Tathā hayau dandashukā, serpā nāgaśyata-taśyakam, vidāyavatsum duḍhavur, vidapate duṣampriyā.

Tathā, similarly, akhaya, ahaya, snakes without hoods.

Dandashuka, scorpions, serpa, cobras, naga, big snakes, chub, and tustukums, tukshaka, chief of the snakes, big snakes and T'xaka, chief of the snakes, lit high on making.

But some calf, doo-doo-doo, melt out, mi'lapatre, in the pot of snake holes.

Translation in Purple, by His Divine Grace, Om Vishnu Pad Palamahamsa Parivrtta Chandra Ashtakarasatashiv Shri Madhye Sivaktiva Dantatri Dandika Smali Maharaj Prabhupada Ki Jaya!

Thereafter cobras and snakes without hoods, large snakes, scorpions and many other poisonous animals took poison out of the planet Earth as their milk and kept this poison in snake holes.

Within this material world there are various types of living entities.

And the different types of reptiles and scorpions mentioned in this verse are also provided with their sustenance by the arrangement of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The point is that everyone is taking in eatables from planet Earth.

According to one's association with the material qualities, 1 develops a certain type of character.

If 1 feeds a serpent milk, the snake will simply increase his venom.

However, if 1 supplies milk to a talented sage or a saint, the sage will develop finer brain tissues of which he can contemplate higher spiritual life.

Thus the Lord is supplying everyone food, but according to the living entity's association with the most material nature, the living entity develops its specific character.

Sri Guru Vaishnavamshita Sri Rupam Sagrajaatam.

So, I I'm especially enlivened by this statement that Prabhupada made here, however if 1 supplies milk to a talented sage or saint, the sage will develop finer brain tissues of which he can contemplate higher spiritual life.

Remind me how Prabhupada instituted this kind of hot milk prasadam.

In the Theravada, You know, little babies we would fed milk, but big girls we basically gave up milk.

But then when Prabhupada came and taught us how to be devotees, he had us all drinking the hot milk in the evening.

That was the standard in the Iskcon ashrams.

Hot milk in the evening, hot milk prasadam.

When I drink the milk I often think how horrible it is that they are killing the cows.

So we really have to beg Krishna that we can put a stop to these meticulous slaughterhouses killing our mothers.

Here we are, we give up the best knock of our first mother, we take the best knock of our second mother.

So how, we wouldn't think of killing our first mother would we?

So we have to put a stop to these slaughterhouses.

It's very important that we give proper respect to the cow.

We establish cow protection communities also.

So developing finer brain tissues for what purpose?

Well, first of all it means spiritual life is higher.

Spiritual life is higher, material life is lower.

So how does 1 actually develop spiritual life?

By drinking milk, prasadam, hot milk prasadam, but then you also drink in the teachings of Bhagavatam, Bhagavad Gita, Chaitanya Charita, etc.

Hearing, hearing, hearing, hearing, what do you do after hearing?

Then you chant Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Hare Hare.

This way actually the brain becomes so charged with bhakti.

Right now our brain is charged with lust, anger, greed, madness, illusion and envy.

The mind is there but the brain is on the gross level and the mind is on the subtle level but they are very closely connected, the brain and the mind.

So we want to keep our brain in very good condition by drinking the milk, put our mind in very good condition by hearing about Krishna, talking about Krishna, meditating on Krishna, that amazing personality of Krishna.

He appeared, amazing how he appeared 5000 years ago, How he manifested in the prison of Kamsa, you can imagine.

Suddenly he would suck her breast and put poison.

But Krishna was not affected by the poison, he sucked out her life.

She was screaming, child leave me, leave me, leave me.

You see, all the demons they just, they were like merging into Brahman.

She became a mother of Krishna in the spiritual world.

A demon came as a mother but she had a special boon that the other demons didn't get.

Mother Earth and the Mother is very important in Vedic culture.

Can you imagine being born in the family of a pure devotee?

Chris, you'd have to be very highly qualified.

Somebody is born in the family of the Pure Devotees.

It's all by our previous activities, by whatever mentality we had, we left our previous body, that's why we got this 1.

So that's why you want to cultivate the mentality of Krishna consciousness.

How to be completely absorbed in Krishna consciousness 24 hours a day.

Engage your mind always in thinking of me.

Offer obeisance and worship me being completely absorbed in me.

So we don't want to water it down, we want to keep it pure, exactly as Prabhupada had given to us.

If we mix in sense gratification, It pollutes the whole thing.

There's a very nice prayer I wanted to share with you.

This is actually a song by Narottam Das Tarkur.

This shows how we can cultivate Krishna Consciousness within our heart.

It's amazing that this is called Zipra Lumbaseva, serving in separation.

Actually love in meaning is very sweet but in separation it becomes even more intense.

The pain of separation enhances the feelings of love.

Even in the chair brothers concept, when I was a little kid there was a popular song on the radio called Sealed with a Kiss.

Because he was away from his girlfriend, it had been a long and lonely summer.

And they said every day I send you letters sealed with a kiss.

So the idea of love and separation becomes more intense.

So Narottam has written a very nice song on this connection.

When will that opportune moment come to me?

When there will be shivering of the body as soon as I chant Lord Garanga's name.

And after shivering while chanting Hare Krishna, when will there be tears pouring down from my eyes?

He is thanking for the awakening of pure love of God within his heart when his body will shiver chanting Gauranga and chanting Hare Krishna, the tears come pouring down.

He is wondering when will that day come to me?

Then he says, Arka bheni tai chandu karuna hoi bhe, samsara pa sanam ho, kam betu cha bhe.

And then he says, And when will Lord Nithyananda bestow his causeless mercy upon me so that my desire for material enjoyment will become very insignificant?

Then while I get that mercy of Lord Nithyananda so all my material desires become 0.

Vishaya chadiya kabe shudha bheemana Shuddhiya Kabe Shuddha Bheemana Gavdehamahe Rabho Sri Vrndavana When my mind is completely purified, being free from material anxieties and desires, then I should be able to understand Vrndavana and the conjugal love of Radha and Krishna and then my spiritual life will be successful.

What does it mean to understand Vrindavan?

We go to Vrindavan, Guru Maharaj Ji I've been going there every year, practically every year we go to Vrindavan.

I am not just, you know, an interesting place for pilgrims.

A lot of things happening in the kirtans and classes.

You got to go deep, deep, deep and actually understand Vrindavan is non-different from Sri Krishna.

And that Krishna's pastimes are still happening there right now for those who are eyes that see them.

This is how you actually understand Vrndavana.

Then he continues, Rupa Raghunatha Pade, Haibeya Koti, Kambeha Mabhoja Vase, Jugala Prati.

When shall I be very much eager to study the books loved by the 6 Goswamis?

1 has to learn the conjugal loving affairs of Radha and Krishna in the teachings of these Sikh Goswamis.

So for us, this kind of what we can say, why are you not very eager to study the books of Srila Prabhupada?

Why not become very, very eager to study the books of Srila Prabhupada, so I can understand what is the science, I can truly understand what is the science of Krishna consciousness.

Right now I have no attraction, I just want to go to sleep.

But when will that day come when I spit at the thought of sleeping and I just want to go deep, deep, deep into these books that she recalls.

When will that day come, this fallen rascal, so I can get out of my head and actually develop a taste for reading these books.

To see this mood and how we can train ourselves to cultivate this kind of a mood.

Rupa Raghunatha Pade Ramara Asa Prarthana Kuruye Sada Narottama Das Narottama Das always longs for Manika, lotus feet, of Sri Rupa and Raghunatha Goswami.

So for us, I always remain at the lotus feet of my beloved spiritual master.

That's my desire, always remain at his lotus feet.

Not that well, my Guru is a little bit too heavy, this other Guru is a little more loose, I think I'll switch Gurus.

Because this Guru is, my Guru mind is too heavy, He's always, he's doing this wrong and that wrong.

But if I agree with him, he's always flattering me.

I say, shh, here come his disciples, Swiss Guru.

That might mean always the lotus feet of my beloved spiritual master.

Right now, I just want to run here and there after sense gratification.

I just want to remain completely planted, devoted to my Guru Maharaj.

With no desire I get to please him, but my every thought, word and deed in all times, places and circumstances.

So we have a lot to learn from Narottam, a lot to learn from him.

How to cultivate the mood, how to get out of Maya.

Stop being such idiots, such rascals, you know.

Eating, sleeping, mating and defending is our only business.

When will that day come when we can actually wake up?

So this is the great mercy of Srila Prabhupada, how he came here with such great austerity to begin this movement.

As I have been many times saying, he didn't even think he would be successful.

But I must make the endeavor because this is the order of my spiritual master.

This night I've been ordered to make our, Papa personally ordered me to make our Austin Center a grand success, a direct order from Prabhupada to me.

So whether it was successful or not, it doesn't matter in one's end.

What matters is that we continue to endeavor to make it a success.

And if we have that endeavor, that mood, there is no limit to what amazing things can happen.

But our endeavor is to please Srila Prabhupada by making this Austin Center a grand success.

We ask all of our listeners who are tuned in to do whatever you can to help us because there are many obstacles and we try to push forward in Krishna Yogananda's movement.

Let us all work together, all of my disciples, let us all work together to make this Austin Center a wonderful grand success.

So the Pope ought to be pleased that we carried out this order successfully to make our Austin Center a grand success.

So just consider how Pope King started this movement in New York City, then San Francisco.

I don't remember the third, I don't know the third center, but It's just amazing how it took off like a rocket, really, really amazing.

This is the, Bapa actually was blessed by the special mercy of Lord Chaitanya and Srila Bhakti Sarnath Saraswati.

That's how he was able to be successful, you see, because He didn't come like these charlatan gurus, I am God, you are God, we are all God.

Can you imagine they teach this bogus thing?

People think, oh Swamiji is so enlightened.

He says, I am God, you are God, We are all God.

I mean just see how people are being so much cheated in this level.

So we have to defeat all these cheaters, all these rascals.

We have to defeat all these nuns and people who want to water down Papa's teachings also with sense gratification.

We have to be very strong and very determined to be strictly following the teachings of the beloved spiritual master Srila Prabhupada and establish them as the standard knowledge to be taught in every school, every university, every college, every home.

To have these books in every body, in every home, in every county, in every village, in this whole planet should have Prabhupada's books in their home.

Should be chanting Hare Krishna mantra on the Japa beads and having kirtan.

We want to make Krishna consciousness a world religion, universally accepted as a world religion.

Now some people want to chant Allah, that's ok.

So if they want to chant, if they are Muslim they want to chant Allah.

Let them chant Allah and give up sinful activities.

No meeting, no sex, no intoxication, gambling.

Nama Namakari Bahudala Nageshwaraya Vishaktistha.

There are hundreds and thousands of names of the Lord.

We don't say that everybody has to chant Hare Krishna, but this chanting Hare Krishna will establish, the more it's done, will establish this principle of chanting the holy names of God according to your own tradition.

So we want to encourage everybody to come to this level of chanting the holy names of God in the regular basis.

Arunama, Arunama, Arunama eva kevalam, Kalo nisteva, nisteva, nisteva, gets here on the chart.

Chant the holy name, chant the holy name, chant the holy name, chant the holy name, there is no other alternative, there is no other alternative, there is no other alternative for salvatization in this wicked age of cutting.

It's a wicked age, it's shocking how degraded it is.

I was mentioning yesterday, 60 mass shootings this year already.

In 6 weeks, 60 mass shootings in the US, already 60.

Millions of babies are being murdered, legally murdered through abortion.

I mean, it's just unbelievable how demonic and hellish an atmosphere it's become.

We want to bring back Vedic culture in every town and every village so this planet can become like it was during the reign of Mahabharata.

That's how Yantra is going to be established on this planet.

So at least we can establish it in our own hearts.

At least within our own hearts we can establish pure love of God.

Then To whatever extent we have awakened pure love of God in our heart, to that extent we will have the potency for revolutionizing this planet.

The more you conquer your mind, the more you become empowered to establish Krishna consciousness movement on this planet.

It is amazing how much potency is there when 1 actually becomes a pure devotee of Krishna.

As I have many times quoted, satyamda durjandapamgu, jada anugamda, jada anugamda, jada anugamda, This is a different verse.

Janmantadasa asvesu yasyasad vidhahidhvasi andhasaham sadevasya sarva-lokam samudare.

After many, many lifetimes, after many, many, many births, 1 actually becomes awakened that I am the eternal servant of Krishna, He can deliver all the worlds, not only this universe but all the universes of the whole material world.

There are an infinite number of universes in this material world.

But that is available if 1 becomes fully awakened in Krishna consciousness.

So we should endeavor like anything to become more and more awakened, to get out of the influence of tamo guna, raga, even sattva guna.

We want to go beyond these material modes and come to shuddh sattva, pure goodness.

Goodness is good, but material goodness is mixed with passion and ignorance, not pure.

Goodness is very good, that's why it's called goodness.

But material goodness is not purely good, it's mixed with passion and ignorance.

So we want to come to the level of shuddhasatva, pure goodness, pure devotional service is the only way to come to pure goodness.

Even the my body is merging in the Brahma and there is still tense desire to be the Supreme.

That is the problem of Mayavadi philosophy.

Only the tip of the lotus feet is approached by the yogis who aspire after the transcendental and take themselves to pranayama by dwelling in respiration or with the jnanis who try to find out the non-differentiated Brahman by the process of elimination of the mundane extending over thousands of millions of years.

So you can imagine over thousands of millions of years trying to finally merge into Brahman but then patanthi and ho they fall back into material existence.

After some time in Ramana they fall down again.

So in personal Ramana the liberation is not worth it.

It takes thousands of millions of years to get it and then you can't even keep it.

Our philosophy is the cinta beta beta tattva, the absolute truth.

We don't say the absolute truth is 1, we say the absolute truth is simultaneously, inconceivably 1 and different.

We go beyond this my body conception of oneness.

We go beyond the oneness to the transcendental two-ness.

So Oneness would be the best thing, they say.

Would you like to live in a world without any love?

So my body philosophy is embracing a reality where love cannot exist, a loveless existence.

I have a little pop question I want to ask my listeners.

I have a question for you all, see if you can answer it.

Krishna exists because he desires to exist.

Because he wants to have an infinite loving exchange.

Loving relationship, that's why we exist.

So I was never taught this, I grew up as a Christian, I was never taught why God exists.

This is why Prabhupada's books are so powerful.

The Christian ministers and the Jewish rabbis and the Muslims, whatever they call them, if they study Prabhupada they become very powerful and successful.

Christian preachers and Jewish rabbis and they should all read Pabla's books.

I remember I used to go to my pastor at St.

Louis Presbyterian Church, the pastor's study and all these books, you see them smoking a cigar.

That was his entertainment, cigar smoking, Instead of studying all these books, but the books are more studying any of these mental speculations.

But if we can put Prabhupada's books in the hands of every Christian pastor, their Christianity becomes very nice.

Because actually Christ is a pure devotee of Krishna, a pure Vaishnava.

Also Mohammed, they are both pure Vaishnavas.

So the Christians and the Muslims can actually understand What is the actual perfection of Lord Jesus Christ and Hajjah Muhammad?

It would be a great spiritual revolution on this planet.

Whenever you have any questions, dialing in from CMIP, we got here a little short today, only 59.

Any questions coming in from the listeners or from the listeners here locally?

Here we have a question from Lithuania, A question coming in.

By what actions can we actually stop slaughterhouses and all this nonsense?
