Recorded evening class by Jaya Pataka Swami (uploaded in the JayapatakaSwamiArchives) focused on the significance of the Bhagavad-gītā and its appearance day. The speaker opens with channel/app announcements, then recounts several devotional legends and stories illustrating how chapters of the Gītā liberate souls (a bull/castrator tale, a traveling couple liberated under a tree, devotees chanting japa), emphasizes Srila Prabhupada's recommendation to chant, worship, and study, urges devotees to read the Gītā and take advantage of living disciples, and closes with exhortations to subscribe/share.

Advantage slowly so you can understand because half of my mouth is still paralyzed. Yesterday was the I don't know how many years, 5,000 some year anniversary of the digging of the long white giga I saw a few years ago. Five thousand and eighteen years, I don't know the exact year are founded. So we have to check that out. But it's a known thing. We know that the Gita was spoken on this economy which usually falls in on this, especially in India and Israel. This is the biggest cause for the December marathon is the appearance of the Bhagavad Gita. So today to mark that occasion, there's a Yagya and I'll also sing on this cover. He sent the Nithyananda ruled others out. A guard to guard those. That is a message. Olav ka Bajra ka pare ka. So you give three orders to chant Hare Krishna, to worship Ka and to study the teachings of Lord Krishna. So Srila Prabhupada had given us. But there are two principles of Krishna Shiksha. One is Bhavad Gita which is taught by Krishna. The other is which is talking about Krishna. So our great philosophers and writers like Thoreau and Emerson and others, they appreciated the Bhagavad Gita's death and its scent sickness is universally accepted. For the Hindus it's as much like rival as anything. It's a major block that we study. In the morning we have Shiva. In the evening we have lava pizza fast. So this appearance of the Bhagavad Gita is something very very important for all of us because the Ka himself spoke it literally. Bhagavad Gita means the song of Go Aditya. So many verses by samurai, one verse and so many verses by Arjuna and so many Ra Krishna. He had noted all the verses. How many verses? I don't remember right now. But this is what he wrote on the Dharava Bhagavad Gita Sudhir Lord Ashila in the Fatima Purana he also glorifies the Bhagavad Gita chapter by chapter to Mother Parvati, chapter one or that one lady. That there was a man who was. He was a sinful person. So he took birth as a bull and he was made into a bullard. That means he was a castrator. So he was sold to a very Crippled person who loaded him up with all kinds of goods and go to one fair or another to sell the goods. Month of May in India, which is the hardest month. And the owner did not feed him with much water. Sorry. Spin around in circles. He was getting dizzy. A big crowd gathered around the watch. It still happens in India that a big crowd will crowd around anything new. I know because being a western sadhu being in India, sometimes in the village anything surrounding and she shall not have my good go to this poor. The Yaraj said that he is very settled for Sid. But he got half of the good power of this lady. So he'll take dirt as his rawness. So then he remembered this situation. And when he was nine years old, he wanted to meet the lady who gave him a good karma. Normally people give donations or do feet, sadhus or something to get good karma. They don't give away good karma, but gay. So how this lady has so much good conduct as she's getting away? Jamie and Juggernaut. And then he found a Buddhist lady wife. Hello. Who are you? Kailaman Wan Tanisha. You may not remember but I always said that you give healthy good karma. The Jaffi. I just wanted to thank you. I also wanted to find out how you have so much good karma. How do you say parrot? The whole first chapter of the Bhagavad Gita by heart. How he got to that situation. I start like this. Then every chapter has some history or liberated a soul. Liberated many soul. Do you understand? I tell the seventh chapter. The eighth chapter. There was two children who were born of a devotees. They got married, but they didn't want to. They wanted to enjoy life first before they took their spiritual life. Maybe you know someone like that always was born in a family with spiritual traditions. But it's without calling those who are enjoying life. See, we want all of the devotees here, the Gihasas. That they should bring up their children in a ka conscious way. Love and affection to the children. And in this way, hopefully they all take up the spiritual life. In this case, the husband and wife. They were traveling around the world and they were seeing what their wives. One day it was a hot day in India and they were under a tree, under an only tree, a textile tree. They didn't know that this tree was used to hang the prisoners. Oh. Or like surrounding this couple. Waiting for the nightfall. Or they could try to injure the body they are surrounding. Listening to every word. We've been traveling around the world. Everywhere we see the people are doing the same things. Eating, Eating. They may eat in different styles. Some are eating with fingers, some are eating with chopsticks. They're all idiots. I'm getting tired of all this. Why is the tortoise alive? Why is the karma? What is the meaning of karma? What is the soul? Who is the supreme Lord? And now I want to find out these things. And the wife said, you know, I learned the same question was asked in Bhagavad Gita. Then she said, king Tatrama, King Adyata, King Karma Purushottams, King Tatkarma. What is karma? What is the salt? What is karma? It's half a verse. King will show tonight. It's half a verse. All the ghosts were just around. No sooner did they hear these words, they were all liberated. The tree fell over. They are liberated from their ghostly existence. Tama came from the spiritual world down. It's lined with mantras. So a thing you are thinking it's the Holy Ghost. For this time achieve liberated forms took all the vector garden. The husband, he was very impressed. Wow. Did you see that? Did you see that? You really got some Shakti there. So then he decided it works for the ghost. If it works for the ghost, fire won't work for me. So he began to chant day and night like. Like a japa. He began every day he was chanting day and night, day and night. Every day he will chant day. And year after year you kept chanting. So one day Ryan was. He was smiling. Especially big smile. Orion, why are you smiling today? Special smile. So he said, see, there's a rather in the universe of the father Rama on the defendant Russia. And he is changing health awards. I'm thinking, what should I give him? What should I give his wife for teaching? In his word, he's the commander in chief of the forces of Lord Vision. It says his spiritual source of finesse or those obstacles on the path of. He said, bring it up, read it up. That was 1/2 a verse of Bhagavad Gita. Half a verse. So like this Lord Shiloh is telling of poverty and the chapter Rama Gita. I once walked in the room of Srila Prabhupada in Nayadur and he was reading Bhagavad Gita. I had thought, oh, sorry. A basic literature that prava was really more like that. The Bhavagira was essential really. At least in India everyone should read those from Indian origin. They should all read these Bhagavad Gita. Actually everyone should read it. But especially that in Indians it's a part of their history, part of their Very few people I met have actually read longitude color to color, start to end many no honor to virtues especially one or two verses that was 20 years ago I don't know now I've been India since 1970 so I haven't asked recently hello. You wear yes, as it is yesterday because you're all working people so it's difficult to come other days so we're having discussion on Sunday I see this our teacher is calling we could do article we could do puja because these are the words spoken by Krishna the supreme personality of God being unrespected so if you are not thinking about I just told to you how old are you? 18. 18. Very good. So all the 18 chapters are very sparkle, very holy is available for the Chinese for the around the world is a very sacred look and by reading it you can understand what your position is as a soul how this material world works so I'm very happy to welcome our Gush etc He's one of our ISKCON gurus and he also is a doctor Ph.D. i don't know now that sometimes he was acting as a professor or something giving a class on the universities here in Hong Kong and I was fortunate during previous October to be president when they had the gathering of the rotis from all over China at that time he was along with us and he did it hard enough I've had a long association with him and sometimes we put shot together in Poland or some other European countries and his central south. You see, the disciples of Srila Prabhat were an endangered species so you only get maybe 10, 20 years of association with the descent or you don't know how so take advantage what you have. Prabhupada's disciples will only be present for another 10 or 20 years so whilst they are still here we should try to take advantage of be it anyone but generally your own health. You know, I tell you about still we live there 100 years normally and usually they don't live that long 82 and so take a chance read Bhagavad Gita Enjoy this session. What do you say Hare Krishna?
