Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Class (2.10.22) || Tamil Nadu, India #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

Sam. It's. It's Sam. It's. It's. It's. It's Sam. It's Ram. Ram. Ram. Ram Ham. It's Ram. Ram Sam. Ram. Ram Sam Nir.

Jam.

Sam It.

Sami for all time. For development of the desire of the great sages to know the ears, the power of hearing, the controlling beauty of.

Hearing.

And the objects of hearing became manifested. The great sages desire to hear about the self report as stated in the Bhagavad Gita. By advancement of knowledge one should try.

To know.

About the supreme Lord, the summum bonam of everything. Knowledge does not mean knowledge only of the laws of nature or physical knowledge which are working by the direction of the Lord. The scientists are eager to hear about the physical law working in material nature. They are eager to hear through the medium of radio and television about things taking place far away from them on other planets. So they should know that the power of hearing and the instruments for hearing were given to them by the Lord for hearing about the self or about the Lord. Unfortunately, the power of hearing is misused in hearing the vibrations of mundane affairs. The great sages were interested in hearing about the Lord, the Vedic knowledge and nothing more. That is the beginning of oral reception of knowledge. Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta. Swami Prabhupada Translation and Purport Aveda Vyasas srimad bhagavatam mahapuranam 2nd canto 10th chapter 22nd verse in the matter of Bhagavatam is the answer to all questions. The sages wanted to hear about the self and the supreme self. And for that reason hearing became manifested. Hearing is the spiritual sense, the sense for hearing spiritual subject matter. Rabbi was saying, you're a scientist that you hear about the physical laws working in maternal nature. Rabbi sat with Sri Ramadhar maharaj at his 1996 drop a centennial World Synthesis of Science and Religion conference Galpetta. It's actually held 1997, January 1st. There was a Nobel Prize winner. Forget his name because I'm not in that lane. But he was a physicist and he was the discoverer of laser, which was a major breakthrough. He told us that. Someone told me that if I was going to be here, what religion is to discuss about science, 20 years ago I would have told that they were crazy. But here I am, because modern science, at least physics has reached the limit. Classical physics you know about, but the quantum mechanics, the quantum particles, whatever they are, they don't follow classical physical laws. So we don't know how they were dying Rukmini Krishna Satyabhami Jaya Chaganna Baladim Subhadra So we say they act like people that actually crouch us into.

He.

Was so eager to come to hear from religionists not about spiritual matters but about physics. He wanted to hear about consciousness because he thought it may have something to do with physics.

And rain.

Rayan offered him a blessing. So he wanted to know what is this material illusion? How does it work? And he smiled. We went at Kachhipuram yesterday we saw Varga Krishna Varga that he and saw guard Araj giving gifts, giving blessings for us boons. So many people ask for different booths but in a prayer by the Alwars they say where do I simply ask for spiritual things? What will my desires only be for a spiritual intriguing of all the material desires the desire to experience the pleasure of sex the desire for having money and power or will I simply desire to see the lotus feet of the Lord and surrender to his lotus feet the great sages I thought it was interesting was a surprise when Margaret Nirvishi he was like a scientist wanted to know how the material nature worked. So then Krishna said all right, you asked for it. All of a sudden his ashram filled with water. He was flooded. The whole world was flooded. He was swept away in the flood waters. He was being beaten by the waves, bitten by the fish. And then he saw this big tree, banyan tree with Krishna forward Krishna floating in a banyan, sucking on his toe. Then Krishna breathed in. He breathed in and Martin Nirrika breathed in through Krishna's breath. He was back in his ashram, dry, everything normal. Then Krishna breathed out back in the flood waters. So expert is Krishna in creating the illusion? I don't know finally, but practically I wish he understood Krishna's illusion is so wonderful. What's interesting about this section the Bhagavutam at first there was the desire to hear, desire to see, desire to smell and then after the desire there was a sense to do it. Then there was a sense object. There was a controlling deity to organize the whole thing. Everything was done very systematically but the first thing was the mercy of the Lord and the desire to have that particular perception. This I don't know. I was thinking this morning that was very interesting because I was thinking about some interface.

And how.

Did they seem to have a book where each of the different religions explanation of creation was detailed and they give the Bhagavatam creation It's like seven days there was creation. It's very simple of the creation of other Here it's very sanctification Everything is happening that here this is the verses.

Here.

Since we're going around on the safari one of the things we do is here hearing about the different holy places Yesterday also we went to see some of the temples and some of the deities manifested in Brahma he wanted to see a form of the Lord he meditated in Naima Sharanya where he got on the forest he meditated somewhere else Something else happened finally came to Kanchipuram and then he could see that the Lord manifested as a deity the first deity is supposed to be Kanchipuram the Lord desires Brahmalai Desire wants to see the form of the Lord.

So.

The Lord has a form the Bible says that Moses saw the burning bush you can see the Lord in light you can see him in water you can see him in air Hear him in air But Brahma wanted to see his form Then the Lord finally after performing in Yangya and Kancipora was is more powerful things manifested we went to Tirupati first which is the holy place by K Earth we have our temple there Beautiful temple Ashutosakhi Ravinda the only way they got cheaper and all these years I never I always wanted to go to see India why we don't have a temple there tonight should make a friend center holy place what are.

The.

In hardware we have something that's like we have a little temple in Pradas Puri all over the but we don't have the Kanchi Only the chakra chariots are all alone this by hand There are so many temples but if there's no preaching there's no hurry now I don't think it's easy to make Deloitte Whoever is already born in them Desire Desire to see the Lord Gentleman Jaya was listening to the pastimes of the Pandavas his forefathers and Krishna when he heard how Krishna went as a messenger and then Duryodhan planned to kill him and set traps But Krishna took the universal form took a gigantic form so he wanted to see the gigantic form of Vista so he prayed and did some Tapasya so much desire they have sometimes to see the Lord they do a lot we were so fortunate we just come and we see the Lord Rabbi as the scholar deities different devotees of scholar deities we're already going we're able to see so many wonderful deities but when they first hear wanted to see that more they did tremendous Naposya austerities, penances Somehow many people visited Kanchipuram not everyone even Radheshpura Keshava, Gurupur others this fandue their duke. I was looking through all the.

And.

I saw this one part of a root, 28 foot high. Krishna Devi. So you guys see that? You saw it then It's a little temple. People don't somehow miss it out. It's not. Sweat is inside. You can't.

You had to actually.

From the light.

Came into the dark. And I just saw the Utsav Kurti sitting on his lap, sitting down. And then I thought, why is this? Then like their eyes start focusing to see. This is a gigantic Krishna. It's like 15ft wide or 16ft wide.

Then they're looking.

Wow.

Someone said what really like that in Miami. Actually in Prabhu said they had so much desire to see the Lord. Bali Maharaj, when he was had his foot. Had the foot of chiligram on his head. He couldn't actually see the full form of chili grammar. He was on the earth and happened very fast. One, two, three. And he had the foot of the Lord on his head. So he couldn't see so clearly to it. So he came and did some austerities and praying. The Lord revealed his form by the needy there Hanshikorah. You saw that turbid ground, 35ft high, 24ft wide. With his leg going up and his foot on Bali's head. Bali's devotees had so much desire. And so the Lord appeared. We are going now and seeing. We should also have that desire. Least we can hear about the desire of these great devotees. Maybe we'll wear off on us. We'll develop a desire with seekers. Another prophet is sitting by the window here. Listen to the Russian translation. And so Sivat is not here yet. The first scandal. Bhagavan Prabhupada said that we hear in the morning. We ask questions and get answers. Everybody's asking where's the food? The birds are asking where's the straw for the land? Go over there. Everybody's asking material questions. But the sages, they were asking spiritual questions. That's why it's important to read the Bible tell you so many questions and answers. You don't know what questions to ask for these great sages. They ask so many questions, have the answers for us. This Vedic knowledge is known as Shruti. Shruti means the transcendental hearing. And those who heard then immediately explained it. That's sweetie. Remember nowadays, what's the first island.

You.

Should go to the second one. But the first one you go as the international one. That's the second as the island for hearing. Bengali park, that's the right. But we skip ahead. One ahead, one island ahead. And so we go to the courtroom first to the island of hearing lands.

But this is the text.

So this island of hearing.

Is the.

First island of God, of the family. We're hearing the message of the Lord to hope that during this tour, the safari for those on the safari, that they also take advantage of hearing. Yesterday I saw a big group of devotees crowded around to give some time to speak. I was oppressed by the eagerness of the Lord. I was appreciative of Maharaj's speaking and impressed by the eagerness of the devotees to hear. Everybody wanted to hear about Krishna. I don't know what he was talking about. It was about Guru Kippa training about diversity of Guru and Ka. We go to Mahabalipura in the afternoon. There's a sculpture there on the rock of Arjuna doing Tapasya to get their weapons. Sometimes you think these great warriors became Maharathis just like that. They did a few push ups or something. They did a lot of austerities. They learned mantras from Guru.

They got initiated.

So he got blessings. He was given weapons by all the different devas. That shows this in a sculpture, Huge sculpture still there. Very beautiful. We have the verses we can read about Manko coming. The Lord Chaitani would go to all these temples. He would ask what was the history of the temple, what was the story? And then he would listen. Like when he went to Sashigopal, heard how Adeni was. It was an ecstasy. Each of these temples has a history. Sometimes the Pujaris, when they're offering the lamp, they're telling the history of the deities. In Tamil.

It'S not so much useful for us.

Sometimes we have a Tamil devoting to translation. What are you going to? These are all histories. It's already said the book published by tdd. Instead of saying the history of the holy place, it says the mythology.

The.

Survivors history.

Historical.

Things happen here with great glories and great sages. We're very fortunate to be able to remember these histories. See these deities follow in the footsteps of Chaitanya Mahavrabur. He came to these temples, he chanted.

He preached.

Single handedly wasn't once an understood. He came across one village, this Ganachi next to the Manakshi, those in Pakshipuram. There was a village where people were.

Chanting their conscientatra mantra.

I heard about that. Somebody was doing village preaching and they came in one village and the people were chanting Sri Pichta, Caitanya Prabhuniti Ramana, Sri Advaita. They said that how did you know this mantra? So we don't know. Our forefathers handed it to us. Their forefathers handed it to them. Since time immemorial we've been chanting that this is for good fortune we should chant. We don't know what it means.

With.

Some beliefs like that Lord Chichen came 500 years ago. He went throughout so many villages. The main temples, main landmark places are mentioned but in between he visited and stayed in people's houses. He preached. He taught them the Chandra Ka.

Maybe.

The secretary talked about a Chandra and then after that you see for so many years after hundreds of years there was no follow up. You can get it from our congregational preaching. We have a poster triggered the vomit on the system. Got any posters here just yet? I put the data will make it.

Available.

First is contact cultivate then care how do they contact? Cultivation in here was left out for a while. Somehow Lord Chaitanya he had planted this seed everywhere. There was no one to water it for so many years. Hotel Srila Prabhupada came down here. There are many devotees who were preaching in South India down.

And we find.

That the people are very receptive. Like one of the Alwars number one Alvar is they're the great saints.

Who.

Are thousands of years old. They're something like liberated souls. Devotees are great saints. Liberated devotees who. Let's see Perfection. I don't remember all the names. These are very hard to pronounce. Prayers is an Awar Zaruda Then there's where we went to Vargaraj yesterday One of the Ahmad used to fan Margaraj talk to the lady Didi would talk to him. We may talk to Didi do Didi would talk to him never understanding. So they gave me the fanny I said I could fan Briar but he Hadi didn't talk. I didn't hear him talking. My receptivity was not warm My spiritual reason in the so these are very main devotees. One of them who was accepted as a consort she was like considered as some partial incarnation of Lashmi is Andal. We don't know so much about this anger because I don't know much. Just know that they're very great devotees and they were. Randal was the one who said we should go on Harinam San Kritan every day she go on the street and.

Change the names of Krishna and we.

Went to the see the Jeer of Sri Ramadan in The previous. In the previous safari that we came to saw he said you are all representatives of Andal Because Andal was their son huge time minister. He was. He was the one that told everyone to sang. They actually appreciate him and give Sankin. So now there's a devotee that came out of the book awa. We have been offered to the Devi the life history of the award Just in time.

Releasing it for the safari.

Today Releasing husband.

How much?

Only 150 rupees on a paper waste.

Really? But one of her unknown. It's got a picture and everything.

She married Rangana. So this is by others buy by Kukta Enterprises. I want to be the first one to buy them. He then went to Virakula placed in pupils. So this is a next door. So fortune went here. He surely went to the other place. Is located 9 miles southeast of Chimney. It has 500 foot elevations situated in chain and hills known as Velangini and Vedacham. There's a temple of Lord Shiva there.

In Bini is known as Velangini swarm.

Two birds come there daily to receive.

Food from the temple priest.

And it is claimed that they Arethami.

Sustained in the world.

After visiting Srimalai Sri Mahal last year.

We went to Kalahasta Swashiva.

To watch it. They were following in their footsteps.

He went to China to look at.

He went to Tirupati. Then he came to Mahabalipuram.

Then.

Srirangam we're going to Sri Rang.

Since today we're hearing about hearing.

I.

Thought it'd be nice. First I want to introduce you One of our Another Prabhupada disciple joined the safari. He's been preaching in India for a long time. Many years.

One of the pioneers in the 70s.

He installed the deities. I was thinking when I said that the Ghori's first desires of Eden.

And I was thinking maybe enough was the one which deity.

Is part of the.

Sword. So he went as far as Navadip. Then all fell apart. Heart broke. So Jagannath came back to my home. So I took him to Calcutta for the Sankirdan house Naphtala. Then you sent me here. Anyhow, Lord Jaminas was in Calcutta. And then when I was sent to South India I wasn't allowed to take anything with me. So I came on my own with 12 doctors. And we had a house in Ada with Faride. Later the ritual comes out and the Pujari steps out in three boxes. And in each box he had. I said what are you doing here? He said, oh, he says, Maharaj, don't take here. I'm a single after you like so I took the deities and I'm not here. So as soon as they arrived, we arranged Rafayat double buluka go to the front page in India's Express. Then later on our neighbor Nagaraj Nai he had Krishna who been in Sativa.

Where we stole from a temple somewhere in South India.

And they were trying to be sold in the international market. So he bought them to keep them in India. And you could never find out which temple they came from. Then he gave them to us. This is how the two nine ladies came here.

So.

Sometimes you forget his love, the Lord doesn't forgive you.

We went to see one deal yesterday.

He was called the light something delight.

And the villa means that he's there by his own desire. All these deities are here by their.

Own desire.

Every year. And then someone very gentleman came to.

Know that I want to stay in India.

So he sent me to South India. No. So I joined and I asked Then we were preaching there many Jambal members and food distribution. And I stayed there too. I was in 75 in Van and Delhi. So anyway, Indian origin. Yeah, he wrote a letter to me and said to come to India. Because then for those who brought me to India anyway, culture. Anyway, we started our center in Malaysia also in 1979. Our property since 1983 Malaysia swarming among our death centers over 20nr English and anyway, so we also going to build. We already going to have a temple in Malaysia. North Malaysia. So I think we get a lot of association with the reportage. I mean Sa Pa we had association with Sa urban in Delhi. And then I think Lord was told. I think Raja devotees they only break off here in his God and helping he said, don't leave his. And also he said I have my plan. Krishna also has his plan. But Krishna's plan to work like it. We're going on pilgrimage to so many holy places and getting to see the Lord. Rgatana says if you simply go to see the Lord with your eyes visiting these holy places you simply dip into the Then there's very little value in your pilgrimage. In fact, very strong words are used. You're just no better than a cow and an ass wandering about. So it is so important to hear from the bona fide representatives of the supreme Lord. We're so fortunate that there are so many senior devotees and advanced devotees traveling on tour. So we can take advantage of their association. Doesn't matter what it is. If we Hear about it, our appreciation grows. I've taken Prashad with Maharaj before and see something I don't even know what it is. I know it tastes good. But when you hear the description of the Prashada, how Lord Caitanya personally relies the shock something to that effect, then your appreciation grows tremendously. So hearing is the foundation. One must hear attentively for the purpose of the heart becoming purified Chaykal Dharmajana so that we can become a surrendered servant of the devotees of the spiritual master. So if we hear who we are standing in front of, how merciful they have been to so many devotees in the past, or how many devotees have served them, it inspires us to also take up the same mood to try to follow in their footsteps. Footsteps. Maharaj was saying, we don't even know what to ask. Bhagavatam is the source of all, is the answer to all questions. If we hear, then these things are revealed. Everything is giving what is lacking. Everything is there in Bhagavatam. That's the one aspect, hearing Bhagavatam, serving the devotees, the deity worship, chanting, the holy angels visiting these pilgrimage places, they're all the five most important aspects. And hearing is the foundation to be able to appreciate any and all of them. So we're very fortunate to be able to have been given the chance to come together and hear. And it is good to write down what we're seeing and what we're hearing, the glories. Because in Kali Yuga Prabhupada said to write down is to remember. He encouraged his devotees, you should write something every day, write down your realizations. Because Kali Yuga, we're so dull headed, the memory slips away so easily. But we should discuss with our associates what we're seeing and what we're hearing. Because if we hear and chant nicely, then there is the ability to remember. And when you can remember, then when the tour is over, then we can share the mercy that we've experienced and give others the opportunity and give them the enlightenment. When Lord Chaitanya encouraged somebody to chant and he gave them the mercy, they would go home. And then whoever saw them would become enlightened and they would be ecstatic and chanting and dancing, reading Bhagavad Gita, etc. And then whoever saw them, heard them in this way, the mercy was going on and on and on. So we pray to be instruments in Rla Prabhupada's army and the representatives of Rla Prabhupada to be a Tiny servant and do the best we can to try to facilitate others here and appreciating what a wonderful opportunity we have. We just have to take advantage of it. The more I want to see India and it's so nice coming here that I understand that I may live in Miami, but this is my home.

And.

To see everything the soy thing is all in the movies is bringing joy to the home. I can travel around just elevated the movies and hear them speak about the past times of Krishna military. Thank everybody that's here. Please give your mercy that I may come back year after year to relish your association. Thank you. Well, in America I do business. So I calculate calculate time in terms of money. Time is money we say in America. And Chanakya says you can't buy back time for any amount. So just this year our dear friend Sri Damar Swarmy passed away and we were all My wife is initiated by him and my daughter is initiated by him. And I had a lot of good experiences with him and spent a lot of time with him. So I didn't. I mean of course obviously we all miss him, but I spent a lot of quality time with him and travel with him. So. So I am also investing my time traveling with all of you so that I can continue to experience Ka consciousness and feel the happiness of Krishna consciousness. So I want to thank you all for being with being who you are being devotees of Shiloh Pune. I was thinking this is devotees especially about the top of hearing. Rashida Prabhu once wrote in the Vatic Garden magazine that before he went to the west and he stated that actually the prison house will have no longer function if the prisoners do not desire. Citizens do not want to break the law on the state. The Jiva probably went on further to say that the mighty universe, this material world would not have any purpose if the Jivas simply absorbed themselves in the service of the supreme. So on safari we're visiting various embassies because we aren't in a material field where various lords come, powerful lords, various wonderful devotee association development us remind us of the Lord's. And it's amazing to note though yes, the material field is here that the Lord ascends, but it denies that it is become for a purpose. And as we come together to take darshan of these deities and to hear the holy name, it's amazing to see that the spiritual histories have been established and devotees, especially in safari make that history. And Srivakistan said make the best use as a bad bargain having a material form in this particular material sandbox. And ultimately this opportunity of devotional service. The safari coming together like this, awaiting us to that eternal reality so we can bring others away from the smile, thinking, thank you.

My name is Manava Nasdaq. And today particularly, I'm having a very difficult time. Mind is often extremely active. My mind is often extremely active as.

Going into realms of passion in the woods.

But by having association with devotees, the book become more purified. A lot of times, you know, I become very. Sometimes I give the devotees chanting. I was saying that today in particular, we're having a very difficult time hearing it because my mind is extremely active and it will often take me to the most vigorous passion. Unless I become extremely dramatic, I can't get my mind to listen. That's one reason why I dance so much, is because unless I get totally absorbed and blissful, my mind won't listen. So here there are so many blissful devotees. When I hear them chanting before the deities. The deities are so beautiful. There are so many wonderful devotees, so many wonderful activities. It is possible to become fully absorbed. I came on this safari because I wanted to become serious again about Rla Prabhupda's mission, Moh Caitanya's mission. So I'm having some difficulty in keeping that determination to become a serious. So I'm praying for all of your blessings. Somehow or other, I can get my mind engaged fully in the service of.

Guru or in your association. Hare Krishna. This is my third safari. I came with Maharaja 2001 to South India, and then I went also in 2005 to North India. And it's my favorite thing. The austerity is there, the heat's there. But it's actually really wonderful traveling around with all the devotees, the different tirtas, all the holy places. So if you ever feel like you don't have anything to do, you should sign up and come on the safari. It's actually. What was that, Maurice? So while it's pretty, it's the best thing as far as being spiritual. All of the devotees are performing austerity, and it's just wonderful. So anyway, thank you all. Hare Krishna.

To safari. Blessing us ever since. We're very grateful.

I will give you the summaries of the book.

Sir.

God mentioned the others and the trolley phone number. One of them is Kenta. He was a very nice devotee practitioner. He was serving very wonderfully every day. He has a wonderful garden, and this garden will maintain it very nicely and use it for the service of patients. Then one day was a very wonderful lady. She's called Dieba Devi. She is considered to be absurd in the heavy planet. So she was also passing one day with her sister as she saw very wonderful garden. She entered the garden but this Moti didn't notice that she was very beautiful. But Ms. Arba didn't notice such a beautiful wonderful lady. So she asked herself.

He's asking are there more alvars.

Also?

One of the 12 hours.
