Satanya Vishwaram continuing our reading of Sri Chaitanya Shikshamita by Srila Satchitran Pakni Kapoor Section 4 practicing devotional service in Relation to Matter the devotee practicing Vedipti is not satisfied with cultivating devotion to 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 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 of Lord regarding time, space and object.

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

The devotee may desire to see the Lord everywhere and when he doesn't see that, he feels frustrated.

So mercy our Lord Chaitanya Lord has Lord his hands and all this desire.

By the mercy of Lord Chaitanya, 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.

Where Prabhupada went in once transformed to a holy Dharma.

So wherever Srila Prabhupada went, it was naturally transformed into a spiritual place Madhyam.

And it was a very excellent place.

And it was a very excellent place to execute any auspicious or auspicious activities.

2.

Cultivation using time Srimad Bhagavatam 71424 all of these seasonal times are considered extremely auspicious for humanity. At such times one should perform all auspicious activities for by such activities a human being attains success in his short duration of life.

So here is the time of month.

So here is the time of the month. This is an auspicious time to practice devotional service. The devotees they offer lamps and they do other auspicious activities.

So.

So in the Srimad Bhagavatam there are auspicious times which are mentioned.

In the year three months.

Like in a year there are three months which are especially more auspicious. Damodar, Karthik and Madmas. So those are the three months for most auspicious activities. In each of them one gets a benefit hundred times.

33 years. One month.

Every three years there's a special month called Purushottam month.

A thousand times.

And if you practice activity you get the benefit a thousand times.

Has the holidays.

Then there is like special holidays. Holidays, Holidays. And there's sometimes holidays. And tomorrow will be the Diwali.

And.

We are having a special festival at the TOVP the Festival of Lights. 3. Cultivation using the recipient Shrima Bhavatam 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 cultivations using place, pilgrimage and residing in sacred places.

1.

Traveling to Vaishnava Tirtha. 2. Visiting places where devotional services is executed. 3. Going to devotee houses and their places like Bhajanstali, Samadhi etc. Are the three types of devotional cultivation using Kwasis Dwarka Puri Kanchi Madra Mandal Sri Lanal are Vaishnava Tirthas in the places where Lord's pastime are heard. Becoming faithful to these subjects, the devotees go to these stirthas 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. Chanadya 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 Krishna arises.

Slowly arguing across all this house. He spoke all about everything on his own.

So the Bhakti Vedanta Swami Charity Trust was established by srila Prabhupada in 1977 during the Holy month of Karthik. He wanted and he Wanted to secure all the residences and the holy places of the associates of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the God Mandala Bhoomi.

How many of these places in Bangladesh have in love by the Sevites?

Because many of these places in Bangladesh have been left by the Sevites. So we call the birthplace of Advaita Gosay the birthplace of she called her the birth is a public with Dani D and many other devotees. So any questions of devotees to try to get these places and they have been cooperating and so we got many of these places. We have built some temples in Ekachakra in Mayapur.

So trying to do this on earth.

And we've been trying to do this on Srila Prabhupada's order.

All thoughts our neighbors sons of we.

Also try to establish to unite the self of family Audio National Association SGBA and we also established a society under the leadership under the heading of Bhakti Siddhanta Sah Thakur. It's called SGVS Association.

How.

We have been celebrating together the appearance and disappearance day of Srila Bhakti Sana Sati Thakur and Srila bhakti Vinod Thakur number two devotional cultivation using time such as honoring Hari Vasra 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 Tithini. Observing the Niyama Seva during Urjaprata Karthik Dhamadhar month is 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.

A few days.

So in few days we have Tirubha festival of Srila Bhakti and the Swamish Kato Prabhupada and.

This was heartbreak.

So in the Karthik and Namodra month we do the Niyama Seva. So minimum in every month of Chatur Masaya is that we give up eating Saak Dahi milk and Uradal. And on the Ekadashi Tithi we give up eating the grains, the pulses and CEOs cereals. Yes, and pulse CEOs and bosses.

One wants to close sleep.

And if one wants to, one can fast on that day and give up sleeping. Made it a little easy for us. At least one shouldn't eat grains, pulses and cereals. We just had a Nikadashi few days ago. So after every two weeks we observe this Ekada Shiktiji twice a month. And that day the devotees they take a lot of potatoes and I can't take any potato anymore Iron eggs Sweet potato day. So in this way one can appreciate observe such special activities in association to only time, place and devotees. So it says here the end. I was blessed today because since morning Swami Maharaj came to see me today. So I hope you also had his blessings today in next week or so. So it says to honor the holy days of the Lord's pastimes is highly beneficial to the time the Lord appears in this world and the different past types I saw. And also one should remember the Lord's pastimes. It's highly beneficial. So Guru Maharaj is blessing all the devotees, those who are assembled here as well as in online.
