20241008 - Respect according to status

Vaishnava teachers lay out a hierarchy of respect: from humans to scholars to Brahmanas to renunciates, with devotion at the top. They stress following your guru's orders above all else and emphasize devotional practice as the primary rule, citing the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam.

Today Bhakti Chaitanya Shikshamta we are continuing so Respect according to status. Respecting people according to status is a basic etiquette. This is called respect. Maria. The fault of Mahat Atikrama violation of great souls happens due to breaking the etiquette of respect leads to great guilt. Respect is to be given in the following order written below. Just as normally everyone should respect humans more respect than that should be given to the human who has the position. In this way gradually increasing the respect, devotees are to be respected more than anything else. By this rule, the respect of the Brahmana and the Vaishnava is observed everywhere. Number one, A human being is to be respected. Number two, the respect as per civilization. Number three, Respect the position within this. This is respecting king. Number four, Respect the education. Number five, Respect the good qualities. Six, Respect Varna caste within this. Within this is respecting Brahmana Respect Ashrama. Within this is respecting Sanyasi Respect devotion Within this is respecting Vaishnava. It belongs to the Vaishnava tradition. It should be understood that from respecting the position the king is honored. From respecting the education the scholars are honored. From respecting Varna caste, Brahmana is honored. From respecting Ashrama, Sanyasi is honored and from respecting the devotion devoted person is honored. Ijya 13. The name of Puja to the Lord is Igya. It is an action that produces piety for everyone. Among all the rules, Ijjya should be known as the main one. 14. Steadfastness is one's qualification. Adhikar Nishta. There is a difference in the form of Ijya depending on the qualification. Good deeds are pious Punya and bad deeds are sin. Karma. Akarma and Vikarma have been distinguished in the scriptures. Just the Punya Karma is Karma. That which if not done is a fault is called a Karma. The name of sin is Vikarma. Karma is of three types. Nitya, daily constant, obligatory, Naimithika, occasional ritualistic and Kamya desirable for sense gratification. Kamya Karma is to be abandoned. Nitya and Naimitika actions are to be accepted and followed. Worshipping God is Nitya Karma offering Tarpana to the Pitris and so on Nika.

But.
Some disciples went to the west. And Siddhanta Saraswati told them that they could initiate.
But some disciples went to the west and. And Bhakti Siddhanda Saraswati Thakur told them they can initiate.

All right. Says the guru of Govinda Das told them to serve Lord Chaitanya.
Since the guru of Govinda Das told him to serve Lord Chaitanya.
Then I was. I was more serious to follow the order of Guru.
Then he was more serious to follow the order of his guru Lord Chaitanya.
Then since he got that order, he accepted his service.
Since Lord Chaitanya, since he got the order of his Guru. So he accepted.

Nithya Naimatika. Actions are to be accepted and followed. Worshipping God is Nithya Karma. Offering Tarpana to the Pitrus and so on is Naimatika. We offered Tarpana to Bhishma Dev.
He was on.
So he was a Nithya Brahmachari. He had no offering of offspring, so.
He also charged him because he had no children. So we are adopting him.
