20240801 - Praṇava is the mahāvākya

Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita of Shav Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur. Okay. Pranava is the Mahavakya. The conclusion of this principal transcendental sound vibration from Lord Chaitanya is that the Pranava Omkara is the secret sacred name of Krishna, the original seed of the Vedas and the transcendental sound in all Vedas. Pranava is formed by Pra + Nu to Praise + N. Omkara is the Avatara in the form of sound of Parabrahman who is to be glorified. From Omkara all Vedas have arisen. In fact, Pranava is the seat of the Vedas and all of other portions of the Vedas are specifically subsidiary statements. The propounder of Mayavada, Shri Shankaracharya Swami has covered the principal statement of Pranava and established the four subsidiary Vedic statements. Aham Brahmasmi, I am Brahman. Prajnanam Brahma. Cognizance is Brahman Tattvamasi. You are that Ekam Eva Dityam. Only one without a second as the principal statement. Oh, okay. Boo. Boo, boo. Booing at Shankaracharya.

Sumeda Mataji from Punjab. Guruma is blessing you. Krishna. I thought the class was over. Okay, okay, okay. We'll do one more paragraph. Impersonalism and personalism.

I want personalism.

I want personalism. Okay. It has been accepted in the Mayavada that both the illusory state of the conditioned souls and the controlling power of Brahman is merely due to illusion. Brahmanirvana or separation of Maya is the liberation of the soul. In this Mayavada theory, the pure relationship of the living entity with Parab Brahman is made hidden. Is made hidden. The complete purport of the Vedas is not considered. Therefore, Shri Madvacharya Swami, accepting some statements of the Shruti as established Dvaita Vada. Even that because there was no complete consideration of the Vedas, the knowledge of relationship is not blossomed. Sripadramanujacharya also did not show the cheerfulness cheerfulness of knowledge of relationship in Vishishta Advaita Vada. Dvaita Advaita Vadi Srima Nimbaditya Swami Also has also what is this also has propagated some of incompleteness. Srimad Vishnu Swami also left some ambiguity in his Shuddha Advaita opinion. Achintya Veda Veda or transformation of energy is the opinion of Brahma Sutra. In order to establish the eternity of Premadharma, Mahprabhu taught the pure complete teachings about the knowledge of the relationship through Achintya Veda Veda Tattva and delivered the world from the darkness in the form of argumentativeness. Mahprabhu says the only Mahavakya is Pranava. The meaning in its the meaning in its clear Upanishads of it is clear in Upanishad. What the Upanishads teach is completely approved by Vyasadeva in Vedanta Sutra. The commentary of Vedanta Sutra is Srimad Bhagavatam. The first sutra Janma Tiyata teaches that principle of transformation Parinama is the truth. The same teaching is given in the Vedic mantra Yatova Imani Bhutani Jayante. In the Bhagavatam also that meaning is confirmed. Apprehending that by the theory of the transformation of energy Brahman becomes transformed. Shankaracharya established Vibhartavat theory of illusion. This Bhivartavat is the root of all faults. However, transformation of energy of the Lord is pure truth approved by all scriptures. If eternality, eternality of the supreme Lord's energy is not accepted, then the Parinam Vaat then in Parinamva there's a great defect of the Lord's illusion and transformation. But if the eternal natural superior energy of the Lord is accepted, then there remains no fault. The truth is that by the wonderful transformation of energy the universe has come about. Brahman is not transformed. The result of transformation of the energy of Brahman is the material cosmic manifestation and the world for the living entities. From the example that the Lord has given a touchstone by which its energy turns iron into gold yet remains same, it appears clearly that Krishna's energy has made all creation. But nevertheless Krishna is not transformed. Nevertheless, Krishna is not transformed by that Krishna is transformed by that.

Krishna is not transformed. He's not transformed. If you understand the Siddhanta, you can make a point.

Everything is the transformation of energy by full transformation of spiritual potency Chit Shakti the spiritual abodes such as Vaikuntha name form qualities, pastimes and scriptural spiritual particles live of living entities atomic in size. By transformation of the illusory potency Maya Shakti Is the whole material world and gross subtle bodies of the living entities. The 14 planetary systems are to be understood when the material world is mentioned. This Parinam Vaat is found everywhere in the Vedanta Sutra and Upanishad. The gradual transformation evolving into Mahat Mahat. Tattva Ahankara, Ether, Fire, air, water, earth is Parinabat.

So Lord Krishna doesn't change.

So Lord Krishna, he doesn't change.

Krishna's energies change.

Krishna's energies change.

All universes are made by the Maya.

Shakti in this way. The whole universe is made by the Maya Shakti.

The spiritual world is manifested by the Chit Shakti.

The spiritual world is manifested by the Chit Shakti. So Krishna's spiritual world is Sat Chit.

Ananda, material world and Nonhusadas.

The material world is manifested by his Maya Shakti.

So Maya Shakti has three manifestations.

So the Maya Shakti has three manifestations. Raja and Chahva. Raja sent Tamas.

So we really understand identify with Krishna.

When we fully understand this and identify ourselves with Krishna then we go back to the spiritual world. Guru Maharaj's voice is not so good today. So now would you like to continue with the Darshan Guru Maharaj? Okay. I don't know. Who's Balaji Prasad?
