A recorded Bhāgavatam class and devotional session led by Jaya Pataka Swami (Melbourne). The speaker analyzes passages about Bali Maharaja (Canto 8, chapter 20, texts 15–18), including Sanskrit word-analysis, theological points about opulence as a gift from Vishnu, Bali’s devotion despite a curse from his guru Sukracharya, and narrative episodes (Vishnu’s dwarf avatar, offering of land and worship). The transcript contains interjections from other speakers and a closing subscription prompt.
Bashala. You have become a so called learned person as a disobeying order. Because of disobeying me, you shall very soon be bereft of all your obstacles. Although you have no knowledge, you become a so called during this. Therefore you dare me. So says that Bali Maharaja was not only Jama or one who falsely assumes himself learned. Rather he was Manita Manya Gya. One who is so learned that all other learned persons worship him. In Sanskrit, the way you combine words, there's certain rules like combine. Like here it says Pan Vita and it's spelled M A N Y J, right? So the way that sugar chariot meant it was Pandita Mani Mahi Agn. Someone who thinks he's Upandi for his actions of fool. But the way that Vishwam Chakravarti is dividing it differently, it's actually the word Bhagatamajanya is all written as one word in Sanskrit. One composite word. The way that he divides it is Pandita Mana means respected, was respected by hundreds and sort of many. Sometimes like it says something. But Vaisara Suakti is arrangement. It can have two meanings. So this other meaning is what actually Vishona Chakravira Takras is really is the position of Bali Maharaja. Inadvertently what Sukracharya said could be taken of this way as well. So I continue from all this purport. Because Bali Maharaj was so learned he could disobey the order of his so called spiritual master. He had no fear of any condition of material existence. Anyone cared for by Lord Vishnu does not need to care about anyone else. Thus Bali Maharaj could never be bereft of all opulences. The opulence is offered by the simple personality of God himself are not to be compared to the opulence is obtained by Karma Konda. In other words, if a devotee becomes very opulent, it is to be understood that his opulence is a gift of the supreme personality of guided. Such opulences will never be vanquished. Whereas the opulence achieved by one's fruitive activity may be vanquished. If people the next three verses don't have any purport. So we'll read those two. Sukadev Goswami continued. Even after being cursed in this way by his own spiritual master, Bali Maharaja, being a great personality, never deviated from his determination. Therefore, according to God's he first offered water to Ramanadeva and Then offered him the gift of land he had. Mali, Maharaj's wife, known as Bin Galilee, was decorated with a necklace of pearls. Immediately came and had a large golden water pot brought there full of water, with which to worship the Lord by washing his feet. The worshipper of Amen and Devil jubilantly washed the lotus feet of the Lord and then took the water on his head. For that water delivereth the entire universe. Okay, less ends would like to be done with this swami. Translation and burpoints for Canto 8, chapter 20, text 15 through 18 the Bali Maharaj had so much respect for the Brahman. The Asuras tend to be more materialistic. But some of the very great assurances also have all the respect for the Roman prophets Sajara Sannam, who agreed to fight with Bhima because Cain and Subrahman and Big. He said, what do you want me to do? He said, I want to fight with you.
So.
Ali was technically the family of Surah because he was also a grandson of Prahlat. He was also a devotee Asura and he had been worshipping Vishnu, by which worshiping Vishnu he had conquered over the universe and defeated his half brother Indra. The Daityas and the Devas are half brothers. Vaijas are coming from DT and the Devas are coming from Aditi, who are two wives of Kasyama. So the lead demons and Devas actually related, but they have totally two different natures. In this case, Bali Maharajs were alive. They were devoted Vaishnava, righteous. So although they maintained any of the 19 qualities, but at the same time they worshiped Yeshua. After worshipping Vishnu and following his Guru, he had successfully conquered over the universe and displaced Indra Santiti who heard the masters to get her a son.
Back.
Out of its side. Her Baba today as her child who's the Lord herself. And as a result, then in Rabbat Obama lady just came on his own presented itself. So then Bali ask him, what do you want? I'll give you some vaccine. So now I listed a simple realm, three steps, all these to come on. I can give you a whole planet, the king of the universe. Or I can give you a whole planet. You're married, I can give you a nice bride. So many things. You know what? Tell me what you want. I don't know what she'll be greeting. If that's all you want. Okay, that's why I'll give you that. The Tracharyan, he scopes out the whole situation. So this is not ordinary. Dwarf. This is Vishnu. What he can take in three steps obtain the whole universe. There will be nothing left. My disciple who came in the universe said a lot of hard work. We now went to this position. Always came to the universe. He gave some very big dashing. If he loses everything, I'm going to be the guru of a proper. So then he started giving all kinds of weird advice. You should use the super English. You should just see greater promise. But you can just say, look, in the world there are certain times when promises can be, you know, like overlooked. It's kind of interesting. Well, it's kind of okay to tell white lies. Therefore the safe case is to say no. Although it is a falsehood, it protects one completely. It draws the compassion of others toward oneself. The poor guy is so retired. It gives one full facility to collect money from others or for oneself. Whether it's profitable to tell lies. Nonetheless, if one always believes that he has nothing, he is condemned. For he is a dead body while living. But while still breathing, he should be killed. If you're always lying, then it's not good. You have to some kind tell the truth. So says if flattering a woman to bring her under control. The supercharged guru of the demons. Aren't you so beautiful in choking in a marriage ceremony. And they say that to finalize the marriage and they have to say so many things. Because in India, while somebody was married, there was no divorce amongst the Hindus. So there's a go called bar story that how as soon as the marriage was finalized, there's like certain ceremony. They create a mango sutra. You do this can't go back now. It's finished. So in this, as soon as that was done, then the band of the groom side started playing a song. We got the better deal.
