The first question comes from. You can write the question on the piece of paper and forward it here. Piece of paper is here.
Is it right in English or is it right in tunnel? I don't know but if you read in Russian or Bulgarian you may not be able to.
The first question is from Jeevana Gaura Haridas Srila Prabhupada is in Chaitanya Chaitamrata Madhya Leela said one's source of income is not actually the source of maintenance. It is our own choice only how to apply this practically in our day to day life to advance the Nkrishna consciousness. Srina Prabhupada in Chaitanya Chaitam Buddha Matthia de la said once the source of income is not actually the source of maintenance. Source of income one must go and eat opportunities. One's source of income is not actually the source of maintenance. It is our own choice only how to apply this practically in our day to day life to advance in ka consciousness.
When they when they're tired they get pictures sent away to the right size and to the world and Christian sale 29% they gave to their family members and 25% 25% they kept as emergency fund. So when Siratn Oshawnee was he was in prison and that time he talked to me and I yelled you that you are a faker, you are a peer, you are a guru amongst Muslims. So he was praising him and he was saying that he said I'd like to give you something All I know you don't hear but yes I want to give you something. Please leave me alone, I'll leave you alone. He said no, no this is very dangerous that I leave you alone. Then the elder of arresting and putting his non alcohol on the way off to beat his path and in the chain that I was going down to major's college began in a jumping along with the chain area I spat weather again so there's no trades and I'll go off. So then listen I'll give you like in case you know 7,000 or something of gold mint which is a lot of money. So the final great sacrifice I'll do it because I'm very much in there to you and your brother. So like this he escaped the son son he killed her Emergency used that to get out of the jail. I remember I met one, I was working in Italy. He said he had four kids and he had a wife. He had dining a text. So he was a castle. For him to give 50%, 20% he was this very Surviving as possible in Europe is very high. But something a little bit Sahil giving something. As I said, many the hoardings, the grasshop. They're healthy or their picture. Somehow either my money or my time of energy they help. But it's very nutrition. Now if a person has an income, they can decide how much that income. I can use proficient syrup, take a teensy flow. I can bring guests to their house. I can get a shit in the office and come home. You know, patient care for them. It didn't sound. We tell each other we think that this money is given by Krishna. So it's really Krishna's money. I need so much for my name. Some percentage has to get back to Krishna. So that's just. Then he has to get something. And something will make a quality as a director in the company and give him 1% of all the product. So whatever the system at somehow or another he should get something of his own. That probably sacrificed is up to us. How much you can Give. How exactly? 50%. I heard also in the Bhakti Ratnakar that the Raj used to line up with charity. That they are getting a fused charity as the grand administers. In the other they are giving a proposed check to the ground. How in the lower rule a town like a city like Nadine mispertion. Thank you. And so in Israel how much percent they're giving before that salon. They're also giving every day something as a donation. And at the end that they had saved up. They gave also our people. They want to retire and join the Ishkan movement. But they give all their money to their relatives. They should get so many Krishna film. But instead they all generated denied by a Prabhupada. His wife. Maybe they should get something all that he was a Sannyasi. He asked his disciples to please take care of his wife and former family. So he son and spanking were good to the former family. They're still alive. A few of his children. Because he thought that always good. He's a leader of the worldwide Christian woman and wife is on the street. Thank you so very church. And my husband didn't care for me or her. So he. I gave them a 5 some dates maintenance that they could, you know, take it to die. Then he asked his disciples. He never his wife as Egyptian, which is the tradition so this is some suggestion.
The next question is Hare Krishna I am Dr. A Anita Kiran doing meditation in Sahaj Mart by beloved master Podia Shri Raja Gopala Charity developed in me the devotional spirit to Lord Krishna we do meditation on divine light in our heart. Can I also do chanting Hare Krishna Mahmudra now or not?
An open secret. This is not a secret mantra. It's an open mantra. It's a enchanted I heard that even the prophet said my father, that Muslim wants to join us he can do his of course he should follow the four principles he should be a vegetarian practice Sigma.
Meditation.
In fact I used to do it on one occasion but I found that chanting hydration was much more apartful means of meditation and Kalyur Mantra meditation is recommended Any question or any minute.
We.
See that basically some very senior and also very nice serious devotees they work independent to the temple. Independent to the temple. And there is also some. There is also a concept of decentralized preaching. So now we see sometimes that you are happy in either case. If someone somehow or other they preach somehow or other they preach you are happy in either case. How do we understand this and what is the. What is the solution for unity here in South India?
The question is you're welcome to come in and sit down. Most of the devotees are in connection with self ascending our cell Devotees are like what is northern Middle East? So we are forming a combination of yaktra so this way via electric symbol. And so in some places the temple like in regular temple went on so there was a different warrior but somehow survived the departure of this temple of Israel and we're still in part tithing of them over the duty as a trustee to see that the address properties are asif. So I'm trying to think I can't think of any other place or you have, you know, diverse groups using all the other places the roots are connected to something but in a legal or we have a situation where many are groups already existing financial arms are 1990s, 12 years ago and so we're encouraging them but by large they all submitted to one another of the temple leaders. And so in general I would say that the noonas are entity I encourage all the grhasas to also fridge in the ordinary.
So.
Those who are temple nearby like are quite mature they leave them next to the temple if there's no tent in their bike then they don't. There's no question of leaving the temple. So this way we try. I don't think anyone's adverse to temple but There's a lot of histories behind different people that they may not always have been seated all the way to the temple. So somehow they're kicked over Christian confidence following changes follow provincials support them. Why we shouldn't encourage them. So I don't really know. I'm just. My question is well, maybe you can talk to me in private. I don't think I encourage anyone to reach out to temple. But in some cases the dealer has said it for a long time and they still have a friendly relationship with temple Simon Kurt and they said Mikrishnan. Thank you.
The next question. Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj could you please explain how we can get over the Anarth and Nibriti stage.
Then get rid of the anarcha the rooting devil encountered a misdial faith and Krishna consciousness. And so you know we try to deal with each other at the same time. We engage in devotional service so that we can get more and more advanced in our Ka consciousness. And not saying when Anarthas become he does and devotional service. So that way we reach the initial stage for very steady person is not so steady the ups and downs. And sometimes in 1069 sometimes they don't generally consider that to mean they are not done and they're 50st they're initiated or they're almost initiated and they're having difficulty practice. I went there and fixed up and they camped regularly. The anarchist may be there but they're very small pain comparison. And so. And that team will be powering our influence. Then we see an artist we will see even at the dance levels. But they become much less prominent in our life. There's something we deal with. So when they're very overwhelming that's what we call the Anartha. And the richest state in there Christian consciousness they cross over the American state.
Any other questions please.
And then those who are candidates for initiation they should stay here.
