20250124- Third Stream — Consideration of nāma-bhajana according to the eligibility for prema part 2

Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will be reading from Sri Chaitanya Sikshamita of Shla Sachiran and the bhakti Vinod Thakur. Stream 6 Stream 6 Analysis of Prema Taking exclusive shelter in the Holy Name Single minded devotees Exclusive single minded devotees take the Holy Name as their exclusive refuge among all relimbs of devotion. They have a greater taste for the remembrance and chanting of the Holy Name. By constantly remembering Vasudeva, one is not bound by the sorrows of birth, old age and disease nor by the bonds of material existence. Other names of devotions are not as easy to perform as the Holy Name of the Lord which is pure and spiritual. In Haribhakti Vilasa more glorification of remembrance and chanting of the Holy Name among all the exclusive deities have been described.

How are the the Lord is of.

Iskhan.

Of the Holy Name.

Srila Prabhupada gave to the devotees of Iskcon the chanting of the Holy Name and the shelter of the Holy Name. So the Holy Name is non different from Krishna. Chanting the holiday means immediately you can get the association of Krishna. Remembering Krishna in his glories Only exclusive devotees duties has been described. So Krishna's pastimes were written by Srila Prabhupada in the Krishna book, later pastimes and the philosophy as well. So I've written a compilation of all these books dealing mainly with the pastimes.

Of the Lord.

That was done up.

Here.

And then it was sent for editing. Do you like that?

Some of you are here and some of you are not here.

Some of you were here and some of you were not here. Because recently they asked me a few questions. So wherever we are we can always immediately take the shelter of the Holy Name.

Some Pujaris.

Some Pujaris take shelter of Archana or.

Those are horses like that different process.

That the easiest to perform is the chanting of the Holy Name. So the devotees chant every day at least 16 rounds. Of course we like to promote the chanting of the Holy Name. Some devotees resist. I can't chant 16 rounds. I can chant eight or four but.

Actually since first I'll do a But.

Actually since Krishna and his name is non different, the more you chant avoiding the offenses, the better it is. The more you chant offenselessly, the better it is. Single minded devotees engage in Lord Ketanam and Smalam with great love and they are not interested in any other activities. They desire to serve the lotus feet of the Deity in a specific mood according to Vyarasa and independent. This is Vibhi. They spontaneously on their own engage in following other daily rules and regulation prescribed in the Shastras. Pure devotees in the renounced order, however, who fully surrender to the lotus feat of Ka should chant the holy name of the Lord with great love and faith. Always thinking of Ka's lotus feet. We should have no occupation other than chanting the Holy Name of the Lord. The scriptures state that that there is no any difference between the Holy Name of Ka and Ka himself. Since the Name is transcendental like a touchstone Chintamani, the Name has manifested as the form of KA's all transcendent in.

Mellow.

Nama Chintamani is Krishna Chaitangira Savikah. So here the devotees are chanting Hare Krishna. In the temple the devotees chant Hare Krishna. Sometime when I go for darshan, the devotees are chanting the Holy Name.

The holiday purifies our heart.

The Holy Name purifies our heart. It keeps our mind fixed and love Sri Krishna. So by chanting the Holy Name, we are automatically meditating on Krishna. Lord Chaitanya prayed in the Sikshastaka.

That.

The chanting of the Holy Name cleans the consciousness like cleaning a dusty mirror and our consciousness becomes clean. Although some devotees, some of them don't see the importance of chanting.

Because so.

Chanting is the best way. All of them, all the devotees to advance the Holy Name of Krishna is transcendently blissful. The Holy Name of Ka is transcendently blissful. It bestows all spiritual benediction. For it is Krishna himself, the reservoir of all pleasure. Krishna's name is complete and is the form. And it is the form of all transcendental levels. It is not a material name under any condition. And it is no less powerful than Krishna himself. Since Krishna's name is not contaminated by the material qualities, there is no question of its being involved with Maya. Ka's name is always liberated and spiritual. It is never conditioned by the laws of material nature. This is because the name of Ka and Krishna himself are identical. So Krishna is unlimitedly powerful. There is no difference between him and his name. So we have the unlimited power of Krishna in our tongue. Then we are chanting Hare Krishna. By chanting your holy name, they get spiritually bliss. They get the spiritual bliss. Here it says transcendentally blissful. One can get all benediction from Krishna's name. I mean, it's inconceivable, the power of the Holy Name. So by saying that it has same power as Krishna, that means it is unlimited. Krishna, Krishna. When people ask why do we chant Hare Krishna? So you know what to answer them? The Surup Gyan of the Holy Name is the cause of progress in devotional service. Those who desire to realize the true nature of Ka and His Holy Name must put effort into realizing the spiritual truth. As long as one does not realize the nature of the spiritual truth one cannot become expert in devotional service. Therefore, how can the goal of Sadhana practice the attainment of the desired object Sadhgya be achieved? The only cause of progress in devotional service is the attainment of knowledge of the nature of the spiritual truth is very merciful. But he has put great effort in translating the Gita Bhagavad as the matter of devotion. These four books are enough to take you back home, back to Godhead. So I saw here in my portion. Papa was getting up in the midnight and translating till to the early morning. Sometimes he would call me at 1:30 or 2 in the morning. I washed my face and feet went down thighs.

I bow down.

And I asked Srila Prabhupada what seva I could offer for a moment. And then he would tell me what he wants. Then he would say I can go. We were on call 247 anytime day or night. What's the gu? He didn't have to knock down.

Okay, okay.

Just ring the bell and say could say call Jayapataka Swami if you'd like to know the true nature of Krishna in order to beat the athlete.

And we will apply all this spiritual.

Jew into the inquiring of the spiritual truth.

And he was encouraging the Lord's reading, sir.

And in Srila Prabhupada he wrote the books and he was encouraging the devotees to read it. So I got my Bhakti Vedanta But I'm finding not much time for Bhakti Chaitamita. I eat it every night. So this is an amazing book describing the absolute truth. Describes the absolute truth.

Sorry.

Krishna is very wonderful. His activities are transcendental. He is more merciful in his form as Lord Chaitanya. His mercy is unlimited. When Srila Prabhupada Sometimes when he would describe about Lord Chaitanya's mercy he would spread his hand and would say unlimited. Unlimited. Unlimited mercy.

How.

He even gave his mercy to Shivananda's dog. He was a stray dog. Somehow he became a certified took responsibility for him. Like how for all the devotees he.

Was taking he does 12 hours.

He pays paid tax. In the last day he disappeared.

And he was in great anxiety.

And he was in great anxiety.

But then he observed the dog.

And he Saw the dark. He was feeding him pieces of coconut.

So like this.

So like this. Even a dog can get the mercy of Lord Chaitanya. The dialysis got jammed today until twice they were playing around with it. Basically they were troubleshooting. So I took breakfast pre lunch lunch pre dinner in the dialysis room. So I had my meeting with Alhadini Radha and Hai Leela regarding the boat and things are going on and these activities are going on. Wanted a boat service from Kolkata to Mayapur with a stop in Panihati. Sir, he gave me the responsibility to locate and take responsibility of the port service. Seems that we have found a person. But I asked them to do more research. I was just thinking maybe Panihati would like to do.

All right.

Like this. My day was in the dialysis room. Please bless all the devotees. Blessings. How much blessings? So tomorrow is Sattula Ethagasi and it's Saturday. But Guru Mahj would not be giving class in the temple. It is Srila Prabhupada who would be giving class in the temple. But we'll be giving on Sunday. Prabhupada.
