So okay, continue with the pious activities.

So we're continuing with the pious activities. 7. Building road preparing a path in an inaccessible place or in a difficult place is called charity of pious 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 of the Karma Kya deity.

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

And he wanted to unite.

And Naraka Sur he wanted to unite with Kamakya Devi.

So she said, build a road up my mountain before the car cross.

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

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

So he was sweating and endeavoring very hard to build this stone road. And that hunt he was just at the last stone and then just at that time the cock crowed. So.

On the hill.

But.

Here.

So up the hill there is a low road. But he couldn't complete it in time. 8. Charity of God the construction of bathing places in a river or pond for public use is called charity of God. There is. There is much more piety if a resting place, garden shelter, roofing and a temple on the guard. 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 so.

So we got the government through the Navami Ganga Namami Ganga project to build the bathing guard here in Mayapur. They wouldn't build or. Or put a temple there because in.

The old man is non sectarian.

Sectarian because Indian government is non sectarian.

When they finish the hand over dots, 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. It is piety. 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. 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 of the delicious food to others. Today they gave me noodles for breakfast.

Noodles were made from soya.

But the noodles were made from soya.

It 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 brought a bowl of edible noodles and arepa is a Colombian Venezuelan special.

So I was told I was caught. Why.

So I was told that it was cooked by two of my Spanish disciples.

And how they.

So indirectly I ended up having their prasadam Ojaswini and Ishwari Devi. They prepared the prasad. Are they here? So you can tell them that I mentioned them. 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 went to a house of a life member.

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 and.

You.

Know, she was dressed kill.

She was dressed to kill.

Anyway, it's the duty of the father to see that his daughter can marry.

So anyway, it is the duty of the father to see that his daughter gets married.

Sometimes having 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. Okay. 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 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 honest suddenly.

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

House of the journey to feed we will.

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

The household right till 2:30 call out.

So a householder can wait till 2:30 and call out and most people would have eaten by 2:30. And if one has not eaten by 2:30 then he's really hungry.

The only time that Americans something to.

Eat in North Halloween day in New Orleans. The only day that the Americans give something to eat.

A lot of time is my kids come and say take 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. On the door.

And they throw some garbage or something at the door and so on, right? So one foreigner, he gave on Halloween day, trick or treat. The guy thought he was a dangerous person.

You are freeze.

So he called the police.

He yelled out please.

So he yelled out, please.

Stop in your tracks.

So that's way, that's a way of saying stop in your tracks. But this foreigner, he did not understand the saying. So he let him. He let him. He let him come in. So he kept coming up and the guy, household and the guy, the house show. The householder shot him dead.

He was coming to get some candy.

He was coming to get some candy. So. But he got shot to death. It was in the newspaper.

At that time.

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 4 types. Purity. Purity is of 4 types. Namely personal cleanliness. 2. Cleaning road, Ghat Cleaning road, ghat, cowshed shop, personal house, temples of deities. 3. Cleansing the forest. 4. Cleansing places of pilgrimage. Bhaktivino Thakur has given details.

What are the four kinds?

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's 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 Praya Chitta. 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.

In one sense. But because of all my medication I can't observe.

Because of my medication and all these things, I cannot observe a full fast on Ekadashi. 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 Ekadasi. And so many sins are washed away.

Just by hearing.

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

I mentioned one class that one of the two.

I mentioned in one class how one of the two contestants for the American presidentship was Kamala Harris. Kamala is the name of Radharani and Harris. Hari is the name of Lord Hari.

Everyone.

So everyone in the Democratic party glorifies Kamala Harris. 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 Bhas. But they must be getting some sukriti from such uttering the names. Okay, 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.

He got rid of more sins.

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.

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 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 waterliness. So here Shila Bhakti Vinod Thakur has mentioned internal cleanliness and external cleanliness. So if we touch stool, urine etc, we should wash ourselves with water. Okay. The end. Today was my dialysis day.

I leave me a little tired.

So that leaves me a little tired. So you. So should I ask any questions?

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?

If they have delegated their life.

To.

Krishna, you don't owe anything to 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.

It'S not particularly.

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 who?

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

What?

Khali surrendered.

But Kali surrendered to Parikshit Maharaj. So the Kshatriya doesn't try to punish someone who has surrendered.

Kali asked.

So Kali asked for some place to stay. So he gave him these four places.

Kingdom.

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. But then Parishit Maharaj said you can stay in those places where there is.

Gold.

Holding of gold. Holding, piling up of gold, hoarding. H O A R D I N G so. So where people hold the horde gold, the all these sinful activities, they go on there. Thank you all. See you tomorrow.
