of spiritual and Brahman therefore, without taking shelter of the function of spirit? It is mentioned in Rmad Bhagavatam 11.14.26 Yata Yatatma Priyamri Jayateso Madpunya Gata Shavana. When a diseased eye is treated with medicinal ointment, it gradually recovers its power to see. Similarly, as the conscious living entity cleanses himself of material contamination by hearing and chanting the pious narrations of my glories, he regains his ability to see me, the absolute truth, in my subtle spiritual form.

Going around the nine islands and the Nauru Parios.

So you all were going around the nine islands in the Navadip Parikrama.

Hearing.

About Lord Caitanya, chanting Hare Krishna, hearing the mantra.

This gradually purifies our consciousness.

Gradually purifies the consciousness. The vision of the identity of the Lord. Does those persons who try to see the identity of the Lord by taking shelter of the material knowledge imagine a trance samadhi in the form of visualizing supersoul paramatma. By identifying the Lord as the super soul of the created world. This is done by them only by contemplation, without taking shelter of the limbs of yoga, such as, such as their sitting postures, asana, breathing exercises, pranayama, meditation, fixed remembrance, and so on. Even in these activities, a complete form of transcendental spiritual vision is not obtained. They only gain a fragmented understanding and in the form of negation of material knowledge. Those humans, by more separate thinking than this, imagine a formless, changeless identity of the Lord and think that to be the vision, to be the vision of Brahman, in fact, to be the vision of Brahman, in fact, the vision of Brahman is only a pretension. Therefore, control your speaking, subdue the mind, conquer the life air, regulate the senses through purified intelligence. Bring your rational faculties under control. In this way you will never again fall onto the path of material existence. A transcendentalist who does not completely control his words and mind by superior intelligence will find that his spiritual vows, austerities and charity flow away. Flow away. Just as water flows out of an unbaked clay pot being surrendered to me, one should control the speech, mind and life air. And then through loving devotional intelligence, one will completely fulfill the mission of life.

So we have the bread.

Clay pot. So we have the baked clay pots. And they can hold water. And in the hot season the water becomes very cool. The same clay pot, if it is.

Not baked, this mud. If it's mud.

What's that?

If it is just mud.

If it is just mud, then it can't hold water. Then it can't hold water.

The water leaks out.

The water leaks out.

So if we sometimes somehow have a material idea of ka, if sometimes we.

Have a material idea of Ka, then.

They'Re not able to actually realize him as he is.

Then we are not actually able to realize him as he is.

This like water runs out from an unblaked clay pot.

Just as water runs out from the unbaked clay pot.

You have to take shelter by Krishna and offer him, I'm alive.

So we have to take shelter of Krishna and offer him unalloyed devotional service.

Then once I cross Lord, he said, he should have hundred percent Krishna consciousness.

One time Srila Prabhupada said, you should have hundred percent Ka consciousness.

Some devotees were thinking, hundred percent. That's very taught.

So some devotees were thinking, hundred percent. That's very tough.

Then Prabhupada turned to the audience.

And.

Hey, he went ready to go down the stairs.

And Prabhupada looked at the audience as he was ready to go down the stairs. He said, even 90%.

People relieved.

People were a bit relieved.

But even 90%, that seemed pretty high.

But then even 90% that seemed pretty high.

Then he was going down the stairway.

Then he was going down the stairway of the Asana. Of the asana. Turn to the devotees and turn to the devotees.

Even 80%.

Even 80%.

And then people were more relieved.

People were more relieved.

And then he walked, walking away from the Assam.

And then he was walking away from the Asan. He looked at the devotees, he looked at the devotee and said, Even 70%.

Allah saw our arms.

Shoulder. Then he put his chadar over his shoulder.

And later we were recently when we were installing some of the lotus feet of Lord Chitanya.

Recently we were installing some of the lotus feet, lotus footprints of Lord Caitanya.

I think Jazz was the one who told me that he had heard a similar history of Prabhupada.

I think it's Kevraj Maharaj who told me that he has heard a similar history of Srila Prabhupada.

He had some other story, but he.

Had some other story, some other ending, some other ending.

Prabhupada said, I got a key to the back door, don't worry.

And Prabhupada said, I got the key for the back door, don't worry. Srila Prabhupada the key.

So if we're not able to see the Lord because of our reliance on the material senses.

If we are not able to see the Lord because of our reliance on the material senses.

Remember, he has a key to the back door.

So we should grab the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada and Remember, he has the key to the back doors. Therefore, the Lord told Sanatana Goswami in chaitanya charitamrita madhyala 20.157 gyan yog bhakti tin sadaner brahma atma bhagavan tv prakashe there are three kinds of spiritual processes for understanding the absolute truth, the process of speculative knowledge, Mystic Yoga and Bhakti Yoga. According to these three processes, the absolute truth is manifested as Brahman, Paramatma or Bhagavan. Again he had told in Chaitanya charitamrita Madhya Lila 20.146 Mukhya Gounavritti Kimva Anwai Vyakti Reke Beder Pratikya Kewal koho Krishna Krishna Ki when one accepts the Vedic literature by interpretation or even by dictionary meaning, directly or indirectly, the ultimate declaration of Vedic knowledge points to Lord Krishna.

Somehow, not directly or indirectly. All Vedas are directing us to a large hero.

Somehow or another, whether directly or indirectly, all the Vedas are directing us to Ka.

Three processes in the Vedas There are.

Three processes mentioned in the Vedas. Meditation, Mystic Yoga.

And Bhakti Yoga.

Bhakti Yoga.

And then another verse that says.

There'S another verse which says Krishna Bhakti Nishkam Atayev Shanta.

The sense of the process of further work, the achieving of the impersonal Yoga says that the.

Process of fruitive work achieving of the impersonal Brahman Yoga and the mystic power it make all unpeace one unpeaceful.

Makes everyone satisfied.

Only pure Bhakti Yoga makes everyone satisfied.

Harry Vanderbach and the answer Truth and other forms like Praman Brahmana So today.

Here we learned about the personality of God, Hate and the absolute truth in other forms like Brahman and Paramatma.

We are focused on the personal form of Ka.

Srila Prabhupada's mercy puts us on the personal form of Ka.

That allows us a complete realization.

That's the complete realization. Any questions? Okay. Guruma is going for his dinner now is blessing all of you Krishna material.
