Guru Maharaj's message is your advice advantage. The following is a Shri Tai Chanya Shikshamita class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on January 5, 2026 in Sri Ramayapur India.

Hari Om Tatsa Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita by Shla Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur. Today we will continue with the seventh shower Ras Vichar analysis of mallows and the new stream which is the fifth stream, Praya Bhakti Rasa. Previously it was Preeti.

Before we start reading all this about Sakya Rasa before.

We start reading about all this about.

Sakyasa Last night I was listening to the Bhagavad Gita 18th chapter. There you know China Arjuna that what are they called? Sadhgaruna Rajhaluna and.

So I was reading Bhagavad Gita 18th chapter and Krishna was explaining to Arjuna the qualities of Satvguna, Rajoguna and Tamoguna.

As one rise with body, one sense of adoration tries hard to enjoy senses.

So Satvguna one is attached to the body when one wants to enjoy sense.

Gratification, entice one attached to the results all his activities.

One is very attached to the results of his activities.

And he's happy if he achieves his activities and he's sad and he doesn't.

He is happy if he achieves his activities, he's sad if he doesn't. So that's Rajogun.

Example. Say this fits.

As an example you could say what's that?

Gurumaj as an example this description let's Triodon.

Oh, this description fits. What's the last?

This example fits Thurio's own.

This example fits Turio then sorry Guru Maharaj, right?

He wants to win and win and healthy he loses his sad.

If he wins, he's happy, if he loses, he's sad.

Arjuna, he didn't want to fight.

But Arjuna he didn't want to fight.

Because I considerations because of some material.

Consideration Krishna has been preaching to him.

Nature is a warrior, he's a lighter.

But Krishna has been preaching to him that his nature is a warrior.

So follow his nature. Follow his nature.

So follow his nature.

But do the service to please Krishna.

But do the service to please Krishna.

And by that reason he's not a Kshatriya.

So for that reason it's not a Kshatriya, it's a Vaishnava.

And he's not really killing anyone. He's not running through the rangel he's not everything.

He's not killing anyone. Although many people are being killed. Because he's doing it on the order of Krishna.

So in the section of the Lord Krishna, like that, so does Vajras. Wrong us.

So like that Krishna is saying in that section of Bhagavad, Gita, Shudras, Vaishyas, Kshatriyas, Brahmanas, Striyas.

If they're doing their service for Krishna.

If they are doing their service for.

Krishna, they are not that Varna.

They are not that Varna.

Vaishnavis or Vaishnavas.

They are Vaishnavis or Vaishnavas.

I don't know if he would understand what Brother wanted a Dhairavaranashram re established.

So I don't know whether you could understand this or not. But Prabhupada wanted Daivavaranashrama to be established.

And in this way, everyone don't have to leave their occupation.

So in this way, everyone, they don't have to leave their occupation.

They just change their consciousness.

They just have to change your consciousness.

Lord Chaitanya, Therefore Lord Chaitanya tell us all like this, we work for Krishna and we chant Hare Krishna.

So he taught us all like this. We should work for Krishna and chant Hare Krishna.

We follow the rules and regulations.

We follow the rules and regulations.

In this way, all the servers are doing.

In this way, all the service that we are doing is spiritual.

They are working outside according to their nature. They have different jobs.

If you are working outside according to their different natures, they do different jobs.

They just have to change their consciousness.

They just have to change their consciousness that they are working for Krishna. Their boss may be someone they're doing farming or.

Business.

They might be doing farming or business.

But they can do that for Krishna.

But they can do that for Krishna.

I'm going to say.

A man could be a military man or an administrator or a politician. He should offer that to Krishna.

Brahmins, normally they're impersonal.

The Brahmins normally they're impersonal.

Here Brahmins are personal.

But here we have Brahmins who are personal. They want to serve Krishna.

So other than all that.

So all of them will go back to the spiritual world. So we can establish Daivavaranashrama in this way. Hare Krishna Haribo. Can we start Guru Maharaj? Can we start?

Women, they do this agility things that I'm serving Guru and not material.

So women. So women, if they're doing their activities thinking that I'm serving Guru and Krishna, then it is not material, it is spiritual. Okay, now we will continue with the Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita 7th Shower Rasa Vichar Analysis of the Mellows 5th Stream Praya Bhakti Rasa Sakya Rasa. Through appropriate Vibhavas the consciousness is led into Stai Bhav approved by the Sadhus. And when this nourishes Rasa, it is known as Sakya. There is a quotation From Bhaktira Samruta Sindhu 3.3. When the STAI Bhava of Sakyarati is nourished in the devotee's heart by suitable Vibhavas and the other elements, it is known as Preyo Bhakti Rasa Sakirasa Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse. When a devotee is permanently situated in devotional service and by different symptoms of ecstasy, he has developed and matured a fraternal mellow or flavor in relationship with the personality of Godhead. His feeling is called as fraternal love of Godhood.

So there are some devotees who have this personal relationship with Krishna.

So there are some devotees who have this fraternal relationship or friendship with Krishna.

Some of them are same caste as.

Krishna, Some of them are same caste as Krishna. Or some may be Brahmanas, some may be Brahmanas.

All different kinds externally of different varnas.

All different kinds externally of different varanas.

Madhu Mangal, he was a friend of Krishna.

So Madhu Mangal, he was a friend of Krishna. He's a Brahmana, but he's a Brahmana.

So there are different pastimes of different bodies which was nice.

So there are different pastimes with different devotees with Krishna's friends. So actually, especially during the Pavganda age, the friendship with Krishna is very pronounced. And.

So Dasha becomes Sakya Dasya, then.

Comes Sakya Friendship, Friendship.

And.

So in Dwarka they have different friends like Arjuna, Sahadev and Uddava.

Vrindavan.

But in Vrindavan there are various friends of Krishna. So many. Okay, the Lord and his friends. This is another quotation from Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu. The Lord and his friends of the same age are Alambanas of this Rasa Prabhupada the impetus for such fraternal love of Godhead is God Himself. When one is liberated and discovers his eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord, the Lord himself becomes the impetus for increasing fraternal love.

Huh? Not very long.

Oh, can you hear me? Okay, I'll read again sir. Sorry. Guru Maharaj, the impetus for such the.

Alambanas and the Almanass are increasing ones love of Horsa.

So the Alambana that means the impetus for increasing one's love for Krishna in fraternal Rasa Sakya Rasa.

So that Krishna himself is the impetus.

That Krishna himself is the impetus.

So we have some eternal relationship.

So we have an internal relationship Stai Bhava, a fixed relationship with Krishna. So some may be attracted by serving the Lord. Some may be attracted by being the friend of the Lord.

Relationship of friendship.

So today we are discussing the relationship of friendship.

It's not like it totally depends on your present gender.

It doesn't depend on your present gender.

You may have a family.

So you may have a female body. You can be a male friend of Krishna.

Male loving girl right now.

So male can have a female body. A female can have a male body and be a girlfriend of Krishna.

A male may have a female body.

A male may have a female body and be a girlfriend of Krishna.

So. Lord in the end.

Okay. The Lord, the Lord Vishaya Alambana as described previously in preeti bhakti rasa I.e. dasirasa, the Lord as the Alambana of Prayo Bhaktirasa possesses two armed or four armed forms. The qualities of the Lord in prayer. Bhaktirasa that is Sakirasa. Attractively dressed, possessing all auspicious signs, the strongest, knowing many languages, eloquent, fully knowledgeable in all branches of learning, quick witted, skillful, merciful, most courageous, learned in the arts, intelligent, tolerant, attractive to all people, prosperous, joyful and the most important, prominent among all persons. Srila Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse. Sometimes Krishna's different names, forms, paraphernalia and transcendental qualities provoke fraternal love. For instance, Krishna's nice dress, his strongly built body, the all auspicious symptoms on his body, his knowledge of different languages, his learned teaching in the Bhagavad Gita, his uncommon genius in all fields of endeavor, his exhibition of expert knowledge, his mercy, his chivalry, his his behavior as a conjugal lover, his intelligence, his forgiveness, his attraction for all kinds of men, his opulence and his happiness all provoke fraternal love.

So these are the various Buddhists who.

Are so these are the various impetus for friendship fraternal love for fraternal love.

And sometimes wrestle and the fraternal starts with his friends.

So like in Vrindavan, sometimes he would wrestle and do different kinds of sports.

With his friends and on one occasion the demons almost took the form of a child and Krishna's friends.

So one time a demon called Pralambasur took a form of a child and played with Krishna as his friend But.

Krishna could understand that he was a.

Demon But Krishna could understand that he was a demon.

So then Sawyer ended up wrestling with alarm.

So he ended up wrestling with Balaram and Balaram defeated him.

Was a loser he would have to carry the other.

On his back so who was a loser they have to carry the others on the back.

So like this then rolled around, realized that he was a demon and he.

Punched him Balaram realized that he was a demon and then he punched him.

And then later he died.

And then he died.

This shows the kind of activity activities of the.

His friends Ashraya, Alambana those whose form, qualities and dress are similar to Krishna's, who are completely unrestricted and who are full of deep trust and familiarity Reshramba in relation to the Lord are known as vaya syas or friends. Rla Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu the impetus to fraternal love upon seeing the associates of Krishna and Vrindavan is also very natural for their personal bodily features, their qualities and their dress are all equal to Krishna's. These associates are always happy in their service to Ka and they are generally known as vyasyas or friends of the same age. The vyasyas are fully confident of protection by Krishna. There are two types of friends those in the city and those in Braj. Such eternal vyasyas are found also beyond the jurisdiction of Vrindavan in places such as Dwaraka and Hastinapur.

I saw your friends of similar age may not really associate with so the.

One category of friend they are similar age of and they associate with Krishna.

They also.

They also have similar quality, similar dress they also have similar dress.

So they're naturally very much connected to Krishna.

They're naturally very much connected to Ka.

Some are in Raja, some are in.

The cities, some are in Braja, some are in the cities. Another quotation from Bhakti, Rasamitha, Sindhu, Arjuna, Bhimasena, Draupadi and Sridham Brahmana are some of Krishna's friends in cities except for Vrindavan, all the places of Krishna's pastimes are called Puras. Mathura and Hastinapura, the capital of the Kurus are both Puras. Personalities like Arjuna, Bhima, Draupadi and Rhama Brahmana are counted among Krishna's fraternal devotees in the Puras.

I understand here how Jodily already seems considerably connected with Krishna Run.

So here it's quite interesting how Draupadi, even though she's considered for being a lady she is considered as Krishna's friends counted as Krishna's friend.

Established as the emperor of the world.

How after the Rajeshwara sacrifice, Yudhishthir was established as the emperor of the world.

On the Pandavas and holiday having a special war council.

So the Pandavas and Draupadi, they were having a special war council. What were they discussing?

The heart, the traditional. Let us go back to Dharga. How are we getting back? So what can we do?

So now Krishna has left us, he has gone to Vrindavan. What should we do? It's very important.

We have defeated all our enemies and Krishna went back. So we have defeated, revived Krishna's association.

So we have defeated all our enemies. Krishna went back. We are bereft of Krishna's association Now.

How many here are bereft of Krishna's association?

So how many here are bereft of Krishna's association?

That's it. As our Lord Jajanna was changing us how we can serve Krishna in separation?

See, that's why Lord Chaitanya was teaching us that we can serve Krishna in separation.

And that's one thing that we have a lot of.

So that's one thing that we have learned Separation.

Why not just one small thing? Like.

One small thing In Chaitanya Charitamrita he was having one day he was having prasadam of Lord Jagannath Of Lord Jagannath.

He said this Zara, it's prepared from ordinary ingredients.

It was prepared from ordinary ingredients.

But we all have tried those ingredients. Rice, wheat, different types of condiments like laravel, ginger, other things.

So they had to find these ordinary ingredients like rice, wheat and condiments like ginger, bell pepper and black pepper. And what was the last thing?

Taste.

But why this has a special taste?

I don't know. The nectar of Krishna's lips.

They said that it's nectar of Krishna's lips. So somebody came to Mayapur, said that I am from a rich family, we can prepack a tree.

It doesn't have the same taste.

But doesn't have the sundish.

Same taste.

Oh, sorry. Doesn't have the same taste.

What is this? Sorry, Guru Maharaj, they are thinking of sandas Sandras.

Voila.

Don't like Rasa a lot. She said even though I put all the same ingredients, don't have the same taste.

What's the gurmat?

Even if I put all the same ingredients, don't have the same taste.

Even if I put all the ingredients, it doesn't have the same taste.

Why is that?

Why is that?

So Lord Caitanya was standing as an actor of Krishna's lips.

So Lord Caitanya was explaining this is the nectar of Krishna's lips. So then suddenly he got up and then started quoting different verses from the Bhagavatam about the lips of Krishna.

But. Thinking about Krishna is an impetus for different kinds of love.

So thinking about Krishna is an impetus for different kinds of love. Okay. Among the city friends, venerable Arjuna who has Hanuman on his banner is the best Prabhupada. Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhaktira Samata Sindhu. Of the five friends, Arjuna is the most of the five Pandavas, Arjuna is the most intimately connected with Krishna.

So we continue to discuss fraternal love friendship with Krishna, Sakya Rasa.

So we'll continue to discuss about fraternal relationship with Krishna the Sakyasa.

When one achieves the duration, then what is style Dhala with Krishna will be revealed.

When one achieves liberation, what is the Astai Bhava with Krishna will be revealed. So some may be friends, some may be servants, some may be parents, some may be in conjugal love.

Now we're discussing friends.

So now we are discussing about friends.

How we discuss our friends in the Puras. Next thing, all this us friends in Rajah.

So now we have discussed about the friends in Purus. The next thing we would discuss about friends in Vrindavaja. Hi, Roald Haribol. Yes, I have already a question. I already have a question. No, I have a question. Guru Mahaj, one question.

Is there one? Only one from Facebook Live.

Yeah, let me read. Where's my phone? So Guru Maharaj, the question is many people do not work in harmony with their nature but merely for financial reasons. Should a devotee look for work aligned with their nature and carry it out as his service to Krishna or tolerate a job they dislike out of sense of duty? By Vajavasi Das.

What is your Nature.

See what's your nature.

Maybe, I don't know. Let's see what jobs or what activities are kind of that nature.

So see what's your nature. So what kind of job and what activities according to your nature and others.

You can grind an appointment according to your nature.

Then you can find an appointment according to your nature.

I got. I had some disciple who was a businessman.

I had some disciple who was a businessman.

He wanted to get out everything and be a fish truck.

They wanted to give up everything, be a preacher. And be a preacher.

His danger was vaisha like business.

But his nature was like a Vaishya to do business.

So I told him that he could do business for Krishna.

So I told him that he could do a business for his business for Krishna.

He was causing structural oasis.

So now it's developing a spiritual oasis.

So. If you find it, I don't know what your nature is.

I don't know what your nature is.

And if there's a child not respect what sargamaj? If it's a job in that respect.

If it's a job without any. So if his nature like is Kshatriya.

Like, why not join the armed forces?

He could join the armed forces.

That's what is your nature. Maybe if there's no unemployment. You have to do what is necessary.

So depends on your nature. What was the last part? Gurmaj?

You have to do what is necessary to maintain your body and soul.

So you have to do what is necessary to maintain your body and soul.

And we should think that what we're doing is.

So we should think what we are doing. We should do, should be doing it for Krishna.

But accident was a nature. And if there's employment like that, or there's climate activity like that, and that's ideal.

So you should find out what is your nature. Yes. And if you are involved in activities like that, then that is ideal.

Arjuna was a warrior, a general, a prince.

Arjuna was a warrior, a general, a prince.

He wanted to beyond a bigger.

So he wanted to become a beggar, a kind of sadhu, kind of monk.

Krishna said it's better to follow your own nature with some defect than follow someone else's nature, even though it's perfect.

So Krishna told him, it's better to follow your nature even though it has some defects, than following someone else's nature that is perfect.

Shouldn'T have probably cut your jaw and. Third of that war thing in nature. And that's all right.

So you shouldn't quit your job if you fight the war. What was the last part?

The Hama Isaac. That's more suited to your nature.

If you find an occupation that's more suited to your nature, that's ideal. That's ideal. Last night I was inspired by the Devi Varnashram thing. I couldn't sleep, so. I'm a little bit tired. I think I got the realization. But I don't know whether I was able to communicate that properly or not. We always heard that Srila Prabhupada wanted to establish Varnasham in his keep the mic next to Guru Maharaj.

But actually it's not that people are Sudhras, Vaishnavas that they do all the service for Krishna, Rajtanas, Rajnathis.

So people, when they are those who are Vaishyas, Shudras, Kshatriya and Brahmanas, if they are doing it as service to Krishna, then they are Vaishnavas and Vaishnavis. But if you are Ashuda, maybe in the next birth you can become a Vaishya or something.

If you are doing a service for Krishna.

But if you are doing a service for Krishna, you go back to Godhead. Haribo.

Well, thank you very much, Haribo.

Thank you very much. Blessings krishna matirastu.
