The following is a Sunday feast address given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on October 12, 2025 in Chennai, India.

So today.

Starts the day of the Sunday feast.

So Sunday is a special day of the Sunday feast. We would like to welcome all the devotees.

I especially like to welcome the 60 or so devotees of Humbram Chiropractic.

Especially we would like to welcome 60 or 70 so devotees who have come from Tirupati. And also Surbhi Devi Dasi, Mataji, Prabhupada.

Disciple Matrum Prabhupadude Shishyayana Surabhi Devi Mataji.

And so I pray that.

So we pray for Nitai Gor Radhakrishna, Lalita, Vishaka, Jagannath Baldev, Subhadra Sudarshan, Lakshmi Narasimha for their mercy Sri Sri Gaunita.

Radhakrishna Velita Vishaka, Jagannath Baladevhadramai Sudarshan Chakra, Lakshmo Shingdevurgude Karunayi Nama Pratikindra Sai and.

The steps of devotional service.

So in the nine steps of devotional service that I mentioned.

These steps are described as steps in our climb shall see his array.

These steps are described as the steps of our going to Ka Prema.

So in the Nilayhal La Mevinda Krishna Preme ki Poraka Nilayhala Cholapatraka Before I.

Describe these important things to know but.

Before I describe these things the important thing is to know.

Externally.

A body that externally we have a body.

And we also have a soul body.

Then we also have a subtle body.

And we are a soul or Atma within all this.

And we are the soul or Atma within all this.

Atma is very small.

The Atma is very small.

But it's higher energy.

But it's higher energy.

Krishna has explain Bhagavad Gita that this Atma is his Parashakti.

Krishna is explained in Bhagavad Gita that his Atma this Atma is his Parashakti.

Bhagavad Ki tela Krishna in the Atma Vanad Avrudaya Parashakti Abdin Suli.

Atma is conscious Atma Unarudayadha.

And the reason once the Atma leaves the body holds another body reincarnation then the body of Atma is dead.

So the reason the Atma Leaves one body and goes to another body called reincarnation. That's why the previous body where atma left is called dead.

In the Atma Vanadha.

All this real energy has no consciousness.

So this material energy has no consciousness.

In the Jada Shakti KE Unarvu karayada.

And consciousness is the atma in consciousness.

Is in the Atma.

In the Vunarvanadha Atma Vilurkarada region of.

The body, the person appears beautiful, active because of your consciousness.

So the reason why a person appears beautiful because he has consciousness. So this atma is eternal in the Atma Vanadha.

Nityamada Krishna on a battlefield, all the people here, they're always existing.

So Krishna at the battlefield, he said, all these people, they are ever existing.

They'll still exist.

And in the future, in some form, they'll still exist. Because for the Atma there's no death.

Is only for the material body.

Because death is only for the material body.

In the material world, we don't understand this people.

In the material world, we don't understand this.

We think that we are the body.

We think that we are the body.

Let's say we are in delusion.

In this way we are in delusion.

So we should understand how we are natural body.

So we should understand that we are not body.

And the process of Krishna consciousness is for this purpose.

And the process of Krishna consciousness is for this purpose.

In the Krishna.

And we are part. Small parts like rays of the sunshine are also coming from the sunshine.

So we are small parts like the rays of sunshine, also coming from the sun.

Of the Supreme Lord.

So we are part of the supreme Lord.

And as such, we are his servitor.

And as such, we are his servitors.

So this is the thing that has to be realized.

This is the thing which has to be realized. So there are different steps that lead us to Krishna.

Preme.

Now parsers to Kana's classes. Listen to the speakers.

First is to come to the classes. Listen to the speakers. Like you all are doing.

Some are coming for the first time.

Like some are coming for the first time. Who is here? Who have come for the first time.

Raise your hands.

Please. Raise your hands. Welcome. We are very happy to receive you.

You see how people are showing so much gratitude that you're here.

We see that how people are showing so much gratitude that you are here. So.

This hearing shows faith.

So this hearing shows faith. And.

Someone has no faith, they won't come here.

If someone has no faith, they won't come here.

I don't listen to the class.

They don't listen to the class.

So that's a step in self realization.

So that's a step in self realization.

Next step is to associate with devotees.

But next step is to associate with devotees.

These are such nice association.

These are such nice association.

So that's called satsanga.

So that's called satsanga.

The waters. If you associate, they won't let you go without taking some food.

Of course, if you associate with devotees, they won't let you go until you take some food. That's an austerity you may have to take.

So if you're even more fortunate than you do the Bhajana Kriya, and if.

You are even more fortunate then you do Bhajana Kriya.

Krishna chant the festivals.

That means you start to chant Hare Krishna, attend the festivals.

I heard today that in Chennai you have the Madhuram Otsava.

I heard that in Chennai you have this Madhur Mahotsav.

And very wonderful festival of chanting.

And.

Very wonderful. I like it very much.

So it's a very wonderful festival of chanting. I like it very much. I hope everybody participates.

I saw that. Thousands of devotees are also taking Prashant.

I saw that thousands of devotees are also taking Prasadam.

Follow the regular principles, take shelter of.

So in Bhajan Kriya, maybe one follows the four regulatory principles. Take shelter of a guru in the.

Bhajana Kriyala, Karaibadepa or Guru Nudaya Sarnadaibar.

And then they also take initiation.

Then they also take initiation.

And they saw in this way. Established in devotional service.

In this way they become very established in devotional service.

They try to get rid of all the bad habits.

Then they try to get rid of all the bad habits.

And maybe the gross habits.

Maybe the gross bad habits are already got ridden off before the initiation.

But. Bad habits.

But also you get rid of the subtle bad habits, The weeds and other offenses.

Kalaikal, Apara, Dhangal, Idalangoda.

That's called the stage of Unearth Navriti.

So that's called the stage of Unartha.

Navritti in the Nilakyana Perna Anartha Navruti.

So then as one gets free from.

All those Anarthas, so and as one gets free of all the anarthas.

At least most of them.

At least most of them, Then they become very fixed up.

As known as stage of Ishtar.

That's known as the stage of Nishtha.

Then as one practice I Nishta stage very enthusiastically, very hard, sweetly.

At Nistha stage, one practices Ka consciousness very discreetly, enthusiastically.

In the Nishta, Nilayla, Krishna Bhakti Rumba Urudiyodum Urchaha.

You can see someone who's on the Nista stage.

I study.

So you can see some of the devotees who are in Nistha stage. They're very strong. They attend all the programs.

And then from there they reach the stage of having a taste for this process.

Then from that stage they reach to the stage where they have taste for this process.

That's all Stage of Ruchi.

That's called the stage of Ruchi.

In the Nilai Ruchi.

When someone has this taste, it's such a wonderful taste.

When someone has this taste, that this is such a wonderful taste.

Someone said as you. Someone told me they didn't we lost.

Their taste of Janet.

Someone told me that they lost their taste for chanting.

If you desire that, if you chant.

Then you get the taste back.

But if you chant, if you aspire for that, then you get the taste back.

Chanting is very essential.

Chanting is very essential.

It's the yogadharma yuga dharma.

Chanting hare krishna, chanting hare krishna.

Hare krishna jabhikara.

In every Yuga there is a different dharma. There's a Shlok which describes this either.

And Satya Yoga chant hours meditating Chaita Yoga.

Yoga like Satyuga, it was meditating Satya.

Yugatla, Dhyanambandradha, Then home Yagya.

And. Worshipping the temple.

Satyug Dwapar Yuga was worshipping Krishna in the temple, serving him. In kali yuga. It's the hare krishna mahamantra, the hari.

Naam in the kaliyugatra in the hare krishna mah mantra.

So then when you're chanting and how it tastes, you get attached.

Then when you are chanting and you get a taste, you get attached.

That's called stage of Asakti.

That's called the stage of Asakti.

When you are trash. Once in Montreal, Falafel came and try to take her other hand around her.

Arms, around the neck of the son.

So in Montreal there was a couple came. Parents came putting their hand around their arms around their son.

Potato Andanga, having a nice talk.

They were having a nice talk.

When they got near the door, they grabbed their son, take him out.

When they got near the door, they grabbed their son to take him out.

Held on the doorknob and they were pulling on a streak. They wouldn't let go. Held on the door knob.

The son, he held the doorknob and the parents, they were pulling the son.

The sun is holding the doorknob, parents were pulling his feet. Now I said I don't want to.

Go, I don't want to go.

So you can imagine this scene that the son is holding on to the doorknob and the parents are pulling him by his feet and the son is saying I don't want to go, I don't want to go. So Srila Prabhupada said he was attached.

So from attachment comes the preliminary states of venva an advantage.

So from attachment comes the preliminary stage of Prema which is called Bhava or rati.

So in the Ashakti Larunda.

It's ecstatic love for Lord Krishna.

It's ecstatic love for Lord Krishna.

Lord krishna.

Maybe Lord Krishna or his expansions. Like narayana nirsimadev.

Narayanar narasinga dev. Or Ramachandramachandra.

Some form of the Lord, Some form of the Lord. Supreme Lord is one.

The supreme Lord is one. But he has many forms.

These are called.

These are called Vishnu tattvas.

We are jeeva tattvas, namala, jiva tattvangal.

And there are also some known as Shakti tattvas. Like Lakshmi, Radha and others.

Projection of the internal higher potency.

So as jiva, either we can be under the protection of the internal higher.

Energy or we can fall under the control of the lower energy or we.

Can fall under the control of lower.

Energy in the Jeevanaduktiki kila urala.

So that's the material energy.

So that's the material energy Adudam baudiga shakte.

So in the material life we see the different objects to our senses and.

In the material life we see different.

Objects from our senses in the Baudiya Valkaila.

And we want to enjoy.

So our senses are attracted to the.

Sense objects so our senses are attracted to the sense objects in the.

And the mind is the center of all the senses.

So it and the mind is the center of all the senses in the Manamanadu.

So the mind is also engaged like this.

So the mind is also engaged like this.

Greater than the mind is intelligence and.

Greater than the mind is intelligence.

In the Manasavada we under the Buddhi.

So the intelligence is singing is strategizing how to enjoy this particular sense object.

So the intelligence is strategizing how to enjoy this particular sense object.

In the Buddhianada in the Kuripitta.

The atma is higher than the intelligence.

And the atma is higher than the.

Intelligence, the Atma one of the Buddha Vayanada.

Because Atma is thinking I am this body.

But because Atma is thinking I am this body.

He just drags along.

He or she just drags along.

The Atma gets dragged along in the.

Atma.

Sandra to Ka.

But if the Atma surrenders to Krishna.

In the Atma Krishna Abdina.

And so then he tells the intelligence.

That this is our goal, we want to serve Ka.

Then the Atma tells the intelligence, this is our goal, we want to serve Krishna.

Appa in the Atma Vana Buddhiratla.

Intelligence tells the mind.

The Intelligence tells the same to the mind.

Buddhi manasirat la salla.

He thinks how to do things that can be pleasing to Krishna.

Then he thinks how to do things that are pleasing to Krishna. Mind engages the senses and the mind engages the senses.

Our senses are used making heart islands live for the Lord. Translation.

So like then the senses are used in making flower garlands for the Lord, cooking for the Lord, using different senses to do devotional service.

So in the Pulhangala.

So the Goswami is one who controls his mind, intelligence, senses and service of Krishna.

So Goswami is the one who control his mind, intelligence and senses and uses in the service of Krishna.

So Yara Buddhi Manam Pulangal.

And the person who is.

Under the control of the sense, objects, senses, etc.

And as I mentioned earlier, the person who is under the control of his senses, He is called Go Dasa. Who here wants to be a Godasa? Who wants to be a God.

Swami Ark.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Raman Henry. And.

Stop. This is the saline process.

So this is the sublime process of devotional service.

So Iduda in the Bhakti Tunda, Abdhingra Armayana or Sayal Moray.

Oh, see, it's a great science, systematic.

You see, it's a great science. It's systematic.

And we have to start it.

And we have to start it now, If we have not already started.

We also need to chant Hare Krishna.

Then we also need to chant Hare.

Krishna, Hare Krishna, Mahamantra Munjapikano.

And.

We do this every day.

And we do this every day.

And.

This is how some people do one round a day, some do four rounds a day, some do 18 rounds a day. Those are initiated, they do 16 rounds.

So some they chant one round a day, some they do four rounds a day, some they chant eight rounds a day. And those who are initiated, they chant at least 16 rounds a day minimum.

Say that Lord Chaitanya he toured over.

The whole South India.

We know that How Lord Chaitanya he toured over the whole South India.

The thing he did on a South Indian tour was anytime he saw anyone on the road, he would go and embrace him.

The thing which he did on his South Indian tour was to anyone he would see, he would go and just embrace them. Any male.

When he came. When he came to Sri Rana, he stayed there for four months of the rainy season.

When he came to Srirangam, he stayed there for four months during the rainy season.

Sri Rama Ha.

I said, why don't you worship Radha in AJ Narayan?

So some of the Sri Vaishnavas from Srirangam they asked him, don't you worship Lakshmi Narayan? So he said, Lakshmi did Tapasya to enter the Rasa dance of Krishna.

Chaste.

So Lakshmi is very chaste.

Lakshmi Rumba Karpakarasi.

She wouldn't dance with anyone else.

She would not dance with anyone else.

That means she knew that Narayan Krishna were all children.

So that means she knew that Narayan and Krishna were not the same. They were the same. They were non different.

But why she was refused?

But why she was refused? So the Sri Vaishnavas, they could not answer.

The son of the head priest, Sri Ramadan Gopal, he was sent by Lord Chaitanya and became one of the six Goswamis.

So the son of the head priest, he was sent to Vrindavan by Lord Chaitanya and he became one of the six Goswamis. He was gopala bhatta goswami.

Our gopala bhatta goswami.

Goswamis are the head of the lord chaitanya.

So the six Goswamis are the head disciples of Lord Chaitanya to spread his.

Movement in the Aar. Goswamihal Chaitanya, Mahaprabnodaya.

Are there written, right?

So our Sanskars for all the Griyasthas they are written by Gopala Bhatta Goswami.

That's why the Samskaras we observe are very much in line with the Sri Sam Viraya.

That's why the Samskaras we follow.

They are in line.

That's why they are in line with the Sri Sampradaya.

Poor Sampradayas would take you back to Godhead.

In Vedic scriptures it is mentioned that there are four Sampradayas who take you back to Godhead.

Prominent girls that Samaraya are in a heart of laundry.

Says, my last name is Ramanuja.

So of course there is one Lakshmi and one of the gurus is Ramanuja.

So Lakshmi Devidhanamana Guru Ramanjar.

Then Brahma Sampradaya.

The Param guru is Madhuvacharya, Brahma Sampradayam, Anode Pradhanamana Guru Madhwacharya.

The.

Paragraphs of somebody and their Promigor.

Nimbah and then.

What do you call that?

So four kumaras.

Their guru is nimbark, acharya, nanga kumargal, adla, pradhanamana acharyar nimbar.

And one Sambradaya which is established by Lord Shiva. That's the Pushti mark. And their guru is Vishnu Swami.

Adala Pradhanamana Guru and the Vishnu Swami.

So these Arjun Pradayas are especially embarrassed.

Take you back to God.

So these four Sampradayas are especially empowered to take you back to Godhead.

In the Nanga Sambraday.

We are in the Brahma Sampradaya, Lord.

Chaitanya and we are in Brahma Sampradaya. I think I covered most of the things. Today was a bit technical class. So Lord Chaitanya, he was very special. Rukmini told Krishna that you know everything.

Shiva is doing Khailash.

She said, you know what Brahma is doing in Satyloka. You know what Shiva is doing in Kailash.

You know what is going on.

You know what is going on in Anant Koti Brahmanda. But there's one thing you don't know.

One thing you don't know.

One thing you don't know. I know.

Radharani knows Radharani ki Tariya.

So Krishna was amazed.

So Krishna was amazed.

He was never told something that he doesn't know.

He was never told that there is something he doesn't know.

So he asked, what is that?

So he asked, what is that?

And. I saw he was told by Robini that you don't know how much your devotees love you.

So she told, you don't know how much your devotees love you.

Why we love you.

You don't know in what way we love you. Because there's nobody above.

So then Krishna replied, all right, I'll come as a devotee.

So Krishna said, all right, in Kalyuga, I'll come as a devotee. He said it three times.

I will come as the Lord.

I'll come as a devotee.

That way Lord Jaidanya is Krishna. What he combined with Radharani in that.

Way Lord Chaitanya is Krishna. But he combined with Radharani.

Mahaprabhu. Krishna Reda.

And Sri Krishna brought the storehouse of love.

Krishna brought the storehouse of love.

Only gave out very sternly.

But it was locked. And he gave out very sparingly.

When Lord Chaitanya came, he broke the lock.

But when Lord Chaitanya came, He broke the lock, looted, looted, Lord loot. He looted. He looted loot, loot.

Either colliding or colliding or colliding of dinner.

Sometimes we see on the newscast looting.

Sometimes we see in the newscast looting.

He looted Krishna's storehouse of love.

He looted Krishna's storehouse of Krishna's love. To give to all of you.

So he would give out. He said I have all these fruits, all these love.

So he said I have all these fruits. I have this love in the Anbu.

I order every human all over the universe. Everyone please help me to soothe this Lord of Ka.

But I order everyone, all the humans all over the world to try to distribute this love of Ka.

In the Ulatuar Kakuriya.

If you get one fruit, you are satisfied.

But then you want to give out, give out the other fruits.

But then you want to give out, give out the other fruits.

And the more you give out, the more your Ka consciousness increases.

The more you give out, the more your Ka consciousness increases.

So we are very fortunate that Lord chaitanya only appeared 500 years ago.

So we are very fortunate that Lord chaitanya appeared just 500 years or so ago.

And in the Brahma Viaja Purana it says at olden age of 10,000 years will start 5,000 years after the Khayogi.

And in Brahma Vaivar the Puran it is mentioned that there would be an 10,000 years golden age which will start after 5,000 years of the start of.

Just now. 5,000 years at the start of the Holy Ghost started.

So his divine grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. He appeared just now around 5000 years after the start of Kali Yuga.

In the Kaliuga.

He went around the world 14 times. 108 temples.

He went around the world 14 times, established 108 temples.

He gave his instructions to his followers.

He gave his instructions to his followers.

Among those instructions he said to expand and realize Lord Jajanna's predictions.

Amongst those instructions one was to expand and realize Lord Chaitanya's instructions. Lord Chaitanya predicted Prithvi, teacher.

Of the world. Every town of village.

Every town and village, every part of the world. My holy name will be sung.

So thank you for coming and you're part of this prediction.

So thank you for coming. And you all are part of this prediction. Two questions, one prabhu's, one mataji. Mike.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj, thank you for the wonderful class. Guru Maharaj, you were describing the nine steps of devotional service. So as a sadhaka, I feel stuck at Anarth Nivriti. And I don't think that there is any hope crossing this Anarth Nivriti stage, Guru Maharaj. So can you give me some pointers, as in how to deal with my own anarthas?

This is a kind of personal question.

This is a kind of personal question.

Either Tanipatta or Kelvi.

And maybe I have to speak to you alone to find out what your anarthas are.

Maybe I have to speak to you alone to find out what your anarthas are. But someone may have some anarthas. Or something that they think that is Anarta.

And also be advancing in other aspects.

And also be advanced in other aspects.

So someone been around for a long time.

So if someone has been around for a long time.

In spite of having some anartas, thinking of some things as Anarta, how they make has to be as a love, the taste or the ask.

So in spite of having anarthas or thinking they are anarthas, they would have developed a taste.

Even in the United States, Satan has ratchi or bala. We may also have some anarthas.

So even at the stage of rati or bhava, they may have some anarthas. But those anarthas are largely under control.

So we shouldn't feel too much preoccupied with anarthas.

So we should not feel too much preoccupied by the anarthas.

We should take steps to eradicate them.

We should take steps to eradicate them. Hare Krishna Maharaj. So my question is that Maharaj, how will we get a pure name? Maharaj. Name is pure.

And now the name of the Lord is transcendental.

The name of the Lord is transcendental.

We are on.

A program we don't have Broadway was one of the followers of Gandhiji.

So we were at the program of Vinoda Bhave, who was one of the followers of Gandhiji.

Gandhi.

He is in, I think Maharashtra, our Maharashtra.

And so he had called Ra.

And so.

And so Mayavadi Sanyasi.

So he had himself Srila Prabhupada and some Mayavadi Sanyasi.

So.

Prabhupada.

So Prabhupada had his devotees chant Hare Krishna. Then he spoke on pure Bhakti.

As he was in Manavrata.

So Vinoda Bhavai, he didn't speak because he was doing Monavrata.

He had his lady father's chant verse verses 1 chantra of the GIBA.

So he had his lady followers to chant some verses from one of the chapters of Bhagavad Gita. So then this Mayawadi spoke and he started to say his own mantra.

Satchitananda Krishna. Sat Chitananda Krishna.

Samavi was impressed.

So nobody was impressed. So Prabhupada waved to his devotees to chant, Started to chant and they with all their Midangas and kartas started to chant Hare Krishna. Everybody was clapping and rocking.

Program was over.

Prabhupada went thanks to the Lord is returning.

So after the program was finished, program was over. Prabhupada went to the devotees and thanked them for chanting. He said, you are all pure devotees.

Are your purity or not yet pure?

They said, prabhupada, you are a pure devotee. We are not pure yet.

There's ripe mango and green mango.

There's a ripe mango and there's a green mangoes.

Both are mangoes. So Prabhupada said, you may be unripe mango, but pure mango. So you get the holy name. You chant it.

And the holy name will be pure Holy name.

Then the holy name will be pure Holy name. All right, I'll go to see the deities.
