0:09to yourself, not only see the lila, but you enter in your spiritual form into the lila, and participate, these are the stages, so that is the project of japa, we're not sitting here losing time, we want to go somewhere, that is through these stages, it's possible, actually, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur said, eka-kṣama nāhi pāi, bala hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana, O Vaishnava Thakur, by my own strength I cannot do this nāma-saṅkīrtana, but when we have a śuddha-rasika Vaishnava-saṅga, then what happens, some śakti comes, on the first day we spoke about this, knowingly or unknowingly, even unknowingly, but we come under the control of the kriyā-śakti, mukhya-pravṛtti, and some power comes, and if by hearing we try to practice what we have heard,
1:05Even though we come out of association for some time, but that śakti will continue working in our life. But if we have some disrespect, or if we have some neglect, then, shh, and then, bona musik, papa. I want to do something good because you are here. I'm always sending her your classes online and telling her, keep cutting your premryojan.
1:31I thought originally, you got to come to the sangha. She went to Raghunath's house when guru there was She started the whole thing Well, I tell everybody you just gotta listen to your lecture and then they'll be convinced Because, you know, I distributed many books for many years And Shyamarani used to tell me, what is your five minutes preaching gonna do if you don't give them a book?
2:00And so now I'm seeing the books they manifest There's some nice books of them And then to see you, you know, how you, with the sangha, with the association and, you know, today, Vishwan and I, we were, Vishwan and I, we were saying, you know, how, to you, the Sanskrit is like, you, you just speaking in Sanskrit.
2:29And, you know, it is so enlivening to see someone who dedicates their lives, like you say, if you sit and chant, you're not wasting your time, but also when you sit and you study, you are showing us the way to study. Tath śravaṇam, supaṭhan, vicāraṇā, taṭhopaktyā, vicāraṇā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, he said, first listen, then study, because you hear, like yesterday, he spoke so many things about Nāma, all these different, svataḥ-siddha, svaprakāśa, vikalpa-rahita, all of these things, after hearing, then go and read carefully, where in scripture this has been described, so to fix it, and then, tath śravaṇam, supaṭhan, supaṭhan is very beautiful, yeah, su means
3:19means beautiful, paṭhan means reading, so don't only read, su-paṭhan, if you listen first and then you read, your reading is beautiful, if you read in an independent way, you read, you get some curiosity about the subject, but it won't be clear, so first listen, then what you have heard go, oh and see where it is written and read, and then it will become more firmly established in the heart, a dṛḍhatā, tat śravaṇam, supaṭhan, vicāraṇā, vicāraṇā means, Now, meditate on it, deliberate upon it, digest it, assimilate it, these are the stages.
4:05For three classes now, I've been torching you with very hard speed. Today, that's enough. Today, only rasa. Rasa-kathā. Only nectar. The tattva is also nectar of a type. Without it, we don't have the appetite for the rasa-kathā. And we cannot digest the rasa-kathā even. So, when you eat a meal, first you have the śukta, that means the bitter melon, karela, or some neem leaves, you know, that's the first thing you take, why, because the bitter things increase your digestion, so first we have to hear deep tattva-siddhānta philosophy, and it will make our digestion strong, and then when we hear the sweet pastimes of Radha and Krishna, oh, then it's very, very relishable, very, very tasty. If you only take sweets, all the time, without proper Siddhānta, then you'll become diabetic.
5:10It can finish you, kill you. That's an honest versadhyo? Yes, yes.
5:17And that is what they will say, that if you eat Nismah, Rosh Hashanah, even if you die, that's okay too.
5:26That's okay.
5:29If you die, that's okay.
5:33So, I am very grateful to you, that you come and give me your association. Thank you. And together, together we follow the teaching of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
5:55Always, always, Chaitanya, always absorbed, with great honor and respect for everyone.
6:05also, in all the groups of devotees, there's good and bad, you know, try to understand, we don't criticize anyone, in ISKCON, there's good and bad, in our Gaudiya Mats, there's good and bad, in our Chaitanya Academy, there's good and bad, in the Babaji's, in Radha Kund, there's also good and bad, don't, everyone, we have to relate to them, you know, according to their degree of pure devotion to Krishna, how much someone loves Krishna, we love them that much, okay, we never think what Sangada where they are in, where they are from, their sampradaya, or anything. So, how a person has sevā-vṛtti, that sevā-vṛtti means the mood of service, that much service to Krishna, that much we love them. So, all our relationships are based on our connection to Krishna, our relationships with others, based on connection with Krishna.
7:03Which is, I try to, I told Vishwarupa on Prabhupada's appearance day, I go to ISKCON because I have a relationship with those deities which she's spent for so many years, and I give a donation to the deities too, if someone's not using it properly, that's not my business, yes, yes, I tell all devotees, many devotees come to my programs from ISKCON, and I say, you can, please, you can do so ever there, you give all your donations there, I'm only asking for two things, your right ear and your left ear.
7:38I like that. That's it.
7:43Even some of the Pujaris from ISKCON come to you? Oh yeah, one lady said to me, oh I know you go everywhere.
7:52Many, so we love, Prabhupada has made ISKCON, we love Prabhupada and all the devotees are our family. Family of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
8:03Yes, Prabhu. I had a question, so Is it Chintamini, nama-chintamini? Yeah, Harinama-chintamani Harinama-chintamani He talks about how the root of all offenses is inattentiveness But does he mean like everything in this world like all offenses in the world the root of it is inattentiveness because it's interesting because that's he's talking about harinama-chintamini and then the root of all offenses is inattentiveness, which is like, we learn so many different things, like, you know, don't disobey the order of the guru, don't, don't think Krishna's name is imaginary, so many things like this, so, that's right, that's right, so there are 10 offenses, but inattentiveness is the root of all of them, because, also, when we come in Vaishnava Sanga, and we hear the glories of the holy name, then, we should chant with the greatest honor, you know, if there's a room full of people, and, uh,
9:17the president walks in the room. Everyone will look. Any famous person will come, they'll give attention. So Krishna is the most famous person. And now he's here in the forum of the Holy Name. You have to give full attention. If some great person comes and you just ignore them, it becomes, it's a neglect, it's an offense. So after we hear the glories of the Holy Name, if we continue to be inattentive to Krishna's name, then all the other things will come. Because the mind is out of control,
10:26is different from his qualities and everything. The name is one thing and the whole package of Krishna, who he is, is something different. It's a second offense. And then Guru Avagya, we'll disrespect the guru. Then Suti Shasta Nindanam, we disrespect the scripture and so on. So all the offenses, they come from inattentiveness. And the inattentiveness is due to the restless mind. And that's why we were discussing yesterday, diksha is a process of five samskars to make you become free from two two things, bad habits, unmeritorious activities. What was that called, Brahma? Kadarya, shila. And the other thing was vikshipta citta. Vikshipta, your citta, your consciousness is thrown everywhere, distraction, you see? So the five samskars of diksha, how to help us overcome the distracted mind, by which comes inattentiveness, and then all the offenses grow out of that.
11:31So, by diksha, the process of diksha, we overcome this inattentiveness, and then we can chant without, offenselessly, and when we chant offenselessly, then very sweet, beautiful Naam Prabhu on his soft lotus feet comes running into your heart.
11:50Follow up with that, pancha samskaras. When we're chanting our diksha mantras, I've read in a little brief from Hari Bhakti Vilas about how the more we chant the diksha mantras, it's the Gopal mantra specifically, about how it can help us achieve mantra siddhi. Yes. But is that the goal in the Gaudiya Vaishnavas? Do they want mantra siddhi or is that just a side effect?
12:24No, no, we want mantra siddhi. We want mantra siddhi. Yes. The Mantra Siddhi is to become established in Sambandha Gyan, and the Mantra Siddhi means to enter the Mantra Pashnamayi Lila Peet.
12:44Krishna's Lila has two types, Prakat and Aprakat, manifest in this world and that world. In that world, that Lila has two types, two Lila Peets. A Peet, a Lila Peet is like a dimension in which Lila is going on. So, one is called Mantrupasana-mai-lilapit. It's a dimension where Krishna is there with one particular group of associates.
13:12Time is going on forever. And they never leave, in one location, and they never leave that place.
13:26Then, so, each Mantrupasana-mai-lilapit has a mantra connected to it, which gives you access to that lilapit. And so that is what your Gopal Mantra is doing. The Gopal Mantra will allow you to enter into that Mantra Pasnamaya Lilapit. So it has been described in the verse. that is the lila pit for your Gopal mantra, to take you there and then but there are many other lila pits and as you are chanting harinam and as you are uttering verses connected to those lila pits you realize them so each realization is like a flower and when you collected so many flowers and when you collected so many flowers
14:23and your meditation goes deeper, all those flowers will join together and become one garland and then that will be the other lila pit called Swarasiki lila pit, Swarasiki, where Krishna's lila is here and then flowing to another location, another location, another location, in the early morning in Sanket Kunj, then Radha Krishna, she goes back to Yavad and Krishna goes to Nandagam, then he wakes up and he milks the cows and he comes back, he has breakfast, then he goes to Govardhan and then he sneaks away from the boys and goes to Radha Kunj, like this, so that is called the Astakaliya lila, so you cannot go directly to Astakaliya lila, the sahajas they try to do it, they try it, they try it, they try it, many years trying to buy force, impossible, so first you enter the Mantupasnamaya lila pit and realize Mantupasnamaya lilas, and then when our bhakti becomes more mature, they'll join together and then Astakaliya lila will flow by itself without any effort at all, you see, so this is, it's
15:29It's just like, let's say you want to surf on the web, okay, so first you have to log on, otherwise you cannot go, so when Gurudev gave you the Gopal Mantra, then this was the password, how to log on, and when you're there you can go everywhere, but first you have to, yeah, that mantra, mayopasana, leelapit is like the portal, that is the portal through which you will enter into Krishna's eternal pastimes.
16:00One more thing, because that Mantropasana-lila-pitha, at first you cannot see it, you are not feeling it, so Gurudev is so nice, he manifests it alphabetically, and that is the altar, you see, so that you can see it and have some impression what it is. So Radha Krishna are there, surrounded by astasakhis and they are serving. There is a lila-pitha also in Mayapur, Navadvipa, and that is where Mahaprabhu is there, standing amongst the Pancha-tattva. Now because the Vrindavan-lila-pitha is very difficult to enter, it's better to first meditate on the Mayapur-lila-pitha, you see? And so this esoteric mystery, how to enter into Vrindavan-lila has been given to you, but you may not know it. Do you know a meditation on the Mayapur-lila-pitha? No? Okay, then I'll tell you. And it may sound familiar.
17:14On the bank of Jahnava, with Nitai on his right side, Gadadhara on his left, Advaita Acarya is offering prayers and Srivasa Thakura, there, Narahari is fanning with a chamara, other associates are singing. This is the Mayapur-yoga-pitha, and entering into that in your meditation by the Mayapur-yoga-pitha,
18:09What our acharyas have given us? A most profound, mysterious, and esoteric process to enter into Krishna-lila. So we have to do it understanding. What is it? We're participating here. We're participating in the connection. It is the portal to the spiritual world when we come to the arati. Arati. A means come. Rati means love. Arati, love is coming.
18:38They're giving it for free.
18:43А чиллик людей.
18:45Save your request.
18:46Yeah.
18:48Shiladunuda,對不對? CMK. Sraerbarapos. Sraerbarapok. Sraerbarapok. Sraerbarapok. Dream on frame pray five.
18:56So.
18:57Jai.
