And Krishna came in the Chandra dynasty.

So they try to give their mercy to everybody.

So they try to give their mercy to everybody. Even a slight performance of these five awakens love for Krishna.

Warm. Even a little holiday servants or road workers might be arriving.

If we perform in these holidays even a little service, our love for Krishna will be awakened. Okay. Okay. Classification of the limbs. Amongst the 64 limbs of devotional service, the 9 process beginning with hearing are the main and others are their assistants. The first 10 limbs are similar to the entrance door. After that, the 10 limbs are rejection of unfavorable to bhakti and acceptance of favorable to bhakti. Among them, acts related to datri tree, Ashwatha tree, the cow. The Brahmana are special social duty. They too are favorable to bhakti. At first, as Sadhana matures, only the last five limbs out of the 64 limbs are to be specially observed.

So usually one follows all the rules and regulations.

So usually one follows the rules and regulations.

One gets more spontaneous, then the last five become more prominent.

As one gets more spontaneous, the last five becomes more prominent. Okay. The secret of Sadhana. So can I read that, Guru Maharaj? So can I read that, Guru Maharaj? Can I read the secret?

Yeah, read it quietly.

Okay, I'll read it quietly. Okay, little louder. There's a secret to the observance of Sadhana. There's a secret to the observance of Sadhana. Transcendental knowledge, devotion and detachment. In other things, these three increases equally. Where there is an exception to it, it must be known that there is a fault in the root of the practice.

So Azran, one of the secrets is that as you are doing devotional service while you are doing the chanting.

So one of the secrets as you are doing devotional service as you are doing the chanting.

Three things.

Three things. Transcendental knowledge, devotion and detachment. In other things increases equally. Transcendental knowledge, devotion and detachment. Detachment in other things. These three increases increase equally.

Detachment means not detached from Ka.

Detachment means not detachment from Krishna.

Detached from other material things.

Detachment with other material things. Knowledge. Transcendental knowledge. So we read the RMAD Bhagavatam, Chaitanya Charitamrita and etc. Gita.

We want to get.

We want to get knowledge.

So we're not just sending on the list. We back everything up with knowledge.

We are not sentimentalists. We back everything up with knowledge. Devotion. Third one.

Yeah. So how the joints us access is our doors.

So we are doing these practices of devotional service.

Devotion to Ka increases.

Your devotion to Ka increases.

It increases more and more.

It increases more and more.

So I want to get this devotion.

As one gets this devotion.

Gradually.

Gradually. Sorry. Naturally, as mentioned in Shimad Bhagavatam 11.2-point 42 Bhaktif Parishanu Bhavo. Viraktiranyatrachaishatyamanasan. There's no translation. Just search in Veda Vest. Just in the Veda. It's there. It's there. It's there. Some. Some error in the editing.

One should not make artificial shown of renunciation.

So these things are not increasing. What must be a hope and the root of our righteousness.

So if these three things are not increasing, then there must be a fault in the root of our practice. Okay, Gurmaj, this is the translation. Devotion, direct experience of the supreme lot and detachment from other things. These three occur simultaneously for one who has taken shelter of the supreme personality of Godhead. In the same way, the pleasure, nourishment and relief from hunger come simultaneously and increasingly with each bite. For a person engaged in eating knowledge. Oh, when you eat.

Okay, just this is something you can relate with.

Especially me. Okay. The same way. Nourishment, relief from hunger. Pleasure. Pleasure, nourishment and relief from hunger.

How I eat? We get our relief from hunger.

As we eat, we get relief from our hunger.

We get nourishment.

We get nourishment. Pleasure. If the cook is good, then you'll get pleasure. Right?

Guru, the first time we gave bitter melon and the kids first time when.

We gave bitter melon in the kitchen.

Gift in the God Purnima this is bitter.

And they were saying oh, what is this? This is bitter.

I thought the cook was in Maya.

They thought the cook must be in Maya.

The taste of cooking.

And.

Whether his heart is a very rice.

So wonders. Actually one who has taste in cooking and if they know it, they Bitter is a nice thing.

We don't take bitter at night.

We don't take bitter at night. We'll serve you some sweet blessings. Tomorrow is Shrimati Ralita Devi's appearance day.

She's older than Ra.

She's older than Radharani. Few weeks. Few weeks earlier to Shrimati Radharani. So since Lalita is expert at composing riddles, right? Okay. Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, tomorrow the 15th of August, Lalitha Saki's appearance day. There will be a nice program held in the temple. From 4 to 6pm Chotaradha Madhava will come down on the platform where we'll have the opportunity to personally fan them and offer flowers. There will be kirtan glorification and a drama. Since Lalitha Devi is expert at juggling and composing riddles, there will be also a juggling act and Krishna conscious riddles. If you would like to compose a riddle, please bring a printout to the program. You may also design your own fan and personally offer to Sri Sri Radha Madhava.

What's the example of a river? What's the example of a river?

I can give one. Let's ask Chatgpt.

In the garden of love where the secret play dangled Treasures that sparkle like the milky way. The whisper secret of divine delight and sway gently in the moonlight night. They frame her face with a shimmering grace. Appears of stars in celestial embrace. What are these jewels that sing without sound Adorning the queen where the potion is found.

So Gurmain, this is an example of a riddle. I mean, you are expert at that. But anyway, I'll just read one for you. In the garden of love where the sacred play dangle Treasures that sparkle like the Milky way. They whisper secrets of divine delight and they sway gently in the moonlit night. They frame her face with a shimmering grace. A pair of stars in a celestial embrace. What are these jewels that sing without sound? Adorning the queen of Raja where devotion is found.

Mother, I sent him this chat on the right Jack.

Okay.

I said I thought that the mic's not working.

That was yesterday, Guru Maharaj.

Yesterday. I'm saying that we have to read. The thing is that it's time roll Some are my riders.

Okay. Also Hamsa Wahan would be visiting the ISKCON campus at 10:45. Yeah. So Lalita Saki's appearance day. So I think you all would love to attend Mangalati tomorrow, right? To get Lalita Sakhi's mercy. So you have to go and sleep early as well for that. Okay. Hare Krishna, thank you very much for coming. Gurumesh, we got a question now. Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj, please accept my respectful obeisances. Given the increase of demoniac activities in Kali Yuga, how often we should go out on Harinam Sanketan?

As much as possible.

As much as possible. Harinam Sanket and Ki. Okay. Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj, please accept my respectful obeisances. Okay. Accept it. How to distinguish? How to distinguish? There's a subtle difference between sin and offence. Ananta Leela Harikanta Devi Dasi.

A sin is something against regulative principles.

A sin is something against the regulatory principles.

And not telling a lie.

Like telling, telling a lie, stealing and so many things.

Those things counteracted dishonest hinds close to us.

Those things can be counteracted to some extent by false worship. If you don't commit the seventh offense.

All I call I'll do this sin and then I'll chant. It's like then I'll do this.

Okay, this is where somebody says I'll do the sin. Then I'll chant and then I'll do the sin. Then I chant to counteract the sin.

As we're planning the dose the activity if you are planning to eradicate it.

So if you are planning to commit a sinful activity and then planning to.

Eradicate it, the eradication won't work.

The eradication would not work because you are doing it. Because you are doing it intentionally.

An offense sounding when firsthand.

But an offense is something in connection with Krishna O Vaishnavas.

10 offenses.

Chanting the holy name like 10 offenses to chanting the holy name to the chanting of the holy.

Is not as easy to get rid of offenses.

So it's not too easy to get rid of the offenses.

One asks have a change of heart.

One has to have a change of heart. Okay. Last Gurmaj is the last question from. This is a question from Jaypathaka Swami Tamil. Okay. From me no gurmails. I think somebody might have asked it in Tamil and they have translated that and just pasted over. Okay. So much opulence in Vaikuntha. Similar of opulence is shining. Is of shining Vaja also. Are these jewels are also in navadvp. What are these nine jewels? Nine. I don't know where they get this nine from but that's there in the question.

Navadvip has nine islands.

In Navadvip there is nine islands.

Each island is connected to the line of the devotional service.

Each island is connected with one of the devotional service. One of the diverse hall.

This Navar did designed by Radharani.

This Navadvip is designed by Radharani. Ascending devotional service is establishing devotional service.
