His guru of heart is Rand.

He is the guru of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur.

He was very.

He was very renounced. He would sit by the public toilet. And would chant his Japa.

People.

That way he would not be bothered by the materialistic people.

1973 Fab his own.

In 1973 Srila Prabhupada observed his own Vyasa Puja Ayrathi.

Tolayrati Mondial Srila Prabhupada.

In London, London and.

Her Prabhupada said all the gods devotees, thanks be. I'm hungry.

And there Rla Prabhupada said to all the Grihasta devotees that they should be Paramahansas.

Are called.

Normally the Sannyasis. In the most elevated state they are called Paramahansas.

But here Allah was saying one of all his.

But here Srila Prabhupada was telling his Grihasta disciples and followers to be Paramahansas.

This is the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

This is the International Society for Ka Consciousness. Krishna consciousness means is to be conscious of Krishna.

That means Hana's behavior will overcome all the obstacles of the material world.

That means one is able to overcome all the obstacles of the material world.

To advance devotional service is a science.

To advance in devotional service is a science. There are different steps. There are different obstacles.

Normally it's not easy devotional service Normally.

It'S not easy to get devotional service.

Have mercy of Krishna.

By the mercy of Krishna or by his pure devotees, One can get bhakti yoga.

But.

Otherwise this karma yoga, jnana yoga, ashtanga yoga cannot easily come to the bhakti.

Yoga karma yogam jnana yogam ashtanga yogam.

So Krishna came as his glory.

So Krishna came as his devotee.

Krishna Bhaktaraga Vandulla.

Lord Chaitanya as Lord.

Chaitanya, Chaitanya Mahaprabhavhga he was.

Assisted by.

Lord Nagano and he was assisted by Lord Nithyananda.

Upstairs altar.

They are upstairs on the far left altar.

Krishna would only give how those who are really surrendered.

Krishna would give the love of Godhead only to those who are completely surrendered.

Krishna.

But Lord Chaitanya, he is more merciful.

Without considering who is qualified to receive it or not.

But Lord Chaitanya, he would give out the love of Godhead freely without considering who is qualified or who is not.

So how many of the Krishna is social ration?

Love of getting love of Krishna is a spiritual perfection. Normally we know the four things. But Lord Chaitanya taught there is a fifth perfection. Love of krishna.

How many of you like Krishna Prema?

So how many of you would like to have Krishna Prema?

I only see hands.

I only see hands.

See was. Only possible.

You see, it was possible only by the mercy of Lord Chaitanya. Rukmini told Krishna that you know everything. You know what Brahma is doing in Satya Loka. You know what Shiva is doing in Kailash.

You know what is going on in Anant Koti Brahmandam.

But there's one thing you don't know.

But there is one thing you don't know.

I know.

I know. But you don't know.

He was amazed how is that? Because I don't know.

So he was amazed to know that what is that that he doesn't know. So he asked what is that.

Many problems? Don't know how much the Lord is love you.

And Rukmini told him, you don't know how much your devotees love you. And in what way your devotees love you. Because there's no one above you. So Krishna then Krishna said three times that I'll come in Kalyuga as a devotee.

Aligned with Varani and Sandhas.

Therefore he combined with Radharani and assumed this golden form of Goranga. So Lord Chaitanya came only around 500 years ago.

Thy grace AC Vatinja Spaniprabhat delivered message of Lord Chaitanya all over the world.

And his divine grace AC Bhaktivedant Swami Srila Prabhupada he delivered the message of Lord Chaitanya all over the world.

Beginning the regular association of Maharaj.

And you all are very fortunate that you are getting regular association of Bhanu Maharaj.

Sankam kared.

He is a personal disciple of Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Now he gives his siksha freely.

Chaijannah has inspired how the Lord is engaged in Bharatiyah.

Lord Chaitanya has inspired all the devotees to engage in Bhakti Yoga.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Bhaktar.

Do not change their joy.

And Bhakti Yoga is something people can do without changing their situation.

Bhakti Yoga.

We try to please Krishna.

How long. Taste taste no pleasure wrong with them.

So the Bhakti yogis they sense they feel the transcendental pleasure from within.

Our.

So we want all of you to become expert as Bhakti yogis. Pull this activity every activity you do you think how can I please Krishna with this activity?

Having assars.

I see many of the Grihastas are having such nice children.

Have you bring your children up to.

Be the Lord and it's important that you bring up your children to be a devotee. I didn't have a good fortune to be born in a devotee family.

I was a rich man but.

All.

I was a rich man but was not a devotee of Krishna.

I hope was the first time.

You all are devotees of Krishna Krishna.

And someone to be born in your family very great.

And for someone to be born in your family is a very great blessing. Because you can bring them up in devotional service. So this human life is a rare opportunity. Where we can engage in devotional service.

The animal runs this is also available.

The animal propensities which are also available in human life. So we take krishna prasad.

Raise our children.

We raise our children to be Krishna conscious.

Powers. Our no problems of the sort.

But like different departments of the government are trying are inventing new weapons of Destruction. So they are able to kill your body. But remember, you are not the body, you are the spirit soul. Atma.

Atma.

Cannot be killed.

So Atma cannot be killed. Body is killed. Atma is here forever.

Atma Yapurza miracle Kuria.

In different bodies. So we should identify with Atma ourselves as Atma and we want to surrender to Krishna. We are very fortunate now that we have association of Prabhavishnu Prabhu. He is also a direct disciple of Srila Prabhupada.

I don't want to keep you away from.

I don't want to keep you waiting from your Krishna Prasadam. The things we do, we try to do them in a Krishna conscious way.

Is light and this material world, all that other spiritual world.

In this way after being in the material world, we can go back in the spiritual world.

We don't take advantage of this unwanted life that we have to head birth carrying in our cell bodies.

If we don't take advantage of this body in this material life then we have to take birth again and again in this material world.

Sign again and again and again.

In the bumper of a car there was a sign which said Born again and again and again and again. So we think if I have good money, I'll be happy. I have more money, I'll be happy. I have a good spouse, I'll be happy.

What we desire we get.

So depending on whatever we deserve what we desire we get.

A nice deity of Dhairana Asara Dharma.

But if we try to. But if we desire for Krishna like upstairs we see the diorama of Yashoda Damodar. Then we don't need to take birth again and again and again. We can go back to the spiritual world.

Prachadamam, mathura dhamam, dwaraka dhamam.
