Jaya Pataka Swami tells ISKCON Chennai devotees that chanting Krishna's name is the path for Kali Yuga. He maps the stages of devotion from removing obstacles to reaching prema, warns against material distractions that choke practice, and urges following Lord Chaitanya's example of sincere, constant service.
Israel. But there is one good quality in Kali Yuga to chant the holy name of Krishna and go back to the spiritual world.
Krishna Namata.
There is no other way. Since Krishna and his holy name are no different. It's very powerful. So it's very powerful and sublime. So now I'm coming from Mayapur. Mayapur is created by Radarani each of the nine islands signifying one of the process of one of the nine process of devotional service. Personal washing the lotus feet, offering prayer, melo meadow. And so as we practice these different forms of Bhakti Yoga we advance so.
In the so other kind of particular.
Usually in the state of Bhajana Kriya. One state initiation. Then when then one get rid of the bad habits. Say that some of the weeds need to be pulled out. Kirk Zivar. Someone may desire. Someone may desire the Mangalarti sweets. If they do some politics against somebody and if they want position, that is so. We have asked Nanda Putra to bring this center forward. Especially Banuswami Maras and Sunitra Krishna.
Madam Banaswam.
But I want to see all of you advance in Krishna consciousness. Achieve love for Krishna. These wheats may get merged into so.
In the Kalaigan one day.
If we water our deposit, the weeds may grow rather than the devotional creeper. So we have to see that this doesn't happen. Are there steps for Prema? So when you get most of the Anarthas out then we achieve the service of Krishna. When? When we get rid of most most we get to the stage of N. Each state give different blessings in different stage stages. You can give different blessings.
Find.
We may bless someone that pray to Krishna. So if you bless someone that has to bless as faithful Krishna. If you bless someone, his faithful Krishna increases. And the next stage is called Ruchi. You have test for serving Krishna. And then comes the state of. And then the next state is called Rati or Baba. Now you are advanced, very advanced. You get great joy. Please. Now you are in this place, holy place of see the deity of Rangana. You feel bliss and ecstasy. There may be millions of paladins, millions of Brahmins. But it's very rare to find a devotee of Krishna. Normally it's very hard to achieve love for Krishna. Stage of Baba or Baba is the state before Prema. We want everyone to reach Prema. No one can understand someone that is in Prema. To reach this state you need to be very sincere. Lord Krishna would give Prema only if you are completely surrendered to him. Lord Krishna came as a devotee, as a Lord Chaitanya and bided with the mood of brother Rani to give love to everyone. We want everyone to achieve the Krishna Prema. We want everyone to follow Chaitani Mahaprabhu. He stayed here in Sri Random for four months. In the other side of the temple there is the Ashram where Lord Chaitania.
Stayed in the Ashram.
By Krishna's mercy we may get that place. I want you to be very serious on your devotional service. When we do service we need to watch out for the weeds. In the material world there is happiness and distress heart in the spiritual practice when we do service there is only peace in the. How many of you want to do devotional service? I'm very inspired by hearing you chanting, father. So one devotee asked Prabhupada, why did you take it?
