Hare Krsna,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru Maharaja.
Below is the English transcription of Guru Maharaja’s talk in Hindi during the japa
Session, 25th April 2024.
Dhira Chaitanya and his wife are chanting together. Patita Pavan is also chanting. Why are only some husbands chanting. Are they chanting separately? Krsna Lila mataji, God sees everything.
Firstly, He sees us chanting. He is Sakshi. The Lord is happy to see His devotees
chanting. Then Guru becomes pleased and Vaisnavas are also pleased. Someone from Solapur, Mauritius, Nagpur should take up the responsibility to check who is not chanting. Syamalangi can find out who all are not chanting in the Middle East Like that you can all find out.
All of you who are chanting on this forum get the credit. Krsna takes note of your efforts. We don't only want to be bhajananandi, but gostianandi. So when we do bhajan by ourselves it's bhajananandi and when we ask others to do and make an effort it’s gostianandi. Krsna is very pleased with those devotees who asks others to do. Some selfishness is there is bhajanand. In gostianandi there is parmaar/paropkar.
Caitanya Mahaprabhu says:
bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya janma yāra
janma sārthaka kari’ kara para-upakāra
Translation:
“One who has taken his birth as a human being in the land of India [Bhārata-varṣa] should make his life successful and work for the benefit of all other people.” (CC Adi 9.41)
Chant and make others chant. Read Scriptures and make others read. Honour
prasada and serve prasada to others. Go to temple for darshan and take 10 to 15 with you for darshan. Go on yatras. Come to Vrndavana, Pandharpur and Mayapur Bring your friends. Vasudeva kutumbakam. We have a big family. The whole
world is a family. “We 2 and our 2” - finished. No! Prabhupada has given us ISKCON where the entire world can live. We are ISKCONvasis like Mayapur-, Ayodhya-, Vrndavanavasis. I never said ISKCONvasi before.You can also use this term. Make the entire world ISKCONvasis.
We can become a Zoom temple vasi. Para dukha dukhi. Seeing others dukhi we become dukhi. Vaisnavas know the suffering of others and want to do something about it. Why did Prabhupada go to the West at the age of 70? Para dukha dukhi. He did not just worry about his own suffering. Rather a Vaisnava thinks of the suffering of others too.They have the solution as well. Do you know ?
ami bina bandhu ara ke ache tomara
Caitanya Mahaprabhu is our Bandhu and so assist others to also establish their
relation with Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
tomare loite ami hoinu avatara
Got the medicine to give you all. You are diseased, so have got Harinama. It's
the medicine for Krishna consciousness - Gita, Bhagavad. Prasada is the medicine. Only I should not be worried why only so few are chanting or why so few are there on this zoom session from Surat or Nagpur. Take the responsibility Anand Prada Mataji and others. Shorten the burden or shoulder the burden. Take the burden. Don't leave the burden on my shoulder. Shouldering the burden or burdening the shoulder. We can give relief. Help! Help!
Devotees from Mongolia are chanting? Do you know where Mongolia is?It is above China. From there one elderly mataji is chanting. I was saying Krsna is Sakshi. Krsna says so, so I am repeating. Where I am sitting in Vrndavana Dhama from here I am getting darshan of Surya Narayan. He is looking at me. So the thought came to mind how the Lord is a witness/Sakshi. He is looking at me and that mataji from Mongolia and He is seeing all. If Suryadev is watching it means the Lord is watching. Sakshi suryo Krsna says in Gita. The sun and moon are the eyes of the Lord. During the day the sun sees and at night the moon. Krsna becomes Sakshi.
You will find this Sakshi list in Ajamila katha. The sun and moon are mentioned who together see all. Surya who is the Lord’s eyes sees and shows. Have you thought about this? If there is no light then how can the eyes see.You might be proud of your eyes, but if there is no Suryadev light on any place or person, then we cannot see. No one can. We are TOTALLY dependent on Krsna from every angle.
prakṛiteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśhaḥ
ahankāra-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate
Translation:
All activities are carried out by the three modes of material nature. But in ignorance, the soul, deluded by false identification with the body, thinks of itself as the doer. (BG 3.27)
A foolish soul thinks I do, I see. You are nothing without God
yadi hyahaṁ na varteyaṁ jātu karmaṇyatandritaḥ
mama vartmānuvartante manuṣhyāḥ pārtha sarvaśhaḥ
Translation:
For if I did not carefully perform the prescribed duties, O Parth, all men would follow My path in all respects. (BG 3.23)
As Krsna shows, we see. We are not independent, but fully dependent.
It’s amazing. Surya Bhagwan is there who spreads light in the entire Brahmanda. Just like a tube light or light bulb brings light to room. That also only comes from Sun. From agni we get light. Surya has Agni. We cannot analyze the shakti of the Lord so we need to bow down. Offer namaskar to Surya.
aise sri Bhagwan ko barambar pranam he.
Everyday offer obeisances to the Sun God. He takes care of our health.
kṛṣṇa — sūrya-sama; māyā haya andhakāra
yāhāṅ kṛṣṇa, tāhāṅ nāhi māyāra adhikāra
Translation:
“Kṛṣṇa is compared to sunshine, and māyā is compared to darkness. Wherever there is sunshine, there cannot be darkness. As soon as one takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the darkness of illusion (the influence of the external energy) will immediately vanish.( CC Madhya lila 22.31)
So when Sun is there, Krsna is there. Maya is very far away. God’s name is KRSNA. Stay with Harinama. Take association of Harinama Prabhu. Take shelter and remember Harinama. Take Harinama and give Harinama. There is anything to give except Harinama. Krsna is tomaar.
Whatever realisations you have of Krsna, share it with others. Keep chanting. I am becoming an obstacle in your japa.
Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare - Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Your fallen servant
