20250203- Third Stream — Consideration of nāma-bhajana according to the eligibility for prema part 7

Foreign.

That's it. That said.

Yeah.

Okay.

This is from the Adi Purana. There is no knowledge like the Holy Name. No VAV is like the Holy Name. No meditation is like the Holy Name. No result is like the Holy Name. No renunciation is like the Holy Name. No sense control is like the Holy Name. No piety is like the Holy Name. No goal is like the Holy Name. The Holy Name is supreme peace. The Holy Name is supreme abode. The Holy Name is supreme devotion. The Holy Name is supreme intelligence. The Holy Name is supreme love. The Holy Name is supreme memory. The Holy Name is the cause of life. The Holy Name. The Holy Name is the cause of life. The Holy Name is the Lord of the living entity. The Holy Name is the supreme object of worship. The Holy Name is the supreme Guru. There are no rules of time and place in chanting the Holy Name. The Vedic scriptures describe the transcendental and supreme superiority of the Holy Name. Note stuti.

So I've been trying to brush on people to chant the Holy Name.

I have been trying to impress upon people to chant the Holy Name.

Right. The verses translated from the living speechless. How wonderful they are.

But these verses translated from the Adi Puran made me speechless. How wonderful they are.

This holiday. As we know that Islam isn't Krishna.

We know that the Holy Name is non different from Krishna. The name Krishna and the person Krishna are non different.

But how? By chanting the Holy Name, all these wonderful things happen.

And how? By chanting the Holy Name, all these wonderful things happen.

So many people say they can't chant rods, one or two rods. But if they understand how great the.

Holy Name is, many people say that they can chant one or two rounds. But if they understand how great the Holy Name is, then it should be easy to chant from Shruti. Oh Vishnu, your name is completely transcendental. Thus it is self manifested. Indeed, even without properly understanding the glories of chanting your Holy name, if we vibrate your name with at least a small understanding of its glories, that is if we simply repeat the syllables of your Holy Name gradually we shall understand it. O Shri Vishnu, Ever since our faith in you has become steadfast, our desire to gain your direct audience has led us to offer incessant prayers at your lotus feet which are the purifying agents of the hearts of the devotees and replete with relishable transcendental pastimes, we always hear the glorification of your unsurpassable qualities. Praise them amongst ourselves. In this way we have taken shelter of your omnipotent and all purifying Nama O sages, know for certain that the original primeval supreme personality you seek is Sri Krishna. Worship him in this realization, for he is the ultimate goal of the Vedas, the absolute essence. He is the embodiment of eternity, absolute knowledge and divine bliss. The purpose of human life is to know him, to describe him and the wonderful pastimes of his incarnations. Let us eulogize and worship the that Supreme Lord according to our natural spiritual emotions and taste. In this way we shall crown our lives with paramount success and continuously chant Harinam which is dynamic, variegated and omnipotent. To chant Harinam is the most relishable activity, the bestower of the greatest pleasure.

Sad people can understand how much pleasure, how much bliss there is in the Holy Name.

So people can understand how much pleasure, how much bliss there is in the Holy Name.

Has incarnated around the spiritual world.

Lord Chaitanya has incarnated from the spiritual.

World to kill this treasure of the.

Holy Name to give this treasure of the Holy Name.

Holy Name has so much to offer us.

The Holy Name has so much to offer us.

By the Holy Name we are elevated to the spiritual abode and through the.

Holy Name we are elevated to the spiritual abode. From the Holy Name the Vedas others have emanated. O Bhagavan, after careful consideration, your Name is declared to be the best. We engage in Bhajana devotional service. There are no rules for Nama Bhajana chanting the Holy Names. The Name transcends all virtuous deeds. It is a form of spiritual substance. It manifests effulgence. All the Vedas and so on have emerged from this Name. We can perform perfect Bhajana of the Holy Name in the form of supreme Brahman which is the embodiment of supreme bliss. Chanting the Holy Name is more comprehensible and accessible compared to understanding the true form of the soul. Since the Holy Name is the form of beautiful learning, manifestation of aesthetic knowledge. Hence it is described as both the mean Sadhana and the goal. Sadhya, you are supremely worshipable. Your lotus feet are the ultimate refuge. We repeatedly offer our obeisances to those lotus feet for the Sadhana of the ultimate welfare of the self. Devotees discuss the Tattva of the Holy Name among themselves and proclaim its glories. Knowing your name to be the form of transcendence, they hold it. Your devotees always sing hearing the song of the Name in the form of your glories being chanted. In that they become Purified. The Name is the Truth. The Holy Name is the condensed form of existence, consciousness and bliss. Satchi Dhananda Gana the form of truth, of the Mother of the Vedas. Oh Vishnu, by the mercy of the Name we are able to glorify you. We will worship only your name.

Maybe we don't think so much about holiness.

Maybe we don't think so much about the Holy Name.

But after reading at the hearing these different verses.

After hearing, after reading these different verses from the Vedas, we start.

To appreciate how wonderful.

We could start to appreciate how wonderful is the Holy Name. The Rig Veda has a verse which has this phrase. Sachidananda Gana Krishna, Adipurusha Krishna Purushottama.

So it is not that Krishna is not mentioned.

It is not that Krishna is not mentioned in the Vedas. But it is mixed up many things with many things.

And Yasda was feeling unhappy because they were feeling unhappy.

Vyasade was feeling unhappy.

That's what.

Because he approached his Guru, the son of Lord Brahma, Narada Muni after He had written 17 Puranas, Mahabharata, 108 Upanishads. I'm still not feeling satisfied.

What can I do? What? What? What's wrong?

So what can I do? What's wrong? So Narada Muni said that that is.

A write up book assembly while lies.

So Darada Muni said that he should write a book which simply glorifies the name and pastimes of Lord Krishna and his different avatars.

That's how we got Sri Lanka.

That's how we got the Srimad Bhagavatam.

Vasudev wrote that he was completely satisfied.

Vyasadev wrote that and he was completely satisfied. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has spoken about the glories of the Holy Name in his Shikshastaka Chandrika Vitaranam Vidya Vadu Ji Vanam Anandhambudi Vardhanam Pratipadam Purnam Ritasvadanam Sarvatma Snapnam Param Vijayate Sri Krishna Sankirtanam. Let there be all victory for the chanting of the holy name of Lord Krishna which can cleanse the mirror of the heart and stop the miseries of the blazing fire of material existence. That chanting is the waxing moon that spreads the white lotus of good fortune for all living entities. It is the life and soul of all education. The chanting of the Holy Name of Krishna expands the blissful ocean of transcendental life. It go. It gives a cooling effect to everyone and enables one to taste full nectar at every step.

Starts.

With glorifying the Holy Name.

And the Holy Name purifies our consciousness, our heart.

The Holy Name purifies our consciousness and our hearts.

Says the consciousness like a mirror colored with dust.

It says how the consciousness is like a mirror covered with dust.

This chanting of the Holy Name is like a cloth wipes all the dust.

And the chanting of the Holy Name is like a cloth which wipes off the dust.

Eight verses.

So Lord Chaitanya wrote only eight verses.

Disciples wrote many books.

His disciples, like Rupa and Sanatana wrote many books.

He only wrote eight.

He only wrote eight verses. Eight verses.

This is the first one.

This is the first one. My Lord. O supreme personality of God. In your Holy Name there is all good fortune for the living entity. And therefore you have many names such as Krishna and Govinda by which you expand yourself. You have invested all your potencies in those names. And there are no hard and fast rules for remembering them. My dear Lord, although you bestow such mercy upon the fallen conditioned souls by liberally teaching your Holy Names. I am so unfortunate that I commit offenses while chanting the Holy Names. And therefore I do not achieve attachment. For chanting.

Is. And he came down to establish Sankirtan of the Holy Names.

Lord Chaitanya is Krishna. And he came down to establish the Sankirtan of the Holy Names.

And.

This verse tells us how the Lord is so merciful to give a Holy Name.

This verse tells us how the Lord is so merciful to give us the Holy Name.

And how thus rule, time, place, herbs.

And how there are no hard and fast rules. And there are no time, place and circumstances to chant the Holy Names.

And.

What is he saying? I. I. I don't have any attachment because I commit offenses.

But he's saying that I don't have any attachment because I commit offenses.

So Bhakti Sidanda, Saraswati. He presented himself very fallen, unqualified.

So Bhakti Srila, Bhakti Siddhanta, Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada presented himself as very fallen and unqualified.

Is that little china author flowers?

He said.

Being a ditch eating rice.

So he said, you people are trying to offer me flowers. But I should be in a ditch and insects and eaten by insects.

So he was presenting himself very humbly.

So he was presenting himself very humbly.

He challenges people. Why do you think your call side.

Trust my feet so and in this particular mood he. He challenged people. Why do you think you're qualified to touch my.

We should be humble.

So he teaches us that we should be humble. The method of chanting the Holy Name has also been explained. He has also hinted at the gradual process of of Nama Bhajan. In the eight verses through the verse Trinadapi Sunicena he said the characteristics how to engage in Nama Bhajan while giving up the 10 offenses against the Holy Name to chant with causeless devotion. That he said in the verse Nadhanam na Janam How Vignapti requests an entreaty is he said in the verse Ay nanda Tanuja the way to engage in the moods of union and separation. Sambhoga vripralamba in Raja Bhajana following Rmati Radharani that he said in the last two verses. The scriptures elaborate so much on the glories of the Holy Name that if it were to be included in this small book, it would become as voluminous as the Sri Hari Bhakti Vilas. Therefore, without further describing the glories of the Holy Name, we will now tell little about the process of Nama Bhajana.

There's some lots to be said about worshiping the Holy Name.

There is so much to be said about worshiping the Holy Name.

How that religiously we heard about Bhati Sandra Tagore, he was prescribing 64 Balas for his inmates in Ashram.

Srila Prabhupada explained to us that Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Chakura he was recommend. He was recommending 64 rounds of mala for the inmates of his ashram.

One lakh.

That's one lakh.

So I heard Prabhupada's God brother, I.

Heard from one of Prabhupada's God brothers.

Went and did blood.

For those who went and did book distribution.

He said they could 16 rounds.

He said they could chant 16 rounds.

16 rounds. But then now you see right here, as far as I should all preach.

Srila Prabhupada told us that we could chant 16 rounds. But now we could see how he wanted all of us to preach.

And here every Friday in the evening, English by a lady.

Here in Sridhar Mayapur on Friday mornings, the Srimad Bhagavatam class in English is usually given by a Vaishnavi, a lady.

I just heard how some ladies in Chile are luxury and people are very, very happy.

I just heard how some ladies in Chile are lecturing and people are very happy.

So we want everyone to preach.

So we want everyone to preach.

I'm thinking that we have our Bengali class evening in the temple usually.

I was thinking that usually we have the Bengali class in the temple in the evening.

Maybe we could have English and Bengali, Bengali and holidays.

Maybe we could have English and Bengali on alternate days in the Panchatatva extension or the tovp.

We want all our men and women the ice throat in explaining Shastra.

We want all our men and women to be expert in explaining Shastra.

Having a daughter saying that if he were to put all these of the high now and very large.

Thakur is saying that if he were to put all the glories of the holy names, the book would become very large.

So he said I understand how important.

So we should understand how important it is to chant Hare Krishna. Go Ranga Nithyananda Harina. The next portion is about Nama Bhajan.

You. So apparently Jalangi went to the hospital operation.

Apparently Jalangi who translates the class to Chinese went to the hospital for an operation. So let's chant Hare Krishna for our well being. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hari Hari.
