So he is very a person with long life.
So he is a person with a lot of long life.
So he was praying to his father.
Brahma So he was praying to his father Brahma.
Brahma.
Along with his wife.
What service can we do for you?
That what service we can do for you?
Lord Brahma is the source of all Vedic knowledge. Pita Guru Shah he is the father, the spiritual master, everything. The duty of a father spiritual master is that you must deliver your offspring or your disciple from the cycle of repeated birth and death.
Scripture that says.
There is a verse in the scriptures that one should not be a guru, a father or a deva or a husband.
J karu Guru Hao chitna pitaha Matah shami hau chitna jodi bad Devatah jodita shetar nirvar shil Jay because he is under your guidance, he is under your supervision. Therefore you must deliver him from the cycle of repeated birth and death.
So all children look to their father to supply their needs.
Most children look to their fathers to supply their needs.
When they grow up they should serve father.
But when they grow up they should serve their father.
This is the creation. Karl Lord said Allah since the time.
Of Lord Rama Prabhupada said, this is the law of creation since the time of Lord Brahma. So the father. So the father is supposed to bring up the son.
And when the son is grown up he should serve the father.
And when the son is grown up, he should serve the father.
Petar Shivakara.
I thought my father would be very pleased and I told him that I had become a devotee.
I thought my father would be pleased. When I told him that I had become a devotee, my father said, you come right back. Otherwise I'll give your name in the draft and you'll die in Vietnam.
There's a stipulation that there should not be power.
So there is a stipulation that you should not be a father, a husband, Guru if you cannot liberate your children.
So I realized that my Vajra father was not able to liberate me.
So I realized that my Purvashram father was not able to liberate me.
In that situation you don't have to follow father's order.
So in that situation you don't have to follow your father's order.
So I ask my Guru how long?
So I asked my Guru Srila Prabhupada what should I do?
So he told me, better you join Krishna's army.
So he told me, better you join Krishna's army. So I've been in Krishna's army ever since.
Then it makes sense to follow his order.
So if your father is Brahma or someone then it makes sense to follow his orders.
So when Lord Ram was told by his father to go to the forest for 14 years.
Obliged to do that.
He felt obliged to do that. But his mother told him differently.
He had received the order his father heard.
But he had received the order from his father first. So he felt obliged to follow his father's orders. The mother had given an opposite instruction. The mother said, you're giving me pain.
Where the father gave thousands of.
So anyways, there are many instances where the father gave instructions and the son followed them.
Every color is church enlightened. He has powers then he has his own.
If the father is spiritually inclined and if he has powers then he has to be followed.
Amra Chintakore Jamra Janina Amar Ki Bhalo Arki Mundo we generally think that we do not know what is good for me and what is not good for me. Therefore we accept a spiritual master that whatever orders he will give, we shall carry it out.
All Lord wanted us. Our Lord shall join us all over the world.
Srila Prabhupada wanted us to spread Lord Chaitanya's movement all over the world.
The auras of our Guru Ashaya that Krishna consciousness movement has spread all over the world.
So by following the instructions of our Guru Srila Prabhupada. The Krishna consciousness movement has spread all over the world.
So Manu is asking Lord Brahma what service we can do for you.
He is a putra.
So he is a putra. A good son.
As also Jagadesh pandits.
Today is also Jagadeesh Pandit's appearance day.
Aj Jagadish Panditer Abirbhaptiti.

He went to Janathpuri.
He went to Jagannath Puri.
On the order of his superiors.
On the order of his superiors. Then he preached there.
But it was near Shaktaha.
Then he came back to a village near Chakdah. He brought Lord Jagannath dt stick. So Prabhupada went to Chakdaha.
He saw the Jagadev Pandit.
He saw the Jagdish Pandits deities. The stick on which Jagdish Pandit brought the Jagannath deities the stick is still there. Prabhupada gave a lecture in Chakdaha.
One of the few times Bengali lecture.
One of the few times he gave a Bengali lecture. It was an interesting lecture. He was saying how people would go to Kolkata by train.
Station.
And then from the train station they go to their office either by bus, tram or walking.
Because of the hours and hurt hours.
Then get to the office and work for a couple of hours. Then they have a tea break and they would eat a biscuit.
Then they work again.
For a couple of hours.
Then again for lunch and tiffin. Another half an hour gone.
Tea break is only 15 minutes.
Lunch tiffin.
But lunch tiffin is half hour. Then they work again. Then they have another tea break, take a biscuit.
15 minutes. So then they work and then they get to leave. They get a break for the day.
They walk one hour to the train station.
They walk or travel one hour to the train station. Then they take a train to Chakda an hour or half. Then they go and have their dinner. Either they have sex or they go to sleep.
Srila Prabhupada gave a lecture like this.
They asked Diva, is this human life? Is this human life?
And then he asked the people is this human life? Is this human life? While you are going by the train to Kolkata you can chant Hare Krishna.
Kirtan Kottakottai Jaitham Then as per Srila Prabhupada's instructions the people they arranged one Bhogi and in that bogie all the Chakda people would get on and they would perform Kirtan up to Calcutta.
Last time I asked it saying that they are still doing it.
Last time I asked if they are still doing it. So Prabhupada was encouraging the people to chant Hare Krishna Manu he lives 71.
Chatur Yugas Manurjuger Jaishomaikals Sheracomayus Cal Tar.
We are in Kali Yuga we are.
In the Kali Yuga in this age.
Of Kali people usually have 100 years or 80 years of lifespan.
Kaila is 420,000 years.
Kalyuga is 420,000 years.
Kalijogar Ayohache Bakalijugar Jatri Charlotte.
Our lives.
So our life is very short. 71 times 4 millions 24 million 32 thousand.
So Akathor goon.
That'S Manu's life.
That's Manu's life. So he has different things he has to do for Lord Brahma.
Lord.
Past times 48 years Lord Chaitanya's visible Leela Prakat Leela was for 48.
Years Bhagavan Si Jaitanna Mahaprabhu Prakat Lila Ba Drishramana Lila Achalish Bhatsar Javat.
He spent half of that in NABUDVIP.
24 years. And now that he spent maybe a.
Year in holidays in the 24 years in Navudeep maybe he spent one year in Bangladesh.
He went six years traveling around India.
And when he went to Jagannath Puri then he went six years traveling around India.
And Panchitandra they come externally start the Sankirja movement.
So Lord Chaitanya Pancha Tattva they have come externally to start the Sankirtan movement.
Thai Bhagavan Sri Chaitan Mahaprabhu.
But the confidential reason was we are the holy.
But the confidential reason was to be a devotee. Srila Prabhupada was saying how putra means a son and mutra means urine and mutra means urine.
A Lord. The sun and urine come from the.
Feminine genitals and both the sun and the urine come from the same genitals.
The son is obedient servant of the Lord is called Puja.
If the son is an obedient servant of the Lord then he is called a putra.
Putra Bhagavaner Agabahi Dash.
If a son is not learned, not a wording no better than Yurin.
If the son is not learned, not a devotee, then he is not better than urine.
Jadi Putra Sheikutra Jadi Shikitanahai Jadi Bhakto Nahai. So if our parents, if our father gives us an instruction that is religious, then we can follow it. It is our duty to follow it. But if he gives irreligious orders, then we don't have to follow that.
Like Prahlad Maharaj swallow the demon Sadhana, the virgin Krishna.
So like Prahlad Maharaj, his father was a demon. He told him not to worship Lord Krishna.
Chai Chan Chaitanya Dev Raghunathas Goswami wanted to join Lord Chaitanya. But his father did not want that.
Bali Maharaj disobeyed Shukracharya.
Bali Maharaj.
There are many examples. If a person gave irreligious orders.
So there are many examples that when a person gave irreligious orders, the son did not follow.
His sound instructions. How you should do dedicated follow Father, Guru, etc.
So this verse and the purport gives some instruction. How we should be dedicated to follow the Father, Guru, etc. And when not to follow. So the fathers and the mothers, they have a big responsibility.
I saw in mother sitting with six children.
So I saw in New Talawan, usa how a mother was sitting with her six children.
They were not all hers.
She was sitting with six children.
America, New Talawan, New Talawane.
And there was a plate of Sundays.
And all the children were chanting their java.
And all the children were chanting their Japa.
Among Samasta Shishura.
At the end of the.
Day, at the end of the japa, they didn't have beads. They were just chanting. They gave the Sandesh out to the kids.
So like that they were training the children to chant.
So like that they were training the children to chant.
Next station down, his brother has Punitish.
Pandit whose appearance day is today. Next station down is his brother's birthplace who was Mahesh Pandit to Jagadish Pondith.
Jarhaj Abirvaptiti to Chagdar Paravati station, Shei Station.
He said right there, told Rah Rah that I'll give you, I'll join Islam.
So I don't know if it's his birthplace or an ashram. But the sevite there told Srila Prabhupada that we want this Ashram to be joined with Iskcon. So Prabhupada went there and gave a lecture.
He said Monday through Saturday.
He said Monday to Saturday you work in Calcutta.
On Sunday all what you eat what the other coconut, Allah to the deity and eat it.
And on Sunday, whatever you get everything together, whatever you want to eat, cook, offer to the deities and eat among.
Ravi Varaddin, Apnara jaja ahar kottya chan tashab jawarjantra karun.
So Prabhupada gave some practical suggestion how they could be more Krishna conscious.
Practical. So every day the devotees, those of you who are In Mayapur, about 60,000 people are coming every day. So you can think how these people, they can become ka conscious.
That may be the nice thing I was going to say. But I say how you think you Shalanish, you can think.
So that might be the next thing what I would want to say. But I wanted to say that you all be ka conscious and think what to do.
Actually, on Christmas of the New Year's day we had 105,000 people.
But on the New Year day we had 105,000 people who came here.
Every day we have tens of thousands of people.
Every day we have tens and thousands.
Of people among tens of thousand.
Tens of thousands, tens of thousand people.
Seva we can do.
So. Just as Manu went to Brahma and was thinking what Seva he can do, similarly we also should think what Seva we can do. For Guru and Prabhupada.
