A Class on Brahma-saṁhitā #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

This verse indicates that Krishna and his entourage are all of the same spiritual potency. Krishna's father, his mother, his friends and counter boys and a cows are all expansions of Ka as will be explained in the Brahma Bhimohan of Neera. When Brahma took away Krishna and his associates to test the supinency of Lord Krishna, the Lord expanded himself again in the forms of the many Goddess boys and calves all of whom as Brahma saw were Vishnu margaritas. Devaki is also an expansion of Krishna and therefore this verse says at the time of the Lord's appearance the great sages and the demigods being pleased began to shower flowers at the seashore there was the sound of wild waves and above the sea there were clouds from the sky which began to thunder very pleasingly. When things were adjusted like this, who appeared as one of the many Goddesses the babies. The appearance of Lord Vishnu at that time could be compared to the rising of the full moon in the Sk on the eastern arising. The objection in the rules that since Lord Krishna 8 day of the main moon there could be no rising of the full moon. He said the Lord Krishna appeared in the dynasty which is in the hierarchy of the moon. Therefore, although the moon was incomplete on that night because of the Lord's appearance and the dynasty where the moon is himself the original person, the moon was in an overdrive condition. So by the grace of Ka it could appear as a full moon to welcome the supreme personality of Godhead. The waning moon became a full moon in tribulation Instead of Deva Rukhinyam. Some texts of Siva's Bible can clearly say Vishnu Rukin Yam. In either case the meaning is that Devokeen has the same spiritual form as the Lord. The Lord is Sachirananda Vikra. The Devaki is also Satirananda Vikra. Therefore no one can find any fault in the way the supreme personality appears in the womb of Devil Ki. Very important point here to understand. Devoki was also not ordinary woman. She was also a special incarnation of the Lord's spiritual energy come just for bringing the Lord in this world. She is also Sat Chidaya. She is also a form of eternal blissful knowledge to the Lord's appearance. When he appears, he also brings his entourage with him in order to facilitate his coming. The appearance of the Lord says in Bhagavad Gita his Chanma Karma Chame Divyam. His appearance and activities are all Divyam all transcendental Dhamma Dharma My Dima May be Swarjuna. If someone understands the transcendental nature of Ka's appearance and activities, then upon leaving their body, they don't go back. They don't come back to the library, they go back to Ka. This is the wonderful thing. We should understand very clearly how Krishna's appearance is transcendental. Because the atheist, the demon to say Krishna was born like anybody else. But there are so many differences here. His mother was a transcendental personality. He came and showed that his new form, all these different things the scriptures explain he's coming in a transcendental form, coming from the heart of the evil key to the womb. At that time, those who are not informal that the appearance and disappearance of the Lord are transcendental are sometimes surprised that the supreme personality of Godhood can take birth like an ordinary child. Actually how the Lord's birth is never ordinary. The supreme personality of Godhead is already situated in the core of everyone's heart. His Antar Yami, the super soul. Thus, because he was present in full potency and the abilities higher, he was also able to appear outside the body. One of the 12 great personalities is Vishwa Deva, Sayangpura, Vishuma Bhagavata Bhishma gained authority to be followed by devotees. Says that the supreme personality of God is situated in the court of everyone's hired. Just as the sun may be on everyone's head. Yet although the sun may be on the heads of millions and millions of people, this does not mean that the sun is variously situated. Similarly, as the supreme personality Godhead has inconceivable potencies, he can be within everyone's heart and Yadbot is situated various things. The Lord is one, but he can appear in everyone's heart by his infancy. Thus, although the Lord was within the heart of David, he appeared as a child according to the Vishnu Quran. Therefore, as ordered in the Vaishnava Toshemi, the Lord appeared like the Sun. Anu Kaha Sayya. The Brahma Samhita 5:35 confirms that the Lord is situated even within the atom. He is situated in Mathura and Vaikuntha and in the core of the heart. Therefore, one should clearly understand that he did not live like an ordinary child in the heart of the woman. They were healed. Nor did he appear like the one in an even child, though he seemed to do so. Nor to bewilder Asuras like Hamsa. The Asuras rarely think that Krishna took birth like an ornamental. Conceptions are rejected by persons in knowledge of the supreme Personality of Bhagavad Gita 4.6 as stated in the Bhagavad Gita, the Lord is Ajah unborn and he is the supreme controller of everything. Nonetheless, he appeared as the child of Devon Ki. This verse describes the inconceivable potency of the Lord who appeared like the full moon. Understanding the special significance of the appearance of the supreme Lord, one should never regard him as having taken breath like an ordinary child. Subasudev saw the son of here Vashanta Chakra Gaddafatman Mark received his chest around his neck. Dressed in yellow garments, body in blackish like a dense cloud, Hair scattered fully grown. How many babies are born with fully grown hair? How many earrings sparkling and Calvin leave? How many babies are born with helmet and earrings? He was wearing earrings with the valuable gem by Luria. He had belt, armlets, bangles and other ornaments. He appeared just like the Vishnu. This is the last night we stood here in the midnight in the prison house. And now this morning we just saw that as they woke up to find they have a good baby son, Krishna. They think that Krishna is their son. They don't know at this point that he's a stepson. So the Mandavaharaj is rejoicing. He's giving a big charity. Big feast for everyone. Today is called Manda Bahutsa Day, the festival of Anna Maharaj. Because he's rejoicing. He's a king. And if he has a son, then it's a big matter for everyone. Any child will have been a matter for rejoicing. Especially since he needed a son as a heir for the throne. It was something very important. So he's feeling so transcendentally happy and he's giving profuse charity and he's feeding all the people. Big feast today. One of the tapas we have to do today is have a feast. How many of you are prepared to take this austerity? For all the feasting and fasting and Ka consciousness, it's all the same. Sometimes we're fasting, sometimes we're feasting. Everything we do is only for the service of Ka. We don't fast for other things. We don't feast for other things. Someone offers us a big feast of predatory items, you won't be interested. You want the only Krishna of the Sadh. There's a where the devotees do tell everything in Ka service. We feast, we fast. Sometimes people that are fasting for losing weight, we read in the newspapers, especially in Singapore, so many swimming programs are there. Even people are Dying trying to lose weight because of self deformed mercy. Here we fasting for the pleasure of Krishna and we're feasting also from the pleasure of wisdom. Nanda Maharaj is offering a feast to all his friends. Krishna has appeared. Let's rejoice. If someone said no, I don't want to eat your face, you would feel offended. How many of you want to offend Nanda Maharaj to help you today? So Prabhupada he was so merciful that he appeared on this day. I see. He was such a. He's such a great devotee. Mother appeared and Krishna master But out of his strength he delayed one day to appear today. So today we simultaneously have Vast Puja and Krishna. This the upar appeared in the holy day of Banda Muhammad festival of Krishna's day. After Krishna's appearance it's a little more austere for Prabhupada scholars it is in the morning. Normally we're taking breakfast because it's Probaba's appearance day. It was supposed to take this one day or something to break the fast and limbs fast and Prabhupada in the afternoon we take care of his also special. Not exactly understandable how the Lord sends his devotion to this world in order to spread the whole message around so that life is one of preparation. Just like when Bhabhu was a little child he saw his father was a devotee worshiping other Krishna. He also wanted to worship. He asked and I have my own deities, so my children are playing. He's having his own deities and he's worshiping. That's his play 5 years of age he has his own deity. He dressed everything playing deity worship this type of characteristic when the children worship Krishna, chant Krishna's holy name and all these things. This is a special sign of someone who was a devotee in a previous life who has a tendency naturally to worship the Lord. It's customary when a child is born to do an astrological chart. This happened also with Krishna. Nanda Maharaj had Ragamuni do his chart do his astrological prediction. So Nanda Maharaj he said being the Gargamuni, he could see that got the same symptoms as Narayan. But you can't tell when the Maharaj, your son is Narayim although he realized it. So he said your son has got the qualities of Nayim. He's going to do wonderful things. Later when Krishna lifted the Govardan hill and all the cowherd boys said look, your son has always done amazing things. You tell Us that anyway it is some accident. But this time he saw lift up a whole mountain. This is not ordinary activity that anybody can do. So how is it possible that who is your son? Tell us. So then he revealed that Ganguni told me at the time of his birth. My son has got the powers of nine. That's why he can do wonderful things. So then people got sad of him. But so in their mind because they're all seeing Christians their nephew as their village boy. They're seeing him in a very simple way. So they think that he's a human being. But he's got the power of mind. He's very empowered, like a shaktam is. This is how the Vajrasis they always see in Krishna don't see Krishna's lives. We are given all this secret information. They were not aware of all these things Scripture are telling us. We know Krishna is God. But for the Brajavasis, if everyone knows he is God then his pastime will be very inhibited. He is coming down to play with all his friends. In the ordinary person plays. He also has his transcendental play with the children. He wants to enjoy most fastness. Everyone thinks he's God. Nobody will ever be afraid to play with him. So this is putting people in a kind of illusion where they forget it's God and they just love him according to some relationship. Let's talk to so the Puritan volumes when we are here. It's also Gurugamaya protects them. We also observe the Vyasa Puja because Guru is representing the Priyadhya Sacharya. Krishna is the original Guru and his incarnation to give Vedic knowledge to humanity. His destiny Yesterday he has given us the data by writing them down. Remember we had such good memories. Things are very peaceful. No pollution, Very regulated now. Last night I was going by one lady was trying to break into her car, hopped the bus in her car. She said she left her keys inside the car. We can't even remember to take our keys. So many things we read something, we can't remember everything. Certain percentages we get. Every day we get more and more. That's why we need to read every day. We can hardly say to refresh our memory. So many details get lost. So we need to regularly read, refresh our memory the things we have relevance. So that's why the books needed to be written down. Sometimes people ask me questions. They don't have the book handy and they give their own interpretation what the book said. I said bring the book and it turn out. Book says Something different. This is the from. So Vyasa devoted us down. He's a Ka's incarnation. So the Guru is living the Vedas says that what is the definition of an Acharya? Someone who knows the Vedas, who lives by the Vedas, practices the Vedas and teaches the Vedas, know them, practice it, has to teach it. Who does this is an Acharya. So whatever the crya is teaching that's based on the Vedas, books are the basis. Because the books are the basis. The astute wrote down the books and he is Krishna. Therefore, Guru is considered a representative of Gasting. We can experience gastings from the books which are his written experience, written representation and from the bona fide Guru who is practicing what the books say. Because you are personalist. We believe in the persons Krishna's eternal and his devotees are eternal. So every person has got some speciality. We don't like to minimize that. So in appearance they have the Guru. He entered into this world. Then they we respect the Savyasa Puja. So today is the double festival Mandavud Sat Vyas Puja. For this Vyas Puja festival we simultaneously offer the prasadam to Bishna and to Guru. Today we are worshiping that Guru as also a representation of Krishna representing Vyasda. So for us at this time, because the Prabhupada is our founder Acharya and he's the Ansharya Batistada. He's the one who's given us this knowledge. I shaved. The knowledge has been handed down to the discipline succession to Vaitn Siddhanta, Saracenpur. He established the Gaudiyomand. But after his departure, the Gaudiyomand broke up. He was fighting in the courts and so much fighting answer. Prabhupada said that they stopped to follow the basic principles that he was teaching to some degrees. Seeing that he wanted to have an institution which was dedicated to carrying on the message and a mission of the previous Acharyas without change. Inshallah. Baktist is not the sergeant never established any Acharya. He never established the head of the institution. He had made a committee, the governing body, kind of spiritual parliament that would board of directors that would manage the center to manage the institution. After he left, after some years, the previous dayonia mate stopped the governing body and decided to make one head. The head was a little more reactive dynamic than the governing body. As true has come. Sometimes the decisions take a while to get made. This in the midst of an annual meeting, as we discussed Sometimes may take years to get decided. That's a disadvantage. But the advantage is that we're following the group and we are cautious. When a decision is made. Usually it's after a lot of deliberation. And there's a consensus among most of the people. This is the way things should be. This is what Prabhupada wanted. Gregory and the one Acharya that they appointed he was Agassi. The end of getting married, running out from that woman. And so you can imagine the whole institution. He's the head collapse. There was more fighting then. So maybe the PDS have obviously like to sit on this very top. But foresee that these things should happen. Khali Yura individuals are not so strong together as a group we are stronger. So like this. There are many things that Rao Mah did to preserve what? That's why we go Iman and everything. But me personally believe the ISKCON is embodying more what Bhakti s not necessarily talk about. Not superficially, but really sleepily. Prabhupada he also because he visited around the whole world. And he knew what was the situation world. He adapted things for the modern age. So therefore he founded a new society. And we take him as our maximum authority. And so why do we should do it Is so everybody says Bhakti about the Lord Thakur said that Guru who founds a branch as Chaitanya's tree. That Guru is known as Ashariyar. He's the Ali Guru in the branch. He should be accepted as instructing guru for everyone principles. Not only organization, but the principal. Even though I teach that Parambara Many of you are the most of you except for Maharaj one or two others. I don't know if anyone else the grand disciple Ashram. At the same time all of you are thinking that teachings of Prabhupada teacher Siksha and Guru. Everyone should study Prabhupada's teachings. Learn it with the help of the Diksha Guru and other Diksha gurus and become thoroughly grow five consciousness. What do you think, Mark? In his calendar there are so many books now coming from different sources which eventually are maybe useful for us to read. But first we should thoroughly understand all those books. Once we read all our books thoroughly got a full understanding what was Rabba's mood? What was his teachings. Then we can add to that from other sources which he has authorized. So Prabhupada, what you gain? Cut just eating. How would I think Prabhupada like eating? But he was a Person living in this world who acted in certain ways. And we have his life written down in books like the Villa Linta. He has some of his activities here in Malaysia and the Malaysian. I forget what you call that book. But there's revelation biography of all the physics. Huh? Robot Malaysia Robot in Malaysia you can get some information. How did robot be and how did he act? He was such a perfect gentleman. In all his days he was off like a rose. But when it became some issue a principle regarding Krishna that he could be very harsh but very strong in alignment not to compromise. I believe there's a bogus philosophy. Ka is like ordinary person immortality. Krishna is supreme personality of Godhead. Think he is some ordinary living entity. Was very outspoken even in his purports and conceived to denounce the false interpretations, the wrong interpretations which minimize KA's position. To be with someone who is completely Ka conscious who is always thinking about Krishna. It's a very special experience. So it purify. We need that in this world. Krishna is coming once in a day of Rama. We don't get to see Krishna all the time. So next best we see Krishna's pure devotees. That association, his beer of and his spirit Devotees are also under the protection of Krishna's internal bodies. Just like Devaki was under that potency. So sharing the grave. Here the one is also representing that internal potency. We know that not God. Guru does not God is devotee or God. But because he is a pure devotee, he is an external manifestation. God is working through him. You can hear how many devotees they came in contact from how many people he left the lifelong oppression. He was someone who had no doubts, clearly understood the scripture. He had no doubts about the conclusion. So when you have association with someone like that who is fully in realize then it clears away all the doubts very easily. Srila Prabhupada he's coming in the line of the civic succession. He sent in May 2728 Vrindava 1977. He also wanted to have spiritual grandchildren. He wanted his disciples to initiate devotees. Then his disciples would initiate devotees and they would be the disciples of his disciples, his grand disciples. Prabhupada also wanted the guru Paramprag to continue in his. This was his desire. Some people present other series but this is very clear. Throughout all of his books and all of his teachings he has expressed this. The principle of Guru Parampar. It is in the presence of the Guru that the Sai was trying to bring the devotees to the Guru. Once the Guru has given some special different instructions. It is a normal heritage. But in the absence of the guru when he leaves the world then the disciples have the right to also initiate. Is there a quality iskcon? We have some local review boards who somebody's qualified or person. Nobody has any objection. Then that person is also to have a right. Simply want to know if they're qualified. Local people should know better. She's strict. So Prabhupada had already given instruction. All these disciples should be guru. He said he wants everyone to be qualified. In April, in 1977. It's a simple thing. Just repeat what the previous guru has said. It's not a difficult thing. Simple thing. To be durable, one has to be qualified. Not to end this regulation, to change anything, to present our philosophy as it is. We can see that Srila Prabhupada was a liberated personality. But he presented himself pretty humbly to be an example for others. During 1968 he wrote, I am not claiming the guru should be a liberated soul. There are two kinds of liberated soul. One is who is liberated by Ganaguri. He is definitely liberated by transcendental body. The other kind of guru is liberated by following the liberated guru. So the problem said my guru was liberated. So Bhakti Siddhan Saha Chakra. I am following him. Sancthain integrated by following. He followed so perfectly. He we can see he became fully libraried. So we're also trying to follow Shiva, Prabhupada, Iskand. That's our only claim. We're not claiming. We shouldn't claim that. We're all liberated like Narad Munim and we're not. We can claim liberation if we follow Prabhupada. So how will we follow Prabhupada if we don't know his teachings? We should thoroughly learn from Prabhupada's representatives and give his books. Prabhupada would visit all over the world. He'd be like almost like a guest. It was his institution. He came. But he didn't get so much involved in the local management. He left that to the local GDCs and temple president. Only if something was very obviously wrong, he would have commented on it. One should have told that this is Mayapur. This was his own temple he was paying for, was his own personal project. So for us he was always coming. First day he would come, it would all be praised. Oh, everything is so nice. Thank you very much. After about 24 to 48 hours the mood will change. Then he's got me out what are the defects to instruct us how to do things in the right way. Say we are walking from morning walk. Tap is running, drip, drip, drip. Water is falling. Is it worth responsible why Krishna's water is being wasted today in all the world. Summit is going on for the sustainable development of the world. And they say one of the big shortages the world is facing is water. As the population is increasing in many parts of the world there's inadequate water supply. We have to conserve water. Prabhupada so conscious in the dripping few drops are being wasted is why you are wasting Krishna's energy. See, the whole world can be ecological. All the rich nations put their fighting the rich nation. They don't want to sacrifice because their economy will suffer. They're telling the poor nation they don't cut your forest because of the global warming. They don't want to cut their exhaust fuels. So it's creating a big problem in the world today whether we'll have a world which is sustainable in the future. The have nots and the haves. There are many and the haves and the haves are also many. Europe wants more restriction. America doesn't want to restrict. So we're reading the paper. This is a big world issue today. Conservation. But if everyone understood the basic point that Prabhupada taught. Ka is a proprietor. There should be universal law. But no government has a right to exploit nature beyond a certain point. They don't have the right. It's God's property, not their personal property. Doesn't belong to America or any country in this world. The whole world belongs to Jagannath. They don't have the right to misuse the Lord's property. If the Ka consciousness viewpoint is established in the world, you have no problem for ecology. It will be universal law to the whole world. What can be done? What can't be done? The world should not be slaughtered up for someone's economic development at the cost of the whole future of humanity and the whole future of the world. This is what I am eating. Good luck. But they don't have this vision that the world belongs not to the individual nations. That there is a collectively as a whole. Collectively the world belongs to humanity. It's not true. We are maybe custodians. Humanity is custodians of the world but the proprietors. So we are killing so many species of life by cutting so many forests and by exploiting. So Prabhupada, he was so careful when he's putting Tila, he's somebody dropping water. He Said don't waste the water. How many waters your drops you spill when you put on Tila Prabhupada will take these envelopes and open them up and use the inside of the envelope for scrap paper. So don't throw it or use it. Not to misuse again so carefully. Was so cruel not to misuse any other stuff. These things you have to see it. I saw it and you can hardly believe it. How someone was so careful not to waste any Uprisna's energy. We were walking in Mayapur. The whole Mayapur. We had grown all kinds of crops and gardens. But There was about one 10 foot square in one corner by the back of the temple. There was just some weeds growing. So why you're not using this for Mishnah Go a tree, plant some boats. Do some countless things of eats for us. That was Srila Prophet a big detail. He was seeing a Maya point so that one place. He was teaching us so that we can learn from the whole world. He knows that he got digested. He was teaching us the body. What he was trying to point when the water drifting. He said that someone pointed out child Buddha Goswami. He is the temple president. He is responsible. He is co director the Prabhupada. I am standing next to Prabhupada. He knows what I am doing. He said no. He is responsible for everything. Who is the local authority Response heavily. But he should delegate individual departments to individual people. So I want to know who is the delegated should see for the water. That person is responsible and the president should see he does his duty. Prabhupada didn't believe that it should be one man show that everything should be delegated should be division of labor and and the president should be overseeing that people do their service. But everything should be departmentalized that way Things should go on very smoothly. Just like Krishna departmentalized Universe Mayur Day 1 Day Yummy Department Day 1 Day 1 so like that robot was so many things. You can show that management or even show in his personal dealings how he sometimes observed that the body had left. He went to Maya and he was crying and saying wow. They begged him to come back to Ka consciousness. He's done so much service. She tried to give him another chance. Give him another opportunity also very merciful, very grateful. If anyone did something he wanted to congratulate them. Thank you for helping me. This appreciation that he showered on devotees that was encouraging to them. Prabhupada was showering so much appreciation and different devotees they find it my Ring. Sometimes devotees leave this because they think nobody appreciate it. Prabhupada he will appreciate. He was like Ashutva, just like Shiva. Appreciated. Even the blood is dripping and the linga, he is appreciated. The Lord gave me a cool breath like that. Prabhupada was so merciful. Any service I wanted for Mishnah in New York one time one guy walked into the temple being an Afro American with maybe like basketball player, over six foot and a half or something. Like almost two meters or more. Must weigh maybe 300 pounds. Like over 250 kilos or something. 150 kilos. This huge guy came in with a box walk right in the temple with his shoes on. So everybody was offended, you know, why is he walking the temple with their shoes? The prophet said, yes, what do you want? He said, I brought this for you before Brahmananda. See what it is. Look, it was a vase of toilet paper. Said, okay, put it by the toilet. Thank you very much. The guy turned around, walked off. So Prabhupada said, my service attitude. He doesn't know, he don't wear shoes to temple. All these things he don't know. But he came to offer some service. So Prabhupada, out of all the things he picked out, what is the good thing? He has good service attitude. He came to do some seva. Maybe he didn't know all the. But his purpose was just to serve. So that's the thing Prabhupada kicked out. Prabhupada would find a little spark in every person where they want to serve Krishna and he defend that spark. And that person will get so enlightened that spark will become like a burning fire. They become fired up. Serve Krishna, enthusiastic to serve Krishna. We can somehow try to follow in Prabhupada's footsteps to encourage the people that we come in contact to serve Krishna. Whatever they do, they do. They do anything that's also glorious. Because most people, they do zero for Krishna. How many people serve God otherwise worrying about how to serve their own senses. No time. No time. No time. That's the mantra. No time for Krishna. No time to chant, to study and to work. Everything presents karaoke. No time to Krishna. They don't know that Krishna has their little self interest. They are missing out. So somebody is giving some time. The student is cheering one round. That's where glorious something they are doing four hours better. Some students doing 16 rounds super side by side seeking a material education and spiritual development like this Prabhupada people appreciate everyone according to something they're doing I'll need to appreciate. So you can imagine if someone did something very glorious then he would be so much happy. When they brought Prabhupada the books they published on the DVT every year in Mayapur and come to Guapurima they bring a stack of books. Prabhupada saw how these books he said, this is so pleasing to my spiritual master. He wanted so much that the books should be published in different languages. Sometimes he would just start crying. Tears would be pouring from his eyes. So happy to see these books. He commented that when he hears the book scores how many books are being distributed that also gave him life. Very likely came that people are paying the books. You like to hear the reports of the pitching is going on. That's why for the past year I shall Prabhu. But also we have the congregation of pitching rules that are now so we can read the Prabhupada the regular reports how the congregation of pitching is going. I recall talking, but you know. I know. But other devotees Vishnu's system is at some point in time people offer mountains. They also express their realization. How they have penetrated from Prabhupada or realization we got is unlimited. What you can say, but it doesn't all be said by one person. Various people can we also anxious to see what realization the grand disciples are getting from their service to Prabhupada. Because we are the appreciative generation. We are already what we call endangered species. We're not going to be here forever in physical form within my spirit, but not in physical. So it's important for us that the grand disciples should think up. This is how the grand disciples are very important. Because for you, those who are Prabhupada disciples, they directly had experience about Prabhupada. You got experience directly from those who had experience. So your understanding will be more accurate, more Prabhuani then next generation already after this they won't have the direct intro problems. If you hear from someone who saw or someone who heard from someone who saw, this is a more accurate. So it's up to you how to squeeze out all the information you can from the Brahma disciple. Just like a calf is sucking out the milk from the cow. How much juice and milk nectar you can squeeze out. You should be eager to squeeze as much juice you can get. Suck as much Logan you can get shoved down your throat. You have to want it to have the appetite. So while we're here, try to get as much information as Much understanding as you can to your full capacity, so that you can have that and preserve it in your own heart by discussing it like Dharma, keeping it fresh so it will be continued in the next generation. For you're only the responsible people to carry around. So generally, even in Maya, Bharat is plenty of Brahma disciples in Maya Lord, 50 or more. Still there are so many devotees. We hear from Prabhupada disciples. We also hear from the grand disciples. We hear from man and hear from William. Everybody have a chance to express using the treasure time. Also during helpers, they publish a local diaspuja book where the local devotees write their homages and put in a book for them. Then worldwide, they also have a vast Gucci book where theaters can send in their home, which is we have a local gas pusher book for all the devotees that can have a vintage for their office. You don't hear the book. Yes. So anyway, today since we have a double header, double festival. So remember how Krishna is rejoicing in Fariska. And it's also a big day of rejoicing. Rejoicing the presence of Krishna in the world and Krishna's pure devotee. Someone organized in those things. When I was Vishnu Prabhupada in Montreal in 1968 then he was very merciful to me. He told me that you come and you assist my secretary. So sometimes after finishing my work in the temple, I go and I get some personal service with Prabhupada. One time they said that originally Prabhupada was wearing this rock dye. Dodi means there was a kind of mati here in India called giro amati, some kind of earth in that earth that you just rub it in the water, two stones and the grassy and the color would come in the water. You put a white plant in there and the cloth would get colored. But this was not a permanent dye. When you wash the cloth that come out, you have a spot and wash the spot of your white spot. But it lasts for some time semi permanent. Later, Prabhupada accepted the permanent this traveling around, it was difficult with this stand up. Okay, if you're in ashram in India. But if you're traveling around the world, believe that in the cloth night you put in a washing machine. All the color will come out on this ear rock. We were at that time using this metal. So I was in the bathtub rubbing these rocks in the water. Because I would come in to see whether it had become become colored enough. To dye the cloth. You have to actually Have a very high percentage of that rock dissolved. So we are rubbing and rubbing and rubbing these two rocks, trying to dissolve it in the water. It was not dissolving very fast. The good one, you have to rub more. The one that comes out of that space in the cloud longer. So meanwhile, Robert went down to the basement. For some reason I don't know, the secretary went down to see what's in the basement. We were on the first war. There was also underground. They came out and the secretary came and said, oh, in the basement, Robert was walking one rat jump out. So it was very frightening. All of a sudden you don't expect it. Suddenly some animal jump out. You feel like, you know, some shock, surprise, maybe fear. But we don't know what animal it is. You know, suddenly something jumping at you. He said, when the animal jump reacts, Rav is the protector. So then the secondary was very impressed. How minutely some danger came. We don't know. Take some moment to realize what is the jumping at you. Then rain in the room. And then he says, okay, now you now finally got the color big enough that we have to die in his oti. Now we figured out the mix. More or less light color like this again is more reddish than yellow. So one time, Pagamuni, he purchased some Mercedes Benz small micro brands in Germany and drove them overland to India. Then he was doing library party with Ravi. Shawn was one of his library party leaders. And he had maybe six vans. I mean six or three. I did six. Actually, he sent a six party Riddlabadi who became later Bhakti Vikaswam while they were doing library party. What I remember pretty tough people at that time were under guard with me later became tough people. But they were secret devoted. They were all going out and they knew this was busy to grow. But they had to go and speak to the librarians, convince them to buy the whole set. This way they are putting all the libraries around India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, different places they bring. So they brought his vans over that time, Hamsaruta, he had one big bus. He was doing a traveling festival party When Garhodi had all his bands lined up. Quick distribution. Hansa only had one big bus. So then Prabhupada told man, no, I think that Gagamuni has defeated me. He's expanded more sometimes. Prabhupada used to build this brotherly competition to inspire before absolute. I was doing the specified specific thing. Thank you for watching our videos. Be sure to subscribe to our channel. We publish new videos every day and don't forget to like and share our channel.
