Mishwaram Har Hari. Yes. Yes. Koti Koti Hare Krishna Dear devotees, Hare Krishna Koti Bar. Koti Koti Koti Koti Koti Koti Bar. Okay, continuing from Chaitanya Shikshamrita of Srila Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur Koti Bar. Continuing from yesterday's session. Falgu Vairagya. The name of this Vairag, this type of Vairagya is Falgu Vairagya. The Lord forbade and taught Sanatana about Yukta Vairagya and also taught the same to Das Goswami. Namely in Chaitanya Charitamrita Madhya Leela 16.237 239. He says, Sthira hoiya Ghare Jao naho batul batul krame Krame pai Lok Bhavas in the cool Bhavas in the cool Murkad Bhairagya Nakaro Lok dekaya Jata Jogya Bishoy Bunje Ana Shaktohoya Antore Nishta Koro Bhai Lok Bhai Bahar Achirat Krishna Tomay Koreve Udhar. Lord Chaitanya told Raghuna Das Goswami, be patient and return home. Don't be a crazy fellow. By and by you'll be able to cross the ocean of material existence. You should not make yourself a show bottle devotee and becomes a false renunciant. For the time being, enjoy the material world in a befitting way and do not become attached to it. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu continued, Within your heart you should keep always. You should keep yourself very faithful. But externally you may behave like an ordinary man. Thus Krishna will soon be very pleased and deliver you from the clutches of Maya. So even Raghunathas approached Lord Chaitanya.

Lord Chaitanya told him to be faithful to Krishna.

Lord Chaitanya told him to be faithful.

To Krishna and don't be a Margat.

Vairagya and don't be a Margaret Bairagi. Don't be a Showbottle Vairagi.

So Krishna put you in a situation. Are you going to enjoy material world.

Krishna puts you in a situation where you can enjoy the material world.

So enjoy it. But see, the heart holds on Krishna.

But keep your heart focused on Krishna.

He will sooner deliver you.

He will sooner or later deliver you.

So even your approach Lord Chaitanya, you might send you away.

But even when you approach Lord Caitanya, he might send you away.

So one has to be very careful.

So one has to be very careful.

Not so easy. And you just approach Lord Chaitanya.

It's not so easy that you just approach Lord Chaitanya.

He may also tell you just hey. At your home.

He may also tell you to stay at your home.

With Krishna.

Keep your heart with Krishna. If you can live in a comfortable life. Sorry. If you can live a comfortable life at home with your wife and son and do bhajan, keeping strong faith in your strong faith in your heart, without attachment, then the material world will gradually disappear. The soul becomes strong by bhakti and is situated in the relationship with the personality of Godhead. As mentioned In RMAD Bhagavatam 1.29 and 10, all occupational engagements are certainly meant for ultimate liberation. They should never be performed for material gain. Furthermore, according to sages, one who's engaged in the ultimate occupational service should never use material gain to cultivate sense gratification. Life's desire should never be directed towards sense gratification.

Normally people work Dharmakara, Arthur, Kalna and Rokhsa.

You see, normally people work for Dharma, Artha Kama and Moksha.

So grandpa told me, people like, I.

Can call it Prabhupada told me, people usually like Artha and Kama.

Enjoy sense.

Gratitude, get money and enjoy sense gratification.

That's Artha Kama.

That is Artha and Kama Arta.

The devotees, they want the service of Ka.

But the devotees, they want the service of Ka.

And they have money. They want to use it in Krishna consciousness.

When they get money, they want to use it in Ka consciousness. They should never be performed for material gain. Furthermore, according to the sages, one who's engaged in the ultimate occupational service should never use material gain to cultivate sense gratifications. Life's desire never be directed towards sense gratification. One should only desire a healthy life or self preservation. Since human being is meant for inquiry about the absolute truth, nothing else should be the goal of one's works.

So devotees can really redirect their desires.

So the devotees completely redirect their desires.

Want to serve Krishna.

They want to serve Krishna.

They like how the healthy stars serve Ka uninterruptedly.

So they want this status so that they can serve Krishna uninterruptedly and uninterruptedly.

So we always want to use so.

The devotees, they don't want to use their advancement for sense gratification.

We have some situation wrong with us or we want to help them.

So we heard about the situation in Bangladesh, so we want to help them.

Because they are running Hindus are taking.

Shelter of their temple because many Hindus there are taking the shelter of the.

Temple and they don't have much. They're not able to go out and raise funds.

And they are not able to go out and raise funds.

So we're trying to get some finance to help the Lord.

So we are trying to get some finance to help help the devotees, help.

The temples in Bangladesh, help the temples in Bangladesh or giving shelter to many of the distressed devotees to give shelter.

To many of the distressed devotees.

Devotees don't want to use money for Sanskrit.

So devotees, they don't want to use money for sense gratification, they want to.

Use it for serving Ka, they want.

To use it for serving Krishna. Hariborn. So we'll end here otherwise desiring to be liberated. If the gradual order is abundant, then market of vairagya will come and make the living entity a bond abominable.

Abominable.

Abominable. That's what I said. The meaning of the order Jata jogya bisha bunja is that one should not accept things for the sake of sensual pleasure, but accept only the things that are necessary for the establishment of the soul's relationship with Ka. By giving the fruit of the satisfaction of the soul, the sense objects itself will give up the transcendental soul. The body house things for Krishna's worship and society can all be instruments for yukta vairagya only. If there is strong faith of the sadhaka in the heart, then that brings all benefits. External faith is merely social custom of common people. If the inner firm faith is sincere without duplicity, then the material bondage and relationship with the material world will be destroyed immediately. To the extent that bhakti attains purity to that extent, pure knowledge and pure detachment must certainly increase.

So material opulence may also be a test.

So material opulence may also be a test.

For serving ka.

If a devotee uses his material opulence for serving ka, then he passes the test.

If he uses it for sense gratification.

If he use it for sense gratification, then he fails. Then he fails.

So this one may test run by al minutes. All right? Otherwise.

So Maya may test one by opulence or by suffering.

So we have opulence, we use it for Ka.

So when we have opulence, we use it for Krishna.

And we are starving. I think it is also a test.

So when we are suffering, we also think that this is a test by Krishna.

So whatever way we should be fixed in serving Krishna.

Whatever way we should be fixed in serving Krishna. This is a quote from Srimad Bhagavatam.

Yeah, he went down.

No, because I finished reading the previous Makshatul Maharaj. Yeah, I did finish that. There's a Bengali thing then. Yeah, there's a Bengali thing then there's an English translation of that. In simple devotional life only taking shelter of the holy name of Krishna is is the topmost sadhana as mentioned in rmad bhagavatam 2.1.11 eta nirvidyyamanam ichatam akutobayam yogi nam ripan nirnitam Harir namanu kirtanam O King. Constant chanting of the holy name of the Lord after the ways of the great authorities is the doubtless and fearless way of success for all, including those who are free from all material desires, those who are desirous of all material enjoyment and also those who are self satisfied by dint of transcendental knowledge. Those who are self satisfied by the dint of self transcendental knowledge.

So transcendental knowledge is our way of success for the devotee.

So transcendental knowledge is the way of success for the devotee.

Our Prabhupada so kindly given us the Srimad Bhagavatam.

So Srila Prabhupada has kindly given us the Rmad Bhagavatam Bhagavad Gita as it is. Bhagavad Gita as it is. And Chaitanya Charitamrita many other smaller books and many other smaller books.

So we have the knowledge, we want to take it.

We have the knowledge. Knowledge we have. If we want to take it, take it. So my servants are taking the Bhakti Vaibhava studies on and.

So Allah has given us such a nice.

So Prabhupada has given us such a nice society.

Nice study.

Nice study.

We can read his books so that.

We can read his books and understand.

The Sigma Bhagavad Gita Chaitanya chart, understand.

The Rmd Bhagavatam Bhagavad Gita and Chaitanya Charitamrita so nothing is missing. So nothing is missing now in the material world. So in material world there is sense.

Gratification which we think is the whole of life.

Which we think is the goal of life.

The real goal is actually to serve.

Ka but the real goal is actually to serve Ka.

And the material sense of is distracting us.

And the material sense gratification is distracting us.

I don't remember of the BBC.

So once we remember the BBC guy who came to Mayapur and I was.

Taking him on the boat and I.

Was taking him on the boat.

So then I remember I said something.

About Sanji aggravation and then I remember I said something about sense gratification.

What's wrong with that?

And he said what's wrong with that?

He thought that was the goal of life.

Because he thought that's the goal of life.

Sense gratification.

Sense gratification.

So if we want we go to Asana then Maya gives us a lot.

Of arbitrary if you want to be Godhasa then Maya gives us lots of opportunity.

If you want to be go Swami will give you opportunity to use your senses to restore Krishna.

If you want to be go Swami then Krishna would give you opportunity to use the senses in his service. The Lord said to Sanatana in chaitanya charitamrita antilila 4.70 and 71 bhajaner madhya shreshta Navabida Bhakti Krishna Prem Krishna Dite Dhare Mahashakti Tar Madhya Sharuvashestra Nam Shankirtan Nirapurade Nam Loyle Krishna Krishna Rama Rama Hare Hare Gurumara among the ways of executing devotional service the nine prescribed methods are the best for this process. Have great potency to deliver Krishna and ecstatic love for him. Of the nine processes of devotional service the most important is to always chat the holy name of the Lord. If one does so avoiding the 10 kinds of offenses one very easily obtains the most valuable love of God Hate Hare Haribo Hare Hare Krishna.

Here we have it gradually from our Acharyas So.

Here we hear, Here we hear directly from our Acharyas how nine processes are.

Devotion of rest.

How the nine process of devotion are the best and of.

Those nine process hearing and chanting continuously.

Unparalleled how in the nine process hearing and chanting continuously is unparalleled.

I went to the Balaram Purnima I went to our Rajapur Jagannath so on.

Balarampurnima day I went to our Rajapur Jagannath temple and There.

We saw how wonderful Jagannatharra and.

And there we saw how wonderful Jagannath Baladev Subhadra were.

Then we went down at the end one to see the Sivantini and Goranga.

And then we went down to see Simantini and Goranga.

So Sivantini was carrying the dust.

So Simantini was taking the dust from Lord Gauranga's lotus feet and putting it on her part in her hair and put it on the part on her head. Sorry. Hat.

Hat hair.

Hat hair.

Salt. Like that. And all the down. Even the Rotomaya. Even the Maya Devi.

So in Navadipdam, even Pravdamaya, the Maya.

Devi, she takes the dust from Lord Chaitanya's lotus feet.

She takes the dust from Lord Caitanya's lotus feet, puts it on the crown of her hair and puts it on the crown of her hair or head assault.

We take the mercy of Balaram and serve Lord Jagannath.

If we take the mercy of Lord Balaram and serve Lord Jagannath then everything is very blissful. And then everything is very blissful. Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Haribo. Haribo.

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna.
