The following is a Shri Taitanya Shrik Shamita class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on January 30, 2025 in Sridham Mayapur.

Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we'll be continuing from the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamilta Vaishla Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur. I would like to know how many of you like the class by Mahavarah Prabhu. Guru. Only few of us were here and devotees weren't here. So he gave class for us from the Bhagavatam.

They weren't here.

They weren't here. Why not? They didn't come. Gurma. That's all right.

I shall.

I.

Shall dress. I will pass.

He didn't say that. I told you that he will give class on your behalf. He didn't come forward to say that he'd give class. See the conversation. I told you, Guru Maharaj, you can give class. That's you can take rest on your behalf. Mahavara Prabhu can give class. Then he said, okay, if you take rest, then I'll give class. That's what he says.

They were here.

They weren't here. They didn't hear. But we heard. We heard Gurmas.

We heard all mercy.

Yes.

Yes. Yeah, we got his mercy.

More. Yes. Rava. Many times he said the order of the order of the Guru Islands.

So we add to the Bhagavad Gita Vishla Prabhupada's Bhagavad Gita. Vaishla Prabhupada says the order of the Guru should be taken as one's life and soul.

I told us he is too much.

He said that's too much.

I never know who made that statement.

I never know who made the statement. But Prabhupada took it very seriously.

Even around the world and as zealots.

By hearing that, he went around the world and established Ka consciousness.

I recently heard that Vishwana shot of Lord Ji Java.

I recently heard it was Vishwanath Chakravarti Kapu. He made the statement.

Ralph Willis. How many times he mentioned the Rajagarjit.

We have read in Srila Prabhupada's books and purports. How many times he has mentioned Vishwana Chakravarti Tao.

I didn't know he was by who Rallah was inspired.

So. So you know that he was the one by whom Srila Prabhupada was inspired to deliver fallen souls like you. So now we are going through the work of Srila Bhakti Nata Thakur and.

Reservoir on our bus. What is the way? What is the result?

So if you don't get rid of the Ananthas what is the way? What is the result? Anantha is the misconception of one's own nature Swa Swarupa Brahma and the misconception of Krishna's nature Krishna Swarupa Brahma. From this Anantha is the entrance of turning away from Krishna, Krishna Bahir Mukatha and as a result gradually entering the cycle of Maya on the path of Karma. This is the cause of the world full of happiness and sorrow. By giving up the endeavor of being averse to Krishna which is the reasoning born out of material knowledge in the form of discarding irrelevant aspects Atan Nirasana through the practices of Ashtanga Yoga in the path of Karma Marga and Shantyavicha in the path of Jnanamarga and when one takes shelter of Bhakti Yoga only then through the simple Samadhi of the Jiva by pure light of knowledge to all principles become clear. Material happiness and so on is seen as trivial as and love for Ka for Wiccans. When there is faith in pure Bhakti the living entity's innate effort arises. Only by this happens the mercy of spiritual son Sri Krishna. Without the strength of this mercy there is no other means to eradicate unwanted things Anartha in attaining self upliftment. So someone told me a pastime of.

Srila Prabhupada Prabhupada times we will take our bike.

So Prabhupada was lecturing what was the last part?

Telling people taking all Bhakti telling people.

To take up bug feet.

And one person stood up and said should we enjoy life?

And one person stood up and said shouldn't we enjoy life?

And after real enjoy life come back to Krishna and be a better body.

And after enjoying life we can come back to Krishna and we can be a better devotee.

Call on Shalom. If that was true, praise would be the best of allies.

If that was true then peace would be the best devotees.

So.

Actually we see that in devotional service there is more happiness.

But we have to go through the stage of switching over from material happiness and sorrow to grants.

Actually we have to go through the switching over from material happiness and sorrow. What was elastic.

Hazel calories to transcendental.

Happiness.

Usually starts off a little subtle.

It initially starts off little subtle and then it gradually increases until one is completely overwhelmed by spiritual love.

They will misunderstand. Misconception.

So people misunderstand. They have misconceptions about Ka consciousness, pleasure. They think that the material world is bliss pleasure and the spiritual world is dry and austere.

This is the Indwell stage.

See, this is the indering stage.

Indram stage.

Entering stage Indra.

When I see.

So people they see from this stage why these devotees are eating prasha. They are not eating meat and fish.

Only how it starts within marriage.

They only have sex within marriage.

They are the same things.

Like this. They are seeing things from a material viewpoint.

They don't actually understand Krishna is transcendental.

But they don't actually understand that Krishna.

Is transcendental and his service is our real nature.

And his service is our real nature. Chai 3.2.3 and 4. Okay. This is a translation of those verses from the Upanishad. The Supreme Lord is not obtained by expert explanations, by vast intelligence or even by much hearing. Is obtained only by one whom He Himself chooses. To such a person he manifests his own form. The Supreme Lord is not attained by one who has no spiritual strength, devotional service, who is spoiled or careless or whose austerities are not appropriate. The Lord appears before a person who strives by right means, spiritual strength, sober, sober tactfulness and appropriate austerity to attain Him. Such a person enters the spiritual world. Srila Prabhupada's interpretation of the first line of this verse. One cannot attain the goal of life without the mercy of Balaram. Without the mercy of Balaram you cannot understand. You cannot realize your spiritual identification. The Prabhupada is that one cannot attain the supreme platform by self realization without being sufficiently favored by Balaram. Bala means Bala does not mean physical strength. No one can attain spiritual perfection by physical strength. One must have spiritual strength which is infused by Balaram. San Krishna Pranatra or Sheshanath is the source of the power which sustains all planets in their different conditions.

Ramanuja.

Ramanuja is said to be the incarnation of Krishnada.

Before he came.

Before he came, it was very difficult to get initiation in the Sri Sampradaya.

All around is the source of Anandra. His sin is Yoga. It was.

Upon. Aram is the source of Anantha. He seems to be giving blessings to Ramanujan.

He had to approach Guru 18 times.

In order for Ramanuja to get initiation, he had to approach his guru for 18 times.

Each time he was refused.

Each time he was refused. Finally on the 18th time, he was accepted. Like our parent Guru Devesh Bhakti, Siddhartha Saraswati Thakur.

At the Ravanaj of the Hindu Guru.

After Ramanuja became a guru, he initiated so many people. It's called Simhasanadipatis means 64 people who propagate Sri Vaishnavism. They have like mats or whatever, but it's called simhasanadipathis. He established 64. Can't hear. Can you hear me right now? He established 64 MUDs to propagate Vaishnavism.

There are 700 sannyasis.

He had 700 sannyasis. 30,000 disciples.

Sorry.

Yes.

Sorry.

Anyway, we need the mercy of Balaram who's Lord Nithyananda in Chaitanya. It's coming at the end of this month. Before that, Vyasadevas and Narada Muni's conversation. In the path of pure devotion, simple faith is the root cause of natural Samadhi. When the auspicious day of Vyasa's realization dawned, doubts arose regarding all the arrangements of Karma Khanda primitive activities and Jnanakanda philosophical research. According to the questions of his spiritual master Sri Narada Goswami, he said to him, O Lord, I have indeed acquired all the knowledge you have spoken of. Yet why does my soul remain unsatisfied? O son of Brahma, please tell me the incomprehensible unspoken root cause of this condition. I am extremely distressed in seeking your guidance and seeking your guidance as mentioned in the Bhagavatam 1.5.5 Shri Vyasadeva said, all you have said about me is perfectly correct. Despite all things, I am not pacified. I therefore question you about the root cause of my dissatisfaction. For you are a man of unlimited knowledge due to your being the offspring of one Brahma who is self born without mundane father and mother. Then Narada Goswami said, O Vyasa, you have not ended her to make the pure transcendental pastimes of Bhagavan arise the way you have extensively described the four pursuit, Dharma, Artha, Karma and Moksha in other Puranas, Vedanta Sutras and R. Mahabharata. Due to this, you are not feeling satisfaction in your own smallness. The extreme establishment of Varnasrama as the eternal duty Swadharma for the condition soul has caused great discrepancy. If Someone renounces such temporary Swadharma and engages in Hari Bhajan devotion to Hari and falls down in an immature state, what is his loss in that? In other hand, if one remains steadfast, steadfast in such temporary Swadharma and does not engage in Hari Bhaja, what rare benefit does he achieve in that.

Congress around all the shastras?

So this Grasadev who wrote all the.

Shastras wasn't feeling satisfied.

He wasn't feeling satisfied.

A lot of money. Who is the son of Ramadev Narada.

Muni who is the son of Brahmadev.

Naratoni? In the previous life he was a mere boy, a son of Mazar Narutoni.

In his previous life he was a mere boy, the son of a maidservant.

That's why Naruni son of Lord Rama.

In his next life he became Narad Muni, the son of Lord Brahma Rishi Devan Rishi.

He was Moses. All the Rishi in the whole universe.

Is the most exalted Rishi in the whole universe. How important it is for us to engage in devotional service.

Anonymous to Arjuna.

Narad Muni gave this instruction to Vyasadev. Therefore we have this Bhagavatam as mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavatam 1.5.701 who has forsaken his material occupations to engage in the devotional service of the Lord and may sometimes fall down while in an immature stage. Yet there is no danger of him being unsuccessful. On the other hand, a non devotee, though fully engaged in occupational duty does not gain anything from this instruction. It is known that there is no other way without Haribajan devotion service the Lord by taking exclusive shelter of the holy name and worship of Heli the living entity attains all benefits. So Lord Chaitanya is the most merciful.

On his There is process of this consciousness.

In his process of Ka consciousness. If they want one can get married.

Most of the others as a Dhana. Not all of them were married.

So not most of the followers of Lord Chaitanya not all of them were married devotional spirits and they engaged in devotional service.

I told one of my disciples over the united I told one of my.

Disciples who wanted to get married.

He unearthed either six months his ones.

His wife is six months expecting.

Every day he goes up and sells at least 60 bhagwat of sex.

Every day he goes out and sells at least 60 Bahlas of sex.

You don't do service.

It's not that if you're married you don't do service.

You want the Lord devotees to do service.

We want devotees to do service.

In London.

In 1973 in his Rajpuja in London.

He said that he wanted his free astray disciples who they are Paramahamsas Srila.

Prabhupada said that he wanted his Grahasta followers to be Paramhamsas.

They wanted Acharyas.

And he wanted Acharyas to be born.

Certainly a lot of Acharyas.

Because he said that we need a lot of Acharyas.

I don't think I'll ever spoil one of those.

I don't think anyone ever has spoken like this else have ever spoken about this. O King. Constant chanting of the holy name of the Lord after the ways of the great authorities is the doubtless and fearless way of success for all. Including those who are free from all material desires, those who are desirous of all material enjoyment and also those who are self satisfied by the dint of transcendental knowledge. 21:11 Sriman Bhagavatam.

So.

08:17. Three more minutes. Three, 08:17. Three more minutes.

I have a holder. I haven't seen the D yet.

Oh. I haven't seen the DTS yet. So. Super match. Yeah. We'll end here. Yeah.

Not good. Not worse.

Wow.

Through line one verse.

So this is a very important verse.

By chanting holy name of the Lord.

By chanting the holy name of the Lord 1 are free from all material desires. And what was the last fight of match?

Those who have hands themselves as my wholesale knowledge.

Those who have self satisfied by the dint of transcendental knowledge.

The system.

So Prabhupada gave us the system. We can receive this.

And.

This is doubtless and fearless way of success.
