20241226 - Devotion

I have here Panchatatwa Shivasadi Gora Bhaktavrinda.

Today has sound devotees from Australia.

So today some devotees from Australia are taking initiation. Those who are taking initiation, please raise your hands.

Today was our Panchak Rosh parikrama.

Today was our Panchak Rosha parikrama.

And.

They went on the pathway where Har Chaitanya had gone to the chantality.

And the devotees they went on the pathway where Lord Caitanya had gone to the Chand Qazi.

I went to the holidays.

And from there they went to Jagannath Baladev Subhadra Sudarshan Temple. Temple.

And I spoke at Jagannath.

And I spoke at Jagannath temple.

So some people heard that.

So some people heard that it was broadcasted on YouTube and.

They went around Jalangri and.

Then they went around Jalangi and came back here.

A cross is two miles.

A croch is two miles.

Panchak roche means 10 miles.

Means 10 miles.

So tanja Kosh, Ashtagosh. Then.

There'S Panchak Rosh, there's Ashtakosh Krosh and then there's whole of Navadvip Dhamma.

So we do this during Prakramas at different times.

So we do these different parikramas at different times. Lord Nithyananda, he would do many parikramas. So.

Ashtakrush includes.

The Ashtakrosh includes Antardvip, Simantadvip, Godrung, Dweep and the.

I think my advice now at the top is I don't know that Solar rose, what that is.

Nine islands, the Mayapur Nawadvip. I don't know how many crochets that is. But that is nine islands.

Is connected with one devotional source.

Each island is connected with one devotional service. Archana, Dasia, Sakya, Atman.

We do that one.

And around March we do that in during Gorpunima which is around March.

I saw Martin Otago at all.

So Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur had told Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada to do the Navadvip Mandala Parikrama.

This one. All right. The whole world.

And that this would make the whole world Krishna conscious.

How that works, I don't know how that works.

I don't know.

That's what our Acharyas sat.

But that's what our Acharyas have said.

So taking initiation.

So taking initiation in Mayapur is very special.

Yes, my Dharma, the Adoya Dharma is not the center of the churches higher.

Because Mayapur Dham is not Audary. Adham is non different from the spiritual world.

The effect is like that.

We may not be able to see that, but the effect is like that.

Yet.

So devotees who are staying in this holy Dham, they get special connection with Lord Chaitanya and the Panchatatwa.

So that great devotees had contact.

Sometimes different great devotees had contact with Lord Chaitanya, Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva, Lord Shiva Prav. They all came here and they saw Lord Chaitanya doing his Aprakat Leela.

Prak.

When he appeared in this Prakat Leela, he took.

Four bodies.

Four bodies, four parties. Four parties to Lord, to Chand Kazi.

Was led by.

One party, was led by Shrivas Thakur, one by Advaita, one by Haridas Thakur.

He came up with a fourth with.

And he came up in the fourth with Lord Nithyananda and Gadhadar.

So at that time came down see the Lord.

At that time Vayu Dev and Indra Dev came down to see the Lord. After seeing the Supreme Lord, they were crying, chanting he was.

Okay and all these things.

So after seeing them, the supreme Lord was crying, chanting, dancing, hair standing on end and all these things.

Here. When I ran out of channel, he was crying out of ecstasy.

He may or may not have seen them. But he was crying out of his ecstasy, chanting Hare Krishna.

Those two sing a lot. Chanting, dancing, crying and ecstasy.

So I find it so those two seeing the Lord, crying, chanting, dancing in ecstasy, they fainted. You don't normally expect to see the supreme personality of Godhead in such ecstasy. When they came back to consciousness, they changed their form into human form and they joined the party.

These eternal pastimes are going on here.

So these eternal pastimes are going on here. So devotees, by surrendering to Guru and Krishna here, they get special mercy.

Human life people to see the world with their senses.

In human life, people see the world with their senses. That's one level.

It's a higher level to actually experience.

But it is a higher level to actually experience devotional service.

I tell you that the Lord is here. Not everybody has an ability to give out blessings.

I was telling the devotees here that everybody has the ability to give out blessings.

At least.

Those who are strict in their Sadhana bhakti. Their blessings can give a person faith in the process of Ka consciousness.

And as they advance.

If they are more advanced, then they get more empowered. When they come up to the level of Bhava Bhakti. Then they can give such blessings to the devotees. And then they can taste Krishna's transcendental devotion.

So I invite to follow the heart strictly sets the things that you're prohibited from doing your whole life.

So it's important to follow the four regulative principles or things which are prohibited for your whole life. And chanting Hare Krishna every day. Some devotees, they think that chanting is optional.

Process. Harshta consciousness depends on chanting.

You see that the process of devotional service depends on chanting. One has to chant every day.

And by chanting Lord Chaitanya Shah that purifies the heart.

Lord Chaitanya said that it purifies the heart.

And satanic takes one to the highest position.

So chanting takes one to the highest position. The holy name of Krishna is not different from Krishna, is non different from Krishna.

One chance regularly that Krishna resides in the heart.

And if one chants regularly, then Krishna resides in the heart.

Chanting.

So chanting is very important.

We want to be gentlemen, gentle ladies. We don't want to engage in sinful activities.

We want to be gentlemen and ladies and not engage in sinful activities. So we follow the regulative principles. Have the candidates for initiation all taken their vows? Yes. Yes. Yeah, he's coming. No, he's coming from that side.

It Boxing day in Australia.

Today is the boxing day in Australia. They did this Nan Yatra for Lord Jagannath, Bhalladeva and Subhatra and.

Otherwise.

Afterwards the deities wearing the hati dress.

And.

This year I held the program.

Sports stadium. This year they had the program in a sports stadium called Melbourne Sports Stadium.

Right. The Hanseger connection didn't work.

The loudspeaker connection didn't work on the other side.

So I sent an audio message.

So I sent an audio message.

So.

Summer in Australia now summer here. You must be feeling cool that they have mangoes, lychees, berries, all kind of things. All kind of things.

Like we have in summer.

Like we have in summer.

It's hot. Why is that?

So the point is that being Krishna conscious, we get the opportunity to experience ecstasy. I want all the devotees to experience ecstasy of Krishna consciousness.
