I'm gonna read about the Sagyarasa, one of the inspirations.

So we are going to read about more. We are going to read more about the Sakyasas. What are the inspirations? Are you ready? Hari Om Tatsa Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue with from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrata Barshala Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur on the subject matter of Sakirasa, the Utipanas of Sakyasas, the Udipanas for Prayorasa Sakyasa are the Lord's age, form, horn, flute, conch spots, joking, heroism qualities, intimate devotees and imitating the activities of kings and various incarnations. Rla Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu Krishna's age, his beauty, his bugle, his flute, his conch shell, his pleasing attitude all provoke love and relationship, love and friendship for him. His exceptional joking abilities, exhibited sometimes by his pretending to be a royal prince or even the supreme personality of Godhead also give impetus to devotees developing love for Krishna in friendship. In Sakyarasa, the ages of Kaumara, childhood, Pavganda boyhood and Kaishura youth are eternal in the Cowhat community in Braj, Kaumara and Pavganda are observed and Kaishora is fully manifest. In Braja and Dwarka City, Kaumara is suitable for Vatsalya Rasa Pau Gandha is divided into three early, middle and late. In the middle stage of Pawganda, Lord Hari manifests his playing in a glorious way. In the early phase of Kaishura, his extraordinary sweetness and beauty shine brilliantly.

So these are the inspirations for the Sakurasa.

So these are the inspirations for Sakurasa. Different aspects of Lord Krishna. So the Pauganda time is special for the Brajavasis who are in the Sakyasis. They have different pastimes and enjoy with.

Krishna or even the Kumara is the sound Prince Krishna.

Even in the Kaumara and Kaishura age there are some friends of Krishna and.

Yeah, it's interesting that in the Radzai and the Dhar Khali.

So here it's something interesting. Srila Prabhupada said in Braja, the ages of Kaumara, Pawganda and Kaishura are eternal.

I mean that means in the world you will eternally play with Krishna.

I mean in the spiritual world you can eternally play with Krishna. So. So it's inconceivable.

Here we see people go from childhood youth to the boyhood to you.

So here we can see people from go from childhood to boyhood boyhood to youth.

Are Krishna simultaneously existing eternally in all the different ages.

But there in the spiritual world, Krishna is simultaneously existing in all the different ages.

How you can't really conceive of that's.

We can't really conceive of because we.

Are not experience of that.

Because we have no experience of that.

My body now it's old body.

My body is now it's an old body.

Started out of the boy healed and gradually became old.

It became from boy to youth and gradually it became old.

Eternally. As.

So they are eternally being a friend of Krishna they can worship Krishna in his Kaumara age. The parents of Krishna sorry, The fans of Krishna they can eternally play with Krishna in the paganda of boyhood age. So. Every day so many news being instructed to us. Haribo. Wow. Bhaktira, Samrata, Sindhu 3, 3.58 and 71 Translation Krishna's age It is accepted that Krishna has three ages. Kaumara, Pawganda and Kaishura. Krishna is visible in the Kaumara and Pawganda ages in Gokula only. But he is visible in the Kaishvara age in Gokula as well as Mathura and Dwaraka Srila Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu Learned scholars have divided Krishna's age into three periods. The age up through five years is called Kaumara. The age from the 6th through the 10th year is called Pawganda. The age from the 11th through 15th year is called Kaishura. While Krishna is spending his day as a cowhead boy, he is the Kaumara. He is in the Kaumara and Pawganda ages. In the Kaishura age when Krishna appeared in Gokula, he acted as a cowhead boy. And then when he was 16, he went to Mathura to kill Kangsa. In the middle age of the Paganda age, Middle of the Paganda age of the Lord exists gloriously by playing. Okay. The subordinate ecstasy Anubhava of this Rasa include arm wrestling, ball games Gambling, The game of carrying stick fighting and pleasing Krishna through mock battles. They also engage in resting on the same bed, sitting on the same seat and lying together on swings, joking and playing in waters and dancing and singing with Krishna in unison are general activities.

They know him as like something like the lion form without much heart.

But all they know that is something like the Narayan form but without a.

Form it was there's things.

These things in Sakirasa, to be a friend of.

God, that's beyond the idea of Christians.

It's beyond the idea, beyond the idea of Christians and Muslims, even Jews.

So I don't think many people, even the Hindu religion understand all these secrets.

I don't think even people in the Hindu religion understand all the secrets of Lord Sri Krishna. So be a Yogini or be a Yogi.

Achieve this wonderful pastimes of the Lord.

You can achieve these wonderful pastimes with the Lord. Shla guruma 804 activities of sruhut sakas, priya sakas and priya narma sakas. Giving advice on duties and non duties, encouraging beneficial actions and taking the lead in all endeavors are the activities of Sruhit well wishing friends, Offering beetle nuts, beetle nuts in Krishna's mouth, applying tilaka, smearing sandalwood paste and decorating the face with artistic designs. These are the duties of all Sakas friends. The Priyasakas dear friend. Defeat Krishna in mock battles. Attract by pulling his garments, okay. Snatch flowers from his hands and being decorated by Krishna. They please Krishna through hand to hand combat and other interactions. This is an interesting one. Acting as messengers for the Vajra Kishori, the youthful damsels of Braj. Approving their love, supporting Krishna in his disputes with them, cleverly supporting the science of Yateswaring, the group leader when the Rajakshuris are absent, engaging in whispered or secretive conversation. These are the affectionate services of the Priyanarma Sakas, most intimate and confidential friend. Adorning Krishna with wild flowers and jeweled ornaments, dancing before him, singing, serving the cows, massaging his limbs, stringing garlands and fanning him. These are the general activities of the cowhead boy along with the servants.

So each type of friend has a different does a different service.

So each type of friend does a different service.

This is amazing.

I mean this is amazing. Wonderful, wonderful.

All the devotees, all the friends of Krishna are engaging with Krishna in so many ways.

So how the friends of Krishna are engaging with Krishna in so many ways.

And jeweled ornaments, dancing before him, singing, serving the cows, massaging his limbs, stringing garlands and fanning him.

Journaling in this.

That means Krishna is eternally in this Bhagandha age.

And different friends of Krishna, the regard voice and these constant services.

So this is. I recently got a letter. Which is all good.

So someone wrote me a letter recently and they were saying associating with devotees is really, it's not really so good. So they were losing their inspiration.

I think that they're not reading, they're not thinking about your child and they're just thinking about their external things.

So I think they're not reading, they're not thinking about Krishna, they're just thinking about their external things.

How this so much of the inspired, right?

So there's so much to be. There's so much to be inspired by.

Unfortunately, some of our devotees are Brazilian. They are weeds and fault binding desires of position.

So some, eventually some of our devotees are busy with these weeds of fault finding, desiring position and all these things and fault finding.

That's unfortunate that's why I'm saying, be bhakti yogis. Bhakti yogis.

So that's. That's so unfortunate. That's why I'm saying, be bhakti yogis and bhakti yoginis.
