The first question when I will get Atma Darshan question from Kumara Guru.

We also call this to realize the self esteem. This is to actually realize the challenge. We have to have one of the three stages of God realization. Without God realization we cannot have other. So with the those down in the hello. The Gyani yogis they realize that the absolute truth as impersonal. The Astangayoes realize the Karma in the heart. All this stilt the life. The Oes realize what we want. So Amen. These are three forms of the Aman Amana Bhawan. So these bodies, they don't want to see life. They don't have interest to see the Marjorie or the Allah. They want to see Krishna, they want to see Narayana. They want to see like that. They want to see the Lord in his ordinance, in his new King, in his opulence, in his Majesty, in his surrounded by his devotees. So this so according to how you are engaged in ka service either as Jnana Yogi or Sana yogi or Bhakti yogi you will get your atma to follow the kissing or the Yayogi. You realize your atma as a spiritual spark. Get your paramount Yogi, you realize your Atman Karma and these other yogi. If you realize Bharawat then you realize Balaam Varman and the and yourself. So how many here want to realize the impersonal attitude? How many would like to realize this group is really spiritual. I saw when you realize Bhagawan, you'll realize your atma. You yourself as atma. Like in Bengali they say to our Sharia Kalarache, how is your body? You see, we are Adra, we have a body in in the west they think oh I have a soul. Like the perspective is like completely opposite. One thinks he's a soul, he has a body. Other thing he's dying, he has a soul. Anyway.

The next question my beloved Maharaj Hare Krishna from other societies like Ramana Rajneesh. How does ISKCON teaching about Bhagavan Krishna varies? And how this way of parampara really differs and helps how the Bhagavan Krishna is supreme. It is very important to be clear about him. So please guide me. Sincerely, R. Kannan.

Since last October I had this stroke and so I'm still trying to recover. Amra here she was One of the physiotherapists who was helping when I was visiting Ian today the Apollo Hostel opening night doors. I also stayed for some time at the Bhakti Devanta Hospital. This is a hostel where a lot of the nurses and doctors are devotees. Not every Muslim. They also count a search of care division. So I don't know exactly how many. I think maybe six to 10 workers working with spiritual care. And they go around and they see their patients and they talk to them. So I don't want to talk too much about them right now. But one story is I'll take a look at this question. They went to see one person from Delhi who was in the ICU and he had all kinds of magazines from different groups. So they said oh, you're interested, you're interested in spiritual life. So he said yes, but I had a doubt. Every group I go to says their founder is God And I'm not going to go into all the different groups But I wonder who is really God. We have the same doubt but we read Bhagavad Gita that Krishna is the supreme personality of Godhood. He is the supreme God. So really, really I never knew all these dynasties. They say this one is God, this is all is God, this one is God. This is the first time that I see really as mentioning Bhagavad Gita itself. Why they never had me read that. So they showed him everything is coming to me. Nice to have you with us being a granite killer tonight Running guys this person start the chant at some people they think, you know they should think God is God and the Islamic followers think Allah is God and Hindus they don't know they got all kinds of pictures in their Fujos Shando, shandra these do is the N and the other powers of Mandra and Nimnaraka and we are all. They also think Krishna Shankaracharya Anyway all the Vedas So the Prabhupada said that the Krishnas and the Islam they are also because they believe in one God as the Vaishan the Padma Quran says we should get from Mantra one of the four song of dynasty the Sri Kamla Guru or Kumar the only difference is in the streets of the Nile they worship but they consider that Krishna is a form of Narayan Buddhism Krishna is hindering anti Narayan is the form of Ka. So that's not my students in this way these four Samdradayas are mentioned in the Pranas that we should get our mantra from them. In this way we are assured to be successful.

For the local questions. Timeout. Any further questions tomorrow will be invited Internet questions are still welcome. Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj. Last few classes you have been instructing on Amani na Manadena. Why is it so difficult to practice how to practically follow in life? Your servant, Amarendra Gordas.

You see, someone gave me a book many years ago by Dale Carnegie. How to neck bends and influence people. And the whole book. This is Allah offering praise to others and not expecting any praise yourself. I always tried that in the sutra form. Lord Caitanya. He told us, patient, author, prince, respect to others and not expect any respect ourselves. That is the very simple Parna. And the whole book by little Carney. We sold millions of copies a lot. Examples of how he did this. How he offered the San Tindo praise and didn't expect any praise in return. Because of that he was able to influence them and to make friends. So it's. I ask why. How this is an actual thing? It's very practical. It is very practical because this is being practiced by human materialists, artists. Why we should find it difficult. We can find something nice to say about almost anyone. There's very few people that we can find nothing to say nice about. Like Brahma. He mentioned that the drunkard he can be Krishna conscious if he thinks Krishna says in Gita or so the sweet taste of liquor. If he thinks that what he likes and that whiskey or wine is Ka filter. We're not recommending anyone see a drunken. But the drunken thinks. I like mind so much. This mind, this big Tasian mind is actually Krishna. He would be Krishna conscious. So it's not like a very difficult thing to be Krishna conscious. And then can be Krishna conscious. If they realize that. That what the things they like are actually coming from Ka. If you study the 10th chapter and a different chapter, the rotis of Krishna, you'll see that all the things you like something or another hint in Krishna. Hare Krishna.

This is an Internet question. Ask doctors. We have to intimately. We have to intimately with patients of opposite gender. How to. How do we prevent our senses from wandering in such situation? Your servant Swaroop Kishan Manipal Karnataka.

This is why it's recommended that people who are working outside they should be learned. The idea is you should love your wife. Wife should love their husband. In this way they'll be protected. Otherwise it's dangerous thing. But this is a simple answer. More than that a person wants to be. I guess you have to see your patience. Not in that gender. You have to see them as patients. But the most safe method is you shouldn't have been the aid and you should love yourselves and this way you'll be protected from attraction to others.

The next question. Though Krishna's pastimes are unlimited, our awareness of this is limited to the scriptures. So if I happen that I have. It so happened that we are repeating the same pastimes in our classes and discussions. How do we get information of the unlimited of the Lord Taruni Radha.

You see, in this I wear. The Bhagavata has 18,000 verses. I don't know if you know all these verses. There's of course 18 pranas, there's Nagar as Ramayan and so many scriptures. So I don't know if you read all of the scriptures, but if you are able to read all of them and study, then we are told that in the higher planets like Sarda, there's the Bhagavatam with hundreds of thousands of words, so they have more time to read. I don't think that we have that much time to read. Anyway, using the 12 cantos of the Srinivata, they're not finding that many devotees who even devotees. But to speak of other people who are who have read all the 12 cantos, especially read them and memorize them and all them so. But if you are able to grasp all these leaders, don't worry, there's many more higher plans that are then revealed.

Last two questions. Guru Maharaj Hare Krishna. Many Puranas quotes that by chanting the holy name of Krishna, all the sinful reactions are vanished. But we see many instances that devotees suffer extremely. Is that due to direct chastisement of Lord himself? Kindly explain you words. Servant. Servant. Ranga Ramadas.

Even one civic chant offenselessly we get paid from all the offenses. The question is whether you chant it without offense or with offense as the 10 offenses to the Holy Name. Usually we commit some of them and because of that we are getting cascade from some of our sins, but not all. Moreover, there's many ways we can think of as a picture, as a teacher, as sometimes we eat the food of the outside temple and we take their karma. So how much is like a whole science in his variety it's called faka, it is boiled rice, it's called kacha. So we should only eat kaca food from initiated devotees. If you have to eat vegetarians or when you buck up like that, there's an old science. So there's many ways we can get sin what we turn to witness anyway, you see, whatever we get, take it that we Are just something as small a token of what we actually deserve. Once Prabhupada, our Gurudev, he cut his finger and had one drop of blood come. So he thought, he said to us, look, I cut my finger, I lost a drop of blood. I should have had my head cut off. I lost steady. So we get suffered, but we think that actually we deserve to suffer more by Krishna's mercy.

The last question. It's written here. I read what I meant. Rupam Swami in Netaram devotion says Anya Vilashita Sonyam but devotees have so many desires less material example, name, fame, recognition and so on. So how to understand this? Hare Krishna, Sri Manjari Devidas Anya Abhilashita Sonyam it is said in the nectar of devotion name of the devotee is Sri Manjari Devidasi.

By the way, he said that we should anoint the wheat the agachas of our devotional service. He said it is not exhaustively mentioned. 6. The Shivachar is of doing activities which are forbidden by the scripture. Puttinati is like political dealings. Like this one saying, you know that one which says just love you. That one says it's about you laugh crazy, but the little light do that. That's called putinati, a jeetah. To actually kill the animals or to cause harm to others. Not in a self defense, but as a progression, all these things. Then there's Lala wanting some prophet from the devotional service. Guja wanting to worship. Batisha wanting some position. So all these hiddles you mentioned, they're already covered by Lord Chaitanya. Large Caitanya and there's large Chaitanya. So we should. These weeds may grow so profusely that the weeds become bigger than the spiritual plant. So you have to be very careful for the weeds. What does a good farmer do if he has weeds in his field? Remove them. Put a fence removes the weeds. Now it may be hard to remove the weeds. We have to hang out the weeds. I. I grew up in Krishna consciousness in Nayakur. And there we for several years were living off the land. So I learned to speak of Bengali talking to local farmers, many of whom are Muslims. They are my friends. So in this way though I learned how to weep the field. I have a little knife they call Neera. I don't know if they have other parts. Yeah, they cut the tweed on the root and pull it up like that again. All these tweets in our heart and it made the little pencil. But we need to do it.
