Sam Pashma Har.

Continuing our reading of by Sheila Sachin Section 4. Practicing devotional service in Relation to Matter the devotee practicing Vedipakti is not satisfied with cultivating devotion through body, mind and soul because they see the material world around them as an additional covering. They say that their body and the mind and soul within the body is a very small part of the universe and think that the entire world should also cultivate devotion to the Lord. They think that the infinite time and space and all the material forms must be used in the service of the Lord. Let my Lord dance everywhere in My sight. Let all things be engaged in his worship. Thus with a heart softened they engage in contemplation upload regarding time, space and object. So.

The devotee in my desire to see the Lord everywhere so the devotee.

May desire to see the Lord everywhere.

Don't say that.

And when he doesn't see that, he feels frustrated by the mercy of Achitanya. A devotee develops this transcendental desire. Practicing devotional service in relation to matter is of three types. 1. Cultivation using place note rhapatam 7142 Now I shall describe the places where religious performances may be well executed. Any place where a Vaishnava is available is an excellent place for all auspicious activities.

Number three cultivation using the recipient Srivabhagatam 71434 O King of the Earth. It has been decided by expert learned scholars that only the supreme personality of God at Krishna in whom all that is moving or non moving within this universe is resting and from whom everything is coming is the best person to whom everything must be given. So any day is ideal to offer something to Krishna. Next section Devotional Cultivation using place, pilgrimage and residing in sacred places 1. Traveling to Vaishnava Tirtha 2.

In.

The places where Lord's pastime are heard becoming faithful to these subjects, the devotees go to these Titas and reside there with reverence bathe in the sacred waters such as Janavi Ganga which is a nectar from the Lord's feet and the Yamuna which is devoted to the Lord's service. Visit places where the worship of the deity forms of the Lord takes place. The homes, villages and places of great devotees should always be sought by the Vaishnavas. One must visit the birthplace or residences of the associates of R. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu with great care. By residing or visiting such places one hears from the devotees about the topics of the Lord and the attraction to Ka arises. So the Bhakti Vedanta Swami Charity Trust was established by srila prabhupada in 1977 during the holy month of Karthik.

All the.

And he wanted and he wanted to secure all the residences and the holy places of the associates of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the board Mandala Bhoomi.

How many obvious places, how long have higher Savites?

Because many of these places in Bangladesh have been left by the Sevites. So we got the birthplace of Advaita Gosai, the birthplace of Sheikh and many other devotees. So I requested some devotees to try to get these places forward and they have been cooperating and so we got many of these places.

And we will.

Try to do this on Srila Prabhupada's order. We also try to establish to unite the self family association SGBA and we also established a society under the leadership under the heading of Bhakti S Natha Sashtikur it's called SGVS Association.

And we have been celebrating together the appearance and disappearance day of Srila Bhakti Sinatra Sri Thakur and Srila Bhakti vinod Thakur. Number two devotional cultivation. Using time such as honoring Hari Vasara etc. It is always advisable that time must be properly used in such cultivation. After working in the material world for two weeks, one must cultivate devotion to Hari by giving up eating and sleeping on Hari Vasra Ekadashi Tithi Observing the Niyama Seva during Urjagrata Kartik Damodar month its foremost duty, honoring the holy days of the Lord's pastimes is highly beneficial. It is very important to honor the days and titis of significant events in the lives of the great devotee. So in few days we have Tirubha festival of Srila Bhaktivedanda Swami Sri Prabhupada. So in the Karthik and Namodra we do the Niyama Seva. So minimum in every month of Chatur Mask is that we give up eating Saag Dahi, milk and Uradal and on the Ekadashiti we give up eating the grains, the pulses and cereals. Cereals? Yeah, seals and pulses. And if one wants to, one can fast on that day and and give up sleeping. Made it a little easy for us. At least one shouldn't eat grains, pulses and cereals. We just had an Ekadashi a few days ago. So after every two weeks we observe this Ekada Shikti twice a month. And that day the devotees they take a lot of potatoes and I can't take any potato anymore. I can make sweet potato day.

Stop is like holiday time place.

So in this way one can appreciate observe the special activities in association to only time, place and devotees. So it says here the end. Yeah. I was blessed today because His Holiness Radhara Swami Maharaj came to see me today. So I hope you also had his blessings today.
