Okay, sure. Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita of Srila Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur Continuation the sixth Stream the analysis of Prema Raga Nuga Raganuga Bhavotta Prema Prema arising from Bhava by following Ragnuga Sadhana Bhakti as mentioned in Padma Purana Quoted by Slarupa Goswami in Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu 1.4.78 in this Manvantara, the beautiful faced Chandrakanthi observed continuous celibacy and always meditated on that form of Krishna, thinking one should not desire anyone else. Her husband with hairs standing on end. She sang songs about Krishna and she developed complete affection for him by hearing stories about him. Prabhupada's translation in the Padma Purana there is a statement about ecstatic love born of spontaneous affection. Chandrakanti, a celebrated fair faced girl, rigidly observed celibacy in order to obtain Krishna as her husband. She always engaged herself in meditating on the transcendental form of the Lord and always chanted the glories of the Lord. She did not desire to accept anyone else as her husband. She had firmly decided that only Lord Krishna would be her husband. Ati, would you like to say something? Okay, sure. ATI Prasadotta Prema Prema arising through the great mercy of Bhagavan. Krishna is of two types. Only through the association with Bhagavan does this mercy arise by the mercy of a person who has attained Prema. Bhava arises subsequently through the association with Krishna or by serving the components of Bhava. Prema also manifests.

Salt. We see how sad devotees are very fixed on Ka.

So we see how some devotees are very fixed on Krishna.

They observe salad saying various things to only have Ka as their husband.

They observe celibacy and other things to only have Krishna as their husband.

So there is the mercy of Krishna by practicing Sadhana Bhakti.

There is mercy of Krishna by practicing Sadhana Bhakti and by someone.

Who has achieved Prema by the mercy of Krishna.

By someone who have completely achieved Prema by completely by achieving the mercy of Krishna. Two types of Prasadotta Prema Mahatma Jnana Yukta Prema Prema with the knowledge of the greatness of Bhagavan Kevala Prem Pure Prema the first one Mahatma Gyana Yukta Prema Prema with the knowledge of the greatness of Bhagavan Prema that arises following the path of rules and regulations, Vidhi Marga is called Mahatma Gyana Yukta Prema with the knowledge of greatness.

In this type of brain one is aware how great Krishna is.

In this type of Prem when one is aware how great Krishna is.

It starts middlemark. Gradually, step by step it comes up.

Baba Raji so he starts with Vritti Mahk. Step by step he comes up to the platform of Bava Roti Prema. Shall I read this? As mentioned, a verse from Sri Narada Pancharatra cited in Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu 1.14.14 translation of that verse. Those who have practiced Vaidi Bhakti attain Prema with knowledge of the Lord's greatness. Prabhupada's translation of that Generally, a devotee who has achieved the causeless mercy of the Lord on account of following the strict rules and regulations of devotional service becomes attracted by the supreme greatness of the Lord, by the transcendental beauty of the Lord and by the spontaneous execution of devotional service. To be more clear, by executing the regulatory principles of devotional service, one can fully appreciate the transcendental beauty of the Lord.

Some of the preachers of the Lord, his unity, his brightness, his art seems like.

Some of the beauty of the Lord. His greatness, his features are seen by the devotees very regularly based on their practicing the Vidhi Marg very regularly and.

Come to Rati and Prema and come.

To Rati and Prema.

So Lord Krishna, he advocates with the love of the devotees.

So Lord Krishna he reciprocates with the love of his devotees. Samav refer to it as affectionate devotion. Sneha Bhakti as quoted by Rupa Goswami Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu from Sri Narada Pancharatra. Very deep affection for the Lord that is endowed with knowledge of the Lord's powers is better than anything else and is called Bhakti by that Bhakti. A person attains powers in the spiritual world Shastri Mukti as well as other rewards. There's no other way to attain this Prabhupada's translation of that verse in the Narada Pancharatra it is said that if on account of profound veneration for the greatness of the supreme Lord, one attains a great affection and steady love for him, one is certainly assured of attaining the four kinds of Vaishnava liberation, namely, achieving the same bodily features as the Lord, achieving the same opulence as the Lord dwelling on the planet where the Lord is residing, and attaining eternal association with the Lord. Attaining eternal association with the Lord through that prema alone, the Jiva soul attains shasti equality of opulence, Sa rupya, similarity of form, samiyapya, proximity and sarlokya resident in the same realm with Bhagavan Even after liberation, the Jiva continues to serve Bhagavan in those respective ways.

So here it says that if you are getting the association with the Lord.

In the dinamarga, so our devotee from Serbia asks and here it says that if we get liberation in the form of association with the Lord through vidhi.

Marg that by the mercy of the Lord, he wants you to serve him in the spiritual world.

By the mercy of the Lord, he wants you to serve him in the spiritual world.

So the service doesn't end.

The service doesn't end even after liberation.

After liberation one is more inclined to serve.

So after liberation one is more inclined to serve. And.

Hare Krishna is giving his association to the devotees. Quran.

So how Krishna is giving his association to devotees who are serving him.

So devotees don't want liberation just for liberation's sake. They want liberation. They can accept it to serve the Lord.

So the devotees don't want liberation for liberation's sake. They can accept it to serve the Lord.

If you don't live in the same realm as the Lord, then how can you serve it?

If you don't stay in the same realm of the Lord, then how can you serve Him?

When a person loves Krishna, actually they want to serve a person they love.

If the person loves Krishna, then naturally they want to serve the person that they love. Service. So the real subject is service.

Liberations without service is not desired by the devotee.

Liberation without service is not desired by the devotees.

We are srimark you know that the Lord is great.

So in vedimark we know that the Lord is great so.

Much they put into some service which you understand the greatness of the Lord.

So you naturally fit into some service. When you understand the greatness of the Lord and you get eternal association with the Lord.

So as we get that prima, it helps you to achieve all kinds of liberation.

Naturally, if you are active Prema, then it helps you to achieve the four kinds of liberation.

Even after a liberation says the Jiva continues to serve Bhagavan.

Even after liberation, the Jiva continues to serve Bhagavan. Right? Yeah, yeah. Cable frame. Pure Prema the Prema that arises by Sadhana of taking shelter of Raga Nuga Bhakti, spontaneous devotion almost attains the state of pure Prema. Sri Narada Pancharatra cited in Bhaktira Samrita Sindhu 1.4.14 translation those who have practiced Ragnuga Bhakti, on the other hand, usually attain keval. Prem Narada Panchratra quoted in BRS. 1413 the Bhakti that inundated with Prema and takes the form of unobstructed and unmotivated thoughts following toward Hari brings even Vishnu under control. Srila Prabhupada's translation of that verse in the Narada Pancharatra Pure unalloyed devotional service explained as being without any motive for personal benefit. If a devotee is continuously in love with Lord Krishna and his mind is always fixed upon him, fixed upon him, that devotional attitude will prove to be the only means of attracting the attention of the Lord. The word Praya means that if there is attachment to the portions of regulative principles Vaidhi during the practice of Ragnuga Sadhana, then Prema does not become keval. In the practice of Ragnuga Bhakti. If the regulatory principles are followed merely out of habit, without attachment, then at that time of perfection pure Prema manifests. Prema is the crown jewel of all purposes. When Prema arises, life becomes meaningful. The Jiva soul attains all perfections.

So we have Panchata.

So we have Pancha Tattva, Ashasagi, we have Radha Madhava, Asthasaki, we have Radha Madhava, Mayapur, Chandra.

So these are all forms of Ka.

These are all forms of Krishna.

And various ways one becomes attached to these forms of Krishna.

So in various ways one becomes attached to these various forms of Ka.

And then one is attached to Krishna. And that Prana Bhakti awakens.

When one is attached to Krishna, then their Prema Bhakti awakens.

The process of Brahma Bhakti.

So the process of Premavakti following Raganuga.

Is something natural and spontaneous.

Is something natural and spontaneous.

One feels attracted to Krishna.

One feels attracted to Krishna.

Wants to serve Krishna on this Raganuga plane and.

Wants to serve Krishna on this Raganuga plane he saw.

Devotee.

Wants to serve Ka spontaneously, naturally.

And ragdoll the devotees want to serve Krishna spontaneously, naturally in Ragnuga.

So here are learning to learn why we can love Krishna.

So here we are learning through them we can love what was the last part? Gurumaj in different ways we can love. Ka.

Doesn'T rise.

So we can see different forms of Krishna as archa, avatara.

And.

So.

They'Re not exactly the same. They are nothing material can be exactly the same as Vrishnas.

They are not exactly the same because nothing material can be exactly same as to Krishna's transcendental form.

But one can.

Develop.

This natural love for the Lord.

That one can develop this natural love for the Lord.

So in the natural development of devotion.

In the natural development of one's devotion.

So there's states where one.

Loving Krishna.

There is a stage where one develops to love. One develops, one becomes sorry. One develops to the loving stage of Krishna.

So when one life becomes memorable and the soul attains all perfections.

So when one develops Prema, one's life become meaningful and the soul attains all perfections, all perfection. So a devotee.

Actually develop attachment to.

Krishna, naturally develops attachment to Ka. The idea is that.

We have the.

So the idea is that we have the Ragnuga Bhakti. Then the natural development of spontaneous service becomes manifest. He.

Says we have to attend some program.

So Gurma is going to attend some program in Brazil right now. So he's blessing all the devotees here and online. Please bless them. Gurumaj Blessings.
