0:26My question is, I see that many people are chanting some mantras for approaching Gnam Prabhu. Are there some specific mantras you can be chanting before we start?

0:58So, with the chanting of the holy names, Nam-Namakari-Bahudani-Jasarva-Shaktis, Tatra-Pitani-Amatas-Varni-Nakala, and rules and regulations. Anyone can chant at any time of the day or the night, whether they are pure or impure.

1:28In Haripakti-Valas, some mantras have been given to pray to the Japa Mala itself, before taking the Japa Mala to chant.

1:45And this is also not... it is not insisted upon mandatory, it is optional. It is optional, there is a possibility, but it is not a relibrary. So, before chanting the holy name, if a devotee feels inspired to pray to the Guru, Shisya Rukhna, Chukhina...

2:21To pray to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and also to offer prayers to Naum Prabhu, such as Shikshastakam, or Namastakam, or prayers glorifying the Holy Name from Skandapuram. like madaram madaram etam mangalam mangalanam even when you pray is khandaparab all prayers there is pranam mantra tanam prabhu in the beginning of prayer bhagadamrita silasam ka swami jayati jayati nangananda rupam moraghi so there are many prayers to the holy name and so if a devotee wants he can chant those prayers before chanting and sometimes even while he's chanting he may stop and again pray to the holy name And then continue.

3:32We see that we are chanting after Mangalati.

3:41So you have already prayed to Guru, samsara-davana, lalita-lodka. You have already prayed to Guru, samsara-davana, lalita-lodka. And you have prayed to Mahabhavu, Shri Kushita Jaitanya Prabhupada, and chanted the whole image.

3:58And then you have given jai to the whole Guru Parampara. So then if you take your japa mala, there is no fixed rule that you have to pray to all of them again, because you have just done it. Yes. There are no rules to repeat any other prayers. Especially those who are remembering Gāyātri mantras.

4:20So they remember their Guru Mantra, Guru Gāyātri, and to Mahāpābhu and Radhika everyone, and that they'll chant Harina. So there's no need to create artificial hierarchy. Before you do this, you have to do that. But before doing that, don't forget to do this. But before doing that, you have to do that. This thing.

4:50You've signed so many prayers and everything during Mangala Archi. And remember, Gash, you now can hear it now.

4:55In дополнительной иерархии, чтобы повторять Святое Имя, надо повторить это, потом это, потом это. Вы уже всё это сделали на Mangala Archi.

5:03But still, it is my personal preference that I like to recite Namastaka.

5:08But my personal desire to repeat it before chanting джабху, because it is directly to Нам Прабху Himself.

5:22This directly prays, revealing the glories of Нам Таттва. These certain prayers reveal the glory of Нам Таттва.

5:34So in spiritual life some things are compulsory, but also there are some things which are optional. In spiritual life there is something that is proposed, something that is necessary, but there are some opportunities that can be performed as options. So then the optional things may be according to the devotees' tastes.

6:02And according to his mood and feeling and inspiration on that day. If everything was just mandatory, then we all have to become like robots. If everything was just mandatory, then we all have to become like robots. Raise your hand if you have a question. I wanted to ask, when I come to a festival or I come to an event like this, I feel very much in surprise and my japa is flowing like an ocean of mercy.

6:41I am feeling so blessed, but when I go home, Facebook japa happens, driving japa happens, or, okay, I will wake up this morning early, I will challenge japa, and I'm falling asleep while I'm chanting.

7:01And at the beginning of practice, I thought, okay, I'm starting, everyone was calming me down, that okay you will come to that but now i'm not feeling okay with that i want to stop being like this dead fish that he's she's swimming when the flood comes and it's moving back when the flood goes away So this is my impression.

7:58And I don't want to be a fish with a fish, which flies with water and flies with water. Please help me.

8:13When a person is practicing bhakti, first they develop faith .

8:24And then they associate with sadhus.

8:30and receive initiation and then after initiation they take up the practices of bhakti that is called the bhajana kriya.

8:44It is not actual bhajana.

8:46дорожка перевода · текст английскийIt is not actual bhajana.

8:47It is only the kriya of bhajana. the activities, because the actual bhajan is the internal realization is taking place by the action of samvit and ladini shakti, samvit gives realization and ladini shakti gives the spiritual joy, taste. It's when the chaladini and Samvit

9:14energy раскрываются внутренне

9:17and they're like a taste. Chaladini gives taste. This taste is... this routine is actually abilas. The service desire is expanding. Chaladini gives taste. And then comes the taste, the desire to serve.

9:40So that is the shalup of bhakti. Bhakti is not an activity that you do. Bhakti is the villas of Swarupa Shakti. It's the play of the internal potency of the Lord.

9:54Bhakti — это Swarupa Vilas, это вечная игра Swarupa Shakti.

10:05It is the play of the internal potency of the Lord.

10:08дорожка перевода · текст английскийIt is the play of the internal potency of the Lord.

10:11So by nature Bhakti is relishable.

10:19There is taste in it. There is taste in it.

10:25But taste and realization, they go together. You cannot taste something that you are not realizing.

10:31And вкус and realization, they are not realizing.

10:35You can not realize that you are not realizing. Bhakti, Parishana Bhavau, Bhrakthiya. Three things come at the same time.

10:47Bakti means your service desire is growing. Bakti means your service desire is growing. Parish Anubhav means Anubhav, realization of Krishna.

11:01And Birakti, detachment from everything else. So these three things come when actual pure bhakti is present.

11:14But you cannot experience this, if your bhakti is mixed. If it's mixed with the gunas.

11:28If it's mixed with some anyabilash, some other designs.

11:35If it's mixed with karma, that means reward seeking. If we want to receive something in return for our vakti, if it's mixed with gyan, here gyan indicates the desire for liberation.

11:59I am suffering so much, Krishna, get me out of this suffering. To deserve the liberation? Yes, I really struggle here, I really struggle here, and I want to be free.

12:12So, bhakti, which is mixed, does not give realization and taste? Yes, bhakti, which is mixed, does not give realization and taste. So, as long as the consciousness is covered by anarthas, And the true Swarupa Bhakti, the real nature of Bhakti does not manifest.

12:39So from Adho Sraddha to Sraddha, Saddha, Sadhusangha, Bhajana, Kriya, Anadhin, Vrti, Nishtha. From Sraddha to Nishtha is actually the development of faith. From soft faith to Nishtha, firm faith.

12:56And all the steps from Shraddhi to Nishthi are the development of the Tверdho Verity.

13:03It is the Pravesh Dvara, the door to enter into the experience of Bhakti. It is also the Pravesh Dvara, the door to enter into the experience of Bhakti. So the actual experience of Bhakti begins in Ruchi. That is the syrup of Pyo Bhakti because Bhakti is Ruchi, it is tasty, it is relishable.

13:24And the beginning of the bhakti begins with a ruch, because there comes the taste, and we start to feel the taste of bhakti. So, in order to experience this very tasty, relishable bhakti, we have to come to nishtha steadiness. And to feel the taste, we can reach the level of nishtha. So before that, when the anarthas, because anarthas are present, all the way up there is even something in the stage of bhava.

13:55But, when the anarthas are present in the degree to which they are capable of stopping one from being in the stage of ekagrata, one-pointed concentration, that nishta, nishta means ekagrata, one-pointed concentration, there are still some anarthas after that, But before that, when the anarthas are present to the degree to which they prevent you experiencing ekaagrata chitta, one-pointed concentration, then one's practice is called anishtita bhajana kriya, the activities of devotion which are unsteady.

14:38And at this level of Nishthi, there is anarchy, where a person can't be concentrated, he can't be Ekagret. And after Nishthi, there is also anarchy, but he is already one direction.

14:59So, the internal body of the Lord is not only Sangata and Ladini. It is also the Anubhabs of the internal potency. There is also Ghyana, Ichka and Kriya. Kriya means action. Kriya means action.

15:34So when we come into the association of pure devotees and we try to surrender and follow them, even though our consciousness is covered and we cannot experience the taste of Samvita and Ladini clearly. And even when our consciousness is covered, we can't feel the pure energy of God's body. But the Kriya Shakti can take over us.

16:10And that's why it's called Bajana Kriya.

16:15So when we associate with our Guru and pure Vaishnavas, and we try to surrender, When we are in the society of Guru and predate, they are not under control of the free gunas, material property, they are under control of the daily property, Krishna's internal potency. Because these predates are under the energy of God, they are not under the material of God.

16:53And they are fulfilling the mission and desires of the Lord in this world. And they are fulfilling the mission and desires of the Lord in this world. When we surrender to them, some Kriya Shakti comes to us and then we say, ah!

17:10And now we are running around and cleaning and cooking and decorating and preaching and distributing books. And the moment you become proud and think, I am doing all of these things myself, then that potency disappears and then you are... falling asleep and staying awake by doing Facebook Jabba. But as soon as we start to be proud of this, Kriya Shakti leaves and immediately comes the difference.

17:46This is the difference. This is the difference. We should know that we are not Karta, the duo. We should know that we are not Karta, the duo. By ignorance we have Karta Abhiman, the sense that I am the agent, I am in control, So, I am initiating all activities, but just the very opportunity to take a Dajjapa Mala and begin to chant

18:19Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Vahama, Vahala Vahama, Vahama, Vahama.

18:29It is all, only the creepers, it is the noise of Guru and Vaishnam. We have to understand that as we go ambivalence and repeat in other words, this is not our blessings, it is only due to trees and Vaishnam. So if we have the attitude that, Krishna it is your lucky day, today I'm going to jump your game.

18:55It will not be the Holy Name, it will be a material activity, it will be karma. It will be karma, it will be just material activity. But if someone thinks, oh, today is my fortunate day, because the opportunity to receive the Holy Name, that Nam Prabhu, the avatar of the Supreme Lord may descend and dance on my tongue, or then he can actually, he will enter into the experience of bhakti.

19:22If I think that today is the best day when I can invite the Holy Name and it will be able to dance on my tongue, by His grace. So one should be in Anvogartya under the guidance of pure rationality. So you should always be underwalled with the Nugati. The Siddhi Vaktsinab Takur said, Vaktsinab Takur said, O Vaktsinab Takur, Eka Kiyamah by myself, Nahipaival, I don't have the strength for Harinam Sankirtan.

20:06He says, I have no power to repeat it. Chit Baal, the spiritual strength comes from our Guru and pure Vaishnavas.

20:18When we surrender with humility, with loyalty, The word Nishtha is fascinating. It means fixed, means your mind is fixed.

20:38But Nishtha also means loyalty, that you are fixed in the mood of service towards your Guru and pure Vaishnava. But this also means the truth to your guru and object. So Nishtha implies steadiness, but also steady loyalty. This also means the stability and the truth. And so, when we are situated in this way, some spiritual power will come to us, and then all the activities of bhakti, first bhajana kriya, The energy comes to actually practice the bhakti, and then when you're practicing steadily, the Anartha is clear, and then after that, the actual experience of Samvita and Ladini begins to appear.

21:31And for me, as soon as we are in this state of fairness and stability, Samvita and Ladini вход in us, and then we begin to perform Vajjana Kriya.

21:41At first, when you are surrendered, then Kriya-Shakti will come, and you engage in the activity, by intense activity, then the Anartha is clear.

21:51Как только входит Kriya-Shakti, когда мы предаемся, мы начинаем действовать, наш Anartha уходит.

21:58And then when Mishtha comes, steadiness, on top of that platform of Mishtha, then the Samvita and Ladini will begin to be reflected in the heart.

22:09И как только мы находимся на уровне Mishthi, Samvita-Hladini начинает отражаться в нашем сердце.

22:17It is not actually the direct appearance of Samvita and Ladini. That is in the stage of Baha'af. But the reflection of Samvita and Ladini caused the heart to open. But it's not Samhita and Samhita, it's their influence. The whole Samhita and Samhita will be on the level of bhakti, bhakti, bhakti, bhakti. But this helps to open the heart.

22:43So this is the Serhya-Karabha Sanhra-Kavitaranum. It is not directly Samhita and Ladini, only like the rays of the moon. Of course, the night-blooming lotus opened. So the rays of Sambit Aladini touched the heart, and the heart begins to open, and there's a great taste in Bakhti. It's only the rays of Sambit Aladini, but they help to heal the heart like a lotus.

23:06And where it is, it will show you. So this is why you sometimes feel inspiration, and sometimes you become like a dead fish.

23:22So two things we have to do.

23:26One, we should adopt the disposition of Sharanagati. The first thing we need to do is to take the path to Sharanagati.

23:54Sharanagati has six limbs. The first one is a promise. The first two are a promise.

24:04I promise what is favorable for bhakti, I'll accept it, and what is unfavorably, I unequivocally reject it. I have the wishvas, the confidence, that Krishna will always protect me. I have full confidence in the way that Krishna will always protect me. And goptitei barna. Barna means to select your guardian.

24:45So we have to have such a disposition. O Krishna, you are my maintainer, you are my guardian.

24:58This is essential. Because if you don't have that trust that Krishna will maintain you, then your mind will become flooded and preoccupied with the existential struggle.

25:22How will I live? What will I eat? Where will I go? What will happen to me when I'm old?

25:34The mind cannot fix on Krishna because the material energy is affecting the mind with the coercion of necessity.

25:49because the material energy will always keep the idea from the material existence. Do you understand? Maya makes the coercion of necessity.

26:11Coercion means you must do this.

26:16Why? Because you have the necessity.

26:23There are necessary things that you need in order to survive, but this influence of Maya in our mind, this is only ignorance, because all of our happiness and distress that we will experience in this life is already fixed.

26:52Because счастье, the reaction of the past life activities,

26:59is already fixed by our previous actions.

27:14We feel that we can not focus on the Krishna, because I have so much needs, so much needs, I don't know if it's a translation.

27:32It's like someone taking a gun to your head. Don't serve Krishna. Do something else. It's like someone who sends a pistol to us and says, don't do this, don't serve Krishna. Where Maya is doing it? In your mind.

27:46No, no, don't serve Krishna. There's no time to serve Krishna,

27:49because you have important necessities you have to do.

27:58But you don't have to do anything. You don't have to do anything.

28:07Like my Paranguru. He was staying in one place, and some god-brothers came, and he had no money to prepare Parshadam for them. He stayed in one place, and when his brothers came, he didn't have any money to cook for him. And he was chanting, hurry now. And just then a bird flew over and dropped the packet right in front of him.

28:36Some cloth. And the bird flew over and dropped the packet right in front of him. Some cloth. And when the cloth hit the ground, it made a ching-ching sound. And when this syrup falls, I looked at it and there were some rupees inside. Then he gave the rupees to a brahmacharya and said, God buy some ingredients, so I can give some to our guests.

28:58Then he gave the rupees to a brahmacharya and said, God buy some ingredients so I can give some to our guests. So my brother used to say that if you do bhajan with nishtha, with steadiness, If you need something, then Krishna will break a hole in your roof and drop it through the hole.

29:25Do you believe it?

29:32If you don't believe it, then your faith is still soft. So from Adosh Radha means soft faith up to Nishtha is the soft faith becoming firm.

29:44дорожка перевода · текст английскийAnd the process, which starts with Adosh Radha means soft faith up to Nishtha is the soft faith becoming firm.

29:48What to speak of devotees even if you are not a devotee?

29:56The happiness and distress in this life is already fixed from the reaction of the karma of the previous life. So what to speak of if you are a devotee?

30:06Даже для них и счастье, и горе уже зафиксировано из-за их предыдущих действий. А что говорить о преднах?

30:16So this is Gophtri Tvaybharana. Krishna, you are my maintainer.

30:21И это называется Gophtri Tvaybharana. Кришна, ты мой, поддерживаешь.

30:28It will free your heart drive from so many files that you don't need.

30:32Это очистит ваш ум от столько много файлов, которые вам не нужны. Nothing is working, because there are so many, it is overloaded, so you can delete all those files and then you have lots of space to remember Кришна.

30:54So all this way, Varanam Tata, Krishna is my maintainer.

31:03Atmanikshepana means to throw yourself at the mercy of Krishna.

31:15Atmanikshepana means to have no interest separate from the interest of the Lord.

31:26O my Lord, everything is yours, even I am not mine, I belong to you.

31:33O Господь, всё принадлежит Тебе, даже я сам себе не принадлежу, я принадлежу Тебе.

31:37I make shape in a carpane, and carpane means to consider oneself to be wretched and insignificant. Karpaniya.

31:45И следующая ступень. Karpaniya означает «я очень незначительный».

31:49Humility.

31:50Смирение.

31:51So that humility means to not think that you are better than others.

31:58Смирение означает «я думаю о себе как лучше, как другой».

32:03And to understand you are not the doer even.

32:07И я понимаю, что я не действующий.

32:09Even the ability of five senses to see anything, this power is coming from Paramatva. Without the help of God, you cannot do anything at all.

32:18Даже мои чувства, они находятся под влиянием Paramatva, и они делают не действующие. Са ваше чая хамбрик и сани вистох ма такшмите ганам апванамцам. Кришна говорит, «I am in the heart of everyone, and I give knowledge, remembrance, and forgetfulness». Кришна говорит, Богообити, «Я нахожу в сердце каждого живого существа и даю знания запеянное».

32:38What knowledge is that? What knowledge is that? Is it knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita?

32:45дорожка перевода · текст английскийIs it knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita?

32:47Is it knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita? No, it's all knowledge. No, it's all knowledge. Including you have Panch Gyanendriya. Five knowledge acquiring senses. This knowledge also includes the knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita. So don't think about it only in terms of knowledge in a conventional way. It means even the power to see, the power to hear, the power to taste or smell, everything.

33:12Only the presence of the Lord in the heart connects the soul with the physical body in such a way that he can experience anything. And this knowledge is that only in connection with God, and when God is connected with all our emotions, then we can see, listen, listen. We are totally and absolutely dependent on Krishna in all ways and every moment.

33:41Where is the question of pride? Where is the question of pride? So I am saying, how to solve the problem that you are raising, two things. Number one, we have to adopt the mood of Sharanagati Surimpa. I answer your question, there are two ways. The first one is to take the path of Sharanagati and the second one is Sadhu Sangha.

34:08Because without association with pure devotees, where will the power to do bhajan come from? Where will the power to do bhajan come from? Bhajan urjita satyana sangha patin. Every morning we sing to Prabhupada. That he is the Sangha Bhatti. He is the chairperson of the association of persons who are Bhadja-Durjta empowered to do Bhatti.

34:36Every morning we pray about Bhadja that he is the member of the people who do Bhadja. Bhadja means shakti. So to do Bhadja we need to be empowered and it comes from Sangha-Sangha association. We must be full of power and power, especially for those in the Raghamarka following Raghamugha Bhakti. They will have to hear again and again, especially for those who are on the path of Raghamugha Bhakti, they will have to hear again and again, the beautiful pastimes of Gauranga Mahaprabhu and Raghamakushna.

35:21And by this they will receive the Bishesh-Samskara, intense impressions in the heart. And by this they will receive the Bishesh-Samskara, intense impressions in the heart. You know what it means, but you have to say what it means in Russian. It is a desire to serve. So, when the deep impressions of the beauty of Krishna's nam, ruh, gun, parka, lila, his name for God is pastimes and the wounds of the residence of Raj, when those impressions are accumulating in the heart, then one becomes inclined to the path of Raga Nuga Bhakti.

36:06And when all these letters of the name, the quality, the form, the camera and the wheel are revealed in the heart, then one becomes inclined towards Ranganuga-pravity, and then one becomes inclined towards Ranganuga-pravity, it's called pravriti, it's called pravriti, it's called pravriti, it's called pravriti, so that Ranganuga pravriti cannot come from anywhere, It only develops in the association of Brajrasik Vaishnavas.

37:07So as much as possible, on your side try to surrender, and in addition to that, seek out the association of Brajrasik Vaishnavas. And for you, for us, for us, we need to get rid of Sharanagati and seek the society of such a Vajjnava, Rajya Vajjana, Asika Vajjnava. You should come to the stage where you think that Sadhu Sangha is like oxygen. If I don't have Sadhu Sangha, I will die.

37:38You should have to understand that Sadhu Sangha is like water. If I don't get water, I will die. If you are not in that stage yet, when you are Prakrita Bhakta materialistic devotee, then you call it Prakrita Bhakta materialistic devotee.

37:54Конечно, Neophyte.

37:59Because the Neophyte is defined by Krishna. Archaam evahareye pujum yasadeyeate natad bhakteshu chanyeshu sa bhaktaprakritasmitar The prakritabhakta, the neophyte, the virtue is still on the material platform

38:24Начинающий предный neophyte, он еще находится на материальной осмарке

38:35Sadea means he has faith, and he engages in Pudja.

38:43He engages in Pudja to whom? He engages in Pudja with faith. to Hari in the form of the deity.

39:04Он задействован в буджи.

39:08Поклонение Господу в какой форме? НАТАТ БАКТЕЙШУ

39:15means in the devotee.

39:17НАТАТ БАКТЕЙШУ

39:19but he does not recognize the presence of Krishna in the pure Vaishnavas.

39:25Но он ещё не понимает присутствие Господа в чистом времени. Он видит Господа только в Божестве,

39:36So his faith is in the deity, this is Krishna.

39:46But he does not worship Krishna, how Krishna is appearing and speaking through the pure devotees. because he does not see how Krishna acts and says through the predators. So, sa-va-kta-prakuta-sveta, that is the new thing. Sisi Raja Bhupanath, we gave you a special year. So, it is important try to be surrendered and try to associate with advanced Vaishnavas as much as possible.

40:14When the anarthas are cleared, then we become very attached to the high-class association and serving them, associating and hearing from them all the time. So, when we practice the process of preaching, all of our Anathya are left, and then we have a great relationship to the Kretna. So, is it? Satam prasangan mamabirya sambedo bhavanti ritkana rasaya nakata tadyoshna asa pavarga bhagpani saddha rakti bhakti pinukarashiti.

40:48This verse is describing Raga Nuga bhakti.

40:54Sattam means the pure devotees in Raghamag, not ready, but their association is not Sangha, it is Prasangha, Procrestalupain, the most excellent association. It's not just a person, it's not just a person, it's a person, it's in the highest form of a person. Mabha virya sangvedo, Krishna said, when they speak, then their sound vibration is full of virya, that means samvita hladini.

41:25When they say, Christ has to explain, and through their speech, samvita hladini is revealed. Bhavanti Ritkhana Rasayana Kata. And that discussion of the glories of Krishna, it is a Rasayana full of taste. And it gives joy to the ear and to the heart.

41:51дорожка перевода · текст английскийThey give joy to the ear and to the heart.

41:54So the Surya Vishnathri Thakur explains the meaning is this. If one associates with the devotees in Vaidhi Bhakti, it will not be Prasanga, it will just be Sangha.

42:05Shalva Vishnath Chakravati такой объясняет, если предная общается на уровне Vaidhi Bhakti, это не будет Prasanga.

42:14And it will not be rasayan, it will not be full of taste, it will create bhajana kriya, it will create bhajana kriya, but it will not give ruchi, but it will not give ruchi, but it will not give ruchi.

42:49Nекоторые предные практикуют только одну Ангу.

42:58Некоторые предные практикуют несколько Анг предного служения.

43:13Но независимо, какую Ангу предного служения они практикуют, If he достигает ниши, то волны, премы проявляются.

43:25Наша цель очень высокая, рада-даси. Но мы также должны быть сконцентрированы на нашей промежуточной цели.

43:50Surrendering and associating with you, such as others.

44:04Those activities before nishta, as I said, it is not actually shuddha bhakti, but it is the doorway, it is the process by which one comes to the doorway of pure bhakti and then he can enter. As we already said, these stages, they are only available to enter the door of the Bhagavad Gita.

44:25Go pray, man!
