In your presence. It was a perpetual festival for my mind. But how can I continue this festival mood forever? Kindly explain your servant Ranga Ramadas.
Of course, we like to give everybody a chance to chant during the Shabbat. He especially nice chant. When the Guru is present, we serve him directly. That's called Rahva Seva. And when he is not present, we serve his order instructions. That's called Rani Seva. So whether Raghu Sevna vanishena. He should always be in the mood of pestilence. Naturally, when the Lord is present, he feel a certain happiness. And when he's not present, he feels some saturation. But nonetheless, we should feel happy in those days and separation. Or.
Please tell us the glories of Shantipur festival. Jeevana Goda Haridas.
You see, for us the genie is an art shop all the time. It's incarnation of the Lord in a worshipful form. So my he would only eat if the Lord sent someone to him. He would ask. He wouldn't drink. He would only eat if he was offered. So I don't know how that worked, but that worked for him. He had so much faith in God that he would never ask if he was hungry. He would eat. So he was singing. And one tired boy came in and said, I see that no one goes hungry in my village. So this is a pot of milk that I'm getting here. Please eat it. I'll come back with pot later. So he drank. The thought that the door never heard that. Then he realized that daughter was really Krishna. So then he was one of the legends that Krishna came to. And I didn't recognize it. The God himself came, but I didn't realize. So then he was resting. And that night in a dream, the boy came back and took him into the forest, into the jungle. And there he felt that I'm here. I'm in this forest. I was hidden here. And the Mongol ruler came to a check. So I was heading there. And I've been here ever since for a long time. And so I was hungry and I wanted. So the next morning he got the villagers to come and cut to the forest. He went to the place where he saw and turned up. There was the deity of the Lord Kaedo are. So he put the deity on the Gordon hill. And there they did a big offering to the Lord. So Many chitatis and sweets and vadus and birthing. This deity is actually none other than Shinachi. He was known by the modern vendor Puri as Gulhav. But he's now worshipped in Natra as Shree Nandji. So this Devi came in a dream to run according and told him that he was very hot of being in the jungle for so long. He went to sandalwood, but there was no sandalwood and Vrindava at that time. I saw he was thinking where to get sandalwood. So he went on a journey down again. He's all the way until he reached. They know here is a Sanyati. But here I think he went all the way down to or recently on the way comes about on the way. He is walking with the side of the entity. And most people will walk on the road. If you walk down the road, either drowned people or touched his feet and make him for blessings or material blessings. Or he will see other sannyasis. And the anomaly of the one of these Sannyasis who believe that everyone is God. So they would say to him, O no, all the way to God. And he was the Vaishnav. He was in the moon of a servant of God. So he was not happy. His brother said that Christians and the Muslims they're all Vaisnamis because there is one God, you see. So that way, Krishna consciousness is a central point that people from all religions can join them. Of course, the Krishna consciousness, the Lord needs restrict all the demons as angels, as divine, kind of universal administrators. But not as independent from God, not as independent from Vishnu or Krishna. Krishna in his world as Vishnu maintains a Java. In this one as Ka, he prayed with his devotees. Anyway, Maharam Puri somehow walked into the ashram Advaita Goslami. And there he met Adoitri Goslami. And he was right, because there are very few Vaishnavas. And then they are Adoji Oswald. They worship me Ashaya Shiloh. So also he was not used to seeing any sannyasi from the right. He was the righteous person. He stood up and said, please come. Then they were discussing a lot our Ka consciousness together. And to make a long story short, Adriana eventually took initiation from the Puri. So his anuradhunavoi Kahida on his path to Gandhi's. Until he reached the coach. And he went to Orissa. And then the king of the Arisha, who had Cenovit. So then he went. He got the sandwich with all. Now he was a disciple of Mohammed Furni on the day of his disappearance he was now the League festival that is on Govinda Darisi is like four days before the which is the first day of Lord Chaitanya Gora Karnam. I saw there is such a latter arrangement for the festival. When he took Shamyana to Karnanaksha which is now in Jharkhand. That time was very long. Then he came there and he stood in the in Rio and he saw the letter reason for the feast. Then he took such a religion possess a feast. So that anyone who at this critique this lunar day takes Bashan here at this times they get pure devotion from within that. So we go there. I always ask Darushanti Chakra, Gosalam, the Sibite. And the father and the president of Goswami take over this festival about 15, 20 years ago. So he took it over and we are organized earlier. About 30 to 50,000 people come and take kikrishat. We are not a Daniel Zion. They allow you. That's what you do. And you get help from the local people to deregate. So then about 2,000 people. So we also take the Nisha. They get the Nisha. So we watching kind of said this space.
The next question. Cursed by four Kumaras Jaya and Vijaya descended to take three births as demon and met and went back to Godhead safely. Lot of people suffered with untold sufferings from their aunts and could not retire age as they went back to Godhead. Was the suffering of victims due to will of providence or their karma? The question was when the Jain and Vijay descended three times in demon during their reign so many souls were suffering. And is that suffering due to the will of the providence or their own karma?
Well, it is very rare that one sisters because of the will of Karma. Suffering is good in karma. If someone is meant to show an example. Like Krishna Maharash the water Thomas mentally astrology I so it can be the oil promise. But like Arjuna was a struggle that was prominent. But it's a very rare truth that someone is made to suffer because of all the province. It's generally because of our karma.
Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj how to become tolerant and determined in our service in various contradictory situations? Especially in preaching your eternal servant and spiritual son Arama Rupa Chaitanya Das.
Question.
How to become tolerant and determined in our service in various contradictory situations. Especially in preaching your eternal servant and spiritual son.
Why is this our verse refer to Lord Chattanooga. She said in the third verse he thought we should be more tolerant than a Tree and more humble than a blade of grass. The lay of grass sits on it. And then as you walk away. So we should be like that. Very tired now. Learning a lot of fits. It's quite a common man. You need people who are very hard hearted and they don't want to listen. So they put up some obstacles. I once met a man I was going for my life. And they sit down collection and he starts shouting at me. I don't believe in God. I don't believe anyone is. They're all cheaters. And sorry and. But then also I was looking at him. I wondered why is he doing this? And then at the end, when he ran out of breath, I started shining off people. No one saw him. There's deafening of God. And we're trying to do the service of God. And so I showed the picture. He listened to you soul made. He said, I thought you'd run away if I shouted at you and told you. And you sit here. How are you doing? So how is it? I said, well, sir. And I came to slip on fishing. So then he okay, I'll be away. How much? I said 1,100. Are you OK? So you know, he said I was just testing. I was testing him. Yeah. No, you meet crazy people. One time I was in the hostel in a college in Montreal and I was on that one student. I was doing looks. And then I stood the sun shining me. I don't believe in all this. His oldest. And he starts blessing about Krishna God. And I remember that oil painting. If you hear me, I was blessing you. You just turn around and you leave this place. You want to turn around and visit. Also because I was in the hostel illegally voice. So I thought good enough to talk with you. I just turned around. He was like. I felt really good. Just turn around. Back then you don't believe that shit. But I also help where you are reading that. Just turn around. And then there's an honor. Sometimes favorable person in India is not very unlikely unique such ailing native people. But sometimes you do need. So we just have the test and then the needle. In the case of sickle God Ramashani he was. He was 500 years ago. He is five houses. Whatever he'll get, that's what he needs. So he went to one house and the household was eating his sanction the son. And he said they shall eat easily. Sham donation the household of eat Give them their ashes from our tula. So what good is ashes in a tula? Can you eat ashes? You can use them to fertilize your. But other than that, they do yourself. And then he thought this guy, he didn't want to get rid of me. All right, give me ashes. Give me. Don't just talk about it. If they even give ashes, Shani the well hit something. They'll benefit that they give a servant of God. Ask of him. They all figure out at least something. He's not being because he needs the food. He needs the food for none. But he lean from fine glasses thinking everything. So all right, give me answers. Let's take his asses. Something like that. We should think how we can manifest that version. He is laying in them. They walk away. They disgust him. They defeat him. What do you want to do? We ignore him. What do we do next? We, you know, can't decide what to do at that time. But in any case, we sinned on the hurting the skirts. It's not our problem, it's ours. Problem he's unleashing. He doesn't lead in God. That's his job. Nonetheless, we can take how we're leading around. In some cases we can bring an atheist to the gun of leaders.
Last question. I am from Bangladesh. Due to political instability very often we are suppressed. So my mind is worrying a lot nowadays and disturbing to get settled my family to India or elsewhere. Though we are not the body but eternal souls. But I cannot able to make my mind stable. Please help me, Gurudev to constantly serve you. Prabhupada Krishna, your servant Suhasoo Nithai Das.
This is my personal question. A general spiritual question. I know some people is karma. I know one family. They crash from Janadpur to North Dil in India and they are living by the water. From Bangladesh came jaguars stole their crowds killed some valley and back to Roman. So although they had come in, they suffered robbery and death from the dead. In Indiana. I think they came on it will follow you and you take care of myself or not. That's something that should be seen. Are some people that make quite well and are some people are self influenced. It's hard to say which is where situation. If you have a very good situation to bring your parents or her anything a lot if you think about it otherwise sometimes even send us some help our child everywhere in life. Some can send some help to drugs. There's no harm to do that. I was just seeing our television that this weekend will be a special inside the Lally island where the villagers tell how their torture drives the village. So even in India there's problems around it. You can face a problem anywhere. So whether it's India is better growing as I sometimes wonder because Indian versus people who know what religion they are, they tend to enjoy greater feelings.
But.
I see even though people have come here that they don't necessarily be. And then if you come here earlier, they'll be healthier.
