20241005 - Two types of animal husbandry and Proper Behavior

A recorded devotional discussion (Oct 2024) led by Jaya Pataka Swami with contributions from Rasika Ratika Devi Dasi and Kuru Nandan Das. The talk reads from Sri Chaitanya Sikshamrita about two types of animal husbandry (development/welfare and protection/maintenance), emphasizes cow/bull breeding and protection as pious duties, contrasts Vedic-era practices with modern slaughtering, and then shifts to duties of householders—four aspects of increasing population and a list of moral qualities (forgiveness, gratitude, truthfulness, etc.) illustrated with scriptural examples and brief comments on contemporary geopolitical tensions. The tone is devotional, instructional, and cautionary.
Reading from Sri Chaitanya Sikshamita the two types of animal husbandry Animal is a pious act. It is of two types namely development and welfare of animal. Number two, Protection and maintenance of animal. It is the duty to develop all kinds of useful animals without the help of animals. The work of the world does not run well. So care should be taken to improve the shape, strength and nature of the animals.
To improve the shape, strength and nature of the animals. Oh, sorry. They strive and develop if they are placed in some special condition and their race is nourished through suitable mating of male and female. To improve the cow breed above all other animals is a necessary duty. With their help, the agricultural work and the bringing and sending of goods can be done well through strong and beautiful bulls. And the cows should be produced should produce offspring. It is with this intention that younger bulls are released from. Bulls are released from karma on the occasion of honoring the death dead During Shraddha free roaming. Younger bulls become very large and strong and become fit to be fathers. And strong cow bred as animals benefit the world. They should be nurtured and protected with food and shelter. Cow maintenance and cow protection work is known as a special piety producing work in India. That's it. That's another section. So now in the modern days, they don't do any protection. They are kept and they produce milk. And when they stop giving milk, they are sent to the slaughterhouse. In the vedic times, the animals were being protected.
Especially the hounds and wolves.
Especially the cows and the bulls.
Falling animals are used.
The only animal we used for food were the goats.
Wow.
I kill you now, but in the future you can kill me.
We will not know.
People don't know what they're saying.
Her role, right?
So.
But if you understand, it's very fearful, right? Sanskrit word for meat.
I heal you. You can tell me.
So Mom. Sa.
Mom is me. Sa is you. That means I can kill you. And you. You can kill me.
Hating, Cruelizing the animals. This journal has worked.
Protecting, mating and utilizing the animals are considered as pious work. There's no indication of any slaughtering now. Now of course people use tractors. The act of increasing the population is four types. Namely procreation of children by lawful wet law. Nurturing and protecting the born children. Third, making children family worthy. Fourth, teaching children the ultimate goal of spirituality. After marrying a suitable bride at the age of. At a suitable age, they will lead a family in harmony with each other According to the rules and rules of protecting the health of body and mind. As mentioned in the Shastra One who desires to establish family life should marry a wife of his own caste who is beyond reproach and younger in age. One desire to accept many wives. He must marry them after the first marriage. And each wife should be successively lower caste. Of a lower caste, a son and a daughter will be born in a God in it will be born in it by God's will. Should carefully maintain and protect the offspring produced gradually. Give them instructions for education and other activities when they grow up. Teach them how to earn money when they are of suitable age, take care to give them in marriage, making them grahestas the appropriate age. Teach the children bodily rules, religious principles and paramatma, tattva, spiritual truth. In all these activities, one should personally learn detachment. As mentioned in the Rmad Bhagavatam. A householder should comfortably maintain his dependence either with money that comes of its own accord or with that gathered by honest execution of one's duties. According to one's means. One should perform sacrifices and other religious ceremonies. A householder taking care of many dependent family members should not become materially attached to them, nor should he become mentally unbalanced, considering himself to be the Lord. An intelligent householder should see that all possible future happiness, just like that which he has already experienced, is temporary. The association of children, wives, relatives and friends is just like a brief meeting of travelers. With each change of body, one is separated from all such associates. Just as one loses one's object and possesses in a dream. When the dream is over, deeply considering the actual situation, a liberated soul should leave at home just like a gas, without any sense of proprietorship or false ego. In this way he will not be bound or entangled by domestic affairs. A household devotee who worships me for execution of his family duties may remain at home, go to a holy place, or if he has responsible son, take sannyas. That's it.
Other section.
The next. The next part is in another section. So we know that Bhakti Vinath Thakur wanted to take sannyas.
But.
Allah the Lord is said, you are so strict, you already have sannyas.
But the other devotees say, you are so strict in your grasp Ashram. So it is like you are already a sannyas. Already a Sannyas. So in 1973 in London.
Told his.
Girls the difficulties he lost all of.
Them.
That he wants all of them to be part of himself.
His guru was Acharya.
His guru was Acharya. His guru was in Acharya. Cause Bhakti Vinant Thakur had a child who was in Acharya.
So you honor all the astros to make Acharyas.
So he told the Grandestas that their.
Children should be Acharyasa means you're always Krishna conscious. I'm Krishna.
Everything you do, you do it for the pleasure of Krishna.
And.
Standing in Kayunga is not to accept sannyas but to be rehearsal. And do that with these four purposes. Procreation of children by lawful wet law. Nurturing and protecting the bond upon children. Making children children family worthy. Teaching children the ultimate goal of spiritual. So Bhakti Vila Thakur and Srila Prabhupada in London they were preaching that the Grahasta should be very Krishna conscious. Proper behavior, forgiveness, gratitude, truthfulness, simplicity, not stealing, non acceptance, kindness, detachment, respecting the Shastra pilgrimage, proper judgment, etiquette, worshiping the Lord. State firstness in one's qualification. State fastness in one's qualification. Yeah, yeah. Now you go one by one. So Guru Maharaj Bhaktiwala Thakur has elaborated in each of those qualities. So shall I read all of them together? I'll read one and you'll explain one.
I think one.
Okay, you'll explain.
Okay.
First one. Forgiveness. Giving up desire to punish someone when they commit an offense is called forgiveness. Punishing an offender is not unjust, but pardoning is a higher justice than that. Prahlad and Haridas Thakur are worshipped as ideals of the world by forgiving their enemies. Well.
Is in a very endless situation right now.
We are seeing very dangerous situations.
But Israel has killed some of the.
Leaders.
So Israel has killed some of the leaders of the Farsi group of Iraq.
Iran.
And Iran said I will punish you for your offense. No, forgiveness is not an issue.
Israel, Iran, you attack me, I'll attack you.
And Israel said to Iran, if you attack me, I'll attack you.
And then Russia has said that if you allow Muslims to go under Russia. Finally.
Russia said if you allow missiles to enter Russia then I would change my stand on nuclear weapon. So we are in a very dangerous.
Time.
Because we're in my sun whistles.
Into Russia.
That's not on Josh. Because Russia has been sending running missiles into Ukraine.
That's not unjust because Russia has been sending many missiles into Ukraine.
But.
But forgiveness is a higher principle.
Nobody is thinking about forgiveness.
But nobody is thinking about forgiveness. So.
So very dangerous time.
It's a very dangerous time. Why did you say Gurmaj wars?
Where Counter wars. Wars.
There would be wars. Counter wars. Punishing an offender is not unjust.
It's not unjust but piety is a higher justice.
But forgiving is a higher justice. So.
Talking about forgiveness.
No one is talking about forgiveness.
Only talking about war.
You're only talking about war. Okay, can I go to the next one? Gratitude. Wow.
Where Is all your 200 devotees?
Where is all your 200 devotees? That's what I was told by Srivaspan Prabhu. There are 200 devotees. You said that to me?
So many devotees.
Always.
I don't know, maybe it's still locked or what.
Always acknowledging someone's favor. It's okay. It's okay. It's all right. Always acknowledging someone's favor is called gratitude. Aryans are so grateful that they serve their parents as long as they can. During their lifetime. When the parents die, accepting the hardship of impurity due to their death, giving up the pleasure of sleeping and eating food and performing their Shraddha with charity and feeding again year after year, they express their gratitude to the parents by paying homage to them in the form of Shraddha Tarpana. Acknowledging gratitude towards everyone is a piety.
He do the Bhishma Panchak.
So we do the Bhishma Panchaka.
He was a Brahmachari.
So he was a Brahmachari.
So we do the Tarpana et cetera for him as Ramajana.
So we do the Tarpana for him. Because he was a Brahmachari.
And I was offered in the morning dropping his big apple.
I was off today. I was offered in the morning a big Japanese apple in the afternoon. In the evening Sankirtaneshwar offered me four more. So I have to express my gratitude.
So.
Even though it's your attitude that's considered very good.
So if someone expresses his gratitude, incidentally that's also considered very good. Truthfulness. Speaking that which can be believed to be true is called truthfulness. Truthful men are pious persons and worshiped in the world.
Like all this I noticed here he was known as a Satyavadi.
So Yudhishthir Maharaji was known as the Satyavadi.
He would always say the truth.
He would always say the truth.
So Krishna told him to say Astana has wrong.
So Krishna told him to say that Ashwathama has fallen.
But he knew that Ashtama was still alive.
But he knew that Ashtama was still alive.
He hesitated.
So he hesitated. Then Krishna told him Ashwathama, the elephant has died. And then he said Ashwathama, then elephant has died.
So but because he was always Judah, his chariot was above the ground.
Because he was always Truthful. His chariot was above the ground.
When he hesitated to follow Krishna, his chariot hit the ground.
But when he hesitated to follow Krishna, his chariot hit the ground also. Then Krishna said, ashwathama, the elephant has died. And then his chariot came back up.
Cannot tolerate a liar.
It says that Earth Prithvi Devi cannot tolerate a liar.
Always speaking of truth is a biased act.
So Always speaking the truth is a biased act. So that's the end today. Good my Raj. That's like Hare Krishna. Dearest Guru Maharaj, please accept our respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.
