Now if a person is looking for some material result, so if a person.

I was told by Prabhupada to get admission for the western devotees for entering to the.

He said, just drink one kilo of boiling ghee.

I said I will die.

I said I will die.

Prabhupada told me in my previous birth I was born in India.

Prabhupada told me that in my previous birth I was born in India.

So you are worshipping Radhakrishna deity are young, beautiful.

So then I was telling the Shankaracharya that I see that you are worshipping Radha and Krishna. They are young and beautiful.

But you're growing old.

But you're growing old. He said this is my Leela. I said this Leela everyone has to do in the material world.

Anyway, I was not successful in getting the entry into the Karatpur jungle.

Anyway, I was not successful in getting the entry into the Jagannath Puri temple for the foreigners.

But then the chief Minister of Bengal of West Bengal Sri laid that. Don't forget Rallah Borjano.

But then the chief minister of Bengal Mamata Banerjee she duplicate temple.

I thought that the architect. The architect said this temple is a miracle. Because some universities study maximum comprisement.

So I talked with the architect of that new temple and he said that this temple is a miracle. Because one university did a study and the dimension the master plan of the Puri temple and the new temple there is only a difference of 15 millimeters.

Now. Sorry.

And.

So this temple has Vajrana Lodesh Vajra Sadha chakra made from the same wood as Lord Jagannath.

This temple has Jagannath Baldev Subhadra Sudarshan chakra made from the same wood of the same wood from the deities of Lord Jagannath in Puri.

So in the Koela Jagannath.

By the Bureau of India that the Hoja will be irrevocably done by Isan.

So the West Bengal government they made an agreement of Bureau India that the Puja in the temple would be irrevocably done by iskcon.

So Merkavanga Arasangam iskcon. ISKCON India Bureau.

When you go in that direction, please stop and see the Jalanath jungle in Dheela.

So when you go in that direction please stop and see Lord Jagannath in Digha.

Nipati Anga Jagannathore Darshana Paranga.

I wanted sister entry for the foreigners.

I wanted just the entry for the foreigners.

Deities, everything.

Hello.

But the Lord gave me temple, deities, everything. And we are doing the Puja. It's your temple.

So yesterday I told how the Navdev Dham had nine islands.

So yesterday I told how Navaduip Dham had nine islands.

And the first island is Samantha Dweep.

In the Navavida Bhakti Larga over.

In the Simantini Devi Abdingranga Yogamaya Uma.

And she took the dust from Lord Chaitanya Lord's feet put it on her hair.

She took the dust from Lord Chaitanya's lotus feet and put it on her head. So the first island is Shravana and the second island is Kirtana.

In that second island there is Jenga Devi and Srinavali and Devo Bali.

So in the second island there is a Narasimha deity which is called Narasimhaalli Devapalli. I got narasimha prasad. Today.

There is also a holiday known as Maha Khashi.

There is also a holy Dham known as Mahakashi Mahakashi.

There Shiva and Vishnu combined and for my beautiful deity Harihara Devi.

There Lord Shiva and Vishnu combined and made a new a beautiful deity called Harihara deity.

The bodies of Lord Shiva and who desires the ghost? Everyone. They are all asked by Lord Shiva to chant the name of Lord Chaitanya.

All the devotees of Lord Shiva including Kartikeya and Ganesha was asked by Lord Shiva to chant the names of Goranga.

Kashiwaras. For a thousand years and may achieve impartial liberation.

So devotees in Kashi Banaras after thousand years they may achieve impersonal liberation.

But now the deep and the spice and gold only and nourish the Lord Shiva by chanting Auranga they achieve Krishna Prema.

But here in this place the devotees with Lord Shiva they achieve Krishna Prema.

Indaratra, Bhaktarval.

And in that area anyone dies. When they die, Lord Shiva chants in their ear.

And in that place when somebody dies, Lord Shiva chant in their ears.

So everybody goes back to the spiritual world.

That in Harya Gatra on the high side of Vashti on the Hara side is poverty.

So in Hariharakshetra in Hari's side there is Lakshmi and Hara's side there is Parvati.

So on the Hariharaetratla Hari nude Lakshmi, Devi Rupanga.

Because Shiva was feeling sad.

He was able to control the senses.

He was able to control his senses. Even Uma could not agitate him. But he got agitated by seeing Mohini.

So he felt disturbed sad.

So he felt disturbed sad. And Vishnu came and said we are not different.

You shouldn't feel sad by me. Why? Because that Mohini form was just me.

So you should not feel sad because this Mohini form was just me. Then they combined and formed the Harihara deity.

You have one. There's one pastime where traveled a little to the west of that place and the forest.

So. When Lord Chaitanya was finished soul and he was a lonely wife, a long heart.

And.

So when Lord Chaitanya was going to school he was accompanied by Kadadhar and Jagadananda.

And so he then came to the forest in the west of Harshatra.

So he went to the west to that forest of Hariharakshetra.

And there was a parrot. Saw Lord Chaitanya type of parrot it was hand and said please chant a voice ar Rana and Krishna.

So there was a parrot and Lord Chaitanya took this parrot in his hand and he said please say please chant the glories of Radha and Krishna, you are Sukhadev. But the parrot chanted, Gaura, Gaura.

I don't want to hear this. I want to hear the glories of Radha and Krishna. I am a devotee of Radha and Krishna.

I want to hear the Lord.

You know, I've been chanting this my whole life.

The parrot said, you know, I have been chanting this for my whole life. I cannot help but chant, No, no, no.

Oh, all right.

So he said, no, no, no. You should not chant this. So he said, Sukha Pakhi Shuka, parrot, please chant the glories of Radha and Krishna.

That I see here. The Lola, Balarani and Krishna and you and the other your.

God.

So the parrot said, when I see you, I. I see Krishna and Gadadar together. That's why I chant Gaura, Gaura.

Gaura. Name.

So chanting Lord Chaitanya's name is very blissful.

What do you think?

What do you think?

So then we went to the next island in Manjajri.

Then we go to the next island which is Madhya Dweeb.

Connected to the devotional service.

Madhya Dvip is connected to the devotional service of Smaranam.

There are many places there.

There are many places there.

And the Naraya dark there.

But next to the Golmadi river, Asura de gone. It was destroying the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya.

So next to the Gomati river, Sukhdev Goswami. He was describing the past pastimes of Lord Chaitanya. And when Lord Shiva heard this, he wanted to listen.

He was heading to the earth by loss and he went back. He went by the Anandi and he went by the Satchella.

So Lord Shiva, he wanted to come to earth by Kailash. He came by his Nandi from Kailash.

So Kailashrata, Shoverman, Nandi, Vahanatir, Mulama, Vandar.

But he felt Nandi was too slow.

But he felt Nandi was too slow.

I asked Brahma if he could borrow the hangs of.

So he asked Brahma if he could borrow the Huns of Ahan. He left Nandi there and he went to Nabudvi.

Everyone thought, O Lord Brahma has come. When I saw the Hamza.

Everyone thought that Lord Brahma has come. When they saw the Hamsa Vahana.

But there are the fires of Satan.

But they were surprised to see Lord Shiva.

So he came to hear the pastimes.

Of Lord Chaitanya so he came to hear the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya.

Our Lord Krishna has a storehouse of love.

Lord Krishna had a storehouse of love Bhavanshri Krishna Mahaar. But it was locked with a lock.

Lord chaitanya.

Lord Chaitanya he is Krishna but his mood is different Chaitanya. He is Krishna in the mood of.

Radharani Our Krishna Redha.

Therefore his color is like Radha.

Therefore his color is like Radharani Golden.

He broke open the lock.

He broke open the lock.

He started to distribute Lord of Krishna.

Freely the everyone he started to distribute the love of Krishna freely to everyone. And.

I wasn't discriminating with all Lord and alcohol.

He was not discriminating who was qualified? Who was not qualified he was giving it to everyone.

Prabhupada as Lord Chaitanya's representative went around the world and pursued this Krishna Bhaiwa.

So Prabhupada as the representative of Lord Chaitanya he went around the world and distributed Krishna Prema.

We hope you all get the mercy of what Chaitanya and achieve Krishna Rajma in his life.

We hope that you all get the mercy of Lord Chaitanya and achieve Krishna Prema in this lifetime.

Ladies in general are not so expert in the philosophy.

Generally it is said that the ladies are not so expert in philosophy.

But in the ninth candle there's a verse where Srila Bhabhat says that lady man sutra Whatever is our Ka consciousness for all evil.

But in the ninth chapter there is a verse where Prabhupada says in the purport whether it's lady man Sudra if they are on the platform, whatever if they are on platform if they are practicing Krishna consciousness they are all equal.

So we want all of you to however you meet try to give them this instruction to Jahe Krishna Tell them the message of Lord Chaitanya Lord Krishna.

So we want all of you whomever you meet try to give this message of Lord Chaitanya Try to preach this.

In the Chaitanyarudaya Sangadya Krishnodeya Sangadiya Ninga Pracharam saying.

I mean why give Krishna? Why you get Krishna conscious.

The more you give Krishna the more you get Krishna conscious. If you give material things gone. Unless you are giving to Krishna.

I guess it's already right?

I guess it's already late. Any questions.

Hare krishna. Guru maharaj. Thank you. Thank you Guru Maharaj. Very, very beautiful class. My question is when we are staying in. When we are in Grahasta Ashram, then many times we have some quarrels and fights also in home going on. Then we want to do very nice Sadhana and preach and assist you and please you. But because of the home situations, mind gets so much disturbed that we are not able to focus in preaching or please you. So what we can do in that situation?

Situation?

I saw Prabhupada told me that I was Sannyasi. I shouldn't counsel people in a Grihasta.

Prabhupada said, you being a Sanyasi, you should not counsel people on Grihasta matters. About Grihasta affairs. So in general, if you are disturbed, you should have knowledge of not being disturbed.

Southern partisans.

Regarding the quarrels in the Grihasta matters, it's better talk to some senior Grihastas.

You told Maharaj, before you got initiation from Prabhupada, you have read bhagavad gita for 10 times like in Brahmachari Ashram. We have. I mean you. You have also did lot of Seva. And how did you manage to read Bhagavad? And how did you manage temple? And how did you manage your Sadhyan Seva?

Of course, in those days Bhagavad Gita was a little shorter. So I asked my disciples to before initiation they should read Bhagavad Gita twice. But since I wanted to take first initiation, I used every spare moment to read Bhagavad Gita.

People.

I didn't stop my service. So no chance of Maya. Question from Matajish.

Thank you for the wonderful class. Yesterday in the class you said that all Grahastas should try to become Paramhansas. So how do we understand the application and what it means to be a Paramahansa?

What it means?

What it means?

Good question.

Always thanks God. Some ministers.

A Paramahansa always thinks something spiritual like about Krishna, about Lord Chaitanya.

Krishna repertory, Chaitanya Repatri.

And everything you do, you want to do it for Krishna.

Kind of serve Krishna kind of leads Krishna.

So like that one is always thinking about Krishna, trying to serve Krishna, trying to please Krishna. So depending on your Ashram, there are some duties to perform. You have to do that for Krishna. Obviously being Paramahansa is a very big thing. So we may gradually come up to that standard. So the thing which we have to Understand in this material world that there is nothing, no body can give us happiness. Whether in Bhuloka, Swargaloka, Narculoka, every place there is suffering. So we know that in this life we want to go back to Krishna. So in the eighth canto there is a history of Gajendra Moksha.

It was a land animal. Stronger, gender getting weaker.

So in that Srila Prabhupada is saying about how Gajendra is a land animal and the crocodile is a water animal. So gradually crocodile was getting the strength from the water and was getting stronger. Or.

So in the Gajendran near.

So Prabhupada was saying that we should have strong senses and strong mind to fight against Maya. So like that one has to choose where they are stronger, what is their natural habitat.

So most people are stronger or feel more natural.

So more people, they feel stronger, they feel it's natural being Grihasta. But they should still fight with Maya. And we try to be as much Krishna conscious as we can.

You know.

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj Dandavad Pranam Guru Maharaj in this current situation where the social media impact is much on the younger devotees, like now lot of young devotees are there. What you would you like to give them Maharaj? Like Guru Maharaj, what advice would you like to give them? Because the social media has been got more power and children are getting affected. So what would be your advice Guru Maharaj?

Unless something Krishna conscious social media.

I.

Think we should watch.

Unless there is.

In social media was something Krishna conscious in social media.

Unless there is something not Ka conscious in social media, what's the point watching social media?

If there's something Krishna conscious, watch that.

And if there is something Krishna conscious, we can watch that.

Krishna.

I don't personally have much time, although I have many pages. But on my China's engage in other things.

So personally I don't have much time, but I have many pages. But most of my time is engaged in other activities.

So in the future I'm trying to set up AI assisted both. Lectures and letters, those that are not personal.

So in the future I'm trying to set up an AI assistant which can store all my lectures, my general letters which are not personal. To answer people's questions. But we are told by Upadeshamrita that we should avoid. So like that we should discriminate what we should do or not. Completely. So I saw that Banu Maharaj, he was walking down the road and there was somebody listening to Mayavadi lecture. So.

What did the Swami said.

So what did the Swami say? What did he say? What did he say? He's a great Swami. I am simple man. How can I understand anything he says? Like that Srila Prabhupada spoke in such a way that everybody could understand. So. So this is the problem. Problem with the people who want to show off their knowledge. The Mayavadis, the Pandits. You see, in this material world, people are absorbed in politics and other material things.

In this material world.

But if we can understand that in this material world, there's no place for happiness. Every place has suffering more or less.

Thank you very much.

So, thank you very much.
