20250312 Sixth Stream — Introduction to the Eightfold Daily Pastimes

A March 2025 YouTube-recorded devotional discourse led by Jaya Pataka Swami with multiple speakers, explaining Krishna's eightfold daily pastimes (Ashtakala Leela) and distinguishing Nitya (eternal) and Nainatika/Nainitika (occasional) pastimes. The central theological theme: Krishna's killing of demons in Vrindavan symbolically removes specific anarthas (undesirable qualities) — e.g., hypocrisy, pride, lust, mercilessness, sectarian hatred — and purifies souls (illustrated by Putana's deliverance). The latter part contains community announcements: a pilgrimage/safari in India (mid-April, post-Orapurnima), book-distribution quotas (10,000 large and 100,000 small books monthly), health/prayer requests, and recognition of regular distributors.
Questions this video answers
10,000 big books and 100,000 small books per month.
It's.
Okay. Has kept hidden from me. Yeah. Until the transcendental name, form, qualities and pastimes does not rise in the heart, one is not qualified to hear these pastimes. Unqualified individuals who have read these pastimes will meditate upon on them materially imagining mundane male female union. And thus they will be great. Readers must be cautious like Narada. Develop a transcendental concept of Sringara Samskara reformation before entering these pastimes. Otherwise material false argument will cast their hearts fall down into darkness.
Saying that these particular pastimes.
So Bhaktiyana Thakur is saying that these particular pastimes are not for people those who have not reached the Raga Nuga stage. So we hope that all of you, many of you, will reach that Raga Marga. If you haven't got that raga marga.
Then.
It would cast your heart down into darkness. We'll stop reading. Only those with faith are qualified for the qualified ones. This narration of the pastime is for daily reading and contemplation. It eradicates all sins and provides transcendental emotions. Although this pastime certainly is a human pastime Narayanila, it appears similar to worldly ordinary dealings. It is profoundly extraordinary and transcendental related to the omnipotent and all auspicious person Sri Krishna. The Goswamis have written a concise essence of these pastimes and since it's meant for daily remembrance, it is quoted in the next page. Sri Govinda Lilamhta and many other Rasa Granthas are composed based on this pastimes. The qualified readers will experience Bhajana Nanda through reading them. The sublime Rasa analyzed in the seventh shower will be a well shower should be well understood and the continuous daily Pratyahika practitioner on the rag Marg should meditate on the beauty of the pastimes and contemplate their own service. This is the Anitya Bhajan. The Lord has told us to carefully analyze this verse from Ras Panchatyaya. The word Shraddha Faith here means faith in the transcendental.
Much.
Okay. Krishna's Leela can be divided into two types Nitya eternal and Nika occasional. In Balok, the eternal pastimes Nitya Leela and the Ashtakala Leela Eightfold daily pastimes are ever present in the earthly form Bhavna Rupa. The Ashtakala Leela is accompanied by Nainutika Leela occasional pastimes going away from Braj and coming back to Braj and Slaying of the demons are examples of naivetica Leela these occasional pastimes are not be forsaken by the Sadhakas down in the material world these occasional pastimes are conspicuously absent in Goloka. Only in the material realm these pastimes are actually manifest for sadhakas the Nainatika leelas are perceived Nanatika leelas are occasional Leelas are perceived as becoming unfavourable to the Nithya leelas. The Sadhaka should hope for the destruction of their own unarthas unwanted desire through these pastimes.
I was asked.
I was asked how to get rid.
Of amorphous How Ankatha kills the demon.
Krishna kills the demons.
How that helps us.
So Hearing that helps us to get rid of the anarchas. The naivetical leelas are Putana vav Killing Putana Putana is kaput deceptive guru of material enjoyment and liberation Mukti the hypocritical sadhus who are fond of material enjoyment and liberation are also the Pripana Tattva. By showing mercy to the pure devotee baby Krishna kills Putana to protect his newly rising Bhava Newly risen rising Baba Killing people Now you can get rich. Awesome. Get rid of some of the announcers Deceiving, deceptive the gurus who want mukti and liberation from the if you accept guru who wants Mukti or who wants liberation from the suffering of the material world he doesn't want to serve Krishna he wants to kill Krishna. The hypocritical sadhus who are fond of material enjoyment and liberation. So Krishna shows mercy to the pure devotees and the baby Krishna kills the putana. So in this way these anarkas are driven away. Am I audible? More louder Shakta Banjana breaking the cart Old and modern bad influences Letaji entice indus burden bearing Baby Krishna breaks the cup and eliminate these amorphous obstacles. Oh, I think because of the mask. Yes, Lagrunaj the destructions of destruction of false pride in scholarship, fallacious arguments, dry logic and association with people with those people who are fond of this. All rationalistic atheistic views are contained in this. Because of the Sadhaka's humility Baby Krishna absorbed in compassion removes the thorns in Bhajan by killing by Krishna killing Tenavata these are the anattas which would get removed made after material opulence. Sri Mother results in aristocratic force Abhijayatiya Dosha which in turn beat pride Abhimanav this pride leads to violence Buddha himself illicit sex 3 Sangha addiction to wine, lusting to satisfy the tongue Jiva Lampatya and mercilessness Nirdhavata due to cruelty to animals and shamelessness Nirlajati by his mercy Krishna removes mist force by breaking the Yamla Arjuna trees.
So you remember what anarchists had removed by hearing that he's not breaking the.
Remember what Arjuna what Anatta Switki removed by hearing Krishna breaking the trees who remembers that things related to Yamla Arjuna Bunga it's material opulence Srinaga aristocratic force Abhijayatiya Dosha pride, abhimanal violence, illicit sex Sri Sangha addiction to wine Asaba Sheba lusting to satisfy the tongue Jiva Lampatya Mercilessness Mercilessness okay. And shamelessness how to turn so all of those things are removed when you hear about Krishna breaking the twin Arjuna trees Vatsasura Warp killing Vatsasura Vatsasura is the name of the Anarta Undesirable activity of evil actions and subjugation to others that is due to the deed of childish intelligence. By his mercy Krishna removes these faults.
Carrying the imbalance.
So if you want to know how to get remove get rid of different anarchists. So these pastimes of Krishna killing the demons share these pastimes.
Krishna killing the demons.
Is the false dealings due to hypocrisy, deceitfulness and cunningness without eliminating him pure Ka Bhakti doesn't happen. So we don't want hypocrisy, deceitfulness and cunningness Want to eliminate them and have pure Ka consciousness Agasura birth killing Agasura removal of sinful Agha mentality in the form of violence and envy induced hostility towards others. This is an offense to the Holy Name. The aggressive killing gets rid of the offenses to the Holy Name Brahma Vinohan the wilderness of Brahma skepticism while practicing Karma, creative activities and Gyana knowledge and the disrespecting sweetness due to attachment to material opulence.
So when we hear last time.
If.
You hear the pastime of Brahman's bewilderment we get freed from this Amaitas Karma in Gyana Denukha Bhat killing Denuka Blindness to truth due to gross intelligence lack of natural knowledge and ignorance Opposing knowledge to one's self. So look again. Blindness to truth, lack of a very fun of natural knowledge and ignorance Lack of natural knowledge and having ignorance all these.
Demons are doing.
So the way Krishna killing the demons is a way to remove Getting Krishna to remove all the Anattas, the Ragini Nash. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Kaliya Brangan subdue Kalia. Removal of pride. I don't know how to pronounce that. Malevolence, harmfulness to others, cruelty and lack of compassion for living beings that are mentioned by La Chaitanya. He mentions about Jiva Hingsha. Okay. Estimation the forest fire, sectarianism, hatred of Sampradaya, hatred towards other deities, wars and all such clashes are like a forest fire. It is interesting how.
Prisoners all over.
Fire Krishna has followed the fire. This is like the disturbance that you get from forest fires, walls, hatred of Sampradaya. I mean, I guess some people doesn't hate this Ampradaya. They hate the Sampraya. That would be an anathema. So those kind of Anarthas Krishna swallowed.
Up.
Killing Palambasur indicates the removal of debauchery towards women, Prophet worship and prestige. So this would be removed by Balaram Bhava, Nala Tan, drinking the forest fire, disturbances to religion and religious by atheism etc. Rejecting this, this is another form of taking out the fire. So all the demons that Krishna kills in Vrindavan, they are like a little intermediate pastimes. And they help one to get rid of the Anarthas. He was here. Maharaj Maharaj. Oh, he's on a call right now. Shila Guru Maharaj.

Yeah, yeah.
Gurumas is requesting Maharaj to speak 10 minutes. So Maharaj will be addressing all of you. Just stay tuned for.
So we all have so much like.
You know, privilege that Gurumas is asking, do you all want to hear? I don't hear much. I hope you all are not feeling hungry.
Hare Krishna. So Guru Maharaj told me to speak. I know you are already planning to leave. Sorry for keeping you because Guru Maharaj wants you to hear from me. So thank you for tolerating for 10 more minutes. And I heard that Guru Mahaj was talking about Putana today. So Putana example is very, very important example for us to be inspired. Because generally when a demon is killed by the Lord, generally they get Sajid Jammukti merging into the Brahmanapaljans. And some exceptional cases they go to Vaikuntha. But here Putana went to Goloka Vrindavan supreme destination she got. How is that possible? So it is explained by the Acharyas when Putana came to kill Krishna. By seeing Putana, Krishna was remembering Mother Dashodha because she came as a mother. Although intention was to kill Krishna, but she came to feed breast milk like the mother feeds a child. So Krishna felt that Putana is in the form of Mother Jashoda coming to serve him. So deliverance of Putana is not the glorification of Putana, it is a glorification of Mother Jashoda. And you may think oh, Putana became mother. Then how is the point to become servant of Krishna? Better to be a demon and being killed by Krishna and I will become a Mother. Although she got the position of a mother, she was not allowed to serve Krishna directly. Putana can only see other mothers. And Mother Jashoda is serving Krishna. But Putana is not allowed to serve Krishna directly. See, if anybody wants to serve Krishna, then that devotee has to be a servant of Mother Jashoda and all the mothers of Braj. So unless we become a devotee, unless we practice Suddha Bhakti, we are not allowed to serve Ka. So that is the lesson to be learned. And another lesson is that whoever is connected with the Lord, that person will be purified. That is the power of Ka Consciousness. We should not think only devotees are Krishna conscious. Demons are also Ka conscious. This kind of demons. And Narad Muni explains in 7th Canto, in some situation, Ka consciousness of the demons is more intense than the Ka consciousness of devotees. Because out of fear, Kamasa was very, very Ka conscious. So therefore intensity of Ka consciousness is very, very important. But as a devotee, we should be Krishna conscious in a favorable mood. That is a symptom of Bhakti. But Ka consciousness can be for both demons and devotees. So when Putana got connected with the Supreme Lord, Putana became purified. Soul became purified. That's why she got the spiritual form in the spiritual world. And not only that, her material body also was purified. When the body of Putana was burnt in Vrindavan, fragrance was was emanating from her body. Generally when a dead body is burned, generally bad smell comes out. But Putana's body was emanating fragments all over Vrindavan.
Why, by the touch of Ka, her.
Body also became purified. This is the power of being connected with the Supreme Lord. That's why they said anybody, whether he is a pure devotee, whether he is a Sadhaka or whether someone is full of material desire. That's why recommendation is, whoever we may be, we should get connected with the Supreme Lord. Because Supreme Lord is the source of all purification. So Putana is very, very inspiring example for us. And that was also very, very inspiring to Sukhadeva Goswam. When Sukhodem Goswami was in the forest, he was Atma Ram. No material attachment, he was completely liberated. But when he heard this verse pronounced by the student of Basudev, he became attracted to Ka Consciousness. And he came back to his house and heard Vulsivad Bhagavatam from his father Dasupot. So this verse explains the quality of Krishna, the mercy of Krishna. Krishna is extremely merciful, even to the demons. So Therefore who should be the Master Krishna should be the Master. So Krishna is extremely merciful but more merciful than Krishna is Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the most merciful. Why Ka kills the demons But Mahprabhu does not kill the demons he kills the demoniac nature. Krishna used weapons Krishna also killed demons in Vrindavan But Nitananda Prabhu reminded Chaitanya Mahaprabhu while he was planning to kill Jagay and Madhai Nitana Bhuvu reminded Chaitanya Mahapra this is not the age of killing demons this is the age of killing demoniac nature and Sudarshan has no role to play in Kalijuga Suggestion For Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the Hare Krishna Mahamantra Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna so in that way Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is supremely merciful More merciful than Krishna also you should not compare but at the same time we should know the position of Shaitan Mahapur the most Merciful why he is most merciful? Because he is Krishna but having the heart of Sima Ti Radharani so Shrimati Radharani is more merciful than Krishna that's why Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is also more merciful than Krishna thank you very much Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Hare.
Let us thank.
