Chapters
Hare krishna dear devotees, His. Suddenly left this world in the holy d. He was. He was very dedicated to iskcon gbc he was outspoken, was
right.
And he was. Raised frank.
Oh and so God did very well. Sonic and there are a few disciples
here in Mayapur His Holiness Bhakti Vibers for me a few disciples here in
Mayapur and Salt he went through some
treatment so he's going through some treatment
and he's returning to Czech Republic and
he would be returning to Czech Republic. So we pray to Lord Narasingadeva that he overcomes all the obstacles and I'm
also contributing something for his help so
I'm also contributing something for his health. Health. Continue reading Hare Krishna Dear devotees, we will continue with our reading from Sri Chaitan shikshamrita Vaishala Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur okay Conclusion Whoever realizes the self as non dual, beyond caste, qualities and actions, free from the six changes and all defects, whose nature is truth, knowledge, bliss and infinity, who is himself without imagination, the support of all conceptions, the essence of all who who as the inner controller pervades within and without like space, whose nature is indivisible bliss, who is immeasurable, noble only through direct experience, shining forth as self evident, like a Amalaki fruit in the palm of the hand, having directly realized him and being fulfilled, thereby remaining free from faults such as desire and passion, endowed with tranquility and self control, devoid of envy, thirst, delusion, and untouched in mind by hypocrisy, pride and the like. Such one possessing these characteristics indeed is indeed a Brahmana otherwise there is truly no attainment of Brahmin hut. Quotation from Brihadarana oh Gargi the previous one from Vajra Suchi Kopadi Nishati this the other quote from the next quote is from that Ogargi One who exits from this mortal world having known this imperishable Akshara, he is a Brahmana. Another quotation if one acts in his profession according to his position in the modes of nature and gradually gives up these activities, he attains the Nishkama. Stage one shows the symptoms of being a Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaishya or Shudra as described above, even if he has appeared in different class, he should be accepted according to those symptoms of classification. 7.11.3235. If indeed the same qualities are seen in another Varna also, then that Varna should be designated by that very characteristic, by that very mark, not by birth. This is the meaning? Commentary on Commentary by Sridhar Swami on the previous mentioned verse. Another quotation from Mahabharata. Okay. Conversation between Yudhishthra Maharaj and Python. The Python asks, O King, who is truly a Brahmana? What is to be known where truth, knowledge, forgiveness, good conduct, compassion, austerity and modesty are seen? Or serpent, he is remembered as a Brahmana. If these marks are found in a shudra and not in a Dwija, then the shudra is not a shudra nor Dvija a Brahmana. When these qualities are observed, that person is called a Brahmana. When they are absent, that person is designated a Shudra. When the python responds, if a Brahmana is judged by conduct, then the birth is vain, O King. If deeds are absent, Dharmaraja continues. O great serpent. In humanity, caste is difficult to determine. For there is mixture amongst all Varanas. All men beget children of all types. Therefore the wise who see truth, whole conduct, Sheila as foremost a Dvid who has not studied the Veda and labors elsewhere, quickly falls into Sudratva even while alive, along with his lineage. Those who live by only birth, without vows or mantras, even if gathered in thousands, are not pure. But even one Dwija who knows the Veda and practices Dharma is to be regarded as superior, not the ignorant, even if they number in tens of thousands. If Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaishya and sutra are not determined by the marks of birth, conduct and character, then Varnashrama, Dharma and beyond it, the authentic life of Vaida Bhakti, regulated devotional life, cannot be possible. Would you like to commence.
The aspect of cast by birth as a kind of isoic?
The aspect of caste by birth is a neck. It's a kind of Asura. It's an aspect of Asurik Varanasra.
Hello.
That means demonic Varnashram.
So here. Is that one should be judged by their conduct, not by their birth.
So Shaydushra Maharaj is confirming that one should be by should be judged by their conduct, not by their birth. There's something there saying something like J. Krishna Tyaji Brahmana.
I say that well, the Lord suggests even one has his whole Brahmana. And you know the all one verse ten verse is Visharat.
So there's also a verse says that one who calls himself Subramana, who knows the mantras, tantras, he is also called Visharat, who's very expert.
But if he's not a Vaishnava guru,
but if he's not a Vaishnava. He can't be a guru. Guru Na Sat.
So the first thing is that one has to be Vaishnava. Vaishnava.
So first thing is that one has to be a Vaishnava or Vaishnavi. Science. So the qualification is that to be a guru they should know the science of Krishna and Krishna consciousness.
This is the real standard.
So this is the real standard. Jai. A resolve desiring to please Vishnu. Vishnu Preeti kama is impossible. Can a mind driven by attachment to sense objects naturally make a result for pleasing Vishnu? If such a resolve is made merely for the sake of social convention, excuse me, then it cannot be counted as the true function of the mind. It is only a superficial show for the mind. For example, women who worship annapurna with the hope of obtaining abundant food in their future birth, they resolve said to be for pleasing Vishnu, but is merely verbal. Such sankalpas, whether in the form of sankalpa viti or arpanavidi, are not capable of freeing the jiva from the bondage of karma. Needless to say, May be giving lip service to Lord Krishna. Okay, I'm doing this to please Lord Krishna.
One of the actual purposes to get some punya.
If the actual purpose is to get some punya, then
attached to the roots
of their activities, then they get attached to the fruits of their activities.
Well, not they'll be bound by the laws all
then naturally, eventually they will be bound by the fruits of the material of all karma. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, Guru Maharaj. That has to be highlighted in yellow. Yeah. Internal spiritual tendency. The third method is proper. Since the mind acts favorable to the object to which it is attached. If the mind is fond of enjoyable food, then that very food is accepted as the Lord's prasada. Then both the extensive cultivation of Bhagavata bhava and the mind's attachment to objects proceed together at the same time. In this way, through the gradual tasting of higher rasa, the lower attachment is quickly transformed into higher rasa within a short time. This is called secondary devotion Gauni bhakti, by which karma is set apart. Thus, even though Karma exists, the disappearance of the essence of Karma is naturally possible here itself. When all bodily and mental activities are performed in this course of inclination, then karma becomes a servant in the form of secondary devotion gauni bhakti. Fully serving the primary devotion Mukhiya bhakti. Among theistic moralists, who he whose tendency is strong in this way, his life is Anthar muka. All other Theistic moralists lives are Bahir Mukha.
So.
So if you like to eat nice food then offer it to Krishna and take it as Prashad.
So I'm not worried your desire for nice food or your child is right
in that way your desire for nice food is satisfied. And he'll get the spiritual benefit of taking Prashad. How many of you that like would like to have that situation?
So how you can be dovetailed?
So Prabhupada saying that so these are things that how we can dovetail things in Krishna consciousness. Today is the Amalaki Akadasi.
Salt. Some people last,
so some people fast on Ekadashis
again please not take any grains, pulses and cereals.
So Prabhupada said at least we can't take any grains, pulses and cereals.
And that's why we can be Krishna conscious.
And in this way we can be Krishna conscious. Worshiping Lord Hari, what is the use of severe penances? And if one is not worshiping Lord Hari, what is the use of severe penances? If one can understand that Lord Hari is all pervading, what is the use of severe penances? And if one cannot understand that Lord Hari is all pervading, what is the use of severe penances? Bhakti alone is the supreme goal Parama Parusharta of the Jiva. After refuting all opposing views, it has been shown in the conclusion that Bhakti is the sole practice to be performed by the Jiva. Bhakti is indeed the supreme goal of the Jiva. It is not opposed to the upliftment welfare of the world. And by peace and pure bliss it bestows eternality upon the Jiva. A life of devotion is the true human life. It is complete and auspicious. This alone is this whole manifestation of the Vaikuntha principle within this world.
This spiritual world is completely dedicated to Lord Krishna.
You see, the spiritual world is completely dedicated to Lord Krishna and has different expansions.
Someone in a total consciousness,
Someone in spiritual consciousness offers everything to Lord Krishna.
Are sustained by Krishna.
And so naturally that person is sustained by Krishna.
So we're trying to encourage everybody to do this devotional source.
So we are trying to encourage everybody to do this devotional service
system.
Bhakti Yoga is the system. Bhakti Yoga is the goal. And Bhakti Yoga is the unending bliss.
How to get your enthusiasm?
So sometimes people ask me, how do you get enthusiasm hot
so much nitrogen
service but there's so much nectar in devotional service. How you cannot get amusia, how you cannot get enthusiasm. Remembrance of Lord Krishna's lotus feet destroys everything inauspicious and after an awards the greatest good fortune it purifies the heart and bestows devotion to the supreme soul along with knowledge enriched with realization and renunciation.
Reading out. This Mahamandra
so we are reading every night the different meanings of the Mahamantra Hare Krishna.
And so. Lord rama teaches that the
so in the kali santarana upanishad lord brahma teach narat the hare krishna maha mantra.
I travel all over the universe.
So Narat Muni was saying to Lord Brahma that I travel all over the universe.
Saved from the canal nation of the Kali Yuga.
Sir, in Kali Yuga how can I save from the contamination of Kali Yuga? Lord brahmasa said hare krishna, hare krishna, krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama, rama rama hare chant this, chant this mahamantra I will be protected. Then you will be protected from all the Kalmarsh all the contaminations of Kali Yuga. So
I think that like this illusion shadow like not only asking Brahma how to do this, easy for people to understand.
So I was thinking that if you can show how Narat Muni asking Lord Brahma how to do this it will be easy for people to understand.
I don't know what do you think?
And what do you think? Of course Haribo.
So. Senses lives out like crocodiles.
So Devi asked Lord Shiva in Kali what's like crocodile senses? The senses they rise up like crocodiles.
And so how can they, how can people be protectors or not?
How can people be protected from that?
Then?
So lord shiva said. And then he said Hare Krishna Mahamantra
so this is the way we'll be protected.
So this is the way that we'll get protected
that he give us this mantra.
Tapa was so kind to us that he gave us this mantra.
And by chanting the mantra not only you got to pray,
By chanting the mantra you not only get free from the contamination of Kali Yuga we also
achieve other benefits.
We also achieve other benefits.
Too many probably describe.
There's too many to be probably described. What's that?
I don't have children.
Oh. So Rishabh and Kida, they didn't have any issue, they didn't have any children.
So then we went to the forest,
the long penances and then they went to the forest and they did long penances. So then when they went, they saw Muni Dhruvasamuni meditating in a lake or
something and So I asked. I don't know any special mantra.
So they asked the money to give them some special mantra.
So I wish right here. Special mantra.
So we should. What's that?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes.
