20241221 - The soul is conscious and blissful

Amini Prabhonity Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Srila Sachidananda. Bhakti Vinod Thakur.

I like to know, should I continue without reading when they read the what party Yothaka told?

So I would like to know whether you'd like to continue reading this or you want to read what Bhakti Vinod Thakur told. Bhakti Siddhanta Sara Sati Thakur Srila Prabhupada before he left. Second one. Number two. Right. Number two. Please raise your hands. Okay. Number one.

Oh, Father.

In 1914, just a few weeks before passing away, Rla Bhaktived Thakur had expressed his Manobishta, the desire of his heart to Sri Siddhanta Saraswati instructing him to establish Daivavaranashrama, to preach Shuddha Bhakti, develop Sida Mayapur and publish Vaishnava writing.

Of course, everybody seems to have a different idea of Daivaranasram.

So everybody seems to have a different idea about Daiva Varanasram.

Since the Sahaja is the one group of Sahajas that I explained in the morning, if you know you're born a Brahman or you're born something else, you don't get terrified.

So as I explained this morning, there are a group of Sahajiyas who say that either if you are born as a Brahmin or another if you are born as someone else. If you are born as someone else, then you are not qualified to be purified. You can't be purified. So.

Bharti Siddhartha Sajataka he had defended. There are certain quotes.

So Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur, he had defeated that with some quotes. He said that if one has showed the quality of a Vaishnava and he has showed the quality of a Brahmana.

Are born in another caste.

Even if they are born in another.

Caste, they should be considered the qualified order.

So they should be considered as the caste they are qualified for.

So yes, Jailor Ashram.

So this is Devi Varnashram. Srila Prabhupada also wanted Devi Varnashram.

What actually do they mean?

So everybody seems to have a different view. But what they actually mean by Devi Varanasam is it's not by birth.

Praise to the Bhakti. That's.

So, Priest Shuddha Bhakti, what was the last thing? That's clear.

Sorry, Guruji.

Develop Sridhar Mayapur. That's there. That's clear. And published Vaishnava writings.

Prabhupada has us another thing.

Sridhar Naipur sir, Prabhupada asked us to develop Sridhar Mayapur.

And we've been doing that.

And we have been doing that. The TOVP is a big step forward in that.

Actually translated Gita, dharava, chaitanya j etc.

So srila prabhupada has actually translated Gita bhagavatam, chaitanya, charitamrita etc.

Otherwise just probably say Vaishnav writings.

Otherwise we are just publishing Vaishnava writings in vernacular languages.

Saga Prabhupada. He had published some books. Weekly, fortnightly monthly.

Of course Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada. He has book published weekly, fortnightly monthly. Some were in English also. Worldly people who are proud of their aristocratic birth cannot attain to actual aristocracy. Therefore they attack pure Vaishtavas claiming that they have taken birth in low class families because of their sins. Thus they commit offences. The means to rectify the situation is to institute Daiva Varnashrama Dharma.

Where is the research?

We should research? What does that actually mean?

You have born something and you're stuck.

It actually definitely doesn't mean. If you have born something and you're stuck, you have started to do that. Know it to be real service to Vaishnavas. Due to lack of Shirdha Bhakti Siddhanta Prachar. All manner of womanish bad theories and instructions are being called devotion by Siddho Apasampradhya such as Sahajya and Athiwati. Always crush this anti devotional conceptions by Bhakti Siddhanta Prachar and proper Achara. Try to begin the parikrama of Sridha Mayapur as soon as possible.

So.

This parikrama was very dear to Bhakti Vinath Thakur. In Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur had huge parikrama parties.

I heard that.

I heard that his parikrama party would have like 10,000 people. And that some like Keshava Maharaj and some other Sannyasis rode on horses to keep everybody in line. Now we have walkie talkies, mobile phones at that time horses. Okay? Thereby everyone in the universe can receive Krishna Bhakti.

How this parikrama reaches everybody in the universe.

How this parikrama reaches everybody in the universe.

I have the vision.

These great Acharyas, they had a vision. Okay? Diligently endeavor to ensure that service to Sri Mayapur becomes permanently established and more resplendent each day.

This is.

So this is our. The things what our previous Acharyas wanted.

And I am as much as we can do, as much as we can do for developing the Mayapur Dharam.

As much we can do for developing the Mayapur Dham. That's better. Genuine service to Shri Mayapur is not Nirjan Bhajan, but to establish a printing press and to propagate devotional books and Namahatta.

Printing press.

So at that time there was printing press.

The old fashioned press.

They used the old fashioned press.

We had a, you know, what do you call that offset process.

So we had what we call it as a offset press.

Bombay, they said they can print books in a bigger press.

So then Bombay said they can print books in a bigger press.

So now all our books are centrally printed in Bombay.

So now all our books are centrally printed in Bombay. Of course they print the book and then they have to distribute it.

I like the point of Namah.

I like the point of Namahat.

We started Ramah preaching and at the time of Bhakti Nana Takhat.

Since they have started the Namah preaching, at the time of Bhakti Vinod Thakur there were few Namah which are still existing. Which are still existing.

Oh yeah, like.

So we don't have the actual number of Namahat but we have like 720 in East Midinipur and another 720 in the West Midipur.

Ramhat was something that Arjuna Thakur and the various Acharyas are thinking about.

Namahad is something that Bhakti Vinod Thakur and the previous Acharyas were thinking about next. Do not for your own sake undertake Nirjan Bhajan and thus impede preaching and service to Shri Mayapur.

They said at that time 1914 was to annotate hi Das Thakur and the Nirjan Bhajan.

And it was a big fad to do Nirjan Bhajan and in Those days, in 1914, to imitate Harida Stakur.

By doing that, does it make its own benefit for themselves?

By doing that, the person may get some benefit for themselves.

Bhakti Nanthakur is saying impeding the preaching.

But Bhakti Venathakur is saying that they are impeding the preaching and the service to Sridharma Mayapur. When I am no longer present, take care and serve your dear Sri Mayapuridham. This is my special instruction to you people who are like Animals can never attain devotion, never accept their advice, but do not let them know this either directly or indirectly. I had a special desire to propagate the importance of books such as importance of such books as Shrimad Bhagavatam, Satsandarbha and Vedanta Darshana.

Translated out of the 10 canto.

So in Vrindavan, Srila Prabhupada translated up to the 10th canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam.

But Sandra to translate Satsangara, someone was.

Endeavoring to translate the Satsandarbha.

That is your Sanskrit has Padma Purana and Krishna Purana.

Prabhupada said, your son says Padma Puran and Vishnu Puran.

But he said, a Satsandara has such a complete word.

So Srila Prabhupada says, thanks to Satsandarbha is such a complete work on our philosophy that it convinced anyone that it can convince anyone.

So he wanted that translated by some qualified person.

So he wanted that to be translated by some qualified persons. It.

Was a natural commentary.

Vedanta Sutra Sri Prabhupada said that the Rimad Bhagavatam is the natural commentary on the Vedanta Sutra. So Srila Prabhupada he worked on the Shamad Bhagavatam. Now you must assume that responsibility. Shri Mayapur will prosper if you inaugurate an educational institute there. Never try to amass knowledge or money for your own sense gratification. They should be acquired only for KA's service. Never take bad association either for money or any personal interest.

So a few weeks before departure partner Thomas Toad Serana.

So few weeks before his departure, Bhakti Vinod Thakur told this to Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada.

You can see how these things.

So you see how these things Bhakti Siddhanta Sahastaji Thakur applied.

That was instructed to Srila Prabhupada.

In turn, that was instructed to Srila Prabhupada.

He was so much inspired by and.

He was so much inspired that his.

Advanced age he traveled all over the world, spread Krishna Consciousness.

That at his advanced age he traveled all over the world and spread Ka consciousness.

He wanted so.

So here in Mayapur he wanted to develop the Mayapur Dham. He wanted to distribute his books and.

He wanted to unite SARS or Daniel.

He wanted to. He wanted to unite the Saraswat family. All these things.

See how his things are handed down.

And see how these things are handed down in The Parampara. I am very inspired that through my humble efforts that I could establish the Namahat that have been pleasing to the previous Acharyas. No questions. We have 10 minutes left for the other meeting. Questions please ask if you have. They want all blessings it seems. Write it down.

Gender got almost in one sense.

Reduced.

To almost new after. And they have to be revived again by Pakhti. No Otakur. How come he came to that point?

So the question is how why did Lord Chaitanya's movement was kind of reduced to how why did Lord Chaitanya's movement was kind of reduced to nothing. And then it has to be revived by Srila Bhakti Vinathakur? Is that the question? Yes. Yes.

Like what you do? There's so much counterfeit money.

So it's like what would you do if there is so much counterfeit money?

You can't tell which is real money, which is paper.

You can't tell which is real money, which is paper.

Salt again. And charge it out. All the Rakita Sahajas, Atiradis, they created short cut.

So after Lord Chaitanya left all the Pseudo Vaishnavas, the Ati Bharati Kartha Baja. They started creating this shortcut process of Bhakti Yoga.

Rather than purify your heart, practice devotional service. Just put on a sari.

So rather than purifying their heart and practicing Bhakti Yoga, they were putting pure Bhakti. They were putting on sarees and bangles.

Rather than all these groups started larger Danya real thing was still there. There was so many hundred.

But anyway this. So anyway this Prakrita Sahaji as they started these things. But Lord Chaitanya's real thing was there. But it was covered by all these counterfeits. He.

Established. He failed. Like the Lord Chaitanya Bhakti Vana Thakur.

He established the real Shuddha Bhakti of Lord Caitanya.

And here he rushed his son to take it up.

And he requested his. So he requested his son Bhakti Siddhanta Sir Sathyatakur Prabhupada to take up the preaching.

Paul Bhakti Otako, he had some books in English sent all over the world to different universities.

Bhakti Veenath Thakur sent some books in English all over the world to different universities.

The teachings of Lord Chaitanya, something like that was Santa McGill University in Montreal.

One copy was the teachings of Lord Chaitanya was sent to the McGill University in Montreal.

And it was there when I was in Montreal and it was there.

So when I was in Montreal that book was there.

Someone stole it.

Someone stole it.

He took the deities and.

Srila Prabhupada. He took the teachings of Bhakti Siddhanta, Saraswati Thakur and expanded it. He wanted a GBC and he made that.

He wanted books translated. He did that.

He wanted the books to be translated. He did that.

He wanted the books distributed. He did that.

He wanted the books distributed. He did that.

He wanted temples all over the world.

He wanted temples all over the world. He did that.

Established.

And he established in 108.

And he wanted another higher court and he.

Wanted to develop Mayapur.

Helping me please we could.

You are all. You all are helping me. Hare Krishna, I think that I could. You all are helping me. So Gurmaj has a meeting right now. We'll end the class here. Hare Krishna. Gurmaj, please bless all of them. Krishna.
