Advantage. The following is a Shri Taitanya Shrik Shamita class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on January 31, 2025 in Sridham Mayapur, India.

Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrata as mentioned in the Shimad Bhagavatam 6.3.22 Bhakti Yoga Bhagavadi Emotional service beginning with chanting of the holy name of the Lord is the ultimate religious principle for the living entity in the human society. Krishna, will I say anything? Yeah. Srimad Bhagwatam 6.3-point 22.

How this.

First.

Reveals that Hajiyoga is the best process a human being.

So this verse reveals that Bhakti Yoga is the best process for the human.

Being.

Allah Beginning with the chanting of the Holy Name.

And the verse says beginning with the chanting of the holy Name of the love.

We want to how our heart influence of evil turn off the causes of the Moses.

We want to enthuse the people to take up the process of devotional service starting from chanting the Holy Name. Hare Ka Krishna Bhagavadi is Atma's natural eternal occupational duty Sahaja Dharma Shri Vasudeva took shelter of the natural Samadhi through the help of this Bhakti Yoga. The significance of referring to this Samadhi as Sahaja is because devotion to Ka is very natural easy Sahaja for the soul as the eternal duty. Nithya Dharma of the soul. Krishabati can be called the natural duty Sahaja Dharma of the soul. This is the process of natural Dharma.

Other than just.

So the thing that you're doing every day just do it for Ka.

That way the process of the ultra service very easy.

In that way, the process of devotional service is very easy, very natural.

How loved yoga how to do things.

So it's not that you have to do things which are very difficult.

All of us have us hook will hurt us hard.

Like in the yoga system, you have to sit different asanas for a long time. For Jnana Yoga you have to desire to merge into the Brahma Jyoti.

And yes Krishna.

But in Ka consciousness you just have to be engaged in Krishna's service. Taking shelter of Krishna, the soul realizes. The soul realizes that no natural benefit will come from the no eternal benefit will come from the path of Karma, be it the 18 types of karma Yagyas or the subtle yogas like Ashtanga Yoga. By this my own natural duty of being Krishna's servant will never be gained. Similarly, there is no possibility of my gaining eternal benefit. Eternal benefit by the material knowledge arising from attempts of the subtle body or even by minute spiritual knowledge intended for only spiritual existence.

The easy way to get out Devotional service.

So the easy way to get out is by devotional service. Otherwise, Karma Yoga, Astana Yoga there is no possibility of achieving shelter of Ka.

He had a holy visitor who had for years and practice Patanjali.

So we had a visitor who had been practicing for years Patanjali Ashtanga Yoga. And she was visiting from South India.

In a couple of weeks she felt more happiness chanting Hare Krishna.

In a couple of weeks she felt more happiness chanting Hare Krishna.

She was so much indoctrinated.

But she said she was so much.

Indoctrinated, how is possible I'm feeling more bliss.

And she was saying, how is it possible? I'm feeling more bliss.

Aj O Lord Ramaya.

I should go back to Mahsthana Yoga.

What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong? So people by practicing Astana Yoga, this yoga, that Yoga, they don't take shelter of Krishna.

Even though she doesn't understand why she is feeling more bliss or heaviness.

So even though she was with the devotees practicing, she couldn't understand why she was feeling bliss more happiness while she was chanting Hare Ka. People like this are mentally short centered. All the devotees here they can understand that chanting is better than Yoga.

She was feeling more bliss.

She was feeling more bliss.

She thought I must be doing something wrong.

But she thought I must be doing something wrong.

She was doing Ashtanga.

She was. She was doing Astana Yoga. That's a good word. Can you come to me? That is not as mentioned in The Mundaka Upanishad 1.2.12 a Brahmana must realize the temporary nature of the results of Karma and that the cherished eternal absolute truth which lies beyond the principle of Karma is unattainable through Karma. Hence, he must denounce Karma. To learn transcendental Subject Mantra, one must approach the spiritual master. In doing so, he should carry a fume to burn in sacrifice. The symptom of such a spiritual master is that he is expert in understanding the Vedic conclusion and therefore he constantly engages in the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

All one was so merciful individual and his paradise.

So Prabhupada was so merciful that he gave people the sacrifice.

His eyes are higher.

Chanting Hare Krishna is especially the sacrifice recommended for this Kali Yuga. And you don't have to carry the wood but you have to be able to chant. Please. Okay. Shall we continue? Okay. When no other way is seen, the Jiva living entity cries out by the mercy of the Sadhu and Guru says.

O Krishna, O Krishna. O Savior of the fallen.

O Savior of the fallen. I am your eternal servant.

Suffering have dawn and the ocean of material existence.

Suffering having fallen in the ocean of material existence.

O Lord. O Lord, please show mercy.

Please show mercy.

Give me shelter your lotus victory.

As Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu says in Sri Chaitanya Chaitanya 20.3 My Lord. O Krishna, O son of Bharash Nanda, I'm your eternal servant. But because of my own foolish acts I have fallen into this horrible ocean of messiahs. Now please be causelessly merciful to me. Consider me a particle of dust at your lotus feet. Then the merciful Lord lifts the Jiva up with his old feet quality and shows affection.

Lord Chaitanya he was very merciful, sir.

Lord Chaitanya he was very merciful.

He showed the example how to take shelter alive lotus.

A short example how to take shelter of the lotus feet of Krishna.

Lord Krishna lifts without the Jesus and.

Lord Krishna lifts up the Jiva and his eyes eat with his lotus feet.

And show us great affection.

And shows great affection hearing and chanting in the association of sadhus. When the Jiva does Shravana, Kirtana and Smarana Krishna's name with simple standing up of bodily hair and crying Then the life of Bhava spiritual emotions arise and become manifest. Krishna residing in the heart removes all unearthers, undesirable things and purifies the heart bestowing his own love by his mercy. In this state, those who lack surrender due to pride dry up their hearts through efforts at deceptive meditation and deprived of attaining love with great caution through humility and self surrender. Ka must walk, must brought into the heart. When material logic and effort are completely eradicated, effort are completely eradicated. The eyes of the soul are opened. The vision of the Supreme Lord is revealed. By abandoning bad association and respectful association with Sadhu's unflinching undeviated intelligence is born through the stages of Nishta Gradually Bhava arises for those who are crooked with a crooked heart, crooked heart the path of misfortune is inevitable.

How this action is healing and chanting association of sadhus.

So this text here. Healing and chanting the association of sadhus.

Chanting, hearing and honoring Krishna.

So Thakur Bhakti, we know how by chanting, hearing and remembering Krishna. Section here. Hearing and chanting in the association of sadhus.

Hearts, hearts, perspirants, harsh kingdoms.

One starts to experience the first symptoms of Baba.

Mercy.

But Krishna bestows his own love by mercy.

O that surrender the blind guile. Their hearts are deserted.

So the persons who are deprived of errand, surrender due to pride, dry up their heart through efforts of deceptive meditation. And they.

Attaining love.

And they are deprived of attaining love. So one has to avoid this by bringing Krishna into their hearts with humility, caution and self surrender. When material logic and material efforts completely eradicated. When the eyes of the soul are opened, then the vision of the supreme Lord is revealed.

The Lord is chance desire.

Devotees should have an intense desire to see Krishna.

Gradually the Baba.

In this way, through Mishta gradually the power arises.

A crooked heart.

But if someone has a crooked heart.

Well may as much.

They would be misfortunate.

He said always right.

So you should be sincere and approach Krishna and say that you are fallen and all these things. He is the superstar. He knows what we are thinking. You can't cheat him.

You can reveal to him.

You can serve him and you can reveal to him your mind. Okay? They who are foolish, they who are foolish but not crooked will attain success by performing even the deep reflection of devotional service. However, they those who are crooked do not even gauge the propensity of devotional service. This is a quotation from Bhakti Chandarbha of Shlaji Muka Swami 253rd Anucheta. What grateful soul is there who would not render loving service to such great master as the personality of Godhead? The Lord can be easily pleased by spotless devotees who resort exclusively to him for protection. Through the unrighteous man finds it difficult to to propitiate him. Srimad Bhagavatam 3, 1936 immediately along with the purification of the mind, the realization of transcendental nature. Those who aspire Prema, Prema Ruhukshu who aspires from Prema constantly chant Krishna's name in a simple way. In the association of saints, they do not have a taste for other limbs of something. When concentration on the Holy Name is achieved in short time, the results of Yama, Niyama, Pranayama, Pranayama, Dhyana, Dharana, Pratyahara, restraint, prescribed duties, breath control, meditation, concentration and withdrawal of the senses are effortlessly realized. Even without practicing these aspects, the fluid in the form of tranquil state of mind, Chitta vritti Nirodha occurs by the mercy of the Holy Name. The more the mind is purified, the more the transcendent world's diversity is revealed. In that there is no so much joy that even a fraction of that joy cannot be obtained by other means. What's the difference? Was it different? You didn't hear that? You didn't hear our conversation? I switched off the mic and I spoke.

So highly Chantris pain in a similar way.

So if you chant Krishna's way, even in a simple way, the taste. We get a taste.

I don't have a taste. Maybe any of the other ends of bhakti.

So if you don't have stage, then we have taste. The other limbs of bhakti, they did not have taste of the other limbs of Bhakti.

All the processes.

By chanting, all the processes of Ashtanga Yoga, they are achieved naturally, without any effort.

Hunger and feed a tranquil spirit of life.

So one can achieve the tranquil spirit of the mind by the mercy of the Holy Name. There's so much joy even in little chanting.

But even a passion of that joy cannot be achieved by Zhang.

Even a fraction of that joy cannot be achieved by Astana Yoga, Kyana Yoga. I want all of you to get that joy.

Fill a lot of blessings.

So. And then there are some people. Yeah. Blessing everyone. Okay. And devotees. Let me finish this.
