19930720-SB-01 Nila Radhe DD Start Date 28/09/2019                      

Perfection in self-realization cannot be attained by any type of yogis unless he engages

in devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead for that is the only

auspicious path. (repeated twice)

Purport:That knowledge and renunciation are never perfect unless joined by devotional

service is explicitly explained here. Na yujyamānayā means “without being dovetailed.”

When there is devotional service, then the question is where to offer that service.

Devotional service is to be offered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the

Supersoul of everything, for that is the only reliable path of self-realization, or Brahman

realization. The word brahma-siddhaye means to understand oneself to be different

from matter, to understand oneself to be Brahman. The Vedic words are ahaṁ

brahmāsmi. Brahma-siddhi means that one should know that he is not matter; he is

pure soul. There are different kinds of yogīs, but every yogī is supposed to engage in

self-realization, or Brahman realization. It is clearly stated here that unless one is fully

engaged in the devotional service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead one cannot

have easy approach to the path of brahma-siddhi.

In the beginning of the Second Chapter of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam it is stated that when

one engages himself in the devotional service of Vāsudeva, spiritual knowledge and

renunciation of the material world automatically become manifest. Thus a devotee does

not have to try separately for renunciation or knowledge. Devotional service itself is so

powerful that by one’s service attitude, everything is revealed. It is stated here, śivaḥ

panthāḥ: this is the only auspicious path for self-realization. The path of devotional

service is the most confidential means for attaining Brahman realization. That perfection

in Brahman realization is attained through the auspicious path of devotional service

indicates that the so-called Brahman realization, or realization of the brahmajyoti

effulgence, is not brahma-siddhi. Beyond that brahmajyoti there is the Supreme

Personality of Godhead. In the Upaniṣads a devotee prays to the Lord to kindly put

aside the effulgence, brahmajyoti, so that the devotee may see within the brahmajyoti

the actual, eternal form of the Lord. Unless one attains realization of the transcendental

form of the Lord, there is no question of bhakti. Bhakti necessitates the existence of the

 

recipient of devotional service and the devotee who renders devotional service.

Brahma-siddhi through devotional service is realization of the Supreme Personality of

Godhead.

 

 

19930720-SB-02  Parameshwara Prema Das Start Date 03.10.19                               

Brahma siddhi pure devotional service is realization of the Supreme Personality of God

head. The understanding of the effulgent rays of the Supreme Personality of God head

is not the perfect stage of brahma siddhi or brahman realization nor is the realization of

the paramatma feature of the supreme person perfect, but Bhagavan the supreme

personality of God head is akhil atama he is the superior super soul one who realizes

the supreme personality realizes the other features mainly the paramatma within

features rather and the brahman features and that total realization is Brahma Siddhi

“Om Tat Sat” thus ends the Bhakti Vedanta Swami translation of the purport of Srimad

Bhagavatam Canto 3 Chapter 25 Text 19 Translation

“Perfection in self-realization cannot be attained by any kind of yogī unless he engages

in devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for that is the only

auspicious path.”

Here Kapila Muni is saying this is the only auspicious path doing devotional service,

throughout the vedas there are these definitive statements glorifying the process of

devotional service. Seeing the process of devotional service is essential, Brhan-

Naradiya Purana says “harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam kalau nāsty

nāsty nāsty eva gatir anyathā” in describing the holy name of Kṛṣṇa that, every path is

not complete without devotional service. Devotional service is essential, similarly

chanting the holy name is essential, kevalam, in this age of kali nasty eva nasty eva

nasty eva, no karma, no gyana, no yoga, only bhakti this is the jeeva pantha  all

auspicious path, however it is very unfortunate that today the modern people in India,

although they are cultured in Sanskrit or Bengali culture they don’t take the trouble to

actually understand the siddhantha or the conclusion of the scripture. In fact although

here the vedas clearly states, what is the necessity of Bhakti, necessity of chanting the

holy name, someone can very easily pass that on and the new people they tend to say

“Why are you being so fanatic, dogmatic you are only saying there is one way everyone

says there way is the only way so we reject you because you say there is only one

way”. One way has to be the way, one of the ways is the way, many people are claiming

that theirs is the way, that doesn’t mean it isn’t the way, there is a way and that way is

the way and one has to find the way and go all the way back to God Head. Lord

Caitanya he said that the path of serving the Supreme Personality of God Head and the

other way they are trying to satisfy the public, the two don’t go together you want to

satisfy everybody and you want to satisfy Kṛṣṇa how is this possible because everybody

has a different interest and Kṛṣṇa has a different interest , we need to satisfy Kṛṣṇa’s

interest that is Bhakti and everyone else’s real interest would be satisfied by that. But

there are foolish misconceptions of what they think is there interest cannot be accepted

as a goal for the pure devotee. Besides in Bengal many people they create their own

shlokas there is one verse, one poetry someone composed “dekhe bhajan hari bhajan”

it’s all the same whether you are jumping up and down on the dinghy on the right …  do

 

kirtan or if you are jumping up and down in the kirtans it is all the same, right, theek,

bolo is that correct “no” thank you, but they could say anything and put it in the poetry

and people think oh that is very nice, someone has made a nice poetry “jato mat tato

path” whatever you do it all goes to the same destination, it’s all one, it sounds nice

unifies all the difference.

 

 

19930720-SB-03 Nila Radhe DD Start Date 7/10/2019 End Date 7/10/2019               

All goes  to the same destination, it’s all one. It sounds nice. Unifies all the different

dualities, pleases everybody. No matter what you do it all right. You’re ok don’t worry

about it, as many speculations so as many destinations. It’s all the same. So this may

sound nice but it’s not the truth. Caitanya Mahaprabhu very clearly said, ekaleshwar

Kṛṣṇa saba bhrtya. Kṛṣṇa is the only Supreme Personality of Godhead, everyone else is

His servant. In Bhagavat Gita Kṛṣṇa says mam ekam saranam vraja. Surrender unto

Me. Naradiya Purana says Harer Nama Harer Nama Harer Namaiva Kevalam. Only the

harinam in Kaliyuga. So the scriptures tend to take this mood of being very explicit only

this way because there are differences, there is sura and asura, devas and demons so

two different things are there. Ravana he was worshipping Shiva. He was doing

worship, he was doing puja, famous worshipper, he was singing bhajans. Hanuman he

was also well known devotee. So you mean to say Ravanas goal and Hanumans goal

was the same? There is also what they did was the same? Ravana wanted to kill Ram

and Hanuman wanted to glorify Ram. Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram… patita pavana

Sita Ram. Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram. So the goal isn’t the same. Ravana was trying

to kill Ram. Hanuman was trying to save Sita and glorify Ram. Ravana wanted to enjoy

Sita. To say it’s all the same is very offensive. Hiranyakashipu and Parahlad father and

son did they both have the same objective. Obviously not. Hiranyakashipu wanted to kill

Prahlad because he was telling everyone to worship Kṛṣṇa. So saying everything is the

same is an excuse to tell people you don’t have to worship Kṛṣṇa. Jai Radha Madhava

Ki Jai. Sakhis vrinda ki Jai. Gauranga Mahaprabhu ki jai. It’s simply a way of tell people

you don’t have to worship Kṛṣṇa it’s alright. If you worship Kṛṣṇa means Kṛṣṇa wants

your undivided devotion. Ekaha Kuru Nandana single pointed fixed devotion. But if you

do the other, maya processes yes you can do so many things. So people they don’t

want to hear bad that they are not doing the right thing, so then someone gives some

speculation it’s alright whatever you do. But the karmis, their goal is svarga to reach

heavenly planets. The jnanis they want nirvana or to merge in the Brahman. The yogis

they want Parmatma or sayujya mukti. The Bhaktas they want to serve Kṛṣṇa, offer

Kṛṣṇa their words, their thoughts, their deeds, everything for Kṛṣṇas pleasure they want

to get Kṛṣṇa Prema. They don’t want heavenly residence or to merge in the Brahman

what to speak of nirvana, they don’t want these things. So how can one say that its all

the same things? Karma , jnana, yoga and bhakti have different destinations. Different

aspects of reality. The supreme realization is bhakti and here kapila muni is

explaining even for other spiritualists to achieve perfection they also need to worship

Kṛṣṇa. They need to engage in devotional service. Actually devas they want to be called

same as Vishnu. That doesn’t please them. They are suras. Suras means devotees of

Vishnu. If the police chief comes…

 

 

19930720-SB-04  Nila Radhe DD Start Date 7/10/2019 End Date 8/10/2019           

If the police chief comes here and then you call the police chief. Oh look at the prime

minister. Does he hear or feel you are glorifying him, you glorified him? You say no you

are acting just like the president of the country, or the king. Just like someone wants to

call the police chief oh you act just like king Edward, he didn’t take it as a compliment.

He is a police chief. If you call him a king, chief minister or a president of a country, hell

think you’re joking with him. You’re making fun of him and also you’re insulting the other

dignitaries. You call one of the devas as parameshwar as someone equal to Vishnu or

Kṛṣṇa they don’t take it as a compliment. It’s offensive. They don’t like it. They are

pleased when the devotees offer them respect for their actual position. As the devotees,

they are powerful assistants of the Lord. When you glorify them for what they are then

they can appreciate. Not for what they are not. So now people have become lazy to

know what is the real truth in the vedas. Therefore they are accepting half-truth as the

full truth. They are accepting untruth as the truth and this is creating havoc, disaster,

total destruction in the spiritual life of the people. So the easy way to spread some kind

of bogus religion or imitation religion is to create some nice imitation Sanskrit or Bengali

verses, Hindi verses. Make it sound like scriptures then they think oh yes this must be

true because it rhymes, sounds good. Therefore we have to be careful. Not everything

that rhymes is shastra. Mayavad is actually totally simply very bogus. That’s why we

don’t sing any songs. We sing songs authorized by the previous acharyas. Caitanya

mahaprabhu he wanted his followers to develop love of Kṛṣṇa. On time He was in His

house.  Suddenly He heard the sound of Kṛṣṇas flute. When he heard the sound of

Kṛṣṇa’s flute he became mad in love of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa! Kṛṣṇa! He was calling out. His

heart was rendered he wanted to be with Kṛṣṇa. He was feeling separation like

Radharani was feeling separation for Kṛṣṇa. So he was crying out for Kṛṣṇa. “Where are

you Kṛṣṇa?” mother Sachi hearing Kṛṣṇa’s name being loudly shouted by Nimai. She

ran and seeing how her son was so much in love with Kṛṣṇa, she held her hand out and

begged Nimai give me Kṛṣṇa prema. This is what the devotees want from Caitanya

Mahaprabhu. Why go to the Supreme Personality of Godhead who has come to give

the highest benediction and ask him for something insignificant. When Lord Caitanya

offered Kolavecha Sridhar, I will give you a Kingdom, you can be a ruler..no I don’t want

a kingdom. Alright I will give you swarga; I will give you the heavenly residence. You

can go to Indraloka. This is Sumitra he sent Harishchandra right up to Indraloka without

doing any other rituals. Isn’t it amazing thing. Ravana he promised all of his citizens.

Don’t worry about it. Don’t do any pious activity. I will take you to heaven; I am going to

build a stairway right up to the heaven. You can just go there. Modern politicians are

saying what you worrying about the religion for? We will give you economic

development. We will give you fruit in every part, two in once in every house. Unlimited

sex pleasure by free abortions and sterilizations. What you worrying about? Aids will be

cured in any day. Any way you can use some temporary contraceptive system and

avoid it.

Like this the materialistic governments are trying to induce the people, "Don't do

tapasya, don't worry about it, follow our ways." So this is a system offered by

materialists since time immemorial. The Lord Himself now, He was offering Kolavecha

Sridhara, "Do you want heaven? I'll give you heaven!"

"No, I don't want heaven."

Pure devotees, even if the Lord Himself offers them, they don't want it. They don't want

heaven. Heaven means heavenly sense gratification. So much happiness. They don't

want it. "Alright, I'll give you liberation, what the Yogis for thousands of births they do

meditation for, tapasya for. I'll give you moksa."

"I don't want moksa."

He's responding to it all, "I don't want it. It's not for me."

"What do you want? What is it that you want?" Lord Caitanya asked Kolavecha

Sridhara, the banana salesman, the hawker, sitting in the market. You'd think that he'd

grab it. "Here take unlimited wealth, a kingdom"

"No I don't want it"

"Take a heavenly residence"

"I don't want"

"Give him liberation!"

"No, I don't want it"

"So what do you want?" What did he ask for? "I want to serve you! I want to serve you

every time you appear. In every incarnation, and give you vegetables and fruits. I want

to see that smiling face of that mischievous brahmana boy Nimai. But if I can't get that, if

I'm not qualified, at least be born in the family of your devotees, where I'll be trained to

chant the holy names of Kṛṣṇa, with a singular attention."

Then Lord Caitanya say, "Alright. I will give you the greatest thing I have to offer. That

which even Brahma and Siva are eager for getting. I will give you Kṛṣṇa prema!"

 Nitai Gaura Sitanath Premanande Hari Hari Hari Haribol Haribol!

All the devotees they were dancing in ecstasy jumping chanting "Haribol Haribol!"

 

How Lord Caitanya was giving the mercy to this simple devotee Kolavecha Sridhara.

Kolavecha Sridhara, he didn't think it was all the same. He had so much ability to

differentiate. Because he was seeing what was valuable what wasn't so valuable. This

discrimination is essential for spiritual life. To believe that everything is the same. In

 

India it is a big foolishness. So Kapila Muni, He's not seeing everything as the same.

He's saying you have bhakti. Even if you want the other things. To get buddhi yoga, to

get Brahman, to get siddhi, to realise the absolute truth, you must go through bhakti.

 

bhukti-mukti-siddhi-kāmī — sakali ‘aśānta’

kṛṣṇa-bhakta — niṣkāma, ataeva ‘śānta’

 

(CC Madhya 19.149)

 

Lord Caitanya said all the other yogis, they're without peace of mind. They're agitated.

Kṛṣṇa bhakti, Kṛṣṇa bhaktas are alone self satisfied, self situated. So we have to

practice that path authorised by the acaryas, by Lord Caitanya. He was giving people

Kṛṣṇa prema, what is Kṛṣṇa prema? They would realise Kṛṣṇa. They would

spontaneously love Kṛṣṇa. One stage of Kṛṣṇa of prema is to attain spontaneously the

prema of Kṛṣṇa. But they knew what they wanted. Mother Saci didn't run in there and

say "Give me Mukti”, “Give me Kṛṣṇa prema!" You should know what you want. Not

thinking Ravana and Hanumana is the same. You should know what you want. Even if

somebody comes up with a good truth, "It's all one. It's one one one..." it's not. It's not all

the same. We’re not idiots. We know there's a difference because the sastra tells us

there's a difference. It may not be pleasing to everybody. Lokaranjana, it won't be

Lokaranjana, it won't be gratifying to all the people. But to gratify Lord Caitanya you got

to fry out a few mayavadis. It's a fact of life. Can't satisfy Lord Caitanya and all the

demons at the same time. It never works. So that's why Kṛṣṇa Consciousness has got

that inherent power.

 

 

19930720-SB-06- Rupeshwar Nimai Das started 18 mar 2020 end 15 apr 2020

Thats why Lord Caitanya and all the demons at the same time, it never works so thats

why Kṛṣṇa Consciousness has got that in hand problems to becoming a popular

movement. We cannot become popular by compromising our principles if we

compromise we won’t please Lord Caitanya and we don’t please Lord Caitanya that we

are no longer Kṛṣṇa Consciousness movement. We are no longer the Sankirtan

movement of Lord Caitanya we are no longer able to deliver the goals of Kṛṣṇa

Prema.To represent Lord Caitanya is a essential of one to give the mercy of Lord

Caitanya. That means first foremost and all times we have to satisfy Lord Caitanya’s

requirement. His [ not clear25:47] his orders the only way then people will appreciate is

when they too become the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. In the beginning people didn’t like

Lord Caitanya’s point many people they protest you ruining Hindu dharma making

everybody uniting all the people Bramhanas, sudras, Hindus,non Hindus everyone

together but in the end those who criticise they said actually you save sanatana dharma

you given the greatest gift.They are saying (Bhalo Bhalo) very good very good Hari Bol!!

So here Kapila muni he is not cheating his mother not trying to tell us something that

just pleasing. If you tell people things that are pleasing to them because that easy and

not giving them the real perfection of life we are cheating them. Kapila muni has telling

her right from the beginning no matter what yoga. If you wanna get Bharma sthiti you

 

must do Bhakti to the supreme personality of Godhead, so immediately he establishes

Bhakti is a essential. So Srila Prabhupada also he only give the absolute truth as it is

like it or not, but those who take the absolute truth they always does good to you. Thats

why I was mentioning one time there was a saying in Bengali I forget the verse now

something like namateram haritaki or something I forget now it means may be someone

can remember what say you can even your mother may sometimes tell you something

which is actually out of sentiment and thats not good for you, but Bhakti is like haritaki.

Bhakti is always good for you sometime even the mother might cook something for you

by accident something may fall that food may cause you stomach ache well meaning

but the result was different but if you take the haritaki its one Vedic Ayurvedic herb if

you put that in your stomach it only does good it will never harm you thats the logic.

Bhakti is always good other things are not so defendable so you strict to Bhakti even

though sometimes it seems that we are not pleasing everyone but we know in the long

run whoever we can reach they will get real benefit. What is the use of superficial

pleasing everyone and not helping anyone? We can save even some people that will be

truly beneficial and By Lord Caitanya’s mercy everyone can be reached in due course.

Nitai Gaur Sitanath premanande Hari Hari Bol, Srila Prabhupada ki jay. So Srila

Prabhupada gave us even though just like haritaki, whatever he given us its all good.

Thank you very much Srila Prabhupada ki jay. Any question? (Inaudible devotee

speaking)

rejected? No (inaudible devotee speaking) injected (inaudible devotee speaking ) so we

are reading here in this verses Kapila muni also telling his mother how one by becoming

a attached to the Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes cleanse out the impurities

gradually gets purified and gets situated in Bhakti the Srimad Bhagavatam also explains

how by worshiping Vasudeva

SB 1.2.7

vāsudeve bhagavati

bhakti-yogaḥ prayojitaḥ

janayaty āśu vairāgyaṁ

jñānaṁ ca yad ahaitukam

 

 

One automatically gets knowledge of the Absolute Truth. Vairagya-Detachment from

material life and how step by step one gets purified. One becomes gets more attached

to Kṛṣṇa and thus one gets detached from the material world. Finally the knot of the

False Ego is cut and one is firmly established in pure devotion by hearing the

Bhagavatam. Naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu, nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā-almost all impurities

are washed away.

 

In this way step by step one reaches that pure state. So the practice of Kṛṣṇa

Consciousness by hearing the Srimad Bhagavatam, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa attentively,

following the regulative principles, serving in the association of devotees. This process

is for injecting us with that spiritual essence, is for bringing us up to that pure platform,

whole process is given like that. Everybody wants the instant magic cure.

 

 

When you hear- there was one disciple, the Guru touched the disciple on the head

“HAAAA!!” The disciple fell on the ground and he became unconscious and when he

came back to consciousness- “I got zapped by lightning”. The guru was crying.

 

(Guru Maharaja acting like Guru in the story and in a crying tone speaks the following)

“I do not have any more Shakti. I have lost everything, everything now it’s all with you.

(crying) I am finished. (AWWW crying tone). It’s all gone. Everything is now in you” So

the guru falls out, you know. Guru just puffs, ZAP, BOOM- gives the disciple everything.

Now the guru is wiped out, finished. When one gets such a ZAP, will have it in one shot.

No sadhana, No rounds, No rules and regulations, just BZZZ, ZAP.

 

Everybody going around, they come in. Sometimes stay here, people that have read all

these fictional stories and then they come and "Can you read my mind?" “You know

what I want?” Just waiting for to touch me on the head and give me the Zap. Chant

Hare Kṛṣṇa. That's not what I wanted! I wanted to get the lightning Flash.

The stars in the, you know..BZZ.

 

So then some Yogis-they start a plan. Ok I will give you, I will get you to see the light.

They go on. They press the eyeball. ARRGHH pushing Hard OOHHH- the optic nerve is

ready to bust and they see the light. They push the optic nerve until they see the light.

You see the light?! Yah Yah Yah!!. Alright now you are realised. Now put your money

here. That will be 250. (Devotees laughing).So many quick fixes. Everybody wants this

injection, KSSHHK

 

There is the Ayurvedic system, to take every day the medicine, follow the diet. It’s just

like one person, brother was a doctor. So he went to the brother-I am sick, I got

stomach ache. So he gives some medicine. So what diet should I follow? DIET?! What

time wasting the doctor? When I give you medicine, so you can eat anything. You do

anything. Medicine will do it on its own. Otherwise what kind of doctor am I? I am a

western doctor.

 

So of course now a days even the western doctors tell people if you have diabetes don’t

take sugar. If you have high blood pressure-don’t take a lot of this or lot of that. So

gradually even the western doctors in the west, (this was an Indian western doctor),

even they tell the people to watch their diet, to do exercise. But the Vedic system was

like that-so whole treatment, a whole diet, a whole system. So Sadhana bhakti is like

that.

 

Of course to get that injection, just sometimes Lord Caitanya just by giving his mercy-

SSHOO "HARIBOL!!" (Devotees chant haribol too). He gives some one pure bhakti, all

of a sudden without any qualification. But Lord Caitanya wasn’t bankrupted by that. He

remained full. You hear how Miniketan Ramdas, he walked around with a flute. If he hit

anybody with a flute-they would beg down in ecstasy, crying in love of "KṛṣṇA” “KṛṣṇA”,

“HARIBOL”, “HARIBOL”!. Where is Minaketan Ramdas today? If we could find him

without doubt, hit me with a flute. There was such devotees who could just come, touch

you, smack you or give you Love of Godhead. Srila Prabhupada he had the potency.

 

Just listened to his class. Take some Prasädam from his hand and people felt I want to

give everything to Kṛṣṇa, I want to serve Kṛṣṇa. Once you are in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness-

what else is to do? chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, eat Kṛṣṇa Prasädam, this is the process.

 

 

19930720-SB-08- Rathi Rupini Jhanava DD started 30-mar-2020 end- 24-apr-2020

Once you get everything from Krsna, I  want to serve Krsna. The once you are in Krsna

consciousness what else you do, you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa eat Kṛṣṇa prasadam this is the

process. If you don't have taste well clarify your self, go and practicing, throw away the

dirt. Kapila Dev said you clear all the dirt, all false identification, this is me, this is my

body and this body think it's my mind, clear all miss conception be found see in your

spiritual identity, jivera swarup hoy nityera Krsna das. You are the eternal servitors of

Krsna and then you get more and more taste for Krsna consciousness. Of course you

have to avoid the offences, avoid the watering the weeds, this is the process, this is

automatically injecting, this is the  saver injection is like checking the weeds and

sometimes some are injected also,  you see somebody are starting jumping up

.uuuuhhhhh are very excited and it happens sometimes they are suddenly awakens.

Prabhupada says sometimes IT becomes  so excited  it because Narada Muni  or some

other liberated soul has entered in to the temple watching a devotees but they are

invisible because they put some  extra ecstacy.  One time Srila Prabhupada was seeing

how Lord Chaitnya lord Nityananda they dancing during the Ratha yatra  amongst all

the devotees. Some time we get mercy we don't know where and how. That is called

Krupasthiti when you get the mercy without any expectations just it comes. So We

suppose not to do anything just so we suppose to do sadhana, do our practice regular

devotional service. And we hope up on hope that special mercy just come out of the

blue, even if that takes time to get by doing a sadhana we get steady mercy. That is

also a causeless mercy of the Lord. With that mercy we can do the devotional service.

There is no doubt ( devotees are speaking ) Bhakti  is karama dhayna, yoga. We do not

have desire for  sense gratification, liberation or mystic powers. We should learn simple

to pleased Krsna. We should learn to have love of Krsna,that is true Bhakti. That similar

this grass and fear, weeds rain watering the balls but weeds go in the grass...if you don't

have become a grass and become a weeds somehow the weeds have got deliveries

and utilize whatever the water they get the real devotional creeper the system is to

weed. Weeding means taking out roots not cutting out the tops. We hires the farmers

here they spend the hours because they are weeding was not easier shovel, to reinstall

that they cut the grass above the ground and it comes again. You have to go in to be

sure indeed ground and the cut the roots, take it out with the roots, the weed has to

come out, So Lord Caitanya said you have cut the weed out from the root. It is the

streaming the raise of them weeds one take it out the root. What do you want think here

we have Harvindra prahu is also an expert someone in a weeding process. (Devotee

speak ). Once weed come out eradicate them. If we put it of the weader then Harvindra

prabhu is advising us taking out the big weed is much more efforts,

19930720-SB-09- P. V. Ramprasad started- 2-may-2020 end- 9-may-2020

Taking out the big weeds is much more effort. Weeds grow not arithmetically but they

grow geometrically and then from one weed they put out some time root feeder, root

 

things and then another weed starts coming out and presenting a whole weed family.

Considering that originally there was weed.

You have a question. Panchananda Prabhu. (Question not audible)

Worshiping the different forms of Vishnu – Narasimha, or Narayan, or Ram different

forms of Kṛṣṇa this shouldn’t be confused with worshipping some of the Devas or Devis

because Sri Kṛṣṇa appears in various forms so worshiping the different forms of Kṛṣṇa

is still worshipping the same Supreme Personality of Godhead only in a different aspect.

Some aspects of Kṛṣṇa represents each of the different natures. Lord Caitanya wanted

to bring people to the understanding that they all are coming from Kṛṣṇa therefore

worshiping Kṛṣṇa united all of the different aspects of Vishnu worship. But any case it is

accepted that any form of Vishnu worship is also Bhakti. We

shouldn’t confuse that with worshiping Shiva, or Murugan or Ganesh or Durga or Kaali

or Seetala so many other Shani so many other forms of worship of different Sura and

Devas. This is akin to someone calling the Police Chief as the Prime Minister.

Sometimes the King is on his throne, sometimes he is in his private quarters,

sometimes he is playing Polo. If he is a King of England or Prince of Wales he plays

Polo on a horse. So at different times they are doing different things but still they are the

same Prince or same King. So similarly Kṛṣṇa on different Avatars he appears but he

the same Vishnu or same Kṛṣṇa. So that’s why we eat the prasadam from all the Vishnu

temples in India with great respect to Lord Caitanya. We go to other temples but we

respect them as devotees, as Vaishnava’s or Vaisnavees not as independent. Bhakthi

means to Vishnu. Lord Caitanya said he has a special teaching that’s a general

teaching. A special teaching is said the original Vishnu is Kṛṣṇa. He taught us study how

they are doing things at Tirupati, Vishnu temple we take Kṛṣṇa Parasad Tirupati

Parasad. We know that Kṛṣṇa Prasad at Navadweep Dham is actually something

special in the world today, because of the mercy of Lord Caitanya. That doesn’t mean

that other places are not holy. The Navadweep Dham is like holiest of the holy, the most

merciful of the merciful. But everything else that’s it is not like one is good or one is

bad, like in a material you have differentiation black and white, good and bad, higher

lower.

Here everything is absolute it is all transcendental but still there is some vaisistha there

is some variegatedness and there is some differentiation but it is on a higher platform

not that one is good and one is bad, it is all good. But amongst the good it is better and

best. Navadweep dham is the best, Dwarka is the best, Mathura is better but Brindavan

is the best. Even in Brindavan dham you have Radha Kund and Govardhan Dham.

These are type of higher transcendental variegatedness and not to be confused with

material good and bad.

Hare Kṛṣṇa
