The class begins with a reading from the Srimad Bhagavatam 3rd Kanto chapter 15, verse 17.

Shigurundina Tarinam.

Very nice.

So this description of Vaikuntha planets is very nice.

So A and here in the Vaikuntha planets, all the residents are pure devotees. When we say this, we are not talking about just ordinary pure devotees.

Everyone.

So we see that in a lecture in London, Srila Prabhupada said that all the Grahastas should be Paramahamsas.

So the work of us went to Vishnu and the visual.

So the four Kumaras went to see Vishnu in Vishnu Loka.

Vishnu Darshana, Abhilashe.

But they were stopped by the gatekeepers.

Therefore they cursed them.

That you need to go to the material world. You don't belong here.

And they are the obligations.

So then Lord Vishnu came and they offered their obeisances. They were in the bliss of Brahmananda.

But when they smelt the Tulasi at the lotus feet of Lord Vishnu, then they started feeling ecstasy for the Lord.

Then they were converted to devotees.

Then they were converted to devotees.

I saw in the natural devotion I was asked, how much bliss does our.

Pure devotee get in the nectar of devotion? I was asking, how much bliss does the pure devotee get? At first they could not find it and then I found it.

That the water that is contained within the hoof print of a calf, that is the comparison to the pleasures that we achieve in the material world. Whereas the pleasure of devotional service is compared to an entire ocean.

The pleasure if impersonal Brahman is compared to an ocean.

Oh, sorry.

I can't regress. How impersonal Rama. Even if you compare it to an ocean, it's not equal to one atom of the ocean.

So even if you compare the entire ocean to the happiness of Brahman, the happiness of Brahman is not even equal to one atom of the ocean of happiness of Ka Consciousness.

J Shook Anando in the Adivaskirtan Anander Shivanai Anander Shivanai Nirananda Dury Jai Anander Shimanai in the Adivaskirtan there is a stanza, there is an Akar that says that there is no limit to the bliss of devotional service. There is no limit to the bliss. And all the distress, all the unhappiness goes very, very far away.

When we were in South India, the safari went to different temples.

B.

One of the in the temple. One of the temples was called. What is it called?

What is the name? One of the temple deities in the.

Temple was called the deity of inexhaustible blisso.

So Tamil name of the deity is Aravamudan. The temple in Kumbakonam. Inexhaustible nectar. So the Lord, he manifests inexhaustible nectar. This is Haridam is above this.

Always be thinking higher than praise the Lord.

So you should always be thinking how you can please the Lord.

This is nothing very difficult. In this way if one constantly thinks how one can perform devotional service or perform devotion to the Lord then he will always be in complete ecstatic bliss whether he is in the family with wife, children.

Hearts are the description of the life of the planets, her father organisms.

The description of the Vaikuntha planets they are full of all opulences.

Are interested in the holies of the Lord.

But the residents there are interested in the qualities of the Lord.

And.

They are not very much interested in the nice breeze and all the opulences.

And so they're absorbed in the holies of the Lord.

So they are absorbed in the qualities of the Lord.

Devotees.

The qualities in Vaikuntha or even the qualities here, Dharma Artha, Kama Moksha they are considered by pure devotees as Tucha very insignificant, like a straw in the street.

So Srila Prabhupada is describing us, the Vaikuntha planets to us.

Sa.

So the devotees. The amount of bliss in Vaikuntha is so great that the devotees, they are not interested in the atmosphere or in the weather and other aspects.

And also this description of Haridam is going to be given in the first spring of the pov.

So this description of Haridham is going to be given in the west wing of the TOVP.

Media person on the Ganses. I don't know what I was talking about when I used the word sense driving.

I was hearing a BBC video person on the bank of the Ganges. I didn't understand what he was saying but he used the word sense gratification.

Sense gratification by Indriyo Tripti So he.

Said what's wrong with that? What's wrong with Sans right?

So he said what's wrong with that? What's wrong with sense gratification? That's all they have the materialists. That's all that they have.

Eye opener for me.

Serving the Lord So that was an eye opener for me that that the materialists they don't understand about serving the Lord.

This is what has to be informed have actually was honor and bliss and serving the Lord.

So this is what has to be informed to them that there is unlimited bliss in serving the Supreme Lord.

A Bishaiti Tader Kache J Bhagawan.

So.

People come here and they have a desire to come here because they are Indians. They are naturally religious.

And so we want to have Lord Satan as mostly spread unlimitedly over all the.

So we want Lord Chaitanya's mercy to be spread unlimitedly all over the planet.

There was one thing that was army. He was hanged a trillion times around the Zodiac. I don't even either one atom of body.

So that is what Srila Rupa Goswami was saying that 1 trillion times the happiness of Brahma Jyoti does not equal even one atom of the happiness of Krishna Bhakti.

Devotion means that you can't have any desire, any material desire leading up to the impersonal realization.

So pure devotional service means you don't have have any material desire leading up to impersonal liberation.

That encourages some people wrongly that this leads to their personal Jew.

The negative things of this material world impels people towards liberation.

There was a yogi meditating in the Himalaya when he heard Krishna's flute He wrote his meditation, started crying, hitting his head on a rock.

So there was a yogi who was meditating in the Himalayas. But when he heard Krishna's flute he became so blissful that he started banging his head on the rock and started crying.

Sound like this people in the voice of Jati not only as a hello Buddha or hero or.

So like this people who are in the bliss of Brahma Jyoti when they hear the flute of Krishna or any pastime of Krishna they experience unlimited bliss.

Allah smiling all those.

Srila Prabhupda here speaks about how the smelling of a blossoming flower is very nice.

Srila Prabhupada Prasputita Phuler Jamiran.

But it is simply for sense gratification.

The inhabitants of Vaikanta the service of the Lord, not their own sons resurrection.

The inhabitants of Vaikuntha give first preference to the service of the Lord, not their own sense gratification.

Serving the Lord is so great how saints God has considered us and serve.

The Lord So the bliss of serving the Lord is so great that sense gratification is considered as insignificant.

At 9 I have an emergency.

This morning at 9 I have an emergency bureau meeting.

Bureau meeting.

So I have to end.

Are so merciful that we can taste this transcendental bliss even while we're in the material world.

Lord Chaitanya, Lord Nithyananda, the Panchatatva are so merciful that we can taste this transcendental bliss even while we are in this material world. So if we are always trying to see how we can serve the Lord, that is ideal.

That is called pure devotional service.

Hello everyone.

So Srila Prabhupada in another purport said that sense gratification is like salt. If you give too much then it is bad. If you give less then that's also not good. You have to be average in order to eat.

You have to be balanced.

So you have to. Every person, they need to do it a lot.

So every person may need a different amount of sense gratification.

Prabhupada says that gender was a land animal and Karaga was a orange.

So in the 8th Canto Gajendra Moksha Prabhupada explains that Gajendra was a land animal and crocodile was a water animal.

So whoever will be stronger, like for example the crocodile is getting stronger and stronger inside the water, whereas the elephant is getting weaker and weaker.

Sad Rah said how he can take as Taliban said, war on Maya. So we should keep writing.

So Srila Prabhupada said that we can take that position wherever we are stronger. But we have declared a war on Maya. So we should keep fighting stronger and stronger.

All right. We want to always be thinking and serving Krishna.

We want to be always thinking and serving Krishna.

Krishna Chinta among Krishna Shiva near Thagva.

So every day some sense arisen, most of the time doing servant.

So if you need some sense gratification, the rest of the time should be engaged in serving the Lord. If you can remain a Brahmachari or a Sanyasi, that is very nice. Because all the time you can think and serve, think of and serve the Lord. Any questions?

In Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says Ananda Chintayantamam. One should have no other attachment in the heart. So how can one have a sweetheart in Vaikuntha? Is that not incompatible? And what sort of a relationship is that? Is that an eternal relationship with your sweetheart in Vaikuntha?

That's not. That's not what he's asking. He's saying you have consorts in Vaikuntha with wives. Consorts.

Amen.

It means that they have no material desires. They simply want to glorify the Lord. They get so much pleasure there that there is nothing by that service. That there is nothing in this material world which is comparable to that. It is not that we become desireless. That is Sayujya Mukti.

We don't desire anything material.

We don't desire anything material. If we like to serve Krishna, he also likes. Okay, one more question.

We are always trying to get the mercy of Panchatatva and for the pleasure of the Guru and Vaishnavas. But why can't we even taste one drop of that bliss? Why don't we realize?

I don't know what the obstacles are.

Anartha Navti is one of the sages.

Anarta Nivriti is one of the stages to get rid of all the obstacles.

I don't understand why you don't feel any bliss. I'm just trying to control myself. Not break down and cry in front of everybody.

I don't know why you are not experiencing bliss. But I am trying to control myself not to break down and cry. So I have to go for the emergency meeting.

Lady's question.

So if there is any question from the lady.

No, no. She took it.

She took it. He. Okay. He took the lady's question.

Okay.

I don't have more.
