It does not matter whether 1 is a man or a woman.

Anyone who in great respect hears this narration of Mahasweta will become the father of many children.

He will have children and will become the richest of men and he is without money.

The theologic persons are very fond of money and great families, worship different demigods to attain their desires, especially goddess Durga, Lord Shiva and Lord Rama.

Such materialistic persons are called Sri-Yajurvarya, Prajapatavaha.

Sri means beauty, Yajurvarya means witches, Prajapatavaha means children and Prajapatavaha means desiring.

As described in the second canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, 1 has to worship various demigods for different types of benedictions.

However, here it is indicated that 1 can have both riches and children in enormous quantities.

Here it is indicated, certainly by hearing

life and character of Mahāspiritu, 1 can have both bridges and children in enormous quantities.

1 simply has to read and understand the history, the life and activities of Mahāspiritu.

It is advised that 1 read them at least 3 times.

Those who must hear the effective will be so benefited by hearing of the Supreme Lord and His devotee and need not go to any demigod.

The word, su-pra-jata-mah, so many children, is very significant in its verse.

1 may have many children, but many may not be qualified children.

However, here it is stated that su-pradattamah, that all children must attain to be qualified in education, will, beauty and strength, everything complete.

So here it's by hearing the life and character of Mahāsī Puruṣa, 1 can hear everything.

So 1 may say, but what about worshipping Kṛṣṇa?

I've heard that worshipping Kṛṣṇa who is the God of the Gods you get all benefits.

But actually it's stated if you want to be a devotee of Krishna the proper way is to become a devotee of the devotee of Krishna.

Krishna is not so pleased when we worship him directly.

Just like We offer our beggings of the spiritual master.

We have the prabhapada vyas, puja celebration.

Krishna wants to see how much you are the devotee of the devotee.

In fact, we hold a whole asypitic session.

When you worship the spiritual master, you are worshipping him, his guru, his guru, his guru, all the way up top, all these great acharyas that you worship.

Actually you have that list in the Bhagavad Gita.

Amazing, that when you worship the spiritual master, here's mercy you get.

It's a very, very wonderful thing to worship the spiritual master.

You worship, you know, of course, nowadays we have 33.

Papa, many of papa's disciples have also taken the service of spiritual masters so when you worship 33 then you worship 32 AC Bhakti-Siddhanta Swami-Prabhupada, 31 Bhakti-Siddhanta Sarasvati, 30 Gorkha Shor, 29, Bhaktivinoda, 28, Jagannatha, 27, Viswanatha, 26, Narasamha, 25, Krishnadasa, 24, Raghunatha, and Jiva Goswami, 23, Rupa Goswami, 22, Lord Chaitanya goes on

and on through the whole list all the way to Krishna number 1.

So just imagine, you just worship Krishna, he's not so pleased.

And when you worship the spiritual master, you get the mercy of all these whole list all these great Acharis.

They're worshipping, they're getting their blessings, they're worshipping the bonified spiritual master.

So that's why it says here to hear the life and character of Maharaja prithu.

And then you get everything in full abundance.

And even the children you have will be all qualified.

They won't be ordinary children like the, like karmic children.

So that, please know, those of you who are studying the Bhagavatam, go over this portion of the Bhagavatam, the life and character of Maharaja Prithu, go over it 3 times.

It does not matter whether 1 is a man or a woman, in England with great respect here this narration might as put to, I don't want to make him the father of many children, he is without children and would become the richest of men, even if he is without money.

So everybody is looking for money, isn't it?

They go for what kind of job I can get to make the most money or what kind of business I can start to make the most money.

It's like this Bezos who started Amazon became 1 of the richest people.

Everybody is looking for money, money, money, money, money.

They don't realize that actually money doesn't buy happiness.

How much money can you take with you at the time of death?

How many rupees, how many dollars, how many pesos, how many euros?

You can't take anything with you at the time of death.

So therefore the intelligent person thinks, well, what can I take with me at the time of death?

What kind of riches can I take at the time of death?

There's only 1 type of riches you can take at the time of death and that is called Krishna consciousness.

So therefore when you come to Krishna consciousness you become the wealthiest person in the whole world because now you have a treasure that can stay with you eternally.

Even if you don't perfect it in this lifetime, let's say you get 97% Krishna conscious before you leave your body.

Your next lifetime, no 1 should start with 0.

No, you start up at 97% in your next lifetime.

So whatever spiritual advancement you make, it's your eternal asset.

Even if you fall down and become a prostitute or whatever it may be, like that of Jami.

Even if you become completely degraded, I have so many god brothers that didn't make it.

I'm just thinking of 1 god that was a parasha of those.

Maybe he lasted about 1 year and then he's gone, unfinished.

But whatever advancement he made in that 1 year of devotional service, it's eternal assets, never lost.

So where is any other kind of asset you can accumulate that is eternal benefit?

Somebody becomes a famous rock singer like the Beatles for example.

In their next lifetime does that same go with them?

No 1 even knows that they were a beetle in their previous life.

Who knows whether he's even a human being?

If he is a human being, he says, oh there's John Lennon the great beetle.

Your fame is finished, your followers are finished, your wealth is finished, you take nothing with you at the time of death, only you can take whatever spiritual advancement you have made.

Therefore those who are intelligent, they think, let me accumulate the greatest asset, let me accumulate as much Krishna consciousness as I can possibly get.

Well, how do you accumulate Krishna consciousness?

Hearing about Krishna, talking about Krishna, remembering Krishna, serving Krishna, serving the spiritual master, serving the Vaishnavas, worshipping the Tulasi tree, all these things accumulate our spiritual asset, the bhakti.

So go for bhakti, go for bhakti, go for bhakti, that is the pathway of those who are actually intelligent, not the foolish people who are after material things.

Because they don't even realize that they're spiritual beings.

They think, I'm this body, therefore let me get as much gratification of these senses as possible before death takes it all away.

It's a great tragedy because here they are eternal associates of Krishna and there's a transcendental pastimes in the spirit.

The world totally captured by maya, totally absorbed in bodily consciousness.

So here's the beauty of the whole thing of Krishna Gandhi's movement.

Deep within our heart, deep, deep, deep within our heart, everyone actually knows I'm eternal servant of Krishna.

We don't need to water it down to make it attractive to people.

It's okay to smoke cigarettes or it's okay to go to a prostitute every now and then.

We don't need to water it down to make it attractive to more and more people.

No, keep it exactly as it is, Bhagavad Gita as it is, Krishna consciousness as it is, because everyone will ultimately be attracted.

The whole world will ultimately be attracted because it's bringing us back to our actual identity.

Deep within your heart you are actually a Christian of the eternal serpent.

Present it purely as it is and people will be attracted.

He was going on a pilgrimage from Bengal to Jagannath Puri.

They were going down the road when the dog started tagging along with them.

He was just a stray dog and he decided to join the pilgrimage.

And they came to the river and they didn't have bridges.

He had to pay the boatman a fee and the dog jumped in the boat.

The boatman said, no, I can take this dog for free.

Somebody has to pay him to go across the river.

So she and I said, okay, he paid for the dog also.

And then, actually, across the river, the dog disappeared.

He was there sitting in the lotus field of Lord Jetsun Yamadru.

And Lord Jetsun was throwing him some coconut salt, and the dog was going, hit it, hit it.

And then the dog died and he actually achieved his original form of the spiritual world.

So actually, every living entity, Krishna's eternal servant, Even the grasshopper, the squirrel, the tree, the cactus plant, every single living entity, everything that has life is actually the eternal servant of Krishna.

So when you do the kirtan, they all benefit.

It's like there's a mithun ant calling on the floor during the Bhagavatam.

That ant is actually Krishna's eternal servant.

By hearing the vibration of the Bhagavatam, of the Hare Krishna kirtan, that little ant is purified.

He's going back, he's getting spiritual assets.

Even when we go on the street and we chant Hare Krishna, the atheist walks by and hears the kirtan and goes like this, but he heard it.

He had to close his ears, oh those Hare Krishnas, why do they bother me?

Even that atheist has gotten spiritual assets.

And that will accumulate and finally you come out and become a vision of a woman.

So we should take this process of great enthusiasm and determination and patience.

We've been caught up since time immemorial in this cycle of birth and death.

We're addicted to sense gratification, laziness, craziness, sense enjoyment.

We're addicted like anything to these madness, madness, so it's difficult to get out of addiction.

It's like I have 1 disciple, he's having a hard time giving up cigarettes, but he's working on it, He's addicted to cigarettes.

So we have this addiction to material sense gratification.

We have this addiction to thinking, I am the center.

We have an addiction to thinking we're the center.

Therefore we don't like someone reminding us we're

They actually want to deny God's existence.

The atheists say there is no cause of all causes.

But Krishna says, the shastras say sarva-karana-karanam, on the original cause of all causes.

Isvara-hara, paramaha, krsna-hara, sattva-cala-nanda-vigraha, anadir-adir-gobhinda, sarva-karana-karanam.

He is the origin of all, and he is the prime cause of all causes.

The atheist might accept the prime cause of all causes as an invention of causality.

All these dominoes together, line them up and you know the domino theory.

So those square blocks you put a bunch of them in a line, and 1 of them knocks and goes, shoo, and all down the line.

So they say there's no original domino, there's an infinite chain of dominoes.

Even if you have an infinite row of dominoes, unless 1 can fall over on its own, nothing happens.

Even if an infant rubbed dominoes, there has to be 1 domino that can fall over on its own accord without being pushed.

Otherwise, they just stand there and nothing happens.

So this argument of the atheist is easily deceived.

Because we say, all right, an infinite chain of causality, but something has to start on its own.

Something has to start the motion on its own without being caused.

There has to be a cause that is not caused otherwise nothing happens.

We can prove it by rub, if it involves dominoes.

If 1 of those dominoes falls over on its own, nothing happens at all.

So we can defeat these vassal atheists with logic and with shastra.

And even logic, by logic and philosophy you can defeat these vassal atheists.

We should not be led by this atheistic civilization

engaged in horrible sinful activities, cow killing.

Cows are meant to be protected just like my disciple Nitai Chandra in Bulgaria had a very nice farm.

He sent me some photographs that will be coming out soon in thoughts of the day.

Beautiful photographs of the cows, the little calf, the cow grazing, the cows going to the forest looking for food.

It gives us good health by drinking the milk, gives us also tasty things like ice cream and yogurt and shrikhand and so many nice things from the cows.

So these bhaktas are killing the cows, you see.

But any, Prabhupada explains that any civilization engaged in cow killing is doomed.

That's very faithful, simple, than your own mother.

You see you have your first mother giving you breast milk, and your first mother's breast milk dries up and you take them out of your second mother.

So any civilization that kills the mother, they are doomed.

Eventually the civilization will fall down.

They'll become like savages in the jungle, trying to survive in the jungle like savages.

The automobiles, the internet, all these fancy machines, all the big cities and the cars, all this thing will be finished and become savages and barbarians.

And living in the jungles of Iowa being like savages in the jungle scouting for food, begging to kill an animal so they can eat something.

That's where we're heading, by this cow-killing.

So we try to convince these mouse to stop cow-killing, but they're so addicted to the taste of meat.

Ham McDonald's and all this nonsense going on.

It just makes me sick when I see these billboards advertising hamburgers.

It's like a knife in my heart when I see these horrible billboards advertising hamburgers.

I just want to cry actually when I see them.

Killing their own mother and thinking, oh, how nice it is eating the flesh of my mother.

We know what is the actual solution to the problems of the world and we pray to that day that they will actually listen to us, they'll actually take guidance from us on how they can keep this civilization going on and make it better and better and better instead of completely destroying those civilizations.

So we have a few minutes left of the ending of a very early day.

Any questions coming in from the local devotees here?

Any questions coming in from the internet?

How to decide that kids are not, they're a great asset, but the 1 who makes 1 die old early.

If the child is a great devotee, he will not make you...

Of course, if 1 passes too much semen, you become old early.

If he's overindulgent passing semen, then your death will become much quicker.

So if I see that in our studies, I'm prepared to have sex life 100 times if I can make saintly children.

So our standard is we have sex once in a month, 4 to 6 days after the wife's menstrual cycle.

a man can have sex life, but having children it doesn't, and that has a religious sex life.

Just like in the Vedic culture it's called Garbhodamsamskara, the whole ritual, the Brahmins will be called, the mantras will be chanted, it's a whole ritual.

Now my wife and I are going to try to have a child, we're going to have sexual intercourse so they don't do it as whimsically as the whole yajna before they have sexual intercourse to purify it.

So Baba gave us a simplified version of the Garbhodaamsaamskara.

The husband and wife both chant at least 50, that's 5 0 not 1550, at least 50 rounds of japa and then they have sexual intercourse.

So 1 follows that principle of sex only once in a month after 15 rounds of Joppa.

Sex life will not deplete his life energy because that's religious sex life.

But when overindulgence in sex life because you're feeling really lusty, you want to satisfy a lusty desire, that sex life will definitely make you die much earlier.

So if you have children according to religious principles, then having children will not make you die earlier.

So, Bapuzin Sheila, of course, Bapuzin said sex is troublesome.

There's a lot of trouble having children.

The crying, the cleaning, the diapers, the stool.

If 1 can avoid it altogether, that's a great victory for him.

But if 1 has that desire, then 1 can also fulfill that desire.

Bhakti-sandhya-sarvajna is authorized and taught by His author.

If there is any bhajan or specific prayer from scriptures that stop the mind talking.

Actually, Bhakti-Nisala, every Hare Krishna mantra is the best 1.

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

Every single verse of the Bhagavad Gita, Shri Nisala Bhagavatam, Chaitanya Chakravarti, every single paragraph, every paragraph and sentence in the Bhagavata books, all the greatest medicines for stopping the mind from wandering like a crazy idiot.

Krishna, how does 1 see and accept him in their original position?

We know that even that dog walking down the street, we just understand philosophically that dog is Krishna's eternal servant, the duty of sinful activities, now I'm taking the body of a dog.

It's through the scriptures we see this thing.

Lita Manjari, does one's spiritual progress depend on level?

Actually, Krishna Gana doesn't mean austerity.

Austerity is used but Krishna Gana means how much you've developed, how much your heart becomes soft by chanting Hare Krishna.

How much more soft it becomes harder in chanting the holy names.

Softness of heart is a measure, not austerity.

Well, we have to start farm communities, cow protection communities.

Yeah, we have to have, my disciples in Bulgaria, they have a farm, we have to vote in, we need to have more and more cow protection communities in Iskom.

And those who are doing it, we support them and help them.

In case I'm able to go to a local ISKCON temple for personal service and how to make up, well, serve it Krishna in the home.

I have a nice kutti with Krishna, I have a nice arati ceremony, I study scriptures, etc.
