https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo Full Text 1  As you sow that shall you also reap, sometimes it is not obvious to us because we look at only one life and that's why you become confused but then one lifetime span is hardly anything to look at, that doesn't explain too much,  it's only when you extend it beyond that you understand, it seems to make sense and while we are in this world of maya, the law of karma applies to us, so what is this law of karma and how can we go beyond it ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=6  2  So all of us have a stockpile of karmas from past lives, this is called the sanchit (accumulated) karmas, now God's system of justice is whatever you did you have to bear the consequence and while bearing the consequence we'll be doing more karmas,  then you bear the consequence of that and while bearing that you will do more karmas, you bear the consequences of that as well, now since we have had infinite lives, our stockpile is infinite, so to burn them all, we'll take infinite lives and while burning them, we'll keep on doing more karmas, so what is the end of this ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=78  3  There is one recourse and that is the law of grace, just like even in the world if the judge decides that for this murder case, the death sentence has been given, the case then goes up to the high court and finally the Supreme Court and if the Supreme Court also decides it's a death sentence,  now what to do you've gone to the highest authority, so I'm not familiar with US law but Indian law states that even after that an appeal can be made to the President for mercy and if the president decides by mercy, he can repeal that punishment of the death sentence, so likewise I believe it's the same in USA as well,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=131  4  so likewise, God says "As long as you are not surrendered to Me, the law of karma applies but when you do surrender, My grace will intervene, that grace will burn up your sins of endless lifetimes, they will all be burnt and gotten rid of. So the Bhagavat Gita explains in the 18th chapter 66th verse, Arjun, give up all varieties of religiosity and just surrender to God and then by His grace,  all your sanchit karmas will be burnt asunder, so what we need to do then is to surrender to God, to conquer over the material energy, to conquer over this mind of ours, that will attract divine grace, this leads to the question what is surrender ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=201  5  Now we have all heard that we should surrender but what does surrender mean ? there is one external surrender and one real surrender, what is external surrender ? you put a sticker in your shop “Shree Krishna sharnam mamah”, I have surrendered to God, when the Yamdoots come, I'll show them this sticker.  Some people say, you know, you do whatever you like during the day except when you are about to sleep you say “Ramaarppanamasthu” and go to sleep, you're surrendered, “sarvam , "Krishnaarppanamasthu", you are surrendered,  this is jokery, surrender is not an external act, it's not that by putting on a certain tilak that you are surrendered or going to a certain holy place, you are surrendered or saying a certain mantra you are surrendered, surrender is a state of our consciousness and it has different aspects, facets to it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=301  6  So this concept of surrender is very important for us all to understand. The scriptures explain that just try and fulfill this six facets (one part or particular aspect of something) of it “Verse” This verse from the “Bhakti Rasamrit Sindhu” is also in the “Vayu puran” is also in the “Ahir Budhnya Samhita”,  three scriptures have got exactly the same verse and they are saying that six points need to be fulfilled for surrender and if you say, you know, if I fulfill five points, then will I get 5/6th of the divine grace ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=386  7  God says, no, it doesn't work like that, if the whole machine is all right, an airbus and one wire has come off, the machine is grounded the mechanic comes, repairs it. you say "okay, so many hours, such an expensive machine and one wire had stopped it from functioning ?  So likewise this surrender also God says "mām ekam sharaņam vraja” your surrender must fulfill all these points  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=447  Burn Lifetimes of Karma Instantly — The Secret Krishna Reveals in Bhagavad Gita https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo

Transcript 0:06 As you sow that shall you also 0:09 reap, sometimes it is not obvious to us 0:14 because we look at only one 0:17 life and that's why you become confused 0:29 but then one lifetime span is hardly 0:33 anything to look 0:34 at, that doesn't explain too much, it's 0:37 only when you extend it beyond that you 0:40 understand, it seems to make 0:50 sense and while we are in this world of 0:54 maya, the law of karma applies to 0:59 us, so what is this law of karma and how 1:03 can we go beyond it ? 1:18 So all of us have a stockpile of karmas 1:22 from past lives, this is called the 1:25 sanchit 1:27 karmas, now God's system of justice is 1:30 whatever you did you have to bear the 1:33 consequence 1:36 and while bearing the consequence we'll 1:39 be doing more karmas, then you bear the 1:41 consequence of that and while bearing 1:44 that you will do more karmas, you bear 1:46 the consequences of that as well, now 1:49 since we have had infinite 1:53 lives, our stockpile is 1:56 infinite, so to burn them all, we'll take 2:01 infinite 2:03 lives and while burning them, we'll keep 2:05 on doing more 2:07 karmas, so what is the end of 2:11 this ? There is one recourse and that is 2:16 the law of grace, 2:21 just like even in the 2:25 world if the judge 2:29 decides that for this murder 2:33 case, the death sentence has been 2:38 given, the case then goes up to the high 2:41 court and finally the Supreme 2:43 Court and if the Supreme Court also 2:46 decides it's a death 2:50 sentence, now what to do you've gone to 2:53 the highest authority, so I'm not 2:55 familiar with US law but Indian law 2:58 states that even after that an appeal 3:02 can be made to the 3:04 President for 3:06 mercy and if the president decides by 3:11 mercy, he can repeal 3:14 that punishment of the death 3:18 sentence, so likewise I believe it's the 3:21 same in USA as well, so likewise, God says 3:25 "As long as you are not surrendered to 3:28 Me, the law of karma 3:32 applies but when you do 3:36 surrender, My grace will 3:41 intervene, that grace will burn up your 3:46 sins of endless lifetimes, 3:51 they will all be burnt and gotten rid of. 3:56 So the Bhagavat Gita explains in the 18th 4:00 chapter 66th verse, 4:17 Arjun, give up all varieties of 4:20 religiosity and just surrender to God 4:24 and then by His grace, all your sanchit 4:28 karmas will be burnt asunder, 4:33 so what we need to do then is to 4:37 surrender to 4:39 God, to conquer over the material energy, 4:44 to conquer over this mind of 4:48 ours, that will attract divine 4:53 grace, this leads to the 4:57 question what is 5:01 surrender ? Now we have all heard that we 5:04 should 5:05 surrender but what does surrender 5:10 mean ? there is one external 5:14 surrender and one real 5:17 surrender, what is external 5:20 surrender ? you put a sticker in your shop 5:23 “Shree Krishna 5:24 sharnam mamah”, I have surrendered to 5:27 God, when the Yamdoots come, I'll show them 5:30 this sticker. 5:32 Some people say, you know, you do whatever 5:35 you like during the day except when you 5:38 are about to sleep you say “Ramaarppanamasthu”  and go 5:41 to sleep, you're 5:43 surrendered, “sarvam , "Krishnaarppanamasthu", you are 5:48 surrendered, this is 5:51 jokery, surrender is not an external 5:57 act, it's not that by putting on a 6:00 certain tilak that you are surrendered or going 6:03 to a certain holy place, you are 6:06 surrendered or saying a certain mantra 6:09 you are 6:12 surrendered, surrender is a state of our 6:18 consciousness and it has different 6:22 aspects, facets to it. 6:26 So this concept of surrender is very 6:30 important for us all to 6:34 understand. The scriptures explain that 6:38 just try and fulfill this six facets of 6:41 it “Verse”  6:59 This verse from the “Bhakti Rasamrit 7:02 Sindhu” is also in the “Vayu puran” is 7:05 also in the “Ahir Budhnya Samhita”, three 7:08 scriptures have got exactly the same 7:11 verse and they are saying that six 7:15 points need to be fulfilled for 7:19 surrender and if you say, you know, if I 7:21 fulfill five 7:23 points, then will I get 5/6th of the 7:26 divine 7:27 grace ? God says, no, it doesn't work like 7:31 that, if the whole machine is all right 7:36 an airbus and one wire has come 7:40 off, the machine is 7:42 grounded the mechanic comes, repairs it. 7:45 you say "okay, so many hours, such 7:50 an expensive machine and one wire had 7:54 stopped it from functioning ? 7:57 So 7:58 likewise this surrender also God says 8:05 "mām ekam sharaņam vraja” your surrender must fulfill all 8:10 these points

God Is Hungry For Love | Does God Eat the Food Offered ? by Swami Mukundanand

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4

Full Text: https://krishnabff.blogspot.com/2023/03/god-is-hungry-for-love-does-god-eat.html 1  Do you worship Thakurji at home? "Yes, Swamiji." So you must be offering bhog. "Yes, I do." How do you offer bhog? "Swamiji, it is so simple. I take one thali (plate), I put all the food in it and I put the plate on the altar and then I ring a bell. Close the eyes." Then? "Open the eyes." Then? "I take away the plate, and start eating."  But tell me, when you close the eyes and then you open the eyes, did you see how many rotis did God eat today? Which subji got minused from the plate? Which daal did he select more today? Did he eat the sweet or not? Did you see all this? " No, Swamiji." Why not?! "God doesn't eat." if God doesn't eat, then why are you offering it? If it is your decision that God is not going to eat then why are you offering?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=6  2  You are very correct in saying, God does not need to eat. The Vedas define Him, Sanskrit verse “God neither feels thirst nor feels hunger nor does He become old nor does He become sick”. This is the Vedic definition of God.  However, when it comes to the love of the devotee, the bhav of the devotee, then God does become hungry. Then you go and see in Vrindavan. Shri Krishna's going Himself to the houses of the gopis and stealing the butter, how hungry He has become ! He is eating the half-eaten berries of Shabri, that is His hunger. He went Himself to the house of Vidurani.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=72  3  You may have heard of that episode from the Mahabharat. When the battle of Mahabharata was becoming imminent, Lord Krishna went to try and forge a treaty. And he went to the assembly of the Kauravas and said, "Duryodhan, the Pandavas are your brothers." Duryodhan said, "absolutely".  They have the right to live? "Absolutely." In order to live, they need some land because they are warriors? Duryodhan said, "absolutely". Lord Krishna said in that case let them have five small villages. They will be contented, and we will avert this war. Duryodhan said, "absolutely not." (Sanskrit verse)  "Oh Keshav, the amount of land on the tip of a needle, even that much I will not give without war." So Shri Krishna realized, it's futile to explain to him. As a last recourse, He showed Duryodhan His Virat roop, His cosmic Universal form, the one that He will subsequently show Arjun on the battleground of Kuruksetra during the dialogue of Bhagavad-Gita.  He showed that same form to the evil Duryodhan. But Duryodhan was still not impressed. Some people say, "Chamatkar ko Namaskar." But Duryodhan did not do any such Namaskar. He said, who's this joker and what is He doing? Tie Him up in a rope and throw Him in the cellar. Dhritarashtra had to intervene.  Dhritarashtra said, "look Duryodhan, enough is enough. Don't mess with Keshav or you will have to pay for it. Duryodhan came to his senses. He said, "all right, all right Shri Krishna. Forget all this discussion. Let's have a meal. I have got 'chapan Vyanjan' ready (56 kinds of food items)."  Lord Krishna answered very aptly. He said, Sanskrit verse "Look Duryodhan, a person eats for one of two reasons. Either he eats because he is hungry or he eats because it is offered with love." I have to eat many times because of this. I have filled my stomach.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=138  4  "Swamiji, I've got rasgulla with so much love, please eat." Ok ok. "I've got gulab jamun with so much love." Ok ok. So Shri Krishna says, "Look Duryodhan if it is offered with love we eat it or if we are hungry we eat."  In this case neither am I hungry nor do you have any love. Besides I have an invitation from Vidur's house. Now Vidur was sitting in the assembly when his name got announced. He was no longer minister. He had been taken out of that post. He was sitting at the back. He got up, what ! Krishna is going to come to my house and I have got no arrangements for Him? He ran to the market to see what he can get.  In the meantime, Krishna had already reached his house and He started banging on the door Darwaja Kholo (open the door). Vidurani, Vidur's wife was bathing when Krishna started banging. Vidurani said, "who's there?"  Kaki, I am very hungry. Please open. Vidurani realized that God has come to my door and God is hungry. Huh! This is my chance to serve Him. How did God become hungry? Because for many many years Vidurani used to meditate. If Krishna comes to my house I will make Him sit here. No no no. This is not good enough. I'll make Him sit here. No no. I will feed Him this. No, I will feed Him that.  She used to meditate in her mind and Krishna, sitting in everybody's hearts, knows everybody's thoughts. He knew all the devotion that Vidurani had done. So without being asked, he landed up. Now Vidurani lost her senses. "My Lord has come!" She ran out.  She was an old lady. She didn't even realize, she's not wearing clothes. She opened the door. Krishna came to know, kaki has lost her consciousness. He took His Pitamber and put it on her. He said, will you not call me inside? Vidurani said, come. Now she made Him sit. What to offer Him? She had a few options, but she was not able to think because she was overwhelmed in loving devotion. The nearest were the bananas. She took those and in her absorption, she's dropping the fruit and the banana peels she's putting it in Krishna's mouth.  Krishna is eating that banana peel, enjoying, wow I've never tasted anything like this. You will say you've never tasted anything like this, like banana peels?! I heard your Golok, Divine Abode, has got so many tasty things.  No no no I am tasting the love of the devotee. Gods says “Hindi verse” God was relishing the bhav, with which Vidurani was offering those banana peels.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=327  5  In the meantime Vidurji came. He had come from the market. "Listen, what happened today." Krishna offered so much respect in front of everybody. He announced my name. He is going to come. Let us prepare.  And then he looked inside, Vidurani was sitting with Krishna, putting banana peels in His mouth. Vidurji really lost his temper. What, God has come to our house this is how you treat Him? So he brought the halwa poori etc., which he had purchased."  Krishna, please forgive me." "Take this. She doesn't think properly." Krishna ate the halwa poori. But He said, Vidurji don't mind. The sweetness in those banana peels is not in this halwa poori.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=644  6  God relishes the love of the giver, not the gift of the lover. So when you offer bhog to the lord, make the sentiment that he is going to eat it. After offering, when you open your eyes, at least think for a moment, even today He did not come to eat प्रत्यक्ष, साक्षात !  He came for so many, for Dhanna jhat and for Sadna Kasai etc. That means I don't have any devotion. Thinking like that if we feel a little remorse, we will get a few numbers. But we decide in the beginning itself that He cannot come. Then, where is that faith?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=707

to the love of the devotee, the bhav of the devotee, then God does become hungry.

1:58

Then you go and see in Vrindavan. Shri Krishna's going Himself to the houses of

2:05

the gopis and stealing the butter, how hungry He has become !

2:10

He is eating the half-eaten berries of Shabri, that is His hunger. He went

2:18

Himself to the house of Vidurani. You may have heard of that episode from the

2:26

Mahabharat. When the battle of Mahabharata was becoming imminent, Lord Krishna

2:33

went to try and forge a treaty. And he went to the assembly of the

2:40

Kauravas and said, "Duryodhan, the Pandavas are your brothers."

2:50

Duryodhan said, "absolutely". They have the right to live? "Absolutely." In order to

3:37

So Shri Krishna realized, it's futile to explain to him. As a last

3:47

3:55

one that He will subsequently show Arjun on the battleground of Kuruksetra during

4:01

the dialogue of Bhagavad-Gita. he showed that same form to the evil Duryodhan.

4:08

But Duryodhan was still not impressed. Some people say, "Chamatkar ko Namaskar."

4:15

But Duryodhan did not do any such Namaskar. He said, who's the Joker and

4:19

what is he doing? Tie Him up in a rope and throw Him in the cellar.

4:24

Dhritarashtra had to intervene. Dhritarashtra said, "look Duryodhan, enough

4:31

is enough. Don't mess with Keshav or you will have to pay for it. Duryodhan

4:37

came to his senses. He said, "all right, all right Shri Krishna. Forget all this

4:41

discussion. Let's have a meal. I have got 'chapan Vyanjan' ready (56 kinds of food items)."

4:48

Lord Krishna answered very aptly. He said,

4:58

Sanskrit verse

5:06

"Look Duryodhan, a person eats for one of two reasons. Either he eats because he is

5:15

hungry or he eats because it is offered with love."

5:21

I have to eat many times because of this. I have filled my stomach.

5:27

"Swamiji, I've got rasgulla with so much love, please eat." Ok ok.

5:32

"I've got gulab jamun with so much love." Ok ok. So Shri Krishna says,

5:38

"Look Duryodhan if it is offered with love we eat it or if we are hungry we eat."

5:44

In this case neither am I hungry nor do you have any love. Besides I have an

5:51

invitation from Vidur's house. Now Vidur was sitting in the assembly when his name

5:58

got announced. He was no longer minister. He had been taken out of that

6:03

post. He was sitting at the back. He got up, what ! Krishna is going to come to my

6:17

can get. In the meantime, Krishna had already

6:21

reached his house and He started banging on the door

6:26

Darwaja Kholo (open the door). Vidurani, Vidur's wife was bathing when Krishna started banging.

6:34

Vidurani said, "who's there?" Kaki, I am very hungry. Please open.

6:42

Vidurani realized that God has come to my door and God is hungry. Huh! This is my chance to serve Him.

6:51

How did God become hungry? Because for many many years

7:01

Vidurani used to meditate. If Krishna comes to my house I will make Him sit here. No

7:09

no no. This is not good enough. I'll make Him sit here. No no no no. I will feed Him

7:14

this. No, I will feed Him that. She used to meditate in her mind and Krishna, sitting

7:23

in everybody's hearts, knows everybody's thoughts. He knew all the devotion that

7:33

Vidurani had done. So without being asked, he landed up. Now Vidurani lost her senses.

7:41

"My Lord has come!" She ran out. She was an old lady.

7:52

She didn't even realize, she's not wearing clothes. She opened the door. Krishna came

7:59

to know, kaki has lost her consciousness. He took His Pitamber and put it on her.

8:07

He said, will you not call me inside? Vidurani said, come.

8:13

Now she made Him sit. What to offer Him? She had a few options, but she was

8:21

not able to think because she was overwhelmed in loving devotion.

8:28

The nearest were the bananas. She took those and in her absorption, she's dropping the

8:35

fruit and the banana peels she's putting it in Krishna's mouth.

8:42

Krishna is eating that banana peel, enjoying, wow I've never tasted anything

8:50

like this. You will say you've never tasted anything like this, like banana peels?!

8:58

I heard your Golok, Divine Abode, has got so many tasty things. No no no I am

9:05

tasting the love of the devotee. Gods says

9:17

“Hindi verse”

10:34

God was relishing the bhav, with which Vidurani was

10:44

offering those banana peels. In the meantime Vidurji came. He had come from

10:52

the market. "Listen, what happened today."

10:58

Krishna offered so much respect in front of everybody. He announced my name. He is

11:04

going to come. Let us prepare. And then he looked inside, Vidurani was sitting

11:11

with Krishna, putting banana peels in His mouth. Vidurji really lost his temper.

11:21

What, God has come to our house this is how you treat Him? So he brought

11:25

the halwa poori etc., which he had purchased." Krishna, please forgive me."

11:31

"Take this. She doesn't think properly." Krishna ate the halwa poori. But He said,

11:38

Vidurji don't mind. The sweetness in those banana peels is not in this halwa poori.

11:47

God relishes the love of the giver, not the gift of the lover.

11:57

So when you offer bhog to the lord, make the sentiment that he is going to

12:05

eat it. After offering, when you open your eyes, at least think for a moment, even

12:12

today He did not come to eat प्रत्यक्ष, साक्षात !

12:18

He came for so many, for Dhanna jhat and for Sadna Kasai etc. That means, I don't

12:27

have any devotion. Thinking like that if we feel a little remorse, we will get a

12:35

few numbers. But we decide in the beginning itself that he cannot come.

12:42

Then, where is that faith?
