20241024- First Stream — Sudden process part2

We understand English.

Yes.

Yes.

They understand.

How many understand English?

Okay.

Those who took shelter in me though merchant and Shivras workers can attain the supreme destination. Having come to this country, everyone is recommended to you.

So this reminds me in the 9th canto 1 per says but.

Service. Various symptoms of growth for adverse types of devotion gradual and sudden will also be observed in Bhakti. General symptoms of Bhakti is to develop a desire other than the nourishment of one's own function.

So some people.

Activities.

Ghana. The cyclone is supposed to make landfall every midnight.

Where Santa.

Hot.

There's wind and some rain.

So there's some wind in.

I think all around there was rain today. I just thought that people should be careful tomorrow morning.

So you should be careful tomorrow morning switching off by itself.

I don't know how much it'll affect us.

I don't know how much it would affect us. But.

There is a cyclone.

But there is a cyclone.

Yes. Sometimes you get affected.

Sometimes we get affected.

More often we get affected by the technical problems.

More often we get affected by the technical problems.

Nice thing.

Next thing. Yeah. Yes.

Yes.

As mentioned in the Bhakti, when first class devotional service develops, one must one must be devoid of all material desires. Knowledge obtained by monistic philosophy and fruitive action. The devotee must constantly serve Ka favorably as Krishna desires. This means that practice itself is the form of devotion. The practice of God on the path of Karma is considered Varnasrama Dharma system is moral action, not devotion. Since morality is the Lord there and the function of subordination to God is there. As the servant of that morality who is the Lord. The impersonal Brahman considered on the path of Jnana is the practice of dry knowledge. In that Jnana is the master and obedience to God is the master of obedience to God is this to God is the slave. This is not devotion. Therefore, practicing the service to God is Bhakti.

Sung as the unrivalled role.

She is.

Piety by performing personal service to improve their karma.

So some people have some primary goal which is included in piety. By performing devotional service, they want to increase their good karma.

Performance.

Someone may be performing some type of Jnana Yoga.

See the impersonal realization.

Worship the impersonal realization.

Paul.

Paul.

They're not really brought in. Volunteer. That is not.

Says that it's not devotion.

Only thing that is nine practices about Yoga.

The only thing that's devotional is the nine practices of Bhakti Yoga without any other desires.

How you want to serve Krishna. And we do that by serving the Guru.

So we want to serve Krishna. And we can do that by serving the Guru.

We cannot see all the.

So by.

Serving Srila Prabhupada we can achieve Krishna. The senses are symbolic representations of the demigods. And their natural inclination is to work under the direction of the Vedic injunctions. As the senses are representatives of the demigods, so the mind is the representative of the supreme personality of Godhead. The mind's natural duty is to serve when that service spirit is engaged in devotional service to the personality of Godhead without any motive, that is far better even than salvation. Bhakti devotional service dissolves the subtle body of the living entity without separate effort, just as fire in the stomach digests all that we eat. This is quoted From Srimad Bhagavatam 3:25:32-33. The practice should be always favorable. Practice may also be unfavourable. It is not Bhakti like Bhakti. Yoga should be practiced by adopting life favourable to Bhakti. Karma, relation with the body of the living entities existing in the world of inevitable and Jnana. To discriminate between matter and spirit is also inevitable that Bhakti. But Bhakti is not there in the place where gross Karma and Gyana cover the practice of service to God. Wherever subordination to God gains mastery Karma and Gyana, then the existence of Bhakti can be accepted.

You want to serve Krishna.

So as our primary thing, we want to serve Krishna.

Krishna came down.

How did Da Krishna came down to Navadep Dham?

He combined with Radharani.

He combined with Radharani and he came as Lord Chaitanya. He became a devotee and wanted to experience the ecstasy of being a devotee.

His past times while traveling and in Janagpuri sometimes reached the.

Lear. His pastime traveling and in Jagannath Puri sometimes reached the remits of devotional service.

And he was experiencing great ecstasy.

And he was experiencing great ecstasy.

So he wants to give that clearly conditioned souls and he wants to give.

That freely to the conditioned souls.

We hope that everybody tries to void.

So we want everybody tries for pure Bhakti. A devotee practicing Vaidipakti will consider practice of service to God as the main task of life. They are always favorably engaged in the practice of service to God. They do not practice it motivated by fear hatred, but practice it with love. This is called Anu Kulya. While maintaining the body during the execution of Varnasrama Dharma by the core Principle of this dharma. They do not give any dominion over the practice of service to God, but rather keep this dharma as an attendant of bad practice and have moral behavior. Similarly, whatever cultivation of knowledge one does in order to clearly understand that the atma soul is beyond matter and pure consciousness, keep earl cultivation of knowledge as servants of practicing service to God. Do not in any way give up those cultivation of knowledge mastery over the practice of service to God. Whatever work one does in the material world by this work and discrimination, do not aspire for anything else other than the improvement of bhakti. Such is the life of a devotee practicing vaiv bhakti.

This sucks how the devotee puts vaidi bhakti as a golden life.

So this section of Bhakti Vinod Thakur explains how the devotees puts devotee puts vaidi bhakti as the goal of life.

Just engaged service.

So he's just engaged in the service of the deity.

Actually.

So that should be our goal.

Yeah. Fixed serving the Lord.

Fixed in serving the Lord. And we have no other purpose. And he has no other purpose.

So one wants liberation or one wants so material then of it.

If one wants liberation or if one wants a material benefit that's not bhakti then that's not bhakti.

It's a desire of liberation. Desire of jail benefits.

It's desire for liberation or desire for material benefits.

Go to the health of the planets and say they are dying. Then you have to write down if.

You go to the heavenly planet, you can stay there for some time and then you have to come down again.

That's very wonderful hotel.

It's like a very wonderful hotel.

Stay there as long as you pay.

You can stay there as long as you pay. But when you run out of money. Goodbye. See you again.

Results.

So Karma and Ghana are not giving permanent result.

Permanent result.

But that can give permanent result.

How? Even if offered.

So now even if a bhakta is.

Offered some kind of liberation, some kind.

Of liberation, you didn't accept Sayuja one.

Of the other operations.

If he's offered one of the other.

Liberations, it doesn't.

Change.

If it doesn't contain devotional service to Krishna, then the devotees are not interested. They want to serve the Lord. So today is the appearance day of sh.

That's right. Dear to what Haro?

That's very dear to Lord Madhava.

Okay. Swimming.

That's not a place to go for swimming.

All that. Just either take a lotion or gift or something, put it on your head.

You go there either Take ablution or a dip or something. Take some water and put it on.

Your head on a table.

People do Achaman and then Puja and some people go and take a dip and then come back.

It's not swimming around or playing here.

So it's not for swimming around or playing or not for things playing or anything. Between Ravakun and Shamakun there is a pathway. And.

You hear the past time the Krishna.

So we hear the pastime between Krishna and Radharani.

There's nothing. Oh.

Krishna liberated a demon. Arishtasura.

Said, now you kill the cow, you kill the wolf.

So now you killed a cow or killed a bull.

You are contaminated.

What's that? Don't come close. Sorry.

Krishna to the test.

Hello. For Krishna put Krishna to the test.

And he called all the holy places holy rivers and Ra.

So he called all the holy places in holy river and filled up Shamakan.

He said, salon, I take bath here and I'm purified.

He said, so I take bath here and I'm purified.

That Paharani held all the goldies to excate.

And then Radharani told the Gopis to excavate Radhakun.

And.

Then.

Pull it out by calling a canal the water from Sh.

So Krishna said, you can fill it up by cutting a canal and having the water from Shamakum.

The holy place is already there.

All the holy places are already there.

But Ra, she want a circus.

Radharani, she want to serve Krishna.

She don't want to take service from Krishna.

She don't want to take service from Krishna.

Sahasi saying, and I'll have the goldies take the water from the celestial Ganges.

So she was thinking, I'll have the Gopis to take water from the celestial Ganges. Manasikanga. And.

Then all the holy places, all the holy rivers, etc. Came out in the personified form.

And then all the holy rivers came out in the in their person personified forms.

And they read that they could serve her.

And then they begged Radharani that they could serve her.

And she that's all right.

So she asked Lalita Devi and she said, all right.

So then I got Shamagon entered and.

Then like that, Shamukun entered Radhakun.

And that where Radhakkund was more so.

In that way Radhakuna is more.

There. Radharani and Krishna.

So there Radharani bathed and Krishna bathed. And they have their water spots or whatever it is.

So.

Agunda is a great sacrifice.

Radhakunda is a very sacred place.

It's A lot smaller than Shanghun.

It's smaller than Shamakund. So we have put the lotus footprints of Lord Chaitanya next to the Radhakun.

And Shamakunda is glorified. I see the zone. I have two monitors.

Unless they have two monitors.

Not really show you who's there.

I cannot really see who's there. They cannot really show who's there. Maybe these devotees can see from Perth.

Okay.

Dear devotees, Krishna Mati Rastu from Guru Maharaj. Dear devotees, welcome to Guru Maharaj virtual book table. There's a physical book table right at the gate. Before you go out, please visit those who are physically present here and see what you can do in the service of Guru Maharaj. In this very auspicious transcendental Karthik mass. Guru Maharaj is giving an offer to his well wishers and disciples that this month you can sponsor 30 Bhagavad Gita one per day. So that you will get 1000 times benefit into hundred times. Because we are receiving it in the Mayapur and. And we will be chanting your name here. And you will receive one lakh time spiritual benefit of your one Bhagavad Gita a day in this whole month. So you can sponsor 30 Bhagavad Gita together or one every day. But we'll be announcing every day your name for that. This is a special offer from Guru Maharaj. So Srila Prabhupada wrote to Rupanua on February 14, 1973. I think your proposal for seriously organizing the college programs is first class. If this program is conducted in the proper fashion, it can be our biggest book distribution outlet. I am convinced of this Jayasla Prabhupada. So today we have Jayatha Harini Mataji on her 40th birth anniversary. She is sponsoring 40 Bhagavad Gita Haribol. And we have our Nitya Sevites especially from Kasadesh Yamuna Priya Radha Devidasi and her family. One Bhagavad Gita and 10 small books. Yamuna Priya Radha Devidasi's daughter Lee Young Hong and her family. One Bhagavad Gita and 10 small books. You see the wonderful role model the Kasadesh devotees are playing here for the whole world. Students from Gauranga Institute for Vedic Awakening Giba One Bhagavad Gita and 10 small books. Domini Devidasi and her family. One Bhagavad Gita, 10 small books. Her aunt Li Bi Zia won bhagavad Gita and 10 small books. Domini Mataji's aunt Lee Miaojia 1 bhagavad Gita and 10 Small Books. Domini Mataji's sister Lee Huijia and mother Li Yan hwan each separately one bhagavad gita and ten small books. Her friends Leon one bhagavad Gita and ten small books. And Chen Xi me. One bhagavad Gita & ten small books. We also have from us Urukrama Prabhu calling this Sundari Udwala Nithray and Diptiman one Bhagavad Gita and 10 small books. So you see here all of them are wonderfully demonstrated to the whole world that they are sponsoring 1:10 ratio. And this is exactly spells what Srila Prabhupada instruction to Guru Maharaj regarding book distribution. Thank you very much for being a role model and exemplary example in this regard. For on this wonderful auspicious month all of you are receiving 1 lakh times every day of this spiritual activities spiritual benefit. And apart from that you will also be receiving special Narasimha Puja and a few awards from Navindsi Dhammayapur and all of you devotees also please bless them by calling out Nitai Gauranga Nita. Please pause on this wonderful opportunity of participating in the pastime of Guru Maharaj in distributing Srila Prabhupada books. Even if it's a single bhagavad Gita and 10 small books 1 is to 10 ratio and do message to Guru Maharaj virtual book table WhatsApp at any time and plus 919-434-760402 and tomorrow Lord Chaitanya class may not be there. Yeah, yeah, there's no class. Guru Maharaj has announced because he has dialysis and two subsequent meetings and Saturday morning there will be Bhagavatam class in temple hall. So let's pray for the speedy and full recovery of Guru Maharaj. And also our prayers for Radha Giridari Prabhu and his family. For their well being. And our. Also our prayers for Jayathaharini Mataji's birthday. And of course our prayers include for all those who are celebrating their anniversaries today.
