The Way Shree Krishna Energizes your Mind - UNLOCK your Mind's Hidden Powers | Swami Mukundananda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M Full Text: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10 verses 4, 5 “Intelligence, knowledge, freedom from doubt and delusion, forgiveness, truthfulness, control of the senses, control of the mind, happiness and distress, birth, death, fear, fearlessness, nonviolence, equanimity, satisfaction, austerity, charity, fame and infamy – all these various qualities of living beings are created by Me alone” https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/10/4-5/ 1 from Me alone arise the varieties of qualities in Humans, such as Intellect, knowledge, clarity of thought, Forgiveness, Truthfulness, control over the senses and mind, joy and sorrow, birth and death, fear and courage, nonviolence, equanimity, contentment, austerity, charity, fame and infamy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=47 2 All qualities in us manifest from Shri Krishna, He says look, when some quality manifests in people to an exceptional extent, it is My power that is enabling it, I am the ability in humans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=86 3 Consider this intellect of ours, now sometimes you realize that this intellect is getting enhanced by some power, when He wishes someone to succeed in business, he enhances that person's intellect there, so you find that this guy is otherwise quite less intelligent but how come he's got such amazing business acumen based on his past sanskars which he doesn't know but God knows, God gave the karmic results and enhanced the ability to earn money, well likewise God may want certain changes to happen in the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=182 4 when kripaluji Maharaj’s video first started coming on TV, I was in charge of his video editing department and it was a complete mess because there were three formats around the world, there was the pal format, the ccam format, and the ntsc format and changing from one video format to other was a horrendous thing because of the difference in the number of frames per second and that got me wondering that supposing that kind of mess had happened in the computer field where there were multiple successful operating systems it would have been so chaotic for the world to interact with one another, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=236 5 is it possible that God enhanced the brain of Bill Gates to make him succeed in such a big way that Windows became the dominating system worldwide, to reduce this kind of confusion, so sometimes God wants things to happen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=286 6 like the British may take credit for having conquered the world but Swami Vivekanand felt that they don't deserve the credit, he said the purpose of the British Empire was only to tie the world in one language and if you think about it there's something to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=310 7 someone asked Maharishi Shri Aurobindo, how come once India was at the top and then after that it became the Middle East, Greece and then moved on from there to Rome and then Portugal and Portugal disappeared in Spain and from Spain to France to England and then America and then back now, then China and now back to India. What is all this ? He said God's plans are inconceivable, He lifts one area, drops the other etc so when He wants something to happen, He gives the intellect & He says I am the intellect in humans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=330 8 Shree Krishna is the Knowledge in Humans, I am that knowledge that enables you to distinguish spiritual things, spiritual wealth from Material wealth, right from wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=373 9 Shree Krishna Provides us the Clarity of Mind; again He says I am Asammohan, - the freedom from confusion, do you have that experience of clarity ? some people have it to a tremendous extent like Einstein did and he said if you cannot explain something easily enough, you don't understand it clearly enough. So he (Einstein) was free from Asammohan (confusion). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=391 10 Whereas a little mosquito it went on its first flight around and when it came back to the parents, they said how was your first flight, he said so amazing, wherever I went, people were clapping for me but that was his confusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=427 11 Ability to Forgive comes from Shree Krishna Shri Krishna says the ability to see clearly comes from Me and the ability to forgive, forgiveness requires so much of spiritual maturity, forgiveness is one of the most difficult things, people can give up attachment but they are unable to give up bitterness over the wounds that God created in their hearts and yet some people possess this ability https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=449 12 and one of them was Nelson Mandela because for a couple of hundred years a particular class of people had practiced Apartheid in South Africa which was totally irrelevant to the modern world and they persisted with it and he was leading the movement against it. They hurt him so badly they threw him in jail for 27 years in the harsh South African winters, he would wear a skimpy shirt and half pants for all they gave him and he was made to break lime in the quarry where his eyes literally got blinded but he was still free from bitterness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=492 13 and later on when it became evident that Apartheid would be removed and Nelson Mandela would take over the new state, that country was on the brink of a civil war, imagine the pent-up hatred in people of all the victimization and discrimination that had been meted out to them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=544 14 and here was a person completely able to forgive and he steered the country away from civil war. He was asked on the 60-minute show in the United States that when you walked out of prison did you not feel bitter for what they did to you for 27 years ? He said you know I realized that I will need to throw this away completely, to do the work that I am ordained to do by God so that ability to forgive and move on which is essential to everyone for Spiritual progress without which you can never progress because you remain pinned down, Shri Krishna says that comes from Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=574 15 Shree Krishna enables us to Control our Senses, He also says from Me comes the satya, the truth, “Dum” (दम) the Restraint of the senses, the senses are always hankering for their objects and yet human beings somehow or the other, they develop the ability to pull them back and one such person who had that ability to an astonishing extent was Arjun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=630 16 now Arjun's foster father was Indra, we all know his mother was Kunti, so he went to meet Indra in the Celestial Abodes and Indra of course spoke to Arjun but he thought that Arjun needs some entertainment at night, so he instructed the most attractive of his apsaras, Urvashi to go to Arjun at night and Urvashi reached arjun's chamber and knocked, Arjun said maata (mother), at night you are here ? Urvashi was shocked, he had called her mother, she said I have come to give you joy, he said impossible, you are the mistress of my father how can I accept you ? He rejected an Apsara from Swarglok, how can a human being have that kind of sense control ? Shri Krishna says Arjun, I empower people like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=667 17 Shree Krishna helps us develop Self-Restraint He goes on further, He says I am also the restraint so “Dum” is the control of the senses Shree Krishna enables us to Control our Mind, “Shum” is the control of the mind, when you feel angry, is it better to vent your anger or to subdue it ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=743 18 One person was at the flight counter when all of a sudden the announcement started flashing that the flight has been cancelled and when he came to check in the clerk said I'm sorry sir, the flight has been cancelled and that sent him into a rage, he said what a lousy Airlines you are, how could this happen to me, I had such a meeting and he started banging upon the desk and no matter what the clerk would say he was not willing to cool down ; behind him was another passenger that passenger said, sir I am noticing that you are banging on this for the last 3 minutes but it's not helping, why don't you do one thing, you speak to the clerk, I'll bang for you, that annoyed him he left and the clerk said sir that was a very funny joke of yours, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=770 19 nevertheless this guy said I am so sorry my flight is cancelled but I have an important meeting in the evening, can you please arrange for something else for me ? do I need to go to another Airlines or do you have a contact ? they said sir we do have the connections, give me a couple of minutes, I'll see what can be done and she put him on another flight, so was it better to be angry or to be solution oriented ? this ability to control the mind, Shri Krishna says, it comes from Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=827 20 The perception of Self comes from Shree Krishna, He says bhava I am the perception of the self what is your perception of the self ? do you have awareness of your defects ? can you take stock of where you are ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=860 21 one monk used to carry a mirror in his luggage, so from time to time he'd pull it out and take a look and that was very irksome to some of his devotees and they said guruji, you are supposed to be free from bodily consciousness and why do you from time to time take a look at the mirror ? the college teenagers they do that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=879 22 Once one lady came and sat in my prachan and every 2 minutes she would put her hair like this, because it was short cut, so it would come in front and then she'd lift it up, so I said devi ji, why don't you just tie it up behind she said Swami ji this is a particular hairstyle, it's called flick, so I have to keep flicking it, now for teenagers it's all right it's acceptable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=909 23 but guruji why do you do it why do you see yourself in the mirror ? Guruji said whenever there's a difficult situation, I take a look to remind myself that who is the culprit, where do I need to work upon, I remind myself not to be a part of the problem but to be a part of the solution The awareness of Self comes from Shree Krishna his awareness of the self, where am I ? what are my emotions ? what am I doing ? Shri Krishna says that is coming from Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=938 24 Ability to Face Difficulties and Live comes from Shree Krishna, He is also saying that the Abhava, the experience of death, the fear of death itself. This fear of death is there in everyone and it is ensuring that we continue to live despite the difficulties this is called “jivesna”, the natural desire to live. If somebody is in miseries, he says how terrible my life has become, if I die it'll be better, now you go and place your hands on his neck, he will say what are you doing ? tell him, you said if I die it'll be better, I'm going to help you. No no no no, I was just saying it out of frustration, I don't want to die, nobody wants to die https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=972 25 the patient who is on the hospital bed, unable to walk to the restroom, has a bed pan, cannot eat, has a tube going in, the leg is hanging from the roof, that patient also says doctor, I hope I will not die. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=1032 26 Why this yearning to live, fear of death. God has made it that way so you don't chicken out in front of the struggles of life, you continue to bear with the karmas, clear the account, learn the lessons to lead a better life in the afterlife, so Shri Krishna says that look Arjun all these qualities are coming from Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=1053 27 but does that mean that we should not try to cultivate them because we heard That only by His grace, can you know Him - both are necessary, your efforts and His grace. God helps those who help themselves. Napoleon Bonaparte, who was one of the finest Generals in Europe, his philosophy was when you pray pray as if it depends on God but when you fight, fight as if it depends on you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=1086 28 So that is exactly what Vashisht told Ram “verse”, externally do your best but internally remind yourself it's all God's grace that allows it to happen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=1130 29 so Shri Krishna has started telling Arjun his vibhuties (opulences) and how will these vibhuties help us cultivate devotion in our heart, He will soon be telling us and continue the description of these vibhuties, we look forward to savoring these by His grace and by your effort https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=1148 Standby link (in case youtube link does not work) The Way Shree Krishna Energizes your Mind - UNLOCK your Mind's Hidden Powers Swami Mukundananda.mp4

Who is Shree Radha ? | Vedic Scriptures Revealed This About Radha Rani -by Swami Mukundanand
Who is Shree Radha ? | Vedic Scriptures Revealed This About Radha Rani -by Swami Mukundanand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnz9O0ub34 1 thousands of Laksmis (Godesses of Fortune) are “ansh” (different manifestations) of Radha, they have all manifested from Her, from the left side of Radharani, Mahalakshmi the goddess of fortune manifested What do Vedic scriptures reveal about Shree Radha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnz9O0ub34&t=0 2 Atharvediya Radhikopnishad states that one divine entity has taken on two forms Shaktimaan and Shakti, the Energetic and the Energy ; the source and its powers Krishna Radha, Shiv Parvati, Rama Sita, Narayan Lakshmi and so On, so the relationship between them is of Shaktimaan and Shakti, they are in a way inseparable, just like you cannot separate the whiteness from milk similarly Radha and Krishna are eternally One, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnz9O0ub34&t=21 3 people ask did they get Married, it's always a mistake to evaluate the Leelas of God with material Intellect, does God need to get married ? they are the Shaktiman & Shakti & only for our benefit they may engage in worldly pastimes but they are eternally beyond that ; that is why Ramayan says, you may say water and aquapura H2O are two different words but they refer to the same thing similarly you can say that Sita and Rama are two different words but they refer to the same divine entity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnz9O0ub34&t=95 4 and just like the Energetic takes on different forms as Krishna as Rama, as Narayan, as Shiva, as Narsimha etc. ; similarly that Shakti also takes on different forms as Radha, Sita, Lakshmi, Kali, Durga, Parvati ; that is why in the Brahmavaivartak Puran, Shri Krishna is offering praises to Radharani https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnz9O0ub34&t=153 5 Krishna says “verse”, O Radha, these are all your different forms, that divine YogMaya energy has taken on all these different forms ; some people ask why is it that in the Srimad-Bhagavatam there is no mention of Radharani, Srimad Bhagavatam is popular it talks about Shri Krishna Leela and it doesn't mention Radharani ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnz9O0ub34&t=193 6 The reason is that Sukdev ji, the speaker of the Srimad Bhagavatam is the great devotee of Radharani, he is Leela shuk (shuk is parrot), He is the divine parrot in their pastimes, he has so much of love for Radha that if he takes the name Radha, he faints unconscious, he had to complete the Srimad Bhagavatam in seven days if he had fainted out there the Srimad Bhagavatam would have remained incomplete, that is why he is avoiding mentioning Radha but he is indirectly mentioning her https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnz9O0ub34&t=262 7 when Krishna from the Rasmandal disappeared with one Gopi, the others are saying this one Gopi must have particularly worshipped Krishna, this word comes "Anayaradhito", so indirectly he is mentioning Radha, the intention is definitely there and ultimately Srimad Bhagavatam is written by Ved Vyas, this is not the only purana that Ved Vyas wrote, apart from the Srimad Bhagavatam, Ved Vyas has written 17 more, in all 18 puranas, in six of them he talks about Radha Ji, the Padma Puran says thousands of Lakshmis (Goddesses of Fortune) are "Ansh" of Radha they have manifested from Her birth ; in the Narad Puran he says from the left side of Radharani Mahalakshmi, the goddess of fortune manifested, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnz9O0ub34&t=315 8 in the Adi Puran Ved Vyas writes “verse’, in the Matshya Puran, he says “verse’, In the Devibhagwat Puran, he says “verse”, in the Brahma Vaivartak Puran, he says “verse”, first worship Radha and then worship Krishna ; so there are so many pramans (evidences) in the scriptures of the Radha 'Tatwa' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnz9O0ub34&t=400 9 but some people still remain unconvinced, they say the ultimate authority are the Vedas, if Radha Tatwa is there, the Vedas should also mention it, the fact is that the Vedas do mention it, during the Maharas, Shri Krishna took Radharani & went away, The Vedas are saying and if some pundit (scholar) says no, the word Radha here means something else, there's another mantra to testify “verse”, here Radha is referred to as the daughter of Vrishbhanu, now there is no further scope for Interpretation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnz9O0ub34&t=454 10 it is the Radha Tatwa that is being referred to in all these scriptures, so the Radha Tatwa is Sanatan or Eternal like the Krishna Tatwa, She is the YogMaya Shakti, the divine power. The Maya Shakti, we all know is the material energy, Maya, this is insentient, it doesn't have consciousness, and the other is the YogMaya, that is the all-powerful Shakti (energy). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnz9O0ub34&t=524 11 The all-powerful shakti YogMaya is such that God remains in bliss by virtue of it, He is taking care of all the works of the world and He is still in His bliss, how does He do it ? with that YogMaya and by power of YogMaya, He is creating his divine Abode Golok & by the power of YogMaya, He is doing His leelas (pastimes) ; that is why when the Maharas was to be done, first of all Shri Krishna took shelter of Radha, Radha ji, I don't have any powers, the power is You - if I need to do anything, I will need Your help, so with the help of YogMaya He created a mind and then the Leela began.

1 the Supreme Lord said both you and I have had many Births, Arjun, you have forgotten them while I remember them all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=1 2 so Lord Krishna is first of all saying that Arjun you have had many births, how many births have we had uncountable, we have been in Maya since uncountable lifetimes and we have wandered from species to species to species, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said “verse” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=27 3 you know Kings of old, they had no remorse about torturing people and the most effective way of torture they would adopt is ducking people in the water, where they feel they are close to death and then release them again, duck them in the water until the person relents, so this Maya Davi is doing the same to us it's tormenting us and then we say oh my God I can't tolerate anymore, okay here's a rasagulla, little relief, then again getting tormented, okay another rasagulla, here's a relief, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=74 4 and in the process Chaitanya Mahaprabhu says like that soccer ball goes sometimes forward here in the left wing then it comes back to the center, then it goes to the right wing and to the field center, so this soul is sometimes going to Swarg, then coming to Mrityu Lok, going to Narak, going in the various species of life, all of us have had these endless lifetimes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=112 5 second point, He says Arjun, I have also had innumerable births births, now Bhagavan's birth is the Avatar, so there have been innumerable Avatars, somebody says I've heard only of 10 Avatars, somebody says I've heard of 24 in the Srimad Bhagavatam Puran, well actually this 10 and 24 is a little sample and Bhagawan’s Avatars are Infinite “verse”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=142 6 in Srimad Bhagavatam, Shri Krishna tells Raja Muchukund, there are so many avatars of Mine like the waves of the ocean, like for example there is a Yuga Avatar, so in every Yuga there is a Yuga Avatar and in one Maha Yuga there are four yugas, Satyug Treta Dwapar Kaliyug, so there are four in one Maha Yug and 71 Maha Yugas in one Manvantar, so multiply 4 by 71 284 and then there are 14 Manvantar in one day of Brahma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=193 7 now start totaling up in one year of Brahma, how many Avatars in Brahma's 100 years, how many Avatars and this is in one cycle of creation and of one Universe, like this, there are infinite universes and the cycles of creation keep on happening, Srishti Sthiti Pralay, so when we say God is Big, we don't realize the magnitude of the word big because our experience of bigness is Limited https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=232 8 so this Bhagavan possessing infinite opulences has had infinite Avatars, Lord Krishna is saying that Arjun, we both have had innumerable births but there is a difference, there's a difference between Your birth and mine, you don't even remember your own births, I remember all your previous births and I remember all of Mine as well so this verse establishes the Bhagavatta of Shri Krishna and it also establishes the difference between the jeev and Bhagavan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=270 9 sometimes people say the jeev itself is Bhagawan, so Shri Krishna is saying Arjun there's a difference, you are Alpagya I am Sarvagya, this jeev is pervading one body, Bhagavan is pervading Anant Brahmands, what is the knowledge that you possess ? you know what you are thinking but do you know what your neighbour is thinking, you don't know what everybody in this room is thinking and what is the sarvagyata of Bhagavan, He knows what each of us is thinking, not only in this Hilton hotel but throughout the state of Maryland, throughout the country of America, all the countries of the world, all the planets of this galaxy, all the galaxies of the universe, all the universes of creation, not only what we are thinking right now but what we thought ever since we were born in our infinite lifetimes that is Sarvagyata of the All Knowing “verse” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=332 10 Mundak Upanishad says Bhagavan is Sarvagya and the jeev is Alpagya, knows little, how little this word little doesn't describe the minuteness of what we know, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=426 11 some people went to a restaurant and there was some music being played by musicians in the restaurant, they were playing some old Bollywood numbers so these fellows got to talking, you know, I recognize the one that they are playing they are just instrumental, this seems to be that one song that Lata Mangeshkar has sung, so they called the waiter and they asked the waiter can you please find out what is the number that is playing, the waiter said, yes sir, he waddled to where the musicians were he asked somebody out there and with an air of victory, he came back, the question was what song is playing, he Said they are playing violin, Eureka! I know it all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=446 12 likewise we can say, I know this, I know that but in front of the knowledge of Bhagavan what do we know ? so this Bhagavan is niyamak, He is the implementor of the niyam and the jeev is niyanta (under the niyams), He is Dharak (upholder), we are the dharyaman, we are upheld by Him, He Is sarva vyapak (present everywhere), we are vyapt (present) in one body, He is all Knowing, we have limited knowledge, this verse is establishing the difference between jeev and Bhagavan, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=504 13 Jagat Guru Shankaracharya has given in his commentary, he says “verse” imagine what strong words Shankaracharya is using Murkhanam, those ignorant people who deny the Divinity of Sri Krishna, this verse is cutting that out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=550 14 there are three kinds of Advaitis, some of the Advaitis they accept that Shri Krishna, His form is Divine, His name is Divine, He is Par-Brahma, some Advaitis thee say that Shri Krishna is Maya Vishisht Brahman that means that Brahma got affected by Maya and became Shri Krishna and some Advaitis say that all Nam Roop is Mithya so Shri Krishna's form is also Mithya but Shankaracharya the ardent propounder of gyan marg, an Advait vadi, he is saying “verse” and in the next “verse” commentary he says I'm quoting from the Shankar Bhashya of the Bhagavad Gita, he says that Bhagavan is Sarva Shakti Sampann, this soul is tiny and Bhagavan is Sarvagya and Shri Krishna is explaining the difference between Arjun's birth and His birth (as Avatar) Advaitis, more vide https://bitl.to/4sGq https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=585 Standby link (in case youtube link does not work) God Knows EVERYTHING l The Secret of the Bhagavad Gita Revealed l Shree Krishna l Swami Mukundananda.mp4

1 Those who are of purified intellect, who are aware & have decided that the world is not mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=0 2 one husband and wife, somebody took them to the raceourse and they saw all these horses running around they were allured, people were winning and they said so exciting so they had with them $200, they said "Let's try a little." They lost it, let's try this little, let's try this and finally they lost everything except for $2, so they were going home with the $2 and there was a casino, husband said to the wife that you go home let me see if I can play a little with these $2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=9 3 he entered the casino he put the $2 somewhere and it was his lucky one it became $200, he tried again and it became $2,000 and he kept on willing until he had $53,000 so he said "Wow I'm having my winning streak." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=52 4 Now gamblers they all know that once in a while they have a winning streak so he said "Okay let's put it all on number 13 $53,000." And that needle roamed around and came at number 12 so he lost everything he came home wife said "What happened?" He said "I lost the $2." Well that is what you lose in any case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=74 5 we people make a big deal about worldly trials and tribulations but the purified intellect says, it doesn't matter, it's not as important as your mind is making it out to be, so that is the Vishudh-Atma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=110 6 and then he says vijitātmā jitendriyijitātne who has conquered the self or subdued the mind. jitendriyne who has conquered the senses. those karm yogis who have controlled vijitātmā ,conquered their mind and their senses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=127 7 then sarva-bhūtātma-bhūtātmā, “One who works in devotion, who is a pure soul, and who controls his mind and senses is dear to everyone, and everyone is dear to him. Though always working, such a man is never entangled” https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/5/7/ they see the soul of all the souls in everything, the soul of the souls is Bhagavan so they start seeing God everywhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=139 8 once in a Balmukund class one teacher was teaching the students and asked “where is Bhagavan”, so one student said he is in the Radha Krishna Mandir, one student said that he's in our house puja room, one student said that Shri Krishna Bhagavan is in everybody's heart, one student said He is in our bathroom, so the Balmukund teacher got confused, why did you say that God is in your bathroom, boy said you know the reason is that every morning when my father goes to the bathroom, my mother is already there and he keeps waiting and he says hey Bhagavan when will you get out of here, so I am sure father knows that Bhagavan is inside 8 actually it's a fact that Bhagavan is not only in the toilet but He is everywhere in this world as well and the utam adhikari, a shresht devotee, is one who sees Him everywhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=157 9 in the Srimad Bhagavatam, Vyas ji writes the shresht devotee is one who sees God everywhere and because they are at such a state, the karm yogis they have purified their intellect they have controlled their minds, they are seeing this world as divine, so even though they do everything they are not bound in their works (karmas) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=249 10 for example the gopis were not renunciants, they were living in their homes they had children, they had families and yet their state in bhakti was so elevated that Narad ji says they are Acharyas, he says “greatest devotees are like Gopis”, Narad has written a Bhakti Darshan of 84 sutras and then he says, who are the acharyas of this bhakti, so he doesn't say Prahlad, he doesn't say Ambrish, he doesn't say Prithu, he says “yatha braj Gopika bhav” take a look at the bhakti of the gopis that means even in the state of karm yog, you can achieve the highest state of elevation, if you keep on improving your mind, the decision of your intellect etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=280 11 so the idea here is that you should as a karm yogi try and develop divine consciousness. Material consciousness comes easy, I and my self-interest and that self-interest leads to hatred, love and hate, whoever fulfills it we love that person, whoever harms it we hate that person, all this comes naturally due to the ego, now we need to break it down as a karm yogi by extending our consciousness I am not alone “verse” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=341 12 the Vedas are saying there are two personalities in the heart one is the soul and one is the Supreme Soul, that Supreme Soul is a friend of the soul and the Supreme Soul is looking and watching but this tiny soul has its back to the Supreme Soul, so the Supreme Soul is not interfering and it's like two birds on a tree so this soul is eating the fruit of the tree - likewise we are reaping the karmas of our past actions while in this body so the Vedas say if this first bird turns around to the second bird, if the soul turns around to God all its miseries will cease to be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=388 13 what is the idea of turning around ? bringing the awareness of God, He is with me, this is one of the important precepts (principals) in the darshan that Kripalu ji maharaj has presented that expand your consciousness, when you go to the temple you're thinking Bhagavan is there but when you come out, you're thinking Bhagavan is not there, now always learn to live in the consciousness of God at all times, think what I'm doing Bhagavan is watching, so the consequence is we will never do any sin even if your neighbor is not watching, you will never do any sin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=444 14 one person was going out at night to commit a theft at 12, he thinks you know everybody must be asleep, so he's walking on the street should I do the burglary and the neighbor comes arey, what are you doing here oh no no, sorry I was not feeling sleepy that's why I was just taking a walk, now he realized that his neighbor is around & so should not do anything wrong and if you realize that your spiritual father is around then you'll never do any sin so this is the added advantage of trying to practice this consciousness of being in the presence of God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=505 Standby link (in case youtube link does not work) Feel God's Presence EVERYWHERE- Here's Why It Matters So Much✨🙏 Swami Mukundananda Bhagavad Gita.mp4
The UNTOLD Secret of God's Birth - Where God Really Came From? Swami Mukundananda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI Full Text: 1 Although I am unborn and Imperishable and the Lord of All Living Entities, yet I appeared in this world by my Yog Maya power in my Original Divine Form. When we agree that God has a form, the question arises, how does He get born in this world? Is it like we human beings are born from a mother's womb? We reside in the mother's womb where our body develops over nine months and then we manifest. So did He (God) get made in the womb of Devaki ? Or did he come from the outside? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=0 2 Because Srimad Bhagavatam says “verse” that like the Moon manifests, it doesn't get made, it just manifests. Likewise, Shri Krishna Chandra Bhagavan manifested in the jailhouse of Kansa. So if He manifested, He must have jumped in from the window. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=55 3 "No, Swamiji, if Bhagavan had an avatar, if He had a janm (birth), then it must have been from the mother's womb. Arey, for Bhagawan, don't say Janm (birth), say Avatar (descension). Why should we say Avatar? We Celebrate Janmashtami. When we celebrate Janmashtami, that means Bhagawan had janam, janam means birth, if He had a janm (birth), then it must have been from the mother's womb. So this question arises and as we will see later on, to resolve this question is critical to bhakti. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=83 4 The answer is that Shri Krishna says Arjun there is a difference. Although you are taking birth I am also taking birth, there is a difference between your birth and my birth, My birth is divine, So I come by the power of of My Yoga Maya. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=126 5 It may seem to the world that I am coming from but that's not the reality. Like for example, when Bhagawan manifested, so the Bhagavatam states, first of all, Shri Krishna was sitting in the heart, in the mind of Vasudev, He was just sitting there. He will be the father in this life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=154 6 And then after that, He was pretending to be sitting in the womb of Devaki. So like a worldly mother, Devaki's womb was filling up for nine months. And then suddenly it emptied. And he manifested in front in his six foot form as Vishnu with His Four Arms holding The Shankha Chakra Gada Padma. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=187 7 So this Six-Foot Bhagawan, would It have come from Devaki's Stomach? Bhagawan has the Sudarshan Disc in his hand. That Sudarshan Disc is so sharp it would cut anything, with that disc, if he had sat in Devaki's Womb, imagine Devaki's discomfort, she would had a surgical procedure right there. So Bhagawan was just pretending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=215 8 And then He manifested and Devaki accepted, you are not my child. I know Maharaj, verse. So she says, that Lord who is all pervading, who is famous in the world as Shri Vishnu, that is who you are. You are not my child. You are my father's father's father's father's father's Manu Ji maharaj's father Brahmanji, his ultimate father. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=246 9 and I also know why you have come, I had prayed and prayed, God, please come as my child but You have come as my father. How will I experience the love of a mother. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=288 10 So she says. Maharaj, please hide this form of Yours. And please begin the Leela. Start your acting, begin the drama. And that is when Vishnu ji says, all right, I am going to become little Shri Krishna. And this is what you have to do, Vasudev ji. That same Bhagawan, he said, I just came to let you know. So that in future people don't have confusion. That He is the child of Devaki, how can He be God? Otherwise they will doubt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=301 11 So Bhagawan Ram did the same thing. When He manifested to Kaushalya, verse, so in front of Kaushalya, again He manifested in His four arm form, chaturbhuj roop. And Kaushalya also said , Maharaj please start Your Leela and then that Vishnu ji took on the form of baby Ram. He said I just wanted to let you know so that there is there should be no confusions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=343 12 6 28 so He became the baby Ram and then the Leela began, so He is doing nara leela, He is pretending to be human, now what does a human child do when it is born ? It cries, so Bhagawan was also going to cry because it is nara leela but before crying He laughs, verse, no baby laughs and then cries, Why is Bhagawan doing that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=388 13 (07:06) He is doing it just to let everyone know, The drama is going to begin The curtain will be lifted. And when the curtain is lifted by Yog Maya , the first scene is Rodan thana (crying) The child is crying and Kaushalya says alright the child is born, tell Dashrath ji, the whole world is seeing what are they seeing, that Ram is born from Kaushalya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=426 14 7 34 the fact is Bhagwan what need does He have to hang upside down in the womb , He is not crazy, He only creates that illusion by His yog Maya and then manifests from the outside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=454 15 7 53 So that is the All-Powerful God. He says Here, Arjun, I am unborn, Yet I take birth. How? By My Yogamaya. Our birth is material. God's birth is Divine. How does He arrange for it? The Yogamaya. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=473 16 8:26 So he is calling that Yog Maya as atma maya Personal Maya, so everybody has his own personal Maya, Their Maya is limited, they may have ₹1 lakh that is their personal Maya, Indra has got his Maya Indrajal siddhi. And the Maya of Bhagwan is this material energy which is making us all dance, Kam, Krodh, anger, greed, lust, etc. This is the Maya Shakti. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=506 17 9 04 And there is a Yogamaya, Divine Power. Nature of that Divine Power is, Kartum Akartum Anyatha Kartum Samarthah He can do whatever he likes. He can do Contradictory Things. He can do everything together. by that Yog Maya, God is Both Formless and has a form. By that Yog Maya He is sitting inside us and we have got no perception of Him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=544 18 Think, Ananda Sindhu is inside but we are unaware. You touch this 110 Volts and the body gets shaken. And Infinite volts is sitting Inside. And we do not know. Even the doctor doesn't Know. When he applies the stethoscope, he says take a deep breath, even deeper. Doctor, are you perceiving God sitting Inside? No perception. Shree Krishna says, verse . I cover myself by a curtain of Yog Maya. So between the soul and Bhagawan, there are two curtains. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=577 19 On Bhagawan side is the Curtain of Yog Maya that hides us from Him. And on the soul is the curtain of Maya. Now the poor soul is not able to remove the curtain of Maya, how will it remove the curtain of your Yog Maya ? And hence Arjun, nobody is able to know Me. Big problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=634 20 Hence Arjun nobody is able to know me, big problem, so the point to not here is that he (Shri Krishna} says I (God) come from my Divine Maya (yog Maya)
