Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shiksha Amrita. Today we will continue with our reading and today's subtitle is entitled as Transformation of various Energies. Basically it's a continuation from yesterday as stated in the instruction to Sanatana Goswami Shri Chaitanya Chaitamrita. Can't you hear me? Can you hear me right now? Okay, okay. Continuation from yesterday's subtopic transformation of various energies Shakti Parina as stated in the instruction to Sanatan Goswam Gurmaj. Can you hear me? Yeah. As stated in the instruction to Sanatana Goswami which is mentioned in Sri Chaitanya charitamrita Madhya Leela 20.257 Jakta PI Ashrajanitya Chichakti Bilash Tatapi Shankarshan Ichai Tahar Prakash. Although there is no question of creation as far as the spiritual world is concerned, the spiritual world is nonetheless manifested by the supreme will of Shankarshana. The spiritual world is the abode of the pastimes of the eternal spiritual energy. Another name of the shadow potency is material nature about which it is stated. Mayadwari Shri Jay Te Ho Brahman Der Gaan Jadarupa Prakriti Nahe Brahmanda Karan. By the agency of the material energy, this same Lord Shankarshana creates all the universes. The dull material energy known in the modern language as nature is not the cause of the material universe. Without the supreme personality of God hates energy, dull matter cannot create the cosmic manifestation. Its power does not arise from the material energy itself but is endowed by Shankarshana. Dull matter alone cannot create anything. Actually somebody have to switch off both the slides. Otherwise difficult for him to read for Guru Maharaj because of the cleric. Okay. Anyway let's. Okay. The material energy. Material energy produces the creation by the power of the supreme personality of Godhead. Iron itself has no power to burn. But when iron is placed in fire, it's empowered to burn. You can't hear me? Okay. Dull matter alone cannot create anything. The material energy produces the creation by the power of the supreme personality of God. Hate. Iron itself has no power to burn. But when iron is. Yeah, okay, okay. But when iron is placed in fire, it is empowered to burn. 20.259 to 269. 61. It is mentioned the name of Krishna's Kriya Shakti Creative energy is Shankarshana Shakti. The temporary transformation of Maya Shakti is the material world. Something which will be clear about the Tatashta or Jiva Shakti, the living entity Potency. In the fourth stream.
The spiritual energy has manifest, never destroyed.
So the spiritual energy is manifest but never destroyed.
Balaram.
So Balaram, he manifests the Haridam and Gulukdam. But in the. But in the material world there is creation, maintenance and destruction.
So Lord Krishna does this through his energies.
Lord Krishna does this through. Through its different energies.
On this material world. With all this.
Created and annihilated, fantastic Asians destroy it. So in this way the material world's fantastic creation is manifested for some time and destroyed at some time.
So you are discussion and.
Museum of Vedi Planetarium. So we were discussing in the TOVP meeting how they.
Cells are so complicated.
How these cells are so compl. Cells.
Just come about accidentally.
So it's not possible for this complicated cell to come about accidentally. And also.
This matter will somehow produce consciousness and life.
And matter somehow produces consciousness and life is also not possible.
That's also not.
That's also not possible. So we were discussing these things today. Next. Just. Just one minute. Guru Maharaj. Are you feeling tired? No, no. I'm just asking. So next. Subtopic Rasatatwa. Krishna himself is Rasatatva. Tata is said in the Vedas. In the seventh shower, first stream, the Rasa Tattva which will be discussed, which is the tattva of Rasa will be experienced. The word is material. So whatever the word says, even if it is very carefully said, will rise as material or as if material. If the reader is truly faithful, then the transcendental Rasa will arise in his pure consciousness. It happens as the result of good association and fortune. It does not arise if arguments are presented due to bad association. The material Rasa will make the inquisitive to fall down in the form of Sahajaism. Special care should be taken to fill Rasa Tattva. Krishna himself is the unlimited Rasa with 64 transcendental qualities. These are the transcendental qualities of Lorshi Krishna. Krishna, the supreme hero has the most beautiful transcendental body. This body possesses all good features. It is radiant and very pleasing to the eyes. His body is powerful, strong, youthful. Krishna is the linguist of all wonderful languages. He is a truthful and very pleasing speaker. He is expert in speaking and he is very wise, learned scholar and a genius. Krishna is very expert in artistic enjoyment. He is highly cunning, expert, grateful and firmly determined in his vows. Vows. He knows how to deal according to time, person, country and he sees through, sees through the scriptures and scroll up please. And authoritative books is very clean and self controlled. Lord Krishna is steady, his senses are controlled and he is forgiving, grave and calm. He is also equal to all. Moreover, he is magnanimous, religious, chivalrous and kind, is always respectful to respectable people. Krishna is very simple and liberal, is humble and bashful and he is the protector of the surrendered souls. He is very happy and he is always the well wisher of his devotees. He is all auspicious and he is submissive to love. Krishna is very influential and famous and he is the object of attachment for everyone. He is the shelter of the good and virtuous. He is attractive to the minds of women and he is worshipped by everyone. He is very, very rich. Krishna is the supreme and he is always glorified as the supreme Lord and controller. Thus, all the previously mentioned transcendental qualities are in him. The 50 qualities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead mentioned above are as deep as as an ocean. In other words, they are difficult to fully comprehend. These qualities are sometimes very minutely exhibited in living beings, but they are fully manifest in the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna. Apart from these 50 qualities, there are other qualities found 5 other qualities found in the Supreme Personality of Godhead that are partially present in demigods like Lord shiva. These qualities 1 the Lord is always situated in his original position 2 is omniscient, 3 is always fresh and youthful 4 is the concentrated form of eternity, knowledge and bliss and five he is the possessor of all mystic perfection. There are another five qualities which exist in the Vaikuntha planets in Narayana, the Lord of Lakshmi. These qualities are also present in Lord Krishna, but they are not present in demigods like Shiva or other in other living entities. These are first 1. The Lord possesses inconceivable supreme power 2. He generates innumerable universes from his body 3. He is the original source of all incarnations 4. He bestows salvation upon enemies he kills. He bestows salvation upon the enemies he kills. Okay, where did I start? And fifth, he has the ability to attract he has the ability to attract exalted persons who are satisfied in themselves. Although these qualities are present in Narayana, the dominating deity of the Vaikuntha planets, they are even more wonderfully present in Lord Sri Krishna. Apart from this 60 transcendental qualities, Krishna has an additional 4 transcendental qualities which are not manifested even in the personality of Narayana. These are Krishna is like an ocean filled with waves of pastimes that evoke wonder within everyone in the three worlds. 2. In his activities of conjugal love he is always surrounded by his dear devotees who possess unequaled love for him. Okay. 3. He attracts the mind of all three worlds with the melodious vibration of his flute. 4. His personal beauty and opulence are beyond compare. No one is equal to him and no one is greater than him. Thus the personality of Godhead astonishes all living entities both moving and non moving within the three worlds. Within the three worlds is so beautiful that.
Harsha secret.
That's a secret open secret Above Krishna. He's so beautiful that he is called Krishna above Narayana. Krishna has four specific transcendental qualities. He is wonderful pastimes and abundance of wonderful associates who are very dear to him like the Gopis. His wonderful beauty and the wonderful vibration of his flute. Lord Krishna is more exalted than ordinary living beings and demigods like Lord Shiva. That. So here we have the glories of Lord Krishna.
He had the father of Hazra. He had studied his glories.
So we heard the father of Vyasadev. The father of Vyasadev. He has studied the glories of the Lord. Stop.
50 qualities and minute quantity.
So 50 qualities with minute quantity is with Lord Brahma and 4 qualities more are with Lord Shiva.
5.
I mean 5 qualities with Lord Shiva.
5.
More with Hyanna and 5 more with Narayana.
And other sisters.
That adds up to 60.
Krishna has a Starza four qualities more.
But Krishna has special four qualities more.
Which are Krishna Das secret hidden right.
Which was explained. Krishna has four more qualities which was explained by Gopati Krishna Das in his hidden mic. Secret hidden mic.
So my mic is not.
My mic is not secret or hidden. It's very big like your heart. Shila. Guru Maharaj. He's even more exalted than his personal expansion. Narayana. In all, the supreme personality of Godhead has 64 transcendental qualities in full. Out of those 64 qualities, 50 exist in minute quantities as drops in living entities. These 50 qualities are seen more in quantity and five more qualities in Lord Shiva, Brahma, Ganesha, Surya and so on. Therefore, even though. Even though they are separated expansions Vibhinamsha they are designated by the name Ishvara. These 55 qualities are seen in full form and five more qualities are also seen in full form in Narayana Vishnu and his incarnations. The 60 qualities of Vishnu, Tattva and four more supremely transcendental extraordinary qualities are present in Krishna. Therefore, Krishna is the only supreme controller all powerful the reservoir of mellows Rasa. Whatever varieties of swaroop Shakti, Krishna's personal energy are present, all of them are instruments in the mellows of Shanta, Dasya, Vatsalya, Sakya and Madhura. Shrimati. Radharani is the essence of Hladini. Pleasure potency is the chief of all. Even though this Rasa resides eternally in Goloka Braj by the desire of Krishna Jogmaya Chit Shakti. Shakti, the internal spiritual potency of the Lord manifests that Rasa in complete form in Bhavma Vaja Vrindavandam on this planet. Those whose intelligence has been has not gained the power to transcend the material nature will not be able to meamham, comprehend or experience the immense Rasatatva. Therefore they will neglect the Vajrasa as material. Therefore, Rmad Bhagavata has said that those who faithfully recite or listen to the mellow of Braj only they will soon attain attain loving devotional service and freedom from the heart disease rising from material nature. This is the ultimate teaching of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
So in the class this morning I'm mentioning how we have to take shelter how Mahabharu.
