So this is my first visit to this little farm.

So this is my first visit to this little farm. Beautiful farm.

Very grateful whoever did all the nice decorations.

Very grateful whoever did all the nice decorations. Well, Adi Gopi and Bunmiharni. They usually have a multitude of helpers. Raise your hand if you helped with the decorations on some level.

Thank you. Thank to Delilah and all his team for this wonderful role.

Thanks everyone for tolerating Devamanava long enough that Guru Maharaj came to this wonderful ecological abode.

We're very healthy, the Parikama.

I'm very happy to be a part of the Parikrima.

This is my first visit to the farm. But I was on parikhrama more than 50 times.

It was my first visit to the farm, but I've been on parikrama more than 50 times.

So it was very nice reliving the piccolo.

So it was very nice to be reliving the parikrama.

The Ngav Dal Mayapur Dam is known as the Odarya Dam.

The Mayapur dam, Navadvidam is known as the Odarya Dam.

Means the land abode of mercy.

Means the land the abode of mercy.

Now Puri donuts. Ishvayadam, land of opulence.

Puri is known as Aishvaryadam, the land of opulence.

And Vrindavan is known as Madhuryadam.

And Vrindavan is known as Madhuryadam.

Land of sweetness.

The land of sweetness.

Each dam has some particular name.

So like that, each dam has some particular name.

And they celebrated nine islands. And now the dam.

And today in our parikrama we celebrated the nine islands of Navadvid Dham and.

The Lord don't breathe. So everybody doing Kirta.

We went to Godrum Duit and saw everyone doing Kirtan.

That's the island of Kirtan.

That's the island of Kirtan.

And like that, each island is connected to an aspect of the vocal service.

Like that, each island is connected to an aspect of devotional service.

The nine activities of devotional service.

The nine activities of devotional service.

The idea is that this whole material world is like a nonsense, its own prison house.

The idea is that this whole material world is like in one sense a prison house.

But Ka gives us opportunity to fulfill our desires.

Ka, he gives us an opportunity to fulfill our desires.

To make a level playing field, he gives the law of karma.

So to make a level playing field, he gives the law of karma.

Give people of human beings up free will.

He gives people from the species of humans and up free will.

The animals without humans, they follow their instinct. They don't have karma.

The animals who are below humans, they just follow their instinct. They don't get karma.

So we are actually living force in the body.

So we are actually the living force in the body.

And he went to a village on the border of Bangladesh.

I was present with RLA Prabhupada and he went to a village on the.

Border of Bangladesh known as Haridaspur.

The village is known as Haridaspur because.

Haridas Tagore spent 24 hours there.

Because Haridas Thakur spent 24 hours, there's no temple there.

That time we had nothing there.

So now we have a temple there. But at that time when RLA Prabhupada visited, we had nothing there.

And then he explained and say, someone in the village, grandfather, all Jehovah, he dead.

So he explained that say there's an older gentleman, a grandfather in the village. And he's dead.

My grandfather, gone.

Someone is crying. My grandfather, he's gone.

Shalaz, my husband is gone.

Someone else is thinking of that person. My husband is gone.

My father is gone.

Someone else is seeing that their father has gone.

Everyone's trying.

Everyone'S crying. He's gone.

But Prabhupada asks, are they not? Are they not?

When Prabhupada asks, where has he gone?

What has gone?

What has gone? What has gone?

The body is still there. The body is still there.

The body is still there.

The hair, the head, the hands are there.

The hair, the head, the hands, it's all still there. So what has gone?

Why is everybody crying? He's gone, he's gone.

Why is everyone crying saying, he's gone, he's gone?

So that's the point. We should understand you're not the body.

So that's the point. We should understand that we're not the.

Body, the body in general. Because the atma are the living parts of the body.

The body is beautiful because the atma or the living force is in the body.

Once the third Saul and living force leave the Lottie, no longer beautiful.

Once that spirit soul, the living force leaves the body, it's no longer beautiful.

You have to bury it or burn it. Somehow you have to get rid of it quick before it decomposes.

You have to bury it or burn it or somehow get rid of it quick before it begins to decompose.

So then here. I see.

So everyone here is actually a spirit. Soul.

Yeah, right here. Body alive. The body is a machine of material energy.

You are making your body alive. Your body is a machine of the material energy.

Why don't you leave the body?

Once you leave the body, then it's no longer beautiful.

You are the soul.

You are the soul.

It's not that you're a soul. You're a body and you have a soul. You are the soul and you have a body.

So it's not that you're a body and you have a soul. You are a soul and you have a body.

So this is another thing, very simple. But somehow it's not understood by most people.

So this is a very amazing thing which is also simple. But somehow it's not understood by many people.

Most people, William, people wanted actually interested in spiritual life.

Amongst most people, you may have a million. And only one is interested in spiritual life.

Out of a million who are interested, one actually gets liberation.

And out of one in the million who's interested in spiritual life, one of them may get liberation.

Out of a million Mukhtats, first are nine people, Gyanis, muktats. Out of a million literated, it's rare to find one.

And then out of a million of those who are liberated, Jnanmuktas, it's rare to find even one pure devotee.

You all, I think, are practicing Bhakti Yoga.

So you're all, I think, practicing Bhakti Yoga.

That's to your credit.

That's to your credit.

Normally people get liberated. Very high bar cultured people.

That's why Lord Caitanya came. Because ordinarily those who get liberated, they're very high born, cultured people.

But actually he can. And they told Lord that he done that. He has come to preach, to help to liberate the four kinds of people who normally don't have liberation.

Lord Chaitanya, he came and he also brought Lord Nithyananda. And he told him that we came to preach to those four kinds of people who ordinarily don't get liberation.

The polis and the narati.

The foolish who believe in the body.

Who think they are the body, who.

Think they are their body.

The lowborn, the fallen.

The lowborn, the fallen.

The petites and the dhukis. People who are stretched to our world.

And the dhukis, those who are distressed.

And the material world like this.

Does anyone know anyone like this? A few familiar hands can rush.

So the nine islands that particularly like Titania.

So in Navadvidam we visited the nine islands and there Lord Caitanya personally came.

And this whole past time as we're giving out this special mercy to everyone.

And his whole pastime was to give out this special mercy to everyone.

Father Ani, his pledge of Holocene was playing on a flute.

Shrimati Radharani, who is Krishna's pleasure potency was playing on a flute.

Krishna. He extended himself the two Krishna.

He expanded himself into two.

Krishna and Radha.

Krishna and Radha male personality and female personality.

Of that he combined again with her.

But then he combined again with her.

He took her heart, her color and her mood.

As Lord Caitani he took her color and her heart and her mood.

That he lives. Lord Caitanya.

Krishna took that and produced Lord Caitanya.

He doesn't distinguish that this one is qualified, this one not. He gives out mercy to everybody.

And Lord Chaitanya doesn't distinguish. This one's qualified, this one's not. He gives out mercy to everybody.

Otherwise Toyota we wouldn't have any hope.

Otherwise in Kali Yuga we wouldn't have any hope.

Prabhupada came and he gave out the mercy of Nitai Goa.

Prabhupada came and he gave out the mercy of Nittai Gom.

So that's such a thing to understand how practicing Bhatiola is so beneficial.

So that's a special thing to understand how practicing Bhakti Yoga is so beneficial.

Actually in the Brahman Vairavaka Purana, one of the ancient Sushi actually in the.

Brahma Vivarta Purana, one of the ancient.

Scriptures like Krishna trend up and the age of Kali, the 10,000 year golden age.

Krishna said, in the age of Kali there will be a 10,000 year golden.

Age which will start 5,000 years after the end of Darva Yuga, which will.

Start 5,000 years after the end of Dvarayuga.

The time many people will become Krishna consciousness.

And during that golden age, many, many people will become God conscious, Krishna conscious.

They would actually enjoy transcendental bliss ecstasy.

They would actually enjoy transcendental bliss ecstasy.

See the Valeria.

See, there's no limit to transcendental ecstasy.

Material happiness comes and goes.

Material happiness comes and goes.

Now, sometimes the same senses give us pleasure, give us distress.

And sometimes the same senses that give us pleasure also Give us distress.

They're very superficial.

They're very superficial.

Well, maybe we have to remain our strengths out of distress in the material world.

We will experience happiness and distress in this material world.

But happiness, like Emma does it, you have a few drops of water, you need gallons and gallons.

But it's like happiness in the desert when you get a few drops of water. Really, you need gallons and gallons.

And the spiritual bliss is like ocean of bliss.

And spiritual bliss is like an ocean of bliss.

We want everyone to experience this unlimited spiritual happiness.

We want everyone to experience this unlimited spiritual happiness.

That's also what my leads are, practicing these nine activities of Bhakti Yoga.

And that's possible by practicing these nine activities of Bhakti Yoga. Hearing, chanting, remembering, etc.

So very happy to have visited the nine islands here in Michigan.

So I'm very happy to have visited the nine islands here in Michigan. I'm trying to think what spiritual name is in Michigan.

We say Gan Grana. I mean, that means. That means a song.

We say ghan in Sanskrit or Bengali and that means song.

So here I hear you do a lot of ainas on Tiba.

Here I heard that you do a lot of harinam Sankirtan.

You did nice kirtan and you did nice kirtan. So much yam. I don't know what Richie does. God chanting Hare Krishna.

We'll figure out what mish is. But gon means chanting Hare Krishna. Maybe someone can come up with something that mish means.

I was born in Milwaukee.

Guruj, I hear some of the Bengalis saying that mishti means sweet.

With Steve. Yeah. Sweets. Are you ready?

Do we have sweets for everybody? That was Praful's job.

Guruj, I'm very happy to see all the devotees.

I'm very happy to see all the devotees.

And we know that Prabhupada, Sri Lanka Ranka Swami Prabhupada, he came to the west to deliver a message.

Alongside him, we know that Rla Prabhupada ac Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada came to the west to deliver the message of Lord Caitanya.

So great offer, benefit, opportunity.

So this human form of life is.

A very great opportunity to go back to home.

To go back to home, back to godhood.

China. And the jlvp. The. The last link we're helping with the.

Temple of Vedic Planetarium. There is in it a west wing.

Which is the philosopher's presentation of the cosmology.

Which is the philosophical presentation of.

The cosmology from the 5th.

As presented in the 5th Canto, Srimad Bhagavatam as well as Gita, the entire philosophy of Ka Consciousness.

So little understand how Krishna Consciousness is actually a great science.

It's offered in a nutshell so that people can understand how Ka Consciousness is actually a great science.

According to the Bhagavatam, beyond this material.

World and according to the Bhagavatam, beyond.

This material world which has 100 millions.

Of universes, which has unlimited millions of universes, there is Mahesh, Dam, Hari Dham and Golokdam. All these are above the material universe.

You know, you only see most people think that only the living entities are planet.

But as you can see, most people think there's only living entities on our planet Earth.

Maybe they're sending Orions that they sent Earth will reach the next solar system in 10,000 years and tell us whether that other life or not.

They're sending some satellite out 10,000 light years and maybe one day it will come back and let us know whether there's life on it or not.

We don't live more than a hundred.

Years, but we don't live more than a hundred years.

We can actually find out there are life on every planet. And they have different ecology, a different dimension.

There's actually life on every planet, but they have a different ecology, a different dimension.

Just like in the sun. Either how bodies fire.

Just like on the sun, people have bodies made of fire and.

Desert planets. Bodies which are NATO subtle bodies which are suited to that particular place.

So on different planets they have bodies which are constructed of things which are subtle and suited to that particular place.

If you want to find out what's beyond the universe, you're not going to find out by the scientists.

If you want to find out what's beyond the universe, you're not going to find out with the scientists.

Very well meaning. But beyond you'll find out from the Vedas.

The scientists are well meaning. But what's beyond can be found out in the Vedas. So.

That way we're trying to show things based on the Suryadanta and the Puranas.

So in that way we're trying to show things based on the Surya Siddhanta and the Puranas. What is consciousness? What is life?

A lot else said that life comes from life.

Prabhupada said that life comes from life.

Not that material things can produce life.

Say again, Gurumesh.

Not that material energy can produce life on its own.

Not that material energy can produce life. On its own.

Allah. All right. These are some of the projects we're working on.

Anyway. These are some of the projects we're working on.

I must be hungry.

You must be hungry. Hungry for more Katagamus.

I went last night till 10:30.

I went last night until 10:30. I won't go that far. Tonight. I'll end here.
