A short multi-speaker excerpt from a Jayapataka Swami talk emphasizing the importance of hearing and reading the scriptures. Swami warns against laziness in studying Shastra, argues that scriptural knowledge strengthens faith and protects against confusion, and points to Lord Chaitanya and following Prabhupada's teachings as the practical path to developing love for Krishna.
So don't be alas or among us when it comes to discussing the conclusions of the scriptures. Because it makes our mind fixed, strengthened Amazon firmly attached to Lord.
She reached the Bhagavan. He died.
He should not be Malasa. When it comes to studying the conclusion of the scripture, some people think that.
This chanting is okay. Why should we read and study?
When we had our Ishtagosthi, some people.
Said when they read they fall asleep. Hard work. So some may say, no need of reading. We'll just go pleading Krishna, give us mercy. But here Lord Chaitanya is teaching us that if we are not Malas for.
Studying the Scriptures, we're going to get.
Sudhirina Bisha, Sudhira Shraddha. We're going to get a very strong theme. Sometimes people don't know the Shastra and they get bewildered.
Someone challenges them.
Why do you worship Krishna? All the gods are the same. So why you a worshipping Christians or what you? And if they don't know the answer?
In the Bhagavad Gita, in all the Veda, even in the real Veda, it.
Says.
Supreme original Christ of all kinds of.
This is what we have to know the scripture inside and out. Prabhupada said we should know the conclusions. We want all of you to get this mercy, but don't take it. Part of it is to know the scripture. Otherwise you may get confusion, you get some different wrong ideas and you won't get that same feeling of bliss.
So while understanding details, so you understand how wonderful Krishna is to come down and speak about what Gita for all of us. How Lord Chaitanya, so mercenary, came as a devotee to teach us how to love Krishna. So how many of you want to.
Have love for Krishna?
The shortest cut is following Prabhupada's teachings.
