Guru Maharaj's message is your advice Advantage the following is a morning class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on January 10, 2026 in Sridhar Mayapur, India. The class begins with a reading from the Srimad Bhagavatam 3rd Canto chapter 23, verse 30 and 31.

Reading From Srimad Bhagavatam 3rd canto 23rd chapter, verse number 30 and 31. Then in a mirror she beheld her own reflection. Her body was completely free from all dirt and she was adorned with a garland. Dressed in unsullied robes and decorated with auspicious marks of tilakka, she was served very respectfully by the maids. Verse number 31 Snatam Kritta Shirasnam Snatam Kritta Shirasnom Sarva Barana BH. Translation her entire body, including her hat, was completely bathed and she was decorated all over with ornaments. She wore a special necklace with a locket. There were bangles on her wrists and tinkling anklets of gold about her anklets Ankles. Sorry. Translation in Purport by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada where's the translation? Purport by Srila Prabhupada the word Krita Shiras Nanam appears here. According to Smriti Shastra's directions, for daily duties, ladies are allowed to bath up to the neck. The hair on the head does not necessarily have to be washed daily because of the mass of wet hair may cause cold for ladies. Therefore, taking bath up to the neck is ordinarily prescribed and they take full bath only on certain occasions. On this occasion Devahuti took a full bath and washed her hair very nicely. When a lady takes an ordinary bath is called malasana and when she takes a full bath including the head, it is called sirasnaan. At this time she needs sufficient oil to smear on her head. That is the direction of the commentators of Smriti Shastra.

Srimad Bhagavata. Number. Slok. Akon mastaksha purnas nankaran shetika balahai shirasnan takon tar mathai. Upadesh dh.

So.

The intensive treatment I started so.

The intensive treatment has started.

For that reason doctors say I should, as hard as possible, stay in line of. What's it called?

Isolation.

Isolation.

So for that reason the doctors have advised me to stay in a kind of isolation.

Therefore I am also taking Darshan through the Mayapur tv.

And so. I'll be giving class in the evening also.

And I'll be giving class in the evening also.

If I get better then. So the system has been made that from now on I will also be giving Bengali classes at night.

We are reading about Karamuni and Devahoti.

Anyway, we are reading about Kartha Muni and Devahuti.

Devahuti is the daughter of Saiyamunawalu.

Devahuti is a daughter of Swayambhuva Manu.

His reign, I don't know. His life. All his reign is 71 Chaturyugas.

His reign, his life. I don't know. Maybe for 71 Chatury Yugas.

I don't know. His life. He dies at the end. I don't know. But he's a mono for 71 Chhattaryugas.

I don't know. He dies at the end of the 71 Chhatta Yugas. But he's Manu for 71 Chatury Yugas.

4,004,320,000 years. What's that?

4,320,000 years.

So.

He reigns for 71 times 4,320,000 years. And this is his lifespan at least. Or it is his time of rune.

And how his daughter would have the same lifestyle now.

His daughter would have the same lifespan.

So anyway, she was under the care of her brother.

Anyway, she was under the care of.

Her father Jaihawk Tinitar Peter Laloni. And then she got her husband as Kardama Muni. And later on she received her son who was Lord Kapila himself.

Giving her a son, he lost her sannyas.

So Kartha Muni, after giving her the son, he left and took Sannyas.

We'll read about that later.

We will read about that later.

That's both. She served her husband so well, so humbly.

It's important. She served her husband so well, so humbly.

Her body was dirty. Her hair was matted. Different problems.

So her body was dirty. Her hair was mad at. And then there were different problems.

This is how all these things were rectified by the maids in Bindu Sarovar.

So all the things were rectified by the maids in the Bindu Sarovar.

And.

Prabhupada was saying that Devahoti could be the example how a disciple should serve his spiritual master or her spiritual master.

I saw. She saw the great dedication. And Bingri has a certain Asuri.

So she showed great dedication. And being a Grayisha, they had some facility to enjoy the material world. And they were doing kind of Garbadan Samskara to have children. Stop.

Like this, Kyle only wanted to take the renounced order. But before he thought a wise to experience Yasser life.

So like this, Kartha Muni wanted to take sannyas but before he took a wife to experience the material world.

Wise before he thought it was wise to take wife.

That's one thing we can learn from this.

So that's one thing we can learn from this.

One thing is in the Bhagavad Gita 9:32 it states that women Vaisha Sutras, if they take surrender, if they surrender to him, they can reach the supreme destination.

9:32 the Bhagavad Gita Krishna says women Vaishya Shudra, if they surrender to him, they can reach the spiritual world.

Trying to figure out how to do that.

And I'm trying to figure out how to do that.

And then I found this in the 18th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita Krishna.

Continental oven.

Krishna says that I am telling you the most confidential knowledge how you can get self realization.

Krishna is saying that the One does their duty whatever their nature is, and as an offering to him.

So Krishna says one does their duty whatever their nature is, as an offering to him.

Krishna Balayan J.

For instance, Arjuna fought in the war.

But he was having the nature of Chatriya. But he wasn't fighting for the Satya reason.

He was having the nature of a Kshatriya, but he wasn't fighting for a Kshatriya reason.

She fought for Krishna.

He fought for Krishna. Durya then was a Kshatriya.

He wanted Kshatriya works in the mode of passion.

It says Kshatriya works in the mode of passion.

He is very attached horse, dragon, enthusiasm. He's attached root of his.

He's very attached. He's very enthusiastic for the fruit of his work.

And therefore if he would be victorious, he would be happy. And if he would be defeated, then he would be very, very upset or sad. And the mode of passion is that one will become very charitable.

So when Kush said the war was going on, then. Toyodong went to peaceful day, said, you're not planning their whole course.

So when the Kurukshetra war was going on, Duryodhana went to Bhishma Dev and told him, you are not fighting with your full horse force.

He put down five arrows. He said, these will kill five Pandavas.

And Then he said okay, he put down five arrows and he said that this will kill the five Pandavas.

And Mandras and everything. But these arrows were meant to kill.

The Pandavas so heed a special Puja, mantras and everything. And these five arrows would kill the Pandavas.

I'll keep these arrows.

And then Duryodhan thought I'll keep these.

Arrows and this way I'll. Because I'll ensure that I use tomorrow.

Right visually in this way I'll ensure that this will be used tomorrow by Bhishma Dev.

Then. But Krishna advised Arjuna that you go to Duryodhana and you ask him, you beg him for the five errors that he has gone. When Duryodhana had a fight with the Gandharva Chitratha at that time Arjuna had come to his rescue and saved him.

You can ask anything for me.

How you do so Duryodhan said, you can ask anything from me. I will give you. So Arjuna went and asked Duryodhana for the five arrows.

How do you know? Duryodhana said Krishna told me Saul going.

On, he gave the arrows to Arjuna.

So Duryodhan, he gave the arrows to Arjuna.

Duryodhan, he was Chatriya.

Duryodhan, he was a Kshatriya.

He was a Vaishnav.

But Arjuna, he was a Vaishnav.

Now this idea of Daira Rajav is kind of rather than an idea.

So this idea of Deva Varunashram is a kind of a revolutionary idea.

Someone may be working for a salary so they're considered a Sudra or soldier, farmer or businessman. They can serve a white shop.

Someone might be working for salary. They might be considered as a Shudra. Someone might be working as a farmer. They might be considered as a Vaishya farmer or businessman. They might be considered as a Vaishya.

Someone may be a lady handling this cooking and serving her husband.

And someone may be a lady and doing this cooking and serving her husband.

But if they're doing all this as Saradoguru and Krishna then they don't have to change their job. Krishna said that old doctrine Godhead.

But they are doing it as service to Krishna, Guru and Krishna then they don't have to change their job. Krishna says that they go back to Godhead.

Now we're in the Kalyuga. So ladies are in the military. Some are judges, some are politicians.

So now we are in Kali Yuga. Some of the ladies are in the military, some are judges, some are lawyers, Politician Some are politician.

If they do that for Krishna, then they are Vaishnavas. Vaishnavas.

If they do that for Krishna, then they are Vaishnavas. Vaishnavis.

Not only see this Devahoodi, although she was a lady, she ultimately went back to Godhead.

Now we see here Devavi, even though she was a lady, she went back to Godhead.

She was so fortunate that she got a son who was an incarnation of Vishnu.

I mean, devotee was really something special.

So, I mean, Devavuti was really something special.

You might think all that I had to be a Sannyasi or something. But here we see she was Vrihashta. She had all kinds. She had a provincial building, she had children.

So people might think I might be a Sannyasi or something. But here we can see she is being a grihasta. She had a palatial building.

Depends on our consciousness.

So it depends on our consciousness.

We are very attached to the fruits of our labor, then we have to stay in the material world.

If we are very attached to the fruits of our labor, then we have to stay in this material world.

But if we are attached to Krishna's service, then we will return back home to Krishna's abode. But if someone may be a housewife, but she's at home, she's doing the cooking and she is offering. If she offers that food to Krishna, she offers arati to Krishna. Krishna who is there in the home as deity form.

She doesn't have to be a Brahmana. She doesn't have to go to Toyota to preach. She can stay at her home, go back to Godhead, so she don't have.

To be a Brahmana. She don't have to go and preach. She just have to stay at home and she can go back home, back to Godh.

Hi.

Therefore, whatever one may be, one may be a businessman or whatever, but he should engage in the service of Krishna. In this age of kali, lord chaitanya mahaprabhu recommended. He prescribed that one should chant hare krishna. Hare krishna. Krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama. Rama rama hare hare.

Huh?

Can they hear?

Yes. Yes, they could hear. We could hear it here as well. Yeah, yeah. Yes.

So like this, we can preach to all our congregational members, to everyone. They don't have to change their occupation.

So we should preach to our congregational members that they don't have to change their occupational duty. They don't have to change their situation.

Their consciousness has to change.

Their consciousness has to be changed.

They should perform devotional Service to Krishna.

So and then we can make the whole world Ka conscious.

So that means we can make the whole world Ka conscious.

Now say one disciple businessman, he told me that he wanted to be a Pujari because he wanted to go back to Godhead.

Sir, disciple businessman told me that he wants to be a Pujari because he wants to go back home, back to Godhead.

I told him, you can do your business for Ka and you don't have to be a Pujari.

So I told him, you can do your business for Krishna and you don't have to be a Pujari.

So he started making more money.

So he started making more money.

Millions and millions and millions.

So he started making more money, Millions and millions and millions of dollars.

I don't know. So then what Naoi always not only to the Islam temples to Mayapur he is also developing a Ka conscious project.

So he doesn't only offer to ISKCON temples Mayapur, he also develops Ka conscious projects.

Therefore everyone can perform or practice devotional service to Krishna by getting the mercy of Lord Sri Krishna.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu so Daivaram means that you are Vaishnavi or Vaishnava.

So Deva Varuna means that you are a Vaishnavi or a Vaishnava.

And ordinary Varanava is in the three modes.

An ordinary Varanashrama is in the three modes.

Say someone likes to work in a particular way so they can be engaged, but they're not Vaishyas or Sujas or whatever. So say some Vaishnavas.

Say somebody likes to work in a particular way, but they can be engaged, but they are not Vaishya Shudras, they are Vaishnavas.

Now Arjuna, he wanted to be a Brahmin, a beggar, a mendicant, not right.

So Arjuna, he wanted to be a Brahmin, a beggar, a mendicant, not fight.

That better you do your own work than someone else's work. Even if there's directing your own work to the other work properly.

So Krishna told him, even better than doing others work, do your own work. And even if it has defect, then doing others work perfectly.

In the 18th chapter Bhagavad Gita is length. The way to really do it is as an offering to him.

So in the 18th chapter of Bhagavad Gita he says the way to really do it is to do it as an offering to him to Krishna.

I think that in India cultures that band system.

So in India the culture Is that we know it is the traditional Varnashrama system. People are against that and that's the caste system. And people are against that.

Means you do your work according to your nature but you serve Ka.

But Deva Varanashrama means you do your work according to your nature but you serve Krishna.

If you do it like that, then Krishna will be pleased with you and your life will become successful.

So why in the Bhavutan so much detail about Khairo Muni devotee? And there's a life. And.

So why in the Bhagavatam so much given about Karatamuni Devahuti, the Agriasta life, the austerities.

You see that in this their life was millions of years long.

We see that their lives were millions of years long.

Now he was doing great austerity. He had all my sick yellow flowers.

So as we know he was doing great austerities. And he had great mystic yoga power, everything.

And then he wanted to enter into the householder life.

But.

He.

Took sannyas and he dedicated his whole life always was to please.

So after that he took sannyas. After enjoying, he took sannyas and he dedicated his life.

His whole life.

His whole life. His whole life was dedicated to Krishna.

Amin Krishna, Avatar Baba Shalom.

Krishna. In this way he was the father of an incarnation of Ka.

So it's not restricted that you do any kind of monetary activities. One is to do it in a Ka conscious way.

So it's not restricted that you shouldn't do any kind of material activities but you should do it in a Ka conscious way.

How you're saying both Kairamani and Devahoti Devidasi as she went back, they all went back to Godhead.

Now we are seeing that Kardha Muni and Devavhuti Devi Dasi, they all went back to Godhead.

Are there any questions?

Are there any questions?

How you hear?

Yeah, yeah, there's some questions. Yeah, yeah, you can feel that. So Guru Mahesh, a question from Brajavasi Das Devahuti achieved Vaikunta or Goloka Vrindavan, what is a eternal form?

She went to the abode of Kalila.

So she went to the abode of Lord Kapila.

I think that's. I mean as far I know that.

As far as I know that is in Vaikuntha. But whatever Dham you go, it's according to what rasa you have.

Now. Rasa Sandra Dash, kind of respectful Sakya naturally.

So some people, if they raise a Santa Dasa. A kind of respectful Sakya. They naturally go to Vaikuntha.

Now we're discussing the Sakya Rasa.

So every evening we are discussing from Chaitanya Sikshamrata. Now we are discussing on Sakya Rasa.

So where do you want to go?

Where do you want to go? Vaikuntha or Golok.

So accordingly fix your mind on Krishna or on his avatar.

So accordingly you should fix your mind on Krishna or his different avatars. There's one more Bengali question.

All right.

Come to closer to his sessions.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj. My question is. Thank you so much for the wonderful class. It was a very, very practical class with a lot of practical advice for us. My question is, If somebody is engaged in a profession of say selling fishes so should he give up that profession or he can. If he is not eating the fish, he can continue with that occupation and still he can engage in. Or he can give the results to Ka. You see, if you are a businessman, you can do some business. But you should not be selling fish, meat, eggs, etc.

All right. I don't know.
