So how many of you are initiated devotees?

How many of you are initiated devotees?

Almost half.

How many have second initiation?

How many have second initiation?

Brahman? 15. 15 to 20.

So I don't know what other spiritual baptisms require. I went as they take Bhakti Shastri Bhagavad Gita three times and they rew to the third Chandra Bhagavadam.

I don't know about the other spiritual masters, but for second initiation I require the candidates to do Bhakti Shastri, read Bhagavad Gita at least three times and reach reading Srimad Bhagavatam at least till third canto.

So we want all the devotees to at least outside of initiation.

We want all the devotees to at least have second initiation.

It's nice, you know, some service in the temple has.

It'S nice if you can do some service in the temple as second initiated.

But that's not an essential heart.

But that's not an essential point.

We want you to advance in your spiritual life closer and closer to ka.

We want that you advance in your spiritual life and get closer and closer to Krishna.

Generally, people in the material world identify with their body as themselves.

Generally in the material world, people identify themselves as their body.

What we are is third soul.

But we are the spirit soul. And the spirit soul leaves the body. When the spirit soul leaves the body, the body is declared dead.

Prabhupada was preaching to song brothers.

Prabhupada was preaching to some villagers.

Say a grandfather.

Say a grandfather. A soul leaves the body. Everybody says he's gone, he's gone.

Who is gone? So who is gone?

So who is gone?

Center the earth.

Hair is there, body is there, skin is there.

Here the body is there, skin is there, Everything is there.

But I say he is God.

But they say he is gone. So who is gone?

Upper center of the yard.

So someone's fine. My husband is gone, My father is gone. My grandfather is gone.

So somebody is crying. My husband is gone. My father is gone, My grandfather is gone.

Kanavar Poivhar Tandai poivitar tata poi vitarna.

So Prabhupada Lord was asking who is gone.

So Prabhupada was asking who is gone.

This shows how the actual person is the atma, not the body.

This shows that how the actual person is the atma, not the body.

So.

As long as the atma is present in the body, body is beautiful and nice.

As long as the atma is present in the body, the body is beautiful.

It's nir.

When the atma leaves the body, then it starts to decay.

When the atma leaves the body, then it starts to decay.

According to the Hindu tradition, you have to burn the body.

According to the Hindu tradition, you have to burn the body. So everyone is born and eventually they'll die.

Whoever dies, I cannot take birth.

So Vedas says, when one dies again, he takes birth.

So the thing is that where we take birth, you can see the vegan regent, I have that decision making.

So the thing is that where we take birth, we can have that decision making.

I like various persons do some worship.

Like various persons, they do some worship for the devas and devis.

And as a result they get some material benefits quickly.

And as a result they get some material benefits quickly.

And they go to the higher planetary systems.

They may go to the higher planetary systems.

They stay there sometime, when the good karma runs out, calm down again, they.

Stay there for some time. And when the good karma is finished, they come down again. If they lead a sinful life, then Yamaraj has a nice place for them.

There was one family, wife, children, all my disciples.

There was one family. The wife, children, all were my disciples.

Father, head of the family and he.

Was against but the father, the head of the family, he was against.

Cancer.

So he was diagnosed with cancer.

He was in his bed.

He was in his bed.

Some are outdressed by dangerous persons enter through his wall.

Some very dangerous persons.

They entered through his wall.

They had leather robes.

They had leather robes.

And he saw them coming to him.

He saw them coming to him.

They look like Yamadutas.

They looked like Yamadutas.

No, no, no, no, not me, not now.

He said, no, no, no, no, not me, not now.

And saw those dangerous individuals disappeared to the wall.

So the dangerous individuals that disappeared through the wall.

He called his wife.

He called his wife. I want to read bhagavad gita.

I want language. I want java.

I want neck beads. I want japa beads.

So he started to chant our oranadiyaga. Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.

And his wife and children.

And his wife and children took turns to read Bhagavad Gita to him.

So what we could not do in.

Many years so what we could not do in many years. The Yamadutas did in few minutes.

And we don't want you all to meet Yamadutas.

We don't want you all to meet Yamadutas.

You know where they will take you?

We know where they will take you.

To one of the hellish places.

To one of the hellish places.

Ayanapana Tamistra Anta Tamistra Rau Rau Rava.

So would you rather go out back to the spiritual world?

We would rather want you go up back to the spiritual world.

Sha Nanda Maharaj was going to do.

Puja to Indra Nanda Maharaj he was going to do puja to Indra.

Hare Krishna was a six year old boy. He said bother, what are you doing?

Krishna was a six year old boy. He said father, what you are doing? So it dissuaded the Puja.

And got angered. They are in the dead.

That angered Indra Dev.

Instead Krishna had problems cows dragon around.

Instead Krishna had Brahmanas and cows to be taken around on Govardhan Parikrama.

Krishna.

Then in the dull days rain clouds roses once to do a cloud, a rain cloud burst below.

So then Indra who was angered, he told his rain clouds to do some cloud bursts.

We are seen in news house at some places Uttarakhand and Haryana, different places they have cloud bursts.

We see in newscast that some places like Uttarakhand, Haryana they have cloud bursts.

So this is happening.

So this is happening in Vrindavan.

And Krishna lifted the Govardhan hill.

And Krishna lifted the Govardhan hill.

Krishna Govardhana Malay to Kipir with one.

Hand, one finger he held the hill up.

With one hand, one finger he held the mountain up.

I told all the cows cold men, women under the hill.

So he told all the cows, cowherd boys to go under the mountain.

They took shelter of Krishna and went under the hill.

They took shelter of Krishna and went under the mountain.

For seven days he held up the mountain.

For seven days he held up the mountain.

Everyone had a different relationship with Krishna.

Everyone had a different relationship with Krishna.

His friends thought their ego was Krishna.

His friends thought that they are equal with Krishna.

And they said Krishna, that's the Dharma or the hill that Hasha.

So they said Krishna, let Sudama hold the hell. We'll Share you take some rest.

I thought they were pulling the sticks up and holding the hill.

So like that they were putting their sticks up to hold the mountain to help.

Actually Krishna, we think he's creating through his expansions all the Anandakhoti, Rwanda.

So actually lifting one mountain, one hill is not a big thing for Krishna. He's expanding into millions of Ananta, Koti, Brahmanda.

Indra realized that I'm messing with the wrong person.

Eventually Indra realized that I am messing with the wrong person.

He is my Lord.

He is my Lord.

And all the calls, all men, everyone came out from the hill and Kushnah, Kurza.

So then everyone, coward, boys, cows, everyone, they came out of the mountain from under. And Krishna put the mountain down.

And then the con men went to Dandama, asked him, we just saw your son lift a hill for seven days. There's a mountain.

So then the cowherd men, they went to Nanda Maharaj and said, we saw your son lifted the mountain for seven days. Who is he?

And he said, Adami the astral.

He said Gargamuni the astrologer. He came to our house.

He told us that your son, he has the power on iron in a well wisher or your sovereign red. And he will be Auschwitz for you.

He said that he has power of Narayan. He is auspicious for your cowherdmans and the cows. He will be well wished.

I thought like this. Krishna is the source of the super soul as anyone in your body.

So Krishna is the Krishna is the source of the super soul which all of you have in your body. And you are all assumed as Jiva Satis.

So that means also a soul, Parago.

Or Kirsha also that means also you are all also a small particle of Krishna. We are meant to worship and serve Krishna.

And many yogis, they don't know about the supreme being is a person.

But many yogis, they don't know how supreme being is a person.

It's not material. He doesn't have material body. What? He has a spiritual body.

He doesn't have material body, but he has a spiritual body.

We have a material body under the Lord's death, disease, old age, death.

We have a material body which goes under birth, disease, old age and death.

I am not stop to get out of this cycle of birth and rebirth. Vigilant chance to know us.

We so to get out of this cycle of birth and death. Different transcendentalists are trying.

Most of the transcendentalists they are trying to merge in their Schedule.

Most of the transcendentalists they are trying to merge into the Brahma Jyoti.

Are the devaris reject this form of liberation.

But the devotees, they reject this form of liberation.

Demons who are killed by Ka, thank goodness form of liberation.

The demons who are killed by Krishna, they get this form of liberation.

So if someone wants to serve Ka, they know that Ka is transcendental and Brahmadhotya is the radiation from the body. Why will they take such a horrible situation?

So if someone knows that Krishna is a supreme person and this impersonal Brahma Jyoti is the race effulgence of Krishna then why would they want to merge in this impersonal liberation?

And they want to engage in the service for Ka or his conscience.

Or they want to engage in the service of Ka or his expansions.

When we serve Ka, he feels a little heaviness and we feel unlimited stripes of bliss.

So when we serve Krishna, he feels little happiness and we feel unlimited spiritual bliss.

Are always happy.

So the devotees, they are always happy.

I just heard that in Russia that's how we say we are healthy.

So I just heard that in Russian how they say we are happy.

Everybody in Vrindavan they say Radhe Radhe.

Everybody in Vrindavan they say.

Now they are speaking also in Russian.

They don't know that they are also speaking in Russian.

Anyway I want to see. I want to go in front of. Jalana.

So anyways now I need to go up to see. Goar Nithai Radhakrishna Rukmini Satya Bama Jagannath Valdev Subhadra Lakshmi Narasimha.

Mahaprabhu Nithyananda Prabhu Radhakrishna Rukmini Satya Vama Jagannath Baladev Subharta Devi Lakshmi Narasamara Darisikya Pogaren.

So I hope you are all convinced.

So I hope that you all are convinced to serve Krishna.

Go back to the spiritual world.

Go back to the spiritual world. Every place in this material world is a place of death.

We are in the middle planet. We are on earth.

We are in the middle planet, the earth.

So we have the opportunity to engage in Krishna's service and end the cycle of rebirth.

So we have this opportunity to be engaged in Krishna's service and stop this cycle of birth and death. When lord chaitanya visited sri lanka, south india he said jare dako tare koho.

Krishna upadesh amaragya guru hoi tarai deshala krishna.
