#JayapatakaSwamiArchives 20230508 || Question & Answer Session || Dallas, US

The question is from Nitai Sachis Bandhan. Gurudev, I beg to offer you my most respectful obeisances. The question is how is the amazing dancing of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu? Would you like to tell us?

Indescribable.

Indescribable Swahili from Bhuvaneshwar and Shimran Pindkar have their hands up. Do you have a question?

Guru Maharaj is asking question from Haritha Madhavi Devid Hare Krishna. Guru Maharaj, please accept my respectful obeisances. As R Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is experiencing these ecstasies and only certain devotees can observe them. Do they happen? Do they happen in eternal Caitanya Lila in the spiritual world, what is the qualification for fallen souls like myself to enter into such pastimes? Please enlighten us, dear Guru Maharaj. Your spiritual daughter and insignificant servant Harita Madhava Devidasi.

I feel a desire to enter into these harsh times. That's the qualification.

If you desire to enter into these pastimes, that is the qualification.

And it's called lolium.

It is called Low Lyum.

Having an intense desire to engage in the pastimes.

Having an intense desire to engage in the pastimes.

So just like hearing the pastimes says, one will surely get a shelter a larger storm.

So it says just by hearing the pastimes one will certainly get the shelter of Lord Krishna.

That's a special pra. Influence of hearing God signs of Lord Caitanya.

So that is the special pravab. The influence of hearing the pastimes of Lord Caitanya.

All right.

All right. Would anyone else have a question here? Mahaprabhu Jagadeesh Prabhu has a question. Hare Krishna. Guru Maharaj, please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. Guru Maharaj, when we are chanting, do we have to think about Lord Chaitanya or Krishna's pastime? Does it help us to basically connect well with Krishna?

Rah Rah said we should hear the mantra.

Srila Prabhupada said we should hear the mantra.

And if we chant and think of Ka's mantra, that's also alright.

If we chant and think of Krishna's mantra, that is also alright.

It's all chanting. Remember the past times a Krishna, that's all right.

If you are chanting and you remember the pastimes of Ka, that is alright.

You don't have to try to remember the pastimes to try to listen.

But you don't have to try to Remember the pastimes. You should try to listen.

While listening. If the pastimes call you right, it's all right.

But if you're chanting and the pastimes come to your mind, that is also right. Anandamaya Gopinath, do you have any question Guru Maharaj is asking? Hare Krishna. Guru Mahj, please accept our respectful obeisances onto your lotus feet. Thank you for the wonderful classes that you're giving Guru Maharaj. It's something that we really look forward to. Well, almost every single day during the class was.

That is what was the reason that Mahaprabhu was ashamed when he saw Paramanandhapuri?

Could you please explain that? What was the reason that Lord Chaitanya was ashamed when he saw Paramanandapuri and Brahmananda Bharati? Could you explain that?

They said there is and there are there to see his dancing.

They said the reason that they were there was to see his dancing.

Those uncles and that they wanted to see Lord Chaitanya dancing.

They were like spiritual uncles and they wanted to see Lord Chaitanya's dancing. So it said he was somewhat ashamed.

Inside.

Self conscious, you could say self conscious. Logito.

Logito. And then desire.

It means like laja means like shy.

They were cooking for Lord Chaitanya. Was serving Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda.

A little bit.

So Lord Chaitanya was saying, I'm a Sannyasi. Just give me a little bit.

I'm hungry. I eat two, three days.

Then Lord Nithyananda was saying, I'm hungry. I haven't eaten for three days.

I haven't eaten Prashadam.

You have to give me prashadam.

He prasadam.

But Advaita, he gave very opulent prasadam to both.

Pastimes like this. They are having their pastimes.

And the Lord Chaitanya went to Jagannathuri.

Then Lord Chaitanya went to Jagannath Puri.

Many devotees followed him. But then he said, you're Grihasta. You go back to your family.

Sometimes you can visit me in Jagannath Puri.

Someone asked me, what's your favorite pastime?

Someone asked me, what's your favorite pastime?

What sign? I heard that today devotees from New York from the mango.

So I heard that today from the devotees from New York brought me mango.

White in the ring. All sides are sweet.

So what side you bite into a mango. I mean, all sides are sweet. Every pastime of Lord Chaitanya is very sweet.

All the pastimes are my favorite.

I mean, you know, all the pastimes are my favorite.

Hare Krishna. Guru Maharaj, please accept my obeisances until your lotus feet. As you said, all pastimes of Mahaprabhu is very sweet. But just a few verses previous to what we read. I had read a few days ago the ecstatic symptoms sometimes Mahaprabhu exhibits. Like his arms and legs became three cubits long. His skin separated from his body and his eyes turned upwards. Then his elongated joints. Why does Mahaprabhu exhibit such symptoms that common foolish people like me cannot understand this. Kindly explain this, Guru Maharaj.

It says Lord Chaitanya's past times are uncommon.

It says that Lord Chaitanya's pastimes are uncommon.

Demonstrate Some ordinary pastime, I wouldn't be a God.

If you just demonstrated some ordinary pastimes then it wouldn't be uncommon.

And then.

Most people like you would say oh, then nothing special.

So what's the Chandra has extreme Mahabhara something that can't be imitated or understood.

So Lord Caitanya's extreme Mahabhav is something that cannot be imitated or understood.

Krishna took the heart of Radharani.

So Krishna took the heart of Radharani.

Radharani when she was feeling Satvaj Ramakrishna she went into these extreme states.

And Radharani when she was feeling separation of Ka, she went into these extreme states. I think yesterday 10 symptoms of Mahabhav are given. I think yesterday a few days ago.

Radharani Vari the other ones who manifested Mahabhav.

Radharani Loy Chaitanya, Madhavender Puri they're the ones who manifested Mahabhav.

So.

Lord Tyranno wants to find out the ecstasies of Radharani. He has to do that.

So Loy Chaitanya wants to find out the ecstasies of Radharani, he has to do that. Please accept my respectful obeisances. I have a question in regards to Radharani was in separation from Krishna. Lalita Devi chastised Lord Krishna. How should we understand Lalita Devi's mood on this verse?

She's a left handed Gopi.

She's a left handed Gopi.

Two sides, Left side and right side.

There are two sides. Left side and right side.

Left side at Ayuranzo chastise Krishna.

The left side they're argumental. They chastise Krishna and right side.

So there's.

Right side. They're very submissive. Bhakti Priya Rai Devi Dasi Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj, please accept my most respectful obeisances. You mentioned that if we desire then that's the qualification of our entry into the pastimes of Sri Caithana Mahaprabhu. Is it that in the spiritual world what we desire, that part will kindly be given by Gauranga Mahprabhu to us in his pastimes. Will I be able to be with Guru and Gauranga eternally? Please if you can kindly tell us.

Of course we have to desire to do that.

Of course we have to desire to be there.

We also have to do favorable devotional service.

But also we have to do favorable devotional service and.

The two things together. Krishna as his cause is mercy.

The two things together. I mean it's Ka's causeless mercy that.

Nothing we can do. We want to serve.

There's nothing we can do that will deserve that.

But if we desire engage in devotional service and Krishna exerts his mercy.

If we desire engage in devotional service then Krishna if he please will give his mercy.

Sometimes Prabhupada said that Radharani says Krishna is a very nice devotee. Have mercy on this devotee.

Sometimes rla Prabhupada would say that Radharani would say to Krishna this is a very nice devotee.

And then present Rav Rani and we could have thought that Krishna should get his mercy.

If Radharani then Radharani indicates that Krishna should give his mercy, then he'll do it. Then he will do it.

That's why we say it's causeless mercy.

That's why we say it's causeless mercy.

Nothing. You can do that actually we deserve it.

Because there's nothing we can do that actually we would deserve it.

We can try. And if Krishna gives us cause mercy, we can have it.

We can try. And if Ka gives us causeless mercy, we can have it. Harold Haribo thank you for watching our videos. Be sure to subscribe to our channel. We publish new videos every day. And don't forget to like and share our channel.
