Today I'm going to read about the appearance of Lord Sam Nah witch everywhere that we can tolerate more things in this life in progress in the next. Brahma is the direct recipient of a knowledge and the personality of God. Anyone discharged the duties of the sick succession is sure to maintain this life and salvation in the next. And it says as follows. This mind succession from Brahma is spiritual, whereas the genealogical succession is material. But both around the progressive march toward the same go Christian consciousness. So there you have it folks, in the synthesis session going all the way back to mission. We are very fortunate that the Prabhupada has connected us with succession and has laid to him teachers of the agility reservoir. Simple activities stories, you know. Srila Prabhupada was just Christian as he got the Rivera. As everybody heard the news that Srila Prabhupada has been recognized by the entire RA community as well as everybody else in Kumabala as the official crew, the Tagat crew experience of the universe. And we are so very, very fortunate to have a service dance in this first that I found myself she qualified was a poster in Portland, Oregon, 1974. She qualified to come a few years earlier to Oregon. And we programmed initiates and devotees like 38 room and the notice they advertised Sri La Papa as coming to Oregon with posters that they glued the telephone poles and they used a lot of glue. So these posters were still there two years later. You can see them. They were put on it so that they wouldn't come off. So I was walking down the street and I looked before the air and I saw what a powerful little person. And then by the influence of George Harrison on the Beatles, I became interested in Krishna consciousness until I found the devotee who gave me a real heart and invited me to the higher Christian temple in Portland, Oregon. 2805 Southeast Mock Street. I've been raised as a Christian and I had been to church that morning. I was going to church every Sunday and there was a pastor that was working with the young people. I was 16 years old at the time. The pastor said what kind of musical instrument do you think that God plays? So everybody was guessing the big things, you know, and big things. Johnny's grandma, maybe a harp because they played harps in came on here. And I immediately thought God plays a flute and then there's few more. Is that three? Three people. So I follow instructions on the little car. I never heard that word before. Sublime. I looked it up in the dictionary. It said sublime means that which is in order, that which is peaceful and that which is happy. So I made it to the temple and Matthati told me where to put my shoes. I know that there was a stack of shoes. I've got a bookshelf all the way. I never see 20 years she was outside of the shoe store. I came up the stairs and there was a girl named A.D. he was painting a life size picture of Ravana, Krishna Krishna big picture. He'd been naming it for months. He said this is God. So I looked up there was early on Krishna and I said I always knew that God break glue. So then the program started the imagining group yes we heard about how body changes but person stands the same this is me. Now you look in the mirror right now and you say this is me. And you'll have another body later that look different. Everything, all the cells will change, they'll look different but you'll still say this is me. So that was a good explanation of how our body changes the person stays the same. My introduction to and then we had our team and the earth on and I started standing and dancing a little bit and there was devotee offering our tv he did the peacock band many banner or the Then he put the PE why And then we went on to the shot. I been a vegetarian for a while and I never had anything like this area. There's no oil and the preparations is kept on coming out with 17 I may eat like this for the rest of my life. And then they brought me into the book term sold me stack of books. So I mentioned the problem by open it up Krishna Pansha and the death of the universe so first I opened up the Bhagavad Gita and tried to read it. It said and evidently since I couldn't see there was no vowel for the word so then I find the Christian book and had a practice by George Harrison that was easy to understand. And then they had these pictures of a little blue boy killing monsters. So that was interesting. Then I tried to listen to this goddess and plate a complete God. That's God. So then I got per my parents to my move into the temple. So I came and spent the night in the temple and started going morning programs every day. And I had to go to high school during the daytime and come back to the temple at night. So one day I was sleeping in a basement in the temple and I saw a fact that God had stepped back godless and I would time it was an advertising I really wanted to do that My grand Florida angel Florida as an example and Rishi John Salami and everybody here bus and I began a life of distribution 10 in the morning until 6 or 7 o' clock at night we came summers we worked very hard and sent a lot of money to build my corps and festivals jobs funding and was distribution and John came on board and he was trying to he was like a bar and one day it was announced that we were going to see and we drove all night on the dust we got to the temple in the morning just in time for mother Larsing so we cleaned up and right in time for the reading the beach and the prabhupada came back and I got a seizure prabhupada for the first time and he came into the front door of the advantage down he lit up the whole place like the sun sun log is somehow rolled inside the sun's not very big the sun had just come to earth and roll in the front door and then as he going live the first thing I noticed is how fast he was close to 80 years old we all know that when we get old we get a bit slow that when we get real old we get real slow together But Brahma has some kind of dedication he had a and he was really luminant in his service and all the young dance points they couldn't keep up with him. You know say Jesus walked in the water with crowbar wherever he went he was just not exactly he didn't leave footprints in snow for instance you probably don't have a lot of snow here have you ever been in snow and thought about the rock on a sill you didn't leave the he marked on the grass same thing no footprints so she qualified that you know that amazing mystic power and then go into Paris again So I paid my base decision look there and suddenly should have brought a speedload of sleep just right there in front of me without hesitation I just grabbed him he had on these maroon socks and I held on problems for his feet for until he started getting nutty and then she did prabhupada he sat down with the day before Prabhupada had given a similar class when he talked about where she was spreading all over the world every town and village this is February 197075 when she PR he went into SA he started he couldn't talk anymore and fear is pork from his eyes the devotees that were close to him actually got wet for 212 plus years then Catholic go strong introducing one of us to a so we all lined up around an hour party was about 25:30 minutes at that time we lined up and we gave we all had a flower in this P I put the flower and brought us yes this is bar Michael joined our park at a young age 16 so we sat down and asked your father we thank this church for sure you close so I put that as right lines right follow instructions and keep on distributing his books he said that Saint Ramachara would save himself a lot of trouble he didn't really say that we had to save Ramadari he said that you have a really leader with the law just follow him and I'll be pleased so later on he gave an essay a special program where we had to learn to work with the song using the technology of the time we ended with so far we always so the roadie playing with the younger good man There's a Sunday peace lecture and I asked you questions I have and then the next day thanks to me Sam and the part of Bakugan Institute library bar and happy now gratify this morning call them on them down there to celebrate the Pineapple festival so this is quite a boost to the route downright party we went back down and expanded for the next six months the buses went from three buses to five buses from 30 men to a higher supporting and so by July 1975 was running this like an army of sand con he had a map of the country there was 20 vans, 5 buses 140 men distributed books inside airports his chalking halls fairs and at the same time putting on the festivals at universities fishing John were one of the best leaders they all could sing brought so many people received his hearing God and then the longest bars go out back God had magazines and convinced people to come and join the bus he said just try you do that somebody's not Christian consciousness Then they an so then we got the Chicago she was qualified listed the whole party everybody that wasn't initiated so we went to call initiated 80 commentaries looked down at me and said your name is Misha Bhagavad he installed four sets of boring diabetes while down there and now Chabad put Gordon Kai and so I can get more buses and Chihuahua had a press conference and Chihuahua said enemy consciousness One thing he said that really caught the attention of reporters was that women have less brain substance than men we told about professor so a lot of these hearing this you may be thinking well I don't know doesn't make any sense to me I'm a genius. He always kept on stressing that intelligence is just a material thing Somebody may have more or less but it's not a qualification for going back around a year later Prabhupada and then the newspaper articles were all just about that subject. So the year ladies Prabhat was in New York because we went out to wrote another army after Chicago we had a huge Christmas hair and then but actually it's a simple the one should not pay me this and the fellows has anything to do with going back to God and everybody is qualified and I was thinking about how to understand that intelligence is something that can have amora because women can also do it off anything Matthews by following instructions. But women more powerful than any other house of Saint Martial it starts off with goddesses of fortune and the queens of work. She has all the women in the world. When women say quickly in my babies they become Nisi they become and men have Men start off as first Lord Lord and Ryan and Lord and Ryan. He's Lord and Ryan Marvin Ron is really quite smart very intelligent person. He's got more heads he creates the whole universe and his and very navy are Parvati. She's the power that controls the whole hero universe. When I work in Dallas and in Dallas, Texas I take my car to a place that fixes it and this auto shop has about 10 men that are really intelligent and they know how to get scar and they're all run by one woman, the manager, you know, maybe you're nuts the auto shop she doesn't have to know how to fix cars she knows how to how to manage the natural tendency to be a controller of these men that fixed cars. So Srirampa went on in New York saying how women are actually very qualified as as you see with the gees Krishna we saw last night with the Shama dance. Does Krishna have glossy dance with a team of rocket scientists or would you rather be with God? The Gobis have they're the highest devopis in Krishna and they wander through the forest and they say where is Krishna? And they talk to the plants, they talk to the trees. Have you seen Krishna? So a scientist and they say well that's not very asylum talk to talking to plants plants can't reply so the love for the go the love the Krishna has for the go the love the goalies have for Krishna that's the highest love. When Krishna san calvary wife out to get Brahmins were very intelligent and they ascendant scriptures but they couldn't figure out that they should do something. But the wives. The wives were. They had love for Krishna and they pleased Krishna by giving children Krishna devotees so as I said we mentioned how trip to India when we get to office said they were all going to my port and this is March 1976 so we loaded up on an airplane in New York and took over the whole airplane that was pretty instantaneous about 747 when you felt so even the pilots and the spiritists were also to those areas throughout the so we have the full program on the airplane with RT V maps going down the aisles everybody was dancing the plane was bouncing immediately sent all this brought it out to the main gate everybody else was going on par and they had a you know the cameras on and they were in a holiday booth now but for us we can do Pro Distribution 6 days a week for 2 years we apply for it's time for more polish and we had a Saturday so then and small Kishima's song got sent to China that was a wonderful moment A lot of times around where devotees like myself had given up our temples to be on the bus so the temple president stayed like that sail back again today so what are we going to do here Just go to China yes no I can't $40,000 a month to build this temple including this building I'm wearing right now what if said no he must go and the morning walking in said Prabhupada I followed him on I wasn't really supposed to be on the morning walk but I put the shutter over my head and kind of squeezed in there so we got on the roof of the notice the powerpointer was so happy and he had his pain and his feet bag and he turned around and he was walking backwards facing the TBC and he held his arms out he said you all be happy to know as you know have Ms. And now we have thousands of and then I went on another morning walkers we stopped and he liked to post about his post university professors and then we went to every single day and morning blocks and yes mercy association and we got back in New York small preparing to go to China maybe it was decided there wasn't right time time and then he became personal servant right hand manager body and to RA he David Daran that I got to go to this Earl was there and her father and she was holding a baby girl I think she's at school teaching senior by and said told her father this is this is real love she she doesn't want anything back she just loves recognition in return and her father said well I can't really relate to loving God but I I like to let serving enemies. And Prabhupada said, if you want to serve humanity, first you have to love God. If you love God, then you can love everybody else. Use the example of a pond. You have a pond of water. You can put rocks in the middle and they expand evenly. But if there's different interests and by loving God again it comes to lotus feet of God. Now like always said lotus feet of God. He always says lotus feet Christian. At this case he's talking to a man who is a Christian and he explained it because those needed God. Then the next day was robbing after the festival our president Donald Trump around the arm. Parts of service at any one Sunday when he's talking to the honor of that are gone in his favor. So that's the carts are being built and there's. They use this hydraulic flag. The night 10 o' clock at night before went up and immediately just snapped in half and fell over. Johnny under looked up there and he said right before it snapped he said it's kind of bus. As soon as he said the word bus, boom. And the whole thing came down and we were just speechless. Everybody just stood there for about two minutes. They had assignments and then Giant said well, let's get to work. And he put together a system, an annual system like the UC cabinet quarry where you put piece of wood on top of one another and put in another stick of wood to keep one. Somehow were ready to go. And they came down fifth Avenue. Prabhupada was geared up and he got on Sutra park and it was a great victory parade. This was 1916, 1976. And in 1966, 10 years before that, we see pictures of Sri La Park. He's all belonging to New York. No, no temples. Never Lois Now 10 years later, she apologized for the evolution of the spiritual master. The undergrad is coming down 5th Africa the most important city in the world. The most important street in New York. And Shiva must get the three parts and Black Eyed and 2,000 devotees. And it was such a great honor where the first are not ones. Park is pretty famous at the first time that they had the first firehouse because that's where the picture was taken. The movie that crawled on Champion under the tree house Square park balcony. The first paragon outside of the temple in New York in 1966 was in Washington Square Park. And now Carl park spare part after like 10 years of success spreading artist throughout the world and gave a lecture. He usually gave a lecture in the sense that he just told the story of Lord sh. You know King and the carver Italian reason wanted to be. He like came in Iowa. He got his hand carved. The door opened. And then he stopped hearing the goal of philosophy. And then there was a Christian extremist that started that interrupted Prabhupada. And he had a sign that said turn and burn. And he was waiting the Bible. And he started yelling at Prabhupada. You have to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Stopped for a moment halfway the road that I saw. It started kind of like a train started going really fast. And man was standing on the. The wall of the fountain with flying through the air. Was really entertained by this incident. He said did you see how that. How he knocked the man into the water? Later on the prophet. And that was the last time that he was in the United States of America. So we very much appreciate the opportunity. The province association was three years 74, 75, 76. And she probably he left his mark in America and he ended it there. Washington Square Park. His last public appearance. Speak for all of us this spiritual safari group. After your history and thankful for all of your wonderful.
