By getting married also we get more relatives.

By having children you get more relatives.

related to husbands and they can be also get more relatives.

There's a great advantage of staying brahmachari.

But also married life is also a concession.

Because in this age, the girls require husbands according to baby culture.

So it's an austerity for protecting a woman also.

Have you ever heard of women raping a man?

Now we have women raping a man, and women are raped by men.

So if some men want to get married, it's a very good thing for the culture that the girls can be protected, not be roaming alone and turned into prostitutes by these unscrupulous men.

Yeah, it's very good if some man who is strictly following gets married.

Mary's can be used to help him become more Krishna conscious also.

He takes it in the proper way according to the description.

He can make it his own Krishna conscious.

But I'm not sure I like the Vedic advantage.

Now against the Vedic culture, Brahmachari is at a greater advantage.

I'm prepared to have sex like 100 times if I can have Krishna Kansa's children.

The straight brahmachari never about same as that.

I'm willing to have sex like 100 times if I can have Krishna Kansa's children.

So it can be diahemic utilizing Krishna service.

The tendency to want to label the opposite side can be utilized but not in a listed way.

Then it can help 1 advance in Krishna consciousness.

will get reactions if 1 does not follow these words.

So like If 1 is not able to liberate 1 from death, then what reaction he will have?

If you are not liberating from death, then you are facilitating that sense enjoyment.

If I don't associate, as you are a spiritual master, if I don't associate in such a way to help you advance, and not such a way to push you down the other way, here I have some marijuana.

My disciples like marijuana, here I have some marijuana.

And It's in 1 way or the other, you're helping to go up, you're pushing them down by your association, not neutral.

So therefore you have to always, the father, the mother, the preacher also, not just guru, but every disciple is also a guru of the people he preaches to.

It applies to everyone, every devotee of our movement.

Everyone is meant to be a preacher, Brahmadhar, and so on.

So you have to, if you don't bring to the Krishna, then you're connecting with Maya.

You don't connect with Krishna, you're connecting with Maya.

Or is it something new to you to be neutral?

I say it's 1 way or the other, it's not neutral.

not taking Krishna, you take him to Maya, take him 1 way or the other.

You're the Krishna conscious, you're not Krishna conscious.

See, my body's going to be neutral, but you can't really be neutral.

It's either Krishna or Maya, 1 or the other.

If you're not Krishna conscious, Maya consciousness, whatever you are, it's going to rub off on the people you associate with.

For example, I can just save myself and then...

You save yourself, then just by your association, they'll become inspired to become saved too.

Just by an example of being Krishna conscious, that has a powerful impact also.

But if you preach, it becomes 10 times more powerful.

It's like getting out of the airplane, the sewers say goodbye and I say Hare Krishna.

You see, by saying Hare Krishna, that dentist, I save $150 and you got a baguette.

That 1 little thing completely turns the whole thing around.

You have a hard time saying Hare Krishna?

They got the seat of bhakti plain in the heart.

Hearing Hare Krishna from the mouth of the Bodhi is an eternal asset in that person's eternal life.

So why not bless them with the holy name?

You don't feel like blessing anybody with the holy name?

OK, we have more questions rolling in now.

Huge project analysis has written a whole big thing.

Takes her 4 hours to do 40 rounds, that's 10 rounds an hour.

Is it a proper way to report the Spiritual Master?

No, but it is what I was doing just to be connected with the spiritual master.

At least in the future it would be too much, but right now I do get reports sometimes.

And I may not give a whole big, I may just say thank you very much, some simple thing, but I do like the reports.

Many devotees are giving reports of what they're up to.

Sita Patti gave me a big, little reports.

Whole thing, what time I went to Mahalati, what fishing I did, et cetera, et cetera.

I'm happy to see that somebody's remaining steady in their service.

Now I recognize you, I'm going to find out who you are.

Oh yeah, the hat kind of made it hard for me to recognize you.

This austerity here in this world is getting blitzed in devotional service.

A little bit of, yeah, austerity, poison may get in your neck from the end.

So if austerity is, any kind of austerity could be in the emotional services that...

If it's done in the right mood, If it's done in the wrong mood, it won't bring peace.

So I think I'm a very advanced personality.

I do some austerities and impress everybody.

You do it to please Krishna and Guru, yes, you'll taste the nectar.

Do it to show off what a great austere person you are.

Whatever you do to please Guru and Krishna then, you'll find ecstasy in there, whatever it is.

Like yesterday I heard about this from Sri Vaisnavas, how during Prabhupada's time, there was his disciples, Tribhu, not Rabhu.

fired up, all the devotees at that time were there, they were really fired up.

So is that the same thing which comes down, like even now spiritual masters are there so the disciples should

The same ecstasy is available right now as it was when Prabhupada was here.

When you remember Prabhupada, you remember me, I am there.

We had just as much access to Prabhupada now as they did then.

Prabhupada told us, not that my spiritual master is dead and gone.

Prabhupada, you have just as much access to Prabhupada as the devotees did back in 1972.

We can learn what they were tasting then by reading about it, and we can learn how to taste the same thing now.


Speaker 0: By getting married also we get more relatives. So 1 should not get married.

Speaker 1: By having children you get more relatives. By getting married also, wives are

Speaker 0: related to husbands and they can be also get more relatives. So 1 should better

Speaker 2: begin with brahmachari.

Speaker 0: Well, women of brahmachari not get

Speaker 1: married also. There's a great advantage of staying brahmachari. But also married life is also a concession. Because in this age, the girls require husbands according to baby culture. So it's an austerity for protecting a woman also.

Women require husbands in baby culture. Actually women do require protection. Have you ever heard of women raping a man? Women are raped by men. Now we have women raping a man, and women are raped by men.

So women require protection. So if some men want to get married, it's a very good thing for the culture that the girls can be protected, not be roaming alone and turned into prostitutes by these unscrupulous men. Especially In America it's very bad. And India is catching up too, I hear. Catching up with the West.

Yeah, it's very good if some man who is strictly following gets married. It's

Speaker 3: very good.

Speaker 1: It's very good. It can help him also. He can help... Mary's can be used to help him become more Krishna conscious also. He takes it in the proper way according to the description.

He can make it his own Krishna conscious. Bhakti and Adukhur was a householder. Papad also was a householder. Not against the Vedic culture of course. But I'm not sure I like the Vedic advantage.

Speaker 3: He can make his own Krishna Kanyas. Bhakti Ananda Kuru was a Halsodara. Prabhupada also was a Halsodara.

Speaker 1: Now against the Vedic culture, Brahmachari is at a greater advantage. Many times Halsodars get off the track. What did Bhakti Sananda say? I'm prepared to have sex like 100 times if I can have Krishna Kansa's children. 100 times.

The straight brahmachari never about same as that. I'm willing to have sex like 100 times if I can have Krishna Kansa's children. So it can be diahemic utilizing Krishna service. The tendency to want to label the opposite side can be utilized but not in a listed way. Then it can help 1 advance in Krishna consciousness.

Okay.

Speaker 2: There in the purport

Speaker 3: it is mentioned that 1

Speaker 2: will get reactions if 1 does not follow these words. So like If 1 is not able to liberate 1 from death, then what reaction he will have? Yeah.

Speaker 1: If you are not liberating from death, then you are facilitating that sense enjoyment. It's 1 or the other. It's not neutral. If I don't associate, as you are a spiritual master, if I don't associate in such a way to help you advance, and not such a way to push you down the other way, here I have some marijuana. My disciples like marijuana, here I have some marijuana.

And It's in 1 way or the other, you're helping to go up, you're pushing them down by your association, not neutral. So therefore you have to always, the father, the mother, the preacher also, not just guru, but every disciple is also a guru of the people he preaches to. It applies to everyone, every devotee of our movement. Everyone is meant to be a preacher, Brahmadhar, and so on. Everyone becomes a guru.

We are all supposed to be gurus here. So you have to, if you don't bring to the Krishna, then you're connecting with Maya. You don't connect with Krishna, you're connecting with Maya. Isn't it? Am I wrong?

Or is it something new to you to be neutral? I say it's 1 way or the other, it's not neutral. That's my claiming your name in class.

Speaker 3: If you're

Speaker 1: not taking Krishna, you take him to Maya, take him 1 way or the other. You're the Krishna conscious, you're not Krishna conscious. See, my body's going to be neutral, but you can't really be neutral. It's either Krishna or Maya, 1 or the other. If you're not Krishna conscious, Maya consciousness, whatever you are, it's going to rub off on the people you associate with.

Speaker 2: For example, I can just save myself and then...

Speaker 1: You save yourself, then just by your association, they'll become inspired to become saved too.

Speaker 2: But I'm not telling

Speaker 1: them about anything. Just by an example of being Krishna conscious, that has a powerful impact also. But if you preach, it becomes 10 times more powerful. All you have to do is say Hare Krishna. It's like getting out of the airplane, the sewers say goodbye and I say Hare Krishna.

Why not say Hare Krishna? What's there to lose? You see, by saying Hare Krishna, that dentist, I save $150 and you got a baguette. It's by saying Hare Krishna. It's all like that.

Say Hare Krishna. That 1 little thing completely turns the whole thing around. Why not say Hare Krishna? Say bye bye. Hello.

Kempcho. Whatever. Why not Hare Krishna? What's the harm in saying Hare Krishna? You have a hard time saying Hare Krishna?

Does it hurt your throat? Yeah, it really hurts my throat. Just say Hare Krishna. They heard Hare Krishna. They got the seat of bhakti.

You say Hare Krishna to somebody. They got the seat of bhakti plain in the heart. They don't... But every little thing adds up. Hearing Hare Krishna from the mouth of the Bodhi is an eternal asset in that person's eternal life.

Just by hearing Hare Krishna 1 time. So why not bless them with the holy name? What's the difficulty? You don't feel like blessing anybody with the holy name? You

Speaker 3: want to

Speaker 1: curse them or bless them? It's your choice. OK, we have more questions rolling in now. Maybe if this copy is getting a little. I think we're going to end it here.

No more questions coming in. Huge project analysis has written a whole big thing. Takes her 4 hours to do 40 rounds, that's 10 rounds an hour. So in 2 hours you can do 20 rounds.

Speaker 3: Now, 16 rounds of the Bible. You

Speaker 1: want to ask that's right. It's only required in 16 rounds. Okay. Whatever. This is the last 1 here.

No more. It's already typed in. Is it a proper way to report the Spiritual Master? No, but it is what I was doing just to be connected with the spiritual master. Yeah, I'm always happy to hear reports.

At least in the future it would be too much, but right now I do get reports sometimes. And I may not give a whole big, I may just say thank you very much, some simple thing, but I do like the reports. Many devotees are giving reports of what they're up to. I'm very happy to see the reports. Sita Patti gave me a big, little reports.

Whole thing, what time I went to Mahalati, what fishing I did, et cetera, et cetera. Not necessary, but it's nice. I'm happy to see that somebody's remaining steady in their service. Anything from the locals here? Okay, 1 last 1.

Now I recognize you, I'm going to find out who you are. Oh yeah, the hat kind of made it hard for me to recognize you. Go ahead.

Speaker 2: This austerity here in this world is getting blitzed in devotional service. Austerity gets blitzed. Yeah. Even here it's mentioned on the glass. That's right.

Speaker 1: A little bit of, yeah, austerity, poison may get in your neck from the end.

Speaker 2: Yeah. So if austerity is, any kind of austerity could be in the emotional services that...

Speaker 1: If it's done in the right mood, If it's done in the wrong mood, it won't bring peace. It's made in the right mood. So I think I'm a very advanced personality. I do some austerities and impress everybody. You won't taste the nectar.

You do it to please Krishna and Guru, yes, you'll taste the nectar. Do it to show off what a great austere person you are. Isn't it? Yes. Whatever you do to please Guru and Krishna then, you'll find ecstasy in there, whatever it is.

Speaker 2: Like yesterday I heard about this from Sri Vaisnavas, how during Prabhupada's time, there was his disciples, Tribhu, not Rabhu. So he

Speaker 1: was really

Speaker 2: fired up, all the devotees at that time were there, they were really fired up. So is that the same thing which comes down, like even now spiritual masters are there so the disciples should

Speaker 1: be like fired up? The same ecstasy is available right now as it was when Prabhupada was here. The same ecstasy is present. Is Prabhupada still here? Is he?

Prabhupada is in this room right now? Excellent. When you remember Prabhupada, you remember me, I am there. We had just as much access to Prabhupada now as they did then. Not that he's dead and gone.

Prabhupada told us, not that my spiritual master is dead and gone. Prabhupada, you have just as much access to Prabhupada as the devotees did back in 1972. You see a loranic tune in? That's a Tune in, turn on the blue cell. He's got to learn how to tune in.

Probably his right ear. We can learn what they were tasting then by reading about it, and we can learn how to taste the same thing now. Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna. Hare

Speaker 3: Hare. Hare Rama Hare Rama. Hare Hare.
