Shri Madhavata, 4th Canto, Chapter 28, Text 43.

the the the the the Vajarbhi Malayadvajam Tegna Parachara Dittva Voh Ganta Patidevata Padma Dharma Jyam Vajarbhi Malayadvajam Tegna Parachara Dittva

Ganta Patidevata Guru Maharaj Ji, if if you're there, please lead us.

Pahidharbhi Malayadhbhajam Mahadharbhi Malayadhbhajam Premnaparyachara Dittva Padachara Dittva Boghanta Patidevata Boghanta Patidevata Local ladies here.

Her husband, Padma, Supreme, Dharmakam, knower of elitist principles, Vaidarbhi, the daughter of Vidarbha, Malayadvajam, Nirmalaya bhajaja, premna,

Hittva, giving up, Bhogam sends enjoyment, Sa, she, Kati Deva Ta, accepts her husband as the supreme lord.

Congratulations and prayers by his divine grace, Srila Prabhupada.

The daughter of King Vidarbha, accepts her husband all in all as the supreme.

She gave up all sensual enjoyment and in complete renunciation followed the principles of her husband who was so advanced.

Dignity, King Malavajjaj is the spiritual master, and his wife, Vardharbi, is his disciple.

The disciple accepts the spiritual master as the supreme personality of Godhead, as stated by Disha Nachakavarita Kuru in the Gurbhashtaka, Sakshadvari Thalena.

When the black accepts the guru as the spiritual master as the supreme personality of Godhead, Once they accept the spiritual master, not in the sense that the my body philosophers do but in the way recommended here.

Since the spiritual master is the most confidential servant of the Lord, he should be treated exactly like the Supreme Personality of God.

The spiritual master who should never be neglected is obeyed like an ordinary person.

If a woman is fortunate enough to be the wife of a pure devotee, she can serve her husband without any desire for sense of identification.

If she remains engaged in the service of her exalted husband, she will automatically attain the spiritual affections of her husband.

If the disciple gets a modified spiritual master simply by satisfying him, he can attain a similar opportunity to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Sunyavari Vastyachini Satarini Bring water.

The king is the symbolic representation of Krishna and the wife is symbolic representation of the disciple.

Every morning we sing this prayer, the Gavasakam.

The spiritual master is accepted as directly the Supreme Personality of God.

Just like the Amandana example, If the policeman comes, he is the government.

No, the government is putting you under arrest.

Not that the spiritual master is Krishna, but he acts as fully as a representative of Krishna, thus he is as good as Krishna.

I know in my own spiritual pathway trying to find how to become spiritually perfect.

I was begging again and again, begging, begging, begging, begging.

And Krishna said he heard my prayer And he answered it.

He sent Dishonestana Swami here and taught me how to connect with Srila Prabhupada, the pure devotee of Krishna.

So that's the way how to become the pure devotee of God.

You find the representative, he is purely representing him in surrender.

Of course I had found other gurus in the past, but they weren't representing God.

They were representing some false philosophy, that spiritual master that I'm God, you're God, and we're all God.

The 1 guru, so-called guru said stop playing hide, go sleep with yourself and come out and become God once again.

When I found the bona fide spiritual master was teaching Bhagavad Gita as it is, not some bogus philosophy concocted then I found it worked.

It's like if someone says, how do you know that Krishna is God?

How do you know the ice cream tastes good?

How do you know it's good when you taste it?

So you can actually taste Krishna by chanting His name with love.

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

See, see, by the name of the darshan is here.

You can take his darshan, Shishiradha Dhamana.

You can hear the teachings of these great sadhus, these great personalities.

In so many ways you connect with Krishna and actually taste the bliss.

And any happiness you could ever have in the material, no matter how much sense gratification you might get.

They go after some of these types of sense gratification, intoxication, sex life, money, power, so many things they go after.

You may try so many ways to be satisfied but never become satisfied because they're trying to enjoy on a false platform, like water in the desert.

They're going after the mirage thinking he will get satisfaction.

The thing is, why does the mirage appear attractive?

You know why the mirage appears attractive?

If there was no such thing as water, the mirage wouldn't be attractive.

Because there is such a thing as water, therefore the mirage, the illusion of water is attractive.

Now many say no, but that's a bogus philosophy.

There is something that is genuine happiness.

So when some kind person comes and says, �My dear sir, why are you running after that mirage?

Here�s some bottle of water right here.

So in this way the Bandhified scripture says, if you're running after this, trying to be God, then I can give you something better.

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

You may try but it doesn't give you results.

See we're actually not these material bodies where the little kid's body and the old senior citizen's body or middle-aged body, but every body you may have, it's not you.

So instead of being misled by the false propaganda going, every billboard, every advertisement, everything is saying, you are that body, come on, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, things go better with Coca-Cola, things go better with Coke.

That's how we, little kids, I was saying, what's wrong with my parents?

My parents aren't very good because they didn't like the caffeine.

We only got, you know, we never got Coca-Cola.

Something mom and my parents say don't buy Coca-Cola.

That's how I was thinking as a little kid.

Even a little child is influenced by this propaganda.

The school also has so many bogus philosophies.

And your classmates have so many bogus philosophies.

You need a classmate like Prahlad, Prahlad is it.

That's the kind of classmate you need in your school.

So there's no Prahlad, you be the Prahlad then.

Shavanam kuttanam vishnu smaranam parasevanam.

He taught them Bhagavatam philosophy, the 9 different process of devotional service.

And when the father heard about it, he was very disturbed.

They don't know you're chanting Hare Krishna.

But his father was a demon, so I'm going to kill him.

He's not following the line of the demons.

He's trying to be 1 of those ridiculous Hare Krishna people.

But the Shingyadeva said, okay, you're finished.

Pretty gross way to go, have your guts ripped out.

Don't be afraid of your classmate things or what the teacher's saying.

You be stricken, be like a pilad in your school.

If you have any chance, preach to the school, man.

Tell them, my dear classmate, do you realize you're not a little kid?

Papa said we should push for this philosophy to feed all these rascals.

It's like I attacked this popular magazine, Brewster's Magazine.

They presented some article describing how somebody tricked 1 of the Supreme Court justices into agreeing to the idea of reviving religion.

It was a whole thing that exposed him as being in favor of reviving.

Even though he didn't directly say it, he just said yes.

In other words, he was asked, should we revive religion?

And they put it in the big article, just see this Supreme Court justice, he's agreeing we should revive religion.

In other words, politically incorrect to revive religion.

The Supreme Court justice should not be saying such things, or thinking such things.

So I complained to this magazine and they didn't accept my complaint.

So these popular magazines are promoting all this garbage.

They're promoting so many garbage things.

The media is pervading with all kinds of garbage.

So we have to make bigger propaganda than they make.

We have to outdo their propaganda, the Krishna consciousness propaganda.

It's the fact that people's attitude and their whole mindset is created by the media.

But there are people that program by the media.

And the media, what's their goal in media?

They put on the media, it will attract the people to tune in, so they can charge money for advertising.

Somebody has so many public speakers getting big money for their lectures.

Presenting what's in line with the people.

It should be based on who's speaking the truth.

But there are people with so much program, they can't accept it.

It's like when Indra became a hog and the Muslim and Brahma came to bless him and he was in heavenly planets.

I have my female, all these female hogs here, and little kitties, cute little kitties, oink, oink, oink.

I'm in heaven already, we're talking about heaven.

So this might be the being propagandized and thinking, you know, I got it here and got it.

And some people are suffering very badly.

They don't understand these people trying to get into the U.S.

They're being horribly tortured in South American countries trying to get to the US.

For them, the US is like a heavenly planet.

They're being tortured so badly, but they don't understand that the US is also being tortured badly.

All kinds of hellish things are going on here too.

Maybe not as bad as there, but the thing is, people have to realize the real solution to all difficulties is to awaken my original natural consciousness.

See, we're all suffering not due to the external situation.

It may appear that our suffering is due to the external situation.

We read in the recent prayer book that the 1 who is actually Krishna conscious, he's already in the spiritual world.

The material world is the spiritual world.

I read in the prayer book recently that the material world is the spiritual world.

The 1 whose interest is 1 of the Lord's interests.

So instead of trying to think, I have to climb over the wall and get into the U.S.

Just like the US is a heavenly planet, but the actual heavenly planet where they live for 36, 000 years, that will not satisfy us.

If you live for 100 years, what's that, 3, 600, 000?

Even if you go to the heavenly planets, still it's not satisfying.

They may have all kinds of heavenly pleasures, but they're heavily damsels and all kinds of amazing foods, and all kinds of beautiful music, and all kinds of beautiful forests, and beautiful flowers, beautiful gardens, and all kinds of really beautiful amazing things with no air pollution, no water pollution.

But still they are not really happy in the heavenly planes.

Because this is a martial loco, this material world is a place of death.

Even they have to die, and they know they're going to die.

So don't get so carried away by them, focus on this knowledge.

But right now focus on the transmittal sound vibration.

Because this sound vibration, if you learn how to tune into it, this sound vibration coming down from the disciptic succession, This is not my words.

What I'm speaking to you is not my invention.

What I'm speaking to you is coming down to the previous Acharyas.

I'm just a postman living the million dollar cashier shit.

I'm a pauper myself, but I'm living a million-odd years cashier shit.

So you tune into this transcendental sound vibration.

And this will actually liberate you from all anxieties.

You tune into this, this shubda-brumminous spiritual sound vibration.

You tune into it, it will liberate you from thinking, I'm this arm, I'm these hands, I'm these toes, or whatever, but this is not a brahman.

Of course, you need to take care of your body.

We don't say no, but you do that in Bhagwatam class.

You need to take care of your body, we don't say

no, but you only do that in Bhagwatam class.

It's like you have a car, you've got to take it to the gas station, you've got to put air in the tires, oil in the oil tank and so many things.

Until you get in the car wash every now and then.

There's nothing wrong with taking care of the body, but don't...

If you think, I am this BMW, then you're in bad shape.

We have to get out, get free from this bodily misidentification.

Very nice verse, probably quoted recently.

It says it's all the energy of the Supreme.

Material just means when you're covered by mundane consciousness.

As soon as you think, I am the Lord, I am this body as me, then everything becomes material for you.

Even when you go to God to take him to some material, some of the facilities, take him and fill your material desires.

They go to the church and send it out of the mosque, they don't actually see God as spiritual.

They see Him as somebody who can fulfill my material desire.

So they don't have a spiritual experience.

They don't actually experience transcendental Bliss when they go to church.

They go to church, the synagogue of the mosque, and where they go after the service, they go to McDonald's or Kentucky 5.

They think, well, we have to do this proper for our moral principles, and we're not parents, but we go for our material desires.

So because they're not approaching God as an ability, but as a Lord, it's called Order Supplier.

They don't taste the Transcendental Bliss.

You understand this point or it's something more important right now.

They take God as an order of supply or they don't take Him as the Lord and to them as much as they want.

Therefore, they don't experience Transcendental bliss.

Now if you come here to the temple and you don't experience fundamental bliss, then you're not approaching it in the correct way.

If we chant Hare Krishna, we don't taste fundamental bliss.

If we go to the Bhagavatam class, we don't taste fundamental bliss.

If we take the Darshan, we don't taste fundamental bliss.

That means we're not approaching the Vajna.

But then you might think, I've got to do this.

If we're not approaching with the mood, we have to do everything with quality.

In other words, Krishna, as I've stated before, everything we do is an opportunity to connect with Krishna.

Japa, Kirtan, even taking care of your body in Krishna's service.

Everything we do is an opportunity to connect with Krishna.

Krishna is fully present every nanosecond.

There's not even 1 nanosecond when Krishna is not there.

So we have to learn whether you're stringing a garland, whether you're washing the dishes, whether you're taking out the garbage, whether you're taking a walk, or whatever it may be.

Do everything in a way that, let me do this in such a way I can connect with Krishna.

He's always there, but we have to learn the other, how to connect with Krishna.

And as Pilate said, there's 9 different aspects of Bhakti Yoga.

Shravanam kirtanam, smartenam, remembering, parasevanam, serving the Lord as the seeker.

Arjunam, worshipping the Lord as the Friend, worshipping the deity Vandanaam, offering prayers, Arjanam, worshipping the deity.

And then for the very advanced devotees, Sakyam, Atnam, Vain, making friendship with the Lord, going into an intimate relationship with Him, you see, and then surrender fully to the Lord.

Now right now we're on the Vaidhi, at least for myself, on the Vaidhi Vata platform.

But for a very advanced soul like Prabhupada and all these great Acharyas, they are Vagabhaktas.

Vagabhakti is the preliminary stage before Prema Bhakti.

When you get to Vagga, then you are on the verge of Prema.

So perhaps there are some questions or disagreements or corrections.

If I said anything that's wrong, please point it out.

If I said something that's wrong, let's see here.

Group Manager, do you want to add some points here, any corrections?

Additions or corrections or subtractions?

We have some questions rolling in in the chat window.

We have, Hare Krishna Das, kindly enlighten, the NIAF Act goes up and down, so in this situation, progress cannot be assessed grossly.

We're making comments right now, we're answering the chat window.

Let me go over here where I can adjust this thing.
