The following is a Shri Caitanya Shrik Shamita class given by His Holiness Jaya Patanka Swami Maharaj on February 25, 2025 in Sri Ramayapur, India.

Hare Krishna Dear buddies, today we'll continue our reading from Sri Chaitanya, those who carry the burden of external rituals and Salagrahi, those who drink the essence. Those who are engaged in Pajan are divided into two categories. That is, some are Varavahi and some are those who desire enjoyment and liberation and are attached to the material material world are burdened with the weight of Dharma, religiosity and Artha wealth, sense gratification and moksha liberation. They cannot understand that the essence is love. Therefore, the Barahi does not make progress in Bhajan with many attempts. Even after much effort, the Sarav Rahis aiming towards the principle of love attain the desired state very quickly. They are Prema Rudukshu who are eager for love. They are the ones who quickly become Prema ruddha who have reached love or become natural Paramahamsa. Can you scroll up? If ever the Bharavahi learn to appreciate the essence in the Sadhu Sangha, then they too quickly become Prema ruddha.

So Prabhupada wanted all three Paramahansas.

So Prabhupada wanted you all to be Paramahansas evil.

By drinking Sarahi drinking the essence.

So in order to do that you have to drink Saragrahi drinking the essence.

Can I have some of that essence?

Can I have some of that essence? Grandma is asking for something. Bhajana, Bharavahi and Saragrahi are absorbed in Dharma Artha Kama Moksha and they do not have love for Krishna.

Saurabh Aiming a lot.

The Sara Brahis are aiming for love and they obtain perfection very quickly. They are natural paramahamsas.

Allah Bahi if everyone could appreciate the association of the devotees, the Sadhus if.

Ever the Bharavahi learn to appreciate the association of the devotees, they too can also quickly achieve Prema.

Prema. Festival we are having Sadhu Sadh.

So in this festival we are having Sadhu Sangha. Note r. Bhagavatam Canto 2746 surrendered souls even from groups leading sinful lives such as women, the neighboring class, the mountaineers and the Siberians, or even the birds and beasts can also Know about the science of Godhead and become liberated from the clutches of the illusory energy by surrendering unto the pure devotees of the Lord and by following in their footsteps in devotional service, faith and association with saints. Sadhu Sangha.

Prabhupada on 7 the 9th canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam.

So Prabhupada said in the ninth canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam when it comes.

To Ka consciousness, man, woman.

Whether man, woman, Sudra, they're all equal. Anyone here from Siberia? No, no one's raising their hand. I went there freezes in the winter when you spit. It freezes before it touches the ground. Hits the ground. So there's the Urals and then Siberia. How is going from? I'm not familiar with the capital of the earls. Edenburg, Etenberg, Eatenberg. Edenburg. From Tim to Ekaterinburg Ethan Karinburg Ethan Karinburg Ekaterian book Ekaterinburg. I can Burke. I can turn Burke.

I learned a little firm. And there's only one drive. If your car stops, you'll die.

Yeah, I was coming from there and they told me, don't stop the car because don't drive. Oh, don't drive.

The car may stop.

The car may stop and then you might die.

Go by train.

Go by train.

Ekerran Road by train.

So I went from Eckhterenberg to Perm by train.

Colonel she was a lady.

And then there was one colonel in the army, she was a lady. She said, I have a picture of your God. And she showed me a picture of Saiboa.

Not.

Anyways, I taught her how to chant Panchatatattva Mantra and Hare Ka Mantra.

She was in charge of one.

She was in charge of one initial nuclear warhead. Yes. On the strength of many lifetimes of sukriti inclined towards devotion Bhakti un mukhi one develops faith in the path of devotion. This faith gives a taste for the association of devotees. Engaging in bhajan with pure devotees gives rise to sadhana Bhakti inclined towards love. By accepting the method of sadhana from the mercy of pure devotees, one soon becomes Prema Rurukshu. One who is eager for love. By learning Bhajana from mixed devotees are those only appearing as devotees. Bhakta Abhas love remains distant and cannot become pure. Unalloyed in this condition obstacles anarthas remain strong and do not allow one to appreciate devotees. Crookedness enters the heart, making it deceitful. Practitioners in this condition often spend many lifetimes as Kanishta Adhikaris, neophytes. The faith of a neophyte is very tender and always guided by fickleness. They receive some type of guru or same type of guru in Sadhu Sangha with and saints is necessary to eliminate the restlessness of their hearts. To remove the restlessness of their hearts, they receive instruction in archana from the guru according to the path of the scriptures. Through prolonged practice of archana, faith in the holy name develops. When faith happens in the Holy name, then inclination for Nama Hajna and the pure Sadhu Sangha happens.

So today they are recharging. Son of Otter.

Today they were discussing some Sadhana bhakti.

Becomes spontaneous.

And they said that eventually Sadhana bhakti becomes spontaneous.

But here we see the remains of Sadhana bhakti.

But here we see different kinds of Sadhana bhakti.

One who wants to Bhakti towards Krishna.

One who does Sadhana bhakti towards Krishna.

They're called Bhakti or Mukti Bhakti.

They're called Bhakti and Mukhi.

One who is eager to achieve Bhakti.

One who is eager to achieve Bhakti.

He is blind towards devotion, incline towards devotion. So if one incline to the ocean.

Then.

One can quickly rise to the lonely devotion level.

So if one is inclined towards devotion, one can quickly rise to the loving devotional level.

So I brought our Gita Sadhana challenge all the other day reading Ramadan.

So like that, Prabhupada gave us Sadhana, chanting Japa every day, reading the Srimad Bhagavatam, the Gita.

Chanting the holy name.

Or chanting the holy name is right. So in this way one can be elevated towards bhakti.

Achieve Bhakti, the anarthas unwanted habits very strong.

So if one doesn't achieve Bhakti, then the anarthas the unwanted habits are very strong and one can become very crooked in the heart.

Deceitful.

Deceitful. Yeah. I read this evidence. By the deity of worship, one can achieve pure chanting.

One has faith the holy Name, then Nam Bhajana. In the pure Sadhu Sangha covenant, when.

One has faith in the Holy Name, then nam Bhajana and pure Sadhusanga happens. So this is from Bhakti Sundarva Anu Cheta 284. The substance of all the Vedic mantras is the chanting of the holy name of the Lord. Every mantra begins with the prefix Nama Omn and eventually addresses by name the supreme personality of Godhead by the supreme will of the Lord, there is a specific potency in each and every mantra chanted by great sages like Narada, Muni and other Rishis. To chant the holy name of the Lord one need not depend upon other paraphernalia for one can immediately get all the desired results of linking with the supreme personality of Godhead which is the ultimate and supreme goal of life. Although the chanting of the holy names of the Lord is more capable than the mantras, nevertheless generally a devotee is addicted to many abominable material habits due to material contamination from his previous life. In order to get quick relief from all these contaminations, it is required that one engage in the worship of the Lord in the temple. The worship of the Deity in the temple is essential to reduce one's restlessness due to the contaminations of conditioned life. Thus, Nrada in his Pancharatrika Vidhi and other great sages have sometimes stressed that that since every conditioned soul has a bodily concept of life aimed at sense enjoyment, to restrict the sense enjoyment, the rules and regulations for worshipping the deity in the temple are essential. Sriya Rupa Goswami has described that the holy name of the Lord can be chanted by liberated souls. But almost all of the souls we have to initiate are conditioned. It is advised that one chant the holy name of the Lord without offenses and according to the regulatory principles. Yet due to their past bad habits, they violate these rules and regulations. Thus the regulative principles for worship of the deity are also simultaneously essential. Salt.

Builder souls can chant holiness.

So liberated souls can chant the holy names purely. So how many are but how many are liberated.

Hollers and vision Souls mountain chantise now.

So all of the conditioned souls that chant Hare Krishna and are.

Initiated the worship of the deity, the devil and also the Kabo, the worship.

Of the so the worship of the deity in the temple is also very important. So in the temple there are other rules, many rules and.

This is like channel quite an advantages.

So just like chanting harinam there are 10 offenses to avoid. But in deity worship there's like 64 offenses to avoid.

O Lord, the 10 offenses.

So deity worship helps you avoid also the 10 offenses to the holy name. So taking shelter of the feet of guru who knows the tattva of the holy name. For those fortunate individuals who have exclusive faith in Krishna's holy name from the very beginning, for them the process is different. By Krishna's mercy they take shelter of a guru who knows the tattva of the holy name. So Prabhupada says in a Prayer that he offered when coming to America when coming to America. That.

He had no education.

That he had no education. But he had faith in the Holy Name.

He had the tattva of the Holy Name. He knew the tattva.

So he knew the tattva of the Holy Name.

Devotees were chanting Hare Krishna.

So when he was taking sannyas, there were devotees who were chanting Hare Krishna.

And someone told them, go away.

And someone told them to go away. But he put his hand and said, keep going, keep going.

Because he had so much faith in the Holy Name.

Because he had so much faith in the Holy Name.

Spot on the world, all the other stylists, Islam, great faith, knowledge and part of the process.

So around the world, Prabhupada installed many temples in great faith in your Holy Name. Ants.

As a chant at least 16 rounds Holy Krishna.

And everyone who takes initiation has to chant at least 16 rounds of hare Ka, Right? So we're giving the same process. One who can recognize a Vaishnava, guru and teacher of knowledge, to be like Vishnu and worship him with one's speech, mind and body, is a knower of Shastra and the Vaishnava. Even if he speaks a quarter of a verse, he is certainly to be worshipped always. How much more this is so of the one who spreads Lord Vishnu's Swarupa. The Swarupa herein is his name, form, qualities and pastimes, all of which are transcendental. Lord Sri Mahprabhu has determined the qualifications of the guru who knows the science of Ka. So Krishna here is stating who can be a guru, whether one is a Brahmana, a Sannyasi or a sudra. Regardless of what he is, he can become a spiritual master if he knows the science of ka. Caitanya Chaitamrita Madhya 8128 so this is from R. Caitanya Charitamrita Mahdi Leela 15 110. The Holy Name of Lord Ka is an attractive feature for many saintly liberal people. It is the annihilator of all sinful reactions and is so powerful that, save for the Dhamma who cannot chant it, it is readily available to everyone, including the lowest type of man, the Chandala. The holy name of Krishna is the controller of the opulence of liberation and it is identical with Ka. When a person simply chants the Holy Name with his tongue, immediate effects are produced. Chanting the Holy Name does not depend on initiation, pious activities or the Purusharya, regulative principles generally observed before initiation. The Holy Name does not wait for any of these activities. It is self sufficient. This mantra merely touching the tongue yields results being composed of Sri Krishna's name said by Sri Dhar Swami, ancient commentator on the Srimad Bhagavatam scroll Scroll. Even though in the science of the holy name Nama Tattva there is no necessity for a diksha guru, the Nama Tattva Guru, the guru of the science of names is naturally established. One may receive the syllables of the name everywhere. However, the profound truth contained within the name is revealed only by the mercy of a pure devotee Guru. It is only by the Guru's mercy that one transcends the Nam Uphsa stage and is protected from offenses against the Holy Name.

And go up step by step.

So we change the holy name and we go up step by step away.

Oh God.

So while we're going up, there's the Anarta Navriti stage where we're clearing away all the bad habits.

Just like before initiation.

So just like before initiation, people chant Hare Krishna.

Chant for six months, don't take shelter.

Or we say you should chant for six months and then take shelter of.

A guru and child for six months under shelter.

And then chant and then chant for six months under shelter.

I don't even take initiation.

And then you can take initiation. So for first initiation there's some Purushacharya things and Hainam.

Kagor.

So even if one is chanting before initiation, that is also powerful.

Chant all our life.

So we should chant all of our life.

And the name.

So the name and the named are non difference. Does that mean the ends are what.

On the transcend non or Lord stage. Translate in herbalist.

So one that transcends the Namabas stage and chants the holy name purely free of offense. Free of offense.

Even in the Nama vast straight on God's presence.

So even in the Namabas stage one gets blessings on the eternal holy crow.

I do love Namavas, but the pure.

Devotee guru can raise you above Namabas cover. So just like someone told the story about Haridas Takur.

And this person stunned a prostitute made a low law.

One envious person sent a prostitute to try to make him fall down.

God.

And cause him a bad name.

I didn't travel all night, however it'll satisfy you, but I will cleanse my arms.

But he chanted all night and he told the lady, I'll satisfy you but after I finish my rounds. And then he chanted all through the night and he's still chanting the lady out.

You're still chanting.

And the lady asks, you're still chanting?

This is today's rounds.

No, he said, this is today's rounds.

Oh, yesterday.

That was yesterday's. So he said. So he said to the processor, you wait. And then after I finish these rounds, he was chanting 300,000 names a day, every day.

That's 12 times more than we chant.

That's 12 times more than we chants. 12 times more than 16 realms. 12.

She started to chant with him.

So she started to chant with him. So she started chanting with him to show that if she's favorable, she might be able to convince him to fall down.

But by her chanting she became purified.

But by her chanting she became purified.

And then the third day she is hooked.

And then by the third day she was hooked.

Up.

From three days he turned a positive into a purgatory.

So Hari Dasakara was so powerful that in three days he could turn a prostitute into a pure devotee. Hare Krishna. How.

The holy man is more vulnerable in.

So I was thinking today that how chanting is more powerful than Mayapur. Renal did down.

All of Chaitonya. He brought this holy land from the spiritual world.

But Lord Caitanya, he brought this holy name from the spiritual world. Any question? When should a devotee start worshipping deity at home? When should a devotee start worshipping deities at home? When should a devotee start worshipping deities at home?

The origin deities. How to explain how all the rules?

I mean, the point is that when you worship deities, you have to be clean and follow the rules.

What deity is you worship?

But it depends what deities you worship. Radhakrishna rather in Radhakrishna, Radharani is very strict. They are very merciful. They are somewhere in between. Okay, Guru Maharaj is blessing all of you.
