The following is a morning class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on April 12, 2025 in Sridharmapur, India. The class begins with a reading from the Srimad Bhagavatam 3rd canto chapter 15.

Verse reading from Srimad Bhagavataram 3rd canto on the subject matter the status quo chapter 15 chapter entitled the description of the Kingdom of God verse number 8 Yesya Vacha Prajasarva Gavas Dhanteva Yantritah Translation In Purport by His Divine Race Translation all the living entities within the universe are conducted by the Vedic directions as the bull is directed by the rope attached to its nose. No one can violate the rules laid down in the Vedic literatures. To the chief person who has contributed the Vedas we offer our respect. Purport by Rla Prabhupada the Vedic literatures are the laws of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One cannot violate the injunctions given in the Vedic literatures anymore than one can violate the state laws. Any living creature who wants real benefit in life must act according to the direction of the Vedic literature. The conditioned souls who have come to this material world for material sense gratification are regulated by the injunctions of the Vedic literature. Sense gratification is just like salt. One cannot take too much or too little, but one must take some salt in order to make one's footstep palatable. Those conditioned souls who have come to this material world should utilize their senses according to the directions of the Vedic literatures otherwise they will be put into more miserable condition of life. No human being or demigod can enact laws like those of the Vedic literature because the Vedic regulations are prescribed by the Supreme Lord. Bangla.

Srimad Bhagavatam Trithyos Kandha Panchadas Adhya Slok Rashtra Ayin Jamun Longhan Karajayanam Tamani Boydik Shastre Nirdesho Longhan Karajayanam JG Bhutar Jiboner Prakito Lab Indrio Samuh Tanahabe Kono Manu Satava Devota.

This verse is about Vedic injunctions.

Injunction for Life.

Prabhupada gave injunctions. The Supreme Personality of Godhead gives instructions for our lives.

We have come to this material world in order to enjoy our senses. In this place we get some Happiness and we get some miseries.

The Vedic injunctions for my misery.

So if we disobey the Vedic injunctions, we would get misery.

Now we follow the value and yes.

So if we follow the Vedic injunctions, we get relatively more Sukh.

Amra, Jodi, Boydik, Bidhibida.

We see that someone has money, previous karma.

So we may see someone with name, fame, power and so on. This is due to their previous karma.

Iher mode.

Then they fall into more miserable life because they forget that they had performed good activities previously and thereby they engage in sinful activities and fall into more miseries.

So.

Maybe someone by some kind of senior process can avoid the law of the state. You can avoid the law of any adjudication.

Maybe by some sinning. One may avoid the law of the land but one cannot avoid the law of God.

Our businessmen are planning how they can avoid paying income tax.

People think how they can avoid income tax. Businessman.

Is thinking, how can I close all the loopholes?

But the government is thinking, how can we close all the loopholes? So like this, the competition is going on. We are in this material world because we want sense gratification.

This material world is like a prison house. So therefore here by our activities we can get happiness or distress. But we can also get liberation. Oh, but we cannot get.

By karma. We get different Yajnas for different ages. Satya Yuga, it is meditation. Treta Yuga is Homa or Yajna fire sacrifice. In Dwaparayuga it is temple worship.

Among a college. And for this age of Kali it is the chanting of the holy names of the Lord.

Everything we do for the pleasure of Krishna is called a Yajna, the son of God.

Anything that we do for the pleasure of Krishna is called a Yajna or a sacrifice.

In the soul. All sense gratification is just like salt.

Sense gratification is just like salt.

I do not take too much.

One cannot take too much or too little. But one must take some salt in order to make one's footstep palatable.

Amader Amraj Island.

Every male should start with Brahmacharya. That's Varnashram. That's.

So Brahmacharya. Either side, if they want to be.

Grahasta or stay Brahmashad, Brahmacharis then decide whether they want to become a Grahasta or stay Brahmachari.

Brahmachari. How much salt does he want to enjoy?

We want to do is seek out our Ka conscious spouse.

We want to be in Ka consciousness. We want to Seek out a KA Conscious spouse.

I.

Have a stroke. Worse conditions. I went to heart reverse hospitals.

I went through stroke. I had other medical conditions. And I went through various hospitals.

Most of the nurses are ladies.

Most of the nurses are ladies.

I have seen more nurses.

And you will see more nurses than doctors.

Doctor. Doctor. The doctor comes later and doctor will inquire, how are you?

If you say okay, he walks out.

If you say okay, he walks out.

Every household has a larger rice. 1500 rupees. Thousand rupees per.

Every hospital has charges for the doctor visit. 1500 rupees. 2000 rupees. Whatever.

I never say okay.

So I never say okay. They have to work for their money.

She was not exactly a nurse. She was a technician.

There is one lady. She was not exactly a nurse. She was a technician.

Technician.

And as so speaking on privately that her husband. I don't know what he. And he said for me. I want to eat meat. I want to cook with my wife.

So one technician, she confided in me that my husband is a meat eater. And he would demand. I want to cook. Me. I want to eat meat. You have to cook meat for me.

Nars Amakshahari.

She told me she was a devotee and she wanted Father Ali.

She told me that she was a devotee and that she wanted to follow all the principles. But she had to force follow her husband. So she didn't know what to do. She told me that after cooking for for her husband she would take a shower and then she would cook bhoga and offer it to the deity. So it is important. It is very appropriate to marry someone who is a devotee. Now many Grihastas they are studying Garbadan Samskara.

I want to have a child.

Because they want to have a child who will be an Acharya.

Please bless us. How we have a child?

One couple came to me and told me. Please bless me so that we can have a child. Please bless us so we can have a child.

Acharya Shantan An Acharya child.

Acharya Child Prabhupada. That said, in London in 1973 to the Grahastas, my Guru Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur. He was an Acharya. So you should have Acharya as children. For some people it is too late.

Jaihak. Now they are older. Before, during Lord Chaitanya's times. Most of his associates and followers were Grihasta devotees. Householder devotees.

In those days, very early.

In those days they married very early.

He had a child. He was a first degree Arsenal.

I was. I was very surprised that Madhavendra Puri who is a great Acharya, he had a son.

I don't know how many children he had but one was Vishnu and his son Silver Pride devoted.

I don't know how many children he had, but one is mentioned and he was a great devotee.

His name was Vishnu Karnamchila Vishnu.

Devotional service means do everything to please the star.

So devotional service means to do everything to please Krishna.

Those of you who are situated in whichever ashrams, as per the ashrams you should follow the different rules and regulations.

So Madrias have different set of rules and we banal Jaisal.

So the Grahastas have a certain set of rules. The Brahmacharis, the Sanyasis, the Vanaprasthas, they have another set of rules.

Sannasi there among Bana Prostadero.

Most of his followers are rehearsals.

So in Lord Caitanya's movement most of his followers are Grihastas.

They are very much attached to Lord Krishna.

But they are very much attached to.

Lord Krishna, Tara.

And Lord Chaitanya.

Mahaprabhu.

Tini.

And Lord Chaitanya. Mahaprabhu's desire is that the whole world becomes delivered.

We are so person. Prabhupada has brought Lord Chaitanya's movement all over the world.

We are very fortunate that Srila Prabhupda has brought Lord Chaitanya's movement all around the world.

Disciple power to evangelize the world.

Srila Prabhupada was giving class that he wanted every disciple or follower to eventually become a guru.

Srila Prabhupada, Tinichan, Jatar protective.

In Bombay and Vrindavan. He said. He said especially the Indians among Bombay.

Among Brindavane, Tini, Balachan, Bisheshato, Bharatiora.

He also said this in LA and so on. He wanted everyone to be guru.

Los Angeles. And this is the order of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Srila Prabhupada would say.

He quoted Lord Chaitanya from the Chaitanya.

Lord Chaitanya had given these instructions.

So Lord Caitanya had given these instructions again and again gave them.

So.

We are having laws.

So we have the laws of Vedic literature.

By the Supreme Lord.

These are prescribed by the Supreme Lord. So there is a verse in the. There's a verse which says Mukti Kami Mukti Kami Sakhalay Ashanta.

So.

That whoever is whoever Is wanting material enjoyment or liberation? Impersonal liberation. They are all restless. But the devotee of Ka is free of all material desires and therefore he is peaceful.

See what devotee has no desire.

It is not that a devotee has no desire.

The desire. Her desire is to serve Krishna.

His desire is to serve Krishna.

If we have the desire to serve Krishna, then we will return back home, back to Godhead, to the original abode of Krishna.

If our desire is to enjoy sense gratification and no connection with Krishna.

Then.

We should at least follow the Vedic literature. Then we can rise up in the material world.

That congregation of the connection between heaven and life is instead of Brahmajaya.

In the fifth Canto it says that the relationship between the husband and wife for procreation is also Brahmacharya.

Even generally like a nice Mahmud.

For Santan, it is one thing, but even generally their connection is Brahmacharya.

If someone needs a country too much salt or too little, someone rehashed because they need some salt, then within the auspices can be done.

So someone may need little salt, someone may need more salt. So if a Grahastha needs some more salt, then whatever is within the prescribed Vedic literatures can be done. Some places in the world they have legalized alcohol. Some places they have legalized marijuana. But these are against our principles.

You know, some of the laws that are made in my hundreds are still others under my Yamaraj.

So some of these laws made here in this world are not accepted by Yamaraj. You can tell Yamraj, I followed the law of the country. So he would say, where does this say in the Vedic literature?

We have to be very careful what we do.

So we have to be very careful with what we do.

Everything we do for Krishna, very pleased with us. Lord Chaitanya understands our grace.

So we should do those things by which the Lord is pleased with this with us. Lord Chaitanya is pleased with us. The Panchatatwa are pleased with us. Any questions?

Dear Guru Maharaj, the instruction to become a guru given by Lord Chaitanya and by Srila Prabhupada it refers to everyone to become Shiksha Guru or Diksha Guru. Question by Marichi Prabhu Guru Maharaj Amar Shastadda Pranam Grahan Karban Guru.

Allah used it in the sense of Diksha Guru.

Prabhupada used it in the sense of Diksha Guru.

Among Dikkaguru, Hachan Shikha Guru and the Diksha Guru is the Shiksha Guru, the initiating spiritual Master is the Shiksha guru as well.

One of the speakers in the Vyaj Puja hand of the.

One of the speakers at the Vyasapuja pandal from the Gaudiya Mart he said Diksha guru is one but you can have unlimited Siksha gurus.

You are all my Siksha gurus.

He said you are all my Siksha gurus.

Amar Shikh Kaguru.

Anyway that is what he said.

Eidc meeting.

Digest.

So Guru Maharaj you mentioned regularly and you also mentioned during the AIDC meeting yesterday and many times you mentioned to become a Diksha guru. But Srila Prabhupada said that when you become a Diksha where you become a Diksha guru when you feel that you can digest the sinful reactions of the disciples. So hearing that many devotees they have backed off. Because when it comes to accepting the sinful load of the disciples then devotees are scared and they are backing off. They don't want to take the position of a Diksha guru.

So.

Only the daughters here can see how much mercy these guru is giving.

Devotees here can see how much mercy the Diksha guru is giving.

The Kaguru Pradhan Korean Revol.

Will be telling the disciples that gets rid of all the time.

So the Diksha guru is telling the disciples chant Hare Krishna, follow the regulative principles, worship the deities, do different devotional activities that gets rid of all the Karma.

Tulsi.

Srila Prabhupada told me to take 50,000 disciples.

I already exceeded that.

I already exceeded that. If they follow, that's good.

I'm trouble.

If they don't follow then I am troubled.
