Oh. But he didn't understand that. He didn't see that. He thought, oh Lord, Chaitanya loves dogs. What's that? Goodness.

Making an exhibit.

Making an exhibit is a critical thing. So we have to put. Put audio, video exhibit wouldn't give out. Prashad. Next time we can give Darshan to devotees and bless them and can finish it here.

Sa Sam's point.

Meditation. The difference between memory and meditation is that in memory the name, mantras, forms, qualities and pastimes are slightly revealed. Revealed. Okay. In meditation, one contemplates deeply on the forms, qualities and pastimes. Holding meditation for a long time is called Dharana and meditation becomes intense. It is called Nidityasana. Therefore, meditation encompasses both Dharana and Nidityasana. It's okay. It's okay. Surrender. Surrender is also a special mental activity. Surrendering to the Lord is abandoning all religion and irreligion is a particular aspect of devotion. As mentioned in the Gita. Sarvadharman Parityacha ma me kam Sharanam braja aham tuam Sarvapa peu moksha Isyami masuchaha Abundant all varieties of religion and just surrender unto me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear. Bhagavad Gita 1866 Devotees following Vaidi bhakti have not yet achieved that high level. It's okay. It's okay. High level of surrender. But their firm conviction is that Lord is their only shelter is considered their form of surrender. They do not rely on karma on Jnana.

Fear the lotus, Take shelter and surrender to the lotus. Feed the Lord church.

So the pure devotees take shelter and surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Krishna.

I don't rely on anything else.

They don't rely on anything else. So taking shelter is a practice of devotees who render devotional service. Okay. Practicing devotional service in relation to matter is of three types. First, cultivation using place as mentioned in RMAD Bhagavatam 7.14 Ata Desham Pravakshami Dharma Dhi Avahan Savaipunyatamo Desha Sapatram Yatrate. Now I shall describe the places where religious performances may be well executed. A place where a Vaishnava is available is an excellent place for all auspicious activities. So wherever Shla Prabhupada went, it's an excellent place for executing religious activities. So you all have to become very dedicated devotees.

So that.

What'S your gurumaj? So every place you go.

Is a place rendering auspicious Activity.

So it becomes a place for rendering auspicious activities. Cultivation using time as mentioned in RMAD Bhagavatam 7.14.24 Taeeite Shayasakkala, Vivardanah, Kuriyat Sarvatpanayteshu, Seyou Mogam Tat Ayushah. All those seasonal times are considered extremely auspicious for humanity. At such times one should perform all auspicious activities. For by such activities a human being attains success in a short duration of life. So the day like Kadashi are days where one get extra benefit.

Oh heartbreak.

Just like the month. Just like the month of Kartik, Damodar, Mag and Baishak. You get a hundred times of the benefit Purushotta month which comes once in three years. That time you get thousand times of the benefit for spiritual activities, for material good karma zero. It's only good for devotional service, nothing else. And also holidays like Janmashtami, Radashtami, Gorpurnema then Narshina, Chaturda, etc. Tomorrow is Gopashtami very auspicious day. So I was supposed to go to the Goshala. They gave the invitation to Mahabharaha.

I asked Hazela if he had asked.

Oh. The devotee who gave me invitation, I asked if he had asked Mahavaraha. He said no. So tomorrow it is scheduled that I'll give initiation and then I give class. So where is the time for Gopashtami? You all can enjoy Gopashtami. Okay, next the last one. Thank you. Cultivation using the recipient as mentioned in the Shrimad Bhagavatam 71434 Patram Tuatra Niruktam vai Kavibi Patra Vita maihi Hari revei ka Urvisha Janmayam vai Characharam O King of Earth. It has been decided by expert learned scholars that only the supreme personality of God had Krishna. It is in whom all that is moving and non moving within this universe is resting and from whom everything is coming is the best person to whom everything must be given.

Krishna giving us everything in this universe.

So Krishna is giving us everything in this universe.

So since he giving everything good to him is the best thing.

So since he's giving us everything, you give to him the best thing. So sometimes when you give things away it will be like sometimes take it with beggar. That's not the way to give something. It should be given to the right person with respect.

Our.

So some people took what Guru Maharaj what feeding. So they come and told us about.

The free feeding and I said our children were stuck.

They said I was treated with respect. It was very nice. How are they supposed to understand? Oh, sorry, Guru Maharaj. I really couldn't get it. You complained to me.

So at the end of our life, Hare Yogana Krishna, that's the thing that on our favor.

So at the end of life, what we haven't, we have given to Krishna. That would be the thing that go in our favor. Go in our favor. So the thing that we give to other people, unless it pleases Krishna, it don't favor us. It doesn't favour us. So I'll see you tomorrow.

Things are said by Bhakti Nath Thakur.

Many things are said by Bhaktived Thakur. So actually these are the teachings of Lord Caitanya handed down through the disciplic succession. So very nice to see many devotees. We'll see you tomorrow, Hare Krishna. Blessings Dipti Mai Dhanjan. Guru Mahj is blessing you, those devotees who are taking initiation tomorrow.
