How to build determination in Krishna Consciousness.
How to get determination and Krishna Consciousness Oi determination. Not many people, but the six things are favorable to Ka consciousness. A liar include violence, enthusiasm, patience and eternalization. So if we follow Rupa, what's following? We should be determined in our Christian context. Krishna Consciousness. So this is a very important aspect. To be convinced that by practicing Krishna Bhakti I will be successful. You see, sometimes I'm told the bodies have Gods. Why am I doing this? Why am I in Krishna consciousness? Is this where I want to be, etc.
Etc.
You see, these are all tricks of Maya to bewilder us. Whether or not we should have any doubt, we want to read in Christian practices. Today we learn from the Bhagavad Gita as it is, by chanting Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, we are guaranteed Bhavashad, you will reach the supreme planet of the spiritual world without any doubt. Right? I hear Bergman. Without any doubt. Shall we all chant Hare Krishna? You are devotional observer. This determination comes from belief, struggle and faith. If we follow, we will be successful. This is the province of Krishna. This is the province of the exhaust.
The next question comes from Krishna Bhaktadas.
Prabhu.
My humble obeisances of your lotus sweet Maharaj. Please share with us the most happiest moment, the most sad moment being with Srila Prabhupada.
I don't know if there are any sad comments. Hollow are the ones who has it. But maybe not in the ordinary sense that people consider happiness. They consider happiness, you know. Ha ha ha ha. Something very subtle. That was a good one. That was a good job. Not like something very deep. See the Bhabha, his eyes would be moist with tears. He would be talking about Krishna, not an ordinary sense. He would talk about Krishna as a deep meditation that sometimes he would stop on a washer, it sit in some arc vents and he just made it prayer. So of course I don't know what he was praying. Sometimes it seemed he was praying for us that we would be Krishna rajas. Actually one time some girl walked up to Prabhupada and said, Washington Seiko, why did you faithful while raining had the answer. Why did you pray for? You know, first he looked at her and praying that I don't fall down to Christian concept. So whether he was praying that or whether he Was instructing her or she should pray that question. The moments of which she was all of them were very blissful, very deep, very meaningful. I can't think of any moment as he said, it's only going to leave on your way. And we left this empty tree in our heart. How about our die in Italy around the world and he comes back and sometimes you fall to know before. Don't worry, don't worry. So Allah was very special. I was joined after two years in sanguine. So I stayed in Egoli or not. At that time there was no international center. So I considered like a house a week. I spent some time I used to hear the great picture from bewildering and I thought the sound of got me a little buzzed. I felt like it's an entire picture. But nothing compared to what I tell I heard Sri Prabha it was something very special. So what Ayurveda.
Next question. How are we to know whether difficulties in our life is due to bad karma offences or Krishna's test?
Yes, yes, yes. Kundi. Any love could be a Ka Kundiya offenses could the test Maya or Krishna. That's something you can know. Like started Padma Purana that he had no children and no money. He had a very Christian conscious wife. He was a Brahman. So he wanted to receive some money. Who told him that because of the karma you have no children and no money. Because in your life you are a Sudra who is wealthy and you didn't spend any money on your children or your wife and you have no life and no children. Now when you experience why did I ask why did I get a good life? How did I know I'm Brahman. So he said in the month of Vaisha this is the second most of the Satan Ram Also you get a hundred times in Bible. Maybe in the future we should do something a little better. So you have had a lifestyle visit your house and a few days you have some programs in your house. That's the only good karma I've seen in the whole life. So because of that you have a good life and long has the bond and place. Not right now. And the seven days up until there were seven days. So in his case that difficulty to trust his harm. But the good things because of his devotional service he does say so it said that his cause of the pussy was offense against Siddha's Hanuk and Arjuna hears they wonder what to do whether the client or not complain. Sit down in a little low in between the two armies static as Our girl is not running. He would think they're going to have a chance. So there's a reason why give it that he was tested by Krishna, by the well of Krishna. He got this weak heartedness so that Ka can sit with Bhagavad Gita and ideally the caste. That means go to our guru or go to our anything. They know there's a sister money listening Narayani and so on. If you go again they have a teaching of past, present and teaching Brahma Rishi and that of money is a little bit. So I don't claim they have reason. Here are these symmetric souls. But sometimes it's quite obvious what the karma might be or what the cause might be. Philippines Whatever it is, Krishna allowed it to happen. So we should try to be as Christian conscious as we can under the circumstances we should engage ourselves in chanting.
Which is more. Is service better than Sadhana?
Service better than Sadhana. This implies either you do a service or Sadhana. We should be low if possible health limits to anything Our time I was busy building the buildings in life and I wanted to read Paul Paulson books. Before that I had read the books during the time of instruction it was not possible. So I wanted time to read the books and Paula and finally said, you think there's a difference from reading my books and building my buildings? You're thinking the difference. I think there is building around there 16 hours and then try to attend a guru Puja. This way you get a priority that chanti or 16 hours and then the service. Now it depends what the service is. Whether it's lead allergy that we two ships 6:00am so towards the 2:00 clock till midnight there was two ships on construction. I was always seated, undergoing officers came. I was at Z1s. None of this was here. It takes us five years just to get plenty of parents. How do you build it up? I said, well, I went to a guru. You build everything. See how much. This is a miracle. I don't know how you did it. So this Indian young man a bit slow. Many Malaysian government is not so small, but they are amazing. Baba said, you are Americans. You are illegians to do something where the other country your children fellowship is still finishes our buildings one time our workers were on strength. We want more money. Give us money. Give us money. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Like that. So they stopped working. They were playing them barring them down. But they stopped working. So the slab was half finished. If you don't finish the slab, it gets occurred and it's very Weak So Bhava sent all the sannyasis out. I was telling you I knew how to run the and other group Hindu Swami and other swami they all became police and they're carrying a hand at that time who is Aliada. They're carrying the karahis and they end with the masala. The masala means s and s and agar. So they are carrying on the end ding to finish the so the workers or names he has no Indian gentleman do this but Allah say the Plomisc to do Christian service. So even in Sannyasi we were out there but for one day the brother was standing there watching he was smiling to see how his devotees from different countries were all carrying the Sunni next on their heads are ka. So sometimes you have to do whatever is needed to be done. Sometimes you have to do your sadhana. If you don't do any sadhana no changing then there's a risk that we start to see the service as one day Such a si odds of some mundane activity at least again to check if it's declared by the authorities that this is a marathon, this is a emergency. So then in that situation either Sunday is minimum and the bridging external maximum. But generally we do the sadhana and the chanting and the service.
Some devotees or leaders in discord write books and then later on a later date leave Srila Prabhupada's movement Are their books or writings still considered to be bona fide to be used as a reference.
If the book Israel, you know, like and they decide to take the Asha Ashram and then Baba said is there is a right he would rather have him do that and then not commit suicide or do something else. Other books but some good passion. I think it's in the at the time when he wrote the book very Christian Manchester the book that he said a good reverend, a strong man of reverence. Obviously the one who had as much file and a book written by our son.
The question comes from JNP Madhuri from Soil why on Eagernessi Day we cannot conduct wedding or shrida ceremony for the day month.
This is. I don't think that Baba wrote too much about this rock Simon this is something more of the mainly in the Hindu tradition some whether these are applied to vaishalas I'm not sure. I don't think that the Bhava said certainly about swallows. I know for instance that the ghost is performed on a call I like to do this now. So I did the first thing. Generally we offer the strike on the anniversary of this event unname them individuals if there's any interstitial council. But it is my characters available to observe weddings. John is thinking providing goods and feasts. So if there's a restriction on Christmas Doctor who's with John Dust. He always observed us. So for one you don't need anything on the dance. Whether there's any. I know that there's a restriction on her without samsknara and college scenes and fast days astiries so. But as far as the wedding I never saw a particular restriction. I don't know, maybe there is but. And my last budgets on a carnal ship. So on that day we have this 250 very minimal. And until the next day they offer the extra feast 1,001 Greeks and so on. So that that day the Lodhis Roman fast because feast are grand only like the bodies. They all let us sit by without having one grain feast. How many are unintentional? 108. An auspicious number. I'll see all you. How will I see tomorrow at podcast Happy same time who by the way, my teaching here is impossible by the donation of the amazing devotees. There's a list of about 12, 13. He had the name Siddha. I don't remember all the names. Karl Manalam and a number of others. So they contributed to my Maharaj TV because we're not going to have a normal round world tour where I will get a lot of donations for the tickets and they can outbid. I've just had a favor the whole team because I'm going to therapy in Los Angeles. So let's give them all a blessing that they'll be very successful on their ka consciousness and then the business will continue to make lots of so that they can mature like this and get you into temple. I also did have services of Shanghai at the temple instruction in Suwang, China probably here also. So let's give them all a blessing. So these are words pronounced as divine race. Asi said the training that the Shah wheelchair would be appreciated by Chandas. So I don't know if he wants to use the wheelchair. He probably has a very one but if he wants him it's his meditating. It's only like begun Satan almost but I used it extensively. I think those on Internet blockchain. Tomorrow we are in the final four festival and there will be lots of ladies there from the congregation also from the southern states. So help the student and probably in the Saturday morning and India on morning class they came in with a schedule but I didn't announce all the things. Then Saturday at 1 o' clock we have the bike and go on to maintain to Hong Kong. And then we go to Hallelujah and Los Santos.
