Gold coins a year.
His uncle made 12 million gold coins a year.
And we don't all. A gold coin is $1,700.

So Wheati, chiridai, mangoes. Very easy.
So Providing chiridahi and mangoes was very easy.
For he gave seven pots for Lord Nithyananda.
So he kept seven pots for Lord Nithyananda.
And different flavors.
Of different flavors.
Here I heard today I asked, I made 18 flavors.
Today I had asked. They made 18 flavors.
Because we're in America.
Because we're in America, we have to.
Do things the American way.
And we have to do things in the American way. So six are salad flavors, six are salad flavors. Six are yogurt flavors, six are yogurt flavors. Sweet, sweet.
And six are given milk flavors and.

Of the salty, one is North Indian and one is South Indian.

And South Indian is more hot.
And South Indian is more hot.
I don't know here. This is what the original Russian cults are.

We have a tele snicker with a salmon. And hot.
We have a Telugu speaker. Do the South Indian hot.
They like chili.
It's like chilies.
Anyway, so Raghavan Das, he sent out his secretaries and purchased a lot of pots. Yogurt, fruits.
So Raghunatha sent out his secretaries to buy lots of rice, yogurt and condensed milk.
And the word quickly spread.
And the word quickly spread. Mahotsav. Mahotsav.
As soon as you say Mahotsav, people run.
As soon as you say Mahotsav, people run.
So after a while, the whole field filled up.
So after a while the whole field. Sorry, the whole field filled up.
Then there was no room for people.
Then there was no room for people.
Some people stood by the Ganges river bank.
Some people stood by the Ganges river bank.
And then that filled up. Some people are knee deep in the Ganges water.
And that filled up. And then some people were knee deep in the Ganges water.
And everybody was given a pot, one yogurt and one condensed milk.
So everyone was given a pot, one yogurt and one condensed milk.
And then I meditated. I did it under raw, large Chaitanya.
And then by meditation, Lord Nithyananda brought Lord Caitanya.
Because only Lord Nithyananda and I feel all his associates could see Lord Chaitanya.
Of course, only Nithyananda and a few of his associates could see Lord Chaitanya. He's actually the incarnation of Balaram and Lord Nithyananda. He is actually the incarnation of Lord Balaram.
Lord Chaitanya is Chennai himself.
And Lord Chaitanya is Kanaya himself.
So they're just like on the side of the Luna with a hard voice.
That has their picnic just like on the side of the Yamuna. Like young boys, they would have their.
Picnic with the cowherd boys.
With the cowherd boys.
And so in that mood they're very happy to see all the people eating Chirandai.
In that mood they were very happy to see all the people eating Chiradahi.
And everyone was chanting or eating.
And everyone was chanting while they were eating.
Haribo.
And the whole sound of Haribo was vibrating while people were eating.
And the whole sound of Haribo was vibrating while they were eating.
And the crowd of people.
And then Lord Nithyananda went with Lord Caitanya in the crowd of people.
No one could see Lord Caitanya.
And no one could see Lord Chaitanya.
Nityananda would take other thoughts.
Nithyananda would take from other pots and feed it to Lord Caitanya.
And then he'd take out wardrobe.
And then he would take a morsel and then it would disappear.
He'd feed it after Lord Chaitanya disappear.
He would feed it to Lord Chaitanya. And then it would disappear.
He would see from Sira rising there.
And go around for the tide and disappear.
And then Lord Chaitanya would pick up a piece of. You would see it in the air. And then he would feed it to Lord Nitananda. And it would disappear.
Like this, the mood of cowherd boys.
So like this they were in the mood of cowherd boys like Vrindavan.
And when Raghav found it, he came out and said, you all is ready.
And then Raghava Pandit came out and said, you, lunch is ready.
Lord Nidan said, I am a cowherd boy. I like to take a picnic in the forest.
But Lord Nityananda said, I am a cowherd boy. I like to take a picnic in the forest. And he gave him two pots and.
Said, I'll take dinner later.
And said, I'll take dinner later.
So then like this, the whole pastime was going on.
So like this, the whole pastime was going on.
And so.
This was the punishment of Lord Nityananda to Raghavantas.
So this was the punishment from Lord Nithyananda to Raghunath Das.
And at the end, whatever was left in Nityananda's pots, Lord Chaitanya's pots. I gave the Raghunathas.
And whatever was left over in Lord Nithyananda and Lord Chaitanya's pots was given to Raghunath Das.
He gave it to his servants, to his assistants.
And he gave it to his servants and his assistants.
And they all took Maha Maha Prashad.
And they all took Maha Maha Prashad.
And.
In the end he got a rushing around Nityananda. And you will soon be able to reach Lord Chaitanya without any impediment.
They had the blessing from Lord Nithyananda that they would soon reach Lord Chaitanya without any impediment.
So.
We observe this festival during the first weekend in June in Atlanta.
So we observed this festival the first weekend of June in Atlanta.
We observed it with Chaitanya Avatari and Zangalar.
We've observed it with Chaitanya Avatar in Bangalore.
And we're happy that you are observing it here.
And we are happy that you are observing it here.
And.
Official day. There's no advertisement. But people show up in the hundreds of thousands.
Even with no advertisement, people show up in the hundreds of thousands in Panihati.
I was at several Panihati festivals. It was a wonderful experience.
I was at several Panihati festivals and it was a wonderful experience.
The secret is, if you want to get the mercy Allah Chaitanya, you need to get the mercy of Allah.
The secret is, if you want to get the mercy of Lord Caitanya. You first have to get the mercy of Lord Nithyananda.
Because Raghnath Das tried to reach Chaitanyana Rava direct.
Because Raghunath Das wanted to get the mercy of Lord Chaitanya direct. He had to first go through Lord Nithyananda.
When he got the words through Lord.
Nithyananda then he could easily get to Lord Chaitanya.
So once he got the mercy of Lord Nithyananda, he could easily get the mercy of Lord Chaitanya.
So later he became one of the six Sanya Goshtavis and went down.
So later he became one of the six Goswamis in Vrindavan.
He was the assistant to Satyamadar Astani in Dharanathuri.
He was the assistant to Swoop Dhammadar Goswami in Jagannath Puri.
As such, he could realize many internal.
Pastimes of Lord Chaitanya.
And he could realize many intimate pastimes of Lord Chaitanya.
Lord Chaitanya came for three reasons.
Lord Caitanya came for three reasons.
One is that he came to inaugurate the Sankirtan movement.
One he came to inaugurate the Sankirtan movement.
The standing of the Hare Krishna Arantra.
The chanting of the Hare Ka Mahamantra.
And the second reason is that he was challenged by Rukmini Devi in Draghar.
The second reason was that he was challenged by Rukmini in Dwarka.
Ravini said, you know everything.
Rukmini said, you know everything. You know what Brahma is doing in Satya Loka.
What Shiva is doing in Kailash.
You know what Shiva is doing in Kailash.
You know what is going on in the Ananda Koti Ramanda.
You know what is going on in the Ananta Koti Ramanda.
Millions of universes.
The millions of universes. You know everything.
But there's one thing you don't know.
But there is one thing you do not know.
You don't know. I know. Radharani knows. You don't know.
You don't know. I know. Radharani knows. But you don't know. No one ever told that to Lord Krishna before.
So then what is that?
I don't know.
So then what is that? That I don't know, Radhar.
Something you don't know. I know. Radharani knows.
There's something you don't know. I know. But Radharani knows.
What is that?
So what is that?
You don't know how much your devotees love you.
You don't know how much your devotees love you.
In what way we love you.
In what way we love you. You don't know nobody is above you.
You don't know this.
But you don't know this.
Lord Krishna. He thought about it for a minute.
And Lord Krishna. He thought about it for a minute.
All right. I will come as my devotee and Kali Yuga.
All right. I will come as my devotee in Kali Yuga.
I will come as my devotee in Kali Yuga.
I will come as my devotee in Kali Yuga. I will come as my devotee in Kali Yuga.
That is a secret behind Lord Chaitanya.
So that is the secret behind Lord Chaitanya.
He Madrani in Navadip Dal.
He met Radharani in Navadvip Dham.
If thy feast prior offering of this Dao.
He was pleased by the offering of this Dharm to him.
And he took the heart of Ranharani.
The mood of Radarani, the Lala Radarani and her color.
And he came.
He performed the Kalaima, Radanakrishna and Lord Chaidanya.
He took the Heart, mood and color of Radharani and combined form of Adarani and Ka became Loy Chaitanya.
So he wanted to inaugurate the Sankirtan movement. He also wanted to research a love of his devotees for him.
So he wanted to inaugurate the Sankirtan movement and research the love devotees had for him.
So Lord Chaitanya very special avatar.
So Lord Chaitanya is a very special avatar.
He's Krishna himself. Come as a devotee.
He is Krishna himself who has come as a devotee.
Now here we have Narasingadeva.
Here we had Lord Nasimhadev up in his UGRA form on the seat on the sheet that was in front of the offering.
Every avatar has a particular mood.
Every avatar has a particular mood. What is the mood of Narasimhadev?
He's angry.
He's angry.
His devotee was abused.
His devotee was abused.
Prahlad was being abused. He was very angry at Hirani Khashivu.
Prahlad was abused. Narasimhadev was very angry at Haranya Kashipu. So the mood is anger. In Mayapur we have a Nasinghadev.
Someone offered green eyes.
And someone offered green eyes.
Pujari.
Put those eyes in the Pujari. Put the eyes in.
Narasingadev came the dean of that Pujari. Give me back my red eyes.
And Nasinhedev came in the dream of that Prajari and said, give me back my red eyes.
I'm green. I'm angry.
I'm angry.
I don't want green eyes. I want red eyes.
I don't want green eyes. I want red eyes.
Why does the Lord of Lord Chaitanya.
So what is the mood of Lord Chaitanya?
Mercy. Mercy. He's the most merciful Avatar.
He is the most merciful Avatar.
He told Lord Nityananda when he was in Jahun Puri that you have to go back to Bengal and let him start where he left off.
He told Lord Nithyananda that he had to leave Jagannath Puri and go back to West Bengal to start where he left off that time.
East and West. It was all one Bengal.
And at that time there was no east or West Bengal. It was all one.
Anyway, he said we had promised that in this Avatar we would deliver four kinds of people but normally don't get delivered.
He promised that in this Avatar that he would deliver four kinds of people who normally do not get delivered.
He would deliver among us upon us the sinks of the body.
He would deliver One, the foolish who think that they are the body.
The.
Low born are not Ramans and Kshatriyas and kings.
The Nichu, the lowborn. The ones who are not Brahmanas, Kshatriyas or kings.
They always get delivered.
They always get delivered. But the nichew don't.
This time they would.
This time they would.
And the fatigue.
The fallen and the petite. The fallen.
Breaking regular pencils and doing sentinel activities.
Those who are breaking the principles and doing sensual activities.
And the Dukkha, those who are distressed.
And Dukkha, those who are distressed are suffering from diseases.
Legal problems, financial problems, different kinds of distress.
We're suffering from diseases thinking that they are the body. Different forms of distress. And other problems. Legal problems, financial problems.
Do you know anyone like this in the world?
So, do you know anyone like this in the world?
Taking the Lord on Lord Nityananda. He draws Ka consciousness here to the west. All over the world.
So Prabhupda taking the mood of Lord Nithyananda brought Ka consciousness to the west and all around the world.
Otherwise there be no hope for these Westerners.
Otherwise there would be no hope for these Westerners.
So I think it's all planned. Lord Krishna, Lord Chaitanya that all you Indians to the west.
So I think it's a plan by Lord Krishna and by Lord Chaitanya that all you Indians have come to the west.
You may have come here because you thought you'll be rich.
You may have come here because you may have thought that you will become rich for some other reason or for some other reason.
What are.
The actual reason is that you're meant.
To.
Achieve full success in your spiritual life and help others.
But the actual reason is for you to achieve spiritual success in your life and to help others.
Harira. Harira.
We want you all go back to Godhead after this life.
We all. We want you to go back to Godhead after this life.
And that you should not go alone.
You should take as any you can with you.
You should not go alone. You should take as many people as you can with you.
I'm very thankful to Chaitanya Alatar thoughts and his God right there dedicated to this mission.
I'm very thankful to Chaitanya Avatar and his wife. Chaitanya Avatar and his good wife that they are so dedicated to this mission.
I hope that many people will take up this mission of Lord Chaitanya Anityananda and deliver Achilles success and other others.
We hope that many people take up this mission of Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nithyananda and deliver themselves and many people.
Today we're having the Panihati festival.
So today we are having the Panihati festival.
And you see how Lord Nityananda, Lord Chaitanya they were having this picnic on the side of the Ganges.
And we see how Lord Nityananda and Lord Chaitanya were having this picnic on the side of the Ganges.
And.
This night they like to help other Nazis to pay his punishment to.
The so in this way we would like to help Raghunath Das pay his punishment to Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nithyananda.
And also feast on Chirad.
And also feast on Chittadahi fruits and other things. So.
We were doing this and my.
Former.
Ashram mother advised why don't you get some donations with it?
So we were doing this and my former Ashrae mother said why don't you get some donations for doing this?
So taking our advice we have some auction for the today.
So taking her advice we do some auction for some of the pots.
And.
The way that one can get some pots, give their friends or other duties.
So in this way we can get some pots and also give it to other devotees.
And in this way they're giving some donation to the function.
In this way we are getting some donation for this function.
It must cost something to rent this hall and make the Chiragai.
It must cost something to rent this hall and make this Chiradahi.
This is one way we can help.
So this is one way you can help.
Anyway I saw Paneehati people get a pot around and give it to others.
Anyway I saw at Panihati some people would get a pot and give it to others and.
It actually got more worse getting out until like you actually.
Get more bliss giving out the Chitidahi.
Alright, so that's a nutshell other than Raja festival.
So that in a nutshell is a little bit about the festival.

In India of course we have professional chanters.
In India of course we have professional chanters.
Chami is not the same.
But the chanting is not the same. Maybe musically nice, but it's not from the heart. But it's not from the heart.
On a preval chanter in the heart it has taken a thing that happens.
When people chant from the heart. There's a particular thing that happens.
It touches other people's hearts.
It touches other people's hearts.
So this way, the purpose of life is actually God conscious. Ka conscious.
In this way, the purpose of life is to be God conscious. Ka conscious.
The easiest way in this age is by chanting the holy name.
The easiest way in this age is by chanting the holy names.
In every Yuga, there is a different sacrifice.
