This is a recorded lecture by Jaya Pataka Swami recounting the appearance and pastimes (Gaura-līlā) of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda, set against the social and religious context of medieval Bengal. The speaker contrasts scholarly/panditical ritualism and demigod worship with pure bhakti (devotional service), emphasizes the yuga-dharma of chanting the holy names, and narrates birth and childhood episodes (auspicious signs, naming ceremonies) that signal the divine mission to spread congregational chanting.

8,430,000 years.
5,000 years after Krishna's appearance.
13th day of the waxing moon during the month of Magha (as stated in the lecture).
Ram it it Ram Sami Sam. Once in the day of Brahma. 8,430,000 years. 8 billion. Once in this day of Brahma descends after Krishna descends. Krishna comes from the spiritual world, visits His Majesty. It was predicted that 5,000 years after Krishna's appearance, he would appear again in the modern age of Kali disguised as a devotee, accompanied by his eternal associates and his expansions. In the 15th century, the eternal associates of Chaitanya Mahathra descended from the spiritual worlds. And too bad birthday in Naval and also many other places. Nature, birth Sam places like Saptagram, Radha Dish, Radish, where the Ganges doesn't flow. In Orissa, Ramananda Rai, Bhavananda Rai, his four brothers, Sri Hatha, Purinagan and some in the West. Most of the associates of words in Turkey appeared in Namibui. Including many appear in East Bengal in a village known as Sri Hatta. You know where Sri Hatta is? Here. That's a strange. That's the English way. And I spelled Sri Hata. S, Y, L A C. Tulet was Sri Hatter. His name was Sri. Doesn't make any sense. Sri the Sri. Fabulous. So some of the people that were up here in Sriha, Srivas, Pandey, Ram Pandu, Chandrasekhar. Then there was another place, Kundrigram. Then there was also Mukunda Datta. There was another person who appeared in Eastern God still operating. V H A V E S A. But the B is with the bat on it. Everybody knows the Radish. It's actually Ra all around. He came down the planet Earth in the family of the pure Brahman. In the land of Bengal, where the Ganges does not flow. If you end up here, There was a rain of flowers from the heavens. The earth was blessed with Baloram's return. Everything was prepared for the Lord's descendants. In the sacred town of Babylon, the city of Mamadi, Income parallel, situated on the banks of the sacred Ganges River. Hundreds, thousands of people were bathed on the sacred Ganges river every day. All the light were gathered together in this worship of the Ganges River. Navadin was a city of great scholars and professors. PhDs were not created yet, but they were the equivalents. Even young scholars who had little learning would challenge older professors to test his own scholarship in comparison with others. Ask some tough questions to see whether the old professor could answer. He couldn't answer. You could answer wrong. You won't. So debating. Scholarship was a city of scholastic pursuit, a center of learning. But it was a matter of great Sorrow for the devotees. Because nobody, hardly anybody, but few, but very few were actually interested in devotion to Lord Ka. The general mass of people were either with scholarship or worshipping some nindigad many gods. It was predicted that Khalayuna would become devoid of emotion. People would become absorbed in materialistic activities. So now the first symptoms of this are becoming visible in all of you. Still filled with Vedic culture, filled with religion, but no God consciousness. They had many kinds of religious activities. They worshipped the demigoddess, Manvel, Chakli, the shahadi. They are very proud of their worship of the different deities and devas. They are devoid of your devotion for the supreme Lord. They have simply worshipped his subordinate. Many gods for getting material facilities and benedictions. They make a big public show. They would install dolls from different demigods and goddesses, worship them and offer gifts. Then they would take the dolls of the demigods and goddesses and tell them in the river and worship their Lord with a big popish show. We do an elaborate worship for one or two days and a big procession of the daily magic. So you can go now. The so called highest people were involves this impermanent form for worship rather than worshipping the supreme Lord. There are some people in India who think that all the gods who are equal gods of goddesses, the Vaishnavas know that they're supreme lord. Just like in Christianity or Islam. The original Vedic Srimatuna Dharma, the believed Eka Brahma duty of nasty one supreme absolute truth no second to him. But the general population sometimes don't understand. They just think it's all 1. Worship Kali, worship Krishna. You worship anybody in form of saint. So that's their misconception. So it's very painful for the pure devotees of Krishna because by mixing everything up like that they offensive and they don't get the real value. Because it's easier to worship the demigods and they'll worship the demigods. Respectful, respectable, peaceful families of Ramana study the leaders of which part are the leaders. The part are told how to have a happy, peaceful, sensual, good family life. They wouldn't read the conclusion of the Vedas how to save yourself from the repetition of birth and death. They'll be attached and come again and again and again. Someone might be able to do austerities and penances. If he was able to. Then he became very proud and he would in his false proud that I am very vain renunciated. He wouldn't chant the names Kaliyuga. What is the authorized process we thought to chant these prime names of the Supreme Lord. It would be offensive. It would destroy the power of the Holy Name. So only would they chant when they were bathing in the Ganges. And they thought that by the touch of the Ganges they have become pure. Then when they're in the Ganges, they would chant finish. And this card says that don't change the name of God in vain was so consumant. Don't chant it at all. They wouldn't chant it at all except when they were bathing. And again, because they thought that time the long being made pure. Pure, they took it to the extreme. They were scholars. She went by a hotel. But no one would explain them according to Bhakti Yoga, except a few pure devotees of Krishna. Most of these were the devotees who had descended down to receive the Supreme Lord, who is the supreme Lord coming down in Bhakavita. They would daily chant. They would perform devotional service, bath in the Ganges, clean the temple, serve the deities of the Lord, take charyami to everyone in charm. That little bowl over there with the white liquid, it's called Chanarita, recommended to take one dose a day, three drops, sip it, put it on your head and wash your hand. That gets rid of a calm and Jahara untising. That gives Risha Garosha very important medicine. So the role is regularly take cherry. If you wanted to glass with the cross of it. There's a little white glass there. We don't change. It's up to you if you want to do. Welcome to Lijiah, Minister of Book distribution. So when they go on the gantis and they would chantarika Krishna. Oh, even when they went to the Ganges, they finished their vat. Then they would, after doing their prayers and Pujas, the devotees of chi and outside Jabra Kyutan, glorifying the Holy Name Lord and materialistic Brahmas and pandits who criticized them, establishes that devotion to the Lord without desire for material benefit, without desire for mystic power, without desire for liberation, is the highest perfection of life. Although there is pyramids would read Bhagavad and they would study Sinmad Bhagavatam. They could never figure out or explain devotional service as the purpose of life, only purpose of life. The purpose of devotional activities, according to them was to enhance your sense character. This was pundits were actually bandits stealing away the real purpose of life. They would tell people, have a good birth, material happiness, material learning, be beautiful, have good children. There's no other purpose of life. And finally when everything is complete and you'll enjoy it to the full, then merge into your mount Jodi, finish them all. This was non relief to the pure devotees. They were feeling great sadness and care. All these big pandits, scholars they know the Bahuida might hire it all the Slokas do they give a misinterpretation, no Bible. What is the use of all their learning? What's the danger when people go to university to study theology? Because the theologists principle is that you must not believe in what you teach, you must destroy it. Don't believe in anything then you're neutral, objective. I press the theologian theological. I know they got seven there whatever in Berkeley they allow people that believe in their religion but I think that's the only one. The danger is you don't believe it is normal. Hindus say this, Christians say this, Buddhist say this. What do you believe? I don't believe in it. I believe the scientists indeed that's the danger. Krishna consciousness is based on not only belief but on realization experience. So all these people were all not experiencing the highest bliss. The devotees wanted them to give the mercy. They were saying to Krishna please give these people your mercy. They tried themselves to preach to the misled, misdirected violence but instead they were attacked more vigorously. Who do you think you are to tell us we are the Maha Maha bond meat, Maha Shari. They're proud of their acknowledges. I know the Bhagavad Gita by heart, every word forwards, backwards. Bhagavad Gita tells us be a pious man and enjoy life. This is the whole point. So the devotees were sad to see they're all forgetful of Ka. How they could be so totally bewildered by the Wuzhou energy and accept sense gratification as the goal of life. They were deprived of the real nectar of pure devotional service to Ka. It was the degradation of Ramanuka culture. Brahma means to know Brahma to know the absolute truth. But instead they were just dealing with the material energy. That's why getting Prabhupada's books are so important because of the Bhaktivedantha purports. Some people read the Bhagavad Gita and I just put some. This is why Prabhupada said in the introduction 400 different Bible readers but it's without war and so they get all kinds of amazing into that interpretations. So he gave Bhagavad Gita as it is to give us a direct true understanding. So because these Pandyats we're beginning, the decorative beginning, the deviation pure wash their hands so many umpteen times after going to the toilet following all the radical rules. Wash them out 12 times after passing stool 16 times after eating. They look at all the purification rights step on everybody's shelves. They follow all the rules, but they missed the point. So they're the beginning of the end from there just a little bit north and after. Well now you got people that are going to whether they clean, whether. Oh my goodness. Some of them were not only worshipping demi goddesses but demi denigoddesses like Vasuli Yakshi. These are just. I mean Yaksha is offering wine and meat to demons beginning and the end. Now they take wine and meat but they don't offer it to the demons. Not at least they offer it. So the materialistic Brahmans are now the need to end all this difficulty. All the Vaishnavas gathered together at the house of Advaita Gosay every hour, some hours every day. Advaita Prabhu was the topmost spiritual master at the time. He would explain according to pure devotional service. He would explain Krishna is the essence. He would practice his devotional service in home offering Tulsi flowers along with Ganges water to Ka with great enthusiasm and devotion in association of a great ring of Sai. The Vaishnavas were feeling great ecstasy, great enthusiasm, devotion. Advaita Goswami was respected by everyone for his learning and seniority as a Brahman and especially for the pure Vaishnavas. He gave them unlimited happiness. No Nagade, he had a house too. He had a house in Shankarpur. And then I was in Naval right next to Shiva as Thakwood's house. As it is explained here. Adriatic moved to Navande from Santipur in order to promote the devotional service to Lord Ka. Other devotees of the ad gathered to take association with Advaita Prabhu. Some of them were Siva is Pandit and his three brothers Ram, Sri Ram, Sri Panti and R. Nidhi. Then also attend the class of Srimad Bhagavata given by way to Acharya. Other devotees were Sri Chandrasekhar Jagadisha Pandita Gobinath Pandita Sriman Pandit Murarigupta Jaruda Pandit and Gangadas Pandit Sri Lanka with the with his brothers Hare Krishna. When he heard these Brahmanas attacking Shiva responded to pure demonia. He became angry like fire and he stood up and he declared in the assembly of devotees Listen to me Srivas Gangana Sukhrumbar. Listen I am going to bring Krishna before the vision of everyone in this world. Ka himself will come in this world. And he will personally deliver all that condition souls. What is real, he will teach what is real Devotional service to Ka. What is Ka Bhakti? If I am not able to do it, then from this body I am going to personally manifest my forehead and form with my Suryasan chakra. And I will cut all these atheists into the little pieces. So Dvaita Charya was actually partial incarnation of Krishna. Who is he? Mahavishna. Mahavishnava Tara. He's responsible to create the unlimited material universes. He was getting frustrated with all these materialistic problems. But he wanted to deliver them. If you can't deliver them by John way, they're also delivering. But he was successful. He brought down Rajataria. So we're all grateful to Adrive Acharya that he wanted to bring down. He wanted to induce the Lord and come down and personally preach. Said his name is Advaita. Advaita means non different. He's Advaita Crya. If I'm not able to bring the Lord down into this world, what is the use of being Advaishta Acharya? And if I can bring him down, then my name will be fulfilled. It will be the purpose of his name would be fulfilled. He wanted to establish that the spiritual master is not different from the Lord. Therefore he can bring down the Lord. I'm going to bring my Kundalin reward of the spiritual worlds. Here in this material world visible to everyone who will dance, you will chant the holy names. He will deliver all the conditioned souls. This is my firm determination that I must do this. Saying this, Advaita Goswami made a vowel and began to worship Krishna's daughter's feet with great determination. With pure devotion, he would take Tulasi, Manjaris and Ganges water, offer them to Shaligram Srila. And he would chant loudly the holy names. And he would cry in the separation of the Lord, pleading to him to come. And he would be fasting his love crying was so determinated, was so powerful that the sound vibration penetrated the universe and reached to the spiritual world. Hearing the loud crying of a Tytan Gosai, Lord Krishna was brought under the influence of his own devotees love and out of his cause of mercy decided to descend to the material world. On the request of Advaita Gosai. It is considered by all the authorities that Advaita Gosai request was an impetus. It was the cause for Lord Chaitanya Mahara to agree to the sin of the material world. At the same time Harida's tambour drew by into our greatest house in Shantipur at Fulayagram. Fuli gramma is where Tawal Krishna Maharaj left his body. There Adidas was praying to Ka to descend to the material world and spread his own devotional service among the misdirected and Krishna school. So when he agreed to come, he said his own expansion the origin of an unsunaid to take birth in the 13th day of the waxing moon during the month of Magga in February, Lord Balarama appeared as Shree. His mother's name, father's name. Well, ladies. And number. Okay, man. All right. In the town, in the village, in the part of Bengal known as what doesn't flow there so spiritually. That's important because the Ganges doesn't flow there. When the Ganges flow so spiritually more important. So Nithyananda appeared there to deliver the people of that place where the Ganses isn't flowing. So this is also rare grace, right? Which river flows here? Didn't he cry here before it leaves? Didn't he say they're so merciful? And isn't this a holy place? Okay, tell you what. You bring some chatteloo water for the hobby Sh and we'll pour some of the china back. You're chatting. Balaram is representative. Nithyananda is representative of Balaram. Spiritual master is also represented. Balaram is Balaram spiritual minister represented Balram and says and Chet that Balaram supplies us spiritual strength. Who needs spiritual strength, who occasionally gets attacked by Maya. And Guru is the manifestation of mercy of Krishna. According to Chaitanya, Tavara appeared in Icha Chakra as Nityana. Everything was auspicious. No hardship, no suffering. After the appearance of Nitaya, demigods arrived from higher planets and watched the birth of the personality of Godhead. They were dancing, they were jubilant. They began to play music, sing the glories of Lord Nityananda. The heavens were resounding and with beautiful vibrations. And the people on earth they were feeling all happy. From the heavens they threw flowers over the birthplace of Nityananda. It was like a rain of flower petals on the earth. Nikonanama gives our pure devotional service very easily. He is the incarnation of Lord Balaram himself in spiritual strength to minimum. So Balaram appeared prior to Krishna in Dharakara Yuga. He also appeared prior to Lord Chaitanya and Kaliyur it he had amazing childhood Pastimes with his friends, he would play dramas of all the avatars. Although the children were just 4, 5, 6 years old, everybody knew the dramas were higher. Not many adults teaching them because they've all been there before. They were in the dramas they were playing, you know. Ravi, learn Krishna Veela. Yesterday we were talking about Lord Chaitanya's parents appearing in Sri Hatha and coming from Sri Hatha to Navudvi and Nithyananda appearing in Ekachakra as the son of Raya and who I'm going to take test at the end of my period here to make sure you remember all the details. My take. So what was the situation? We also talked about how Advaita Gosai was frustrated with the situation and all the deep. All the people were pious, so called pious, but they were totally non devotional. They're worshipping different demigods for material benefits. The so called learning pandits. They only gave interpretation of Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam on how to have good sense gratification. Dharma Artha Kama. They got up to the kama. We heard about kama this morning from His Holiness Wakana Swami. Elaborate discussion on kama. So that was the goal. Very few, very rare. Some people weren't merging, but don't buckle. No love of God. This was the problem. In fact, people would put on big wedding ceremonies to show off how rich they were, how religious they were. They married their daughter, spent. Even today in India, sometimes they spent billions of dollars for one wedding. Better dare not get divorced. It's a big thing, weddings. So that was the situation, another big wedding. It's kind of a religious ceremony. So somebody married his daughter, spent a big bundle, give everybody a big feast. Then the other person, he'd already married his daughter. He did a bigger festival for his daughter then the other one that did. The first one, he had no more daughters to marry. So then he decided to marry a cat and a dog. I mean a male cat and a female cat later on the next one he had no daughters. They married a bell to dog and a female dog and can don't work. That was a slip of the tongue. But it was dogs and cats. So then the maisha. Why does this have to do with religion? Dogs don't get married, cats don't get married. Human beings get married. So it was like everything. Superficially it was all very religious. But what was really going on was just indulges, just Sanskritification, no Krishna consciousness. So now Advaita this was the kind of environment. So Advaita. He worshipped Lord Krishna by offering Tulsi leaves and Ganges water. He loudly shouted the names of Krishna, begging Krishna to come down. Fasting, crying, praying, worshipping. He somehow got the reciprocation. I will come. He's going to come. Meanwhile, Satchibata conceived of a child by an immaculate conception. They had no relation. That night particular dream they both had the same dream that a light came in the heart of Jagannath Misra, transferred to the heart of Satchin Mata, went from her heart to her womb. And it was a brilliant, intelligent light. The doctor told her, you're pregnant. They had no relation at that time they weren't and already had Mandira Gagna had Vishwarupa. That was their fulfillment of their Vishnu Puja. They didn't expect another child. The father of Satshimata is a Vilambar Chakovak and he's the greatest astrologer. He predicted it will be a son. But she already went into her nine, tenth month of pregnancy. There was no sign of childbirth coming. She got worried what's happening? 11th month was the west to do semisurgy. But he said, no, he'll be born under full moon. Born in the full moon of full moon months. That full moon day happens to be a lunar eclipse. And as we said yesterday, an people were against the chanting of the holy names of Krishna. The names of Ka, they thought could only be chanted when you're in the Ganges. Because in the Ganges you are purified by the Ganges holy water. And otherwise it would be chanting the name in vain or offensively to just chant the names of God. Actually in all the cultures it says the name of God is holy. I was listening to a table Prabhupada. He was talking to a bishop or a cardinal and he quoted in the Bible it says, O Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. The name is holy. Many people don't know what is the name of God. God is English. God has to have some names. Probably in some ancient languages. Like President sounds like Mr. President. You can say like a Mr. President. I don't remember the President. But he has a name too. I won't even say his name. Won't get verified by that. I would say Mr. God. Lord God. Lord God. Lord God. He's not human. He's superhuman, transcendental. He has a name. So the Vedas in Sanskrit they have many of these names of God. They have Vishnu, Sahasranam, the Thousand Names of Vishnu, which includes Krishna, Rama, Govinda, Vishnu Narayana. So many. Some people like the Chanta Vishnu's Astrana. But amongst all the names, Lord Shiva and the Shiva Purana. He said that the name of Ram is equal to a thousand names of Rishi. We find out how Jagannath is. What is it? What do you see him do? The Pujaris tell us or worry about his health. We get some news of our juggernaut. Will it be better by tomorrow? I think recovery just simply resting a little more by tomorrow morning. Should hear it right from the vagina. You have inside information. Thank you. Farm crowd. We're gonna get from the farm parade. So then he also said that one name of Krishna is equal to 3,000 names of Israel. In the Quran, it gives 999 and 999. Some of those names are like Raman. But we have it with that Raman. I didn't study all the name like this. Connections are with the Sanskrit. My idea is that the meaning of the name should correspond with the description of some quality of God, Ka, Supreme Lord. And then that will be considered something that's a name one at a time. So the devotees of Ka, the Vaishnavas, the devotees of the supreme Lord, they would be chanting these names for other people who were not having so much faith in the name that the name could purify anyone. They thought that if they chant the names out loud, it would be diminishing the name's potency and that the name will be offensive and cause some kind of negative influence on society. But actually, it's the most positive thing that the society can have, is to hear the holy names. All the people, though, on this lunar eclipse, the system is when you have a lunar solar eclipse, you definitely go to the Ganges and stay in the water. Because lunar eclipses are supposed to bring some kind of negative influence. Eclipses make people impure, bring negativeness. But if you're in the Ganges water, the Ganges are so strongly positive that it contradicts every negative influence of the eclipse. So all the Hindus were in the Ganchis, and they were, because the Ganges there you can chant the holy inner chant. So there was a loud sound coming from the Ganges of thousands and thousands of people chanting the holy names. And so the devotees, they thought, this is why this is supposed to be inauspicious lunar eclipse. But this is the most holy day, everybody singing the names of God. And even the Muslims and people who are not Hindu, they were joking look at these Hindus. They're all chanting. Somebody mimicking. You know something with that? Hare Geshna, Hare Gesha. What is this someone jokingly. Seriously, they're all standing the names of God. So we should chant the name of God devotionally. But even if somebody chants the name of God non devotionally, it's better than not chanting at all. That's our theology. Because even chanting while joking, at least they're connected to the Lord in some way. Shouldn't change. Nothing should change emotionally. But it's better than someone who doesn't even think about God, doesn't call his name, doesn't have any connection. He's in the zero point. I think once Jesus said that, give me hot water, give me cold water. I can drink both. But if you give me lukewarm water, I spit it out. Will he give me someone who is for it? Give me someone who's against it. Both of them. At least they discuss with you about spiritual matters. So they're benefiting the people who are disinterested. Like lukewarm. Lukewarm wire doesn't taste a little bit. They're not useful. It gets a negative. You can burn it. So many negative people. You can run it. So. So anyway, this was the situation. Everybody was chanting the Holy name and Lord Caitanya appeared. So when he came in the world, it was filled with chanting the Holy name. This was an indication what his mission was going to be. What is his mission? Manifestation. What's your name? Narayan. Let's give Narayan a big hand. Yes. He came to establish the Yuga Dharma. The method of self realization. For the age was enchanting the names of the Lord. When he appeared, it said that there were angels, extraterrestrial divine entities who came down to the earth and took the form of the wives of priests and ramanas. They came and they gave gifts to the baby. The mother suddenly wondered, where are all these beautiful Brahminis coming from? I know all my neighbors. Where are they all coming from? Giving gifts of different things. And then the next day came the wife of Agwaita Acharya, Sita Thakurami. And she came in a palanquin. She came and she gave a tiger too. She gave a million. She gave frankincense. She gave a all kinds of auspicious articles to the baby. Turmeric roofs, things which would make you very auspicious for the child. She was very happy to see the baby. One Chaitanya was golden lady. He was golden in color. And he is the father of the grandfather. His grandfather of the father of the mother came and saw astrologically said that he has all the auspicious markings, all the auspicious symptoms of a great person. Like 36 different bodily features of a great person. And he had all of the 36. He predicted he is going to save the world. So he said, get the name Vishwam Bhar. Vishwa means universe. Bhara means to take the Lord off the universe. To sustain, support, save the universe. Universal savior. Actually this sister Kumar Ghosh wrote a book saying how Lord Chaitanya was the second coming of Christmas. Didn't give it too much importance. He did that to me. Then as Lord Chaitanya grew as a lady, one day he started crying and they cried. Jan just stopped crying, offering him candies. Called the doctor. Why is he always crying? They tried the cuddling and the rocking and all the things that normally worked. But nothing worked. The doctor said he looks healthy, no fever. He didn't know what to do. Then some of the ladies started singing to the child. Sam word is start smiling. He stopped crying. It's not okay. He's better now. They stopped chanting and walked away. They started crying again. Then they started chanting again. Sam. So they have to keep chanting. Otherwise you start this way. The house was filled with the chanting of Hare Ka. Whenever he was away, ladies would come from the neighboring houses. And they would stand to keep the Lord smiling. Then after some months, actually up to six months. Normally there's a ceremony called Anuprasana. You know that ceremony. The first grains of gift to the child should be sweet rice offered to the Lord. First gram of holy sacrament Sacramento meal. And normally the Namkarana would be held earlier than that. After about a month and a half, two months. But somehow Namkarna was held together. Namkarna is when the name, the spiritual name, the official name of the child is given. And well, there was a dispute. The men wanted to give the name Viswambhara, Savior of the universe. The women said he was born under a neem tree. A neem is the holy tree that takes away all inauspicious. World Health Organization 1. There was a Time magazine that said Neem tree. The something. I forget what it said, but it was super tree. Does it kill it? It's a pesticide. It's ecologically so favorable that they see that neem could save the world ecologically or some loose. So they said, condemn the mind keeps away ghost. So they asked Illumarchatravarti, you should arbitrate this. See that? Even in the Time of Lord Catania. The humiliation Arbitrat. Even at that time there was some different point of view between the man and the woman. At least now that doesn't still exist at all. There's some kind of difference. So then he said, why not call him a nickname Nimaya. So he'll be known as Nimaya. That will be his Dhakna. What you call it? My official name was Gor Dharma. But my nickname was J. So they always called me Jay. I got J at the time. One year I think it was Vijay Radha said my guru from his birth had the name of Lord Chaitanya. What's that? He said Gordon. The wealth of God. I got blessed. I never thought. You see, Listen, you were the one that said it one day. Aspuja. My middle name was John Gordon John. My parents, although they didn't pretend that they gave me some blessing. I like to find names of Christian people name. But anyway, so they said the official name. Like in India they give it the official name which is just used for marriages and for very special reasons. And then most people have like a name that their parents never just call like a short name. So it was both names were used. It was amicably mediated, average versus so he was imined for public usage and vista and bar for his official. Then they did this. Anaprashtan Annaprashana is to take the first grade. After the first grade they do a little ceremony which is kind of a family ceremony which the child goes for books or lemon. But in this case Jagannath Misra. He put out all kinds of books. See whether you go for the Puranas, the Bhai Bhutavatam, the four Vedas Sahityas. When they put out pens, when they go for pens, is he like a stripe? We go for the money with gold, silver, copper, small teams. Is he a big time money man or is it small team? There's a whole spread. We just used to put money in books, holy books. He wanted to find out. So that Lord Chaitanya was crawling already at six months. He felt strained towards the books there. He grabbed one book and started hugging him. And all the pundits thought oh, he's going to be a punkhead. He likes the books. But the devotees wanted to see what book is he hugging. It was the Srimad Bhagavad Cham. Yay, he's going to leave devotee. He said devotees. His background is his devotees loves the vod. You ever heard of a baby going, I did so many other parts that sometimes, once I saw, they would take the money and put it on the book. So 12 o' clock. I have another few pastimes. But anyway, here's the lecture from God. No, no, it's six. Yeah, there's only 1245. You can go to the book. No, no, that's all there is. Everybody you ask Krishna, you got 12 to 1241 on the ivy starts. Look at Mala's seminar is going to be like for hour and a half. So maybe during there. Thank you for watching our videos.
