#JayapatakaSwamiArchives Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Class (5.1.1) || Balarāmadeśa #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

A recorded Śrīmad Bhāgavatam class by Jaya Pataka Swami (archival YouTube lecture) focused on devotional life and practical guidance. Key themes in this chunk: the importance of the six Goswamis as removers of obstacles and compilers of Kṛṣṇa-līlā; the centrality of guru and vaiṣṇava association and meditation on śrī-guru/śrī-vaiṣṇava-pāda; detailed exegesis of the King Priyavrata (Priyārata) chapter — questions about why a self-realized king entered household life, the dangers of attachment and bondage of karma, role of brahmacarya/naisthika-sannyāsa training, and Brahmā/Brahmadeva's instruction to maintain Kṛṣṇa-consciousness while ruling; pastoral guidance for modern devotees on transforming household duties into devotional service (stages of life gṛhastha→vānaprastha→saṃnyāsa, donation/charity guidance, preaching practices) and contextual anecdotes (temple administration, preaching in the Middle East, Kurma temple pilgrimage).
By mercy of Krishna we get Guru Raman. How many of you know English? How many know English? Actually you know English. You know. You know English. The red sari there beyond the yellow. Sorry, there's a red sari. Do you mind this? Everyone who doesn't know it. Local meditation. Main. Main things that we need to remember in our devotional. You're giving them mercy through all these things. Then it goes to the six Goswami. This is very important. Now from here on six Go Swamis are the very dear servants of Lord Chaitanya. The child saying do not dance custom, it changes. Why these six Go Swamis? They are very special because they remove all obstacles. Just like we take Ganesh is Vignesha. In some places Guru is also Vignesh. He takes away the vignas. Vigna Vinashad. Nashingadev is Vigna Vinasha. And for devotees of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the six Goswami is. They remove obstacles. Gyan Puja, how many of you have any obstacles in your spiritual life? The dust from their lotus feet is my five types of food. Aharon. I want to serve you. See their lotus feet and live in association with the devotees for their Charan Singh to serve their lotus feet. Charan means lotus feet. Shalom. I'm very happy to serve in a life after life. That's his intention here. This is very important for us. Because serving an association of devotees is very important. Because devotees have different outlook on life. We get more strength in the association of devotees. So they do different. Let's go to the program at the hall. Let's have some spiritual prasadam. So that association also that appreciation. We know that to serve Krishna in association with devotee that's like being in the spiritual world. Six Go Swamis. They reveal Radhakrishna's eternal past times. What they're doing Ashtaka in Leela. When Krishna is going, when he goes to Radhakunda, when he goes to Govardhan, when he goes to Suryakunda. When he goes Jol Kyakya Karma, Kishta Kika Lila Abkhubis, Ganta Andama, Ashtar Jo Prahar Lilah Bhagavad, Puran Mehai Puran Bhagavad Study Kiyan. Because it's all scattered like Brahma Bhai Varcha Purana has something. This Purana has something that Puran. So none of us had the time to study all the Puranas and piece it together. They took it all together and put it. This is what's going on plus to their own realization and some secrets revealed to them. They get a full picture. That's why we are very indebted to them. So I'm chanting Ananda Bolo Hari. There's a special ecstasy. This verse is very ecstatic. When you say it, you feel so happy. Sa so I said so that time things are developing. He's saying that I'm worshipping Vrindavan and great happiness, chanting the holy names. I'm meditating on the lotus feet of Guru Vig Vaishnava. And he says Sri Guru Vaishnava Pada Padman Kuriyas. I simply desire the service of the Guru and the Vaishnava. This type of meditation and prayer sung in a more of a quick temple. I don't know all the not so much of a Bhajan singer lack of time. But we have these Bhajans every week. Manusha Janamapaya Rahakrishna Bharjaya Bhajiya Janiya Somya Vishakhanam India. Rubbish idea. I ate poison. Knowingly I ate poison. John Bush gave this kind. John Bush came this kind of tire Materialistic life poisons our spiritual life. Of course you can say that spiritual life poisons the material life. Once you get a taste for spiritual life then Middle east in predictions inquire from Sukhade Goswami. O Great Sage, why did King Piyavatta who was a great self realized devotee of the Lord remain in household life which is the root cause of the bondage of karma primitive activities and which defeats the mission of human life? Report by Srila Prabhupada in the fourth canto Srila Sukhadev Goswami explains that Naraj that Narada Muni perfectly instructed King Priyanharata about the mission of human life. The mission of human life is to realize oneself and then grant you to go back home back to Gandhi. Since Narada Muni instructed the king fully on this subject, why did he again enter household life which is the main cause of material violence? Maharaja Parikshit was greatly astonished and King Priyarata remained in household life. Especially since he was not only a self realized soul but also a first class devotee of the Lord. In devotee actually has no traction for household life. But surprisingly, King Priyavatta enjoyed household life very much. One may argue why is it wrong to enjoy household life that in household life one becomes bound by the results of fruitful activities? The essence of household life is sense enjoyment. And as long as one engrosses his mind in working time for sense enjoyment, one becomes bound by the reactions of fruit to activities. This ignorance of self realization is the greatest defeat of human life. The human form of life is especially meant for getting out of the bondage of fruitive activities. But as long as one is forgetful of his life's mission and acts like an ordinary animal, eating, sleeping, waiting or fending, he must continue his conditional life of material existence. Such a life is called Swarupa Vishmti, forgetfulness of one's real constitutional tradition. Therefore, Vedic civilization One is trained in the very beginning of life as a Brahmachari. A Brahmacharya must execute austerities and refrain from sex indulgence. Therefore, if one is completely trained in the principles of Brahmacharya, he generally does not enter household life. He is then called Anais Tiki, Anais Tika which indicates total celibacy. King Parishit was thus astonished that the great King Priyarata, although training the principles of Naishtika Mancharya, entered household life. The words of Bhagavata Atmarama operation mitigated in this verse and one is self satisfying as is the supreme personality of God. He is called Bhagavata Atmarama. There are different kinds of satisfaction. Karmis are satisfied in their fruit tube activities. Genis are satisfied to merge into the effulgence of Ramada and devotees are satisfied to engage in this Lord's service. The Lord is self satisfied because he is fully occupant and one who is satisfied by serving him is called Bhagavata Atma Rama. Of the many thousands of persons, one may be atevor for liberation of many thousands of persons. Attempting to become liberated, one may achieve liberation from the anxieties of material existence and become self satisfied. Even that satisfaction, however, is not the ultimate satisfaction. The Ganese and the Kaimis have desires as do the Yogis, but devotees have no desires. Satisfaction in the service of the Lord is called Akama freedom from desire and this is the ultimate satisfaction. Therefore, Maharaj breaks it in plague. How could one who was fully satisfied on the highest platform be satisfied with family life? The word Prabhava in this verse is also significant. When one is satisfied in family life, he is doomed because he must already have forgotten his relationship with the boys. How Maharaj describes how the activities of family life implicate one more and more Atma Patam Vinavanda Kupam Also life is like a dark well. If one falls into this well, his spiritual death is assured Apriya Vrata Maharaj remain the liberated Paramahamsa even within family life is described in the very next verse. Devotees are certain liberated persons. Therefore they greatest of the Brahmanas. They cannot possibly be absorbed in family of theories. So this is the this canto first chapter, first verse and second verse. It Maharashtra was the son of Swayambhuva Baba. He as a disciple of Narada Muni has been practicing his devotional service and become very advanced. So he was able to be totally absorbed into Krishna as a prince of Norma charity. His father asked him to take over the ruling of the world. Then he was concerned that maybe I'll get diverted from my spiritual path if I had to take up all these family affairs. So then in order to countermeasure not quite agreeable, although he can't refuse his father, at the same time he wanted to be sure that this was the right thing to do. So this chapter is actually the discussion where Brahmadev comes down and preaches to King Priya brother Prince Priya Bratta on how he can remain Ka conscious in the grand stall life and how he can rule the world and still not be diverted from his devotion service. So this is very relevant because here most people are new has to serve, probably planning to be a Grihasta if they're not one already. And it's also the verses we read today highlight that Grihasta life without Ka consciousness is very dangerous. I know I met one man who came to me and said Samsara Parodharam household life is the supreme Dharma. But they said that you cannot find these things in anywhere in the Shastra. Rather saying that Vyasa life is of course it's much more responsible than someone who is just like a bachelor and not taking any responsibility. At the same time, it's very much entangling in the material for two activities. Whenever we have any happiness in material life, that means we're getting more implicated in material suffering. So ultimately it came down to a simple formal we have to do what the Lord wants us to do. If the Lord wants us to be a vivasta, be a king or be a whatever, that we do it because the Lord wants us to do it and that sometimes people, they come, they already rehastas, they've already been in their family entanglement, they want to leave it. The Mochitanians said, don't talk about that because that's also artificial. Rather transform your rehastal life to a preaching mission. He told one we have this year we went to The Kurmastan. It's about two, three hours drive from Recycle Patnam. You heard of the Sakapatu? So the door went to Korman is. Yeah, it's March. You have to go on national highway. It's very close to only the Sagapa. I may be wrong. I got the impression that we are going north Shukrona. But anyway, anyway, whichever way, one way or the other, it's another way. But I think they are going to go the opposite way towards the northern side. Towards Orissa. I think so. Because otherwise we could have gone the other way to Vijayana. But we were here to go the other way. Vijayana, that is called Vijayana towards. So I have swine. Actually this very ancient temple. They say that in India, in the world it's the only Kurma temple. Have you ever heard of another Kurma temple? Kachap. This Lord Tortoise. They keep saying Lord Tortoise. So he's got around back and forelegs and head and tail. The tail was somehow. I don't know what happened to the tail. So a big tail was given by Shankaracharya. Adi Shankar. He gave a big Sudarshan chakra shield which is put by the tail. You see his head and his legs you can't see. But they say the legs are underneath the legs covering some claws who cover the legs. So this deity, let's say helps to remove the poor. Vajanam Kalanka. Any kind of previous birth difficulties. If anybody is facing some kind of problem from their previous birth. So you can figure out why I'm facing this problem. That type of problem is destroyed by karma. Personality problems, health problems, spiritual obstacles. So Lord Chaitanya, he is famous because when he went there he had cured one leper Masud for leprosy. So everyone knows in the time of 500 years they all know. Lord Shetanya put his lotus footprint there. The Lord Chaitanya visited here and he cured a leopard. So that when handed down from father to son. See also there was one Brahmana who came to him, said, I got house, I got family, I got all kinds of facilities. Wife, children, money, social status, everything. But I'm not happy. So don't leave everything until I knew what becomes a Vyasa. Then Lord Caytania said, Lord, I want to hear this from you ever again. Don't these words should come from your mouth. This is like a monkey. You don't like what you're doing. You want to renounce everything. This is not renunciation. Rather you use your Family as a base for preaching. You have your social status, you have your social, you have everything. So now you can tell everyone. You meet Parikshit Maharaj. He's first to die. What's the first thing he did? He left his family duties, left his kingly duties. He's sitting by the side of the holy river and he's asking the sages, tell me what I can do to get liberation. Because he knows there's happiness that we get in a family. Life isn't free. It comes with a price. It comes with the price of repeated birth and death. So somebody is really interested in their liberation. Then they have to somehow counteract that. Normally, like if you're in the Gana mine, a lot of people are Ghanaians. We like Gyanis, so we like Karma Kanda. But Karmakanda anyway doesn't give liberation at all. All it gives is swargavas heavenly. And the Gyanis, they also, they say if you want to get liberation, you have to be a Sanyasa. It's only the Bhakti yoga. But you'll have examples like Kriyavhtra Maharaj, like Brikshit Maharaj, like Dhula Maharaj, like Yudhisthia Maharaj, like Arjuna Maharaj, like Aparusha Maharaj, people who were householders, who live with their wife and family, or like Draupadi, Ladi, Sai Fonti, Countermine and many other great Vaishnavis because they were engaging in devotional service as a grihasta, they could overcome. The danger that household life brings is that we are too much happy. When you find someone who is, oh, I don't have no means spiritual life. I am very happy. I mean, the person is in big danger. They don't realize. What it means is that you are very happy. You are very attached to material life. You're doing all kinds of karmas. But you have to again take birth again. If you again take birth, you're going to come back, you're not going to get moksha in the life. And because of the if there's bad karmas that were performed, maybe this life you had a good birth Brahmana or something. If you don't do even the good karmas like previously people, at least in household life, they did the karmas, they did their Satkarma kriyas. So as a result, every time they could get another good birth. But now people are not even thinking that I got a good job in Infosys or in some company. And this is because of my hard work and my good education. They don't see that this is because of their karma, that from previous life they would get opportunity to have a good education, have the opportunity to get a good body so that everyone can walk behind the video camera. It's not a common thing. There's lots of people in this world who don't have a good education, who don't have a big salary. Many of our devotees, they are struggling, working hard and don't have that same opportunity. Why did somebody get ahead and somebody didn't? The carnivores are not the materialistic people. They think it's just because of our hard work. But even in America you have poor people also. It's not like the American dream includes within it a lot of suffering people. Also there's no social support. I would say the American dream is probably more relevant, more you could say the Australian dream or the New Zealand dream or the Swedish dream, or even a poor person can get medical treatment in America they don't have a subsidized medicine unless you who can under some special category of Medicare. And a poor person doesn't get the medical treatment they need. It's doesn't exist. It's very difficult. It's not social, it's not a socialistic state. It's totally anabolistic. So a lot of people are suffering everywhere in the world. Even able people have all of that they need. It doesn't mean that they don't suffer. So how we get how much happiness, how much distress, how much success? It says we're getting the result of good karmas from previous life. Charity given pujas performed different kinds of sat karmas that were performed that gave a good birth and a good education. They gave an earth body with a certain capacity to it. They get all these kind of freedom from disease. And the lack of those things are due to less karma. Somebody is not doing any karma in this life, not doing any charity, not doing any right kind of charity. Some people do charity, which is maybe they're distributing fish to the Cambodian refugees or something. They're actually doing a bad karma because they're responsible for killing. So they should do the right kind of karma. But even if they do good karma, they get a good birth, that's all. Doesn't mean moksha for gana. They can study gana and all that, but they won't get the liberation till they are free from the family. But according to Shankaracharya, if you take his point of view, so that's why actually the Bhakti Yoga is so important. Everybody needs to do Bhakti Yoga. Living in charity, the Ka but also practicing Railway Day, our daily activities as offering to Ka. This is what I said. Some people call it too religious. Most people that say too religious, they think that they're going to take birth again. It's not true. Religious is the. But it's actually what we need. We need to have a regular sadhana, a regular practice that we wash and alternate. And that is some of these. That's therefore the Girastas as well as the Vairagis, the Grihastas type of devotional service will be different. But that's why this Priya Rata chapter is very important. Because at face value, like Preksha, just saying, well, he's a Grihasti. So from a very superficial point of view, he's thinking that, well, he's enjoying Grihasta life, he's having children, he's a king, he's having money, all these things. So he's entangled. See, but that's obviously. I mean even a great devotee like Parikshit is not fully clear about the greatness of devotional service. Because generally people are trained in Karma and Gyan, maybe little yoga. Bhakti is very confidential practice. Even Parikshit Mahaj is such a great devotee. He is asking such questions. His parents are so great, his grandparents the Pandavas. But he has also this doubt. So this chapter reveals actually how we are about to buy the practice of Bhakti Yoga by carrying out the order of Ka. He didn't want to be married. Actually, he's resisting, he's questioning his father is not dangerous. For me, sometimes you get that situation where in a family one of the children doesn't want to get married, doesn't want to be involved. In our family they want to do devotional service. Quite rare. But it happens occasionally when the parents, they try to pressure the child. Because normally if someone doesn't want to get married, it's not good. Maybe they'll have some illicit relationship. Maybe they'll have some love marriage later. Better to find a good girl that will able to train a good family. This is the normal logic. It was quite reasonable logic actually. But from the traditional point of view, I mean, I respect that. But there are some cases where someone is really spiritually advanced and they're not inclined. This case happened with one of the very rich families in India. One of the billionaire families is the son. He wanted to become a devotee at one point. Imagine the Parents flipped out with his only son. The only son. He was really dumb. Sometimes the youngest son or some get away with was only son. Then their parents, you know, they did all the. All the plugs they pulled and they stopped the boy that you absolutely can't do anymore. Devotion also. But he was very nice devotee. And then. Okay, so they succeeded to turn him away from Krishna a little bit. But then he know. Then the other thing happened is he got a few points. If he had practiced more bhavir usually 90% even they practice devotionals. Or they usually get married. Not 90, 99, 98, 99. Anyway, they did marry. But after some preparation in this case, the parents flipped out. They didn't let him go to the temple much. Then he sent him off somewhere. Then he got into love with some girl. The parents didn't like that girl either. They said you can't marry them. Finally they both have a boy and a girl. They commit suicide to heal. And then their parents, they're devastated. What have we done? They're over trying to control every step of life. Control, control, control. Finally they finished. Then they realized had he let him be devoting, everything would have happened a totally different way. Maybe we were wrong. He was a good boy. He was a spiritually inclined boy. We didn't let him follow what his calling was his aspiration in the duke course. Whether he'd be married or not. Like Krishna would have seen that would have been revealed. But he had a calling at that time. At least block it then. Okay. Then he put him in warm ayah and he had done fall down kind of every step that we could Majesty. They donated many things in the name of his son. I don't want to mention the family either people, but they're very well known family. This is a family you see in the newspaper almost every day in India. It's one of the top 10 big families in India. So you face these things all the time. Sometimes somebody wants to become devotee and live in their temple. Usually they become. Then later, after some time they realize what their nature is. Whether it's better for them. But we advise in Kali Yuga we don't want people to become sannyasis. Sannyasis is not recommended. But someone takes some training as a Brahmachari when they're unmarried isn't a bad thing. If they have inclination, then they can take that training. Then at some point in the progress, they decide whether they want to remain as a Brahmachari or they want to get married. As I said, most People, they're out for marriage, it's a bit secure. But this time though, they marry a Krishna conscious girl and the girl wants also a good husband that's Krishna conscious. They try to create a Krishna conscious family. So that's the situation that happened with Karna Mamuni, with Devahuti. He realized that I need to go through the Grihasta experience before I can do other phases of renunciation or anything. I need to experience that, I need to go through that. So he got married to Deva Ghuti who was daughter of the same Swayam Raman. But this is the seventh Shaya Muhammad. So now he wants to get. He should not maybe Shay Muhammad himself wants to know he's getting older. He wants now to go into Banapres, to go into the more retired life. So he needs his son to take up the load as the king. The son means the Khut is virtually inclined to what to do. So they can't end without forcing him. They convince him. That's the whole secret before somebody they're not convinced, they have to convince their wants or anything. In this case they are convincing. They become a Grihasta and how he can be saved. Because even the father, the son is not accepting what the father says. There's a clash here, father and son disagreement. Father wants you that you should become a householder. Son is saying, what about my spiritual life? Will I take leave safe? So Brahmadev himself is going to come down and instruct Piyarata. We're getting the top authority of the universe coming. Because being a Manu is not a small thing. It's like being Indra being Manu. Very big post. So really what's happening in Priyavanta is becoming one of the manus, something like that. He's thinking of ready made to rule in the universe. I don't know if he's becoming Manu or he's becoming head of the whole planet. But something but it's significant that millions of people are going to be depending on his guidance and management. So whole planet. So Brahma comes down and instructs him. And these instructions are really relevant for all of us. Even now as a Sanyatsi, we had to deal. We're battling the table Sanyatsu Karma Sanyas is totally forbidden in this Kaliyuga. Going off in the forest and just doing renunciation. Even we who are so called sannyasis, we take vow of celibacy. Apart from that we have to deal with. We have our like the Iskcon is A corporation in many countries with the corporate directors. Although we have to deal with the corporate problems. We had to apply for income tax exemption and we had to turn in our annual reports. We had to see that all the branches are meeting the I call procedures. If there's some disciplinary problem, we have to deal with it. We have to. So many factors we have to make planning for temples. Of course it's all direct service to Krishna. So that's the point is if we're doing something directly for Ka, even though it might appear to be like somewhat of a mundane activity, you could be planning a factory or we're planting a temple. But that's all the same civil engineering. We're sitting and looking at blueprints and we're seeing the floor plans and the master plans and all these things. So the activity is the same. But then we're doing it for Ka. So by doing it for Ka, it becomes spiritualized. She told us that he has to do the things for Krishna. That's the secret. Sometimes they do some direct things like they're pitching and they're having a Baki rickshaw in their house and they're coming to the program or listening to their classes. That's one way. Other thing is probably like their work they were working on getting a certain income. So that income also it's like kind of transferring our work into money. The money is the result of the work. So all the work sum total is the money we get out of it. A portion of that. If we're giving directly to some seva for Ka, that purifies to that extent our work. So we can never give 100% so that we get actually 50% of our profit of our surplus of what we don't, above what we need to just survive. Then actually that's as good as the Sannyasi Moli Bihasta would give. Of course, hardly anybody. I don't know. It's somehow hard to calculate what we need to survive. There are different ways of calculating it. Like if somebody wants to be a member of governing body commission, iskcon, that's a great hashim. He can do it. But then it says if he's working. There's three kinds. Those who are fully dependent on iskcon, those who are partially dependent. Those who are like self sufficient financially but they're working full time, more or less for iskcon, go part time, they're doing some independent business or something. And those who are totally outside employed. So for those who are totally Outside of Dubia, GBC discount the 50% they have to be spending in Krishna to show some 50%. They're spending somehow on ka conscious activities of their total budget. So they can be already exemplary Mashtas. Otherwise there's only people. We enforce it in this phone. We don't enforce it for others. It's their voluntary what they want to do. But some formulas are given how we can be ka catches and how we can get back to God here. Of course, normally even if someone goes to the Grihasta, like anyway the husband, wife or they retire, they become like Vanaprastha. So then already they can sit out of their grihastavari. But they're still living together. But as a vitalprastha they take celibacy. Wow. They don't have any more relations. So till that time they're reconsidered. Vihastas, even some Grihastas don't have relations. But they're still actively doing their businesses and managing things. When they kind of retire from all that and they're just doing preaching and they're just doing, you can say, visiting holy places and that type of thing. Spiritual activities, just guiding maybe the family business. The children are running. They guide them sometime, but they're not putting their hands on management. Then that's considered like a minor prestige. Or in the case of when they're still managing the business themselves. Yesterday we were at Balram Dish and there we met one Bihashtan who was 74, 4 years old. He's still managing his business, but his son is helping out. But he hasn't even upped the management of the business. He's still on it. So at 74 it's not really. It's not a lot of us today, although maybe new age some of it I don't know. So you have this kind of phases in life. Usually most people come up to many people. Not most, but rare. Some people might come up to Manapastha. The final stage of Manaprastha is one is quite separate from the family but still goes and visits and everything sees how things are going. Then the sannyas is actually running for fully renounce the connection with the wife for this time. Unless the wife give permission. You don't let anybody take something else. It has to be something really well organized for Nehasta. Or sometimes in one case, like Puri Mahars, his wife died of cancer and the daughter, though he still said wait two, three years because you have a daughter, let her get settled through your family, finish off all your duties as a Grihasta, then your wife is unknown. Then you can consider to use. In the beginning, people were taking sannyas very cheaply and the lesson was very unsuccessful. They'd go back to their families or they would be having anxiety or too much of a shock. So now there's a whole system. Like if somebody is under 40, they have to wait something like 10 years to get sin of. If they're over 40, there's a five year waiting list. Over 50, there's a three year waiting list. Plus they have to get permission from the family. Plus they have to settle down all the family. The wife has all systems maintained properly. She's got everything settled, some pension and all that. They have to do their diagnosis, then they can renounce. As long as the wife is of course the life, we leave sama something that's as long as the life is dependent on the aspect. So most people actually they stay as a grihasta. But they really need to really form their grihasta life so that ka is a nature. It takes a gradual practice, especially if they're just starting anew. How do they first start a few rounds and they start coming to the programs eventually. Then they regular reading and learning how to sadhana bhakti, doing pujas in their house and maybe a little contribution for some Ka conscious project or something. When they build their house back in India. When they build their residence, somehow it's good if they have the capacity, they have some facility where they can preach a lot. Also have a preaching room. If it's a little separate, then it won't be a disturbance for the family. Sometimes people, they don't like to go to somebody's house for programs in India. It's like that one reason or another, some family food or something. They have a separate facility. Then they don't mind, or it's a big hassle when people come in the house. They put their whole life on the household. So in some respects, if people have a standalone house, it's nice standalone teaching and sort of separate. Somehow to keep that now as a devotee, I had to continue on with my devotional service. Now being here in the Middle east is a special facility because Prabhupada said if you're doing some kind of preaching in a difficult place like the Middle east, you get thousand times the benefit. It's like being almost feeling the holy Dharma you get a thousand times. If you're in the Middle east, you get a thousand times. So here there are Bihastas who are doing the Bhakti bhikshas in their home or taking some responsibility to organize the programs and everything. They're really doing a great sacrifice. To different degrees some risks might have been involved. Now we know a lot of those risks have been neutralized by the new constitution and the support of the ministries and things of ambassador. But still there's always some tension a little bit because if neighbors complain or anybody complain that and it's always a problem, someone has to be. It's not like, you know, I mean even in the west of neighbor complaints sometimes the police come, you know. But here it is, your JavaScript so there's no tension. You want to do that thing so you do it carefully, there's no problem. But you have to be careful. That's always in Shamma there is some of. I told them you have to be very loud, people are gathering outside in front of. And so finally I told the house, in fact I ran from the house one night, I said, you people are crazy, you don't know where you are, you guys are all following me and everything. And I said to them, you can't do all this thing, you have to be ready to speak, stay in here, say goodbye inside, don't follow me outside, don't do all these things. And sure enough, some neighbor complaining that's a very time place, sharia law and everything. And they stopped, they didn't exploit it, there was no permanent damage. But eventually the landlord came and said no more program here, you're finished. So this attention always gave answer and sometimes, especially our Bangladeshi, the world, they don't complain but they're the very enthusiastic people, I love them dear to me.
