Sri Chaitanya Ishwarama.

So continue with the pious activities.

So we are continuing with the pious activities. 7. Building road preparing a path in an inaccessible place or in a difficult place is called charity of path. As much path as much durable. The stone or brick approach is that much is the piety generated.

Result half of the one side.

The path on the side of the Kamakya deity in Guwahati and.

Narakasur he wanted to unite with.

And Narakasura he wanted to unite with Kamakya Devi.

So she said river road up by mountain before the cock crows.

So she said build a path up the mountain before the cock crows.

And so he was smiling and trying very hard to build this stone road.

So he was sweating and endeavoring very hard to build this stone road.

This Allah was the last hunter and that's hot.

He was just at the last stone and then just at that time the cock crowed.

So on the hill was a nice road, but.

So up the hill there is a road but he couldn't complete it in time. 8. Charity of Ghat the construction of bathing places in a river or pond for public use is called charity of Ghat.

Charity of God.

There is much more piety if a resting place, garden shelter, roofing and a temple on the ghat. If there is or if there is okay, there is much more petty if there is a resting place, garden shelter, roofing and temple on the guard.

The government allow me to build a healing guard.

So we got the government through the Namami Ganga project to build the bathing Ghat here in Mayapur. They wouldn't build or put a temple there because Indian government is non sectarian.

When they finish, hand over to us we want to build a temple.

When they finish and hand over to us then we want to build a temple. 9. Donating a house it is a piety producing act to give a house to those who are unable to build a house and live there. Giving any goods or money to a worthy person as much as is necessary is a charity of goods. So Kamala Harris is a candidate for the President of United States of America.

She said she wants to give a.

Million houses so she said that she wants to give a million houses so that's charity of House 10 giving the first portion of delicious food One should take food after giving the first part of the delicious food to others Today they gave me noodles for breakfast but the noodles were made from soya.

Was too heavy so it was too.

Heavy so I asked what the Lord is downstairs stairs are so then I.

Asked what devotees downstairs had so they.

Run up arrow knows.

So they brought a bowl of edible noodles and arepa is a Colombian Venezuelan special so I was told that it was cooked by two of my Spanish disciples so.

In the right way I ended up having.

Their prasadam so indirectly I ended up having their prasadam Ojaswini and Ishwari Devi they prepared the prasada Are they here? So you can tell them that I mentioned them and so here it is mentioned that the first portion of prasadam should be given to someone 11 giving daughter in marriage Giving of a well decorated daughter to a suitable man of the same caste is called Kanya Dana.

I want to house the light number.

I went to the house of a life member.

He said a boy was coming over to see his daughter and.

He said that a boy was coming over to see his daughter and he asked for blessings he brought his daughter.

She was bathed in perfume she was.

Bathed in perfume and.

You know she dressed.

Kill she was dressed to kill.

So anyway it's the duty of the father to see that his daughter get.

Married so anyway it is the duty of the father to see that his daughter gets married.

Sometimes marrying a daughter.

There is some verse which says that getting a daughter married is like climbing over a mountain he has two boys.

Me.

He doesn't know two types of receiving guests There are two types of hospitality namely one towards persons two towards society the householder, if a guest arrives should not be carefree without rendering due service to the guest it is instructed in the scriptures that when when the food and so on is ready the householder should go outside his door and call for starving persons three times if someone comes he should feed that person and then take meal oneself with the family There is a rule to call guests at half past two at present it is difficult for everyone to stay hungry until that time so the duty is fulfilled when one calls the hungry person before one eats oneself A hungry person does not mean a business beggar it is the duty of social hospitality in social activities so the meaning of.

Atiti is that a guest comes unexpectedly.

Is that a guest who comes unexpectedly not according to some scheduled time.

Hours of the Journey to feed Vivo So.

It is a householder's duty to feed people if they are hungry. So Prabhupada told us a secret.

The house, right till 2:30.

So a householder can wait till 2:30 and call out.

Most people would have eaten by 2:30.

And most people would have eaten by 2 30. And if one has not eaten by 2:30, then he is really hungry.

In New Orleans, the only time that Americans kill something to eat in Halloween day.

In New Orleans, the only day that the Americans give something to eat is Halloween day.

A lot of times my kids come and say treat or treat.

At that time, the kids come and say treat.

Or treat. If you don't treat me with sweets or something, I'm gonna trick you.

Okay? Treat or trick. So if you don't give, if you're not going to feed me with some sweets or something, then I'm going to trick you.

And they throw some garbage or something on the door.

And they throw some garbage or something at the door.

And so on Halloween day.

So one foreigner, he gave on Halloween day trick or treat. The guy thought he was a dangerous person. So he called the police. So he yelled out, please.

Stop in your tracks.

So that's a way of saying stop in your tracks.

But this foreigner, he didn't understand the saying.

But this foreigner, he did not understand the saying, so you're coming. So he let him come in. So he kept coming up and the.

Guy also shut up.

And the guy, the householder shot him dead.

Coming to get some candy. He was coming to get some candy.

He was coming to get some candy.

Sorry, I was shot to death.

But he got shot to death. It was in the newspaper.

At that time. High rains was nice out.

At that time when this happened, New Orleans was my zone. GBC zone. And I happened to be there. Four types of purity. Purity. Purity Purity. P U R I T y P U 4 types. Purity Purity is of 4 types. Namely personal cleanliness to cleaning road, ghat. Cleaning road, ghat, cowshed shop, personal house and temple to deities. 3. Cleansing the forest for cleansing places of pilgrimage. Details Bhaktivino Thakur has given details.

What are the four kinds of purity?

What are the four kinds of purity?

Personal cleanliness.

Personal cleanliness.

That's normally what they do.

That's what normally they do.

Other things.

There are other things.

Extra.

There are extra Cleaning roads, ghat, cowshed shop, one's own house and temples with deities. There is elaboration of Personal cleanliness is of two types. Internal cleanliness and external cleanliness. The name of purity of mind is called internal cleanliness. Purification of the mind is done by pious activity without sinful actions. Sinless light and moderate food and drink are also the cause for the purification of the mind. Eating and drinking products touched by drunkards and other sinful persons creates impurity of mind. Of all the means of purification the mind, remembrance of Vishnu is the chief. There is the provision of atonement to cleanse the sinful heart. Among them the Karma Prayashitta. Atonement of actions such as Chandrayana releases the sinner of sinful deeds. Sinful desire, which is the root of sin does not go away. Repentant knowledge removes sinful desires. But the seed of sin which is aversion to God is removed only by Hari Smriti. Remembrance of Hari.

A lazy person in a certain sense that because of online medication and everything, I can't observe alcohol. Provost.

Because of my medication and all these things, I cannot observe a full fast. On Ekadashi.

I hear a voice.

But on the day before Ekadashi, I hear the glories of the upcoming Ekadashi.

So many sense of washed away.

It says just by hearing the glories of Ekadashi, so many sins are washed away.

Just by hearing about the Taji.

So just by hearing about Ekadashi, you get benefit. So every Ekadashi has some glories of Lord Hari.

I imagine one class that all one of the two contestants were US President Harris.

I mentioned in one class how one of the two contestants for the American Presidentship was Kamala Harris. Kamala is the name of Radharani.

Her name Harris and Harris.

Hari is the name of Lord Hari. So everyone in the Democratic Party glorifies Kamala Harris.

Republican Party.

So everyone in the Republican Party they criticize Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris is this Kamala Harris? Is that.

So?

Everyone in America is chanting the name of Radha and Krishna. Kamala and Hari this is Nama Bhaas. But they must be getting some sukriti from such uttering the names Srimad Bhagavatam 6, 2, 16 and 17. Authorities who are learned scholars and sages have carefully ascertained that one should atone for the heaviest sins by undergoing a heavy process of atonement, and one should atone for lighter sins by undergoing lighter atonement. Chanting the Hare Ka Mantra, however, vanquishes all the effects of sinful activities, regardless of whether heavy or light. Although one may neutralize the reactions of sinful life through austerity, charity vows and other such methods, these pious activities cannot uproot the material desires in one's heart. However, if one serves the lotus feet of the personality of Godhead, he is immediately freed from all such contaminations.

Har Krishna, he got rid of more sins than you can.

Even so the scripture says that if you chant the Hare Krishna Maham Mantra then you can get rid of more sins than you can even commit.

Hearing that one decides to sin and that chant adds no chance.

But hearing that if one decides to commit sins and then chant, then that is an offense. So.

One should not do sitting on the strength of chanting.

So one should not commit sins on the strength of chanting. There are many judgments of the Tattva of atonement which must be looked at in the text. The the mind is purified by bathing in holy water and bathing in the Ganges. The name of keeping one's body, clothes, house and so on is called external cleanliness. Cleanliness is performed by bathing in clean water, wearing clean clothes and eating and drinking sattvic food. In the case of body contacting stool, urine, etc. The body should be kept clean by washing with water.

Internal cleanliness and external cleanliness.

So here Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur has mentioned internal cleanliness and external cleanliness.

So we touch stool, urine, etc. Then we have to wash ourselves with water.

So if we touch stool, urine etc. We should wash ourselves with water. Okay. The end Today was my dialysis day. A little tired so that leaves me a little tired. So you. So should I ask any questions? Any questions have come up.

Two questions have come up so you can ask.

There are two questions from the day before yesterday. You said that everybody needs to take you said that everybody needs to take care of their parents. Then the Brahmacharis who have left their houses, how will they do it.

To Krishna or anything? Anyone.

If they have dedicated their lives to Krishna then they don't owe anything to anyone.

Sometimes.

But sometimes people do things to serve their parents. So it depends on how you balance your service to Guru and Krishna and how you take care of your parents. Could you please clarify the different effects of Maya and Kali Yuga, your spiritual daughter Yugala Leela Devidasi. What are the different effects of Maya and Kalyuga? I don't know if she's asking Kali Yuda.

It's not particularly tenacious. It just tests you with material.

So Mahamaya tests you with material, prosperity and all these different things. But they are not tamasic. They are just testing you. But Kali is trying to sell us meat eating, illicit sex, intoxication, gambling.

He was caught by Pari Maharaj.

So he was caught by Parikshit Maharaj for beating a cow and a bull. So Panikshit Maharaj was going to punish him. But.

Kali surrendered to Prakit Raj.

But Kali surrendered to Parikshit Maharaj. So Kshatriya doesn't try to punish someone who has surrendered. So Kali asked for some place to stay. So he gave him these four places. Pardon. But these places did not exist in his kingdom. So he said, since these places don't exist in your kingdom give me some place where I can stay. So then Parikshit Maharaj said, you can stay in those places where there is gold hoarding of gold hoarding of gold holding, piling up of gold hoarding. H O A R D I N.

G.

So where people hold the hoard gold. All these sinful activities, they gone there. Thank you all. See you tomorrow. My blessings to all of you.
