One more thing.

If you do not hear your name correctly. Okay.

This Prabhuji.

If you do not hear your name correctly. Do not worry. We have the list of your names. You conduct, you contact your leader. You'll get your. Yeah. We want to chant Guru Mah Prana Mantra now or after Guru Maharaj comes everything now we can do now. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yes, bro.

Yes, we can do now.

Sam.

The passenger.

Custom.

So how many of you heard the lecture on? Everybody understood. Language was not a problem. How many of you want to betray you? We here every day those who stay in the temple after we always remember this 10 offenses and try to avoid. You have to remember not to commit the two to avoid. Why to avoid? Because if you chant avoiding get offenses, they will get lot of poet. But if you chant comedic offenses, then you get. So how many of you want? How many of you want? They said that time.

Why.

Has a.

Potency to meet Krishna.

It's good to have.

But superior to that is one is Japa. Japa means chanting for our own hearing. That is the Japa. And when you chant loudly, Japa becomes Kirtan. And when we do kirtan together with many devotees, that becomes Sankirta. Now what is the Jukadharma? Jutadharma is Harinam Sankirta Sakira. So Shankirtan is the most powerful to cross it in this age of Kali.

Why?

Because we chant without offenses. Then very quickly you can get love of God. But if you chant with open sense, Even if you chant for millions of lifetimes, you will not get love of God. So hope was a better to get it in this life more so many of you are not get get love of God. And now in this life, okay. If you share the Holy name once purely you get love of God. That is the power of the holy. So today how many of you are taking rea of g First initiation, close balance first initiation. Okay, how many of you? You are taking a guide one for secondary initiative. So what is the meaning of initiation? That is the message. Initiation is nothing external. We are doing so many ceremonies here. But the essence is to surrender to guru language. That is the why? Why you have to surrender? Questions will be so Krishna said.

How.

Many of you have anxiety? So those who are honest ability theory resigned. Unless you become a pure demodiator. Except your demonic and those who are in moral ignorance. Apart from these two, everybody has anxiety. And what is the cause of anxiety? Lack of surrender. So anxiety and bliss cannot go together. While you are not experiencing the bliss of Krishna. Go on the snake. Because we are having anxiety. And why we are having anxiety? Because we are not surrendered completely to the social personality of God. What is the meaning of surrender? I wish I am surrendered. You will say I was a surrender. Surrender means what Ursula did after speaking Bhagavad Gita. Krishna told Parasudra, now you can do whatever you want to do. I spoke everything our children did not respect. Thank you very much. I do develop that is the meaning of surrender. Surrender Means giving up our own ideas and gullible give up. We have lot of ideas. So when with that initiation we should give up our own ideas and we should take the ideas from Guru and Krishna. Their ideas are our own ideas. Okay, so means that is a battery.

With.

We have to cultivate quality of in this world. We are very proud because of ignorance and humility comes from knowledge. And that knowledge is given by the spiritual master. Here also it is explained. Then say where you have to regular service. Then we can ask questions. These are the three aspects. Was giving a very nice lecture to Krishna and what was the content of the lecture? Essence of the lecture and how he should not fight. You have nice argument and after leaving the arguments, you get confused. He did not know whether to find or not to fight. That is the condition we have.

So.

Yeah, he's visible Now I make him full screen.

Another guest.

Anyway.

Spotlighting.
