So Trang Ji said I was angry at her because I didn't recognize him.

Siranji thought that I was angry at him because I couldn't recognize him.

I'm not angry at anybody. Just a short talk before question and answer.

Just a small talk before the question and answer.

It's very important that everybody realize.

It's very important that everybody realize.

Lord Chaitanya is Krishna himself who came down as a devotee.

That Lord Chaitanya is Krishna himself who came down as his devotee.

Rainy day I told Krishna that you know what Brahma is doing and Satya logo what Shiva is doing. Kailash Sri Rukmini Devi.

She told Krishna, you know what Brahma is doing in Satya Loka. What Shiva is doing in Kailash.

You know what's going on in all the Ananda Koti Brahmanda.

You know what's going on in the Anantakoti Brahmanda.

There's one thing you don't know.

But there's one thing that you don't know.

Radharani knows.

Radharani knows.

I know.

I know.

But you don't know.

But you don't know.

Krishna was amazed.

Krishna was amazed.

What she's saying is something he doesn't know.

What she's saying is something that I don't know.

I said, what is that?

And he said, what's that?

And she told him how much your devotees love you.

She told him, you don't know how much your devotees love you.

And in what way we love you.

And in what way we love you.

Radharani knows.

Radharani knows.

I know.

I know.

You don't know.

But you don't know.

Yes, there's nobody above you.

Because there's nobody above you.

So then he said, he'll tell me how you are. He said, tita, I'll call as my devotee. I'll call as my devotee. I'll call as my devotee.

So he said in Kaliyuga he said three times that I'll come as my devotee. I will come as my devotee and I'll come as my devotee.

Lord Krishna, I thought how he had so much transcendental fun enjoyment in Raja.

So Lord Krishna thought that how much he has transcendental enjoyment in braza.

But he had not distributed this Krishna Prema for a long time.

But he has not distributed this Ka Prema for a long time.

So he decided to come again in Kali Yuga.

So he decided to come again in Kali Yuga.

And so he and Radharani. Radharani had created the Navadip Dham.

So he and Radharani. Radharani created the Navadvip Dam.

Krishna came there and appreciated drying rocks.

And Krishna came there and appreciated it very much.

And then he and Radharani combined together.

And then he and Radharani combined together.

Originally Krishna created or manifested Radharani.

So originally Krishna created or manifested Radharani.

And she is the quasi potency Shakti.

And she is the pleasure potency, the Haladini Shakti.

Krishna and her Radha Kamaine and Krishna.

And her Radha combined, they produced Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

When he came, he didn't come alone. He came with this, his Shakti, the priest.

So when he came, he never came alone. He came with his expansion Avatar Shaktis, his devotees.

This was predicted in the 11th canto.

This was predicted in the 11th canto. Krishna Varanam, Tusha, Krishnam Sangho, Pangastha, Parshadam.

So Krishna will come in Kalyuga.

So Krishna would come in Kaliyuga. But he won't be in Krishna's color. He comes with his expansion Sa Anga.

His potencies.

Panga his potencies.

And his associates.

And his associates Parsha them.

Parsha them also intelligent.

Those who are intelligent, they would follow him and do the Sankeetan Yagya. So all of you are very fortunate. Following the tiger, you are following Nitai girl.

And practicing the.

And practicing the special Yajna of Kali Yuga.

Chanting the holy name.

Chanting the holy name.

So just this message we have to keep chanting Hare Krishna.

So we have to keep chanting Hare Krishna. What was the first question? This is the magic that you have to keep chanting Hare Krishna. You see, the name is powerful in all the yugas. So like Ajamen he chanted the name of Narayan, his son's name. So people, different people chanted at different.

Yugas of the special yagya for Kalyuga is changing.

But the special Yajna for Kali Yuga is chanting.

So whatever you do, keep chanting.

So whatever we do, keep chanting.

And those who are initiative, take a while.

Those who are initiated, they have taken a vow to avoid breaking the four regulated principles.

Very serious.

It's very serious.

Sometimes there is someone who said it's not important to follow these rules.

Sometimes there's someone who said it's not so important to follow these rules.

I don't know about you, I don't need to follow.

What's that? I'm Ragnuga Bhakti. I don't need to follow.

These vows. As we follow all but these vows.

Vows has to be followed all the time.

Sahajyas they say that you don't have to follow.

Sahajyas, they say that you don't have to follow.

Well we don't say that.

But we don't say that.

So I think why not practice Krishna Consciousness has to follow these laws.

If you want to practice Ka consciousness then you have to follow these vows. Now.

If we want to follow no illicit sex, we have to be married.

If you want to follow no illicit sex, we have to be married.

Or who's that?

Or abstain.

Being married you're allowed to have connection.

Being married you're allowed to have connection. Otherwise not.

So Lord Chaitanya came deliver all the people this age.

So Lord Chaitanya came to deliver all the people in this age.

His mercy is such that somehow everybody gets to the Lord.

His mercy is such somehow everybody gets delivered.

Responsibility to help spread this message of Lord Chaitanya to everyone.

But it's your responsibility to help to spread Lord Chaitanya's message to everyone. Hare Krishna.

Oh, just about. Short talk over the questions and answers.

So this was just a small talk. So we'll open to questions. So there's a question. Hare Krishna. Guru Maharaj, please accept. Please accept my Respectful obeisances.

I said that.

Okay, accept it. We read from Chaitanya Charitamrita that Lord Chaitanya preached to the Muslims, Buddhist, mayavadis, demigod worshippers, etc. Did Lord Chaitanya also preach to the Christians? Because I couldn't find the description in the Chaitanya Charitamrita. Thank you very much. Your spiritual daughter Malini Prithi Devidasi.

Maybe he loves that Prasil Raw maybe he.

Left that to Srila Prabhupada.

Because Prabhupada preached in Europe, America, Australia, all the Christians.

So Srila Prabhupada he preached in Europe, America, Australia to all the Christians.

I was born a Christian.

I was born as a Christian.

Prabhupada explained how we should love Krishna.

Srila Prabhupada explained how we should love Krishna.

This is the International society for Ka Consciousness.

This is the international society for Ka Consciousness.

I saw a Bible Lord Jesus, he said his first commandment is to love the Lord thy God with all your heart, with all your soul, mind and earth.

So in the Bible Lord Jesus said that the first commandment was love the God thy heart. So on. I couldn't get that.

So a lot about Jesus.

So in the Bible they tell a lot about Jesus.

Well, they say we should love God.

But they say he said we should love God but they don't have so much information so.

Much about the Lord and his avatars.

But in the Gita Srimad Bhagavatam they tell us so much about the Lord and his different avatars.

I was telling some Christian nurses came to see me in the hospital so.

I was telling to some Christian nurses who came to see me in the.

Hospital in the Bible it says so much about Jesus.

In the Bible it said so much about Jesus.

It says you should love God.

And he said you should love God.

You don't know that much about God.

You don't know that much about God.

So in the Vedas a lot of information about God but in the Vedas.

They got a lot of information about God. So.

That'S true.

So I say they said is that true?

No, they said oh, that's true.

Oh they said oh that's true. So.

The information the Lord.

Social papa gave the information that the Lord his.

Personal he has variety of pastimes.

He has variety of pastimes.

So naturally people they became lovers of the Godhead.

So naturally people they became the lovers of the supreme personality of Godhead.

However, Jesus so in that way they.

Were following Lord Jesus Actually.

He gave us his.

But actually Srila Prabhupada, he gave this knowledge to the western people.

Oh, many questions. He will start.

Hare Krishna Maharaj, please accept my humble obey senses. Okay, the question is only initiated devotees go back to Krishna. Question mark. If devotees devotee, chant 16 rounds, follow four regulatory principles, do devotional service, but not initiated, can he.

Remember Krishna at the time of death?

You see, if they remember Krishna at the time of death, they can go back to Krishna.

But if someone avoids initiation.

But if someone avoids initiation.

Which is available, which is available, what they want out of whole, they don't want to be initiated.

Out of false ego or something, they don't want initiation. So.

That'S an offense.

That's an offense.

One can't get it.

If one can get it, it's not available. One can't get it. When it's not available, they can still go back to Godhead.

But if it's available and one doesn't take it over all seal, then due to that offense they have to kill it.

So if it's available, but one is not taking it due to his false ego, so due to that offense, he might not go get it.

You're all being trained out, all the.

Unnecessary devotees, all the initiated devotees are being trained up to be gurus in the future. To be gurus in the future?

Yeah.

How many years? No. Maybe 100, 200, 300.

Anyway, as many people that are here.

So as many devotees are here, if you get initiated, you all can be gurus.

After the guru leaves.

Even after the guru leaves or is.

The guru orders you?

Or if the guru orders you. Next question.

Next question. Wow.

I understand the term demigod, etc. However, there are few Prabhu Mataji do not respect demigods. Is that right? Is it forgiven Even if hellish? He or she continuously pray to Krishna. Hare Krishna.

The devas are also devotees.

The devas are also devotees.

And we should not disrespect.

And we should not disrespect any. Some devas, they got some desires, they are called as sakam bhaktas. But they are devotees. We should not disrespect them.

If one disrespects them, that's an offense.

If one disrespects them, that's an offense. So.

Deva Devi are also Vaishnavas.

So Devas Devi is. They are also Vaishnava actually.

Says.

Actually in the Bhagavatam it says Vaishnavanam Yatashambhu.

One of the great Devotees.

Shambhu Deva is one of the great devotees.

So Lord say Jannah he would have some personal association with the Lord Sri Lanka over the temples.

So Lord Chaitan would have personal association with demigods like Lord Shiva and go to different temples.

Every temple.

In every temple he would chant the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.

Here we arise from this disagreement between the bodies of Krishna and devotees of Devi.

Sometimes we see that there's some disagreement between the devotees of Krishna and the devotees of Devas and Devis.

My dad is due to ignorance.

That's due to ignorance.

And then I went.

So when I went, I offered my ob senses to the baby.

And then things were settled.

And things were settled. Here they had this that issue that was the Paloma State that was in Palam estate. So. So to Lord Vishnu you offer with your left side.

What was devas for Devi all with your right side.

But for the Devas and Devis you offer with your right side.

Well, Allah worship all. I want to take her away.

So they all are worshipable in a particular way.

Hare Krishna Sons and doctrine of devotion Other books how we fell out just restart.

So it says in the nectar of devotion and other transcendental books that we should not disrespect veas demigods.

What we understand Krishna is the supreme.

But we understand that Krishna is the supreme.

They are also devotees.

They are also devotees. They may have great powers in the material world. Next question. Dear Guru Maharaj, may I know what is Srila Prabhupada? What is Srila Prabhupada's expectation on Vaishnava care? How should one be part of it?

As I read.

Books, people if they read Srila Prabhupada's books, I know what.

Prabhupada's exploitation.

They could find out what Srila Prabhupada's expectations are.

Not a secret.

It's not a secret.

Unfortunately, many devotees don't read Prabhupada books.

But unfortunately many devotees don't read Srila Prabhupada's books.

When I realized this, I took although I'd already been studying books.

When I realized it, although I was always studying the books, I decided to.

Get the different degrees.

I decided to get the different degrees.

I have already seen the right results.

Had already received the Bhakti Shastri directly from Srila Prabhupada.

Can I recently last couple of years start taking the test for the Bhakti Vaidal Bhakti Vidana.

So recently I passed over the Years taking the test for Bhakti Vaibhava and Bhaktivedanta.

They offered to give me free.

They offered to give me free honorary degrees. Honorary degrees?

I don't know or re read the books.

I said no, I'll reread the books and take the tests. I got my Bhaktivedanta degree recently. I want to be a good example for all the devotees for them to study. Okay, the next question. Bhakti Sarava Bama. So now I'm taking my Bhakti Sarava Bahama. Okay, the next question.

So anyway, all the Vaishnavas.

So all the Vaishnavas and Vaishnavis we want to serve and take care of them. Okay. Thank youk Maharaj.

Thank you.

I am in Ka Consciousness for four months.

Four months?

Yeah. How do I choose a guru for initiation? Is there one and only guru for a devotee? Thank you.

You see, one should ascertain who to take Diksha from.

You see, one should ascertain whom to.

Take Diksha from, whom to take initiation from.

Whom to take initiation from.

That person is the Diksha Guru.

That person is the Diksha Guru.

One has one big Sagura but one.

Has one Diksha Guru now.

But what in the hell? Instructing spiritual masters.

But one can have instructing spiritual masters unlimited.

So at one point Paul said the initiative go and all you are the instructing gurus.

So at one point Srila Prabhupada said, I am the initiating Guru and all of you are the instructing Guru. Then he became sick and then he became sick and health issues and had some health issues.

And he collected a certain number of disciples to start initiating.

So he selected certain number of disciples to start initiating on his behalf and.

Finally accept their own.

Finally should accept their own disciples. Dear Guru Maharaj.

Do we need to.

How to choose who's your DK Guru?

As far as how to choose who's your Diksha Guru?

I have 11 some number of things you'd ask.

So ascertain the things someone should ask themselves to ascertain.

I'll find out those things that make that available. I'll find those questions to ask yourself.

I'll find those questions you ask yourself available. Dear Guru Maharaj, we need to have do we need the quality of Brahmana as mentioned in 1842 Bhagavad Gita in order to gain second diksha. But out of humility one may think have.

Caught every house.

Some of them have to be really careful not to take principles.

By accepting the Second initiation.

That is, by accepting the second initiation.

We will be perfect.

What's that? Too much?

By our own estimation, we may never be perfect.

By our own estimation, we mean we never may be perfect. But. But there's a certain line that we have to come over.

Very strict, very strict. As far as we are, we can take the second decision. We don't go for it.

Then we have the second initiation. Then we become further qualified.

So second initiation means like 12 years old.

Second initiation means like 12 years old.

And before second initiation, that's lower than 12.

So before second initiation is lesser than 12.

So as a baby creates a mess in the lap of the mother, Just.

As a baby creates a mess on the lap of the mother, it's not a big thing. It's not a big thing.

12 child creates a mess on your lap.

But if your 12 years old child creates a mess on your lap, it's a big thing.

So second is the confidence we can follow the regular principles.

So for the second initiation, we should be confident that we can follow the regulative principles.

And we should have some basic philosophy of knowledge.

And we should have some basic philosophical knowledge.

That's why I say that this was a quote from Prabhupada that he wanted the people who took second initiation this.

Is a quote from Srila Prabhupada that he wanted people who took second initiation to have the bhakti shastri. So next question, less devotees is okay, Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj, how are you? Could you please explain? Guru Maharaj, it's going to be 9:00 now. Okay, let's finish this and we'll get on. Could you please explain the foundation of congregational development in the temple?

We create these temples so that people can sit down.

I didn't get you.

Someone heard a class from Prabhupada.

So someone heard a class from Srila Prabhupada.

We create these temples, we will sit down.

So we create these temples so people would sit down and listen. And listen.

And then gradually they may start to.

Understand and then gradually they may start to understand Ka consciousness.

So all the people who live in.

Their homes, so the congregational development is all the people who live in their.

Home, they are also given different programs so they can advance Ka consciousness.

They are also given different programs so that they also could advance in Ka consciousness.

Bhakti rickshaws or different programs Namah Bhakti.

Rickshaws, different programs so that they can.

Also practice Ka consciousness and advance so.

That they can also participate in Ka consciousness. In advance.

Some answers are devotees.

Most of our devotees live in their homes.

But they also practice Krishna consciousness.

But they also practice Ka consciousness.

So our temples are not vertical. So those are teach them.

So our temples are meant for people to cultivate them or to teach them.

And many of our home devotees also initiated.

Many of our home devotees are also initiated.

We want to see that everyone is able to engage in devotional service.

We want to see that everyone is able to engage in devotional service. Service in Bhakti Yoga, you know how.

To have children and Krishna consciousness.

In order to have children in Krishna consciousness, we need to have Garbadan Samskara.

One Christian priest in South America, he said, go to girl, I want to talk to you.

So. So one Christian priest in South America, he told me, you are the guru, I want to talk to you.

I'm also guru.

I'm also a guru, Christian guru. So I'm also. So he asked everyone to leave. I told him, all right.

So he said that I'm a brother.

So he said, I'm a pastor, I'm not allowed to get married. And.

How do you have Krishna consciousness? I mean God conscious sex?

So then he asks, how do you have God conscious sex?

I tell them the process of.

So then I told him the process of Garbhadana Samskara. How could one practice Ka consciousness as a Grahasta?

After some months I came back to that place.

After some months I came back to that place.

I can realize that. Guru, Guru, I'll talk to you.

So again that guy said, guru to Guru, I want to talk to you.

And then I went off.

Then everyone left.

And so then he opened his wear that white collar. He opened that and took out nice deep.

And then he opened his white color coat and took the out his neck bit. He said, thank you very much. Okay, Guru Maharaj, the next question is how to fill up the mind with Krishna consciousness. Where the mind is always monkeying. Thank you. Monkey, monkey like a monkey jumping here and there. Monkeying. It's a nice term. New thing I learned today.

Prabhupada said it took him 20 years to achieve.

So Srila Prabhupada said it took 20 years for him to achieve perfection.

So you can't expect that in a few months or years.

So don't expect in few months or years.

You control the mind.

You can control the mind.

Gradually you get the possibility to control the mind.

But gradually you'll get the possibility to control your mind.

The chanting of Hare Ka purifies the mind.

The Chanting of Hare Ka purifies the mind.

Also when you want to hear more information on the cast Irishta and we.

Want to hear more information on the pastimes of Krishna.

Krishna is a super soul. He is in your heart.

Krishna is the super soul. He is in your heart.

And he helps you to purify your mind.

And he helps you to purify your mind. So eventually your mind can get purified.

It's a gradual process.

It's a gradual process.

And gradually it's like a little child in the beginning it's like a monkey.

So gradually just like a little child in the beginning it's like a monkey.

He runs around, he roams around. Eventually he becomes mature and controlled.

So eventually he becomes matured and controlled. So chanting Hare Krishna and engaging in pure devotional service help to purify the mind. Okay, last question. Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj, please accept my respectful obeisances. Onion, garlic and caffeine are prohibited to consume in order to practice Ka consciousness. But there are times it's unavoidable situation like falling sick, tackling headaches and so on. Does devotees allow to take them? Especially for the initiated devotees like onion and garlic as a medicine. Like onion garlic pattern as medicine devotees allow to take them.

I don't know of any doctor who has commented or has prescribed has to take onions.

I don't know any doctors who have prescribed who have commented that I never heard. I never heard.

I know some people take descented garlic.

So I know people for blood, Some people for blood pressure, they take decented garlic.

If you're taking if your doctor is prescribing.

If your doctor is prescribing.

Don't look around for the doctor prescribe.

But don't look around for the doctor who's prescribing.

I'm the onion doctor.

I'm the onion doctor.

To be a hundred ringgit, I'll destroy onion. What's that to be a hundred ringgit. I'll.

Okay, give me a hundred in. I'll prescribe onion for you.

But it really helps. I mean some people take this garlic to control their blood pressure.

If it really helps. I mean some people they take this garlic to control their blood pressure.

But my doctor never prescribed doctor.

But my doctor never prescribed that to me. Okay. Could you say anything about Bhagrapuram?

Now is the.

So we can give some sets to all the libraries, school libraries, college libraries.

And all your friends, dear friends.

To your Namahatta Bhakti rickshaw groups.

Somehow we should promote this.

Somehow we should promote this Shreemad Bhagavatam.

That'S very.

Pleasing to Lord Krishna and then that's very pleasing to Lord Krishna.

The wicked among us. He sacrificed his life to have this.

Parikit Maharaj. He sacrificed his life to have the Sriman Bhagavatam spoken.

So someone for you sacrificed his life.

If someone sacrifices his life for you, shouldn't you read the Rimad Bhagavatam?

First six candles Bhakti Vaibar.

So first six cantos is Bhakti Vaibar.

Last six candles is Bhaktivedanta and the.

Last six candles is BhaktivedantA.

So in the night candle and the Prabhupada. Prabhupada said when it comes to Ka.

Consciousness in the ninth canto in a Prabhupashla Prabhupada says when it comes to Ka consciousness we woman sutra, whatever, man.

Woman, Shudra, whatever are all evil.

They are all equal.

So there's prayers and instructions.

Instructions in the Srimad Bhagavatam everyone should read so everyone should read Srimad Bhagavatam. Hare Krishna.

Any other question?

I think we are done. It's 9:15 now you have to take. You have to take your dinner. Then tomorrow you also have initiation.

Thank you very much.

So thank you very much for your questions.

I hope my answers were Ka conscious.

I hope my answers were Krishna conscious. Enough.

This human light is a rare gift.

So this human life is a rare gift.

Jenny, some of these in the material world is dependent on your karma.

So getting facilities in this material world is Dependent on your karma.

Normally people are very desires of attaining money. Regarding.

So normally people are very desirous for attaining money, education, beauty, parentage.

So.

We have been taking birth after birth in the material world.

Someone has money, someone.

So someone has good birth, money.

Education.

And then they have education.

Then I realized I'm still not happy.

And then they realize I'm still not happy.

So the real healthiness comes being Krishna conscious.

So the real happiness comes from being Ka conscious.

The material things are just phantasmagoria.

The material things are just phantasmagoria.

So I hope that all of you realize Krishna consciousness, become very happy.

I hope all of you realize Ka consciousness and become very happy.
