20250309 Sixth Stream — Introduction to the Eightfold Daily Pastimes

Hari.

Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shiksha. Okay, Sorry Guru Maharaj, today we'll just have question and answers. So any questions please, please send it to Srivatsabra. Oh, you have one already. Oh, I also have a question from Alhadini Mataji. Question from Sarva Priya Balai Prabhu. I have a question. One regarding today's class which is on the 4th of March 2025. The question is what is the fastest way to cross the Anarta Nivriti level? How Guru's mercy can help in this regard. If you ask Guru Maharaj and let me know about what he has answered, it would be really great favor for me, your servant Sarvapriya Balait.

We utter our prayers and guiding Mantra to the Guru as the Gloria and Krishna.

So we offer our prayers in the Gayatri Mantra to the Guru. Before we offer our prayers to Goda.

And Krishna, we just think without the Maharisha Guru we can't do anything.

We should think that without the mercy of the Guru we cannot do anything. And by the mercy of the Guru we can get the mercy of Gora and Nithai. And by the mercy of Gora Nithai we can get the mercy of Radha and Krishna. So we heard that to get to do any service to Krishna we need the mercy of Radharani. And it all comes back to the Guru that we need the mercy of the Guru. Okay, the next question. Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj Dandavat Pranam at your lotus feet. I am Vinod Gopikesh Das from JPS Archive and I have a humble inquiry. Okay, this is based on the recent reading. How can I attain my eternal Manjari swaroop? How can I perfect my spiritual practice Sadhana to become Sadhana Siddha Gopi? Additionally, how can I render service to the Supreme Lord and what should be my mindset while engaging in that service? I sincerely request your kind guidance on these matters. Hare Krishna, your eternal servant Vinod Gopikesh Das JPS Archives.

I think our Dharga has mentioned some very esoteric things about setting his different Rasas.

So Bhakti Vinathakur has mentioned some different things about serving Krishna in different Rashas. But first we need the mercy of the Guru. By the mercy of the Guru we can get the mercy of Nita and go.

Why Hiday God's Rajya indicate love of.

Krishna by Nitai God's mercy when by their mercy we can get the mercy of Rmati Radharani and by her mercy we can get our swaroop. You can't jump up. You have to go step by step, Hare Krishna. Okay. This is a question from your spiritual daughter Haritha Madhavi Devidasi. Dear Gurudev, please accept my. Please accept my respectful obeisances. Okay. Please accept my respectful obeisances. How fast can we attain perfection or Siddhadeha by residing in Mayapur Dham or being in Vapu association of Guru compared to staying anywhere else outside? Please enlighten us, dear Guru Maharaj. Sorry, Gurudev. Your humble servant, Haritha Madhavi Devidasi.

What am I supposed to say?

What am I supposed to say?

How fast?

How fast?

Possible, of course, to realize our service quite quickly.

Of course, here it's possible to realize quickly our service.

But how much? How pure is your desire?

How much and how pure is your desire?

Say that we have a little desire for some material happiness, a little desire for some spiritual elevation.

Since we have little desire for material happiness and some desire for spiritual elevation.

That desire for material healthiness held us back.

So the desire for material happiness may what?

Hold us back?

Sorry, Guru Maharaj. Hold us back.

A thousand times benefited by everything we do.

Here we get a thousand times benefit for everything you do.

Mistakes are not considered that great.

Mistakes are not considered that great.

I mean in Vrindavan, mistakes multiplied by a thousand.

I mean in Vrindavan mistakes are multiplied by thousand.

Here they're not. All the lives are not.

But here they are not multiplied so much.

But still there's Nama the Lord, Seythrom the Lord.

Still if we have Namapra Seva Parad, that can hold us back. So.

Just staying in the Holy Dham.

So just staying in the Holy Dhaam.

That's a factor.

That's the factor.

How much, how pure is our desire?

That's the factor. But how much and how pure is our desire?

Those are things that have to be understood.

Those are also things that has to be sorry. Things that have to be understood.

Raman said, cry like a baby.

Prabhupada said, if we cry like a baby for Krishna, we can achieve Krishna very quickly. Our desires are divided, but our desires are divided. So we need the mercy of Lord Nittaigar to actually achieve love of Krishna. Okay.

Okay. Wow.

Okay, next question. Question from His Holiness Bhakti Prachar Parivrajak Swami Maharaj. Yeah, yeah. He's sitting here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How to please Guru and get his mercy? How to please the spiritual Master and get his mercy? Is it yours?

There's three levels of disciples.

There are three levels of disciples.

Uttamadhikari knows what the guru wants.

Knows what the guru wants.

Even if the Guru doesn't tell.

Even the Guru doesn't tell.

That's very rare.

But that's very rare. Then the Mati Madhikari, he is told.

By the Guru what he wants.

He is told by the Guru what he wants.

And he carries that out.

And he carries that out.

Carry on.

Very diligently.

Then there's the Khanesharya.

Then there is the Kanishta Dhikari.

He carries all the Guru's order some.

Or another he carries out the Guru's order somehow or another not very perfectly. So from that we can understand one way how to please the Guru.

Wants to please his Guru and.

And also the Guru wants to please his Guru and also Nitai Guru.

Later on.

So if the disciple is able to make them into devotees then the Guru is happy pleased. Any other question it? How to remove casualty in devotional service whilst residing in the Dham. Remove casualty?

Like being casual.

Casualty. I mean it's not the right word. Whilst being in the Dham not know how casualties. Yeah. I mean basically it's trying to say how to be more serious. It's a wrong term but it's all right. Sometime I could not be in in consciousness of that I'm residing whilst I'm residing in the dam. How to overcome my dear Gurudev and begging for your mercy. Madhavraja Sundar D so after one takes initiation that's called Bhajana Kriya.

Next stage is Anatta Nivriti and then.

The next stage is Anarta Nivriti.

So you have to get rid of all the Anattas and you have to.

Get rid of all the Anarthas and then you'll achieve the stage of Nishta fixed, fixed, steady devotion.

It's very important to be serious.

So it's very important to be serious. And.

And they are riddled all the Anarthas.

To get rid of all the Anarthas and other offenses to the Holy Name. So these Anarthas which are compared to weeds which are mentioned in the Chaitanya Charitamrita. What? I'm sorry Guru Mah, I didn't get that. Please forgive me. So one should pull out the weeds otherwise the water which is meant for devotional service would go on the weeds and they will grow. So certain wheats are Laap Puja, Pratishtadi name, fame, desire for adoration, etc.

Allah.

Prophet Nishitachar Kutinati Jivahingsha, Nishitachar Nishidachar Kutinati, Jiva Hingsha. All the human beings could be to all the human beings or even to animals.

Animals not worthy.

If someone thinks animals are not worthy, you may end up practicing Jiva Hingsa.

So those are the weeds and the other alderads. All these things have to be.

So those are the wheats. There also could be other apparatus. So these are the things that need to be taken out. Last question from Bhakti Prachar Maharaj. Oh no, no Gurmaj, it's not a question. Bhakti Prachar Maharaj wants to speak a bit on Swaroop Siddhi asking for Guru Maharaj's permission.

What shastra he wants to speak from?

What shastra he wants to speak from? From.

Two minutes.

No, he's going to like explain from the Shisha Ashtakam, not chant the entire thing.

So this concept of Swarup Siddhi and attending our eternal Saroop, lot of misconceptions are there among the devotees. It cannot be artificially imitated and mechanically attained. So there's a gradual process. Adh, Sraddha, Tata, Sadhusanga, Bhajana, Kriya, Anarthanibriti, Nishta, Ruchi, Asakti, Bhava and Prema. So Sadhana is up to Asakti, then Bhava, then Prema. So when someone attains the level of Bhava, then that time some glimpse of Siddhi is manifested. And when we attain the perfect stage of love of Godhead, that time our Sadupa will be revealed. And Guru Maharaj already explained how we can attend that. By pleasing Guru we get the mercy of Gora Nithai. And by pleasing Gauranga Mahaprabhu we can attend the mercy of and by the mercy of Srimati Radharani we can get the mercy of Krishna. And by the mercy of Srimati Radharani we get the Swarupa. But Sarupa, that concept of Sarupa and mercy of Radharani comes when we attain the level of Prema Bhakti, a Sadhaka cannot think of that. Sadhaka should focus on Anattani Vriti and come to the level of Nistha Ruchi and Asakti. So you cannot artificially try. Oh, I want to be like that. I want to be this. I want to be a Gopi, I want to be a Gopa, I want to be this. That. This is all artificial thing and we'll end up in spiritual suicide. And we'll Give up the process of devotional service and go somewhere else and get some other sareupa. So we should not be so much into that sarupa. Sarupa. We should focus on our sadhana bhakti. When you have unearthed us, we should have strong focus on sadhana and not committing any offenses and try to please Sadhguru and Vaishnava. Then we can slowly, slowly and gradually come to the higher level of sadhana bhakti. Then Bhava bhakti, then Prema bhakti. Thank you very much, Hare Krishna.

Because we were studying and different levels of sahana bhakti and how do the steps reign?

So because we are reading rla bhakti, Vinod Thakur's Chaitanya shikshamrita, he goes through different levels of sadhana bhakti. And then how we are going through different steps.

Then how? When we reach Bala, certain things are realized that our least.

So when we reach Baba, certain things are realized at least. Primarily.

All of those are known as roti.

Baba is also known as roti. And from there we go to Prema.

So he's taking us through all these steps.

And he's taking us through all these steps.

Oh, he may be on a very low level.

We may be on a very low level.

And he goes on teaching all the levels.

But he goes on teaching all the levels and learn. So all the levels.

I was told by our translator and.

I was told by our translator at.

The next level, Rama, he didn't. He. He wrote it in Sanskrit.

In the next level of Prema, he wrote it in Sanskrit, but he didn't translate it. Maybe it would be deep even for the ordinary people. For the ordinary people, sorry.

All these things you have to deal with harm and people on the earth.

So all that. So all these things he had to do because people on the earth, they were influenced by the Prakrita sahajyas.

And so he was teaching all these things how Nanjin.

And so he was. He's teaching how these things are mentioned in Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's shiksha. What.

I just had, why not stop by step?

So and these things are, as Mahra said, it can't be achieved mechanically. You have to go up step by step.

Encouraging that the Lord is to go up his step.

So he's encouraging all the devotees to go up the steps. So by the mercy of the guru, we get Nitaigor's mercy. And by their mercy we get Radharani's mercy. In that way we can gradually rise up To Prema.

Sadhana Lord, to you, that's the first thing.

Whether the devotees are doing their Sadhana bhakti or not, that's the first thing that.

Isn'T necessary to have praise or love.

So someone wrote me a letter saying that is it necessary to have faith for the Guru, love for the Guru.

So they will have these kinds of doubts.

So people have these kinds of doubts.

That's quite the day I just had.

So that's why today I just had question and answers. Okay, Guru Maharaj is blessing all of you. Also Guru Maharaj, devotees from Karnool, devotees from Bangalore and Karnul Koramangala, they are here. Please welcome them. Okay, thank you very much all of you for coming. Krishnir Matirastu.
