The following is a Shri Caitanya Shikshamita class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on November 11, 2024 in Sri Ramayapur.

Hi Krishna. Today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita. Please title this Giving of the association of those inimical to Krishna. Those who are completely deceitful, consider them as inimical to Ka and abandon them. They are considered as inimical towards Krishna and to be abandoned as mentioned in rmad bhagavatam 11:26 26 an intelligent person should therefore reject mole bad association and instead take up the association of saintly devotees. Those words cut off the excessive attachment of one's mind. Real Vaishnava Seva and Respect to a general Vaishnava towards those who are simple there are two types of conduct, service and respect. When you meet a true Vaishnava, you should associate intimately and serve them intimately. Respect all people related as general Vaishnavas. Respect is certainly shown in the form of external service. So it's advised here to give up all that association. People who doesn't show proper Vaishnava dealings so don't take bad association and one should try to take association of the saintly people. So there are two types of conduct, service and respect. So when you meet a true Vaishnava, you associate them with associate with them, intimate with and serve family. If you associate with someone who's generally a Vaishnava.

Serve them.

Serve them and show them general respect. Three Types of General Vaishnavas those who are favorable to Vaishnava can be categorized into three. First, those who consider Vaishnava philosophy the but does not perform themselves. Second, those who took up Vaishnava signs of appearance but are not real Vaishnavas but have respect for Vaishnavas. Third, those who are born into the family of Vaishnava Acharya and have adopted Vaishnava science and take pride in it, but they themselves are not mere Vaishnavas.

So.

Without.

Degrees I suffer.

So these are all devotees to different degrees except by Shadarma.

Artists.

But don't actually practice Vaishnava Dharma.

So these are clear examples of Vaishnava.

So these are three examples. Those who respect Vaishnava Dharma those who are born in the family of Vaishnavacharyas, those who have adopted Vaiava signs like Tilak and.

Rather.

We are proud of their practicing of Vaishnava Dharma.

Are not.

Real Vaishnavas and they are not real Vaishnavas.

Always.

All these three, they say they are not real Vaishnavas. Second one, you say we have respect for Vaishnavas.

Certainly Eisenhower philosophy.

First one they said, you consider the rational philosophy the best. Do not put it into practice.

How all this looks is form.

So we have these different standards. Some showing the Vaishnava signs Achars. But they don't believe that Krishna is Salam Bonath. Real Vaishnavism is measured by the degree of pure Ka Bhakti and the capacity to inspire or empower others. As far as one's devotion has become pure and deep and develop capacity to inspire others by empowering them, one has to become real Vaishnava. To that extent, if a teach of pure Ka Bhakti arises in the heart of a devotee, then real Vaishnavism is obtained.

I learned how to practice.

One second. Let us switch on the mic. Can you hear now? Can you please repeat? Hi Krishna, can you hear me? Could you please repeat yourself?

Realizing those people, those who are real.

Vaishnavas, they are inspired to practice real Vaishnavism. Bhakti is destroyed in association of a pretender. Thus, the kind of association in respect towards Vaishnava and people favorable to Vaishnava is delineated here. Therefore, person who is not a Vaishnava but is associated for respect in the consciousness of a Vaishnava. Therefore, person who is not a Vaishnava but is associated or expected in the Vaishnava consciousness as a Vaishnava. Then once Bhakti is destroyed, as mentioned in nature of devotion, one should mentally honor the devotee who chants the holy name of Lord Krishna. One should offer humble obeisances to the devotee who has undergone spiritual initiation Diksha and is engaged in worshipping the deity.

So.

And one should associate with and faithfully serve that pure devotee whose advanced and Ka conscience. Oh, sorry. Undeviated devotional service and whose heart is completely devoid of all. Sorry, devoid of the propensity to criticize others. Regardless.

Someone respect.

So there are three qualities of someone who is worthy of respect. One who likes to perform pure devotional service heart. One who's devoid of the propensity to criticize others. One who chants Hare Krishna and has undergone the spiritual initiation Diksha and is engaged in worshipping the deity. So we see here how important it is to have Diksha.

And.

To follow it properly.

So people will ionize.

So that people will recognize you as devotees. Is appearing as a Vaishnava who's taking pride to be in Vaishnava attire but not a real Vaiava must be avoided. Next, reading deceitful or false Vaishnava. First, those who wear Vaishnava marks for cheating. Second, those who identify themselves as the follower of the Vaishnava Crya for the purpose of introducing Advaita philosophy, impersonalist philosophy to the Vaishnava. Third, albeit the philosophy is the impersonalism. So someone was crossing the Ganges and one monk, he was also coming on the same boat. He had nightmares.

Hand boobs and arm tools.

But the nightmares were on. Tulisies saw the small and so he saw them. So he saw him on the door. So someone complained putting water in your mouth.

I swear on my knees I live with any water.

I swear on my beaks that I didn't put any water in my mouth. Guru, they can't hear you.

I swear on my beads.

I swear on my beads that I didn't put any water in my mouth.

I stopped mouthwear.

So then the devotee saw that the madman was putting milk in the water. So he took the milk out and put it in the pot. Water in the pot and was adding milk to the water.

Oh, he didn't put any water in the mouth.

So he didn't put any water in the milk.

There's water.

So he put a milk in the water. The people in India, these petty people, they are very expert. Third, those who characterize themselves as Vaishnavas to gain money, fame or any other material faiths.

There'S three ways that people has not attire.

So these are three ways that people misused Vaishnava attire. As a part of secondary rules. It is mentioned to respect all human beings. And so accordingly, everyone is to be respected. They are not considered within Vaishnava society. Those who are currently associated with Vaishnavas with their pure devotee can also become suitable companions of pure devotee, pure Vaishnavas. So someone was telling me Prabhupada was going somewhere and someone was telling him to Srila Prabhupada that this devotee is criticizing him and this devotee is doing something wrong. Prabhupada said stop. Prabhupada said stop. There is only one devotee here. That's Me, I see. Material family. Shall I stop here? Material family and Vaishnava family. One should not have deep conversation with anyone than similar nature of devotee other than similar nature of devotees. As mentioned In Haribhakti Sidodaya 8.51, one develops qualities similar to those whom one associates. Like jewel picking up colors according to its surroundings. The wise man will therefore take shelter of those of superior quality in order to raise his own qualities. In regard to increasing the Vaishnava population, do not have any other association other than devotees. One should give proper training to wife in Vaishnava philosophy as much as possible and make sure she gets initiated. It is a great fortune that one gets a Vaishnavi wife in raising a family. If one begates a child with a Vaishnava wife then there is no question of materialism. Parents should understand that the child born is a servant of the Lord and must be happy at increasing the Vaishnava population.

Other than life gain lies out children long way of increasing life.

Vaishnava husband and wife becoming Vaishnava children is one way of increasing the Vaishnava population. Somehow or other we need to increase Vaishnavas in the world. So preaching is sorry. Preaching is one way of increasing. He advised on children and also be gaining Vaishnava children. So for that you need a Krishna conscious wife or a Krishna conscious husband. If your wife is not initiated, then she should be initiated. So we heard about one family. The husband is initiated but the wife eats onion and Dalit. So it's important for both husband and wife to be Vaishnavas for pure devotees.

So this is a tower.

So this is biomarker. So he goes into detail. Who's the Vaishnava? Who's the devotee? Pure devotee. So here he says the child born is a servant of the Lord.

Allah also Heroes of Light.

The Prabhupada also even advising the devotees also should should value their children. As.
