Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita Barshala Satchitananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur on the subject matter of Sakyarasa the Uddipanas of Sakya Rasas 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 Rasamrutha Sindhu Krishna's age, his beauty, his bugle, his flute, his conch shell, his pleasing attitude all provoke 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 give impetus to devotees developing love for Krishna in friendship. In Sakyarasa the ages of Kaumara, childhood, Pau Gandha, boyhood and Kaishora are eternal. In the Cowhat community in Braj, Kaumara and Pau Gandha are observed and Kaishwara is fully manifest. In Braja and Dwaraka city, Kaumara is suitable for Vatsalya Rasa parental affection. PA is divided into three stages, early, middle and late. In the middle stage of Paganda, Lord Hari manifests his playing in a glorious way in the early phase of Kaishora his extraordinary sweetness and beauty shine brilliantly.

These are the inspirations for the Sakyasa.

So these are the inspirations for Sakurasa. Different aspects of Lord Krishna different aspects of Lord Krishna. So the Pau Gandha time is is special. For the Brajavasis who are in the Sakya Rasa who are in the Sakyasas.

They are different pastimes enjoy with Krishna.

Even the Kumaya and Krishnara is the sound Prince of Krishna.

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

It'S interesting Prabhat said that in the Raja and the Guha the ages of.

Kolanda to Sahara so here it's something interesting. Srila Prabhupada said in Braja, the ages of Kaumara, Paganda and Kaishura are eternal.

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

I mean in the spiritual world you can eternally play with Krishna.

Here we see people all from childhood, youth. So the boy of the youth.

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

But they are in surgery simultaneously existing eternally in all the different ages.

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

Now you can't really conceive though 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.

It started out as a mind.

It became from boy to youth and gradually it became old. They are eternally being a friend of Krishna. They can worship Krishna in his Kaumara age. The parents of Krishna. Sorry.

SAP and they take something on those being started to.

So every day so many news being instructed to us. Haribo.

Wow.

Chai Bhakti Rasamrata Sindhu 3, 3.58 and 71 Translation Krishna's age It is accepted that Krishna has three ages. Kaumara, Pau Gandha and Kaishura. Krishna is visible in the Kaumara and Pau Gandha 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 Pavganda. The age from the 11th through 15th year is called Kaishora. While Krishna is spending his day as a cowhead boy, he is the Kaumara. He is in the Kaumara and Pawganda ages. In the Kaishavara 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 middle of the Pavganda 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.

What the friends of Krishna do.

So here it reveals what the friends of Krishna do.

Unique things.

They do some unique things.

So they're having this Anuradhava's subordinate ecstasies.

Here they're having this Anubhava subordinate ecstasies. They have different sports with Krishna.

I'm iman. I don't think other religions have any.

Idea I mean I don't think other religions they'll have any idea what God does. What God does.

I mean he's so lovable.

I mean he's so lovable.

But all I know him is like something like that lion form without much form.

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

There's things of Sagaraja, you are a friend of God.

These things in Sakira said 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.

You can achieve this wonderful pastime.

You can achieve these wonderful pastimes with the Lord. Chai Shlaguruma is 804 activities of Sruhuts Sakas, Priya Sakas and Priya Narmasakas. Giving advice on duties and non duties, encouraging beneficial actions and taking the lead in all endeavors are the activities of Sruhat well wishing friends, offering betel 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, snatch flowers from his hands. Being decorated by Krishna and being decorated by Krishna.

Wow.

They please Krishna through through hand to hand combat and other interactions. This is an interesting one. Acting as messengers for the Vajakishwari, the youthful damsels of Braj. Approving their love, supporting Krishna in his disputes with them, cleverly supporting the science of Yuteshwari, the group leader when the Vajakushuris 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 different does a different service.

So each type of friend does a different service.

I mean, this is amazing.

I mean, this is amazing.

Wonderful.

Wonderful.

All the devotees, how 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.

You have Sri Sagas, the Priya Sagas and the Priyanayama sagas.

Now you have the Sruhat Sakas, Priyasakas and the Priya Narmasakas.

So.

Okay, the last paragraph. Okay. Adorning Krishna with wildflowers.

Wow.

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 cowherd boy along with the servants.

So that means Krishna is eternally in this Pahuganda age.

That means Krishna is eternally in this Pavganda age.

And friends of Kaara boys and these constant services, different friends of Krishna, the.

Cowhead boys, they are engaged in these constant services.

So you see that dasiras is included in sagiras.

You see that basyaras is included in sakyaras.

And the activities Lord Krishna in relation to his friends, they are wonderful.

I mean, the activity, the activities of Lord Krishna in relation with his friends is very wonderful.

While we're in this world, how we engage.

So this shows how important deity worship is.

By doing this, we can start to taste ecstasy of serving the Lord.

By doing this, we can start developing taste and ecstasy for serving the Lord. So this is very important.

I recently got a letter and I sat down all the sojourners with devotees. That's all good.

So someone wrote me a letter recently and they were saying associating with devotees is really not really so good.

So they are losing their inspiration.

So they were losing their inspiration.

I think that they're not reading, they're not thinking about Judge Zahra and they're just thinking about external things.

So I think they're not reading. They're not thinking about Krishna. They're just thinking about their external things. So there's so much to be. There's so much to be inspired by.

Some of the writers are Brazilians. They have weeds and they do fault binding and or they desire some position.

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

This Krishna consciousness practice is something very systematic.

So this Ka consciousness practice is something very systematic.

Haribo I would like to extend my blessings.

I would like to extend my blessings. Shla Guru Maharaja Ki Shri Siradamadhu Sakirinda Maipur Chandragiraj Maharaja ki the Sakas of Krishna Ki Panchatatva Ki Prahna Shinga Deva Ki Srila Prabhupada ki Shla Guru Maharaja Ki Iskcon Guru Vrindaki Nithai Guru Premanande Hari Harivo.
