Srimad Bhagavatam Speaker - HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaj

Recorded dialogue between HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaj and another speaker centered on Lord Chaitanya, devotional practice, and practical guidance for devotees. The talk references reading practices recommended by Srila Prabhupada (e.g., reading the Bhagavad Gita ten times before initiation), explains distinctions among karma/vikarma/akarma and buddhi-yoga (devotional action), recounts pastimes associated with Jagannath Puri and Navadwip’s nine islands, and offers instruction for householders (grihasthas) on managing quarrels, aspiring toward Paramahamsa ideals, and navigating modern challenges such as social media. The format mixes storytelling, scriptural citation, and Q&A.
Is about Lord Chaitanya.
There are many smaller books. Each side is there.
And there are many other smaller books. And each has its own taste, its own Mahima Glories.
I saw many people have purchased the Shrinad Bhagavatam.

I read the all the books many times.
I read the books many times. All the books many times. I saw on Srila Prabhupada's table, he had a Bhagavad Gita.
So I asked Bhagavad Gita's beginning book, why do you have it?
I asked if Bhagavad Gita is the beginning book, why do you have it?
Prabhupada said it was essential for preaching Krishna consciousness.
Prabhupada said it was essential to preach Ka consciousness.
How to get the first initiation. Prabhupada said I should read Bhagavad Gita.
10 times to get the first initiation. Prabhupada said that I should read Bhagavad Gita at least 10 times.
I saw that Bhagavad Gita it had 1, 2, 3, 4, treat. 1, 2, 3, 4,' treat 10 times.
So I would mark whenever I read, I would mark on the Bhagavad Gita and then I marked it 10 times. So.
I had read Paradida Chaitanjaya Alma, teachings of Lord Chaitanya.
But I read Bhagavad Gita. Chaitanya Charitamrita Teachings of Lord Chaitanya.
Nectar of instruction. Nectar of devotion.

They said what I want to read next. And I said, okay, let's hear the Bhagavad Gita. I haven't heard it for a long time.
So they asked, what do you want to read next? So I said, okay, I will read Bhagavad Gita. Because I didn't read Bhagavad Gita for a long time. Okay.
Allah tells about karma.
Bhagavad Gita tells about Karma, Vikarma. A karma, Karma, Vikarma.
Everyone knows what that means.
Everyone knows what that means.
So karma, I drink good karma. The goal is to reach the heavenly planets.
So karma by doing karma, good karma, the goal is to reach the heavenly planets.
And Vikarma means unauthorized activities.
And vikarma means unauthorized activities.
That could be said sinful activities.
That could be said sinful activities.
And so as a result get bad karma. Lower word. What the hell do they think?
As a result you get bad karma, you get lower birth, you go to hell. Different things. So what is akarma? No reaction, no reaction.
No material reaction.
No material reaction.
How do you do that?
How do you do that?
Even if you don't move, don't act. Still produce some karma.
Even if you don't move, don't act, still you will produce some karma.
So achala means devotional service.
So a karma means devotional service.
That doesn't have any material action or reaction.
That doesn't have any material action or reaction. It takes you to the spiritual world.
So that's called Bodhi yoga.
So that's called Buddhi yoga.

You think everything you do has how it can be pleasing to Krishna. You try to please guru and Krishna. Guru.
You want a girl who is a pure devotee of Krishna.
You want a guru who is a pure devotee of Krishna.
So when you do something like you have to cook, then you pray that Ka accepts this service as his devotional service.
So for example, if you cook, you cook and pray that Krishna accepts this as your devotional service.
If you're working I think how by working your little Jew maintain your house family and in the house there are deities so this house is a time.
Of temple so if you're working you're working to maintain your family and in your and you have a house in your house you have a temple so that it is devotional service if you have a house in the if you have a temple in the house Ninga velasaring.

This morning one couple ultimately said trying to have a Krishna Khanja child a long time but couldn't conceive so this.
Morning a couple came to me that they want a Krishna conscious child for long but they could not conceive.
And they said now they have conceived our honourable blessing for the wife so now.
They said they have conceived and now they want blessing for the wife.
I pray that the child might be Krishna conscious healthy, long lived.
So I prayed that the child be long lived healthy Krishna conscious Suputra Arogyamaha.
Now if a person is looking for some material.

Very miserly so Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita that they are very miserly either Krishna Kanjatanam Abdingrara.
And the point was that this material world is known as.

And I was told by Prabhupada to get admission for the western devotees to enter into the.
Kannadpuri General I was told by Srila Prabhupada to get admission from for foreign devotees in the Jagannath Puri temple.
And then all my attempts led me to.
The Shankaracharya all my attempts led me to the Shankaracharya of pure Puri.

The chief Minister of Bengal.
But then the chief minister of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee she made a duplicate temple.
I talked to the architect. The architect said this temple is a miracle because some university studied set at maximum.
So I talked with the architect of that new temple and he said that this temple is a miracle because one university did a study and the dimension, the master plan of the Puri temple and the new temple there is only a difference of 15 millimeters now.
So this temple has Jagannath Vajra Sudarshana Jakra made from the same wood as Lord Jagannath.
This temple has Jagannath Baldev Subhadra Sudarshan chakra made from the same wood of the same wood from the deities of Lord Jagannath in Puri. So in the Koila Javana Baladur Shubhadra Sudhashan Chakra.

All the devotees of Lord Shiva including Kartikeya and Ganesha was asked by Lord Shiva to chant the names of Gauranga.
And Kashiwinas for a thousand years. And they achieve personal liberation.
So devotees in Kashi Banaras after thousand years they may achieve impersonal liberation. Venumna, Brahma, Adayalam.

So when Lord Chaitanya was high in his soul and he was a healthy boy, a lot hard.
And so when Lord Chaitanya was going to school he was accompanied by Kadadhar and Jagadhananda.
And so they. He then came to the forest and the west of Hargadro.

So then we went to the nice island in Manjudri.
Then we go to the next island which is Madhya Dweeb.
And there Madrideep connected to the Russian search.
Madhya Dweep is connected to the devotional service of Smaranam. There are many places there.
He was destroying the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya.
So next to the Gomati river Sukhdev Goswami. He was describing the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya.
Lord, see the heart of this. He wanted to listen.
And when Lord Shiva heard this, he wanted to listen.
And he was heading to the earth Kailash. And he went back. He went by the and Dandi. And he went by with such a long.
So Lord Shiva he wanted to come to earth by Kailash. He came by his Nandi from Kailash.
But he found the Nandi was too slow.
But he felt Nandi was too slow. So he asked Brahma if he could borrow the Hansa Vahan.
And he was Nandi there. And he went to.
He left Nandi there and he went to Nabudwi.
Everyone thought oh, Lord Brahma has come. And I saw the Hansa.
Everyone thought that Lord Brahma has come. When they saw the hams Vahana.
But they were surprised to see our Lord Shiva.
But they were surprised to see Lord Shiva.
So he came to hear the past times of Lord Caitanya.
So he came to hear the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya.
Our Lord Krishna had a storehouse of love.
Lord Krishna had a storehouse of love Bhavanushri Krishna. But it was locked with the lock Lord Chaitanya his Krishna. But his mood is different. He is Krishna in the mood of Radharani.
Therefore his color is like Radhas his garment.
Therefore his color is like Radharani golden.
He broke over the lock.
He broke open the lock.
He started to distribute Lord of Ka freely the everyone.
He started to distribute the love of Krishna freely to everyone.
And I want to discriminating was online and not online able to everyone.
He was not discriminating who was qualified, who was not qualified, he was giving it to everyone.
Lord Chaitanya's representative went around the world and pursued this Krishna Bhairava.
So Prabhupada as the representative of Lord Chaitanya he went around the world and distributed Krishna Prema.
I hope you all get the mercy of what Chaitanya and achieved Rashad Rama and his fight time.
We hope that you all get the mercy of Lord Chaitanya and achieve Krishna Prema in this lifetime.
Anomaly says that ladies in general are not so. I learned philosophy.
Generally it is said that the ladies are not so expert in philosophy.
But in the ninth candle there's a verse where Shilpala says that Lady Man Sutra whatever if our Ka Consciousness are all evil.
But in the ninth chapter there is a verse where Prabhupada says in the purport whether it's Lady Man Sudra if they are on the platform, whatever if they are on plat if they are practicing Krishna consciousness, they are all equal Hana one by foreign.
So we want all of you to however you meet try to give them this instruction to Jenna Krishna Tell them the message of Lord Chaitanya, Lord Krishna.
So we want all of you, whomever you meet, try to give this message of Lord Chaitanya. Try to preach this in the Chaitanyade Sangadya Krishnadeya Sangadiya Pracharam saying.
I mean the more you give Krishna, the more you get Krishna conscious the more you.
Give Krishna, the more you get Krishna consciousness.
If you give material things gone.
If you give material things gone unless you are giving to Krishna.
I guess it's already.
I guess it's already late. Any questions? Thank you. Thank you Guru Maharaj. Very very beautiful class. My question is when we are staying in. When we are in Grihasta Ashram then many times we have some quarrels and fights also in home going on. Then we want to do very nice Sadhana and preach and assist you and please you. But because of the home situations, mind gets so much disturbed that we are not able to focus in preaching or please you. So what we can do in that situation? Prabhupada said you being a Sanyasi, you should not counsel people on Grihasta matters about Grihasta affairs.
I mean in general advice to start I had to have knowledge to not do this thing.
So in general if you are disturbed, you should have knowledge of not being disturbed.
I don't know regarding the Southern Mannerism.
Senior Grihasta regarding the quarrels in the Grihasta matters. It's better talk to some senior. Grihastas. Before you got initiation from Prabhupada, you have read bhagavad gita for 10 times like in Ramachary Ashram. We have. I mean you. You have also did lot of Seva. And how did you manage to read Bhagavad Gita? And how did you manage temple? And how did you manage your Sadhana, Sadhya and Sev? Initiation.
Of course those days followed with a horse.
Of course. In those days Bhagavad Gita was a little shorter. So I asked my disciples to before initiation they should read Bhagavad Gita twice.
Since I wanted to get initial. Then I used every strong moment to read the Volvo.
But since I wanted to take first initiation, I used every spare moment to read Bhagavad Gita.
I didn't stop my service. But.
I didn't stop my service. So no chance of Maya. Question from Matajish. Thank you for the wonderful class yesterday. In the class you said that all Grahastas should try to become Paramhansas. So how do we understand the application and what it means to be a Paramahansa? What it means? What it means? Good question.
Like Lord.
Always things something spiritual. Like about Krishna, about Lord Chaitanya and everything you do you want to do it for Krishna.
I saw. Like that one is always thinking about Krishna trying to serve Krishna, trying to please Krishna.
So like that one is always thinking about Krishna trying to serve Krishna, trying to please Krishna. Krishna.
Depending on your ashram, but it's also you have to do that for Krishna.
So depending on your Ashram there are some duties to perform. You have to do that for Krishna. Ashramate.
And.
Obviously being Paramahansa is a very big thing.
Gradually come up to that standard.
So we may gradually come up to that standard.
World to know place, no body, maternal body, total happiness.
So the thing which we have to understand in this material world that there is nothing, no body can give us happiness. Whether in Bhu Loka, Swargaloka, Nark, Loka, every place there is suffering. And.
So we're down that this time we want to go back to Krishna.
So we know that in this life we want to go back to Krishna.
So in the 8th canto there's a history of.
So in the 8th canto there is a history of Gajendra Moksha history.
Baba says that despite the Jangah, it was a land and stronger. Gajendra is getting weaker.
So in that Srila Prabhupada is saying about how Gajendra is a land animal and the crocodile is a water animal. So gradually crocodile was getting the strength from the water and was getting stronger. So in the Gajendranala.
Prabhupada was saying that we have to have strong senses and sound mind war against Maya.
So Prabhupada was saying that we should have strong senses and strong mind to fight against Maya.
So like that, one has to choose where they'll be stronger, which is their natural habitat.
So like that, one has to choose where they are stronger, what is their natural habitat.
So most people are stronger, more natural.
So more people, they feel stronger, they feel it's natural being Grihasta, but they should still fight with Maya. And we try to be as much Krishna conscious as we can. Guru Maharaj, in this current situation where the social media impact is much on the younger devotees, like now lot of young devotees are there, what would you like to give them, Maharaj? Like Guru Maharaj, what advice would you like to give them? Because the social media has got more power and children are getting affected. So what would be your advice, Guru Maharaj? Mic please. In the social media.
Unless something Krishna conscious in the social media, I think we should watch it.
Unless there is something about Krishna consciousness.
Yeah. In social media, unless there's something Ka conscious in social media, unless there is.
Something not Krishna conscious in social media, what's the point watching social media?
If there's something Krishna conscious, watch that.
And if there is something Krishna conscious, we can watch that.
I don't personally have much time, although I have many pages, but all my time is engaged in other things.
So personally I don't have much time, but I have many pages, but most of my time is engaged in other activities.
In the future I'm trying to set up AI assistant, both lectures and letters, those that are not personal.
So in the future I'm trying to set up an AI assistant which can store all my lectures, my general letters.
Which are not personal and to answer people's questions.
To answer people's questions. But we are told by Upadeshamrita that we should avoid Gramma Katha. So like that we should discriminate what we should do or not.
I heard that he was walking down the road and we saw some of these Russia.
So I saw that Banu Maharaj, he was walking down the road and there was somebody listening to Mayawadi lecture.
Swami was asking, what did the Swami say?
So Banu Swami was asking, what did the Swami say?
What did he say? What did he say?
What did he say? What did he say?
He's a great Swami.
He's a great swami. I am simple man. How can I understand anything he says?
So like that Prabhupada spoke in such a way everybody would understand.
Like that Srila Prabhupada spoke in such a way that everybody could understand.
So this is the problem with the.
So this is the problem with the people who want to show off their knowledge. The Mayavadis, the pundits. You see, in this material world, people. People are absorbed in politics and other material things.
Of happiness.
But if we can understand that in this material world there's no place for happiness.
Every place has suffering more or less.
Every place has suffering more or less.
So, thank you very much.
So, thank you very much. Hare Krishna. Hare Krishna. Thank you very much. Bhaktivedranta Jayapataka. Swami. Guru Maharaj. So many wonderful lessons from your lecture. Guru Maharaj, in your present state, if you are able to dedicate time to read Srila Prabhupada books every day, what could be more inspiration for us? To read Srila Prabhupada books of Jagannath is now manifested as Digar temple.
