The following is a gopostomy class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on November 9, 2024 in Sridhar Mayapur, India. The class begins with a reading from the Srimad Bhagavatam 10th Canto chapter 15, verse 1.

Gustav Pashupala Samatao Ganta Sakibi Samam Padaya Mativa Shrimad Bhagavatam Canto 10, Chapter 15, Text 1 Translation and purport by his divine grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Translation Sukhadeva Goswami said When Lord Rama and Lord Krishna attained the age of Pavganda 6 to 10 while living in Vrindavan, the cowherd men allowed them to take up the task of tending the cows. Engaging thus in the company of their friends, the two boys rendered the land of Vrindavana most auspicious by imprinting upon it the marks of their lotus feet purport. Lord Krishna wanted to encourage his coward boyfriends who had been swallowed by Aghasura and then stolen by Lord Brahma. Therefore, the Lord decided to bring them into the palm tree forest called Talavana where there were many delicious ripe fruits. Since Lord Ka's spiritual body had apparently grown slightly in age and strength, the senior men of Vrindavana, headed by Nanda Maharaj, decided to promote Krishna from the task of herding calves to the status of a regular cowherd boy. He would now take care of the full grown cows, bulls and oxen out of great affection. Nanda Maharaj had previously considered Ka too small and immature to take care of full grown cows and bulls. It is stated in the Kartika Mahatmya section of the Padmapurana Suklastami Karthiketu Smrita Gopashtami Buddhay Taddinath Vasudevo Bhud Gopaha Parvamtu Vatsapah the eighth lunar day of the bright fortnight of the month of Kartika is known by authorities as Gopashtami. From that day Lord Vasudeva served as a cowherd, whereas previously he had tended the calves. The word Padayhi indicates that Lord Ka blessed the earth by walking on her surface with his lotus feet. The Lord wore no shoes or other footgear, but walked barefoot in the forest, giving great anxiety to the girls of Vrindavan who feared that his soft lotus feet would be injured.

So since the Gopis and the Radharanis are engaged in the seva of gopas, to me, I also think that most of the ladies will also be involved.

I asked Rajajar Lord Das to help them with the one time song of test.

So I told Brajeshwar Godas to help.

These devotees by doing one time summative examination. So Lord Krishna is getting so much of bliss.

He creates Ananta Koti Brahmanda.

So.

His real healthiness has Vrindavana pastimes.

But his real happiness is this Vrindavan pastime.

No, he is God.

People don't know that he is God.

He.

Says he's walking barefoot in the forest.

It says that he is walking barefoot in the forest.

Walking with him.

And all the cowherd boys they are walking with him and with the cows.

Hopefully.

Misty fall arches. One of his friends said there are very much sweet fruits in the palm forest. Dukte Ditshanashekhane. So one demon Dinukashur he is stopping everyone to go inside that forest.

So then Krishna all around are thinking to please their Vrindavan friends.

So then Krishna Balaram they are thinking to please their Vrindavan friends.

This is on the around the Gopas.

This is around the Gopas to meet day.

All around went into the forest to see what's there.

He went to the forest to see what's there.

He hugged a couple of tall trees.

He hugged a couple of tal trees.

Here we have a Maya boar.

In Mayapur we have some tall trees.

He hugged the tree and knocked down some roots.

So he hugged the tree and knocked down some fruits.

They hit the ground.

They made the sound when they hit the ground.

So that Denigra he heard that he came running so entered my forest.

So Dhenuka Sur he heard that and he came seeing who entered my forest.

Mind you, Balaram is 6 to 10 years old.

Mind you Balram is 6 to 10 years old.

This giant donkey came to attack Balaram.

This giant donkey came to attack Balaram.

Donkeys, they tend to turn around.

And the donkeys they tend to turn around and kick.

So in this way Dhanukashur, he kicked Balaram from behind.

Grabbed his feet and Spaloram fell on top of the tow road.

But Balaram he grabbed his feet, spun him around and threw him on the top of the tall trees.

He fell down and he was dead. Then the other donkeys who were accompanying Danukashur also came at an attacked. In this way Krishna and Balaram they both thrown 11 donkeys on the top of the palm trees. In this way the trees were shaking for their burden. Out of the burden and the palms were falling on the ground. In this way all the donkeys were dead.

So the devotees took the tal fruit.

Have you ever had tal fruit? It's like a jelly.

Did you ever have tal fruit? It's like a jelly.

When the tal road is right jelly.

When the tal fruit is ripe, it's like jelly.

And otherwise the tal.

Has.

What is it.

Aromatic and otherwise it's very aromatic.

So Jokon tale.

So Krishna was having fun.

So Krishna was having fun.

He was killing demons, giving fruit to his friends.

He was killing demons and giving fruits to his friends. So I don't think Dhanukasur will obstruct you from going to Goshala.

Holly, Denukha sword, others. His friends were already killed by Bharav.

Ka Dhinukasur and all his friends were already killed by Balaram and Krishna. So you can go safely to the Goshala.

All the ladies are taking initiation start around 10:30.

So the devotees who are taking initiation for them will start at around 10:30. So if they want they can see the Goshala first and then they can come. Is that this initiation is arranged by the JPS office.

JPS officer Madam Ayn Karahoviche.

I don't know what I got schedule is.

So I don't know what their exact schedule is.

I said I would say a few words about initiation.

I said I'll say few words about initiation.

And we take four vows.

And we take four vows.

Tell brother that avoid breaking the principles.

To avoid breaking the principles.

And then one chant at least 16 rounds a day.

And one vow to chant at least 16 rounds a day.

Oh, one of the vows is avoid.

Elicit sex so one of the voice is vows is to avoid illicit sex.

So those who are married, if you unite with your wife by doing the Karbhadam Samskara then that is not offensive.

So after the initiation, after the marriage then there is a Garbudham Sanskara.

So after the marriage there is a.

Garbhudana Sanskara, Vibhayt Pari, Garbhadan Shoshone.

And you can read that in the Satskria.

You can read that in Satkria.

I was written by. Oh God.

That was written by Gopala Bhatta Goswami, one of the six Goswamis.

Those who are Grihastas.

So those who are Grihastas, they have to act like a Grihasta.

Banaprashto Shanna Shikhane, Shangjam Thaktabe. See in the rest of the Ashramas, Brahmacharya, Brahmacharya, Vaanprastha and Sannyas there should be sense control.

We hope that everybody has their vows. All the Unasgetta orebs.

So we hope that all the initiated devotees follow all their vows.

Devotional service is blissful.

Because the devotional service is blissful.

So we don't have to do anything else.

So we don't need to do anything else to get happiness. So it's very nice to see so many devotees here.
