20240815 - The secret of sādhana

Sa.

No using slow.

They can wait. No problem. They can.

Hari.

Hare Krishna, dear devote hearing it. Hare Krishna, dear devotees. Okay, so today we will continue with Shlabakti Vinod Thakurs Chaitanya Sikshamrata. So continuation from yesterday's reading, the secret of Sadhana. We read this just the paragraph below that. So Guru Mahj, we stopped at where the Shah Bhakti Nathakur mentions. When Bhakti grows, knowledge and detachment also grows. So this stops here. So it'll continue with the next part. Yeah, this is already done. One cannot be saved from going astray without Sadhusanga and the mercy of the Guru. The Lord has said, when one is firmly fixed in devotional service, whether he executes one of many processes of devotional service, the waves of love of Godhead will awaken. This is from Sanatan Siksha. Yeah, it is Hearing aid. Oh.

All I heard was.

Okay. The Lord has said, when one is firmly fixed in devotional service, whether he executes one or many processes of devotional service, the waves of love of Godhead will awaken. This is from Sanatan Shiksha.

Unless on devotional service.

So by performing different angas of devotional service.

Here it says that love for Krishna awakens.

Here it says love for Krishna awakens.

I don't know. Everyone has the same.

I don't know whether everyone has the same definition of love for Krishna.

Since they have the right role and is highly Lord Rakrishna.

It seems here it's very liberal in describing love for Krishna.

And if you compare this in a jail world, then it's not difficult.

If you compare this to the material world, then it is not difficult.

Oh, I love this.

People say oh, I love this.

What.

Express.

Our creation of Krishna. You can say I love this. I love Krishna.

When you express your appreciation to Lord Krishna, then you can say I love Krishna. Among the practitioners of one limb, the Lord gives examples of saints like Parikshit, Shuka, Prahlada, Lakshmi, Prithu, Akrura, Hanuman, Arjuna, Bali, etc. The example of King Ambarisha is also mentioned. For the practice of many limbs, one.

Person, he was expert in one area.

So one person, he was expert in 1 area.

So those examples are given.

So those examples are given.

We may be. We may perform all the angas, but.

We may perform all the angas or more than one. More than one here. So.

That is also appreciated.

That's also appreciated.

But if we do one perfectly, that is enough to deliver us.

But if we do one perfectly, that's enough to deliver us. Paramahamsya is not without vidhi Param Hamsya is not without vidhi, without vidhi, vidhi vaidi vidhi. As long as there is lust in the heart during sadhana, there is the dependency on Varnasrama, Dharma and so on. Those who renounce material desire, perform sadhana as per the rules of scriptures, are freed from. Freed from the three deaths. Freed from the three deaths. So debts.

Yeah, all of the three deaths.

Deaths. Saravatmanaya Sharanam, Sharanyam Gato, Mukundam, Parihritya Gatyam. O King, who has given up all material duties and has taken full shelter of the lotus feet of Mukunda, who offers shelter to all, is not indebted to the demigods, great sages or ordinary living beings, relatives, friends, mankind, or even one's forefathers who have passed away. Since all such classes of living entities are part and parcel of the supreme Lord, one has surrendered to the Lord's service, has no need to serve such persons separately serve.

Krishna.

So if you serve Krishna, then autonomy.

All the debts to the other living.

Entities, so automatically all the deaths to other living entities who are all part.

Of Krishna, who are all part of.

Ka, are automatically resolved, are automatically dissolved.

And so we're trying to serve Krishna to settle all the problems.

So we are trying to serve Krishna that would settle all the problems.

On the day we had Pranjat, we had Pranchal Loki.

So today we had Hansa Vahan visiting.

Our campus and we were able to offer.

So we were able to offer him some Abhishek.

Then all day long it was a Thursday.

So previously all day long it was the appearance day of Sri Lalita Sakhi. So I would like to thank Gorangi Gandharvika Devidasi.

She helped all these observations.

Because she helped in all these observations.

I was able to offer some.

And I was offered to I was able to offer some fan to Radha Madhava. So I thought I would mention of.

Course Mayapur is a land of festivals.

Of course we see Mayapur is the land of festival.

And of course we want to see.

Mayapur as the land of festivals. So today we had multiple festivals.

So I'm very grateful for all the devotees to observe these festivities.

So I'm very grateful to all the devotees who observe these festivities. If a person gives up all material desires and completely engages in the transcendental loving service of Krishna as enjoined in the revealed scriptures, he is never indebted to the Demigods sages and forefathers. Sanatan Siksha. I already spoke on this. Okay, so the next thing. When Nishkama Sadhana appears, Vidhidharma is abundant. When Nishkam Sadhana appears, Vidhidharma is abundant. However, they are not inclined to forbidden acts. It is not possible for a pure devotee to commit sins if by chance the the sin is committed in ignorance. Still, karmic atonement is not necessary. One who has thus given up all other engagements and has taken full shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Hari, the supreme personality of Godhead is very dear. Is very dear to the Lord indeed. If such a surrendered soul accidentally commits some sinful activity, the supreme personality of Godhead, who seated within everyone's heart, immediately takes away the reaction of such sins. Reaction to such sin.

Sorry. And sometimes the Lord has asked, what atonement should they do?

So sometimes devotees ask, what atonement should they do?

There's something that's regular.

There's something regular.

It's considered accidental.

Unless something. It's just an accidental fall down.

And one should just continue with the devotional service.

In that case, one should just continue with their devotional service. And.

This is also controlled.

This is also confirmed by the Shastra. Next. We completed the chapter today. Yeah.

I don't see the word the end.

Because you are pure devotee of Krishna. Whatever I desire, it will appear.

So tonight we were supposed to have initiation.

So tonight we were supposed to have initiations.

I had them in the morning, but.

I had them in the morning.

So tonight I had two meetings, but.

So tonight I had two meetings. And then now I'm giving you a class.

Of. What do we got? The President United States have a king of.

So Bhakti Vina Takur states if one Prabhupada says Bhakti Vina Takura Prabhupada says, if one gets the president of President of the United States or the King or Queen of the Queen of England. King and Queen of England. King and Queen of Both says, if one gets the presidents of the President of the United States and King and Queen of England.

Just hang on a minute.

King.

Oh, you got the queen as a Boris.

Okay, maybe. Sorry, sorry, Guru Mas, I got a little bewildered. So Bhakti Vinod Thakur would personally come and take you back to the spiritual world. I was thinking it would be nice if we could achieve this. All right.

So we don't know what happened anyway.
