A recorded live class (Jan 23, 2025, Śrī Māyāpur) by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami presenting and explaining material from Śrī Chaitanya-śikṣāmṛta concerning Prema Bhakti — its eligibility, stages (aspiring and possessing Prema), and devotional practices (bhajana, preaching, and exclusive surrender). The lecture emphasizes chanting the Holy Name (Hare Krishna), the qualities of exclusive devotees (complete surrender, humility, reliance on Krishna), and cites scripture (Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Padma Purāṇa) and exemplars (Prahlāda) to illustrate points; the session includes brief audience interjections, a short Q&A, blessings, and channel outro/prompts.

Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue with a reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrata 6th shower analysis of Prema Bhakti 3rd stream consideration of Nama budget According to the eligibility for Prabha Prema is the Prayogya ultimate necessity for the Jiva living entity. The life of Baba nourished into the life of Prema. The Jiva becoming inclined towards Krishna, progressing upwards gradually reach the temple of Prema. Therefore there are two stages in eligibility for Prema. The stage of aspiring for Prema Prema or Durukshu and the stage of having a Prema Prema ruler. There is no higher state than having a Prema Prema Aruna in that state. The undivided truth of Krishna Rasa is the non dual truth in the state of aspiring to ascend our Gurukshu Devotees are divided into two categories. Vivektanandi, those who enjoy solitude and Goshtiya Nandi, those who enjoy community. Vivekanandis are fond of following this practice. Following the practices Gomkya Dandis are always fond of preaching. Among them some enjoy both the types.
Of honor of the Lord.
We like to increase the number of devotees.
He was healing even to the demons.
Prahlad Maharaj he was preaching even to the demons.
And all the demons.
Hare Krishna and his enjoyment was using all the demons to chant Hare Krishna to Lord Chain. He wanted all the people to achieve Ka Prema Krishna Prema defed great satisfaction. Note Sri Chaitanya chaitanada ante dila 4.102 and 103. Some behave very well but do not preach the cult of Ka consciousness. Whereas others preach but do not behave properly. Acha Pracha Nami Korabudui Karjayo Tumi Sarvaguru Tumi Jagader Archa. You simultaneously perform both duties in relation to the Holy Name by your personal behavior and by your preachings. Therefore you are the spiritual master of the entire world for you are the most advanced devotee in the world. So there are two things. Achar and Prachar giving both Acha and Pracha.
Oh Lord said that he was part of The Nirjan.
Although it seems that he was born into the Nirjan Bhajan and he will do the things that will encourage the people to chant.
Sometimes.
So like sometimes people were joking and laughing while he was chanting. He would chant loud so he would chant louder to encourage them to chant more. So he would purposely chant lawyer to encourage the devotees to chant. Also a person in Yamjana Bhajan he may perform nicely but he doesn't preach. So the Bhajana Gandhi they want to achieve the perfection but the Goshjanandis they want to see many devotees accumulated and.
They have nice house.
They behave nice and they also preach.
As they.
So that is the meaning of a spiritual master. He likes to behave nicely and he has to preach the glories of chanting the holy names. We have Prahla and narration Hadith so Prahlad he preached forever and he acted in a perfect way.
But also.
He had power and he also behaved properly. We want to see the number of devotees increase. We have to get people chant Hare Krishna because the chanting is not different from Lord Krishna. Remembrance of the Lord is the practice of Prema bhaktas Chanting the holy name of the Lord is the preaching activity of the prayer Bhavta.
World the journey of the Lord's holy name unbiven from.
The Lord Even in the spiritual world the chanting of the Lord's holy name is not different from the Lord so one should always chant Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna.
Ascend along.
The symptom of Sharunagatha are accepting what is favorable for devotion and rejecting what is unfavourable. In the state of aspiring to accept Anurukshu Prema bhaktas are exclusively devoted to Ka Their general characteristic is complete surrender. As mentioned in the Gita Sanga Dharman Parityacha Mamikam shahanam Raja Aham tuam sarvapat ipvu moksha Ishya vindon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear. Bhagavad Gita 1860 Yahisarvatma Bhavena Vayasya Hiya Kutobhaya Simply take shelter of me alone For I am the supreme personality of Godhead situated within the heart of all conditioned souls. Take shelter of me wholeheartedly and by my grace be free from fear in all circumstances. Srimad Bhagavata in the Rmad Bhagavatam and Gita the special glory of those who take exclusive shelter is sung without taking Exclusive shelter. Not only Prema is unattainable but even Baba does not arise. Only whatever is favorable for Prema Bhakti is accepted by those who take exclusive shelter. Whatever is unfavourable is rejected by devotees. The exclusive devotee believes that Krishna is the sole protector. There is no protection by any other means or by anyone else. They have no doubt that Ka is our only maintainer. The devotees have strong simple faith and extremely humble and insignificant. I can do nothing without Krishna's will. No one in the world can do anything. This faith is. This is the faith of a single minded devotee. So.
What can you do without Krishna's mercy?
So what can you do without Krishna's mercy?
Hide all of my obediences.
I offer my obeisances to the Suttasvaram Krishna in your heart. As mentioned in the Padma Puranam, the six divisions of Sarana are. The acceptance of those things favorable to devotional service. The rejection of unfavorable things. The conviction that Ka will give protection. The acceptance of the Lord as wants. Gary from Master. Full self surrender and humility. So because I haven't taken Darshan today I just took now son.
Has a life that has come sans ravage.
So the person was giving class. You were saying the rest alive has sometimes gratifications. But the other three Brahmachari, Vanachari and Sannyas they don't have.
We find them actually coming Ashram.
Ashram that we find actually every. Every Ashram has surrender.
All the realizes have children.
So the grand slots can have children.
We don't do that.
We don't do that as that's gratification. But we do that as a service to Lord Krishna. When you eat Prashad naturally when your stomach would fill, you'll be satisfied. You'll be satisfied.
I'm going to do that Sansvana.
Not that we do that for sense gratification. If we don't eat, we die. So we eat Prasada.
So.
Everything we do we do to please Krishna. Krishna Prashad, Krishna, children. Everything is kaas. Some people see that as sex gratification. But actually this is another form of service. Jalan is not here. She isn't here. She's sick. She's doing it from home.
Oh I hope you.
Oh I hope she'll get better soon. Okay. Much villain.
I'm a towel.
I have a towel. Towel, shirts. King King Boo. Baby love in Bengali Goo baby is not good. I don't know what it means in Chinese. One whose body is fully surrendered takes shelter at the holy place where Krishna had his pastimes. And he prays to the Lord. My Lord, I'm yours. Understanding this, with his smile he enjoys spiritual bliss. Is there any questions? We have small questions. Yes, yes. Yes. Is blessing you. Yeah. No question. There's so much. Understood. That's okay.
See, I. I slept in the afternoon. 6:30.
Okay. Okay. Good minutes. One whose body is fully sanded takes shelter at the holy place where Krishna had his passer at Marpur D.
My Lord, I am yours.
He prays to Krishna. My Lord, I am yours.
Understanding this, his mind enjoys spiritual bliss.
Understanding this, with his mind he enjoys spiritual bliss.
He wants to start my spiritual work.
He wants to stop my spiritual bliss.
I want to enjoy.
But I want to enjoy spiritual bliss. Thank you, Guru. Blessings please. Normally he writes at the end. The end. But today he wrote some of them. Some of them is the end. Interview. So we heard how Radharani, the eternal potency she takes all the service of the jivas and offer it to Krishna. Gurumaj is blessing all of you.
