Hari Otsa Hare Krishna dear devotees.

Hare Krishna dear. I like that every day.

Thank you so much. So today we'll be continuing from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita or Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur. So which one? Okay. This Sadhana bhakti is of two types. Vaidi Sadhana Bhakti and Raganuga Sadhana Bhakti. The Lord has said ETO Sadhana bhakti. Duita Prokar eka Vaidi bhakti. Raganuga Bhakti are Rakhin Jana Bajay Shastre Agyai Vaidi Bhakti Boli Tare Sarva Shastri Gaia. There are two processes of practical devotional service. One is regulative devotional service and the other is spontaneous devotional service. Those who have not attained the platform of spontaneous attachment in devotional service render devotional service under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master according to the regulatory principles mentioned in the revealed scriptures. According to the revealed scripture, this kind of devotional service is called Vaidi Bhakti. This is a quotation from Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita Madhya Leela chapter 22, verse number 109 and 110 from Sanatana Siksha. I just read a quote from Chaitan Charitamrita which Bhakti Nutakur is quoting. Would you like to comment anything about this verse?

I remember how two hands came to the temple in Montreal.

So I remember how two parents came to the temple in Montreal.

They found us son say to him and get near the door.

So they were talking sweet to him near the door.

Then suddenly they got very aggressive.

And then suddenly they became very aggressive.

And they called the sunrise.

And they pulled their son by the feet.

And he was holding on the doorway.

And he was holding on the doorway.

On the doorknob.

On the doorknob.

Prabhupada saw his feet were pulled by his parents.

Prabhupada saw his feet was pulled by his parents.

And he was holding the doorway, pulling.

The door knob out and he was holding the doorknob.

Prabhupada said he's very attached and Prabhupada.

Said he's very attached to devotional service to do devotional service.

Randall Hospital.

So I visited in Bangalore.

A hospital and two nurses, Christian nurses.

And two Christian nurses.

I said that in the Bible tell a lot about Jesus so I met.

Two Christian nurses and I told them in the Bible they tell a lot about Jesus what.

Jesus had.

So he has said in his ten Commandments the first commandment is to love God.

And revival Very little information about God the.

Father but in the Bible there is very little information about God about the Father.

I don't know that I have the way in the Krishna consciousness How the opportunity to know a lot about the supreme personality and all that.

So I told her that I told them in Krishna consciousness we have lots of opportunity to know about the supreme personality of Godhead and they were amazed.

They were thinking about it and they knew a lot about Jesus. Practically nothing about strange personality.

When they think about it they know a lot about Jesus but they know practically nothing about God Father supreme personality of Godhead.

Practice Vaidhi Vakti so in.

This gradually we practice Vaidi bhakti.

After a while we become very spontaneous.

Then after a while we become very spontaneous.

So he swats.

So we switch from Vaidhi bhakti to Raganuga bhakti.

And devotees we don't dislike any of the religions.

We devotees we don't dislike any of the religions.

What the plan is that in Krishna consciousness we know a lot about a supreme personality.

But the point is that in Ka consciousness we know a lot about the supreme personality of Godhead.

Even a lot. Just a small amount.

I mean even a lot is just a small amount.

Krishna is so great.

Krishna is so great.

So.

By the mercy of God we start out with Vaidavakti.

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada we can start up with Vaidi bhakti. Then we'll become attached to Krishna and then we enter into Raganuga bhakti Hare Krishna. When the conditioned living entity has great affection for the objects other than Krishna it seems as if the living entity does not have attachment for Ka Then the living entity desiring auspiciousness only performs Krishna Bhajan according to the instructions of the scriptures this Bhajan is Vaidha Bhajan. His primary auspiciousness arises in considering the precepts of the scriptures as rules and performs activity observing all the prohibitions and rules. Faith in the words of the scripture is the motivation behind this. That faith is at first soft and then firm Madhyama and Ultimately becoming deep Uttama results in perfection. When becoming deep, this faith through Bhajan in the association of Sadhu acquires the stage of Nishta, Ruchi, Asakti and Bhava. Then Vidhi also takes a wonderful form. Then the Sadhaka can understand that Ka alone is always to be remembered and that he should never be forgotten. That rules and prohibitions are servants of these two main rules and prohibition.

So how is the other forgot Tristram?

How we should never forget Krishna and.

How we should always remember Krishna and.

How we should always remember Krishna.

These are the two rules.

These are the two rules.

So we are.

So we are remembering Krishna following the regular principles and following the regulative principles.

Not like this. Krishna is not so attracted by the law highways on.

We should remember Krishna is not so attracted by this Vaidi Bhakti.

When the Lord is homogeneous lovers of Ka.

When the devotees become spontaneous lovers of.

Krishna, this is like they like the and the in the land of Vrindavan.

This is like the Bhakti in the land of Vrindavan.

This is a very attractive to.

This is very attractive to Lord Krishna. Wow.

Ka consciousness, right? Always think of Krishna.

So as we advance in Ka consciousness, we always like to think of Krishna. Shall I continue reading? As quoted as mentioned in the Shastra, Padma Purana, Smartavya Satatam Vishnu Vismar Tavyo Na Jaatuchit Sarvevidi ni she Dahashur Etayoreva King Karaha. Krishna should always be remembered and never forgotten at any time. All the rules and prohibitions mentioned in the shastras should be the servants of these two principles.

So here we are in Navadvip.

So here we are in Navadvip.

This Dharm, this dam is also the special Dharm of Radharani.

It's also the special Dharm of Radharani.

Krishna. Radha region and Krishna came as Lord Chaitanya.

Krishna and Radharani combined and they came as Lord Chaitanya.

So he wanted to come as a devotee.

So he wanted to become as a devotee.

I experience what the Lord feels for him.

To experience what the devotee feels for Him.

As a Zion, I wanted all you, all us.

At the same time. He want all of us, all of you to experience love of Krishna. Because Lord Krishna, he experienced the supreme bliss.

Because he's the supreme person.

Normally people worship Krishna because he's the supreme person.

But loving him because it's all reliance.

They are worshipping him because of his opulence, his power, his beauty etcetera.

This is all right.

This is all right. This is all right for Vaikuntha. In Golokahi.

Masters and.

So in Goloka he likes the devotees who relates with him. In Goloka, he likes the devotees to relate with him as masters, as friends, as parents and as conjugal lovers.

So he does it. That really gives him happiness.

That really gives him happiness.

And he tries to reciprocate each devotee.

And he tries to reciprocate with each devotee.

So.

He.

Appreciates. They don't love him because he's the same person. That's a side thing.

So they don't love him because he is the supreme person. That's the side thing.

I love him because who he is all he is.

They love him because of who he is, because of how he is.

So I just call you up at this time.

So like these people in the Kali Yuga at this time they can get love of Krishna by the mercy of Lord Caitanya.
