Hi Krishna Dear devotees, today we'll continue with our reading from Sri Chaitanya Shiksha Amrita Barshila Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur Dasya Rasha hello.

We're continuing with Dasa Rasa.

So we will be continuing with Dasiya Sakya Vatsali and then Madhuriya Dasi Rasa is the foundation.

We want to serve Lord Krishna so.

Dasya Rasa is the foundation or we want to serve Lord Krishna.

And his.

Ancestor and we want to serve Krishna and his expansions.

So I don't know who you are.

Roshtaru so I don't know whom you are Focused on Ram Some people are focused on Ram Most of the devotees.

Are roast on Krishna Most of the.

Devotees are on the what? What's the focus on Krishna?

Some like Narasingadeva Some like Narasingadeva like the different.

Desires so like that different desires.

Now these are spiritual desires so these.

Are spiritual desires and material desires.

The Kaltael and Krishna Cyrus material desires.

There could be money but those should be dove tilt in Krishna's service.

The whole point here is that rasas harness serves the world so we'll finish this.

But the point here is that different rasas are there in the spiritual world.

We here at the spiritual world in.

Love we hear that the spiritual world is love.

What is that?

But what is that?

So this love comes in different rasas.

This love comes in different rasas and.

Staivaras and rasism change.

There are primary Stai Bhavas and there are rasas which are changed.

So the science of Ka consciousness is that we, I mean we actually understand what the different types of rasas are loved is for Krishna.

So the science of Ka consciousness is actually that we understand what are the different rasas and love is.

It's not just kind of a nebulous thing.

It's not just kind of a frivolous thing, a nebulous. A nebulous thing and.

One thing leads to the next.

It's one thing leads to the next.

So what is this speciality? What is the Stai Bhava relationship which.

Is not so what is the speciality what is the Stai bhava that is related to Krishna?

Salt or the Stasi Rasa is a Stai Bhava.

So Dasya Rasa is a Stai Bhava.

But then there are many transient emotions.

And then there are many transcendental emotions. Transient emotions.

Sorry. Come join once fixed start over the fixed emotion. Fixed relationship.

So thai Bhava is fixed relationship.

And there are many things that come temporarily in the version of the devotee.

So many things which comes temporarily in the relation of the devotee.

So the next.

Wow. When Sambh. Okay, reading from Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu February March 3.2.81 and 87. When Sambramapriti becomes firmly fixed with no question that it will decrease, it is called Prema. Its Anubhavas are such things as complete attachment to the Lord. The same sneha when it turns even suffering into happiness, even by a slight appearance of Krishna is called Raga. In this state of raga, the devotee will show his love for Krishna even if entails giving up his life. Ragatmi Kabbalah. Okay. Ragat Mika Bhakti. If a Sadhaka practitioner develops greed Lobha, then they attain the qualification for those rasas during the stage of sadhana practice. Whatever rasa they develop greed for at the time of perfection Siddhi, they attain eternal residence in that rasa. Bhakti related to Rasa is called Ragatmika Bhakti. If a Sadhaka practitioner develops greed Lobha Lobha. Then they attain qualification for those rasas during the stage of sadhana practice. Whatever rasa they develop greed for at the time of perfection Siddhi, they attain eternal residence in that rasa. Bhakti related to Rasa is called Ragatmika Bhakti.

If you are attracted to some aspect of Ka service.

So if you are attracted to some aspect of Ka service.

And you love a greed, a desire, a strong desire.

And you develop greed, a desire, a.

Strong desire and you would like to experience that.

Aspect and you would like to experience that aspect.

Then at that time that is the qualification.

And that is the qualification.

Not that it just mechanically doing her 16 rounds and I'm a regular pencil.

It's not that mechanically you are doing your 16 round and following the regulatory.

Principles you actually desire. Oh, I really want this to understand Krishna Prema to understand this aspect of.

Ka you really desire. I actually want Krishna Prema actually want to understand this aspect of Krishna and.

Say there's a particular Rasa that attracts you to a particular Pastime.

Say that a particular rasa that attracts you to a particular pastime.

He's telling you what are the different pastimes that are stands for with Krishna, with avatars.

He's showing you what are the different pastimes that exchanged with Krishna or his different avatars.

So if you just listen, that's also useful.

If you just listen, that's also useful.

But when you actually start to develop a desire or greed, when actually start.

To when you actually start I want.

This, I want chalice song, appreciate this.

Aspect so you actually develop a desire greed that I want to also appreciate.

This aspect then becomes ragatmika bhakti.

Then it becomes ragatmika bhakti.

Vidhi marg.

Before that it's just vidhi marg.

When you actually start to desire to serve Krishna in a particular way, when.

Actually you start to desire to serve Krishna in a particular way, appreciate Krishna in a particular way, or appreciate Krishna in a particular way that reaches a higher bloodline. That reaches a higher blood.

People desire all our house. I want a house, I want this, I want that. So you see people, those things are material.

So you see people desire I want a house, I want a spouse. You see, those things are material.

They can dovetail that. You can say I want a Ka conscious spouse.

You can dovetail that. You can say that I want a Krishna conscious spouse.

I want a house I can use to reach Krishna Kanthas Rama.

So I want a house in which I can preach Krishna consciousness from devotees.

I was in the Middle east earn a lot of money.

So one of our devotees in Middle east earning a lot of money, he.

Went back to India.

He went back to India, built a house. Built a house.

And instead of a garage, he had a preaching.

Instead of a garage he had a preaching Namhatta or something.

So he wanted a house which they used to preach for shahat.

He wanted a house which would be used to preach Ka consciousness.

So he said everything material. We said dovetail that service.

Everything material. We should dovetail that in Krishna's service.

But only has to start to desire something directly in relation to Krishna.

When we actually start to desire something in relation directly to Ka, Then it becomes higher level. It becomes ragatmika bhakti.

Wow.

Raga Nuga Sadhaka. The presence of Raga Nuga bhakti in the limp of practice, the limb of practice Sadhana Anga is the imitation of Ragaat Mika Bhakti, a Raganuga devotee follows the character and conduct of perfected Prabhu that's disturbing. Stop doing that. Perfected devotees, Siddha, situated in rasa, the rasa that the rasa that is the life of the devotee and feels delightful to them is what they should imitate upon attaining perfection. Siddhi, they will achieve that way of life permanently.

The thing that we was a very nice instruction actually.

These are very nice instructions actually.

As we develop are particular. As at limbal practice.

If you develop a particular aspect or.

Limp of bhakti and we start to imitate that.

If we start to imitate that Raganuga bhakti, that's Ragnuga bhakti.

This will eventually lead us to siddhi, to perfection.

This would eventually lead us to siddhi perfection.

Now.

Pragita, Pragita Sahajiyas, they imitate in the wrong way.

But the Prakritiya Sahajyas, they would imitate in a wrong way.

Like saki Luckies.

Like saki bakers.

They're men. They are men who dress like women.

Who dress like women.

Our saris, bangles, wear sari spangles. And I met one Saki Saki one time.

I met one Saki Bakey one time.

And I looked at her, she looked like a woman.

I looked at her from back, she looks like a woman.

But when she turned to me, when.

She turned to me, he had a beard. He had a beard.

So. Not that we imitate the external trappings of Sam Rasa.

It's not that we imitate some external trapping of Sam Rasa.

He that's the.

The Prakrita Sahajyas would do that.

Mentally, we like to say we're attracted by someone Sakyaras or some particular activity within Krishna.

So mentally let's say that someone is attracted by Sakya Rasa. A particular activity with Lord Krishna.

So we imitate Kara.

We imitate that.

And we think about that, we meditate. We have agreed with that.

We think about that, we meditate. We have greed for that.

And obviously we achieve perfection from that desire.

So eventually we'll achieve perfection because of that desire.

How we say the priorities. They say you should be desireless.

You see, the Mayavadis, they say that you should be desireless.

We're saying you should desire.

We are saying you should desire.

But you should desire Krishna.

But you should desire Krishna.

Serve Krishna.

You should serve Krishna.

Not to enjoy Krishna, but to give him pleasure.

Not to enjoy Krishna, but to give him pleasure. Guru Maharaj, it's 8:30 now. Okay, Gava Preeti, let's finish this rasha. Okay. Sugar match. As you wish. Sambrama Preeti. Affectionate with eagerness.

Wow. Eagerness. Yes, affection with eagerness.

Yeah, affection. Okay, okay. Extends up to this point. Consideration of someone as a superior through bodily related honor is called Gauravar Respect or reverence. Deep affectionate love of those who identify themselves as the objects of Krishna's loving care. Lalya Preeti is called Gaurava Preeti. Affectionate with reverence. This has been discussed in the book Bhaktira Samrita Sindhu. I have not elaborated much on this topic.

Now Bhakti Ra Samrita Sindhu is translated for us a Nectar of devotion.

So Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu is translated for us as Nectar of Devotion.

Maybe in Bengali as in other languages they give the title as Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu.

Maybe in Bengali or some other language they have given the direct name Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu.

English is called Nectar of Devotion.

But in English it's called Nectar of devotion.

Salt. Someone was asking me when will we start to read the Acharya's books?

Someone was asking me when would we start reading the Acharya's book?

Nectar of Devotion. Nectar of Instruction. They are in the Bhakti Shastri course.

Nectar of devotion and Nectar of Instruction. They are in the Bhakti Shastri course.

Salt. Not that these were translated by Srila Prabhupada.

These are translated and given to us by Srila Prabhupada.

And Prabhupada's hollers gave us also the Bharatiya Bhakti. What's it called? Bharati Brihad Bhagavadamrita.

Prabhupada's followers also gave us the Brihad Bhagavatamrita of Sanatana Goswami. So.

Here onto Elizabeth. We're already studying some of the translations of the Raiders Cryas.

So in this way we are already studying some of the translations of the previous cryas.

And apart from that and Ashram Achana Ja. Some of the perverts include comments from previous Acharyas.

Apart from that in the Rimad Bhagavatam and Sri Caitanya Charitamrita. Some of the purports includes the commentaries from the previous cryas. Bhakti siddhanta, Vishwana Chakravarti Thakuras and many other previous Acharyas.

So I think that all night Parashram males they died much earlier. So when I survived the stall, it's all who shows mercy.

So all my Purusham Friends have died earlier. I have survived by Lord Krishna's mercy.

So I consider myself the object of Krishna's loving care.

So I consider myself as an object of Krishna's loving care.

But it says here that Yoga Preeti vexing it with reverence.

Here it says that Gaurava Preeti affection with reverence.

He's saying that he devotion and that he didn't allow very much on his tablet.

So he is saying that he read the nectar of devotion and he has not elaborated much on this topic. The characteristics of reverential love, Gauravpreti are seen in the second wave of the western division of Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu.

I keep track of that.

If you can keep track of that.

Second wave of the Vastan division, Keep.

Track of the second wave of the western division. Guru Maharaj.

That's it.

That's it. Yeah.

Any questions?

Any question?

These few days we didn't have any meetings.

For the past few days we didn't have any meetings.

But today although I didn't have a meeting, I stayed longer.

So today because we didn't have any meeting, I would speak longer and I.

Don'T know why but. And last night my blood pressure was very low at night.

So last night my blood pressure went.

Very low and they had to wake me up three times they had to.

Wake me up three times and tell.

Me that I take medicine and salt.

Water and told me that I have to take medicine in salt water and.

Keep my blood pressure up.

To keep my blood pressure up.

I don't know if they don't tell me how medicine blood pressure at night.

So what was that?

I don't know. They didn't tell me they had any medicine.

Uh huh. Oh. They have not told me if there is any medicine to lift my blood.

Pressure up at night.

At night.

So they're giving me some medicine to raise my blood pressure.

So they're giving me some medicine to raise my blood pressure.

Then I start that during the day my blood pressure would rise. Then you say hi.

And then if I stop that during my day my blood pressure would rise dangerously high.

So nighttime low, dangerously low. Daytime go high.

Nighttime it goes slow. Daytime go high.

In my situation.

So this is my gurmai. There is a question.

Hang on.

Looks like a good question as well. If the Holy name is already fully powerful and accessible to everyone, why do I need a guru to formally give it to me in an initiation ceremony? If we can receive all necessary instructions through siksha, why is hyena initiation considered recommended? In our line, is its function is merely formalistic? Or does the act of initiation itself transmit a special spiritual potency required for perfection?

You see, our first initiation is not only harinam.

You see, our first initiation is not only harinam.

The Brsajaya, Aztecs, Second Asia, Purushascharya, aspects of initiation are divided in the first and second initiation.

The purusharya section are divided between the first and second initiation.

And.

But.

Even then, the grand devotees, like anodium, rush with the other harinam and diksha. They consider that taking the harinam for the world is more effective.

The people of gaudiya mats, some of the gaudiya mats, they consider that taking the Hari nam is more important, more effective from a guru, and.

That one also follows a particular guru. And we should also take shagha initiation.

If one should also follow a particular guru, then we should also take the second initiation.

Now, in the Hari noun, you get the hari naan and the beats.

In the Harinam, you get the harinam and the beats.

But in the first initiation of Ishtar, we get the harinam beads, vows. We take also the higher yoga, get a hole, get a stir.

In the first initiation of Iskcon, we get the harinam, we get the beads, we take the vows, we get the yajna. We also get a spiritual name, neckbeats.

They don't do those things when they just give Hari Naam.

They don't do those things when they just give the harinam.

No. So I don't say harinam. I say personalization and second initiation.

That's why we say first initiation and second initiation.

Now, people that take second initiation, they should be qualified.

People that take second initiation, they should be qualified.

They should know the philosophy.

They should know the philosophy.

And so then Prabhupada was saying they should have Bhakti Shastri.

Prabhupada saying that they should have Bhakti Shastri. Now.

At a certain date I started inserting that this Bhakti Sastri was needed.

What's the agreement?

At a certain date, at certain date, I started requiring Bhakti Sastry for second initiation.

I started requiring Bhakti Shastri for second initiation.

So some may have the second initiation without Bhakti Shastri.

So some may have second initiation without Bhakti Shastri.

If they took if they took before.

Before.

But they should also get the Bhakti Shastri.

But they should also get the Bhakti Shastri.

Well, I like all lines of cycles to complete Their Purushcharya Vidhi by taking the saga nutrition.

I would like all my disciples to complete the Purusharya Vidhi by taking the second initiation.

And so maybe if someone's chanting and how it's done, it's hardened by all the scriptures that we should take a guru.

It's recommended by all the scriptures that we should take a guru.

If they're in the process of taking.

A guru, if they're in the process of taking a guru and they leave their body, and they leave the body.

Maybe by chanting that's enough.

Maybe by chanting that's enough.

But they want endless hateful to stencil like that, some negative aspect. So if someone is I don't need a guru.

If one is envious, distasteful, distinctful from the gurus, oh, oh, I don't need a guru.

Then that's offensive.

Then that's offensive.

And that Sadhra, Upanishads, Upanishads everywhere says we should have a guru.

Therefore, in the Svetas wear Upanishads and different Upanishads everywhere, it is said that we need a guru.

And having a faith in guru and Krishna is progression of life.

Having faith in guru and Krishna is the perfection of life.

All the secrets of the Vedic literature.

Are revealed all the secrets of the Vedic literature are revealed.

Among the bodies, they can't understand the glories of Krishna.

The non devotees, they can't understand the glories of Ka.

Unless we're a devotee, these things are not revealed to us.

Unless we are a devotee, these things are not revealed to us.

And you see that some non devotees, they say, I don't understand your shastra.

You see that there are some non devotees, they say that I don't understand your shastra.

I don't know how many how many reside in Mayapur.

I don't know how many resides in Mayapur.

How many are not residing how many.

Are not residing in Mayapur? How many reside in Mayapur and not reside? No reside in Mayapur. Okay, and then how many are not residing here in Mayapur? Just visiting Mayapur.

Okay, so we're starting to learn the type of online preaching someday in the future.

So we are trying to have different types of online preaching sometime in the future.

Since Maya versus the world headquarters, Since.

Mayapur is the world headquarters, we not.

Only like to preach we not only.

Like to preach in Indian language. In Indian language, but also in different foreign languages. Also in different foreign languages.

Online we can do that.

But now in online we can do that. Russian, Chinese, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Spanish, French, French, etc.

So also in India, all the different.

Languages Also in India, in all the different languages.

We would like the Lord is volunteer to do this kind of preaching.

So we would like to have the devotees volunteer to do this kind of different preachings. Preaching. Sorry.

Apply to my office.

Maybe you can apply through my office.

Say that I'm a widow or to me that you're willing to do this type of preaching.

So you can say to me that you're willing to do this type of preaching.

Now in this time, Mangalore, he says he has 400 devotees all over India and preachers in the Indian languages.

Namanishta. In Mangalore, he says that he has 400 devotees around India who are preaching in different languages.

But we have 7,500 residents in Mayapur. How many of them are willing to preach? 400.

So we have 7,500 residents here in Mayapur. How many are willing to preach? 400.

So anyway, he says that in one year he has like 70,000 people or something like that.

He says that in one year he gets around like 70,000 people or something.

How many books is that?

How many books have you distributed in one year?

If we have online preaching, 100,000.

How many books we have online preaching? Hundred thousand. How many books? Maharaj says he has to count and let you know. Guru Maharaj.

100,000 Bhagavad Gitas.

Hundred thousand Bhagavad Gitas. More than that. More than that.

That's all. That's how we want to do this.

So we want to do this and.

Ali and all the Indian language. And also the foreign language, Bengali and.

All the other Indian languages. And also the foreign languages.

My problem is that I can't think small.

My problem is that I can't think small. I think big.

I heard that from Prabhupada.

I got that from Srila Prabhupada.

Best wishes and blessings.

I offer all my best wishes and blessings.
