Guru Maharaj's message is your advice advantage. The following is a Sri Chaitanya Sheikh Sharmita class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on April 14, 2025 in Sri Ramayapur India.

Hare Hari Om Tatsat Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, I think after a long pause, we are starting back with Chaitanya Shikshamrita reading. So I think we are on the sixth shower, aren't we? Seventh shower, first stream entitled who's qualified for Melo Rasa? This is the subtitle. Only those persons who have awakened love have attained vairagya, Detachment from worldly matters are qualified for Rasa. If those who have not yet achieved pure vati Bhava and material detachment try to assess Rasa in vain, then they will engage in improper behavior in the practice of Rasa, the Bhava that naturally arises in those who have awakened love, that itself is rasa. The analysis of Rasa is merely explaining what bhavas are present and how they are combined in that rasa. Rasa is not a limb of Svadhana practice. Therefore, if someone says, come on, I'll teach you the sadhana practice of Rasa, then, then it's merely cunningness or ignorance on their part.

There are some cunning people that say, I know something your Guru hasn't told you.

So there are some cunning people who say, I know something that your Guru hasn't told you. Yeah, I know something that your Guru hasn't told you.

I know that those are the words to attract your mind.

So we know that those are the words to attract your mind.

And on Maharaj, I saw a Sannyasi sitting around and standing in a corner.

So one Brahmachari saw a Sannyasi swinging his arms, standing in the corner.

He was waving his arms.

He was waving his arms.

What are you doing?

The Brahmachari asked him, what are you doing? Shh. This is secret.

But the Brahmachari, he didn't stop inquiring.

But the Brahmachari, he didn't stop inquiring in crying.

Inquiring, Inquiring.

Yeah, that's right.

And Sadh Babaji tell me that he would tell me something.

So finally he said, the Babaji, One Babaji, he told me that he would tell me something.

That I didn't know.

That I didn't know, that my Guru didn't teach me that My guru didn't.

Teach me, so he taught the practice of the rasa of a peacock.

He told the practice of the rasa of a peacock.

Rasa. The Western devotees or non Indian devotees, they got some peacock cow.

So most of the Western devotees, non Indian devotees, they get the body of a peacock or cow. They are kind of Santa Rasa. So.

This kind of Rasa is taught, but it's actually not something that's taught.

So this kind of rasa when it's taught, but actually it's not something which.

Is being taught, something that you actually.

Learn, that's something that you naturally learn.

And so when someone tells you this thing hunting.

So if someone tells you, what was the last part?

Gurumaj, they're just being honey.

Oh, they're just being honey or innocent. What's a good match?

All ignorance.

All ignorance on their part.

I was single Vaishnava, 99 years old.

And I was with a senior Vaishnava who was 99 years old.

And he wanted to tell me something. My guru had never called me.

He wanted to tell me something that my Guru has never told me. I told him that my train is leaving. So.

People, I guess a lot of communists trying to teach you a practice.

So there are people like this who are out of their cunningness, they try to teach you practice of Rasa.

One has to be very careful and.

One has to be very careful. Prabhup, wipe his mouth. One has to be very careful.

Not something that you learn.

This Rasa is not something that you learn.

It's something that mellows us.

It's something that manifests.

This is ABH Sampradaya.

This is Apa Sampradaya Sri Nams, Sri Sangi Naam, Sangam Tyaktva Durata Atmava Shimi Vivekta Hasina Chintayin Maam Atandritaha. Being conscious of eternal self, one should give up association. Being conscious of the eternal self, one should give out association with women and those intimately associated with women. Sitting fearlessly in a solitary place, one should concentrate the mind on me with great attention. Quotation From Srimad Bhagavatam 111429 Matras Vasa Duhitrava Niviksha Tano Bhavet Balawan Indriya gramo Vida Apikarshati. One should not allow oneself to sit on the same seat even with one's own mother, sister or daughter. For the senses are so strong that even though one is very advanced in knowledge, he may be attracted by sex. Srimad Bhagavatam 91917 Satyam Saucam Daya Maunam Buddhi Sri Hiri Ryashakshama Shama Damo Bhagas Cheti yet Sangat Yati Sankhayam tesh Asanteshu Kandi Tatmashu Asadusu Sangam Nakuriya choch Yeshu Yoshit Krida Krida murugeshucha. He becomes devoid of truthfulness, cleanliness, mercy, gravity, spiritual intelligence, shyness, austerity, fame, forgiveness, control of the mind, control of the senses, fortune and all such opportunities. One should not associate with a coarse fool who is bereft of knowledge of self realization and who is no more than a dancing dog in the hands of a woman. Shimad Bhagavatam 33133345 Bhavas in the concept of Rasa the following five distinct bhavas are observed. Stai Bhava permanent ecstasy, Vibhava special ecstasy Anubhava subordinate ecstasy Satvika Bhava natural ecstasy Sanchari or Vyabachari Bhava transitory ecstasy Stai Bhava is the root of Rasa Vibhava is the cause of Rasa Anubhava is the effect of Rasa Satvika Bhava is a special effect of Rasa Sanchari Yavichari Bhavas are the assistance of Rasa Vibhava, Anubhava, Satvika Bhava and Vyavchari Bhava bring Satvika Bhava into a relishable state and give the state give it a state of Rasa as mentioned in Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu 2.1425 this Rati for Krishna is called Stai Bhav becomes Bhakti Ras when made relishable in the hearts of devotees by Anubhavas, Satvika Bhavas and Vyabachari Bhavas through activities such as hearing so Srila Prabhupada's translation of this verse from the nectar of Devotion without relishing some sort of mellow or loving mood in one's activities, no one can continue to perform such activities. Similarly, in the transcendental life of Ka Consciousness and devotional service, the there must be some mellow or specific taste from the service. Generally this mellow is experienced by chanting, hearing, worshipping in the temple and being engaged in the service of the Lord by means of Vibhava Anubhava, Satvika Bhava and Vyabachary hearing and chanting are activated and the devotee is able to taste love for Krishna. When attachment crypt for Krishna and permanent ecstasy, Stai Bhav becomes the mother of devotional service, Bhakti Rasa. One is having some transcendental emotions for Krishna, then that becomes the Bhakti Rasa or the main mellow. So the main dresser for Krishna, the Stai Bhava becomes the mellow of devotional service.

Ladies, he or she is realizing a particular mellow.

A devotee, he or she would realize a particular mellow imbued with loving mood for Krishna. So in this way they're tasting love for Krishna. Stop.

Not only people in the jail world.

That.

I'm thinking about women, normally people.

In the material world, we are thinking about women.

As we think about Krishna.

But actually the whole process of Ka consciousness is to think about Krishna.

Hana, the permanent ecstasy we have becomes the mellow of devotional service.

So the permanent ecstasy we have becomes the mellow of devotional service.

And Ivana is able to taste this mellow.

So if one is able to taste the stai relish the Stai Bhava, then that becomes the mellow of their bhakti Rasa.

Rasa is the subject of.

So Rasa is the subject of experience. Rasa is the subject of experience. In a detailed context, these matters would be understood well. But until the Sadhaka practitioner experiences Rasa, this subject cannot be understood. Rasa is not a subject to be merely known. It is a subject to be experienced by tasting. Inquiry and collection are the two primary aspects of knowledge. But until these are complete, the ultimate aspect of knowledge, experience of taste, is not attained. Note. As mentioned in the Tattva Sutra, what we generally call knowledge might be inquiry or collection. It is not experience of taste. The Rasa is not manifest without the experience of taste. So.

One needs to taste the mellow Rasa with Krishna.

So one needs to taste the mellow the Rasa with Krishna.

The Rasa is not manifest without the experience of taste.

The Rasa is not manifest without the experience of taste. It's not that Rasa exists in some kind of a topic.

Is not manifest without the expanse of taste.

It's an inquiry. Rasa is not manifest without the taste.

Blessing all of you.

Gurumaj is blessing all of you.
