So, today we are reading from Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 4, Chapter 25, Text 42.

SRIYANASADZAD BHUJAYO MAHABHUJAM YONATTA VARGA DIMALAM GRANOTATHA Mahabhujam Yonatavargadhamalam Granodhatam Smilnalo Kena Shagat Yopohitam Kasyam

E Lokath Bhogi Bhoga Yo You are Bhuvi in this world.

Bhagyabhugayo, like the body of a serpent.

Bhujayo by the arms Mahabhuja, almighty armed.

1 who, anantavarga, of poor women like me, at him, distresses of the mind, alam ebo, inaudita, by aggressive mercy.

Translation in Purport by Your Divine Grace Sheila Prabhupada.

O Mighty Armed who in this world will not be attracted by your arms just like the bodies of serpents?

Actually you believe the distress of hubbubless women like us by your attractive smile and your aggressive mercy.

that you are travelling on this earth only to do good to us.

Aggressive man she takes this action to be mercy.

A woman is generally very much attracted by a man's long arms.

A serpent's body is round and it becomes narrower and thinner at the end.

The beautiful arms of a man appear to a woman just like serpents.

She very much desires to be embraced by such arms.

The word Anatta Varga is very significant in this verse.

Anatta means husband and A means without.

A young woman who has no husband is called Anatta meaning 1 who is not protected.

As soon as a woman attains the age of puberty, she immediately becomes very much agitated by sexual desire.

It is therefore the duty of the father to get his daughter married before she attains puberty.

Otherwise, she'll be very much mortified by not having a husband.

Any woman who satisfies her desire for sex at that age becomes a great object of satisfaction.

The psychological fact that a woman at the age of puberty meets a man and the man satisfies her sexually, she will love that man for the rest of her life regardless of who he is.

Thus so called love in the material world is nothing but sexual satisfaction.

Deve Golwani Pracharinai Nirdishesha Sunyavadi Paschachare Shathabai Nithyanandeshwara Samaarambhaam Nithyanandeshwari Madhyamaam Nithyanandeshwari Madhyamaam So, Talbot explains here, a woman without a husband is attacked by an aggressive man.

In the previous purport, Prabhupada calls this rape.

People say Prabhupada is saying women like to be raped.

But Prabhupada is saying rape or aggressive mercy not in the sense of the modern day civilization.

He is speaking in terms of the Vedic culture.

In other words, in the Vedic culture, if you seduce a woman, by your techniques, that is considered aggression, because in the Vedic culture, that's, things are forbidden.

The very culture of sex is only for procreation.

Sometime in an idea, ISKCON is the idea that you're married.

You can have sex for fun whenever you want to have sex.

But Srila Prabhupada very clearly explains in many places, the proper standard for having sex life in married life, is number 1 you get the blessings of your spiritual master to try to have a child.

The second thing as you wait once a month, 4 to 6 days after the woman's menstrual cycle.

Now husband and wife bow and chant at least 50 rounds of japa.

This is Srila Prabhupada's equivalent of what's called Garbhadana Samskara.

Some devotees argue that, well, Prabhupada said illicit sex means sex outside of marriage.

Shrila Prabhupada says that Avahitamaya Lankiyatah is only done outside of marriage.

Shrila Prabhupada often says that Avahitamaya Lankiyatah is only done outside of marriage.

an unlawful relationship, you should not have sex outside

So, with that, devotees think that sex inside the womb is okay.

But there they like saying, well, Prabhupada says no meat eating.

That's all he says, no meat eating, period.

Now, rarely does he say no fish and no eggs.

The point is we should very carefully understand what are the instructions of the spiritual master.

We should not interpret them in such a way to justify sense gratification.

Krishna very clearly states in Bhagavad Gita,

contemplating objects of the senses, 1 becomes attracted to them.

And so, by contemplating objects of the senses, 1 becomes attracted to them.

When memory is devoted, intelligence is lost.

And when intelligence is lost, bloop, 1 falls down again to the material pool.

So we have to not contemplate the obvious of the senses.

A husband should not be lusting after his wife's body.

Nor should the wife be lusting after the husband's body.

These things described here are the positions of the materialist.

Not that we use house of life as a facility for sense enjoyment.

Because he uses sex only for procreation.

He is grihamedhi, materialistic householder.

In Sanvedi culture we have brahmachari, grihastha, vanaprastha, sanyasa.

In every order 1 is meant to give up sex life.

Grahastha has some concession for sex pleasure, but only for getting children.

If there is no sex, then human species will go extinct.

When the old people die, there will be nobody to take their place.

We should not misuse the concession for sex.

Actually if we take this process properly, by cultivating Krishna consciousness, then we develop a taste better than sex pleasure.

The embodied soul may be restricted in sense enjoyment.

Though the taste of sense object remains, but ceasing such engagements like experiencing a higher taste, it is fixed in consciousness.

that cookbook, higher He is fixed in consciousness.

Now the Mayavadis, they say taste is false.

So the point is chanting Hare Krishna, if you do it properly, is better than sex.

Rupa Goswami says, I do not know how much nectar these 2 syllables Krishna has produced.

Because when I chant Krishna's name, there's so much nectar, my mouth can't hold it up.

And when that name Krishna enters the holes of my ears, what these 2 little ears can hold.

And when Krishna, you see, Krishna and his name are the same.

The same Krishna who lifted Govardhana Hill 5000 years ago comes to you and He blesses you with his sangha.

What could be more enlivening than that than Krishna's association?

And then when Krishna dances in the courtyard of my heart, my senses completely used to do.

My mind is no longer dancing here and there, where is some enjoyment, can I get enjoyment here, can I get enjoyment, where can I get the enjoyment?

Because I have something better than all of these material things.

When you give yourself to Krishna, Krishna gives himself to you.

And you give yourself to Krishna, he becomes your personal property.

When you give yourself to Krishna now you become the owner of Krishna.

And there is nothing like that anywhere in the material world.

You may be a king with thousands of palace maidens to enjoy sex life.

Or you may have billions and billions of dollars like Bezos.

So we have a special process for attaining Krishna.

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

So when you become a member of this con, we will train you how to become the owner of Krishna.

And you become the most famous, powerful, happy person in all of existence.

With a whole mountain on his little finger, now

So my dear ladies and gentlemen, my dear Prabhus and Madanjis and kids, please don't cheat yourself.

You're running after sense gratification.

In the eastern sense, we have engaged in becoming a monkey.

Running here, running there, you see monkeys.

The human life is not meant to become like a monkey or a dog.

So, not deprive yourself of the ultimate perfection of existence.

Do you know how many lifetimes you've gone through to get this human body?

You are a dog, a monkey, a tree, a cactus plant,

After millions and millions of lifetimes.

my dear listeners, have gotten a human birth in the holy land, India.

Do you know the demigods in the heavenly planets?

They are waiting for their opportunity when they can take birth in the holy land of India and China.

So please don't use your Indian birth to become high tech.

Use your Indian birth to follow in the footsteps of the great sages, The great Acharyas, Ramanujacharya, Vishnuswami, Madhvacharya, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu himself, the 6 Goswamis, Rupa Sanatana Bhattaranganath, Jiva Goswami Bhattaranganath, Gopal Bhattaranganath, Take advantage of your human birth to take shelter of the bona fide spiritual master, Come initiated by the bona fide spiritual nature and give your whole life to serve as every order taking them as your very life and soul.

Because If you do that, you will not be living in this

You will be situated beyond this material existence.

Because the whole spiritual world is right there within your heart.

All you have to do is tune in, turn on and bliss out.

Come to this platform, become Krishna's spiritual buddy, Don't waste your time running around your sense gratification.

Become 1 of the most happy, most peaceful,

knowledgeable persons in all of existence.

All you have to do is take the instructions of the Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam and you will be alive and solemn.

Narottam is distributing this in his Namahat marketplace,

Marketplace means you have to pay something, right?

If you have your faith you can bargain with Lord Nithyananda.

He will bargain with you and he will give you this mercy.

So take advantage of the mercy my dear Babus, Madhavjis and kids.

Don't remain bodied in the cycle of birth and death.

Guru Madhavji and I have come all the way from America

Don't take it in 1 and out the other, out the other side.

Take it in both ears and deep, deep, deep within

And if you do so, your lives will be unlimitedly sublime.

So Guru Maharajji, would you like to add some points?

Shrila Prabhupada said we have to chant 24 hours a day.

When we converse with other person, How can we follow that instruction?

When you converse with other people, you have to see how you

Just like we got off the air, we flew from Delhi here to Trivandrum.
