Vantage. We went at 6:30. I said my son that you have to come there. But he actually only reached there at six Other party was said to me. So we want to have the class they introduce. You have the question. Those who have questions, turn your questions in.

Last. Last three questions are welcome. Internet questions. The first question Gauranga both in Srimad Bhagavatam and Chaitanya Bhagavata. At the end of each chapter there is a fala Sruti mentioned. Vrindavan Das Thakur has mentioned by reading Mother Sachi Deliverance from the offense committed to Advaita Acharya. One gets delivered from Vaishnava Aparatha in 22nd chapter of the Madhya Khanda of Chaitanya Bhagavata. How to understand this? Your servant, our servant Jeevana Gaurava Haridas.

How to understand this? How to understand it as this? We should understand it as it is. Why do we know? If he says you read this story, you get to begin it for your offenses. You get to begin it for your offenses. How to understand? How many want to read this chapter? This is intuition to read. We also in our knowledge for a karma we go through the nine elements and analogy in the 1, 2, 3, 4 deep. There we observe that this is also known in the Chaitanya literature as Akhara Wangjian Kulil. That it is the place where one can get free from the offenses coming into the Vaishnavas. So every time we listen to this Kolya pat this Kola dream island. This is nine islands. Let's see if I can remember these nine islands. Each have got glories. Now some can ask how are we to understand this? It says that one island is 200,000 yojanas.

But.

Spiritual platform is much bigger. These are good news for reactors. And so how do we understand? Like it said that Ashwini Das Acharya Dasa he was a statistic. How did Lord Chaitanya who is an Aldhazara Krishna in the south, how he lives? Settled in a grass hut in a cow dung and log house. And he couldn't sleep. He was thinking how the Lord has appeared such a simple way as a drowning and other deed. So at midnight he fell asleep. The Lord came and picked it up and flew him over Naledi. And he had something like he had Seven visions he had vision and Naledi done. But with the huge wall around it of gold. And all the people dressed like in this treasure world with great confidence. And there I saw a kind of dome temple. And then have inside it Krishna Goranga and Vishnu via Lakshmi. And he'll come. Wow. And then another vision like this. Seven after each other in a row. The second vision was the Kancha Chatra with thousands of devotees from all over the world surrounding him, surrounding Lord Chaitanya and chanting rebuilt a temple of Panthera with the name deities of the Panchachatra. And they already are having thousands of devotees from all over the world coming of the year. How are we to understand this? I know how to understand Krishna. Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna.

Kindly explained the importance of reciting slokas. And what should be the mood for reciting the verses? Your servant, servant Ranga Ramadas.

These two ask the most question. I don't know how we do. We wouldn't have any questions. So let's get along everybody. Slogans is very good, very important. Because you see that as we memorize the slogans, they stay fixed in the night. So it's very high, useful and unflinching. If he caught the versions, especially in India. But in general he's a legged. There is someone in Hyderabad. I was standing in front of the gto, the general post office waiting for someone. And also there's a person called Penalty. He said fundamentals. And what does this mean? So if you don't know Sanskrit, you don't know the verses. You might get stumped partially. He asked a very common verse I hear. So I gave the answer. Soon after there was someone who came up to me. They said every religion says believe in God. Every religion. Isn't there any religion where you don't have to have blind faith or you just follow the system and guard you. No religion has the absence of blind faith. So this on the street is the kind of heathen and India on the street they show there. Okay, if you know, I stop her too. It's useful. Especially the younger you are, the easier it is to learn slogans. And then like 6 year olds, 9 year olds, they know whole chapters of Bhagavad Gita. Where as you older Tilba. So science and art, all the different things you got to study for university college are more difficult. So this person, all right, the person who asks me the question. Isn't there any religion where you don't have anything without faith? It still works. That was your question. So I was thinking there's one example at least one if not one. That is the example of Dasu Ratnakara. He wanted to rob Naraloni, you know because of the whole story. But at the end he surrendered to Narayoni. And Naranoni told him, you chant the names of God. I'm a thief, I'm a murderer, I'm a plunderer. I cannot chant the names of God. What do you think I am? I can't say anything holy. I can only say things for John. Unholy and very vicious. Just in that nature and sorry and very tall. So then he gave the mantra Mara chill Mara Mara Mara chill Chill chill. Oh I can chant that. This is right up my alley. This is just my. I would shake out the teeth of Yang Jah la, right? You know this, right? This is how he became the Nikki. And then like chanting Ra Ra it came Ram, Ram, Ram Ram. So he had no t.

He didn't.

Know he was chanting in his life. He was chanting Kill Kill Kill kill. This day he got purified. He became a writer of the. Excuse me, the writer of the Rama. Well Nikki he a prototype. So this chanting of the holy names is so powerful. Even if you don't have anything, even if you chanting accidentally or unconsciously he's still doing it. It says the fathers of Islam. They when they see something sacrilegious they say Haram Haram. But they also say Haram. Oh my dear Lord Ram. Unconsciously they're all sudden getting some so pretty.

For the rock of questions timeout only questions are acceptable now. This is from Internet from Hyderabad Prema Vinodini devijasi has written. We were really inspired by your presence here in Hyderabad Gurmaraj and we were in high enthusiasm to serve you. How to maintain the same spirit when one's spiritual master is staying far away? This is from Hyderabad Prema Vinodini Devidas.

She was attending regularly. A similar question was asked last night and I mentioned that we should always be offering our suras to Ka to the guru and the guru character Paraphra. The chain of stretches on masters from the present guru Alloya. Lord Krishna is the names that we offer our service to Krishna we don't directly author. We should have that enthusiasm even though the Guru is not physically tired to alter the service to him. Because through him that service shall reach Lord Ka and Ka will be very pleasing. I was also learning how Z and Hyderabad because they have the Rathayatra at the same time as they have in Calcutta. I don't go to Rathiyatra there if I come to Chennai Rathiyatra usually. Although this year. Last year I believe is like sickness. This year I don't know. So then how quickly I learned to walk? Because I met next alternative to walk. So I was very happy to be in Heidi Rock there he had the. The. They call it the Sanskara hall. The hall where they perform weddings and different samskaras. So I was generally giving the class there. On a couple occasions there was some other function. But you say that was a little available. So I was giving the class thanks. Since I felt the smooth Tina to Imden Lakhong Here in Chennai. It's not as easy to have a hall here. And the temple is not finished yet. But we hope that Sonya will be finished. So anyway, here in this humble house, knowing that not all the temples I got the chance to do Vahu Seva out of my humble self. I was in Nanbe, Nelly and Naylor, but only. And they want Chiltati for a few days. So we're living on Monday, Saturday, Sunday eight days left. So here like that. You should kill your enthusiasm. I like to once I get healthy. I would like to spend more time visiting all the temples in Shah.

The next question. Dear Guru Maharaj, Hare Krishna. When I try to do devotional surveys. So many obstacles coming up. This is test or Maya? Test of Maya. Is this the test of Maya or I am not serious. I am begging your causeless mercy to always be engaged in devotional service. Your useless servant Sivanandashyamadas.

Why are you sitting a test of lamb or am I not serious? If you're not serious, then doesn't need lamb. Because to test the test we have to really take shelter of Krishna. That their saints are engaged in devotional service. They will exchange some tests. Now God is wonderful. Why finally why test? Why? It's not easy. It easy enough shelter at Krishna. But if we are allowed that weight in the face of Yanti shelter Krishna's test seen in Sri Lanka because she's very difficult across the world. She's a divine focusing. However, if he takes children of Krishna's lotus feet, then he promises us that we will cross over all the obstacles, even the crossover. So Prabhupada used to say very graphically the lotus feet of Lord Krishna. How many of you want to sing the Krishna Go. So this is this always on. On the test going get rug a tough get going. And when we test the mayor get up and it takes you out of Krishna. He read the verse yesterday it said that Krishna Yoga, Krishna Mahamadou that Krishna delivers his devotees and doesn't allow them to fall into some mizrago material conditions. Also Krishna says land dwakta vrashati ayn devoti shall never perish. So I miss Hare Krishna is always protecting his life. So for we do you think I am so strong I can cross over all the difficulties? Maya's been a palace on the sun only.

Beg your pardon Gurmaraj if inattentive chanting is all offense, I very often do that. If I am also responsible for your ill health, will you please forgive me Madhura Mohandas.

I don't know who is responsible for my help. Anyone else has a heart to play sir And I pray for Sunday maybe I give Charisha try to chant the holy name with bulletin the inner tenant chanting has two aspects. One aspect is chanting without paying attention. The other aspect is chanting without putting or whole table and thinking that there's some other practice which is going to so we should actually put our faith in a chanting of the holy name. It takes two and a half hours at death to go from their patrol hospital all the way to their home. Can the shin so many people tonight are stuck in buses in the traffic jams. But they don't think they chant and they sit there and they get bored. I don't know what to do but they do the chanting in this way their life with these are successful. He was giving a class in a village called Chekta. It's about hour and a half outside of cafe that I dream. So the whole town of Fella it's very cheap to live in the village. But you get all jobs and all they can't have. He said if you go, he goes. You get to your office, you work, you take some visit. Then you work tomorrow and lunch and sit in your work and let G1 hour. If you lunch one hour get the train underneath we have a sacrifice and like this one day in now happy day is this human life? Father asked him, is this human life? He said, Lisa, you can't.

Then your.

Life will have some special spiritual meaningful. So even to this day, after 2930 over 100 years still there's one logism. And so in this kaliyura test of something the test are the linguas strong. Now he should be very humble and surrender to Krishna Cross over all attempts.

This question is from Internet swaroop Krishna from Manipal, Karnataka. In our day to day lives we have to deal with material people who find devotional practices strange. So how should behave so that they are attracted to Ka consciousness and not repelled Swaruknata.

This is where the Agihasas have a little chance than the sannyasis. Because they look at the sannyasis with a lot of apprehension. And they used to sing sannyasis son as here. So if they go to see the Gyan or like with the wife, children, houses, nice aghan, car, everything. Some of them, they think they have anything I want. But they're in the voice. I do the other way too. So if they know that you are a devotee and they see that you're sane, you're kindly, you're nice to them inside of there. I think nice guy, nice girl. I think I answer your Lord job at least in the approach to sometimes. I had one disciple, she was working in AT&T in USA and one time she was approached by a work colleague. I know you're a spiritual line in person. My mother died. I don't know how to say. I don't know. I just think sometime you tell me what does life do? And let this be opportunities to actually help other people. This is our job as we help people. You see, we know from the that there are three modes of nature. SATA, Raja and Tama. When you deal with materialistic people, there are usually different mixtures of these three modes with phenomenons of Garja, Tamil, little bit of Sattva. So we can deal with these people using the knowledge, the wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita. We can also be Lord Chaitanya said, give respect. Anandainena Mandainena. Give respect to others. Don't expect any respect for yourself. If you follow this policy, he'll be very well liked. Everybody likes Song of Resheksha. And if you don't respect in return, you don't need A shame if you don't get it.

Madhumati, New York My mother recently started chanting the holy names. I trained her into chanting because she is strong Catholic. I told her this mantra was very good for help and promised to chant three holy Mohris. Now she is asking me what are the results of chanting.

Of course we tell people that they can chant any name of God. They are so the Christians, they have certain names. Islam, they have certain names. Religions have different names. A lot you have thousands and thousands of names. But I still like that if you chant Hare Ka, this is a recommended. Recommended by the leaders. But if you don't have. If you don't want to chant Harrishna, Sorry. At least chant out a name of God. I saw this one lady, she was a nun. She was changing Jesuit. She was famous. So she was changing Jesus Christ. You know, it's very much like Hare Krishna. I'm just trying Hare Krishna, it's very similar. So Hare Ka. Hare Krishna. Krishna Krishna Krishna, Krishna Krishna. So she realized that the same effect she was giving the chanting Hail Nanny. By Jesus Christ. She got from chanting Hare Ka. But Hare Ka was more strong, it was more powerful. So naturally she became interested in chanting Hare Krishna. Eventually she took initiation and she saw an Jesus the training. But she chant. So the higher mantra is a Sanskrit. And what's the difference if you chant in Sanskrit or Latin or Arabic? Somehow it's all. It's just language. I could hear how the glass of water. One night I was in Bangladesh and we had people on the stage of 15 countries. So he said, in each of your languages he said, what is the word for water? So the clerks said, woe, we want, we revolt. And in German it's Wasser in Spanish. In Italian it was aqua like this. So. But it was all the same water. So if you call new or done. He knows all languages. I tell the Latins, they call these Spanish in Portuguese, Latinos. I said, you're not really Latinos, you're Saskatinos. Because Latin comes from Sanskrit. So originally they all come from Sanskrit. So you're not lacking notes. Get the fiddle to check. So what does this mean? He can say so many things. But Har Krishna and his name is not different. All the abundances of Ka are in his name. So he chant the name of Jesus. He get the mercy of the Lord. Hare Krishna.

This is Internet question. But from Chennai expectations may lead to disappointment. How to lead spiritual life without disappointment? Your humble servant, Raghu Chandra Das, Chennai.

Anyway, and we have false expectations. This may lead us to frustration. So we shouldn't have any false expectations. You should rather have hope. You hope to see Ka. And Ka promises that if we are chanting his holy names, if we are serving him, then he protects us. At the time of death, we are going to see Krishna. We are going to continue on in Ka service. So this is not a false expectation. This is a promise of our Ka expectations. Like something. I expect every devotee is going to act like a pure devotee. That may not happen because some devotees are very neothite. And they may act in a way which is not exultantly. Sri Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita that in devotee has in a long way, a long and noble way. We should. You should still respect them, because they're on the right path. On the path of serving the Lord. So that way we should expect nothing appeared devotee. We would like to tell what will be a pure devotee. But not everyone reaches their state. I stage right away. That's it. Occasionally he would a little and feast of Holy place. In undergrad, when he was in Nelly, she's in Holy Place, Butcher place. I don't know. Yet he sits out to see the only place in town Island. Only got two days left. I want to thank all of you. I forgot to ask. Who needs a talented lunch Now I leave it understanding.
