Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Glorification of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is performed in the paramprāsa system, that is, it is conveyed from spiritual master to disciple. Such glorification is relished by those no longer interested in the false, temporary glorification of this cosmic manifestation. Descriptions of the Lord are the right medicine for the conditioned soul. Undergoing repeated birth and death. Therefore, who will cease hearing such glorification of the Lord except a butcher or one who is killing his own self? Please repeat: Glorification of the Supreme Personality of Godhead—

that is, it is conveyed from spiritual master to disciple. Such glorification is relished by those no longer interested in the false temporary glorification of this cosmic manifestation. Descriptions of the Lord The teachings of the Lord are the right medicine for the conditioned soul undergoing repeated birth and death. Therefore, who will cease hearing such glorification of the Lord except a butcher or one who is kidding? —his own self. In India, it is the practice among the general populace to hear about Kṛṣṇa either from Bhāgavad-gītā or from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in order to gain relief from the disease of repeated birth and death. Although India is now fallen, when there is a message that someone will speak about Bhāgavad-gītā or Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, thousands of some people still gather to hear. This verse indicates, however, that such recitation of the Bhāgavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam must be done by persons completely freed from material desires, nirvṛtatarṣana. Everyone within this material world, beginning from Brahmā down to the insignificant anta, is full of material desires for sense enjoyment., and everyone is busy in sense gratification. But when thus engaged, one cannot fully understand the value of Kṛṣṇa-gītā, either in the form of Bhāgavad-gītā or Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.

This is what is in the 10th Canto, which describes the importance of glorifying Kṛṣṇa. In the 10th Canto, you read about the Lord's pastimes, and you read how the Lord appears to the servant, And Prabhupāda had translated a British book, which is a summary of the Zenigata Yoga. And Prabhupāda had agreed to that, if we get a book published. And Prabhupāda wrote a text, Yoga Nididhyā, and when he arrived in America, soon after establishing his college, He had his, uh, he had a book published. He wanted it published in a very, very attractive field. Prabhupāda knew which ends of the papers could be bought. Prabhupāda wanted people to have real understanding of Kṛṣṇa's path, not some fiction, imagination. There's so many people who were like Śrīla Chaitanya Mahāprabhu, you can have more inspiration. The Prabhupāda was in New York, and so he got somebody who could help properly. At the same time, there was a, you know, there was a Śrī Āyurveda movement, Viṣṇava-Śrī Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, and they had very good success. They cultivated the readers, The visuals were like a day film. We were very optimistic. We thought millions of people would support us. At that time, the visuals being consumed by fans in the— we were a 3-couple doing it, and thousands of telethon viewers— No? Well, so I'm going to get back to English. Hey, Joseph. Hey, man, Joseph. Hey, Joseph. My spiritual master wants you to print This book, very— enjoy it now, stay with it. He has said, "What if it cost me over a jenga?" It was a Krishna book we read in general camp in Georgia. I'll try. I'll— I have to do that better. I'll do that now.

Please mute them.

I'm doing, I'm doing.

I'm claiming the post.

Okay, I'm doing, I'm doing. In this chapter, there are several verses which are very important. He didn't interpret my words. He didn't interpret my words. He presented it as it was. So, if you could do a little bit of putting up, that if you want to discuss The path into the Lord, very important there. Very important there. You can't get it out the womb. That's what he means. You're in this state, you can't break in. And this knowledge is passed down from Christian Master, Minister, is an important— is a privilege. And sense of purification is really very good. And those who are not so interested in church life or religious belief or anything, sense of purification is really very those who no longer intend for us to bring about forgiveness, but for me. The glory to the Lord. A temple would have fallen over the place. You invite people to come to Krishna consciousness, you come to the temple, you invite 100, they came over 100. So this propagation of the Lord is appreciated by whom? By those who are not attached to the body. Those who an untrained philosopher, physicist, they are affected by this philosophy. And the scriptures are good because of that. In the right medicine for whom? Those who want to free themselves from the background, like me, or you, and if you are the both of us, PRASAD RAVAL is calling it spiritual benefit. So why did I go out at night? Why should we not go out at night? To surrender to Krishna. What? To surrender to Krishna. To take your padamākṣī. The Bhāgavatam, the rākṣasas were waiting on it. They served him coffee and mediums of which you can drop very low. And one of the intelligence sees that one of them is nothing but you. Pretty decent. You can see it visibly more active than ever. So the transcendentalistic version of the law of realize my own. But those who are interested in feeling for me, I got both of that. And one of the reasons I take interest in this number is, what is he called, Butcher. Butcher is— what's the word— in Hindi So a woman who was not interested in his philosophy, he actually approached her. He actually came into her life. He actually gave her a poem. It's like a famous Persian poet said, "I appreciate everybody else, but I don't appreciate my dad." I appreciate that. Nothing was rather than sad. What would I do? Pretty much. What?

Make him poisoned.

So in the opening words of the Katha Upanishad, the spirit of the comic is completely important for him and others. Now we hear This chance, we don't, don't take it. We hear it. This chance is passed and we forget. Therefore, it's very important if we, we share the, the passion, it's very important that we share the Listen, we have to take impression, which is the matter. When we talk about śrīrāma-kṛṣṇa, what does it mean? It means that we shall hear everything, we shall hear everything. Paths of the Lord. When the paths of the Lord, when they are presented in a pure form, Then what can they do? They purify. So in this chapter, we're going to read about the advent of the Supreme Lord. Before describing the advent of the Supreme Lord, we have many words in this chapter. What happened? I'm thinking in Hindi. forest. The president was in the forest when he was making a visit to this state, and he looked all around and he saw certain zones, say, green, he called it. He went in, opened the windows, take a look They say, "But, Prasad, we will take it." No, no, no, no, no. They said, "Prasad, even if an enemy comes to your house, what should we do?" You greet him properly. Properly. That is, we can offer to Prasad only, but not for the enemy. He's got 10,000 people already. Then everyone who's sitting there is serving Prasad Raval. I think the big word is 'serving'. The best is you serve them, Prasad Raval. You can't serve them, Prasad Raval, you're not afforded. Then at least you have a glass of water to drink. You can't even afford a glass of water Then he gave him a mat to sit on. The guy couldn't afford a mat, but he beat him with sweet words. Sweet words are the most dangerous, very, very evil words. But the sage said, "Look at the emperor." And the emperor was not afraid. Which we want to call the what? Raju ji. Raja, the ruler of the kingdom. He certainly was entitled to proper attention. So we're going to finish what I give as a morning We all had such a brother. So in anger, enough he had kind of like paid, and then he came out with his dog, and that snake, juggling the snake, and paid it in the garden, in the neck with the snake, and he came out, and he came out His favorite son was playing with his friend, and his favorite son said, "Let me go in and see what drama is playing." Our Father in heaven is playing. And there is Job. Let's name him. Praise God. That he knew that this was the victory of this king. So what did he do? He cursed the king to death. He said, "Now, if Prasad RAVAL had wanted, he could have easily gone back to Ashoka." You never forget. Prajna Manah, when you were in the womb of your mother, you were protected by Prajna Manah. You didn't get any of that. Prajna Manah protected you when you were in the womb of your mother. So Lakshmana, what? Normally when we receive notice from Germany and disease, we get panic, isn't it? He didn't get panic. He waited. All the sages put another plan. And at that time, 64,000 sages were known all over the way somebody with some humility needs to think, listen, then what you will receive will be pure knowledge. And by shouting and kicking and what is known as— so Prasad RAVAL, we hear him, Baba, and we hear him, Baba, nonstop, before all of you, nonstop. We have the struggle to stay awake for 40 minutes in a class. But Prajnanāma, stay awake for 24 hours, 7 days a week. And you all very attentively hear it and let that— feel. No water. I was getting so much pleasure in hearing Prasad Raaval say, There's nothing that feels individual thirst or individual happiness. The point is, if you draw myself in here in the mouth, then you don't get attracted by— or you get attracted by— material things. So the method of God is So pure. You may say, "Oh God, it's something that maybe here in human life shows." In fact, in the Gōdāvīra, you see that when Kṛṣṇa was carrying the Gōdā, what did he do? That Gauranga Gauranga is He, was worth it. So, Kṛṣṇa wanted to teach him that, wanted to teach the demigods. Demigods sometimes get proud. So Kṛṣṇa wanted to end their pride pretty fast. In the very store. Then due to that, young boy didn't feel their stuff is there again. What is the desire? I should drown the midwife. So in that, all already some of them have to go, brennan, brennan. They really, everybody— rainfall. And rainfall that is released. Each drop of water was as a medicine for them. So the great bhāsīs, when they saw Indra's anger in action, they saw that every rainfall was now coming. They all looked at Krishna and said, "We want you to be here." Krishna's friend. So they were all, okay, Krishna's friend, please do something to save us. At that time, Gauranga was not told that his feet would turn as the sky. How many of you have climbed Mount Everest? So, today when you see the Mount Everest, it sounds good. But at that time, it was so tall, the peak would touch the mountain sky. So the great mountain Everest anxiety. But what are we going to do now? They're going to drown us all. So, devotee, in friendship and in anxiety, always remember, Krishna was the main motive. Don't worry, I will protect all of And they were in it. It's kind of— with this young boy, 7 years old, able to get ahead duration of, you know, they were just meditating on Krishna's name and during that period they did not hear anything, they did not eat anything, they did not drink anything. They were totally satisfied with just seeing Krishna's name. So the point we were trying to make is You're absorbed in Krishna consciousness, then the material happiness is not a problem. But if you're not absorbed in emotional activity, then death, I'm glad for it. You're going to be simple. I'm glad for what? I'm glad for joy. We have unlimited divine riches. And I'm going to have a— I don't really want to— I'm kind of hoping on a spiritual life. Spiritual life means I accept everything that's favorable and reject everything that's unfavorable. Jete ma phobha jyotana, knowledge of the process of the moving on. He said, 'I serve all his favorite books, religious advancement, and take care of his health.' So a devotee His prime goal is to grab the whole world. But he knows that if I want to really grab the whole world, I must follow a different process. If you follow that process, then you get the whole world. So, Lakṣmīrāma was hearing the Bhāgavata in front of But she was hungry. We wanted to travel, she was hungry. And he was listening to his interview. So when Prasad was giving, he didn't feel anything. So we have to struggle in our life that we can care about the other fellow also. We should be We should be enthusiastic reading the pastimes of the Lord. If we hear the pastimes of the Lord, we will want to practice good. Then what will happen? Chaitanya Mahāprabhu has said, "Hearing the Holy Name, we have to do good." So when you talk about hearing the Holy Name, you are also talking about hearing Krishna. Maybe our whole goal should be to get more attracted to the process of Krishna consciousness. And if you get attracted to Krishna consciousness, you will never let go. Then we have to get sure of that. Therefore, not as one temple, but then we should get a family full of Godheads. That is the morning end. The purpose is, is we should get attached to the healing process. We should get attached to the healing process. And by getting attached to the healing process, what will happen? Mm-hmm. Maturity of action. Very important. Healing. And proposed the meeting. What is the opposite of hearing? To tell. To tell. That's the question. If we don't hear from one person, what will happen? I think I can answer it. So, these voices me opening words of the seminar. So, Śrīla Rūpa Mahāprabhu is again pointing out the importance of it here. And he is saying that everyone is already taking Krishna in his heart, but when you do it with all the worldly attractions that are there, it will not be effective. Me, as an individual. But those who are endeavouring to purify their mind, purifying the heart, living it, attracting it, who break the mind's head, even though I'm fasting, even though I'm not even drinking a drop of water, still the fasting is a voluntary act. They are not cleaning anywhere. If the Lord is near it, you pass it to the Lord. Then mind it. Okay. Then do not bother. It's again with your work. Sometimes people are playing with all that sports, watching cricket, handball, football, cricket, football, football. It's so absorbing. In seeing the image, then they forget. They forget the importance of him. So hearing from Bonaventure is very important. And we hear regularly, then also the separation over there is true. How many of you guys are okay? You can have a chance. You pick any hero and you just give it by yourself. Then the northern way, in an inner question, actually you will go. And nothing to do with this yoga. We are already doing yoga. So, the important point in the new way of Hinduism is that Glorification of the Lord should be done by yogis. And if it is done by people who are in the Karmapada, then what will happen? Then you will get the proper knowledge. You will not get distorted knowledge. And if you have the fortune of hearing from a Karmapada soul, then what will happen? Beautiful. And then the southern block, where they collected. And over here, you see, they have a fresh woman also, who tended to be hurt. Maybe when they tended to be hearing, the hunger and thirst did not distract. So I'm just saying, but we are not the category of vegetable. One of the important things that these young retreatants, when the Taboo Chariot came in, how they would be, how they would be treated by Ma and Mr. RAVAL, you know, not eating and not drinking. You may just think that this is not attainable for us, so Who is the answer? It will not be clear, but if you follow that process, medicine will work and the world will go. If you follow that process of attending hearing, glorification from devotees of the Lord, then you will definitely experience positive results. We should not think that another only can operate in Suppose if you, anything, no problem with that, you practice it, then you will make progress. And when Krishna sees, "Here is somebody endeavouring to please me," what does Krishna do? He protects them. Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gītā, those who worship me with devotion, I preserve what they have and I make over what they lack. What we have, we should preserve it. And what we don't have, what we lack, Krishna is making it. Papa Lalabhadra said, "You give one cent to us, Krishna, we shall make ten cents for you." So, we should be above all kinds of greed. And in this month, we have, we have Dharmashree, Maharambansi. We will be here with Prasad. You should take interest in hearing with Prasad. Maybe hear it every week, then learn further. You want to push me? You will hear it every week. And Bhakti Yoga is included, or Bhagavatam, Hindi. Bhakti Yoga is a medium through which. And one who grossly ignores this, he doesn't think about surrender at all. When you talk to him about surrender at all, what does he say? 'Swagya ho chahiye.' Baba would argue with Bhaktivedanta Mahāprabhu. Probably he would bring the Bhaktivedanta Prabhu in a tabloid paper format. Baba would preach his important jnāna-yoga idea, and of course, Swāmi Ji, Swāmi would then And then next stage, you know, go on to another stage. We push him to cultivate spiritual life, become a good— we realize something good in him. So that is the non-violent way. And 3 steps are very important. What is that? The one who is in the scriptures is very attentive, he never misses a minute. He doesn't tell you, "What did he say?" When he's lost, they already made up the rest of the dialogue. If you lose one minute, they want it back by giving you a price. They can do it. You got to do that. So a devotee should be "Ray in love, shall reach one man, that his activities will fill up all." Means you use every second. See? And if that is done, you know what happens? Then you'll be able to develop love for God. So, Bhagavad Gītā emphasizes the importance of purity. They point out the report and they point out there are Pakistan reporters, good members too, and Pakistani reporters also. What should we do? Regularly read it here. Chatting about world war, but you should regularly read it here. And if you read the book regularly, you'll be— if you read the book regularly and chant, who will benefit? It will benefit you. If you don't read it, you'll be vain. Then you'll remain unfulfilled. So we will endeavor to here and here for the right soul. In that regard, the truth makes you free. So in this world, we have a story going on. It's very big here in the world. We receive from it a pending soul, and I don't think somebody is ready. I don't know if somebody would be actually He has a technique. Then this person's father, which is telling his own life. And if we get absorbed in hearing, then just attraction can be over. Just attraction can be over. Prasad RAVAL has never made film. He has no idea of what he is speaking. But we don't appreciate this goodness because we decided to work. I will be there. The servant will be there. Will there be? Very good. And you go to the next case. The disease were cured, we will chant that. The servant will be healed, lower than the modernist, he is really, really poor. Therefore, he has no moral principles, he is very poor. And if he never incredible knowledge, many incredible knowledge, he will be— so we are very fortunate in that, our Father has given us a complete package Gave her the wonderful book. He gave her the opportunities for worship. He gave her the beautiful temple. He gave her everything that you need to do the work. You go back to your home. You develop devotion. To give up your taste for material life. He gave us all the advantages we need to make a beautiful world. If you fail to take advantage of it, then you will be very unfortunate. So, we should take advantage of this philosophy and then let God make beautiful world. And for this we need constant remembrance. Not that once a year, you know, but you make it a habit to read every day. And if you endeavor, then at the end of the year, then the combined effort will be you will be conscious of God, which should be the goal of life. I was just wondering how those 60,000 sages were able to hear, because here we use microphones. If you had that, yes, technology, there is a preview of what we have today. We should not think that this is a mythology. She was not a stage queen. This is a very big— There is nothing in Bhāgavatam which is mythology. Mythology means not true, imagination. Oh, that's all mythology. That is it. The British said that he came to India, the Mohammedans came, they destroyed it, and another pope came and revealed the secret. The British came, they were more developed than us. He had his followers shining the sunset behind him, and they had come in and covered the very tree, and their presentation had presented. This is not mythology.

They said, "Hey, we have killed you from England, USA." Thank you, Guru Maharaj, for sharing such wonderful shloka today. In the shloka, I have also read that the glorification of the Supreme Lord comes to a devotee through parampara system under the instructions of a guru. Could you please Please elaborate the importance of accepting a Guru. I know there are some people who are very eager to, you know, they have come here to accept you as their Guru and so that they are able to, you know, advance in their Bhakti from Krishna. So the Guru Parampara and Guru's importance of Guru in Guru Vrindu Keshava of Krishna. So what happens to those people who have not accepted a Guru?

At times, you don't want to accept it because you don't want to spend it. I mean, you don't want anyone to tell you what you do, what you don't do. But how about I just say, you're very set to follow Guru with that Sri Yukteswar, the, the fashion he The real— and the way that is the best religion for us. This is part 2 of your question. Well, I can just say the benefit of accepting it, because that's what the scripture is going to be. If you don't accept it, the reason why people don't accept the Guru, for example, if I am qualified group. He finds a way with qualified people to graduate. And we donate, donate, donate. Even the girls in Brahman, everybody did that. Even in North East India was on that plan. Everybody was watching. He said, "Go house to house and preach. Let people chant." Not everybody gave a warm reception. Some people came to Prasad RAVAL and said, "Yes, he said that's what we wanted to do. Chant whatever." Everybody said that's all right. There were some who would say, They would say, "You are a hero, you are a man, you have done many good things." And they would say, "Prasad RAVAL, we want to come to your house to take part of this union assembly." And they would, some of them would say, "Yeah, please, bring to our house all of us." Saying. So the point is, when you're preaching the philosophy, it's not that everybody grasps it. So when I said to modify guru, and he said that they modify philosophy, then you make a religion of it. You will notice that, that Thanks to Prasad and ISKCON, many of us are able to take advantage. But many people live in villages in India and they usually can only understand Mahabharata, Ramayana, and they do that kind of reading. Would they have any benefits? There is many benefits. Surely there is. Incorporated in the tradition in India, in the villages, because it's better about life. So they are becoming blended closely, fully, and people listen. Krishna is being a training tool How can we increase the depth in hearing? How can we increase the depth in hearing? Hearing. Hearing by sincere effort. By hearing, the immanent has to be gained. By meaning, the immanent has to be gained. By changing, the immanent again will be established. If you don't change, you will get infected. Similarly, You are asking a question.

What is the question?

My anxiety is okay. I know, like, I'm going in and I'm going to get done. Yeah, but when we see from, from parents, from other people's, uh, anxious condition When we are bombarded by other people, how should we react? By other material people? Yes, by anyone. Maybe devotees also.

In many places Śrīla Prabhupāda says that the secret of success is satisfying the spiritual master. How does a disciple know that they are satisfying the spiritual master.

If we are following Prasad Raaval, then it will definitely mean we are previous followers. And if you will, you and I can finish the preaching, then it means we are To please the spiritual master, all you have to do is grow effectively. You are a very powerful devotee. You are a Kṛṣṇa devotee. The spiritual master doesn't say, "Nay, nay, he is not an effective devotee." You have to do official thing. And the spiritual master, the spiritual teacher, just To make spiritual advancement. To join in the mood of humility. Meaning, join the mood of service. Our mood should be to serve all the Vaishnavas, not just Mrinalini Devī. And we should be in the mood of paying service to her. We should endeavour to cultivate Hello. Thank you very much. Makes noise. Thank you for hearing. You were mentioning the importance of reading, and I'm wondering if for some reason, somehow or other, reading becomes difficult, does hearing have the same value, like listening to classes? Does it have the same value as reading? Reading and hearing, satsang is synonymous. If you read, you have to hear. Every time the car is dirty, that is not attention giving. That is okay, but it doesn't give you the same benefit as attention giving. Many of you would listen while you are driving, you know. That's okay. Hare Krishna. Hare Krishna.

I have a very foolish question though. The question is, we heard that Prabhupada also said that when we introduce our— like we say that my husband, my son, my daughter, this is all material attachment. How, what is the better way to introduce or to talk to elevated soul that this is not my husband, it is just a bodily attachment?

I think you don't have to be so blunt. You can say, "He is my husband, she is my wife," or something like that. We are just being a little bit— we have the privilege Thank you. Maharajji, in today's Prapattan translation, Shri Prabhupada says we should follow bona fide guru. Can you elaborate what bona fide means? What would the Shri Prabhupada Prasad Raaval means one who follows what he, what he teaches. That was, of course, only living in Bangladesh. He saw that. And then he is practicing what he is preaching. If you don't practice what you preach, then you can't express Gurumaharaj, this is a very often asked question.

Although Ajamilā had a sinful life, he did not glorify the Lord, but at the end of his life he just uttered Holy Name and he got liberated. So, I mean, that means even such people also have a chance to be liberated, Mahārāja?

And self-respect. Only if the boy is gone, distracted by the prostitute, even if he's getting to old, he will not be able to take up a job. He will be chanting the mantra, he will hear the mantra, he will follow the mantra, living on the mantra, but he will be immediately led away. Is there any correlation between sikkhims? Is there any correlation between the amount of service we do and the taste of hearing? That more service you do, more we have taste of hearing. Less service you do, less we have taste of hearing. Yeah, if you are enchanting Is there any correlation between the amount of service we do, let's say, you know, some service in the community, and so the more service we do, the more we develop the taste of hearing? Yes, more service you do, more your exposure with devotees, more your practice, Shabdha Upasana, the desire to serve will increase. We pass the Janguna server as steps which we follow. In the name of devotion, You know, the limited experience. What you have, not the body. The body is given. Body probably, it needs to— the ancient state, I have actually not complete. We have to develop the mind.— you have a wonderful past, and then a little bit more, and more, and more. When you are present now in your living, then there is spontaneous evolution, which is what I call. My dear friends, today we were reading the book of 'I Shall Build You the Temple' by His Holiness Giriraj Maharaj. The last thing today we were reading is, Prabhupada gave a loan of 16 lakhs with a 10% interest and an agreement between with Mahāprabhupāda, and you are also one of the signatories. I am a little concerned, from so much money he has given free, but why at the end 16,000 he wanted an agreement between you and Girirādhā Mahārāja and Prabhupāda, with that interest? I am a little curious. And Prabhupāda would tell the managers also that, "If you are taking the responsibility, you have to do your own, or you will get your people to do that." That was probably done for everything. But when he found that he already had the publicity,— both— regarding him. I said if I wouldn't— understand anything— he gave me everything. And by the time it was done, we didn't want anything else. So I know that everything Prasad RAVAL did, Prasad RAVAL is capable of paying you back. So, only go there with capital of patience. Can you hold the mic like this? Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj. Guru Maharaj, how do we balance between sadhana and service? So, when we do sadhana, we get more services, and how do we balance between the two? Well, a few things you know,— like studying, finding language, playing around, playing language games. So this is up to you. And then in the remaining time, you can see if you want to practice Buddhism, then you can practice Buddhism. Vichara, Hare Krishna mantra, praying to the Lord, please engage me in the A good schnarr.
