20241113 - Anartha-vicāra

I saw the deities. By the way, every day we are supposed to offer some things to Krishna. Are you all offering?

First day was.

First day was lotus. Today it was bilver leaf.

You go up all the animal dries there that will produce the thing and take the water.

So what you can do is get this Bilbao leaf and you go to the Pujari and give it to them and they'll offer it to Radha Madhava. You can get it from the bog Bandar and give it to the Pujaris. And they would offer it to Radha Madhava.

So they sat. I was tired, I had to take rest.

And so they said that I was tired and I should take some rest.

But I went to the Gita Bhavan.

But then I went to the Gita.

Bhavan and my potatoes.

Had my potatoes and things.

And.

On the third level, so I'm doing. I'm on the third level.

So I'm taking Hoshanna.

So I'm taking havishana and fruits and roots.

I gave that.

And then I came back. I took rest and then attended the GBC meeting.

5 to 6:30.

5 to 6:30. And then I took a shower. And then I went and took rest.

After taking some medicine.

After taking some medicine, having like. What's that?

I have a bandage.

Oh, okay. I have a bandaged cannula over here. So I take medicines through that. They are taken out. The cannula was taken out last year.

And I'm here.

And I woke up and I'm here to give class. Gurma Rajaki. Okay, so reading from Sri Chaitanya Sikh Shamrita. So today we are starting with a new third shower. Consideration of secondary rules. Third stream Anarta Vichar. The five types of devotional service mentioned earlier are duties for the Vaidi bhaktas. To perform these duties, it is essential to abandon certain prohibited behaviors that obstruct them. There are 10 kinds of forbidden behaviors. So.

Here standing what things we have to do.

So here Shlabakti Venattakur explains what things we have to do in Vaidi bhakti. There are five things.

There are 10 kinds of forbidden behaviors.

There are 10 kinds of forbidden behaviors which obstruct our devotional service literature. That is a useless waste of time. In other words, other words, literature without spiritual benefit should be rejected. One should not become a professional teacher as a means of earning one's livelihood. Nor should one indulge in arguments and counter arguments. Nor should one take shelter of any cause of faction. A sanyasi must not present allurements of material benefits to gather many disciples. Nor should he unnecessarily read many books or give discourses as a means of livelihood. He must never attempt to increase material opulences unnecessarily. So Srila Prabhupada gave me an instruction to take Indian citizenship. So in order to get Indian citizenship you have to know one of the Indian languages.

I thought.

Hi. So I learned Bengali.

When I was a teacher. I came and taught me.

There was a teacher that came and taught me.

And he didn't have all his teeth.

What's that?

He didn't have all his teeth.

Oh, he didn't have all his teeth.

And he wrote pronounce the letters very strongly.

He would pronounce the letters very strongly.

Short letters and long letters.

So in Bengali there are short letters and long letters. The short letters are called hushva and.

Long letters are called dirga.

And the long letters are called dhirgah. So when I is a short. Now you would say Ashwa e. Ashwa e. His saliva would come out from his mouth and splat on me. Splash on me. Sorry. So.

I wasn't. I had to read books which were not about spirituality.

I had to read books to learn about spirituality.

I had to read books which taught me the language.

Which taught me the language.

So the fact that I went to a school.

The fact that I went to the school to learn Bengali. So instead actually he came to the temple.

Especially I was in his school.

But especially I was in his school.

So I filled out my citizenship.

So with that I filled up my citizenship. Paper.

Application.

Application that I've learned Bengali and I went to the school. First is association with Bahi Mukhajana. A person influenced by external energy. A mundane person.

Turning away from people.

Those who are Bahir Mukh. It means they are turning their faces away from Krishna. Okay. One should gradually become detached from affection to his wife and children. Exactly like a man awakening from a dream. So we have seen many families visiting Mayapur. Husband, wife and their kids.

Also.

The devotees, they are also married, have kids.

These are not ordinary people.

So Prabhupada saying, these are not ordinary people.

They're given the name Das Adhikari.

They are given the name Das Adhikari. So.

What difference is that? These Krishna conscious families are charged with.

The difference is this Krishna conscious family. They try to please Krishna. Attachment number two. It's attachment. There's no explanation. Third is great grand endeavors. Fourth, extensive practice of arts and arguments. Fifth, miserliness. There's a quotation.

They'Re attached to material things.

Being attached to material things, it's not good. It's not good.

They're older and taller.

If you over endeavor to reach something material so.

One tries for someone.

One tries for something material with great endeavor, with no spiritual purpose then that's an obstacle. But we are building the T O V P which is a grand endeavor to build the biggest temple in the world more or less and serve Krishna. So we are just doing it for Krishna. We want to do something great.

We want to hear someone doing it.

We are doing it for Krishna. Someone else might be doing it making skyscraper buildings.

What? For what?

That could be a great endeavor. But for what? Someone building a scrapper.

Practice of arts.

Krishna. Krishna. Krishna Gopala Govinda, Ram Shimadana.

Holy.

Ghuram Dina that's it.

If you don't do things for Krishna.

If you don't do things for Krishna.

Like some devote practice martial arts There.

Are some people who practice martial arts and other people practice debates. If that isn't for some Krishna conscious reason, it could be an obstacle. It can be an obstacle.

Miserliness.

Miserliness. A devotee usually gives a lot of charity out. If one is miser, then he's missing the good part of devotional service. Okay, A note From Srimad Bhagavatam 7.9.4 T. My dear Lord, O infallible one. My position is like that of a person who has many wives all trying to attract him their own way. For example, the tongue is attracted to palatable dishes the genitals to sex with attractive women and the sense of touch to contact with soft things. The belly, although filled, still wants filled still wants to eat more. And the ears, not attempting to hear about you is generally attacked to cinema songs. The sense of smell is attracted to yet another sight. The restless eyes are attracted to scenes of sense gratification and the active senses are attracted elsewhere in this way I am certainly embarrassed.

Is mostly.

So Sannyasi is supposed to be a go. Swami means controller Guru means senses Swami means controller.

Heart is one dozen control the senses.

If one doesn't control the senses then he is a Godasa. We find in the Chaitanya Chaitam by chanting loudly Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna.

One.

Is able to bring the senses under control.

One is able to bring the senses under control. The chanting is very powerful and by Lord Chaitanya's mercy we can chant in this age and.

We can use hearts and.

And we can use all our senses. In Krishna's service the tongue can be used to Eat Ka Prasad, Use the genitals to produce Krishna conscious child children. So we can take the flowers offered to Krishna and what? Because they are soft, we can hear the chanting. We can hear the classes and not hear about other things.

So our prayer is all in our consensus.

So this prayer is mentioned that the senses are attracted to other places.

So practice Bhakti Yoga. We have to engage the senses and Ka Consciousness.

So to practice Bhakti Yoga we have to engage our senses in Ka consciousness.

Bhakti Yoga is considered topmost yoga.

Bhakti Yoga is considered as the topmost yoga. But it requires effort.

The Lord is come here with special visas.

I was thinking that many foreign devotees come here with special visas.

We want them to be conscious Krishna Consciousness.

We want them to practice Ka Consciousness. Many devotees from all around India, they also visit Mayapur.

So we want them all to practice Bhakti Yoga.

We want them all to practice Bhakti Yoga.

With the nine islands.

Shrimati Radharani made the Navadeva Dam with the nine islands so that everybody can.

Practice.

So that everybody can practice Bhakti Yoga. How many have downloaded the Mayapur app?

Time for your dinner.

Potato. Okay. Guru Mas, please give them your special Bhishma Panchaka blessings. Krishnir Matirasta Madhavasaki Vrinda Mayapur Chandra Ki Shrishi Panchatatwaki Sri Krishna Dev time.

Dear devotees, those who are physically present here, there is a physical book table to the left of you near the gate. Please do visit. It is Guru Maharaj personal physical book table. And Guru Maharaj has a special offer which lasts for only two more days that you can sponsor 30 Bhagavad Gita which means one Bhagavad Gita. One day during this Kartik month and you will get 100 into 1000 times spiritual benefit for each day of this Karthik month. Within these two days, the last two days are left out and Srila Prabhupada quotes. Srila Prabhupada wrote to Damodar on 1-9-1973. Now tax your brain to create programs for engaging wider and wider classes of the population in Krishna Consciousness. All of you please do download the Mayapur app. Those who are using Samsung using your Play store and those who are using iPhone using your app Store, please download the Mayapur app that will help you water all there in and around Maypur here and it can also route you or give you the indication where are all the restaurants, where all the important places that you have to visit here every details will be there. So please do go through that Mayapur app and give us feedback whether it helps you. If a newcomer is there in Maypur, will he be helped by the Mayapur app? So that if he wants to go to Goshala from anywhere in the Mayaipur camp, can he go to Gosala? Is it indicated correctly? So please give us a feedback tomorrow. Guru Maharaj is eager to listen to that. Then we have. Yeah. So Srila Prabhupada asked to tax the brain. And you see his disciples, Aner Desya Vapudas who was distributing 8,000 books in a week, almost 1,000 every day. For many times he has distributed and here his own experience of taxing his brain. What he did, he visited, he says in his own words. We visited factories and industries, gathered the workers, explained to some 20, 30 people at once what these books are. In a short time we managed to meet a lot of people. They put their names on a list that mentions what books they took and how much they owe. And they sign stating that the factory or mine will hold back that amount from their wages. It can even be done in rates over two or three months. The advantage is that the person does not feel the expense. He doesn't give money personally, he just signs. But the factory immediately advances the entire amount to us. As soon as money is transferred, we deliver the books and they distribute to the people among those who are on the list. So today we have physical book table Raghav Chandra Das 2 Gita and Rasamaya Radha Ranjan Das 20 Bhagavad Gita Bhakti Moti Joshmati Devidasi 1 Bhagavad Gita Suta Deepa Devidasi 4 Bhagavad Gita Devidasi 1 Bhagavavad Gita Saikat Mo 3 Bhagavad Gita Babu Barol 1 Bhagavad Gita Mitu Bhairagi Vairagi 1 Bhagavad Gita Chitra Mahalinik Asab Devidasi 2 Bhagavad Gita Sapna Devidasi 1 Bhagabad Gita Manasi Radhika Devidasi from Kerala 2 Bhagavad Gita Sadhanandani Lakshmi Priya Devidasi from Bangalore 12 Bhagavad Gita Aswa Shena Govinda Das from USA 30 Bhagavad Gita.
