on this call i feel very happy to be here back after a long long 3:33 time i don't know when i last spoke on this forum but i'm very happy to offer some service 3:41 and to purify my heart this morning so the the topic that uh has been given 3:47 to me is canto six chapter two takes twenty three grand sri madhvatham so 3:53 thank you for the display so then the devotees can kindly go through the wars 3:58 tam viva s 4:12 by srila prabhupada oh sinless maharaja pariksit the order carriers of the supreme personality of 4:18 godhead the vishnu dotas saw that ajamil was attempting to say something and thus 4:23 they suddenly disappeared from his presence purport 4:28 the shastras 4:37 for persons who are published very sinful and misbehaved or very unclean in their 4:43 habits who are against the existence of god who disrespect vaishnavas and brahmanas and who eat anything and 4:50 everything untimely death is sure it is said that in kali yuga 4:56 it is said that in kali yuga one has a maximum life's lifetime of 100 years 5:03 but as people become degraded the duration of their lives decreases praia and alpha 5:10 because ajamil was now free from all sinful reactions his lifetime was extended 5:16 even though he was to have died immediately when the vishnu saw ajamil trying to say 5:22 something to them they disappeared to give him a chance to glorify the supreme lord since all his sinful reactions had been 5:30 vanquished he was now prepared to glorify the lord indeed one cannot glorify the lord 5:35 unless one is completely free from all sinful activities it is confirmed by krishna himself in 5:42 bhagavad-gita 5:51 persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life whose sinful actions are completely eradicated 5:57 and who are free from the duality of delusion engage themselves in my service with determination 6:03 the vishnudutas made ajamil aware of devotional service so that he may he 6:09 might immediately become fit to return home back to godhead now dear devotees this is the section 6:15 that we will focus our whole discussion on to increase his eagerness to glorify the 6:21 lord they disappeared so that he would feel separation in their absence 6:27 prabhupada concludes the report by saying in the mode of separation 6:33 glorification of the lord is very intense srila prabhupada is writing in the mode 6:39 of separation glorification of the lord is very intense 7:01 has been described and glorified as tam adidevam or srimad-bhagavatam you are 7:08 non-different than adidev adidev is the name of krishna two meanings to that 7:14 one meaning of the word adi is the original and deva means person 7:21 the word deva means effulgence so of all the people who are effulgent that is the demigods krishna is adi he's 7:28 the first so he is adi because the bhagavatam describes about 7:33 krishna being the source of everything tam adi devam or another meaning is adi means adiras 7:41 vrajaras the devotion of the gopis of brandawan 7:47 and the word deva means naughtiness so when radharani is 7:52 in krsna's presence krishna is cutting lot of jokes with radharani he plays the flute and he tells her can you play your 7:59 veena as good as me so this is adi deva deva 8:06 and adi both these words have two two meanings first meaning of the word adi is first and deva means effulgent personality so 8:13 he is the best among or the first among the demigods that's adi deva but adi deva also means adi means adirasa 8:20 madhuri rasa and deva means naughtiness who performs krita pastimes 8:27 so he who performs very sweet loving joking 8:37 describes krsna's words are so beautiful that they are filled with stories and 8:43 examples and metaphors and alliterations and word jugglery and jokes and the 8:49 voice is also very sweet the words picked are also very nice and he's very crisp in what he's saying 8:55 and also he says it all in a hidden manner so you have to open up the meanings and 9:02 multiple meanings so that's the speech of krishna so tam adi devan 9:08 describes both aspects of the lord the aishwaryama and the madhuryamai meaning how he's the supreme lord in the 9:15 first nine cantos and how in the tenth canto he plays very wonderfully in the forest of braja tam adi devam srimad 9:23 bhagavatam is adidev and karuna nidanam is the abode of all 9:28 karuna mercy 9:33 it is described in the first canto second chapter third verse 9:48 that we bow down to that shukhadev gosvami who out of mercy he spoke this quran for the benefit and 9:56 the upliftment of mankind so srimad-bhagavatam is the uh is the manifestation of karuna morsi 10:05 this is sound vibration and if somebody hears the sound vibration tamalavaranam 10:10 the bluish black complexion rainfall monsoon cloud the blue lotus floating in the waters of the jamuna the blue cloud 10:17 on the top of the peak of govardhana the tamal tree like threefold bending sham sundar form in the forest of braja will 10:23 appear in the courtyard of one's heart by taking shelter of the sound vibration of srimad-bhagavatam 10:29 tasman mahan mukharita madhuvitram bhagavatam describes that pure 10:34 vaishnavas when they speak srimad-bhagavatam it is quite fascinating why because they have darshan of krishna in their heart 10:41 and they are speaking so mukharita mukharita means that which comes from the mouth but it also means 10:48 transformation so pure vaishnavas they see the darshan of krishna in their heart 10:53 and they transform that leela in words and speak katha and this katha when it enters the ear 11:00 holes of the listener it goes as sound but in their heart again it transforms as leela so the leela that the speaker 11:06 is seeing gets transformed into sound and enters through sound in the ears of the listener and then again gets 11:12 transferred and transformed into leelah so this is mukharita madhavi's charitable the leela of 11:18 murari is spoken through the lips of pure vaishnavas and suhita avataram as sound 11:24 vibration comes in this world apar samsara 11:31 to cross over the ocean of repeated birth and death the srimad-bhagavatam is the best bridge to take us from this end 11:38 to that end we bow down to that form of the supreme 11:44 lord who was manifested in the form of grand raj srimad-bhagavatam 11:49 so my very beloved superior shiksha gurudev 11:55 and the life of the version of community srila gorgovinde maharaj used to say that before speaking from 12:01 srimad-bhagavatam we should first speak something about srimad-bhagavatam so therefore we 12:07 had some glorification of srimad-bhagavatam and now we will get started in the discussion so 12:13 the main point that srila prabhupada concluded the purport with was 12:19 developing the mood of separation because in the mood of separation srila prabhupada writes we can glorify krishna 12:26 very intensely and we can see this in srila krishnadas kaviraj goswami's 12:32 caitanya charitamrat also when he describes our sachin and gora hari he says 12:47 this is the mood of separation that mahaprabhu felt that whenever rasantharavesh whenever there used to be 12:54 a change in his mood vyogaspuran he would feel the mood of separation in his heart 13:00 and sometimes he would be agitated 13:07 mahaprabhu would be agitated in the mood of radha that why did krishna leave me and go to mathura and sometimes he would 13:14 have vishad and he would feel morose he would feel very sad 13:20 hi hi alas alas without you how can i live 13:26 go in the virah name in separation from govinda korea prala he would cry so look at the 13:32 poetry 13:41 [Music] and he would speak and whisper different 13:47 words in different moods sometimes in joy that i have found the threefold bending form of krishna and the next 13:53 moment on losing that meditation mahaprabhu would cry alas allah 13:59 where is my sunder mahaprabhu would cry like this 14:07 srimati radharani in the presence of vishakha sakhi when krishna left brindavan 14:14 srimati radharani cried a very specific verse that rupa gosvami 14:19 writes and that same verse mahaprabhu would cry in separation from krishna holding the 14:26 hand of ramananda who's vishaka sakhi it's quite fascinating radharani would hold the hand of vishaka sakhi and say a 14:32 verse composed by rupa goswami of course rupa goswami heard it from sri 14:39 radha's lips and then wrote it it's not that he was thinking what word should i fit in this poetry that's not how it 14:44 worked mundane poets we can see that they think about what 14:50 word will come but for personalities like rupa gosvami it is prem udgar it's 14:55 an explosion it's it's a volcano coming from their heart 15:01 written through their pen so radharani held the hand of vishaka sakhi 15:07 in krishna leela and in goro lila that radha in the form of mahaprabhu held the hand of 15:12 ramanandarai who's vishaka sakhi and in the mood of separation from krishna 15:17 cried out [Music] 15:36 [Music] 15:42 [Music] 15:51 where is that krishna who is the moon rising in the family of nanda maharaja 15:59 maharaj that is the mood where is that krishna who is the rising 16:07 moon in the family of nanda maharaja 16:12 oh where is that krishna whose face is like a moon and who wears 16:17 a crown of peacock feathers 16:22 where is that krishna who presses his flute to his lips and plays 16:28 very beautiful heart-wrenching melodies from his heart 16:34 duty where is that krishna whose complexion is like a bluish black 16:41 self-effulgent ujjwala neelamuni a self-effulgent touchstone 16:48 quran where is my krishna who is the expert 16:53 hero in the rasa arena 17:00 where is that krishna who is the aushadi who is the medicine to 17:05 produce the fire of separation 17:11 o sakhi where is that best friend of my life ko bhatta hanta hadik 17:19 providence why do you do this to me why do you take away why do you put your hand into my chest and take away my 17:25 heart and force me to live like this this is the mood of our sachin and gov 17:34 feeling bangs of separation mahaprabhu in this mood he was crying 17:39 out all day and night all day and night actually i would like to read a section in caitanya 17:45 charitamrit which describes his separation and i request all of you to kindly hear this i'm just opening up my 17:52 chaitanya charitamrat because these verses are so beautiful are you all ready to drink nectar from 17:58 kaviraj goswami's lips please listen to this here how much separation mahaprabhu felt 18:11 the chandragupta 18:24 he would burn in the fire of separation can someone who is burning 18:31 also drown at the same time no because if they drown how can they burn and if they're burning there is no 18:37 water but mahaprabhu at the same time he was burning and drowning why because in 18:43 his heart the fire of separation from krishna was burning him and at the same time because of that 18:49 fire there were rain shower from his eyes his eyes had become clouds 18:55 and his tears had become rain and they were pouring on his chest to reduce that fire 19:01 because when you throw water on fire the fire gets extinguished but if you throw one or two drops it's 19:08 not gonna get extinguished you have to throw buckets mahaprabhu was not throwing buckets he was raining because 19:14 the fire was a forest fire and the forest fire cannot be extinguished by buckets of water or 19:20 pipes of water so his heart was on fire his body was on fire 19:25 in separation from krishna and to extinguish the forest fire of 19:30 separation from krishna only the rain of his tears could fall on the heart 19:36 but what was happening the fire was burning him and the tears were drowning him 19:42 and this tears which were falling on the heart were actually increasing the fire 19:47 and as the fire increased he was crying more and they mutually helped each other 19:53 so it's difficult to know whether mahaprabhu was burning in the fire of separation or drowning in the ocean of 19:59 his own tears 20:18 garden to another brahmana mahaprabhu would wonder 20:24 seeing the pastimes of krishna seeing the pastimes of krishna mahaprabhu would run 20:32 and as he would hear 20:38 the verses of srimad-bhagavatam the songs of jaidev goswami vidyapati chandidas the verses of bilba mangal 20:45 thakur and of course shukrev goswami as swarup damodara and ramanandarai were flooding 20:50 his two years ramanandarai would chant the verses swarup damodar goswami would sing the 20:56 songs as he was flooded from both sides mahaprabhu would have darshan of those 21:02 leelas and in one garden he would see krishna standing in a three-fold bending form under a tree and mahaprabhu would 21:08 go there and that form would disappear and chanting those verses oh krishna where are you he would enter another 21:14 garden because that garden would attract him not by the fragrance of the flowers 21:19 but it seems krishna has just be entered that garden because his bodily fragrance 21:25 has become completely permeated that forest so mahaprabhu was now running into that 21:31 forest swelling the fragrance of krishna's body and as he would go there all that 21:37 remains in that forest is krsna's fragrance but where is krishna then he would hear the flute sound 21:44 coming from another uh forest and he would run there so through his eyes through his ears through his nose 21:51 through all his senses mahaprabhu would be attracted from one forest to another 22:01 just by chanting those verses and hearing those songs mahaprabhu would have darshan and he would run from one 22:07 place to another in fact in our chaitanya charity mahaprabhu explains 22:13 imagine if there is one horse and there are five five horse riders on 22:19 the top of one horse generally you see one rider on one horse but imagine if there are five riders horse riders on 22:25 one horse and they're all driving the horse in different directions what happens to that poor horse 22:32 he just collapses because he doesn't know what to do mahaprabhu gives this example and he 22:37 says my five senses my eyes my nose my ears 22:42 my tongue and the sense of touch they are the five horse riders and my mind is a horse 22:48 they've all sat on my mind and they're competing in which direction to take it my eyes are saying let me see krishna 22:54 let me see krishna let me see krishna but the ears are saying no no wait a minute let me hear his ankle bells let 23:00 me hear his flute let me hear his voice by then the nose is saying both of you 23:06 keep quiet i want to first smell the bodily aromatic fragrance coming from the transcendental form of sham sundar 23:13 [Laughter] the sense of touch is saying all of you get to the side i want to embrace my 23:20 sunday and the tongue is saying hold on all of this starts by chanting his holy 23:26 name let me just chant his names and let me honor his remnants prasad so 23:31 all five senses are battling each other on who's going to get krishna first 23:37 and they're all like five horse riders on one horse that is the mind mahaprabhu 23:43 says what can my poor horse like mind do these five horse riders have sat and they are driving in five different 23:49 directions and this is why when i look at jagannath i think because the horse of my mind collapses 23:57 has this world ever seen such pram dasha is it ever possible 24:02 by anyone anywhere in any part of the world to 24:08 ever experience what maishachirandhan gowda hari experienced 24:13 dear devotees mother earth is fortunate that sri caitanya 24:19 mahaprabhu touched her with his lotus feet mother earth is fortunate 24:24 not so much as ganga or jamuna or krishna leela yes they are all wonderful 24:30 but caitanya mahaprabhu is the best thing that has ever happened 24:35 to mother earth mother earth has never experienced ganga and yamuna flowing from the eyes 24:42 of a personality prabhupada the ganga who appeared from the lotus of 24:49 the lord's feet as vamandev agreed to appear from the lotus of his eyes as caitanya mahaprabhu 24:56 oh how wonderful ganga appeared from the feet of vamander but in kali yoga appeared from the eyes 25:03 of gohari so we should have some some joy and some pride in being godia 25:12 being a follower of sachin and then governor harry is not an easy thing 25:17 it is something that has touched our lives out of great fortune 25:22 supreme great fortune we cannot deserve the shelter of we cannot even desire it it is so lofty 25:31 but 25:36 mahaprabhu out of his causeless mercy just appeared 500 years ago and through the link of the six go swamis and srila 25:44 prabhupada we are so fortunate however fallen we are however reckless we are we 25:49 are able to hear gauranga madhuri 25:54 prabhas 26:22 i want the association of that person 26:31 says in the absorption of feelings of separation from krishna karena ghana 26:39 sometimes he would sing and sometimes he would dance remembering krishna 26:47 and sometimes in bhava in absorption of separation from krishna mahaprabhu himself would stand like 26:54 krishna he's thinking so much about krishna and is so much lost in separation that he himself would stand 27:00 like this and cry remembering krishna this is 27:06 something else and when he would think about krishna and bird and separation what would happen 27:11 goes for me says 27:25 sometimes in the fire of separation and in the high tides 27:31 of ecstasy 27:38 he would run all over the place searching for krishna and when he wouldn't find krishna bhume podi he 27:44 would fall on the floor kabum and sometimes he would froth and form from his mouth unconscious 27:52 and sometimes he would roll on the dust calling out to krishna 28:02 he himself would explain he would chant the verses of srimad-bhagavatam and he himself would explain and he himself 28:08 would feel separated and he would cry and devotees would only see this he would they would just experience 28:26 would explain all the verses and in some verses radha and krishna are meeting and he would find so much joy and in some 28:33 verses they are separating and he would find so much shock so look at the poetry a mata is prakar 28:39 in this way rasa lila shlok how much ever 28:46 mahaprabhu would explain all of them and pai kabu harsha shokh 28:51 sometimes harsha and sometimes shoka when he sees that radha and krishna are meeting harsha and when he finds radha 28:58 and krishna are separating in the leelah ashoka 29:04 kaviraj gosvami says how much can i describe mahaprabhu's ecstasy says 29:16 if i start describing his ecstatic symptoms then one chaitanya charitabrite has to 29:21 be written only on the ecstatic symptoms kaviraj goswami says 12 years every 29:28 second mahaprabhu wept and cried for krishna 12 years in sanskrit 12 years are called one yuga 29:36 this is why he says nimeshena 29:42 that 12 years have passed in a blink but at the same time in separation from 29:49 krishna every blink seems painful like 12 years 29:54 imagine if someone has rashes on their back and rashes in their body for them to lay 30:01 down and sleep is very difficult so every night every hour goes very slow 30:09 but when there is there are no rashes and the person is comfortable even if they sleep 12 hours they they 30:15 when they are woken up they act like mucho kunda they will burn the person who is waking waking them up so which 30:21 means when there is joy time passes very quickly and we don't realize and when there is 30:27 sorrow then every moment looks 30:34 it goes slow it goes slow i remember when i came to america 10 years ago i didn't know any 30:41 devotees here and i was living alone i literally could feel every day pass 30:49 by and i would think that i think it's not 24 it's 48 hours because 30:55 nothing to do no devotee association no temple no center not one person no 31:00 friend and uh time difference with india you can speak to the devotees and the 31:06 friends you made all your life it's like a total change but then after meeting devotees how time 31:13 passes you don't know three hours of class and it seems like it was just a blink of a moment 31:18 so of course our experience is insignificant but what i'm trying to say is if rashes on the back can hurt us so 31:25 much that every hour seems so difficult to pass at night imagine mahaprabhu 31:31 separation from krishna let's understand it like this when we are missing something small in 31:37 life and you get it then that separation is not filled but the greatest separation that ever 31:43 exists in this world is separation from the greatest personality you can't replace him with anything else 31:51 if someone is feeling separation from let's say a a lost iphone or whatever phone 31:58 then you get them a new phone they don't feel separation anymore so it's easier to replace the things that you feel 32:04 separation from and then you don't feel any more separation let's say there's a dent in a car 32:09 you feel bad about it but when you repair that then you don't feel anything about it right because they can be 32:15 replaced and substituted but there is no substitute for krishna so when you feel separation from him 32:23 you can't settle for anything lower anything equal or anything higher because nothing exists 32:30 the only solution is getting him and the more one gets him the more in 32:36 humility one feels i am not qualified 32:41 so therefore caitanya charitably describes separation from krishna is like drinking hot sugar cane juice 32:49 it is so so hot that you can't drink it 32:54 but at the same time it is so sweet a sugar cane juice that you can spit it out 33:00 krishna viraj goswami has used this example that 33:08 it gives so much joy in the heart that you can forget him and it gives so much pain 33:16 in not getting him that you can't remember him but at the same time you can't forget 33:22 him uddhava comes and tells the gopis you think about krishna use your mind to 33:27 think about krishna and when you think about krishna there is no more suffering 33:33 the gopis are saying we are doing yoga to forget him and you are teaching us yoga to remember 33:40 him 33:45 my guru maharaj in one class was explaining that uddha's words were like stone 33:54 and the gopis hearts headed by sri radha they are like mirror 34:00 what happens when you throw stone at mirror the mirror breaks so hearing the stone 34:06 like words of uddhava the the mirror of radha's heart 34:13 was getting shattered but what happens is when you have a full mirror you have 34:18 only one reflection one reflection of the person but when the mirror the mirror glass 34:26 shatters every piece starts to reflect so radharani starts telling buddha 34:37 [Music] 34:50 you have come to teach what yog right yoga means to remember right but yoga 34:57 also means to meet yate so you should actually teach us yoga by 35:03 which we can meet krishna but your words are creating not yoga but v yoga more 35:09 separation so your words are like stone and you're throwing 35:16 those stone on the mirror of our heart and what's happening is before we had one problem 35:23 we wanted to somehow ask that one krishna reflection in the mirror of our heart to leave but when the stone of 35:29 your words are hitting and cracking the mirror of our heart so many pieces have been formed and in 35:36 each of those pieces shamsunder is reflected before we had one krishna that we wanted to forget now we have we have more than 35:43 300 krishnas in our heart how can we forget him how can we you are actually increasing our pain 35:52 or we can say uddhava's words were like droplets of water and radharani's heart was like a hot 35:59 tawa what happens when you put little water on a hot tawa 36:06 the heat increases you can feel the steam on the surface right so uddha was trying to pour water 36:12 to extinguish that fire of separation but his water was like droplets they were actually increasing the heat 36:18 so chaitanya charitameric describes that dua what sorry 12 years j.j 36:39 how much experience of separation mahaprabhu felt at every minute 36:45 the scripture will become very voluminous 36:52 at every moment for 12 years mahaprabhu was bleeding and crying and sweating and 36:57 perspiring 37:07 that when he came as ramachandra uh bow and arrow were his ornaments when he 37:12 came as krishna kaustubhamani and the peacock feather and the flute were his ornaments but when he came as mahaprabhu 37:18 what were his ornaments kanchana sadhusha just like we can see when the sun is 37:24 rising the sky becomes red and then there's a golden sun 37:29 mahaprabhu's body was like the golden sun and his sannyas cloth was the reddish sky 37:37 and what were his ornaments 37:44 his hair was standing on end voice was choking body was trembling 37:50 body was completely filled with his own perspiration please note when maha 37:56 vishnu creates universes he also perspires and he sleeps on the ocean of 38:01 his perspiration but he doesn't perspire to such an extent that the whole world drowns 38:08 in his sweat but mahaprabhu has the supreme maha vishnu he creates 38:15 universes of good fortune in our lives by sweating and dancing and crying and 38:20 laughing and that sweat and his tears mixes together and drowns the whole world 38:25 sripad prabhudananda saraswati has said kaivalyam narakate 38:48 he says that by having darshan of mahaprabhu once 38:56 one becomes so much filled with love of godhead that the desire to become god looks like 39:05 hell why would you want to become god there is more pleasure in becoming a devotee because god himself wants to 39:11 become a devotee 39:18 when you take some flowers and you throw it in the air what happens they come down but for 39:24 some moments they are there in the in the air right like when you throw before they hit the top and then come 39:30 down through gravity for some time they are floating in the sky so the proposal of becoming a demigod is 39:37 akasha it's like flowers in the sky it's a temporary position you'll go up stay 39:43 there for some time and shine 39:51 or another meaning is have you ever seen flowers floating in the sky 39:56 no it's an imagination so similarly the the the proposal to become a demigod is 40:02 just a dream we don't want it it's not reality 40:10 the senses of the devotee which were like snakes biting him 40:16 with the desire to enjoy this world are now like snakes around the neck of lord shiva 40:21 they have no venom and they have no teeth but they have become the ornament because through the senses the devotee 40:27 is only serving krishna krishna said 40:33 but the devotee who has praying in his heart living in the world of suffering he only sees joy 40:40 why nacho gao bhakta sang 40:46 oh where is there suffering in an assembly where there is only srimad-bhagavatam and loud singing and 40:53 chanting and dancing of krishna 41:02 and the powers of the demigods are seems like crawling insects on the side of a room 41:09 which means we don't want those mystic siddhis 41:16 he says he has said just by one glance of mahaprabhu when prem comes in the heart 41:24 this is the feeling then sri pad prabhupada saraswati 41:29 and he writes that 41:35 [Music] 41:48 that the whole world drowned in the ocean of love of god when mahaprabhu came 41:54 viswam 42:01 the whole world drowned in joy but as far as i am concerned 42:07 forget about drowning in the ocean even one drop of bhakti didn't touch my heart 42:13 one she tolds me one cheetos there is no doubt there is no doubt 42:19 there is no doubt i have been cheated kali yuga has cheated me given the 42:24 golden avatar and still kept me in the hiding so those who are gauravadis those who 42:30 are gaudius by the blessing of mahaprabhu they will be touched with the pangs of separation 42:37 then kaviraj goswami describes how much separation does mahaprabhu have from krishna 42:43 look at this can anybody describe mahaprabhu's separation from krishna 42:48 maybe anantashesh can describe right because he has thousands of mouths and he has so much ability 42:54 kaviraj goswami describes sahasra 43:04 that even if ananta with thousands and thousands of mouths starts to describe mahaprabhu's bangs of separation 43:14 the separation that mahaprabhu felt from krishna in one day ananta shesh cannot describe because 43:20 anantashesh cannot understand the heart of srimati radharani and experience what separation 43:26 she feels from krishna so naturally even if he has ability and lot of time he will not be able to describe the 43:33 spanx of separation why mahaprabhu is crying why mahaprabhu's laughing why he is jumping 43:41 oh maybe ganesha can right because he has written shastra and we just celebrated 43:47 she and ganesh chaturthi to start with so maybe lord ganesha can kaviraj go swam and describes 44:01 even if millions and millions of yuga's of time are given to 44:06 lord ganesh still he will not be able to describe the pangs of separation the pangs of separation that a devotee feels 44:14 even attracts krishna what to speak of the ability of ananta sheshan ganesh so the next verse says bhakthira 44:25 himself gets astonished when a devotee cries think about it krishna is on the altar 44:31 playing his flute he always receives dandavat pranam but he doesn't experience 44:38 the joy that a devotee feels in offering that dandavat pranam krishna 44:43 is sitting on the altar and eating bhoga but with what mood the devotee is cooking and feeding putting a tulsi on 44:50 the top krishna doesn't know and when pangs of separation increase in the heart 44:56 it attracts krishna to no extent there is absolutely no extent to what a 45:02 devotee can go in separation from krishna actually it is described in the 45:07 life of shilla raghunath das goswami how much separation he felt 45:13 it's beautiful bengali tripadi poetry i hope all of you will enjoy and relish it's very simple to 45:20 understand describing srila raghunath das goswami a very great gaudi version of poet by the 45:26 name radhaval prabhu in the past many many centuries ago he has written radha 45:34 krishna 45:44 again 45:59 broken pieces of rice spoiled rice old rice uncooked rice 46:05 unpolished rice is what he would eat but that is because mahaprabhu was still 46:10 on the planet he could still at least eat that but gauranga be okay when mahaprabhu left anna chadi 46:17 he even left eating rice and palak he only started drinking some milk and 46:25 eating some fruits but that is because sanatana goes for me and rook goes from here on the planet 46:42 he even gave up eating fruits and only accepted drinking water but that is because roop goes mommy was 46:49 still on the planet 46:54 radha 47:00 even gave up drinking water and only loudly called out radha krishna radha krishna radha 47:07 krishna and that sustained his life 47:27 left and his associates also left the only thing raghunathas goswami could do is cry he couldn't even say ragha 47:35 krishna which he was saying before and even when krishna katha was spoken to him his ears shut which means he could 47:42 not see he could not speak he could not hear and uh 47:48 he could only utter half half syllables and cry out instead of saying 47:54 krishna he could only say this was the separation that he was 47:59 feeling on the banks of radha kund and when he would 48:07 have darshan of them again and again lose them he would cry out 49:10 [Music] 49:27 oh [Music] 49:39 [Music] foreign oh karuna my oh most merciful 49:46 manifest manifestation of mercy oh radharani please where are you please give me 49:53 darshan so radharani is asking that 49:58 who is calling me [Music] 50:08 to 50:50 [Music] 51:19 so much separation that kandee goshay raghunathas goswami would cry day and 51:24 night and podi money and he would roll on the floor chana angad 51:30 all the dust of radha kund would be on his body and chakshu and 51:36 because of crying and not eating he became blind and apanara dehobhar he he could feel 51:44 the weight of his own body and veeraha and he was burning every moment in the 51:51 fire of separation 52:01 [Music] 52:12 taking breath even breathing was difficult for him and mukeva now is 52:18 puran he could not speak a word manda mantha jibana day the tongue moved 52:23 very slowly um having darshan having smaran remembrance of krishna in the heart and 52:30 prama ashram nitra per day from his eyes he was constantly crying just like srila prabhupada explains 52:38 that chanting is actually the cry of the jiva for krsna's shelter like a baby cries 52:44 for the mother's milk or the mother's embrace that should have that is the process of 52:50 um spiritual upliftment it is described that the more we cry in separation from 52:56 krishna those tears will wash off our anarthas therefore srila gorgovinda maharaja used to say that bilba mangala 53:03 cried he got krishna dhruva cried he got krishna pralad cried he got krishna 53:08 srila govinda maharaja would say that without crying you cannot get krishna 53:14 and when he opened up the isk on bhubaneshwar temple he said i have actually opened not a temple but a crying school 53:22 bhakti yoga bhakti yoga bhakti yoga dan chaitanya describes the only wealth in this world 53:30 is bhakti yoga and what is bhakti yoga 53:35 smaranakrandan to remember krishna chant his names and cry in separation shayi 53:44 [Music] 53:55 go swami you please fulfill my heart's desire please accept me at your lotus feet and 54:02 give me also some bangs of separation 54:13 that my lord that without tears in separation from you a person is poverty stricken 54:21 what do we have to call ourselves rich only wealth only home only health only 54:26 gadgets what is the value of all this the true wealth anybody can possess 54:32 is shedding tears in separation from krishna not in public for sure but in private 54:40 era going in public and crying and shedding 54:45 some tears in front of the deity and showing everyone oh i'm wiping my tears i'm so great 54:51 those tears will not wipe the anarthas they will increase the unearthers they will increase their earth 54:58 rupa goswami path in one work he writes or radharani just like if someone lifts up 55:04 a bucket of boiling water and if that water spills on the skin then there is a third degree burn 55:10 on the skin so radharani i have hidden my chest 55:16 from everyone with upper cloth why now i will reveal that he says he says the hot 55:22 bucket of tears have fallen on the chest skin 55:28 and there are burn marks on my chest by the hot tears that i have shed in separation from you oh radharani please 55:35 accept me proof goes on for the rights so therefore 55:45 when krishna sees a devotee feeling pangs of separation even krishna gets astonished what to speak of anantha 55:51 shesh and ganesh and others so therefore to experience this separation that the 55:58 devotees feel that radharani feels the final concluding point that kaviraj goswami writes 56:05 please hear this very attentively this is so sweet 56:24 [Laughter] 56:31 the feeling of crying for krishna and jay gati prakar 56:36 at different levels of separation how are they krishna does not understand 56:42 because the devotee jata duke sometimes feels sorrow and cries 56:47 and jatasuka and sometimes feels joy and cries and jatek of vikar and his hair stands 56:53 on end and sometimes he's not even able to say krishna like 57:06 describes even saying jagannath was difficult because a lump of emotions was choking his throat 57:13 so bhakta premiere dosha what dasha of tears the devotee weeps in 57:20 separation from krishna and jay gati prakar and at what level of devotion 57:26 sometimes he feels sorrow jatasuka sometimes he feels joy and jateka vikar 57:31 and his body is going through transformations 57:37 krishna cannot understand this being the supreme lord therefore 57:44 to taste this mood of separation krishna became [Music] 57:52 krishna would 58:09 so krishna knows how it feels but he doesn't know govinda doesn't know how radhika feels 58:17 as govinda virahiname therefore govinda go took the bhava of radhika ra 58:24 and appeared in one anga body and became govindas go and radhika's ra in one anga 58:30 became goranga and then now krishna himself 58:35 in the mood of radha started saying 58:44 so can we display the purport again if possible 6 2 23 prabhupada very beautifully in the end 58:52 of this purport maybe i'll pull it up here yeah i have it so srila prabhupada in the end of the 58:58 poor port i will read the line again which we tried to elaborate in this discussion srila prabhupada says to 59:05 increase his eagerness to glorify the lord that is ajamil's eagerness 59:10 the vishnudutas disappeared so that he would feel separation in their absence in the mode of separation prabhupada 59:17 writes glorification of the lord is very intense gauru priman 59:24 thank you so much for this opportunity if there are any questions or comments 59:30 or corrections or suggestions or improvements of any input 59:36 i would be very happy to to hear from all of you thank you srila prabhupada 59:45 thank you for coming on the call such an ectarian class thank you so much thank you so much from uh 59:51 one ocean of gems you bring us to another version of chance which is chattanooga so beautiful 59:58 uh and you explained that in this short class such a beautiful class 1:00:04 everybody was so enlightening uh just uh one verse in your glorification prabhu 1:00:11 ramayana says 1:00:21 it enlightens you from inside and from outside and your guru maharaj has put that money permanently on your in your 1:00:27 thanks all glories to your guru maharaja to you prabhu thank you so much because 1:00:33 has just taken the metaphor ahead srila prabhupada crossed the ocean on 1:00:41 we know that but at the same time instead of crossing the ocean he jumped into the ocean 1:00:47 of compassion and he went straight down to the bed and opened up the oyster of our hearts 1:00:54 and placed the pearl of krishna bhakti so that money what is placed on the tongue goes into 1:01:01 the stomach into the heart so in the heart oyster raupa has placed the pearl 1:01:06 of bhakti in all of our hearts so all of us 1:01:12 thank you so much thank you so much thank you 1:01:17 with your permission we'll go ahead with the question session our senior his grace 1:01:30 can you hear me now yes yes please thank you very much 1:01:35 and i have the first opportunity of the offering my denver programs to amarendra 1:01:41 who i have heard of so much about him but this is the first time in my life i'm meeting a pure devotee of 1:01:48 propaganda 1:01:57 no that's why i'm hiding you i'm i'm the ajamil really there if you see like that 1:02:04 i am hiding behind you 1:02:09 it was such an exalted experience today i had you know i read bhagavad-gita bhagavatam every day 1:02:15 every day from 1984 i'm initiated like that but it is really a thrill when you experience 1:02:23 bhakti from one heart to another heart that's that's what i felt today and i'm so fortunate for that 1:02:29 i just wanted to quote one slope which comes to my mind 1:02:41 so i have no hope of obtaining love for lord krishna this is beyond my scope but i have 1:02:48 developed little love for superpower all right this is my great fortune 1:02:54 and i feel that if i don't get any any love for higher authorities love for lord krishna 1:03:01 will up for prabhas will suffice and that's my great success of my life and 1:03:06 that's what i wanted to share with all of you thank you madame to all vaishnava vice navis and everyone who has 1:03:13 developed love for surprises 1:03:28 english now 1:03:36 [Music] 1:04:24 i just 1:04:34 you know the name of the lord so in the respawn temple there was some 1:04:39 argument somebody said you cannot say the holy name of krishna is bigger than krishna 1:04:45 prabhupada has never told that it is same if it is more than krishna that means you are undermining krishna but from 1:05:06 if this is okay 1:05:20 so happy 1:05:34 you can see the sixth verse where he speaks about watching and vachacam 1:05:40 two things he talks about the name and the 1:05:45 personality that is krishna and his name and he says 1:05:55 that between the two i proclaim that the holy name is more karuna more merciful 1:06:03 and i can read the translation here you can see this is straight from rupa goswami oh holy name you are manifest in 1:06:10 two forms the supreme person described by the holy name and the sound vibration of the holy name that is krishna and nam 1:06:16 and nami basically we know that the second form is even more merciful than the first 1:06:22 the name is more merciful than the person because although a person may commit many offenses to your first form 1:06:28 that is your person he will still plunge in an ocean of bliss by serving your second with his voice 1:06:37 this is from rupa gosvami if anybody has a problem with it then this verse could be used 1:06:44 we 1:06:57 please 1:07:09 we should always have devotees association but as 1:07:40 foreign 1:08:08 english english please okay so should i translate the question also mataji because the question was asked in hindi 1:08:14 yes okay so the question asked here is uh and 1:08:19 priyanka mataji you can correct me if i didn't understand the question properly um the question 1:08:25 to what i understood was it's not always possible to associate with senior version of us um so whomever we 1:08:31 associate with uh we become friendly with them so what are some things that we should be careful about right in that 1:08:38 association so that we make maximum advancement yes right correct so first and foremost we 1:08:45 may not be able to associate with senior version of us all the time we agree to that as far as in person is concerned 1:08:51 whenever it's possible we should associate but if not possible at least the classes are always 1:08:56 available through social media through you know through bhakti-sanga and java conference 1:09:03 every morning every mid morning every evening all day actually it's available and many senior vaishnavas are 1:09:11 serving classes so it's always available recordings are there not just here but even iscond desire 1:09:17 tree and so many other forums youtube is filled with so many classes from so many temples so that is point number one as 1:09:24 far as senior association is concerned also when we read the books of the senior vaishnavas written by them 1:09:30 we are actually associating with their thought process so this is very important now the second point is when we 1:09:37 associate with devotees first thing that we should be careful about is to stop speaking other subject matters 1:09:44 as much as possible we should hear and speak about krishna by which we will make more advancement this is uh very 1:09:50 important many times what happens is when we although a senior may befriend us and 1:09:56 call us their friend we should never consider them to be just a friend yes a friend also but we should 1:10:02 always be aware that they are advanced you know in age or in experience or in 1:10:08 initiation or realization and therefore as much as possible we should try to hear from them and not advise them the 1:10:16 main pitfall in association is fault-finding and that happens due to over-familiarity 1:10:23 when some association is easily when some association is available in the first place 1:10:29 initial few days we are in awe oh i am so fortunate but then we get used to it 1:10:37 and then instead of hearing from them we hear but we also speak 1:10:42 and then comes a point when we try advising them also because of over familiarity 1:10:48 and we find faults with them srila radhanath explains before 1:10:53 finding faults with anyone comes a stage where we are convinced we are better than them 1:10:58 therefore we are able to see faults so familiarity committing offenses 1:11:05 talking mundane subject matter and criticizing other vaishnavas these things should be avoided even if very senior advanced version of 1:11:12 us um in age or in realization are speaking other topics 1:11:17 uh we may hear them no problem we should not think that oh look they're talking things of this world no we should think 1:11:24 what lessons i can learn out of it but however if some vaisnava is being 1:11:30 criticized even if it comes from the lips of a very advanced vaishnava we should make some excuse and try to leave 1:11:35 that place we should say that mataji this is this is wonderful let's 1:11:41 continue this actually i have a urgent call i'll just quickly finish this call and then i'll continue like that and 1:11:47 then don't come don't get back again so these are some things to be taken care about and one there's only one do and 1:11:54 that is in a respectful manner associate and here enchant about krishna 1:12:06 i have no worries about crossing this world because my mind is always absorbed in the ocean 1:12:13 of your nectarian qualities so these are some things now next few questions we'll keep it 1:12:18 rapid fire property because i have only five minutes and we see about eight hands there 1:12:24 or seven heads sure thank you hari krishna 1:12:30 my question is like in the class today i heard that rather 1:12:38 with yoga we are trying to learn separation but you are teaching us to love krishna so i couldn't get this 1:12:45 point project yeah exact opposite of what you said 1:12:50 that you are teaching us yoga to remember krishna 1:12:56 now our situation is such that we should learn yoga to forget him because this krishna is already there in 1:13:02 our heart the problem is not forgetting krishna for us remembering krishna is the big problem 1:13:08 so don't teach us yoga to remember him if you know some yogic tips by which we can 1:13:14 forget him that you can teach us 1:13:34 actually we sometimes try to avoid the activities which are not according to the 1:13:39 achievement of the deportees right but but due to the uncontrolled mind we 1:13:45 commit those but after committing who is that which is making us feel bad 1:13:52 again and that oh what you have done now uh you have committed an 1:13:58 offense so who is that which is make us feel like this 1:14:06 is 1:14:11 that it is [Music] not the demigods 1:14:18 not the time factor it is not our karma it is not the astrological jyotish graha 1:14:24 nakshatra it is not our neighbor 1:14:31 the one who forces us the same question even arjuna is asking in the bhagavad-gita that 1:14:38 although we know that something is sinful what is that power balad by force 1:14:43 which pushes us and krishna says that it is these are the anarthas 1:14:50 and the mind is the resting place where all of this happens so it is the mind alone who pushes us 1:14:57 and then makes us feel guilty 1:15:06 thank you uh please go 1:15:23 [Music] actually it is a very big thing for me that i am in your zoom it is like a 1:15:30 dream come true as your uh your speeches are like jaladuta which carries shilla prabhupada to hippies 1:15:37 like me and our damn souls what i was i what i wanted to ask that 1:15:42 whenever i uh hear your speeches i understand that krishna prem but it is very higher thing 1:15:50 for beginners like me even the desire of krishna are not available for me 1:15:55 when i chant i sometimes i feel that i don't even have the what 1:16:01 how needed yes i don't remember shri krishna or anything i'm just chanting and sometimes even the words i think i 1:16:08 have not heard them or something so does uh the offenses can help me advance or 1:16:15 what should i do for that 1:16:38 sorry it is supposed to be srimad-bhagavatam class but shashi nandang hari i think has 1:16:43 kidnapped my tongue for the session so 1:17:00 the past pastimes of mahaprabhu gornita deities navdeep dham the names of 1:17:05 mahaprabhu the forms of mahaprabhu aparadha nahimani they don't consider offenses and tariq nippon 1:17:12 they are expert deliverers if one uh chance krishnam then 1:17:18 we have to remember satam ninda all the ten offenses but for gournam it is described 1:17:25 chaitanya nityananda nahi isabechar don't have any of these considerations 1:17:35 even with anarthas in the heart prime will come and pray will come and clean up everything by calling out to gauran 1:17:42 and it is a fact what you said that feeling separation from krishna is a very high 1:17:48 topic but however till the time we don't know of the goal we will never achieve it 1:17:54 if one never discusses about india you will never have a desire to take a flight and go there 1:18:00 or if you never hear about brindavan you will never feel like visiting so even if we are far away from the goal 1:18:06 it is important to at least hear about it so that we can say that oh when will that day come when i 1:18:13 will also experience this prabhupada would say cry for krishna and then if somebody said i don't know how 1:18:18 to cry for krishna then prabhupada would say cry to krishna that i'm not able to cry for you 1:18:25 when we can cry for mundane things think about a father 1:18:30 who has a daughter he himself took care of the daughter 25 years in his life the daughter played on 1:18:37 his lap and he worked so hard for it he himself will find a boy for her 1:18:43 make all the arrangements of the hall take all the expenditure and in olden times even worse he would 1:18:51 even give dowry to the boy and send the girl to the boy's house and then he will 1:18:56 sit and cry we are making so much endeavor and then crying 1:19:01 but that krishna who is there in our heart a super soul lifetime after lifetime tears don't come for him this 1:19:07 is really a very sad state the heart is very steel framed and hard 1:19:12 like a rock that we are ready to cry for people whom we have met 20 years ago 1:19:18 but we are not able to cry for krishna who is there in our heart feeding us 1:19:23 even when we are upside down in our mother's womb tell me who saved us at that time 1:19:29 previous mother gone new mother no relation yet between two mothers also krsna's 1:19:34 embracing just thinking about this will make us tear eyed and moist eyed that 1:19:40 krishna if you start deciding that depending on the quality of your chanting i will send you roti then we 1:19:46 will all die out of hunger but krishna is saying even if you don't 1:19:51 chant properly i will continue to give you your roti even for those who are atheistic krsna's giving breath and 1:19:57 they're using that breath to show that he doesn't exist and he still continues to be their heartbeat and give their 1:20:04 breath in the lungs how much love if we can 1:20:10 feel love and express love to people around us imagine the underlining reality who's 1:20:16 keeping everything going if all the karma of all the sins of all 1:20:23 the bad activities of all our lives if they attack us all together 1:20:28 we will not even be able to survive it is krsna who's already holding all those reactions so that we can perform 1:20:34 bhakti because if all those reactions come bodily mentally emotionally we will be 1:20:40 finished over lifetime jitney karma whatever karma is there if it all attacks us like a thunderbolt in one 1:20:45 minute we are finished but our supreme well-wishing friend krishna is holding all those reactions and telling 1:20:52 the living entity don't worry i am there you chant i will protect you how much we are trying to forget him and 1:21:00 be in this world krishna is trying a million times harder to get us out 1:21:07 it is unfortunate that tears are not coming in the eyes 1:21:15 so at least we can start by hearing about it and then aspire someday our heart will melt 1:21:51 how can i fix it no problem the mind is like a horse right the horse in the in the class we 1:21:57 were mentioning the mind is like a horse and the horse cannot be kept like a cow it loves to run so let it run but just 1:22:03 put the fencing that it must be krishna conscious think of different deities no problem think of spiritual master no 1:22:10 problem different paintings pictures no problem places in brindavan no problem shlokas no problem stories in shastra no problem 1:22:17 not that you're making an endeavor but if the mind is trying to go somewhere try to try to think of krishna no 1:22:23 problem but don't fix it that it must be only at radharan or must be at the feet of only like you know this story or 1:22:29 whatever let the horse of the mind run but put the fencing that it must be krishna conscious that's all 1:22:58 me and my husband both from pune we have been listening to your lectures and you people like you have been our source of 1:23:03 inspiration uh probably my question is not related to the topic but something different uh we have a five-year-old 1:23:08 daughter and i just wanted to understand from you was it ever overwhelming for you to you know uh go to the temple uh 1:23:16 you you know you stayed in thani and going to going all the way almost every weekend and then 1:23:22 obviously your parents would have seva uh in the temple was it ever overwhelming for you and your 1:23:28 brother uh and how did uh and what what some practical tips that you would like to 1:23:33 give how how to make her understand the balance between her spiritual life and you know material life 1:23:39 thank you professor very great hi krishna first of all by saying that you're from pune 1:23:45 i i was smiling because his grace radhesham prabhu is going to be here today 1:23:50 so so it's like you being in pune you're thinking of 1:23:57 atlanta but in atlanta you're thinking of pune because coming here and we are all very excited to hear krishna katha 1:24:03 from a very advanced vaishnava of his calibur so now regarding 1:24:08 inspiring children to come to the temple anything that is fun kids will do 1:24:14 so find something fun in the temple for her maybe mangalarti is not fun for her 1:24:21 maybe class is not fun for her uh maybe some coloring books are fun 1:24:26 like my mother used to get me lot of coloring books and i used to sit in color even in the middle of a bhagavatam 1:24:31 class i remember and many times i used to like those books so 1:24:36 so much that after coloring them once i would tell my mother get that same book again so because i wanted to color them 1:24:42 color it again i remember those books so my ears would be listening the class and 1:24:47 i would be coloring and sometimes i would drop and listen if it's an exciting story but if it's something 1:24:52 that i don't understand then i continue to color another attraction for me was the prasadam 1:24:58 you know so and i'm pretty sure many devotees are 1:25:04 there with me even now positively vouching yes prasadam 1:25:09 so making the visits fun is what i would say another thing is i 1:25:15 loved to play the murdanga in my childhood so what my parents would do is many times during the bhagavatam class 1:25:21 they put me to a muradanga teacher so i would go to the temple because i 1:25:27 would learn newer mantras mantras so that would be a motivation 1:25:32 meeting senior devotees who in fact i remember there used to be a brahmacharya called preem kishore prabhu many years 1:25:38 before in my childhood i think now he's in calcutta if i'm not wrong so what he or she should prove i 1:25:45 take that back he what he would do is i would go into his office he would take 1:25:51 care of the sankirtana office in juhu and i would say prabhuji i have come to collect tax 1:25:57 i would say that i would joke with him and he would say so what is the tax and i would say you have to give me a 1:26:02 krishna picture every time i meet you that's the tax so he being in the sankirtana office he would have a lot of 1:26:07 calendars and table calendars wall calendars so he would get all those pictures 1:26:13 and he was kind to me and he would give me one sandesh mahaprasad sweet and one picture of 1:26:20 krishna which i would you know keep to myself and have a collection so we have to find what attracts the child and it 1:26:27 would be different things for male female and depending on their age so we have to find what attracts them and make 1:26:34 that fun if we put anushas in that hey you have to sit in a class you have to 1:26:39 do this get up for mangalati look that girl is getting up for mangalathi she's also five years old what is that that 1:26:45 the mother there is giving that i don't give you many times parents speak like that and it's not very motivating 1:26:52 so we want to inspire the child and make krishna conscious fun so these are some things of course 1:27:00 there are others who can give parenting seminars but on the basis of whatever i have 1:27:05 experienced and i've seen my parents give me is what i try to share 1:27:10 thank you beautiful thank you very beautiful so raj prabhu maybe we can 1:27:16 conclude at this point because i have some commitments afterwards as as you say hundred percent as as you as you 1:27:21 wish people thank you so much yeah 1:27:27 i just
