20240808 - vaidhi sādhana bhakti and rāgānuga sādhana bhakti

Hare Krishna. Dear devotees.

Hare Krishna. I like that.

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 Raga Nuga Sadhana bhakti. The Lord has said Ethosadhana Bhakti, Duita Prokar Eka Vaidi Bhakti. Raganuga Bhakti R. Rakhin Jana Bajay Shastre Ragyai Akyay Vaidi Bhakti Boli Tare Sarva Shastre 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 Vaidipatti. This is a quotation from Sri Chaitanya charitamrita Madhyala chapter 22, verse number 109 and 110 from Sanatana Siksha. I just read a quote from Chaitan Charitamrita which Bhakti Nutakur is quoting. Go further. Would you like to comment anything about this verse? Anything on this?

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

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

They told the son that all they're talking straight to him and getting 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 pulled their son by the feet.

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 pants.

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.

He is very attached and Prabhupada said.

He is very attached to do devotional service.

I visited running along the hospital.

So I visited in Bangalore a hospital.

And two nurses, Christian nurses.

And two Christian nurses.

And then I said that in the Bible they 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 have.

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

In the Bible, very little information about God of honor.

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

I tell them that I have the way in the Christian consciousness how the opportunity know a lot about the Supreme Rosen Ali.

And so I told her that I told them. In Krishna consciousness we have lots of opportunity to know about the supreme personality of Godhead.

They were.

Amazed and they were amazed.

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

When they think about it, they know a lot about Jesus, but they know practically nothing about God. Father, supreme personality of Godhead. So in this gradually we practice Vaidi bhakti.

After a while we become very spontaneous.

Then after a while we become very spontaneous. So we switch from Vaidi bhakti to Raganuga bhakti.

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

So we devotees, we don't dislike any of the religions. The.

Ka 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.

I mean, even a lot. Small.

I mean even a lot. It's just a small amount.

Yes. All right.

Krishna is so great. So.

You start out with writing a day.

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 condition living entity has great or you want to continue reading? Okay, okay, okay. 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 Krishna. 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 and acquires the stage of Nishta, Ruchi, Asakti and Bhava. Then Vidhi also takes a wonderful form. Then the sadhaka can understand that Krishna 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 we should never forget Krishna.

How we should never forget Krishna and.

How we should always remember Krishna.

And how we should always remember Krishna.

His are the true roles.

These are the two rules. So.

Remember.

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

Not like this. Krishna is not sought and tried to.

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

When the Lord is become spontaneous lovers of Krishna.

When the devotees become spontaneous lovers of Ka.

This is like the Lakhti and the and the land of Vrindavan.

This is like the Bhakti in the land of Vrindavan.

This is very attractive.

This is very attractive to Lord Krishna. Wow.

So as we advance Krishna consciousness like all this single Krishna.

So as we advance in Krishna consciousness, we always like to think of Krishna. Shall I continue reading? As quoted as mentioned in the Shastra Padmapurana, 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're in Navadip.

So here we are in Navadvip.

This dam. This dam is also the.

It's also the special Dharm of Radharani. 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.

Experience what the Lord feels for him.

To experience what the devotee feels for him.

At the same time, I want to allow you all us to experience.

Allah, Krishna at the same time. He want all of us, all of you to experience love of Krishna.

He experienced strange bliss because Lord Krishna.

He experienced the supreme bliss.

Jesus, supreme person.

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

But loving him because it's opulence.

They're worshiping him because of his opulence, his power, his beauty etc.

So this is all right.

This is all right. This is all right for Vaikuntha. In Goloka he.

Likes the Lord is all right looking on us masters.

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 that. 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.

Gratiates. They don't love him because He's a supreme person. That's a side thing.

So they don't love him because he's 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 go and call you God at this time. The long hookers.

So like these people in the Kali Yuga at this time they can get love of Krishna by the mercy of Lord Chaitanya. Continue Tomorrow the next is it's another quotations from Srimad Bhagavata further expands on that subject matter. 8:30 Right now.
