Hariyom Tatsat. Thank you, Hare Krishna. Okay, I'll read it from here. Okay. This is a quotation from Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita Antialila Chapter 3, entitled Glories of Haridas Thakur. Text number 32AMark Shankrante Tumi Randhan Korila Nana Bhyanjan Kira Peter Payesh Randila. During the last Mag Shakranti festival, you cooked varieties of vegetables, condensed milk cakes and sweet rice for me. And this is another quotation From Srimad Bhagavatam, 11th Canto, Chapter 11, text number 43. Surya Tu Vidyaya Trayam Athena Vipra Griye Goswang Goswanga Yava Saadina. Lord Krishna tells Uddhava, my dear Uddava, one should worship me within the sun by chanting selected Vedic mantras and by performing worship and offering obeisances. I can be worshipped within the cows by offering of grass and other suitable grains and paraphernalia for the pleasure and health of the cows.

All over India observe the Makara Shankranti.

So all over India they observe the Makara shankranti.

Sagar island.

In Sagar island they have like 4 million people in Konmara.

I think that there is a.

So in Kumbha Mela. I think today is debating day.

Iskcon calendar sometimes given by one day.

Iskcon calendars are sometimes different by one day than the other calendars.

So I think that our prime minister Modi he stuck at the inauguration of the Kangar Navi Novambe temple.

So I think our prime minister he spoke at the Kargar Navi Mumbai temple.

Apparently he spoke for 45 minutes apparently.

He spoke for 45 minutes.

In Hindi.

In Hindi.

But it's pretty rare and special to.

Have the it's pretty rare and special to have the to have the Prime Minister of India to inaugurate the temple. Haribo, we are reading from sixth shower, right? And the first stream continuation of Chaitanya Shiksha. Amrita Vaishla Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur. A quotation from Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu analysis of prema 1 4, 3, 4. Baba is called Prema by Bhishma and others. If it is accompanied by possessiveness toward Vishnu and if possessiveness toward Vishnu, other things is absent. This Prema for the Lord is of two types. Arising from Bhava and arising from extreme mercy. Rla Prabhupada's translation of those verses. This pure love can be transferred to the supreme personality of Godhead under two conditions. Out of ecstasy and out of causeless mercy of the supreme personality of Godhead himself.

So one has Bhava and then becomes more concentrated.

One has Bhava that becomes more concentrated, becomes fixed on Vishnu or Krishna.

So that can become Prema.

That can become Prema.

The other reason is if the supreme person of Godhead by Lord Chaitanya he gives his clothes and rosy.

The other reason, if the supreme personality of Godhead like Lord Chaitanya, he gives his causeless mercy, that's called Kripa Siddhi.

All right. The mercy of Israel.

Who would like to get the mercy of Krishna?

Are you not raising your hands?

Yeah, they all are raising their hands. Okay. Everyone is excited to get Krishna's mercy. No, no. Stai Bhav. This is nice. When Rati attains the state of Prema, it is called Staibha. Continuous existence of ecstasy. Without Staibha Rasa cannot manifest. By saying Prema, one should understand it as the beginning stage of Prema. Prema is of two types. Bavotta Prema, Prema arising from Bhava ecstasy and Prasadotta. Prema. Prema arising from Prasada means mercy. So Bhakti Vinod Thakur is explaining these two types of Prema right now. He's getting into details. Okay. Bhavata Prema Prema arising from Bhava ecstasy. When Bhava reaches the highest stage of excellence through serving all the intimate limbs, it is referred to as Bhavuta Prema. That Bhava which reaches the acme by continual service through cultivating all the essential Angas is called Prema arising from Bhava. Prabhupada's translation of the verse from Bhaktira Samrata Sindhu. Ecstatic love of Godhead can be potently invoked simply by following the rules and regulations of devotional service as they are prescribed in scriptures under the direction of a bona fide spiritual master.

Prabhupada saying how one achieves, one can achieve Prema.

So Prabhupada is saying how one can.

Achieve Prema after one achieves Baba, after.

One achieves Bhava.

By continually following the Injunctions.

By continually following the injunctions under the guidance of a bona fide Gurudev, one awakens Prema. Intimate components of Bhava have already been exhibited earlier. Explained earlier. Number two, Prasadotta Prema Prema arising from Prasada, the Prema that arises gradually through the association of Sri Hari Swarupa is called prasadotta. Okay. There's also an explanation of Bhavata prema divisions of Bhavotta prema. Why the Bhavotta Prema Prema arising from Bhava? By following Vaidi Sadhana bhakti in the 11th Canto Bhagavatam, second chapter, verse number 40, its characteristics are described Evam Vratas of Priya Nama Kritiya Jatanuragu Drutha Chitta Uchai. As when a person is actually advanced and takes pleasure in chanting the holy name of the Lord who is very dear to him, he is agitated and loudly chants the holy name. He also laughs, cries, becomes agitated and chants just like a madman. Not caring for outsiders.

Destroyed.

So this is described in Bhagavatam 11th Canto, second chapter, verse number 40.

Not caring for others.

So the qualities of expressing ecstasy. Not caring for others.

But I see that because these Sahajyas, you know, corrupt ecstasy, cheating ecstasy.

So we see the Sahajyas, they express corporate ecstasy or cheating ecstasy.

So we don't. We try not to exhibit.

So we try not to exhibit ecstasy.

But sometimes Prabhupada and his guru, they could not hide it.

But sometimes Srila Prabhupada and his guru, they could not hide it.

We don't hear much about the previous.

Cryas we don't hear much about the.

Previous cryas about their personal activities.

About their personal activities.

We saw that we heard sometimes Bhartisan undershires of the Prabhupada.

So we heard that sometimes Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati talked with Prabhupada. He could not help but exhibit some.

Ecstasy was that he loved the place and the child do not display ecstasy.

But when that happened, he left the place and tried not to display his ecstasy.

He saw Prabhupada as rushed ecstasy here he couldn't control.

So we saw Prabhupada express ecstasy here he couldn't control.

And we heard that he was giving a class and what is the wrong one? Gita Press Gorakhpur. Yeah, he was giving class in Gorakhpur.

Srila Prabhupada was giving a class in Gorakhpur and he expressed ecstasy.

Sometimes Generally Prabhupada would control it. But sometimes it was uncontrollable.

Generally Srila Prabhupada would control. Sometimes it was uncontrollable.

Sometimes I go to temple. I'm sorry. Late.

So sometime I go to the temple. It's already late.

I was hurrying. It was a bit late.

This morning. It was a bit late.

So the ladies were doing Uludhuni.
