Sam Bas Ra Ram Ram. Ah. Ra Kish Sam. Ra. Sam. Ra Ram Sam. So Russian translations over there. Those that don't know, that don't know Russian can move up a little bit. Those that need Russian translation better. You sit where you can hear some pastimes of Srivas Takur. Today we talk about Garadhar and some of the other shaktis. Shakti, Tattvas, Rangaya. So it seems that when Lord Chaitanya was manifesting his Nimai Pandit. Past times and he was very. He was very expert at defeating people in arguments, in logic, in reason. I'm okay, that's everybody else. That's to blow on everybody else. He'd walk on the street and pundits, before they would walk out of their house, they would look, is the coast clear? No. Ni vai Pandit. Because if they happen to bump into the Vai Pandit, it's my dear friend Pandit Ji, come here. I have a question for you. It turned out the rotation. Then he may ask them any questions. It may be a very simple question, but that was just the basis for the discussion. Whatever they would say, he could defeat it. After defeating it, he could re. Establish it. There was no. What you said was correct. What I said wasn't correct. For this reason, they go back and forth like that. Defeating and undefeating using logic, reason and shastra. So people were thinking, I mean, he's some kind of a demigod or is he some kind of mah purush or some great personality? And everybody would see him and they would be so attractive. He would also. He would. It wasn't that he was. He was very kind and respectful in his argumentation. He would shoot with a smile and he would make. Even after he would make people feel good about him, he would always give them some escape route. But he was like, you know, who was in control. So he would humble all the pundits. So where does he get so much learning? You seem to know every Shastra. Every. Everything. I mean, just know all the shastras by heart. You can quote any scripture. So one day he was walking down the road. And this day, gaddad har prabhu. He walked out of his house without looking first, without checking the way. And then he looked. Oh, no. Levi Pandit. So he's looking, you know, where can I escape? But before he can escape. Ali, you're not hard. Why are you always trying to escape from me? Seems you're always hiding and avoiding me. Why are you studying? You didn't join my Sanskrit school. He Said, well you know, I'm studying. Your school is mainly about grammar. I am studying poetry, Kavi. Well, we know something about poetry also. You know what is good poetry? If it's bad grammar. So you had to know grammar and then you can know poetry. Maybe you can explain to me what is liberation according to Sadhu Shastra Guru. Liberation. Liberation. Everyone knows it means to be freed from all this suffering. Is that all it means? Maybe you should study some more. Tomorrow we can discuss some more. But since one time. Imagine he said, since Vedanta Hadithah you are going poetry. So why don't you compose some poetry for me? I like to hear your poetry. Then he grabs him by the hand, you know. So happy they see you Janata. So please tell me some poetry that you've learned. If I could just escape. And then if you repeated some poetry then Lord Chaitanya said, what's the defects in your poetry? What's the good points? You could tear it apart. So why don't you come and join our school? We'll teach you good poetry. So eventually it seems he got Gaddadhara too. So when Lord Chaitanya would go by the. He'd walk through the town and everyone would respect him. It was like he was the reigning Pandit. So people would come up and offer him flower garlands, offer him clothing. The Brahmanas were getting dakhina from the other castes. So since he was a lead Brahmanas, he would get almost everything for free. One day he is walking along and he met one astrologer. So he said, dear astrologer, you are knower of all things. You know past, present and future. Can you tell me what was I at my previous birth? Here you can see my hand. So this astrologer was a bit of a psychic mystic. He would chant Gopal mantra and go in meditation. He could see things. So he chanted his Gopal mantra and went into the meditation to see what was this person in his previous life. But to his surprise, he started to see images of different incarnations. Varaha, Matsya, the fish incarnation. The boar incarnation. Narasingha, Ramchandra, Krishna, his own Ishtadeva Gopal. He couldn't believe what am I seeing? What's happening? You know, I don't understand any of this. And Lord, she said, what's going on? Tell me, what am I in my previous life? What do you see? And the guy jumps up and says, I don't know. Some problem today. I can't say. I can't figure it out. Actually what he was Seeing was the truth. But it was so amazing that it didn't compute. Dobro Prajaliba. So incarnation of Satyabhama was. Well, let me finish. Sathya Baba was Chakrayananda Pandit. He also had. He wrote that he once had some disagreement with Nimai. And he was got angry. So he went and sat by the side of the. He went and sat by the side of the Ganges. So he didn't come back that night. So Nima inquired at his house. You know the Jagannath come back. His noise not back. So he went out by the side of the Ganges. Chakrananda Chagannandha. Then finally he found them there sitting. So what are you doing here sitting in the dark in this dangerous place? Neither the Ganges in the night. Why are you not going home? Jennifer. What are you doing coming out here? Bare feet. This Navadip has many stones in the road. Have any of you noticed there are stones in the roads? Huh? Even then they had stones. But I don't think they had the entire roads with so many stones. But still they had a few stones. So Jagannath was inquiring in that way. Then Lord Chaitanya. He was insisting that you should come. He'd be so charming in his discussion that he would melt the anger of Chagannatha Pandya. Then he had to come back When Lord Chaitanya was preaching. Was not preaching. When he was still Nirvai Pandit. He would go by the side of the Ganges with all of his students. And it said that he looked just like the moon surrounded by stars. On one moon, surrounded by many moons. It was so beautiful. There were all these hundreds and thousands of students. All with tilak. You know that as the Imam Punjab if any student came without tilak then he wear chastise. Bhaktad Gopal. Whatever. Stand up. Where is your tilak? That means you did not take your bath this morning. If you took your bath, surely do your tilak after 10. That means you didn't do your pujas. You didn't worship the deity. How can you come to class without bathing, without doing puja, without worshipping? What kind of Brahminical culture is this? You go home, take your bath, worship your deities. Put on your tilak. Without wearing tilak, the forehead is like slaughterhouse. Or sometimes it's a crematorium. It's faded. My emperor is such a place. But anywhere else in the world, if you wear a tea lock, everybody looks at you. Here everybody looks at you. If you don't Wear a T lock. Where does this person come from? Why not he love? So people would come by and they would see. Imay ponder with his students. Chanting their mantras and going through their classes. It was so beautiful to see. He always liked to be by the Ganges. That was his trademark. His classes were by the Ganges. So Lord Chaitani gave lots of mercy to the Ganga. One day when Lord Chaitanya was walking, he met a devotee. He met a Vaishnava, you know, an older Vaishnava. And they said, Nimaya, what is the use of all this argumentation? What is use of this dry vidy knowledge if it's not used in the service of Ka? Then thank you. Please bless me that one day I can understand all this. That I can also get Krishna. Bhakti, please go see how I can. Pray for me. And bless me that one day I can also understand this. When I get the association with the pure Vaiavas. Then I may have this understanding. So thank you so much for wishing well to me like this. You are very kind. He would always charm them and put his Maya yoga Maya over them. He didn't just. He wasn't ever rude. He was always a gentleman. He treated the Vaishnavas with great respect. Even when he defeated people, they felt good about it. I mean, in their heart. Maybe they're buying their false ego or something. You know, the pandits had this. But somehow in their heart, everyone was happy to see in one sense, to be with him. He left them with that impression. Just like Krishna when he was a child. He would be stealing their butter and everybody would complain about it. But they liked to talk about Krishna. That was their pastime. So at different stages in young period Nimaya would be doing youthful proclivities and Ganges and things. And then in the older time, he would be Nimai Pandit. He'd be defeating everybody. But somehow when people were with him in their heart, they felt some kind of happiness. Although their mind and everything. They go through all these different changes. Then Lord Chaitanya started the Sankirtan movement. Students became a part of the Sankirtan movement. When he came back from Canaayanat Salah from Gaya after his initiation. Then when he was giving classes, he kept talking about Krishna. Everything he said was connected to Ka. So the students thought he wasn't. He was more interested in talking about Krishna than going and just smashing other pandits. So they got worried about him. That maybe now he's lost his edge. He's Changed. He is no longer the same Nimai Pandit. So they went to his Sanskrit teacher and told that we're worried about Nimai Pandit. He seems to have changed. So Ganga Das, Pandit Voichitanya Sanskrit Guru, approached him and asked, what is this I have heard thee, my Pandit Gur lost your Pandit edge. You're no longer able to defeat people who said, I can defeat any Pandit. I can defeat them. I can take their argument. I can smash it. I can re establish it. I can smash it again. I can reestablish the same Dimaya Pandit look at. I'll go and show you. So he went out to the street so that the first Pandit come and I will show you. But just so happened that the first Pandit to come was the incarnation of Parvat Muni Sri Ram Pandit, the younger brother of Shivas. And he came singing bhajans. He was singing the bhajans about Krishna being so merciful, about Krishna delivering putana and how putana. Just because she showed a little affection as his mother, for the purpose of cheating mother Yasoda to feed him poison, but because she showed her motherly affection. Oh, beautiful baby, you're so nice. Puchi Kuchiku, take my milk. So even as an actress, just as a very good actress, she was showing some affection. But just for that much, just because she showed some affection, even it was so artificial. Maybe in her heart she felt something that this child is very beautiful. Too bad I have to kill him. So Krishna perfectly reciprocated for the attempt to kill him. He killed her, but for the show of affection, he elevated her to a position of motherhood and spiritual world. So this that a witch, a baby killer, for showing a little affection could be liberated to the spiritual world. Now what is somebody really trying to serve Ka? Trying to show some affection to Ka would Ka leaves sincere devotees back in the material world. So Krishna promises to reciprocate with our devotion. So somehow this, a realization of Ka's unlimited mercy was so powerful on Lord Chaitanya that he can overwhelm in ecstasy. In this pastime. This particular Leela seems to show an extreme side of Krishna's mercy. Like, if there's anyone who didn't deserve to get mercy for showing some affection, Putin would be qualified. So if she could get the mercy, then what to speak of, you know, it's like she's the worst example of someone getting the mercy. So she got it. There's a hope open for everybody else. You can't hardly imagine anyone worse than she was. But she showed some affection to Krishna. So we can show a little affection, little devotion to Krishna then surely Krishna is not going to forget. So Lord Shatanahi, when he felt this extreme separation of Krishna and Krishna is so merciful and I'm such a rascal that I don't have any devotion for Krishna, you know, like I'm worse than Putin. I didn't put on a show, something, it's inconceivable. But somehow he ended up rolling on the ground crying for Krishna that Krishna is so merciful, he's so wonderful. And like all the students are looking down and saying, oh no, it's not the same anymore. So then Lord Chaitanya getting his composure, he called the students and he told them, call him by the. Where do you think he went? They always went by the side of the Ganges. And he told them that this is the situation now that I got initiated, I realized that the highest truth is Ka. He is Param Brahma. So when I understood that the highest truth is Ka and I'm your teacher, how can I give you less than the best, less than the real truth that I know? So if I can't be dishonest with you anymore, I know now that Krishnas are going to obviously be teaching things in relation to Ka. But if you feel that this is not what you want, you joined my Sanskrit college for some other purpose, then I give you permission that you can leave me. Seems that the student teacher relationship was a guru disciple type of relationship. Although it was a Siksha relationship, he wasn't a Diksha guru. He was some kind of a pandit guru. But if they joined his school, they were obliged to stay with him. They couldn't just go off to someone. If they did, they wouldn't be held, you know, responsible for that. So then he was now freeing them that they could go and find another Sanskrit guru, Sanskrit teacher if they wanted. But the lead student, they stood up and said, you see, my Lord, Dear Nimaya, dear Pandit Guruji, you have always given us the best of knowledge. Our TOL is the best in the TOL means what they call the Sanskrit school. Ours is the best, innovative, best students, best knowledge. You've always given us the best. If you say that Krishna is Sama Bona, he is absolute Truth and this is the best. We're not going to leave you. We're going to stick with you. But you can't blame us because you never taught us like this before. So naturally it's a shock for us. Now you're telling us about Nava Sankirtan that we should chant. We never knew about this chanting before. So now you have to bring someone and teach us how it goes. What do you do? We don't know. Get some Vaishnava to show us how you do kirtan. So they brought some senior Vaishnavas to come and teach them how to do Harinam Sankirta by the side of the Ganges. So like this Loy Chaitanya got the best of the students because they're all his students. So I sometimes tell when we do university programs that Loy Chaitanya's movement started off as primarily a student movement. There weren't that many Vaishnavas. There were like Srivas Sri Rama. There was a handful of Vaiavas. This whole town was all Pandits and Smartas and demigod worshippers. Very few Vaishnavas. So when Lord Chaitanya who had thousands of students, the best students, the Kreev when he became Vaishnava in terms of before he was religious he was worship Vishnu but as a Brahmana not like. Not to the extent of pure Bhakti. Just in a formal way initially. That's the Leela he showed. Then he got all the students to become pure Vaishnavas. And the Sankirta movement started at Srivas house. Prabhu was there. He was part of the Kirtan. And one day Lord Chaitanya he started crying out. So everybody was why is he shouting Kundarik. But since Lord she did so many amazing things. It wasn't like Puerto Ric is the name of Krishna. Somebody just calling for Krishna as lotus. Lotus eye lotus. But actually he was calling for his devotee Ponder Vidyanidi Pondri Vidyanidi had just arrived into Nava Dweeb Pundari Vidyanidhi was land was a Brahmin. His parents by their learning and brahminical astuteness and purity were so respected by the king that he gave them some villages to be the landlord for. So that the income from the land rent of the villagers would pay for his Brahminical duties. Sometimes jewels would be made lords or Brahmanas would be made lords. There was a time of feudal India and everybody had to pay tax and the tax would go through these lords. So that means that his father became an aristocrat like baron Lord whatever. He was a brahminical aristocrat. But nonetheless he had all the social clout of a landlord. Zamindar they would call him Bengali. When Pundarik would Travel around, he go by palanquin. Rich people in those days, they'd be carried by bearers. Like we read about King Prachinabani who was being carried and there was Jodhabara sitting on the side. We carry it along. So Vaishnavas don't normally travel like that. He's going to walk on foot. But he was landlord Vaishnava. Somehow he just cut the profile as a landlord mainly to just keep him because he was so soft hearted and he was so loving and he was so he didn't want to be bothered. People if he was too accessible being a landlord, being a rich person then they're all going to harass him for stuff. And this one way that rich people keep their privacy is by this kind of aura of aloofness from everything. So he was cutting a profile as a rich person. So nobody knew, hardly anybody knew who he really was, that he was so much a great lover of Ka. People just tend to keep their distance. Okay, he's some rich guy going by. Nobody bother him, just Sikuchana his rounds in peace and greet his shastra. He was vastly learned. That's why he got the title Vidyanini. And so Mukunda Datta who is also from that part of the Purdue community comes from a place near Chittagong in the district of Chittagong which is now in Bangladesh. Anybody here from Chittagong? And it's in a near a small town called Hatazari in the village of Mekla. And the bird place of Pandanik is there and nearby to that, about 20 km away. Come Mukunda Datta and Vasudev data 2 both very close associates of Lord Chaitanya. So Mukunda Datta told Gadatharpur would like to meet up here. Devoting a friend of mine who wouldn't want to meet a pure devotee, right? Somebody asked want to meet a pure devotee? So they went to see Pundari Vidinity. Bhag was expecting to see maybe some kind of a renunciate or sadhu or someone chanting his japa. But instead he goes and sees, pondering. Vinidi is like in a really plush opulent living facility. Tapestries on the wall, big brass lamps like we use for Darshanga Day where's no electricity, right? But most people maybe use some simple really opulent lamps. Multiple lights, silken cushions, bolster pillows and Elena. There were two assistants putting scented oil in his hair, rubbing it in. Two others were fanning him with chamaras. So Gadara is saying, where am I? You know, this is not the profile he expected from, you know, pure devotee. This seems like sense gratification. So you have to be careful sometimes to jump to conclusions. All these devotees wanted to serve Kundari. He wasn't attached to these things. This is just kind of a profile he was presenting to the world. But he was fully absorbed always in Ka. So feeling the tenseness of Gaddadar and Mokundadatta started to do a kirtan. He also did the same kirtan. Maybe I don't know the same one, but the same topic about putana, about Krishna's mercy. That one seems to really get the people's hearts. So this one got pundari. And he started to feel like Krishna is so merciful. I mean, it's so merciful. He started feeling so much separation from Krishna that all his fancy silk shirt started ripping it and feeling separated. Krishna, Krishna, Krishna. Pulling his hair. Mukunda kept singing more and more about Krishna. Pudrak was becoming more mad in ecstasy, in separation, rolling in the ground, smashing over the lamps. The servants were trying to stop the place from falling on fire. The tapestry is, you know, destroyed. He never saw anybody go into such ecstasy. This wasn't like a show. This was the real thing. Like with Lord Caitanya, he was just being. The more Mukunda saying about Krishna, the more he became just unbelievably mad in love of Ka. Ganadhar said, why did I blow it? I mean, that's not the words he used. That's how we would say it that I make a mistake that he's such a pure devotee and I thought he was a materialist. He just destroyed, you know, put the bill up. So many rupees worth all this. I mean, the whole room's finished. He's obviously so much attached to faith. Like, you know, I used to have one auntie whenever I was a real wild kid when I was like 6 years old, make a mess of everything. She'd cover all her furniture with white sheets. See, I couldn't even. I had to sit on the floor. She's afraid I'd spill something on her furniture. See, though maybe normal people are a little attached to all their belongings just hearing about Krishna, they wouldn't go wild and start spilling stuff all over their furniture. So Ningdha thought, well, I made this offense and I thought that he was a material materialist. But now I see he's so much attached to Ka. How am I ever going to get forgiven for My apparat, if we make the wrong value judgment on a devotee it's a big impediment in our spiritual life. So I think I have to become his disciple because the Guru always forgives his disciples. So if I become his disciple then I'll be forgiven for my offense. So Mukhunta said, well, let's discuss it with Lord Caitanya. They went back and discussed it with Lord Chaitanya and said I think it's a good idea. Let Garadhar take initiation from Pundury. Punditri is obviously older. It so happens that Pundari Vidyanidhi is the incarnation of Bishop Banu Maharaj from Krishna Leela who's Usha Banu Radharani's father, who's Gaddadhar. So Gorlila becomes his guru father Radharani becomes the guru of Radharani's incarnation, the spiritual father. So Lord Caitanya personally organized the initiation ceremony and performed it. The two were initiated. Of course probably the most detailed exchanges between Lord Chaitanya and Gaddadhar were more described in Chaitanya Charnam Rita. When Lord Chaitanya was going to Vrindavan and then Gdadhara wanted to go with him. When Lord Siddharth was traveling out of Jagannathuri and Gaddad wanted to go but he had become a Chetra Sanyasi he was took a vow of staying in Sri Ketra, not leaving the dam. One kind of sannyasa that stays in a particular dam. So when he got to the edge of that dam the Lord Chaitanya told him, don't break your vow. He said, to hell with my vow, I can't leave you. And they went on the boat and crossed the river which was the border of Kshetra went to the other side. The Lord said, okay, you proved your point. Your love for me is stronger than all your vows. But I can't let you do this. Neither can I let you travel with me. Now you proved your point. Now you have to go back and God have things here very intimate exchanges. So Gidadhara Prabhu was worshipping Toda Gopinath. We heard in the old days the richly Toda Gopinath Jagannath Puri was standing. But when Vedantar was going to have another Pujari come and do the worship because he could reach with the garlands that Tonegobinath sat down so that he could continue to accept the worship of Garadhar. Lord Chaitan would regularly visit Tonagobinad temple with seeing Radahar Radharani had expressed a desire that Krishna Leela she couldn't associate with Ka publicly because she was a woman that she wanted to be because of the Parakiya situation. So she wanted that the next pastime she can come as a man and she can be with Krishna as a friend publicly associate with him. So this Caitanya Leela her desire was fulfilled. She could come as Gaddadhara Panga but since Lord Chaitanya was in the mood of Radharani so he was assisting Lord Chaitanya Lord Chaitanya continued to take the role even in the mode of Rani. A few things on Gidad Harpurbu I think the deities must have left for the boat Festival at 6:30 I have congregational awards night. We're going to show some audio visual and then give out awards and hope that everybody who is involved or everyone will come there for the congregational awards night. Satchinandamarra said he'd also come and speak. We'll hear from different devotees. Thank you for watching our videos. Be sure to subscribe to our channel.
