It's Sam. It's Ram. It's Ram. Ram. It's Hari. Hari. Nam. Sam. It's Ram. Ram. Ram. Ram. Ram. Jo.

Sam.

Sa. Oh no.

Those great sages who have completely taken shelter of the lotus feet of the void can at once sanctify those who come into touch with them. Whereas the waters of the Ganges can sanctify only after prolonged use.

Scientific.

Report by Srila Prabhupada the pure devotees of the Lord are more powerful than the waters of the sacred river Ganges. One can derive spiritual benefit out of the prolonged use of the Ganges waters but one can be sanctified at once by the mercy of a pity Lodhi of the Lord and Bhagavad Giba. It is said that any person regardless of birth is Sufyan, woman or hardship can take shelter from the lotus feed of the Lord and by so doing can return to guidance. To take shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord means to take shelter of the pure devotees. The pure devotees whose only business is serving are honored by the names Prabhupada and Vishnu Pod which indicates such devotees who take shelter all the lotus feet. The pure devotees whose only businesses serving are honored by the names Prabhupada and business Krishna path which indicates such devotees to be representatives of the lotus feet of the Lord. Anyone therefore who takes shelter of the lowest feet of a pure devotee by accepting the pure devotee as his spiritual master can be at once purified. Such devotees of the Lord are honor equally with the Lord because they are engaged in the most confidential service of the Lord for they deliver out of the material world be fallen souls whom the Lord wants to return all back to Godhead. Such spiritual Lord is better known as vice lords according to revealed scriptures. The sincere disciple of the pure devotee considers his spiritual master equal to the Lord but always considered himself to be a humble servant of the servant of the Lord. This is the pure devotional path. There I want to sit for a sacrifice and hear the glories of Krishna for a thousand years. To hear the words of Krishna from fear devotee is the most auspicious. So it's more purifying even than breathing in the Ganges. Gantis is coming from the lotus feet of the world and the Bhagavad Gita is coming from his lotus mouth. So what can you bathe in Ganji's water you can bathe in the vibration.

Of.

Both are purifying. But the association of pure Deloni is considered to be more prudent. This is that the Lord is taking complete shelter of the Lord's freedom of.

Lord.

Stresses here how the pure devotee is acting as representative of the lotus feet of the Lord. Someone is a representative to so long as they're serving the Lord to pay serves you. When they're fully serving the Lord and someone serves them, then they get benefit of serving Krishna. And plus bonus when some.

Of the.

Lord by serving him, you get the blessing of the Lord. Maya is trying to make us forget.

Ka.

To make us identify that we are the body and we're the mind. So many times we hear people say I want to be true to myself, to do what I really feel like doing. But sometimes most cases that what they're saying is I want to be true to my mind, my senses. Because according to their conditioning they have got a particular taste inclination for sense gratification, but it's not their eternal self. So in Krishna consciousness we want to elevate people also to perceive their actual real self interest, the interest of eternal spirit self. Sometimes devotees are doing devotional service on the platform of the metro platform.

And.

Then when the mind.

That'S not.

A fixed position so far.

When the.

Mind changes, then they get offered devotional service. So we want to bring people above the mental platform to actual realization.

So.

That they can experience the nectar of Ka consciousness and understand and all the scriptures that describes the qualifications of such a person. They have their equals under different circumstances when they gain something or when they.

Lose something.

When they're praised, when they're criticized. In 12th chapter Bhagavad Gita, that's six verses, they say so many qualifications. As someone who's dear deficient.

In the.

20Th verse is someone who gave Krishna as the ultimate goal and completely fixing Krishna. So as somebody, we want everyone to reach the stage where they actually realize the transcendental. They realize the exchange between Krishna and the devotee. So we need a serving Krishna in order to do that without trying to surrender the Krishna. We're not going to realize what this spiritual ecstasy is. If you want to test whether an experiment works in a laboratory, you have to do it. Then if it works, then you know, you realize it works. In our science laboratory they gave us some hydrogen and we would light that with a match and after it would be like a little explosion. And then you would find one water on the side of the glass and the teacher would say hydrogen and oxygen produce H2O, which is water. Now I realized water Tattva. So now we want to be realized every day realizing aqua Tattva and pizza tattva. So many truths that we realize now you want to realize. So how we can realize that Krishna is giving us his mercy as we're surrendering to Krishna through his bona fide representative. And we can realize through this practical experiments of devotional service how it's working. Just like by chanting Hare Krishna, one's gradually able to control the mind. But this is also a science. If we commit offenses against the holy name of Vai, then we lose the protection. So you have to be very careful not to commit any offenses. Offenses are to the Vaishnavas are described as a matal Hati or mad elephant offense. So Madam Hati means elephant. So when a man elephant comes into the garden, just ripping out everything.

Pulls.

Out the trees right from the root happens the leaves don't dry up immediately, right? Takes a few days for them to dry up. Maybe a week, 10 days. But gradually, because the root is pulled out from the ground, they start to turn brown.

Wrong.

And they drive. When we commit offense to the Vaishnavas.

Then.

This is what happens. Spiritual people gets uprooted gradually lose the taste for our emotional service. Then material life starts to appear very attractive. Because we want from being happy. So if we're not giving spiritual happiness, then we go to material happiness.

Happiness.

And this way we can go from being in devotional service to being back into my offenses. So we need to be very careful about this us. And if we pray to whoever we may have offended, we can get forgiven. One day Lord Chan was giving all his associates blessings. Said, please give mother Suchi the blessing of love for Krishna. What do you mean? Why care? Such a great devotee committed by shaman, she cannot get love for Krishna. It's like inconceivable. She's such a great devotee. She's serving all the time. The mother of the Lord, what offense has she committed? All of these are commissioned.

What?

Chania revealed that when he used to go when he was young, he go to get his brother from the class Bhagavatam class of the Vaitacharya. And then he would end up sitting and listening to the class also. But then mother Sachi, when it became delayed, he would start to. She started to criticize the greater chariot. Just keeping her son so late. And she was feeling frightened that maybe they'll become sannyasis. She was criticizing, complaining about a dark natural. So because of this, of course she was always engaged in the holy service. She got everything else but she didn't get for her. So one day they. They told Mother Sachi, you got to go and get forgiveness from also to go. All of the Lord is there. They came to see a great child. Why am I so fortunate? Everybody's here. She's committed some offense to you and you have to forgive her. Otherwise you can't get love for God.

Me.

Nobody can offend me because I'm too loud to be of them.

Great.

She's always serving the Lord. She's always caring for him. She's Krishna conscious all of the time. Actually start really remembering all the wonderful pastimes of Mother Sachi and Lord Caitanya. Then he started glorifying Mother Sachi more and more. And he's getting more and more excited, ecstatic. Finally he got so ecstatic he fainted in ecstasy. So it was hopeless. She's never going to forgive mother such because he's not accepting any of them. He thinks Mother Sachi is much greater than him. So how she can. So why is the unconscious of what told her? Quick, now's your chance. Touch his Lord's feet. By touching his Lord's feet, you'll get forgiven for the offense.

Praise.

So she got forgiven for her of it. The previous Acharya said that even Ujja Marikari in a vector of devotion is mentioned. Even a Uttamarikari can fall down from his position if he assumes hands. That means an advanced body can fall down even if they offend a neophyte. So advanced devotees, they should know better than to offend anyone. So they were morally very careful.

You see.

But then what to speak? If that can happen to an advanced devotee, then what to speak of a neophyte devotee if they offend an advanced devotee. So that's why we had to be very careful to avoid these offenses. The father of Sutra Goswami, Ramah, he was abruptly removed because of offensive mentality. He didn't stand up to receive validate. He thought he was a guru. I don't have to stand up for anyone. But Buddha is only representative of Lord. If Lord himself comes, then you have to stand up. Does he know the DNA? Your ambassador? You may be the big person in the embassy, but if the president of the country comes, then you become like a servant.

So.

This way, Ramaharishnah, he didn't give respect and he was removed. And Sutta Goswami was put in his place. So now everyone's appreciating Goswami as a devotee. So this Ganga is also mentioned. We bathed be Ganges many times and gradually it changes our Mentality.

We get.

Purified from sins, right? But mentality you again to meet more sins doesn't change so fast. Gradually by bathing in the Ganti so you become more and more attracted to Krishna and become less attached to material life. But it may take considerable time to fully have that effect. But this one has association with the pure devotee. That change may happen even immediately. There are some devotees who lecture the Prabhupada and they have an immediate change of their ideas. He changed the mentality of Megrary the hunter in one.

Direction. Hello.

Sometimes the spiritual master has to accept respect from the disciples because that's part of his responsibility. He has to think that it's actually all meant for Christians. In this way, the body always protects himself from this danger.

Comprehensive.

If one isn't careful, even if there appeared anonymity, then this is like a science. It will have its effect. There was a lady in my airport. She was praying to the.

She was.

The doctors told her that she was going to blind. Going blind. She went to the just to say this may be the last darshan I have of you. Then that night Nasinya day came in a dream and told her that before they had red eyes and you took. My red eyes were taken and green eyes are put into place. If the red eyes are put back, you can have back your eyesight.

So then.

That'S his angry mood he's looking for. So they put back the red eyes. Practical everyone could realize the mercy of Lord Jagger. Of Lord. So many pastimes happen with these deities. Everyone realizes that the the world of rest very powerful. Many miracles happened. Sometimes three students came. But there was that time no electricity and the ghee lamp had burnt out just when they came. So the temple was dark. They got there, couldn't see anything. It was all dark. They started criticizing. There's no juggernaut here. The way I walk here for nothing. This is just a fluff. Then all of a sudden big flame like a gas flame shoot out from the. From the Gewick.

Sitting there.

You boys just criticize the Lord. Look at he's doing a miracle just to give you his direction. There's no more He. There's no more wheat. It's just coming out the lamp, the light by the Lord's mercy. So they started paying their obeisances again and again and circumvented the deity and please forgive me. So sometimes the Lord gives some special mercy just to instill faith in the devotees and to give them some special benediction.

Like that.

There's hours and hours of past tenses happen with his spirit. Somehow another by practicing Krishna consciousness, we need to realize this science. Krishna protects the waters. We need to stay always under that protection of Krishna. We've seen so many different things happen. Krishna unconscious, being attacked by different kinds of Mayas. But so somehow Krishna is always protecting us and things are again increasing. We have to learn from whatever mistakes others do and whatever mistakes we do not to make the same mistakes.

Done.
