CC Antya 19.108 mahiṣīra gīta yena ‘daśame’ra śeṣe paṇḍite nā bujhe tāra artha-viśeṣe Translation: The songs of the queens at Dvārakā, which are mentioned at the end of the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, have a very special meaning. They are not understood even by the most learned scholars. Purport: These songs of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam are verses 15-24 of the ninetieth chapter of the Tenth Canto. kurari vilapasi tvaṁ vīta-nidrā na śeṣe svapiti jagati rātryām īśvaro gupta-bodhaḥ vayam iva sakhi kaccid gāḍha-nirbhinna-cetā nalina-nayana-hāsodāra-līlekṣitena All the queens incessantly thought of Kṛṣṇa. After their pastimes in the water, the queens said, “Our dear friend the osprey, Kṛṣṇa is now asleep, but we stay awake at night because of Him. You laugh at us when you see us awake at night, but why are you not sleeping? You seem absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa. Have you also been pierced by Kṛṣṇa’s smile? His smile is very sweet. One who is pierced by such an arrow is very fortunate.” netre nimīlayasi naktam adṛṣṭa-bandhus tvaṁ roravīṣi karuṇaṁ bata cakravāki dāsyaṁ gatā vayam ivācyuta-pāda-juṣṭāṁ kiṁ vā srajaṁ spṛhayase kavareṇa voḍhum “O cakravāki, you keep your eyes wide open at night because you cannot see your friend. Indeed, you are suffering very much. Is it because of compassion that you are crying, or are you trying to capture Kṛṣṇa by remembering Him? Having been touched by the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, all the queens are very happy. Are you crying to wear Kṛṣṇa’s garland on your head? Please answer these questions clearly, O cakravāki, so that we can understand.” bho bhoḥ sadā niṣṭanase udanvann alabdha-nidro ’dhigata-prajāgaraḥ kiṁ vā mukundāpahṛtātma-lāñchanaḥ prāptāṁ daśāṁ tvaṁ ca gato duratyayām “O ocean, you have no opportunity to sleep quietly at night. Instead, you are always awake and crying. You have received this benediction, and your heart is broken just like ours. Mukunda’s business with us is simply to smear our marks of kuṅkuma. O ocean, you suffer as much as we.” tvaṁ yakṣmaṇā balavatāsi gṛhīta indo kṣīṇas tamo na nija-dīdhitibhiḥ kṣiṇoṣi kaccin mukunda-gaditāni yathā vayaṁ tvaṁ vismṛtya bhoḥ sthagita-gīr upalakṣyase naḥ “O moon, you appear to be suffering from a severe fever, perhaps tuberculosis. Indeed, your effulgence does not have the strength to destroy the darkness. Have you become mad after hearing the songs of Kṛṣṇa? Is that why you are silent? Seeing your suffering, we feel that you are one of us.” kiṁ tvācaritam asmābhir malayānila te ’priyam govindāpāṅga-nirbhinne hṛdīrayasi naḥ smaran “O Malayan breeze, kindly tell us what wrong we have done to you. Why do you fan the flames of desire in our hearts? We have been pierced by the arrow of Govinda’s glance, for He is perfect in the art of awakening the influence of Cupid.” megha śrīmaṁs tvam asi dayito yādavendrasya nūnaṁ śrīvatsāṅkaṁ vayam iva bhavān dhyāyati prema-baddhaḥ aty-utkaṇṭhaḥ śavala-hṛdayo ’smad-vidho bāṣpa-dhārāḥ smṛtvā smṛtvā visṛjasi muhur duḥkha-das tat-prasaṅgaḥ “Dear cloud, O friend of Kṛṣṇa’s, are you thinking of the Śrīvatsa symbol on Kṛṣṇa’s chest like us queens engaged in loving affairs with Him? You are absorbed in meditation, remembering the association of Kṛṣṇa, and thus you shed tears of misery.” priya-rāva-padāni bhāṣase mṛta-sañjīvikayānayā girā karavāṇi kim adya te priyaṁ vada me valgita-kaṇṭha kokila “Dear cuckoo, you possess a very sweet voice, and you are very expert in imitating others. You could excite even a dead body with your voice. Therefore, tell the queens that good behavior is their proper duty.” na calasi na vadasy udāra-buddhe kṣiti-dhara cintayase mahāntam artham api bata vasudeva-nandanāṅghriṁ vayam iva kāmayase stanair vidhartum “O magnanimous mountain, you are very grave and sober, absorbed in thoughts of doing something very great. Like us, you have vowed to keep within your heart the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, the son of Vasudeva.” śuṣyad-dhradāḥ karaśitā bata sindhu-patnyaḥ sampraty apāsta-kamala-śriya iṣṭa-bhartuḥ yadvad vayaṁ madhu-pateḥ praṇayāvalokam aprāpya muṣṭa-hṛdayāḥ puru-karṣitāḥ sma “O rivers, wives of the ocean, we see that the ocean does not give you happiness. Thus you have almost dried up, and you no longer bear beautiful lotuses. The lotuses have become skinny, and even in the sunshine they are devoid of all pleasure. Similarly, the hearts of us poor queens are all dried up, and our bodies are skinny because we are now devoid of loving affairs with Madhupati. Are you, like us, dry and without beauty because you are devoid of Kṛṣṇa’s loving glance?” haṁsa svāgatam āsyatāṁ piba payo brūhy aṅga śaureḥ kathāṁ dūtaṁ tvāṁ nu vidāma kaccid ajitaḥ svasty āsta uktaṁ purā kiṁ vā naś cala-sauhṛdaḥ smarati taṁ kasmād bhajāmo vayaṁ kṣaudrālāpaya kāma-daṁ śriyam ṛte saivaika-niṣṭhā striyām “O swan, you have come here so happily! Let us welcome you. We understand that you are always Kṛṣṇa’s messenger. Now while you drink this milk, tell us what His message is. Has Kṛṣṇa said something about us to you? May we inquire from you whether Kṛṣṇa is happy? We want to know. Does He remember us? We know that the goddess of fortune is serving Him alone. We are simply maidservants. How can we worship Him, who speaks sweet words but never fulfills our desires?” CC Antya 19.109 mahāprabhu-nityānanda, doṅhāra dāsera dāsa yāre kṛpā karena, tāra haya ithe viśvāsa Translation: If one becomes a servant of the servants of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Lord Nityānanda Prabhu and is favored by Them, he can believe in all these discourses. CC Antya 19.110 śraddhā kari, śuna ihā, śunite mahā-sukha khaṇḍibe ādhyātmikādi kutarkādi-duḥkha Translation: Just try to hear these topics with faith, for there is great pleasure even in hearing them. That hearing will destroy all miseries pertaining to the body, mind and other living entities, and the unhappiness of false arguments as well. CC Antya 19.111 caitanya-caritāmṛta — nitya-nūtana śunite śunite juḍāya hṛdaya-śravaṇa Translation: Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta is ever-increasingly fresh. For one who hears it again and again, the heart and ear become pacified. CC Antya 19.112 śrī-rūpa-raghunātha-pade yāra āśa caitanya-caritāmṛta kahe kṛṣṇadāsa Translation: Praying at the lotus feet of Śrī Rūpa and Śrī Raghunātha, always desiring their mercy, I, Kṛṣṇadāsa, narrate Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, following in their footsteps. Purport: Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports to Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Antya-līlā, nineteenth chapter, describing the Lord’s devotion to His mother, His mad speeches in separation from Kṛṣṇa, His rubbing His face against the walls of the Gambhīrā, and His dancing in the Jagannātha-vallabha garden. so this last chapter of the caitanya caritamrta describe the intent ecstasy of caitanya mahaprabhu and separation of Krsna. All of Lord Caitanya was the most strict sanyasi member of the renounced order of life were not permit any private audience with any women would not hear any discussion about only worldly topic yet He would be absorb hearing the loving affairs between Krsna and Gopis, Krsna and the queens of dwaraka because those activities are totally non material completely transcendental. He would discuss those things in a public but would generally (6:10) chant hare krishna further or more (6:13) discuss other topics of bhagavad Gita , Srimad Bhagavatam etc. Paramhamsa very confidential social than He were discuss and rather this topic of Krsna into the pastimes. we know that Lord Krsna has five types of primary relationship at devotee can have with the Lord. Neutral, servitude, friendship, parental, and conjugal. Each of them offer different intensity ever increasing of devotional exchanges with the Lord, none of this relationship are material. Material relationship they would appear similar to this categories a master and a servant, a friend and a friend, a parent and a child, a husband and a wife are perverted or distorted reflection because these are the basis of the material body but the relationship in the spiritual world with Krsna are completely transcendental and the different relationship allow different intensity of exchanges although the affairs, the loving exchanges between the devotees the conjugal love appear by similar to the loving affairs in the material world that is nothing to do with the materials affairs like that. It says that even great scholars they cant understand this position of Krsna with the queens of dwaraka , with the gopis the (8:01) pastimes(8:06) krsna, . Therefore Krsna is the only person and all of the energy are His prakriti so its natural that the pastimes at the spiritual world some devotees engage in krsna service as gipis or His wife's , but in the spiritual world there is no appropriation, there is no sex life as we know in the material world. Its simply a loving sentiment between the Lord and His devotees talking different forms , His different relationship. So each relationship there is a development the relationship is neutral just earn respect when developed into a servant master relationship than service......( 9:04) when one thus further developed to friendship than there is an equality and familiarity among friends in the service is also a apprehension is also included when its....(9:17) that became apprehension like a friend appreciate good quality of his friend but the fear of a servant ....(9:28) admirer like a great sages admires God that is there been another form is there in the service of just admiration in a equal level so each level as a develops the devotion contain the previous qualities the parental...(9:48) Krsna the so called parents so the God has no parents He is the eternal He is the father of every one yet He can agreed to become someone child take out the baby form allow devotee to serve Him His parents .....( 10:03) bigger than the child parents always want to protect Krsna , why not protect Krsna so the parents actually became greater than God and a relationship that Krsna came with the shoe His father on His head come and serve the parents although he is the supreme independent but He likes sometimes His devotees in a superior position to Him. He is always ....(10:41) everybody, so when He can find a devotee who saw loving to Him that can take the position of a parent in pastime and through yogamaya the special purpose of the Lord which control the different pastime and relationship.....( 10:56) devotees when act as a parent just see Krsna terms as their relationship. similarly in the conjugal relationship includes all the previous orders but as a wife or a lover than sometimes one consider at a husband is henpeck but that he is dependent but this other intensity wanting to pleased, wanting to some that the consider the most complete of all the different rasas. But its the most difficult to understand because easy to mistakes it for the material loving relationship work so call loving relationship and this is what all the great sages is there are unable of Lord Ram great sages approaches Ram in the forest in the ....(11:50) and prayed that His future appearance as Krsna when He would be taking many queens they could take birth as women to becomes His queens and serve Him. Because they gets an opportunity of the must internal kind of devotional services is not that a ....(12:14) with the material world but this the different mediums for devotees to engage in the devotional services .So here this verses of caitanya caritamrita is expressing the intense separation when Krsna could go off somewhere to protect the pandava or to do something He would leave the dwaraka then the queens were dying up in the separation of Krsna . When Krsna left vrindavan than the resident of vrindavan specially the gopis they dying up went practically mad talking to bamboo bee and Krsna once send uddhava to give the message to Radharani that actually she should know that Radhe in every one heart and not to feel any bad anything when uddhava came and saw the intensity of Radharani's love practically Her madness and separation for Krsna then he realize that he was talking in a very superficial level of devotion to God. That Her pure love of krsna was so great, that he became converted he said that I could became even a just a blade of grass in vrindavan and have a Radharani step on my head and the gopis step on my head that would be perfection of my life. He came back to Krsna as same person after the association with the gopis although he came.....(13:31) So Lord Caintanya taught that although Krsna pastimes are not feasibly present now but we can serve Krsna in separation that actually the perfection of devotional service we can serve Krsna in separation similarly when the spiritual master present is an opportunity to tried to learn as much about devotional service so that ...(14:10) because when the spiritual master is not feasibly present than ....(14:16) separation. So the ideal thing is to learn as much as we can when we have the opportunity . Om namah bhagavate vasudevaya Om namah bhagavate vasudevaya Om namah bhagavate vasudevaya narayanam namaskritya naram chaiva narottamam devim sarasvatim vyasam tato jayam udirayet SB 6.1.51 tad etat ṣoḍaśa-kalaṁ liṅgaṁ śakti-trayaṁ mahat dhatte ’nusaṁsṛtiṁ puṁsi harṣa-śoka-bhayārtidām Translation: The subtle body is endowed with sixteen parts — the five knowledge-acquiring senses, the five working senses, the five objects of sense gratification, and the mind. This subtle body is an effect of the three modes of material nature. It is composed of insurmountably strong desires, and therefore it causes the living entity to transmigrate from one body to another in human life, animal life and life as a demigod. When the living entity gets the body of a demigod, he is certainly very jubilant, when he gets a human body he is always in lamentation, and when he gets the body of an animal, he is always afraid. In all conditions, however, he is actually miserable. His miserable condition is called saṁsṛti, or transmigration in material life. Purport: The sum and substance of material conditional life is explained in this verse. The living entity, the seventeenth element, is struggling alone, life after life. This struggle is called saṁsṛti, or material conditional life. In Bhagavad-gītā it is said that the force of material nature is insurmountably strong (daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā). Material nature harasses the living entity in different bodies, but if the living entity surrenders to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he becomes free from this entanglement, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te). Thus his life becomes successful. So taking birth in the heavenly planet so feels jubilation . Here in the material in a human form of life this lamentation animals are feel with fear. We have experience of humans and animals and dont have experience of demigods but the people heard that theres is a heaven where we go there ....(18.05) you see the concept in the religious books of different religion in the world there heaven is a place where thats lots of enjoyment and the quran talks about various types of sense gratification you can enjoy.So people they have idea when the moment they consider heaven means get back together with your family you live forever and forever family member happy no sufferings basically ....(18.43) but the idea of heaven ....(18.46) upper planetary system in the universe where people are bais entities who follows the law of God they have good material sense gratification but according to the vedas one doesn't stay there eternally one comes down from bath planet and ....(19.07) human form of life or animals according to their karma one can be in the heavenly planet for thousands of millions of years of our calculation so one things therefore very long time by the time of eternal time grasp in the backet....18.28 small period of time which quickly passes by the real goal of life is to go back to God head .Back to the original spiritual kingdom of God there is no meterial sense gratification...excuse-me. every is in relationship to the service of the Lord ....19:49 thinking about their presence of sense gratification as long as that the goal of the life how to make their an bodies happy than they force to come again and again in the material world....20:07 making their own body minded they want to make their family mrmber happy . people workhard specially in India you see the family unit is still very strong like to used be in america . sensually grow where even the brother live together with their children . I saw one join family with five brother living together and fifty five family members ( laugh) and they considered all are nephew and their own children decide all their children and all are cousin they all live together they consider each other cousin brother and even in India its amazing if you meet someone mean if they say he is my brother you have to ask your own brother? yes my own cousin brother ( Laugh....) while in America you know cousin you know you may say ....(21.15) because the family are so spread out by the time it depends you know family to family ethnic group to ethnic group. But in India cousin brother like our own uncle son like even they often say no he is my own brother, he is my sister husband uncle nephew (laugh....) something you may know (laugh) ...21.50 really close(laugh...) ...21.56 sometimes like you are travelling and if you find someone becomes from the same country or the same village are you will so happy infact madhu pandit ...22.08 in spain where some where someone that came from what was it? somewhere you meet the ?? ya ya yes yes just from India he said a country brother ( laugh) and so happy to meet a fellow ....22.24 actually from the same village they say village brother aapon my amar brother (laughing) some village( laugh) so that as gone a long way and preserving tradition and things like that had a good effect . So some people naturally they really tried to work for their family they work for their villages ,they work for their state father some patriot to work for their country, they give life for their country and the but this is still all are in a material platforms so what is does is brings us back again to the material world. Prabhupada explain this difference levels of present broad minded someone think of his country, someone think of humanity and the world, the ecology now the something for the very concerned for the green house effect danging the whole world and concern with the ecology the concerned which a much broader you can say almost universe world affair the whole humanity for the whole planet even the people are concerned about species which are endangered instigation but actually the concerned of all loving entity that is the true broad mind you can saw someone is worrying about....23.57 tv special some people Africa who were so concerned about hundred and thousands of widely species which should be killed by mismanagement ....24.08 but the tv they were saying how they could wait to get back home and have nice dinner (laugh) so what about the 24.18 (laugh) 24.22 (laugh) . so prabhupada he was explain that how Krsna conscious person by seeing it the soul of everything how actually the Lord is the father the origin the absolute truth basis of everything so they try to work for the welfare of all whole universe without any kind of prejudice or distinction ....24.58 one you widly beast 25.02 or saving the animal and the rainforest ...25.10 the devotees they try to avoid killing any animals 25.15 is quite easy to be healthy, natural, medically proven, eating a vegetarian diet specially the scripture say human being should eat food offered to Krsna. Krsna only accept leaves, flowers, grains, nuts, things in the mood of goodness. So eating vegetarian you know sanctified offered food is the proper food for spiritualist human being, there no animal wants to be killed , theres no chicken ....25.48 when you go fishing ,the fish try to swim other way thats what makes the difficult for the fishermen because the fish that want to escape doesn't want to go under fishermen. The culture of barbaric ...26.11 type of culture. Prabhupada used to called the Americans and the western people wide...26.15 putting colors on their face was a different between tribal people that put color on their face ladies who cover their face with makeup to attract the opposite sex is all the ...26.29 platform is that do any higher spiritual culture. So we are proud of our technology on our...26.36 so many other thing but we should fully developed to a broader universal view point . This can only come vow people became philosophically and spiritually awaken so all there are so many goodpoint . Prabhupada said the Americans people or western people they have intelligence, they have many they have determination , they have so many good features only thing they are missing is Krsna. They are missing the spiritual complete understanding of who they are??? what is life? what is the universe? If they could add that and everything could be perfect instead you get heads of state saying we must eradicate to chemical warfare from the world there some heads of the state which created much of the chemical warfare in the world and they are talking about simply reducing ...27.29 to enough chemical to kill....27.31 half of the population of the world 27.37 . So they only get blown ten times five times. so this is basically because the focus on life, focus on what the purpose of life and what are the function and role in the whole material world is not there in the newspaper and they dont know loke this supplied man people want sense gratification one boy wrote a letter say how can you say know? but I say the only way of life I know how can I say know to their everyone is doing the twenty five percent of all kids and high school taking coking and fifty five percent take marijuana , sixty to seventy five percent takes different forms of alcohol so what the question is saying know what other life is there? so Srila Prabhupada try to present and the present it try to spread this alternative positive alternative view point of life that actually real human life should be directed towards self realization towards realizing God and that happens automatically drug problem, alcohol problem all this different problem, problems of ecology 28.56 human society we direct the ultimate goal from sense gratification to self realization and salvation with the proper philosophical understanding of the relationship of the universal Krsna will be solved. Lord caitanya real the transcendental pastimes of Krsna even the confidential conjugal pastimes because generally people thing of God in a impersonal way they think that the absolute truth or God is a light or something impersonal they dont relate with the Lord so much in a person of way that would be plays the relationship in the material world. They relate as a orders a supplier , like give you a shoping list I want this, I want that, help my neighbor, get healthy help this one, get healthy help that one, we had a God as if He is our servant give me this , give me that but the actual love is when you go without any demands and you try to serve the lord to please Him other reciprocation other reasons curse mercy He naturally fulfills desire of this devotees even one Srila Prabhupada was sick he said don t pray to Krsna that I should stay here pray that if He pleases Krsna if it is his desire that I stay than please allow the spiritual master to be healthy. The devotee has no demands and Krsna if Krsna wants something to happen if Krsna has a different options is if all same to Krsna that the devotees may express like this particular thing but the Krsna has a another plan the devotees doesn't want to interfere in it the difference between pure devotion and mixed devotion, so the actual philosophical presentation of a relationship with Krsna is presented by Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the most complete and elevated presentation in the whole world when we say that every thing is already there in the bible and the Quran Lord Chaitanya has already categorized different levels of devotion. Devotion following scriptural rules with the desire to get something back from God, devotion with the desire for salvation, devotion with no desire that with incomplete knowledge devotion with full knowledge and full desire to Sevres Krsna but no personal desire to have anything independent what Krsna wants .Lord chaitanya ...31.37 Everything is categorised how the different levels of relationship and development of relationship with Krsna are there. So one can easily see what level I am now. How pure is my love for Krsna? How pure my love for God?...31.56 my own sensual gratification rather that for Krsna pleasure or I may have material desire how can i gradually we can not fixed our mind in Krsna fully by regulation by kind of rule we can serve Krsna free of this material desires than happiness we get in relationship with God relationship with the supreme lord that transcendental happiness Prabhupada explain what does it mean that human being is either hankering for something I have to have it, like someone has a five million dollars I have to take over time magazine and after to over the other company , I have to merge 32.37 so I can make a another five hundred million dollars as much liquid assets , I can take this company 32.50 even though they have too much and sometime they 32.52 in the stock market in house information 32.58 insider trader information other words dealers they set a insider information that some company gone do something so they sell 33.10 big people which gives somebody 33.13 they know three days ahead 33.14 going to bankrupt or merge or do this or that 33.18 or they can do something or they can make more money 33.24 .So so far greed even though people are healthy rich with million and million of dollars to makes a another hundred million make. They risk everything and a ...33.38 of million of dollars of fine. Even through the people have so much they are hankering 33.45 when somebody they want for minuet
