#JayapatakaSwamiArchives 2006 || Bhagavad-gītā Class || Chicago, US #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

Lecture by Jaya Pataka Swami (with multiple speakers) on Bhagavad-gītā teachings about achieving samadhi: one should become situated in trance by means of intelligence, conviction, meditation, and pratyahara (cessation of the senses). The speaker contrasts Bhakti Yoga (devotional practice/kirtan/nama-sankirtana) as a quicker route to samadhi with Hatha/physical-only yoga, emphasizes pleasing Krishna rather than seeking personal pleasure, and gives practical preaching advice (organizing attractive festivals, village programs, and a three-stage outreach: contact → cultivate → commitment). The talk interweaves scriptural citation, historical anecdotes, temple-management remarks, and outreach strategy.
Sa. Ram. Ram. Ram. Ram. Sa.
Gradually, step by step the full conference Shiv. One should become situated in trance of the self alone and should think of nothing else. Translation of repetition Gradually, gradually. Step by step. Step by step. With full conviction.
With full conviction.
Once you become situated in trance Once you become situated in trance by means of intelligence.
By means of intelligence.
And thus the mind should be fixed and thus the mind should be fixed on the self alone.
On the self alone.
And should think of nothing else.
And should think of nothing else.
By proper conviction and calendar one should gradually be cease sense activities. This is called Madhya. The mind being controlled by conviction, meditation and cessation of the senses should be situated.
So these festivals and Santain Yoga chapter of Bhagavad Gita as it is.
Are.
Applicable to all the yogas. Our children sitting at Kusa grass meditating on his clothes controlling your senses.
But.
The same state of consciousness fixed.
In Ka.
Is easily achieved by Kunova Christmas.
See you.
If he wants to see you establish but if he wants to see you.
I can see pictures of the students and the president's row top pickers. So he gives some award.
Anyway, the principle is that try to.
Please do something for Krishna and then he will be watching. One should think of no pleasure aside.
From the pleasure of pleasing himself.
Prabhupada was talking of the difference between Sahajiyas and rational.
In the Mayavadis they.
Want to merge and become God. So that's for their pleasure. They want to become one of God devotees one of the pleasure of God. But the other extreme, the Sahaja is they think that they create devotees on the Lord and they want to enjoy.
Through Krishna.
That's not so much. At least we're not aware of it. Not exposed to it so much. First time when I came to India in 1970.
And then.
People then lie.
Into him didn't sense that he had why Krishna disappears As.
We have these solid arranged temples.
Quite a complete service, quite a big responsibility.
Certain area just 520 years ago we are here. He's given us this opportunity to place him. My spreading is so I'm calling Yoga.
The same so.
And so one area.
For those who know it's about.
Hour.
And a half there the Kanam River. There's a little town there called Fish. So we have to do something.
Where's the nearest Namha?
Next to this region. Let's have a festival there one week on festival dramas feeds Hariyams different programs make it so attractive that some people consciousness.
So then many people want to Commit.
Themselves to a life based on Krishna consciousness. They don't come up. Hatha Yoga is the first step called Asana of the control of the senses.
In the purported text 27 and 28.
Chapter 5.
Chapter 5, 6, 27, 28.
After strengthening one principles of liberation of the supreme. The Lord gives instructions to our Judas as to love. When there is the hazard of being attracted by sin subjects.
The breathing movement is restrained within the.
Nostrils by neutralizing the up and down movement. Air moving the air through the body Before a river is double. Maybe that goes to the Great Lake also. And the chants before the confluence of two rivers is 10 names. If you chant before a holy river, it's a hundred things. If the chant is really like the chant before the Ganges, it's a hundred thousand times. If the chant before.
The.
Sometimes.
That'S.
More of a therapist congregation.
But other things right now.
Getting in.
On that very early. And then we're doing Wednesday and Friday. So within one hour Sydney and he had a faithful God. And they started to organize Hindi groups that attracted the name of our Hindi.
IT.
Personal secretary.
Straighten my ankle before I got there. Some of them were like gymnastics and dance and jump up, slip around that neck and anything. I don't know.
The captain.
So listen.
And I contacted the most before the game. People came from all over West Africa. It was like 50 devotees in Nigeria. Hello guys, want to hear about ceremony? Because I was there. Sold us at a very low price 2 acres of land on the side.
Of the Godami River.
And this is the Gotam Muni Ghat is a big statue of Motohunida and everything that was signed in the valley. But two days before the temple was to be inaugurated. We were afraid. And there was four feet of water. The temple basically temple ground floor. The temple floor deities are essentially the second floor. So they were really depressed. Hope to have people who were inadequate. They had the lamps throughout the second floor. And when the roots went out and redo the installation right along the road they built the Bodice temple mortises that already blossom on the river. It was blossoming in the water. As we went through the electric building on the different ceremonies of the daily installation the borough wonder started to recede. By the time the dinosaur installed the.
Bar and his son.
Wow.
Sorry.
Sam. Ram, Ram, Ram, Ram. Sa it. Ram Ram it. Okay.
Is there a verse that you follow?
I want you 16.
Sama.
One should become situated in trance by means of intelligence and thus divine should be free. Should do not reflect on the self alone and should think of nothing else. Translation of repetition Gradually, gradually. Step by step. Step by step. With full conviction. With full conviction. One should become situated in trance. One should become situated in trance by means of intelligence. By means of intelligence and thus divine. And thus the mind should be fixed on the self alone. On the self alone. And should think of nothing else. And should think of nothing else. For work I shall know about thee my power Revolution intelligence. One should gradually cease sense activities. This is called pratyahara. The mind being controlled by and meditation and cessation of the senses should be.
Situated.
In trance or samadhi. At that time there is no longer any danger of becoming involved, engaged rather in the material conception of life. In other words, the loved one is.
The vow of.
As long as the material body exists, one should not think about sense gratification. One should think of no pleasure aside from the pleasure of the supreme self. This state is all easily attained by directly practicing Ka consciousness.
So these principles in Sanjay Yoga chapter Bhagavad Gita as it is are applicable to all Ayogas. To become swim and chants to face the mind of the self, think of nothing else, of transcendental thoughts.
Do this.
By meditation. Yelling or yelling over or other processes of yoga is more difficult. Prophet said this thing is easily attained by directly practicing Krishna. Apparently Krishna is talking about.
Arjuna sitting.
Like kusa grass, meditating on his goals, controlling his senses. But the same state of consciousness fixed in Krishna is easily achieved by devotee achieves his pratyahara detachment from the material world by being attached to pleasing Krishna. Places of him please, you should be given pleasure. We should try to seek Krishna. We should try to seem like Krishna. We should try to serve the Lord so that he'll be pleased with us. Someone says, how can we say Krishna? How do you see God? The problem is to say rehearsal. But if you are trying to serve Krishna and please him, then he's like this is that he wants to see you. He wants to see you with his darkness. You want to see the heaven save the king, the president. It's not so easy. You have to go through all kinds of protocols. But the thing wants to see you.
And.
You see pictures of students and the presidents who all the top Ashalam, the students in the country or someone who's done some great service in the country and the persons that want to meet her, he gives him a hoard. Olympics see the president retired from America, uk, Russia, two countries.
Some of the.
Big entries and others. Anyway, the principle is try to please do something for Krishna and Then he will be watching the eyes.
Rather than.
Leave this one in the Sidi. Also our dreams were sort of said. One should think of no pleasure aside from the pleasure of himself. First impression of no pleasure apart from the pleasure of seeing the sin himself. Pressure of these things. Prabhupada was talking of the difference between Sahaji and Vaishnavas in the Mayavadis. They want to merge and become God. So that's for their pleasure. They want to become God, a wonder of God.
Devotees want the pleasure of God.
But the other extreme, the Sahajas, they think that they have made the bodies of the Lord and they want to.
Enjoy.
Through Krishna, enjoy Krishna's pastimes, enjoy Krishnas darshan.
So the focus is slightly different. When I think, well, I am now a Gopi or I am a conqueror boy or whatever. You have to imagine that there is some great glory that says you can just imagine.
It's come down a lot.
At least we're not aware of it, not exposed to it so much. First time when I came to. I remember in India in 1970 and then we were doing programs in Kolkata preparing for Prabhupada's coming or after those. Remember one time we went to one house. We were house program. All of a sudden he came in the middle of the living room where we were doing prayer. The Krishna was in this house. But the lords were like looking at each other. What are we supposed to lose.
Krishna.
And people didn't buy into it, didn't sense that he had that little quality of white. Krishna disappears as being in front of everyone. So one way was all over. He was watching, he lost interest. Like Krishna disappeared. So we got exposed to his hand.
Thanks.
They put out a show that Krishna is there to get some kind of name or fame that reacts to great glory which is coming. So this type of thing called. So we want to place this. We have these installed our temples. I would like to welcome here the General President from St. Louis responsibility come to see his neighbors here Chicago. Being a temple president is quite a complete service and quite a big responsibility. Certain area of the country is there to be delivered. And the organization of the right initiative is done by temple president, temple boards, temple management teams and how to bring Christian consciousness. But here in Chicago Assassin was Chicago's.
Second la.
Second Chicago.
Standing soul.
And K what you tagging him? Just 520 years ago he appeared and he's given us this opportunity to please.
Him.
By spreading the Sankirta and movement. Sankirta moving is so.
Special.
That even devotees associates of Lord Marshall came down from the spiritual world.
In.
Order to please the Lord in this special Dilla.
Just like.
Krishna karmic voice know Krishna taking out the calves in the forest playing games with Krishna and Kali Yoga the same.
So.
Krishna did this Kawari Villa Kushiko Rashtra Hiller Krishna Gauravar Yida and Kali became his glory type to do the Sankhitar. There's the pastime of Sri Ram.
And.
Lord Nithyananda went to Vrindavan that time he knew that Sri Ram was in the Kobedran cave Shri Dam was on the Christmas cower boy. So he didn't go back after the Angus just take a little break from the 5,000 4,500 years and a little rest in Vana. Sri Srinanga calling Srila Srila come out. So who are you? I'm Balay. So now it's Kali Yuga. So I come in this one. Well, if you're really bored. If you're really boring. And he was the only one who could beat me on the race and I'll go downhill. Well then you know it's a race. Let's see if you really belong. And he marked and said go start running. I'll go it. This is probably the first over at 26 kilometers an hour.
Marathon.
So running in a marathon while you're on the forward downhill running the following backside. So what do you miss one? What's happening? You see Kanay as the karma boyars called him for Krishna. So Saint Krishna became.
He said.
I'm going to go and join him. Want to come have a good time. Says sure, I'd love to go seek and I help him. So then you got here. You're the rough. Okay, you're to come back from. You got to come down to K. Put his hand down, shrunk him down. So he came K Ravi Ram.
So then.
So you can see that throughout Abhidham Sankur he went back to Bhagavan Tanana. Later after Lord Suzannay went to Jhangalapuri and then was asked like what Chitangya. You should go back to Vengala and finish what we started. We started Sankirtan movement but we didn't finish it. It was loved Bengal. She had to go back and finish that. He's allowed to take some helpers with me, so it's okay.
Next.
So one of the persons he took was Abhiram. They went back and as they went.
Around.
Would assign a particular area.
To.
Each of the associates to become the Zonal secretary become the personal secretary of response in that area. And so one area in Hugli district, for those who know the how it's.
From.
Our Calcutta is the Kana River. There's a little town there called Fishing.
And there.
Right angle of the 1980s where his dad was up. Interesting thing, when Shiva got shut down, he went to his wound and pulled out a hair. And towards the moon out came a lotus with a little baby. A baby girl. She's holy God. So she got to the K River, grew up on the other side of the river. There became this consulate. She said he married twice.
Time.
Hello, cell phones off. So what's interesting was Sid Nikita Nana would go around, make her tourists and see the different devotees. And then would get their reports how the Krishna consciousness was being spread. Shalim, one of the disciples at Krishna Gitis made a temple very close to his temple. So there was a competition, all the devotees were playing.
Around.
So then he told them that.
Will.
The additional arm be a little further away. They got their timing off different strategies. And then apparently we had a map dog. I went over the map to see what every village, every town was covered. So then. So what happened about this village? So that when there's no other bodies, no nama at us, right? This is not interested. So we have to do something. Where's the nearest Nauh or the next brothers of Namah? What's the festival there? And the one people on the festival jamas feeds Ariana student programs will make it so attractive that some people from that of curiosity, I know what's going on. And then. So they organized this festival. Sure enough we came. There's a foundational teaching formula of three Cs call contact, cultivate and commitment. You first contact somebody. When friends with them also lay down health and relationship. And then as their complications go out, they want to commit themselves to boost your consciousness. You have to have this. It takes the place when people come by making the contact with their names. Get the details and write them again. Nice achievement. So make a good solid contact and then cultivate them. After that they bring them back, sit down the lost program. And then from there when they come to the innovative taste of Krishna consciousness, then they see that there's so much happiness and peace in Krishna. Do you think there's happiness and sense gratification? The real happiness is. So then there is. People want to commit themselves to a life based on Krishna consciousness. How many here are already committed to bodies of serving Krishna? So this is. This is the kind of they did that kichik and sure enough they got some good contacts in their Buddhist. They started Maha, the village like this. They were going village by village, town by town how to spread Krishna consciousness. Coming down from the spiritual world and planning out the development of Krishna consciousness and the areas assigned to them by robotic. So this is what we have an area for preaching and that's called a Guru Dattadesh, the area given to us by the guru. And then we try to develop that area. Someone may be America, maybe someone's ruled out today. It's just their, their home. There's still such this thing happened Lake I went to see Roy Chattania and Roy Chattania I said, well, how's the. How's the sale going? Because they're offering only nine out of three anybody who had leveled that way Krishna, he said the Bible is saturated everybody's love. So I remember years ago when I was a kid, there was a big grace of Hulu and so everybody, pretty soon everybody had a Hulu. It was like in the session. So when that happens and everybody's Krishna conscious, then the propaganda propagation of Krishna consciousness will be a little more tough. We don't have that problem of who.
Are.
Ready, need the mercy of Ka. So this is our yoga. There are a lot of buildings doing Hatha yoga when they don't come up with Hatha Yoga is the first step of the Ashtandi yoga system and pranayama Samadhi. So they just doing the asanas without any control of the senses, power rules. There is no rules, no control of the senses. But you have detachment. No detachment, just the asanas. So the all everything of the satisfaction. Maybe they're working out, but then they're missing out on the real satisfaction. Buddha is not the yoga system. The ultimate goal is to be with Samadhi meditating on the Lord. So now because it's become very popular among to do Vajras kick.
Do the.
Yoga asanas for health. When they do Bhajanshah, they may feel more happiness in the bhajans in the kirtan scene. So it's become a big diagonal. I'm told to bring in Bhajan singers to the yoga groups. In some places the devotees are doing bhajan devotees. But like in Los Angeles, I think yoga vajans in Sydney we have a Vajra center, a yoga center on Saturdays in the Vajra, more people going to do vajras in the yoga practices. But I was told there by the person that has the yoga retreat and build up a space maybe 800 people for $80 each and we sang Three Hours of Freedom. So somehow we're like dispassing as bias. But to some extent this is a good scope. If we display low. I go to my chance with the yoga groups. I was just at a yoga group in Rome, the Amrita yoga group. And I made a presentation there. Bhakti Yoga and some panchanas. People are very happy here from wherever we have meaning. So this is another strategic not proselytizing or just sitting there going through my time and their yoga groups and the grass or something. Having yoga lessons yourself.
Back to yoga.
Along with the other lesson some of our Christian life was still doing in Hong Kong and China where it's difficult to direct the Greeks back to yoga through yoga introduce adventure. There's other than astags of yoga groups out there and to do programs for them. That's the easy as long as they don't feel threatened. And still the people encourage them to do the over silence of Rajah. So we become the white people outsourcing. That's what I bring down my sibling. So anyway, to break the account to feel if that kind of result quickly you have to go through the eight levels. You find it?
Yes.
Paragraph or just the list. It's actually chapter 5, text 20. It's in the purport to text 27 to 28. Chapter 5, chapter 5, text 27, 2018.
After explaining the above parcels of liberation and the supreme, the Lord gives instruction to our children as to how one can come to that position. When the practice of mysticism or yoga known as Ashta yoga, which is the visible Eightfold procedure called Yama niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. In the sixth chapter, the subject of dog is explicitly detailed. And at the end of the fifth preliminary explaining, one has to drive out distance objects such as sound, touch, form, taste and smell. But the pratyahara breathing process ignore it and then keep the vision of the eyes between the two eyebrows. There's no benefit in closing the eyes altogether because then there's every chance of falling asleep. There is noise of anything opening the eyes completely. Because then there is the danger of being attracted by sense objects. The breathing movement is the stream within the masters. By neutralizing up and down movement, air moving air within the body. The practice is such so that one is able to be controlled over the senses refrain from outward sense objects and thus prepare oneself for liberation of the supreme. So we have here Yava niyana asana pranayama Pratyahara. So the Hatha yoga is the asana part. Before the people do the asana they learn from practice of different kriyas in the ashram, different activities. Otherwise look at Krishna, look at the babies. You can change up and look for the babies. A Vegeta Pamphrana. To chant before a river is double. Maybe that goes for the Great Lake also. Every chance before the confluence of two rivers is 10 times. If you cheer before a whole universe, it's a hundred times. If you chant you fleming before the Ganges, it's a hundred thousand times. If you chant before a Tulsi plan, it's 10 million times. And if you chant before the babies, it's on.
The sun.
Doesn'T take so long before we get a small bunch of tantra in my.
Ladies.
So this Bhakti Yoga takes you to samadhi very quickly doing the regulations of Bhakti Yoga. Therefore it's recommended easily be achieved.
By.
Directly practicing Krishna practices.
It Saturday night.
Baja had been here for months and we gradually worked up to.
And.
That'S another program that we're doing. But that's not service. That's the. So he has a program called interrelated Project and Saturdays he organizes cost programs. And so yeah, this kind of program Francisarta was doing with the youth in Alachoa where someone would be littering towns when he would hear come.
So they.
All have papers from Ktown and they learn Khan so going around the room everyone will lead a little more involved than just following. So it's so popular that.
Now we.
Have over that's more fixed congregation all the time. There's other things going on.
No, I was just following on that principle of going to people's homes. Going to people's homes and doing bhajan programs. Keeping prasadam very simple and like you said, you name different encouraging everyone to participate. And then what happens especially with the young people. We will put the bhajan zakaria on chantbehappy.com and they're learning them and they want to bleed and everybody's giving in on the app. It's very encouraging. And then when you're doing Wednesday and then Friday night instead of being tempted to go elsewhere for sense gratification they're going to Pajan program.
Yeah, six years.
It really purifies the home to have all the vice Venice coming.
In the Middle East. There was someone who was leading the naata in the beginning he would have programmed himself and then he would location from India. And he asked one of the other leading glories to thank the God of my house. Then when I came to visit, the glory said about the kitchen in the house. There was better relationships to serving the Vaishnavas in this way. That's amazing for rotating.
Then the different people that are coming, they can also help because there's always some prasadam and different families can cook something and bring too. Kind of like transcendental potluck so that the host isn't unnecessarily burdened.
Yeah, you know.
It'S higher in America for weekdays. People are addicted in. That's excuse. Thank you for watching our video. Be sure to subscribe to our channel. We publish new videos every day. And don't forget to like and share our channel.
