20240823 - The process of Hari Bhajana in Varṇāśrama

So maybe we'll just do zoom dashing and we'll finish the session. Or you want to read something? Okay.

Hello.

Is the sound working? Okay? Yeah, it's working. Just wanted to ask Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, online devotees, can you all hear Guru Maharaj properly? You are not online Hare Krishna. Are we audible online devotees?

Yes.

Okay. Yeah. Yes. Guru Maharaj, we can start. Let him fix the hearing aid. Hare Krishna, Dear devotees, Hare Krishna. Okay, so today we will continue again Lord Chaitanya has said in 4.65 to 68 koti charia koro Shrabon Kirtan Achirat Pavetove Krishnir Charan Nichajati Nahi Krishna Bhajane Ajogko as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 10.23 to 39, 23.39 to Adoksha Jai, the Brahmanas said, and I hear, I quote, to hell with our threefold birth, our vow of celibacy and our extensive learning to help with our aristocratic background. Aristocratic background and our expertise of rituals of sacrifice. These are all condemned because we are inimical to the transcendental personality of Godhead Krishna. Bhajane nahijati, Kuladi Bichar diner Adika Doya Kore Bhagawan told Sanatan Goswami, Give up all your non sensual desires. Nonsensical, nonsensical desires for they are unfavorable. For getting shelter at the lotus feet of Krishna, engage yourself in chanting and hearing. Then you will soon achieve the shelter of Krishna. Without doubt, a person born in a low family is not unfit for discharging devotional service to Lord Krishna. Nor is one fit for devotional service simply because he is born in an aristocratic family of Brahmanas. Anyone who takes to devotional service is exalted, whereas a non devotee is always condemned and abominable. Therefore, in the discharge of devotional service to the Lord, there is no consideration of status of the of of one's family. The supreme personality of Godhead Krishna is always favorable to the humble and meek. But aristocrats, learned scholars and wealthy are always proud of their positions.

Being proud of your position is not a good quality.

So being proud of your position is not a good quality.

You are humble and meek Krishna no matter who you are.

If you are humble and meek, Krishna would accept no matter who you are.

And.

So.

Even if someone is a very high position, very high practice he brought has not worked for him.

Maybe if someone is in a high position and has high practices, if he's proud then it's not good for him.

We are nothing compared the son of the great. The Lord is.

We are nothing compared to some of the great devotees of Lord Chaitanya and Lord Krishna.

Very humbly engage Krishna service.

So we should very humbly engage in Krishna's service. Hare Krishna. What would you like to read more? We'll stop here. The process of Haribhajan in Varnashrama the meaning of the Lord's birds is the meaning of the Lord's words are that if there is reverence for the subjects related to the Lord then accept Hari Nama in the association of Sadhus. Do not let the mind to be agitated by the attempts of Karma and Gyana. As per the rules of counting numbers, take care to constantly chant 16 names of 16 names such as Hare Krishna by making the body and the house favorable to the practice of chanting the holy names. Should do as much effort as is necessary for maintenance of these substances Body house and offer it to Krishna sincerely without duplicity. Don't try too hard on anything else and don't over endeavor on this or either of the body and house. Do not eat food dear to the senses or do not use it. Do not use it in other senses. Protect the body by moderate moderate Satvika food in such a way that the Jiva's pure knowledge and favorable sense at favorable sense, attachment and internal senses such as the mind are not destroyed or distorted.

So Hardin Takar giving some practical advice.

So Srila Bhakti Veena Thakur is giving some practical advice.

I say that.

I think that he composed a song. So.

He was what our Lord had Paul's body. He was surrendering everything at the lotus state of the Lord.

So we have false body. He was surrendering everything at the lotus feet of Lord Chaitanya. So.

He didn't only talk to dogs, he walked a walk.

See, he didn't only talk the talk but he walked the walk. Okay, okay. Sure, sure. As mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 11, a learned sage should take his satisfaction in the simple maintenance of his existence and should not seek satisfaction through gratifying the material senses. In other words, one should care for the material body in such a way that one's higher knowledge is not destroyed and so that one's speech and mind are not deviated from self realization. End of the code. Also mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 11.25.28 Patyamputam Anasyatam Aharyam Satvikams Mrtam Rajasam Chendriya Preshtam tamasam, chati dasuchi Food that is wholesome, pure and obtained without difficulty is in the mode of goodness. Food that gives immediate pleasure to the senses is in the mode of passion. And food that is unclean and causes distress is in the mode of ignorance. Also there's a continuation residence in the forest is the residence in the forest is in the mode of goodness. Residents in a town is in the mode of passion. Residents in a gambling house displays the displays the quality of ignorance and residents in a place where I reside is transcendental. End of the quote.

So if we live in ashram or Krishna is present in the temple, so.

If you stay in the ashram Levina Ashram where Krishna is present in the.

Temple, then that place is transcendental and.

That place is transcendental where one is.

Song that said here, whether if one.

Lives in some places, as it is mentioned here.

It'S here in the model oneness, passion.

Then it is in the mode of goodness, passion and ignorance.

So here we have a temple.

So here we have a temple. We are living in the temple. There are ashram around the temple.

So that's a transcendental existence.

So that's transcendental existence.

And be in a place where Krishna.

Is so we want to be in a place where Krishna is.

I know some devotees, they write to me how they want to stay in the Mayapur.

I know some devotees, they write to me how they want to stay in Mayapur. So.

Staying in the temple or in the temple ashram or to participate.

So the point is to stay in the temple ashram or in the temple vicinity is or in the temple is to participate in the temple activities.

Taking advantage living near the temple.

So if. If someone can't do that, then they are not taking advantage living near to the temple and.

How they are one of the material existences.

So then they're having one of the material existences as mentioned here.

I mean most people can't live in a in the forest.

I mean most of the people can't live in the forest, so.

They live in the town. So they closet to so either they.

Are living in the town or in some tamasic situation. Okay? Accept the solitary residence that is not too much strenuous or difficult. Strenuous or difficult that not too much strenuous or difficult staying in such society that is not unfavorable for Krishna Bhakti take care of the progress in such a. Such progress of such a. Of such a society. The meaning of doing all this Is that you will be sure to worship in solitude with firm care. Except a solitary residence. That is the. The meaning of doing all this is that you'll be sure that worship in solitude with firm care. Oh, really? Yeah.

So we want to always be engaged in the original service.

So we want to be always engaged in devotional service.

We do that with extreme care.

And we do that with extreme care.

People have this all causes rats to look the tape lost sorrows.

So the devotees, they live in small houses or flats to participate in devotional service.

So I see so many devotees who come to the temples and dissipate.

Also we see so many devotees. They come to the temple and participate. So.

This is utilizing the.

Time so this is utilizing their time in devotional service. Okay. Can we end here? Is it okay if we end it here?

It's all right.

Okay, thank you. Okay, we'll continue tomorrow. Hare Krishna.

As I say, the what is on zoom.

Okay, we'll be. We'll see them. Yeah, yeah. Okay. This is Anandaroop Goranga Das. Adi Dev Goshundar Das. I think we have repeatedly requested devotees not to raise their hands.
