Nama.

Sa.

Saitana Prabhon.

Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.

Hare Krishna.

Dear devotees, today we will continue with.

The reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita and the Bhakti Vinod Thakur.

It's the sixth stream, right?

Yeah.

This is the sixth stream, Guru Maharaj. Sixth shower as well.

Yeah, yeah. We are in the middle of the chapter. This description of Prema Bhakti Analysis of Prema Bhakti Unfavorable principles to Braja bhajan from the 13th verse to the end of the 8th verse of Sri Krishna Samhita, 18 obstacles to Braja Bhajan have been mentioned. By adding the pastimes of breaking the twin Arjuna trees and the false pride of the sacrificial Brahmanas, the total becomes 20 obstacles. All these are adverse principles to Brajabajan. A Sadhaka of Naam Bhajan should first pray to Lord Hari incessantly through the invocation of Hari day and night for the strength to remove these obstacles. If they can do so, the devotee's heart will be purified by sincerely crying out to hurry with humility to remove the disturbances caused in the kingdom of the mind by the demons Krishna has killed. She hurry removes all those unearthed us.

So.

We have to incessantly pray to Krishna to remove the Anarthas.

So we have to incessantly pray to Krishna to remove the Anarthas. Oh Hari, please help me.

If you really hardly get out of this mess, then you have to pray and suddenly Lord Hari, if you really.

Wanting to get out of this mess, then you have to incessantly to pray to Lord Hari.

Here.

So here the 20 obstacles, you can find them being mentioned by the mercy of Balade Balaram these obstacles are removed. All those Anarthas, the demons killed by Sri Baladev should be removed by the Sadhaka through their own efforts. This is the secret of Braja Bhajan. The Bhat Samskara in the form of Bharavah, carrying the burden of external rituals. Denukasura, lust for women, greed, desire and worship, and desire for worship and fame are the Anartas by the name Pralambha which should be removed by one's care by the mercy of Krishna. The lack of knowledge.

Thank you, I have one.

The lack of knowledge and ignorance in relation to one's own nature. Sva Surupa, the nature of the holy name Namasurupa, an object of worship upasyasurupa, I.e. denukasura. The Sadhaka should remove this with great care. Lust for Company of women for men, greed for wealth, excuse me. Efforts for worldly enjoyment, increasing pride in one's own respect and so on. Obtaining one's own worship and gaining reputation. All these are the principles of Pralamba. Knowing this as great obstacles to the chanting of the Holy Name should remove them by one sincere endeavor. When humility becomes strong, there is Krishna's mercy. Then by the manifestation of Baladeva's mood, these obstacles are instantly destroyed. When this happens, gradually the devotee progress in the practice of devotion. This process is by nature very confidential in pure character and is necessary to learn from a bona fide spiritual master. So how these obstacles can be removed by Baladev is mentioned here. So Pralambasura was delivered by Baladev.

So the demon that is not all around kill representative.

So these demons that Krishna and Balaram killed, they represent different anarthas. So if you remember the killing of the demons and be careful then you can do pure chanting of the Holy Name. We have completed the chapter.

We have completed the chapter.

Can do something?

I don't know. Do this.

Probably should have checked this anyway. What's the next chapter? Do we have? We can do some question answers if you are okay with it. Okay.

You can send the questions to Srivatsa.

Prabhu or Hadini Radha Mataji, I have a question. There's a question from a devotee, Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj. This is not related to the topic but it's quite important to answer this Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj, please accept my respectful obeisances. I have a doubt regarding the role of Rla Prabhupada and other advanced Vaishnava in delivering Krishna to devotees. While we acknowledge Srila Prabhupada as the preeminent Siksha guru, I have often heard that only he can deliver Krishna to others. However, shastras state that any pure devotee can deliver Krishna if they are sincere and spiritually at once. My question is what is the role of. What is the role of other advanced Vaiavas like Diksha Gurus who are following Srila Prabhupada's instructions and are spiritually at once. Can they also deliver Ka to others? Or is this role exclusive to Srila Prabhupada? Please clarify this doubt for me, Guru Maharaj.

It was saying here by the manifestation of Lord Baladev's mood, these offenses are instantly destroyed.

By the manifestation of Baladev Prabhu, not mood.

Sorry.

And.

Yes.

This island.

So Srila Prabhupada as the founder Acharya, he has decided for us, what is the best way to perform devotional service? The others cannot do the same thing. The others, they may be able to deliver Krishna to you. If you don't offend Srila Prabhupada or anyone. By offending, we get put backward. That's the Anartha that we want to destroy.

This is also another important question. Dear Guru Maharaj, please accept my respectful obeisances. Onto the speck of the dust of your lotus sweet, all glories accepted. All glories to you. All glories to your divine grace. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Both Siksha gurus and Diksha gurus are considered as spiritual masters in our Sampradaya. But Siksha gurus are not as much as responsible as Diksha gurus. To take a conditioned soul back to Godhead. At the same time, everyone doesn't have an opportunity to take Siksha directly from Diksha Guru. In such case, what is the true meaning of practicing devotional service under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master? Your humble servant, Tulasinath Krishna Das. Tulasinath Krishna Das.

Krishnair Matirastu again today. You have a wonderful quote for Srila Prabhupada Book Distribution. There is a wonderful message. Please hear this. Nectarian Pastimes of Srila Prabhupada Book Distribution this is the email written to Guru Maharaj by his Siksha disciple Vrindavan Leela Dasi, Los Angeles, USA about a Sanketan Leela that she received from Guru Shakti Dasi, England. My dear Siksha Guru Maharaj, please accept my obeisances. All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada. Here is a Nectarian Sanketan Leela for your pleasure. Always missing your wonderful Darshanas. Please bless me to always be under your shelter and prayers. With love your servant Brindavan Leela Dasi Los Angeles, USA Sangeetan Leela From Guru Shakti Dasi, England I stopped Carl on the street and handed him a Bhagavad Gita. I explained that it is a book of ancient wisdom that provides a comprehensive understanding of life's true meaning and purpose. Karl replied by saying that he did not want to read any book about the purpose of life other than a book written by Prabhupada. His pronunciation was not wholly accurate, yet I immediately understood his reference and I was quite simply stunned. I turned the Bhagavad Gita over and showed him the picture of Srila Prabhupada. His eyes lit up and his expression said it all. He was astonished. He excitedly told me that he had been released from prison four and a half weeks ago. Whilst he was in prison, he read Chant and Be Happy and he also began chanting the Hare Krishna Mah Mantra. He said that the first time he chanted the mantra he felt a strong sensation on the inside of his stomach, a surreal feeling which was inexplicable. He later realized that it had completely cleared away a drug addiction he had battled with. Now he knew that he was never going to revert to drugs again. He chanted for several months in prison and recommended to many of his fellow inmates that they read book about chanting because the Mahamantra gave him an indescribable feeling he had never experienced. He even called his mother from prison and told her he was Krishna conscious, although he did not quite understand the meaning. This made me laugh. He admitted he had stopped chanting in the last three months as the weight of his problems had gotten the better of him and especially now that he has to restart his life which is a mess. I told him the importance of staying fixed in faith and emphasized that the Bhagavad Gita will teach him to be a warrior, not a warrior. It will release him from the prison of his mind. Along with the Gita, I gave him a copy of Veda and a new personal copy of Chant and Be Happy. I explained that Srila Prabhupada's books will will mould his character into one of excellence and consequently the weight of his problems will seem minor and insignificant. I confirmed that our character determines how High God elevates us and that he shows special favor to those who chant his holy names. I feel so overjoyed by these encounters which illustrate the potency of Srila Prabhupada's books. They are life transforming and leave an everlasting impression of Guru Shakti Dasti. So this Guru Maharaj wants every one of you to hear. So I have announced the mail which is written to Guru Maharaj.
