Now we'll hear from the lotus mouth of his Holiness. One more microphone.
Everything.
Thank you for the Kirtan. Especially that many histories are here in Kanban. This particular place over here there's a rock where Krishna used to slide. Some of you saw this footprint. I was here. I don't know when there was nothing here. We just climbed the mountain. Was not able to find these footprint. Now there's trust. They're building all these temples so we can remember more. Right after he took Sanyas. So there was big. And you know, he jumped in. Ganga decided to. He jumped in. What are you doing in Vrindavan? They took him to Shantipur. And that's a whole another unlimited Leela. Another time he was going to and he left. Many were following him. That's when he stopped to meet Sanajan and Rupa Goswami told him it's not good to go to Vrindavan with such a huge crowd. So he ended up going back to Puri for years. You know, he wanted to go to Vrindavan a good time. You should stay for one more festival. So many so finding them going. So he left. He just went early in the morning and he wouldn't let anybody follow him. Everyone was crying and crying and calling. And he didn't pay any attention.
Or.
So he got to Vrindavan. Of course it takes a long time. First thing he did was go around and Chamrida said, you know, he went to all 12 floors. He went to combat. One of these places had the quote he went to.
Yes.
We might have details other places. Exactly. And where he went. He traveled alone. He just had one servant. And so many things happen. And you go so many places. So when it would get then would interview the sermon. So the Buddhist, you know, ecstasy increased, you know what a thousand times. And when he got to the forest of Vrindavan and increased, so many things happened. He would be in so much ecstasy. They're taking a boat across the Jamuni. Would dance so much boatmanship over and he'd fallen unconscious.
Okay.
But he left the goswami here to, you know, create what we know.
The.
Places because he's Krishna. But he didn't tell Sanatan or anybody. He just said, you find all places. They came first. So Krishna Kanban is a very big place. So many, many things are happening. We heard something from. So Prabhupada was a great lover of Vrindavan. He said many times, I'm not in New York, I'm in Vrindavan. We might say, I'm not in Vndab and I'm in New York. Even though we're sitting here. Course they're unlimited. So you know, we don't have. We have Krishna book. We have so much Krishna pastimes would go every day. They would have to stop deep when a demon came playing so intensely they would forget about eating. But then after Krishna killed the demon. Oh yeah, no, it's time. Time to go home. And later. So we saw that previous place with Bhajan Stali. The Krishna would take this out of there.
Places.
Now there's, you know, a few footprints we can find. I heard that previously like Prophet Sanyas guru, he would take his disciples and there were many other footprints. But now nobody knows where they are. When a kura entered Raja, he saw Krishna's footprints. He just fell unconscious. You wonder how the Qura can see them. Nobody would step on Christian's footprint. You know, most people conference and get wiped out. Even the animals, they wouldn't. They knew where he went. We don't hear that much about. But of course they're described. I don't know all the symbols that we see there. It's very similar. So we are here and you know, we can try to absorb ourselves in the holy name. That's what One time I was walking over by our Krishna Balaram and one local guy. You can't chant Krishna here only, right? For a while I thought.
A propagation.
So there's many in Van, right here. I don't know exactly. One time people were Thinking Krishna and he's dancing in the Jamuna. Said can I. Can I go and see? And then they met some local people. They explained what it was that night. There's a fisherman standing in his boat. He had some lights down low. So they were thinking, that's the heads. And then people were telling anyway, you know, we could go on and on. He went to all 12 floors.
And.
The whole layout of the forest and everything was all done by Ricket Maharaj and Rajanav, grandson of Krishna. So he brought and they installed 108. I don't know if where the details were. He covered so much ground. So Fastanya or Exo art with her deka. Nobody was filming for a while. A few other people joined him.
And.
He fell unconscious, which was quite common. Then his gang came, these Patchan soldiers, his friends that they had poisoned him to steal his money. I didn't know Sannyasis in those days had a lot of money. So they were, you know, one was Bengali, one was crying and scared. And one of them was himself. He said, I have a big army over the hill and I'll call them client.
Sa.
He had many tactics to catch people, all kinds of people. They were worried because ecstatic things were happening too much. They thought he would get hurt or something. So in k. Actually the Pandava stayed in Kamiban for some time. So it's many, many holy place. It says you showed his kitchen. You were living here when Krishna was very small. So we, you know, we don't need to know exactly. We just know that Chaitanya came and he went and he was an ecstasy remembering Krishna. Big farm machines and buffaloes. I can't remember the details, but these mountains are very sacred mountains. If you look over the next one, you can see how they were. At one time they were breaking them and taking the stones. There was big, you know, from the side. It was very big protests and discussed.
That.
If you want to get absorbed, you can join the joined him and got the instruction. Actually if you read, Prabhupada didn't have money in printing. So that Chaitanya kindly gave us so that now we know where, you know, these best time places are. And there's facilities. And now there's roads everywhere. Yeah, it hasn't been an hour. I'm finished. So many devotees are chanting this. The very small child.
I have one very good news for you. That's the letter. Right now we have some ceremony that we will give some gift to Mahanta Maharaj here.
So we have to Wait for Rakhan radar.
You have to wait for.
Two minutes.
You have to wait that two minutes. I'll speak about Sri Lanka pastimes. Once Ravan came to Bibishan's house. Then Bibishan was devoted to Ram. Then he saw house Ram name is.
There.
Become very angry. What is this you have written? Ram. Ram is my enemy.
No, no, no.
My dear brother.
You don't understand what I have written.
You have to understand the meaning of this. Raman said so.
Really?
That's very good. But why only in your house? Tomorrow you order all of her Sri.
Lanka.
Different Lord comes. He never has entered into Sri Lanka. And he's from Odisha. And he joined with Dindavan and Sinha doing responsible service of congregational preaching. He is the main person behind all these efforts.
I'm sorry.
So we are blessed that we are here at Charan Pahadi. So one of the special place Charan Pahari. I think four lotus footprint of Lord Chaitanya is there in Vrindavraji side this to Matatasharala. So there is four place out of which one is here. Lord Ch's lotus food. Lord Krishna's lotus food. And we here installed. I think it is our first temple. After Guru Maharaj installed at Ra Madha Kundo. This is the second but first temple. So this is a very prime place. Until now we already installed 22nd. I will install 23rd. Maybe soon. But one small story. If Maharaj allow. So when last time I was in Mayapur and I went to Guru Maharaj's rooftop. And then Guru Maharaj told how many you are going to install. But as human pride we told calculation that 30 will do. But here we have only 22. We completed but many complication was there. Government program problem, many blah blah was there. Anyhow by guru Maharaj Mercy. 22 already completed and more maybe 40. We are waiting for. And due to this all this safari and things are there. So here we have the main person behind this. So here we have helped many things for construction and many things when the labors were there. So these two persons are there. So we'll give some gift from Prabhupada Bhagavad Gita and Samprashadam by.
Said by case of Gopi. Case from who? Please give big horrible on behalf of case of God Copicas per board on behalf of Guru Maharaj asking the what is prince and strong holy name.
