The following is a lecture given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja on January 26, 1992 – in Bangalore, India. The lecture begins with a reading from Bhagavad-gītā 12.8-9.

Sahagutaya navisan soya adachi samsama ani cha nanda just fix your mind upon me, the supreme personality of Godhead, and engage your intelligence in me. Thus you will live in me. All this without a doubt, my dear Arjuna Olivera wealth as you cannot fix your mind upon me without deviation, then follow the regulative principles of Vakti yoga. In this way, develop a desire to attain me. In this verse, two different processes of bhakti yoga are indicated. The first applies to one who has actually developed an attachment for Kṛṣṇa, the supreme personality of Godhead, by transcendental love, and the other is for one who has not developed an attachment for the supreme person by transcendental love. For this second class, there are different prescribed rules and regulations one can follow to ultimately elevate to the stage of attachment to Kṛṣṇa.

Bhakti Yoga is the purification of the senses. At the present moment in the material existence, the senses are always impure, being engaged in sense gratification. By the practice of bhakti yoga, these senses can become purified, and in the purified state, they come directly in contact with the supreme Lord. In this material existence, I may be engaged in some service to some master, but I don’t really lovingly serve my master. I simply serve to get some money. And the master is also not in love. He takes service from me and pays me. So there is no question of love. But for spiritual life, one must be elevated to the pure stage of love. That stage of love can be achieved by practice of devotional service performed with the present senses.

This love of God is now in a dormant state in everyone’s heart, and there love of God is manifested in different ways, but it is contaminated by material association. Now the heart has to be purified of the material association, and that dormant natural love for Kṛṣṇa has to be revived. That is the whole process. To practice the regulated principles of Bhakti yoga, one should, under the guidance of an expert spiritual master, follow certain principles. One should rise early in the morning, take bath, enter the temple, and offer prayers and chant hare Kṛṣṇa, then collect flowers to offer to the deity cook pusaps to offer to the deity, take prasadam, and so on. There are various rules and regulations which one should follow and one should constantly hear Bhagavad Gītā and Śrīmad Bhāgavata from pure devotees.

This practice can help anyone to rise to the level of love of God and then reassure of his progress into the spiritual kingdom of God. This practice of Bhakti yoga, under the rules and regulations, with the direction of a spiritual master, will surely bring one to the stage of love of God. Thus ends the Bhat Vijayaswami translation and purport to text nine and eight and nine of chapter twelve of the Bhagavad Gītā, as it is in the matter of devotional service, spoken on the 26 January 1992 in the 505th year of our Lord Sheetana Mahāprabhu o pastor, these are very important verses for me. Today Lord Kṛṣṇa is giving advice to Arjuna how to attain him. One is for those who are really out devotion for the Lord. They will do these things naturally.

The other is for those who want to achieve God in life. But they do not yet have the full devotion. They cannot concentrate their mind all of the time. So instead they need to guide themselves by a regulated practice of devotional service. According to some routine. They rise in the morning, they share Japan, they visit temples, they hear Kṛṣṇa Prasadam, they hear Bhagavad Gītā and Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. They do various practices for their own upliftment. Why will someone do these things? Why should someone achieve God in material life? People are very ignorant of their own nature. Actually, Sanātana Goswami was a very elevated power. And he, of course, Saitanya Mahatma Guru, he was also the prime minister for a very big empire. But he approached Taitanya Mahatma and said that people respect me as a great pandit.

They say that I am very learned Brāhmaṇa, but actually I am a fool because I don’t really know who I am. Who am I? This basic question, unless I answer, how can I consider myself to be dependent? So with this jaw in my feet, I humbly approach you, Chaitanya Mahatma guru. So please guide me. Tell me, who am I? What is the real nature of the self? So Chaitanya Mahatbu, he then gave the answer, jia salut Kodak, that the salu or the eternal nature of the living entity is that he is eternally the servant of Kṛṣṇa in bhagavad. These are Kṛṣṇa state Mamayvansa, Jīva, Loke Jīva Bhutta sanatano that we living entities are by eternal parts and parcels. We are eternally part of Kṛṣṇa. The Kṛṣṇa īśa vikrah as a station Brahma sanhita ishvarah paramah Kṛṣṇa sachit ayanta vikraha.

He is eternally blissful knowledge with full transcendental form. So we are not different from Kṛṣṇa. We are minute parts of Kṛṣṇa. Just like H bar has the same qualities of the fire, so we have similar qualities in Kṛṣṇa. But this fire can never become Kṛṣṇa. This fire can never become the fire. We can similarly never become Kṛṣṇa. But when that spark is separated from the fire, this spark is very weak. But when a spark is in the fire, it has a very big effect. When we are in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, when we are in Kṛṣṇa bhakti, then we have got the full power of the lord behind us. But when we are separated due to material conditioning, in the condition light, then we are very minute, very insignificant.

So the whole path of spiritual life is meant to purify our senses and bring us back to this pure satchirananda state. So the process of bhakti yoga is a process of purification. What is that we have to purify from? Why are we in this material world? To begin with, we are the kas. We are the servant of Kṛṣṇa. But we are in this material world because we want to be Kṛṣṇa. We want to be the controller. We want to be the lord of everything we see. We think that this world is for us to enjoy, that we are the master of everything we see. If a little fly lands on top of the house, he thinks, this house is mine. If we put a boundary around a piece of land, then we think, no, this land is mine.

This is such and such state, or such and such municipality, or such and such country. This is my property. But the will proprietor is who? Not the country, not the state, not the municipality, not the individual owner. The real proprietor is Kṛṣṇa. He is the ultimate proprietor. When the world understands it that there is only one owner of everything, that’s God. That’s the supreme Lord, Bhagavad Kṛṣṇa, then there will be peace in the world. Until that time, there will be so much fighting. So we are in this world because we are not recognizing that everything is Kṛṣṇa. We have a proprietary right, only secondary. We are given these things to serve Kṛṣṇa with them. Then we get liberation. Just like electricity can be used to either cool something down in a refrigerator or to heat something up on a hot plate.

Similarly, the same energy, if we use it in the service of Kṛṣṇa, it becomes a cause of liberation. If we use it for our own self gratification it becomes a cause of karmas and bondage. Sītā is lashley where Sītā is with love for hanuman, Sītā is all good fortune. But because Ravana wanted to steal Sītā and enjoy ka’s energy, enjoy Allah’s energy. Therefore for him Sītā was the cause of his total destruction. If we take the energy to be God’s and we use it in his service we get all a good portion. If we use it for our own pleasure without thinking that this should be used for Kṛṣṇa then it becomes a positive bondage. But being in this material world we are not able to be free from enjoying. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is saying that you regulate yourself with emotional service.

You offer whatever you do to me as a devotion. In this way, although it appears like a material activity is actually spiritual. If you are farmer into farming for Kṛṣṇa, if your businessman will do some business for Kṛṣṇa. If you are a housewife, you raise your children to be nice to both eastern Kṛṣṇa and encourage the husband in God conscious activities. If you are writer, you write for Kṛṣṇa. If you are hardest to do hard work for Kṛṣṇa, whatever you have ability you do that in such a way Kṛṣṇa is pleased. What is the difficulty? So this is the actual purpose of Sanātana Dharma is to bring us back to the param pada. This material world is the place for suffering. It is a dukhaliya. As for us to come, it’s a temporary place where we are forced to suffer.

But for the devotee there is no suffering. Why they are suffering? They are taking everything as Kṛṣṇa’s mercy. And so they are always in a festive mood. We are just enjoying some festivals here. Vaatyaktar festival. Now we’re having various programs. So everything is very wonderful and enjoyable. To be present with so many enlightened souls like yourselves. So bright face. What is the difficulty to be able to discuss these topics? To sing the bhajans, to feast on and prasada. What is the difficulty for the same for these very easy and enjoyable activities. Because they are all done with the purpose of reaching Kṛṣṇa and Babaram we are given the highest blessing. So for the yogis they are doing so much tapachiya. They have to suffer so much to get moksha. But for the bhakti yoga they have to enjoy so many festivities.

This is the tapasya. Instead of going to cinema hall you come to temple and sing and dance. There is nothing thats not enjoyable but that guru sapasiya we do that’s enough to please Kṛṣṇa. And that pleases Kṛṣṇa more than if you do the padmasana for hours together. So this path is handed down by Jigacharya. But sometimes what happens is in a different cool or in a different situation. Sometimes the purpose gets lost and people are displaying their rituals without knowing a purpose. Somehow the things get bought, but blindly he may stick to it. So there’s a story called the pasta kupa, that one time in a village, there was a family that was very well established. For many generations they lived in the same place. And three generations before the grandfather, he had got a very nice cupa or well.

And this well was giving very nice sweet water. And that water was considered the best water in the whole village. Everyone was going to get the drinking water for that well. But what happened that after 100 years had gone by, that well had become contaminated. There were various leaves falling in the well. There was one frog, he had fallen in the well and died. He’s floating belly up, white belly up, rotting in the well. There’s a green algae growing in the well. It’s become a green, thick water. One bird was falling, going by, the smell was so bad, it fell in the well inside, crows lying, their body floating in the water like this. The well had become very dirty. It was a bad snow was coming by, he fell like sick. But the householder, he was very strict.

So we must respect what our forefathers have done. They have given us this well. We have to drink the water from this well, no matter what. Satajkupam, he would say there well, the forefathers well, you must drink this water. So all the villagers are telling you, don’t drink the water is well up. Your forefathers got a nice well, but you didn’t keep it clean. You can’t drink the water as it is. But he’d say, nothing doing. Get out of here. Don’t meddle in my affairs, because the poop of this is my well. The forefathers well, the family well, we must drink from this water only. And he makes his wife, his children bring that water. They are getting skin disease, they are getting stomaching down here. Thousands. Our world is very sick.

So the neighbors, they were in the poster sitting there, panchayat health officer, district medical officer, very many appeals. This well is one bad. They sent inspector, and he gave the order, close the well. But that person told me, while you get out, I don’t care for your order. Sometimes the clue my well, the family well, the poor father’s well, we will never stop so then the health officer, he went to the police. That if they’re not following my order, that the police are given the order. They went to stop. When the police came, he pulled out his shotgun. I am here to death toss the goof on our well. Warfare’s well. We will never stop drinking this water. Get out of here. Well, the police have to go and get the whole battalion. Becoming a war.

But meanwhile, while they’re getting orders to make anger attack, the wife died, the son died. Even the man himself, he died. Food poisoning, poison, bad water. It was the end of the story. It may be that someone had forefathers and father, previous gurus, previous many. They were following in a very proper way. But through the passage of time, things have become distorted, become contaminated. People lost. What is their real purpose? They are just going through the rituals, just going through the motion. They are not getting purified, rather they are getting contaminated. Therefore, one needs to be very dynamic and see. According to Sadhu, according to Śātra, according to Guru, whether this effect is there, whether it is authorized. Moreover, dharma is like a medicine. When we take it, we should feel the effect. If they are doing dharma, that if that should be there.

We are feeling hati, we are feeling a devotion and love for the lord. Otherwise, if we are just doing it, we are not feeling any bhakti for the lord. We are strongly giving up. We are simply expending energy with no fruit, no results. So that we have to see whether we are really getting the effect, whether the effect is there. Otherwise, we are just blindly following a tradition without mind or without purpose. It may be that somewhere along the line, the whole thing has become. That’s why Caitanya Mahabhar, he advised that those who are really interested in making spiritual advancement in life, who really want to achieve the Lord, they need to very carefully study the Bhagavad Gītā and Śiva Bhagavad. These two books are especially men in Hallelujah.

For those who want to achieve perfection in life, all Vedas are considered the cream of the Vedas are considered to be Gītā and Harvard Gītā is the cream of the Veda. And Hogwarts is considered the ripe and fruit. But these two books in someone means they can grasp the essence of a whole vedic culture and purpose. Of course, sometimes what happens is that people, they may know that there’s something going wrong, but they don’t care anymore. They become institutionalized and it becomes like a cheating. There’s a story about one time, there was one night guard he was chokidar of the village. He was very respected chowkidar. He was keeping the whole village protected all the night. In the night he’d be walking and with his feet he’d be tapping. He goes tapping the road and everyone will know he is guarding mercedes.

But he had another side business. His side business he was also a thief. So he would go and steal from the people’s house. Then he go and visit the restaurant. John come here. And he put few of the items in his pocket. Grab him out, shaking him, you know beating him. I saw this man buy a house. These things he has in his pocket. Are these your things that we asked about? Oh you have got his amazing. How did he get. Oh you have done such a good job. But there are many other things missing. Anyway something you got. You got receipt I think main thing he kept it. Huge thing. He just showed everyone experts at Chokita he always gets his 30th. But he actually is a teeth. So this way is going on.

So one day he decided I want to get the Lakpati the richest man in the village. He is monkeying. I remember very lovely that night Lakpatri asked work. This was some time ago, that anniversary night, dark moon night under his death. So he went inside the house to the dark moon night to steal this house. Inside the house there was another thing. Then he was in a rescue. Then I think that to me too. You be quiet, I will be quiet. The gonna be choking up. You gotta be telling me you got some respect in the village. If you get the deal I will tell everyone you’re thief. You will be disgraced. You lose your finally you will be forced to suffer to me I have a regular tea. You arrest me and you beat me a few times put me in jail for a few months.

All come out and against I am stealing. That’s a big indifference to me. But you need your bambi. You don’t tell anybody here stealing. I don’t tell anybody. You know what I am still I don’t have here stealing. We have steals. When this man fill out the good and then after that only to monkey church. So then they sold to that man. But one thing, he took most of the things he was using the shokira and went on. So this day Sunni truth, Hamni truth is going on. You see even in a taboo in a religion, in science in so many areas people are not given a true picture. You don’t criticize me, I won’t criticize you. But if you’re doing something wrong. Why shouldn’t I say? If other people are being misleading, mislead. But this is our problem. No, no. You do me too.

What do you do? You don’t know anything. I won’t say anything. Even I came out and go asleep at night. Magazine that some time ago, our Nobel Prize winner laureate, who has become very physics expert, he was found that his associate was cheating an experiment she was putting up all setup. But when her assistant was another junior doctor folder, he she revealed that this associate is actually cheating this master true fingers he’s giving. Then initially, all the other scientists said, it will be true. What are you doing? Don’t tell anybody. You’re going to lose the fate of the people in China, you see? But the whole thing backfired. Music in China. They put their own article here. Then they all have to come public. No, I am very good today. They’re glad to reveal this thing. I see.

They didn’t want anyone to know that the cheating was going on. So when they deal with the scientists amongst themselves, anytime these things are going on, they just keep it under the lid. They don’t want anyone to know. So finally, that person had to the local police, not least. But the science winner, he has to give up his professorship and fellowship at the university. He must also distinguish. So these things are going on. So this way what’s happening is that people get misled. So at least we don’t want to offend anyone. We don’t criticize anyone. But we have to speak. Whatever the shasta says is that nothing. Speak someone else’s idea. Then they can also speak to Shasta if anything we’re saying is wrong. Because whatever we do, we have to guide according to the Saska. Otherwise we will be in a wrong path.

You see, we need a proper guidance. I told before the stories about the blind man who has seen land by the cow. You might remember there was one binder, and he was seeing land. Actually, he was wanting to visit his father in law’s house. So he was going along the way. But he was fighting and hard to find a way. So he was asking people how to get to my father’s house. So one person he asked was a counter boy. He said, oh, yes, I know your father in law very well. I have one of his cows. And I am literally taking care of a cow for your father in law. Oh, Eddie. God, please take me to his house. So, no, how can I take you? The cows will go up here and there. I have to take care of the cows.

And how will I get there? I am lying. Is very hard for me to find a way. So. Okay, look here. This cow belongs to your father, God. Very good. You just hang on the tail of the cow and the cow will leave you. All right? Why not? So the man, he was whole life. Hold on. She got onto the tail, the cow, the blind man. Now the cow doesn’t know who is this fellow who is holding on my tail. So the cow became angry and gave him a kick. When he got a kick, oh, he pulled back. When he pulled the tail of the cow became frightened and ran on. And then he’s, whoa, he’s being pulled. And the cow goes into the forest and there’s all the swords ripping his clothes behind the cow. The cow pulls all around.

He’s getting his frozen, injured all over his oath. They’re still holding on the cow fighting. The cow goes to the house. The servant of his father wants to who is this man? Holding an account jail of my master. He must be a county. He starts shooting out with his fingers. He’s just smashing it. So the poor man, he gets ripped, cut, bruised, beat deciding the father, what happened, please? So the moral of the story is, we need a proper guide. If we don’t need a proper guide, if you’re not guided by proper guru, not guided by proper Shastriga or knowledge by the example of great devotees, then what happens? They were like blind and pulled by the cow with this car, follow anybody blindly, then they get misled and we suffer so much inconvenience. Spiritual tasks would be very smooth.

If we have proper guide, proper guru, we are following the satra, then we can avoid so many difficulties. But if we are just pull the arm following some improper guide, their life of life and pulled by the cow will be ripped and caught and bruised and beaten in so many ways, will be forced to suffer. So therefore, it’s very important to fight the power guide than to follow the process given by Shastra. And then one can very easily reach Kṛṣṇa. It’s not difficult. His message was to let everyone give back to Kṛṣṇa very easily. In this angel telling it’s not difficult. We simply have to chant hare Khari. Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa. In the Kali Santra Upanishad, this verse is mentioned. The 69 of Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahalancha is especially the breach of purification from all the contamination of Kali yuga.

If they sold us to come, there is no better alternative given than all the vedas for this age of telling. So this simple process is very sublime. We may say Hare Kṛṣṇa know the name of Kishna is all powerful. The name of Kṛṣṇa can purify anything. That we should know how powerful Kṛṣṇa is. We cannot put any limit to that. So Chaytani Mahāprabhu, he gave us Mossad which is simple but it’s the most powerful. Sometimes people are very sick, they need injections, very distant, very strong medicine or they have to take some very strong medicines. So this is also encapsulated form. Just take it very easily. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Everything is inside. It’s not difficult. It’s contains in panchayatra maharaj only explains all the yantras, all the sanchas, all the mantras have been combined in that hare Kṛṣṇa hare Kṛṣṇa sound. This is sabha Brahman.

So by chanting you are getting the effects, the multiple effects. But our mind will tell you that facility is there. Because now it’s a recession in karma. It’s like economic recession. Now it’s harmonic recession, depression. So to give a special opportunity for everyone this mahabharantha is given. The simple process is given. If we can even just concentrate on that Kṛṣṇa will be very pleased. But it’s not that the verses is new. This was also used in Satya yuga. Ajaymil was delivered by chanting in Darpa. Yuga Dropadi started to try the name of Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa came and gave her animated sahib. So all the yuga is always in the name of Ramjur. So this process of Harika is not a new process but it is especially the process recommended for this age.

And if we follow this process according to Chetanya Mahatma whose instruction then we can very easily achieve the success what she tangled up was open to everyone. He was respected also by everyone. It’s interesting to know that when he was preaching thousands and hundreds of thousands of people were following. One time one minister asked the emperor Hussain Shah then what do you think that actually emperor asked the minister who is this Chetanya Mahatma? The minister was if I tell the muhammadan emperor how great Chaitani Muhammad, maybe he will become affected, want to take some revenge or something. So he said, let me just present in a very definitive way. He said that he is one of those travelling here and there. A few people are following. Every empress said no, I don’t believe you my lord. You are the emperor, you are not heard.

So you tell what you think, you ask yourself and you say who you think you will be more able to know. So the emperor said, well I think that he is not different than Hora. Not dependent Allah sir, how do you say that? What gave you that relaxation? He said, well, why are you working for me, sir? Because of our great respect for you. And the most said, no. You are working for me because I paid you. If I didn’t give you a salary, you won’t work for me. My generals won’t work for me, my governors won’t work for me. Nobody will be working for me if I don’t pay them. Everyone in this whole kingdom, his whole empire is working because I am giving them money.

If I didn’t give some gratification to my wife, I don’t also know if she will stay with me. But Shaitanya Ba ha Prabhu, I see this person, big ministers, governors, all kinds of people are going after him. He’s not giving anybody any money, he’s not giving any gratification. Whatever he is going after him then he must be giving them something divine. Otherwise nobody works in this world for nothing unless you get directly some satisfaction from God. So I think that he must be not different from Allah. He must have that divine potency. Otherwise how everybody is going happiness. So in conclusion, this shall be emperor could appreciate how rare it is for people to work without any material gratification. That is real love. We can experience love in this world when we are working for the Lord out of devotion.

So we hope that all of you will try to do little devotion for the Lord on a regular basis. And as you experience that love, that ecstasy, that bliss then you will also be able to achieve the full perfection of life. Thank you very much. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Someone has given a question already. Should ISKCON be not involved in the socio political activity of this country? ISKCON is one of the rarest, curious, selfless collection of intellectuals. As one can imagine, all the full time devotees are educated, intelligent, hardworking, extensive all manner as a research. Thank you very much. I have all the feeling that this group of people have lost want to contribute to the man tank at large. At present, your Syrians, your services attract only intelligent and religious minded individuals into Iskar. The benefits that come to the society are true but slow.

To start with Iskar to think of a thinking whose savior is giving so much. What’s the question? Where does? There’s no question. The only first item is the question. Should Iska not be involved in social political activity at this juncture? You see Iskcon. Prabhupāda said he wants to keep as a society especially to train the preachers or train like the mamanas for giving guidance to their society. So this Kamal rather guide those who are one to doing that political activity, to guide them how to do that in a proper way. If we get involved in the political activity ourselves. This track is a very dirty kind of situation that can pollute the whole atmosphere. So this is why Chamathya aggravating a certain aloofness. Although he was into that, he was not a great spiritualist, he was a moralist.

But still we kept a certain standard of political culture. For us to maintain a neutrality, we have to stay above party politics. But we will be very happy to guide any politician who wants to know how to organize the things so that the people can be more progressive and a complete human being can be considered the complete society. And that way we are not limited to only one political party. Any party can come and take advice to our own, to all. As far as the social activities, there are many social organizations we will take into consideration in other countries. The many social organizations. You see, the problem is that there are fewer, many other organizations who are actually concentrating, especially on the spiritual revival of Egypt. This is the very root cause of our social degeneration.

So we are trying to solve that problem by going to the root. There are various ways of solving a problem. So we have to go to the root. One time there was a small boy, just to give an example, he had a boil on his back and he was suffering out of pain. So he was crying out to his mother, nothing healthy and suffering. And the feeling came, oh, it hurts so much. So the mother was feeling so much compassion for the child, she called the boy BD and said, please do something, the son is hurting. So the sister came and started to blow on that boil because that poor being breathed, that boy was literally whatever she thought. Again, it was hurting. Some other was putting on some cool leaves from a nearby tree, gave little relief. And again, that boil was crowding.

You know, the boil is burning so much in his back. So one uncle came and he asked the uncle, what is the solution for this boy? He’s suffering so much pain from the boiling. So this uncle had visited many places and he had been to death in Japan, China, many places. So he learned a little buddhistic thought. So they asked him, what is the solution? He said, I think the best solution, you should kill the boy. If you kill the boy, all the problems will be finished. No more oil, no more pain. But the mother was not very appreciative of this solution. So finally the father came and he saw the situation. He went to get a doctor. And the doctor saw the whole situation. Doctor immediately opened up his bag and took out his surgical knife.

When the boy saw the surgical light, he started to cry out. Mommy Sandy. He tried to kill me with a knife. I don’t want to die by the doctor’s knife. If he died any other way. No. He should have killed me. He was crying out. So the doctor intended to kill the boy. The doctor went and cut the boy, took out the pot, the bad blood, the poison, put it antiseptic, bandaged it up. Very soon the boy was sitting, relieved. Then the father apologized. Please forgive us. Our boy who is abusing you is very unpolite. We are very sorry. So it doesn’t matter. It’s my duty to help people in this test. After all, we have to face these problems. I am very glad. I feel bad. I could help you. Thank you very much. Goodbye. He took his bed and went.

So there are problems in society like this. How to solve it? Some people say, go on it. That means those people who think their solution to life problem is simply makes some adjustment materially. Without any overall perception of the real problems. Of the real destination of real society. These temporary solutions never give a lasting effect. In fact, one solution causes another problem. Then the other solution by the uncle is to kill the boy. This is like the Avaitavadi or the sunya vadi. They say that we just merge into the light. All the powers go. So that when we finish off our individuality. We lose our individual cognitions out of ourselves as separate from anything else. So this is like a spiritual suicide. The third example of that doctor is like a little bona fide guru.

Who knows what is a problem and he gives it to our cure. Sometimes people criticize. You will give so many nice praises in your question. But many people, they also criticize because they don’t know. What is this Kṛṣṇa passage movement. We don’t take any nail, fish or egg for diet. We don’t take any intracation via coffee or tea. We don’t. You see, gamble. And we know have extraterrestrial sexual relations for this insect. They’re very strict rules very often. But still some people, they know they are taking drugs because they feel champion and dancing on the street. They don’t see complicated what to speak of drugs. But this type of thing. People can say anything without knowing the fact. And this thing will always happen. Troubled life. So sometimes people falsely accuse, they misunderstand. But later when they get the relief.

When actually they chant hare Kṛṣṇa. Then they show very good. Very good. So we are waiting for that day when people are appreciating and many people are appreciating the good effect of chanting and that’s what we want. If one person can feel little relief, little happiness and like that’s enough for us. So in this way we are trying to help society. In the data there is a war for the government. Not everyone should be in Shatriya. Not everyone should be in politics. The politician is also a neutral person to guide them. This is a problem. Today we have many politicians. Where is that? Where they guide there is no governor. The king can govern us. But today they don’t have to die. Everybody has been politics. No one will give a good opinion. They will be bringing out their own political interest.

So this is one of the things for machine in the constitution. In that Raja Sabbath which is supposed to be like the funding further. But now it’s also politicized. So I don’t know what is the solution immediately but the long end solution. Nobody said we need to get this type of influence. The people who are above politics to guide the politicians. So this is also an important role. Thank you very much. Why the importance is given to Rāma? You have to ask Yasa Deva in mantra we are reading manta sattra. Why the mantra has been somewhere. Why Kṛṣṇa does so many things? You can ask, I won’t be able to say. Someone asked me one time, why Kṛṣṇa? Why not another man? These things are for answer. We can make some speculation and show us some wisdom.

But ultimately this thing that Kṛṣṇa’s own freedom of will, you can say pick up his very special word. Kṛṣṇa got so many good qualities. But this is Kṛṣṇa he wear, that’s his dress, that’s the way he dresses. There’s no reason to it. So Hari Kṛṣṇa mahamaja. There are so many mantras. Why each mantra is made in a particular way? There is mantra so easily ascertained, we can say what the mantra means. What does it do? Why is it made in a particular way? I don’t think that anybody can answer that question. But anyway, Kṛṣṇa, Rava, they are both the most powerful names mentioned in the vera. In the readers it says that you share one. The people are sharing one name of Ram. And if you chant three names of Ram, the people are sharing one name of Kṛṣṇa.

So when you chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, all of the mantras equally powerful. So that means 300,000 times the name of Ishlo by changing the entire Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahā mantra. So this gives a multiple effect. So in his gates of Kali, you require special turbo power. First, we need special powerful mercy, because we have more contamination. Biblical. So that’s why this mantra is especially destroyed. Also, it’s very easy. Only three words, Hare Kṛṣṇa and Rāma. So we find in any country, whether african or chinese or any country, Hari Kṛṣṇa, Maharmatra. They can share many mantra they cannot pronounce. For Hare Kṛṣṇa and Ram, only three words that they are going to organize. And so it’s very easy for anyone to memorize. They only have to memorize to pronounce three different separate words. Hare Kṛṣṇa.

So we are experiencing all over the world, 18 and a half ago, perhaps better than excited. So here we cannot know what is the reason, since because he got mixed with the gifted women he carried, Lord Etna Mahāprabhu resurrected him and asked him to take that. But in spite of that, Ethnomahu’s discipleship was showing lot of mercy to this Dhammada Saru, and bringing a shelter and drinking to inform Satymata, that terrible of our problem. So please, let’s see, let us know why they did not bother him. I put him back. Well, these are the names on this stuff watching every rejected Ru Gamada. Ru Gamada is personal secretary of work. Hey, Jamie. In South India for so many years, he was accompanied by one Kṛṣṇa dar, right? When Kṛṣṇa Das, he was just a promontory assistant for world Chaitanya.

But Kṛṣṇada, when he was somewhere here in South India, there were some gypsies known as Bakashari. And they dropped the Kṛṣṇa task. And they had some very abuse women. And these women engaged him in the lysit sect. And this way he was massacred and drugged. And he was overwhelmed by this very sinful situation. So they are going to capture this person, how they will gain recruits into their sister plan. So once your time went there all of his mercy and grabbed his by the Sikhs. He grabbed him out and pulled him out of there. And when was the GCS attacked him? The Babajari is attacked. The weapons pushed through their hands and started cutting down their own bodies. So this way. But we just asked, how can we have a commercial assistant who already is all down with transmit ships and everything?

So he said, you go back now and just stay in Jayanan Purī. And then you do your devotional service. But I can’t think you with me now, because already informed him all the principles. So better you go there, that because Shetanya Bharat, he had Sandra, he had to show a very high standard. So he didn’t keep Brahmachari business as they were not following strictly the principles. We asked that if they are doing higher association with their wife that was all right. But the Brahmachary had to be very sick to stay with Shaita bin Akuru. But Sheikh didn’t want people to take his mercy as an excuse to do religion because he’s very merciful. Before they came to Bharti, he would forgive him.

But once they became an initiated devotee, if they were again breaking their principle and he was not with this in his immediate association because he said this will encourage others to take the whole Darwa like me. In fact, after Chetani Mahabharata left there were some people who caused a bad name for Shekandji Maharbhu’s movement by doing all kinds of nonsense and saying Sheitanji Maharaj was very masterful. But what Sheikh Mahabharata was very strict. He was soft like a rose, but he was also hard like a lion. He wouldn’t tolerate anything against the shastra, against because something which was self destructive. But if somebody was fallen and he was trying to deliver that person. But the demand of the preacher should be of a pure standard.

Otherwise how they would be able to preach then they should go live in their house or live in or not try to preach and do illicit activities.
