It.

This is a very famous Lord Krishna temple in South India. The temple name is called.

Still. Yeah.

Here Lord Krishna is giving darshan to two devotees in Gopry yoga. Lord Krishna was performing his pragatalila earthly pastimes. That time there were two Rishis. Their name is called. During this Gopal. These two Rishis doing medical meditation. They were performing severe austerities and severe yoga practices. That time Lord Krishna was performing his veena. These yogis did not see Lord Krishna at any time during the lo pray. After that Karita started Lord Krishna, you know he finished his prakat Leela and then he entered the pratti Leela. He went to goal of the back home.

B.

That time these two Rishis came to know that Lord Krishna finished all his passions. He returned back home to Back. Back home back to Lord. So These two Rishis heard Krishna Katha from Nami Sharanya Rishis. And after getting Krishnakana, these two Rishis they were mourning. They were feeling so sorry. Oh what a fool we are. When Krishna was present on this earthly planet we missed the chance to see the wonderful beautiful form of Lord Krishna. We did not take part in any Leela. So what is the use of our yoga? What is the use of our tapas? So all guest. So in this way they cried and they started worship of Lord Krishna Nishar. So again these two Rishis they were now doing Bhajan in Nisharanya. And because of the severe vence and true devotion to Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna in every voice he is ordering the stove Rishis. Oh my dear Gopulaya, I will show my all the Vedas to you. Once again replay will be done. But not here. You have to go to South India and there is a river. It is called Haridra River. On the banks of Haridra river. You go and do my Namashankirta. In this way at appropriate time I will show my Leelas to you. Till that go to South India, go to Har and perform your as.

Especially.

Naamas and k you have to do that. So in this way Gopila and go Rishis came down from to this place. I think many of you might have noticed while crossing the road a big.

T was.

That is called. So these two Rishis, they were doing.

Bhajans.

And they were crying. So wonderful extreme they. So in this way they were doing severe K Day and night they were.

Doing.

So they were hearing K from the local Bahavas devotees especially Krishna. So in this day one year they performed Sikh 24 hours one one time one day, midnight 12 o' clock. These two ladies were happily singing and dancing in the hands of that big diver. Suddenly he saw they heard something ankled bell sound. They were thinking oh, some Matajis might be coming and why they are coming here? In this way these two devotees they were thinking some Mataji these two devotees started singing. Once again Lord Krishna appeared along with all Gobis on the banks of this performed all the Leelas. Whatever you performed in Gokula.

As a.

He lived virgin L on the banks of this 32L Lord Krishna is performing with Gopis especially Gobies. The topmost Leela is the Lord Krishna started his Rasa Leela. Very wonderful Rasula. These Leelas are witnessed by these two Rishis. They were happily witnessing all the Leelas of Lord Krishna and Gopi San they were singing, singing, singing in this way they were witnessing all the Leela.

Yes.

So after the donation of Raina all the Gopis and Krishna entered into the water of water body of this and.

Again.

So these Rishis were enjoying. They were crying in Ananda ecstasy so they were witnessing. So in this way Lord Krishna was giving darshan to these two devotees because of the Namada in this what happened? While finishing completing the Rasa Leela in Jala also time three o' clock time Morning three AM that time Lord Krishna and Gopis started to depart from this place these Rishis are same. O Lord Krishna is going before from here that time we know that all the Gopis and Krishna they removed their dresses and they were playing and they removed their ornaments also they placed their dresses and ornaments here and there, here and there. But after Janani Dhrivak all the bookies are saying Radharani saying here Ra also is playing with North K Now time is 3 o' clock.

So you have.

To stop this way all the book is started departing from here each and every go Pe they do not know where their dress. They picked up some dress and they just covered their body. Each of the picked up there some ornaments and they reported to Guru finally our hero Lord Krishna is coming out of water that time he is searching.

Dress dress.

Not as far Lord Krishna is terrified oh what is this? You can go like this. That time Krishna was circling here and there, here and there finally.

So in this day.

He found out Radharani's Shah so he thought oh, I just got one piece. So he covered his body with one piece so he tied like this and he tied and now he is searching for his other ornaments. No ornaments are there. Finally he could find some copies.

Lord.

Krishna but next year no Lord Krishna thought oh, what can I do If I go like this will eat me like anything. So his plan and he saw some palm leaves are there he found some palm leaves and he made a nice ornament using palm leaf and he put that palm leaf on the next left ear right here original this side covering Krishna started covering there at that time only so in this way Lord Krishna became here. That means one piece means one part of the dress so and only one year. So in this way Lord enacted this human as pastors before Gopila Gopalaya and they were immersed in ecstasy. And finally Lord Krishna told I think because of your Nam Bhajan I gave you my darshan. This is the intimate pastime Even in Brajag we Start three this thing. But here I have so shown you. Because in Kaliyoga through Rama Sankitra only you can attain. So in this way Lord Krishna blessed these two Rishis. These two Rishis stood. Oh my dear Lord Krishna. If you depart like this, how the ethnic people is going to enjoy your. So our request to you my Lord Krishna. You please appear here as you are so here in the main altar male with their sh. Their eyes Raj with stick his hand and this side many cows are. So he's hurting the cows with a stick in his hand. So this is a very wonderful divine form of the God. Very very beautiful. You see that probably now the big function is also going on. Commemorate this Leela.

Leela.

This is the sixth day of Ramot. On the twelfth day Rosarila pastime will be there.

And.

At the end of the function 18 day function 18th day all the devotees carry butter in their hands. And when the Sri Murti is coming on the Palp.

So.

Intimate pastime between devotees and Lord Krishna it is evident and elevated. This function is going on very wonderfully. Thousands of devotees this town villages. They will come and they will drink very wonderful originally so they will play with Lord D. So they have to see that. So in this way Rajagopalas Swami is giving darshan and this Lord describes living in Kaliyoga Many so called yogis they will try to achieve liberation or a supreme position by performing yoga processes which are very authentic which are mentioned in Chanda Bhleya Parishad There are 32 Vidyas. Vidya means knowledge. This is what knowledge actually Process 32 Process Are there to attain liberation. It's very difficult processes.

Each and every.

Every one of the very difficult to perform people like us. So lot Bharu is very intelligent. If they come to this place and if they hear 32 pastimes just hearing right 32 pastimes they will go back to God. This is reality. By the mercy of Krishna all the step two LEAs are given in a peculia form around the around the sanctum sancton of this Raja Pasqual. So just by hearing Krishna Katha in this place only guarantee Krishna is giving guarantee. You come to me, you will come to the God. So this is the pasting here just by seeing God here just to see the 32 pictures what are the pastimes and killing. So each and every one, every pastime is equivalent to very difficult just hearing my activities. So that is once again not food here just to hear my class from their duties. So now we are going to take Krishna Swami.

In Kumbakona as the historic messian. Tatakas says that he mentioned that this place is known as Panchata because the three Panchata money during that time. So few words about this place. Because I don't know. You will get permission very quickly.

It.

Food, no sitting around and some places. So we came here talk about this deed. We are talking. There was a lot of talking about.

Making the.

Talk go back and forth. But nobody did that.

So at that time when it came.

To.

That much history. So we start moving in and to get this. So we found this stapati in this place called Swami Mabai which is actually 18 mountains from here. And the thing is, one of the problems is nobody. The din was very big.

Kilo.

So each one is three tongs. 3,000 kilos. So 15,000 kilos. The whole.

The whole.

Very big and very difficult to cast. So often is about this. Couldn't they could, you know, see the other ones.

They were.

Who is this Orchard caste, national caste. These they are, you know, very approved. Very approved. For they are approved in the books. Another problem was it was to do this in Asta defined the eight metals. Which is another story you can tell later about Astra about. So they. We found this kabati here, right? And he swam in I think two brothers. And I think the father was there. I think it's no more. So he.

So he.

He also said, well, poisoness Lord Chan. You don't know who is this came here. So we talk them all the way to Mayanpur. You see, they came with a mentor out from. I think the father came the two sons. They come to see our Ramad. At that time we had the.

Young.

But no.

So.

And then we had some philosophical discussion. And there was a discussion.

For D.

Is there that researchers have to look into that. And then you will see. You know, the Lord is in there coming here. So with the whole discussion the. The deities of my. Which actually the obviously very beautiful transcendental or you know, the dressings and everything.

They become very.

Of course they become very convinced. So the. The elder father came here and they came desire to do the bunch of platform. So when they come here, I just want to go very quickly because maybe only special some other time about how they came about the process. The casting was first they carved the form of the Lord in a big wax. You know, in the.

Wax form.

So they do everything. They have the door, right? So then they cover the world with this mud from the cavalry river. As you See that the cavalry is around here from the cross a couple of times. The Cavalry river, one of the major rivers. So the Cabriolet river has something very specific. That is the sand has a lot of silica. This material is very good to have. Because once they do form in wax.

They cover.

With this mud. That they did become like a ground, you know, full of non with iron mesh. And then the name you put in.

A pit.

Very intense fire. They make a huge pit in the flower. They put the lilies more or less upside down sticking out a little bit. The the be is actually not that's before they put the whole becomes like clay, like a brick, right? You take a break a mud. You put in the fire. The brick becomes very strong. So this becomes the whole thing becomes very strong. So once the thing goes down they take the de put as like upside down, the head down the hip up. And at that time they drain the wax out. They heat, they drain the wax. They heat, they drain the wax. And then the inside is the imprint of the form. Beautiful form of the Lord. So when time comes for casting they have like. I think they have like 12 pits fire no going around.

And they have the mantle.

From the feet. They start pouring continuously. I call the lava because it's right. It goes right inside the food. And through the food he goes. He fills up the whole form of the Lord. And that's how it is is cast. That stays for three days to cool. Five days going off. He drink the wine. And then the form of the with more of that he will make.

Now I would like to introduce very special someone who just arrived his name to win the Christopher.

Many years.

You know.

President Chennai temple. Of course under the guidance of his.

Holiness.

They have the temple management committee residing for many years now as far as I last year has been a new service for free to become. So this is one of them actually. So this very important service supervising all these temples. And he have come here to welcome all the safari Dev. I really want to say if you want to be very nice. I know we had a lot of.

So you're speaking a very auspicious policy. Those before de so fortunate and Maha also visited you. This is one of the biggest temple. This is one of the biggest temple. As you might have seen walking from the main. From there you see the main street. And we are also getting a beautiful temple of T in. But they can't imagine to build such temples. Of course you see you seen all nights ago festivals. The US small deities they come out and the Krishna Sitting like this. Not because he has back pain. Because he's a king. The king. So he's outside. And the main go to is standing straight. These two cultures. And Maha Prabhu. Maha Prabhu has traveled here five days back. And those days there was no any vehicles or GPS system. Exactly. Came to all these places. Wonderful places. And not one or two many devotees TR to escape what's going on. And five days back a day safari divorce will come. I always start in suffering means remove suffering. Those suffering have no more suffering in this material world. No suffering. And especially those who getting satis no suffering. So Lord will be blessing all of you. And today morning also you would have seen some temples to seek all them temples not longer two days. You stay for at least two weeks. And how to came here. And we also keeping our feet on those places where Maha Papur God dust is there. Even though it's fine. Those dust are waiting for to st. Like Krishna ate one.

You know.

Ram and go. Mama Krishna is reading heart. But she didn't believe just he had big breakfast. Krishna says get telling lies. Don't believe lies and telling asking for every thief and st. He is a symptom. Krishna is a perfect thief. He was never th she said Ma, I'll open my mouth so nothing is there when we we need k. If you don't wash more properly. And many Acharyas they mention why Krishna eats. When devotees walk in Parikam then they notice heat devotees be devotees and they feed on the sand and they take the mouth. Sometimes devotees come from this is more than. And unless the acute cannot have a taste those dust has not already there's been all the feasts of very great devotees. Krishna want to see My devotees are tasting my lotus feet.

Myr.

I want to taste my sand particle from my devotees feet. So he tasted. Only Krishna can do that. How many of us will love and do that? No, we don't even like to touch of shoes. We use our neck to put Krishna he also had the Rajasuya India service. He used to take all the shoes of devotees clean them and clean. He just wants to take the dust of some particles to be there. So this place very auspicious. Every part and every portion of this. Every inch of this temple is filled with the lotus dust of many devotees. Right from Ramadan they all were here. And we because of our unlimited senses we are not able to sense. And then we can hear them. So when you walk native one justice making some justice. Only pillars are there. I don't know when you start counting the pillars, you have finished with 16 nos. For so many pillars are there. So when you go to the temple, each one can dispatch. But these pillars are not made by. We can't even imagine the pillars single stone. This and entrance were viewed used to stand up. Nowadays modern buildings after some few days big crash. But this way that thousands and thousands of years and one thing Lord can do it. And we are also fortunate to be born in k. The structures are still there to take d upon this great Acharyas and their beautiful lordship. And I'm sure that Lord Raja Gopal is for me and Lord is called Raja Gopala. Swami we bless all of you for pure devotion. So that we don't have to come back here and just get to it again. Even if you want to come back here, let us come as devotees and preach. For I saw one devotees. He was distributing book right near the Al. I told him a joke. Are you going to distribute to Mahaj book Krishna also. It was the old venue. Krishna wanted to see how my devotees are distributing my books and was saying.

That.

I am staying the temple where Bharu Maharaj is always there. And Meenu is a great scholar and Maharaj he looks like a Buddhist monk. She doesn't carry his D. So once given nothing at her. He was standing. He was very humble. He was standing near a pillar and standing in Japan and you bought them a tuition should read books. He thought Maharaj.

Oh my God.

This is the photo this then of the temple. D was shock.

Hey, then.

A handbook that Mary that was heart of pounding. Maybe Mahar wanted to test how this Dev is distributing books. If I was there. Hey, I am a. I'm the temple Christian who are distribute books. So this shows more the advance more humble. And I'm praying the lordship that I also get that humility so that I can also I managed for many many years. I was there for Madurai safari long back. One small safari first time when the bus was going this a very hot summer season. The b very hot. So Guru was going in the car. There was a big tentacle narial and some lemon juice vada. They were also in sun Immediately Guru Maharaj he said like this. You made a devotees or jump left outside. Within five days the shop was empty. Because I speak. Please take the again and again make every every juice and every shopkeeper very happily. He said oh.

Today.

The supply is also not only helping us to create our own life. He also helping other devotees who are all suffering outside. But they let me. They can get and they can become more terrified.

I.

Thank you so much, my good Mr. Christopher. And we're going to proceed now because this is a massive temple. We also after the Darshan you see if anybody get lost, you proceed to exit. How long will it take? Okay, the main lesson is here and then we have another one hour drive back to this house of dinner. Then we sleep. And remember, just to let you know tomorrow you have to be ready at.

We're going to visit a very important in the city. Only 6km drive and from there another 6km to discontent. Then we hopefully they can be the transmission for us to go to the place. Okay, so we proceed. Thank you very much.

Hare Krishna. All the the rule is do not pay obeisances near the main deity altar. There's a gardas tampa there, you have to pay obeisance there because when you pay obesience there our feet may be touching showing the other deities nearby. That's a rule Here is gone, we go very nearby. But here the beauty of this temple is that you got very near the deities project is going.

Thank you.

Always remember.

Always Sam. It's.
