So uh so lord has appeared here in the form of ‘Giriraj’ This country I don’t know much geography but I but I could see so many mountains all around big-big mountain, rocks but then there’s one other little rock here We do not worship those mountains around but we worship ‘Giriraj Govardhan’ there’s a difference I think I’m trying to get that across between rock and rock and this rock and other rocks a huge difference also. And you all have become ‘Giriraj Bhakt’s, ‘Devotees Giriraj.’ Because its Gaur Nitai is here “Gaur Nitai ke Jay” “Narsimha Dev ke Jay” He also come out of the rock. Came out of the White Pillar to protect his devote “Prahlada” And now he is here to protect all of you. As you see And probably give us Prayers for Narsimha and some places deities of Narsimha protection was needed. So for that arranged Prayers and Worship of Narsimha in his form at one point. And then there’s also ‘Varaha’ “Varaha dev ke Jay”

When entire earthly planet was in difficulty in big trouble. It feel The Whole earth fell into the ocean. ‘Garbhodaka Ocean’ So earth had to be pruthvi. It’s called ‘Pruthvi Mata’ “Pruthvi Mata ke Jay” or we say mother. Earth mother earth. I think everywhere all over the world they say so that’s the understanding earth is a mother. What does mother do? Does the feeding a lot of things but feeding? Feeding the children. So we are all not just human beings but all beings in all species of life. They’re all feed. Feeding is essential (shlok) is all the all the living entities are they subsist they survive on grains. Grains or “Patram Pushpam Phalam Toyam’ of these four items ofcourse ‘Pushpam” we do not eat but ‘Patram’ Leaves vegetables, Salad ‘Phalam’ fruits everywhere. But next to the house that I’m residing right now, there’s a there’s a tree with lots of  pears hanging, a ripe one’s ready to go. As if mother earth is ready to feed me also you know here fruit for you that’s how always feel like that here are the flowers for you. Here are fruits for you. Here grains for you. This for you. Sometimes the trees are loaded. So earth is certainly our mother, everybody’s mother. Let’s this is not the Topic but same mother same mother earth is also mistreated and exploited in so many ways bby her offspring or children. This is not Fair.

This is not at all fair. As a result, there’s mother earth has developed some fever and it’s rising. Temperature of mother earth is rising. You heard about that that all these climatic changes. So we are getting. What’s happening…So uh so the earth was again her earth was also being exploited by this Hiranyaksha. The demon Hiranyaksha so uh so there are many demons right now. They’re acting like they’re Hirenyaksha. So then Lord had appear as a ‘Varaha’ And he lifted the earth from the depth of the ocean. I took note that Varaha has a teeth. Your Varaha ‘Our Varaha’ is here as a teeth and ‘The Varaha Dev’ He said he was holding earth on the tip or top of his teeth tooth, tooths. So when the earth was held on the top of the the tooth, if you’re going to take a selfie or a photograph of Lord with the earth, Earth was just little spot just just here somewhere. It only covered a little. I’m just trying to point out to to you How giants giant size was Varaha. If you were to see Varaha him holding the earth probably you would not even see the Earth. It was so huge and a little more to say about Varaha So after lifting holding the earth ‘Varaha Dev’ Comes up and he sits on the bank of Jamuna at the place called “Vishram Ghat” Is it loud enough? You’re hearing in the back (guru maharaj asking devotees). Okay, you’re with us You’re getting back Okay, you’re the picture. Now lord is in Mathura sitting on one Ghat. ‘Ghat’ is a bathing place on the bank of ‘Jamuna’ and earth is still on the tooth. India, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Turkistan, all these sons are still up there and he’s sitting in Vrindavan, Mathura. The point being Vrindavan nothing changes for Vrindavan. Vrindavan, Mathura are eternal. They never fall down. They are never destroyed. They are eternal and they stay whenever they are And finally whole world is dissolved finished Vrindavan Mathura Mayapur Jagannath Puri Dham ki jayyyy

They all stay intact wherever they are stand still and eternal .

And all the past times keep happening there

Varah Dev ki Jay

Today this disappearace day of namacharya Shri Haridas Thakur … Haridas Thakur ki Jay

On this day some 500 years ago in the presence of Chaitanya mahaprabhu Haridas Thakur was there at his bhajan kutir in Jagannath Puri

Please call siddha bakul siddha bakul

bakul is the kind of tree

They make a toothbrush for Jagannath from this bakul tree branch

And Jagannath when he gets up in the morning he hey brushes his tooth with the bakul branch

One day Chaitanya mahaprabhu he had gone for the darshan of Jagannath Jai Jagannath

And then he took one that morning toothbrush of Jagannath and that was bakul Branch

And then he used to visit Haridas Thakur every single day

As you know Haridas Thakur was born in the Muslim family and hence as was the tradition of this place holy place only Hindus are allowed.

So Haridas Thakur was not allowed go take darshan .

Maybe some of you also a muslim background or a Christian background then very similar for your sake

Chaitanya mahaprabhu has come hari bolllll

To meet you to give you Darshan

And he is going everywhere all over the planet Chaitanya mahaprabhu is going and also Giriraj Govardhan  going varaha going Narasimha they are going you cannot come to lord has come to you

So Haridas Thakur not allowed to enter Jagannath Mandir and take darshan but

 jei gaur sei krsna sei jaganath

Chaitanya mahaprabhu is Jagannath , krsna so Jagannath in the form of Chaitanya mahaprabhu is to go to Haridas Thakur place to give him Darshan . This is the magnanimity of gauranga

Namo om maha vadanyaay so anyway on that one morning mahaprabhu took that toothbrush bakul branch and upon arounding at

Before it was not known as sidhha bakul  but that particular morning lord planted that branch in the ground and quickly they grew into a shady tree and then Haridas Thakur was getting cool shade of this bakul  tree otherwise all day long chanting 300000 names of lord he would be in the middle of scorching heat

So the lord arranged some protection shade for him

So the final day had come for Haridas Thakur and finally that final day on the final date Chaitanya mahaprabhu had gone as usual to meet to give Darshan to Haridas Thakur it was arranged previously that morning was going to be last morning last day for haridas thakur occur in this world in that body of Haridas.

So all those devotees all those associates of Chaitanya mahaprabhu they were having wonderful amazing kirtan chanting and dancing and roaring kirtan .

Haridas Thakur he was lying down and mahaprabhu was next to him standing finally Yehh this final moment is coming so please listen to this don’t miss okay do not sleep

The claimax is coming claimax

So Chaitanya  mahaprabhu places his Lotus foot  only one not foot on the  chest of Haridas Thakur

Yehh

You know what he has done what did he do ??

I want to know where are you seeing that ??

You may also like lord doing something similar when your ,  my last ay comes .

So Haridas Thakur immediately grabbed a Lotus feet of Chaitanya mahaprabhu with his both hands

That’s that was act number 1 okay then only few more attention

A next thing was Haridas Thakur eyes you have eyes his eyes were fixed on lotus face of Chaitanya mahaprabhu drinking the nectar of the beauty of gaurangas  lotus face

And one more thing is going to happen you know what .. I will tell you just listen .

And Haridas Thakur well earlier his mouth was kind of closed or shut, then he opened his mouth  .

Last word utters was sri krsna Chaitanya

Hari bol…….

So all that happened there is more but all this much happened that morning on this day 500 year ago

Who has departed

namacharya Haridas Thakur has departed .

Namacharya Haridas Thakur is also called Brahma haridas Thakur.

Why ??

Anyone???

Bramha has appeared as hariras Thakur

Brahma has Acharya Brahma is like Adi Aacharya original Acharya the first Acharya of the disciplic succession he is also called adi kavi

tene brahma hṛdā ya ādi-kavaye muhyanti yat sūrayaḥ

Lord had imparted knowledge unto the heart of Brahma and empowered him as a chariot the same and we belong to that disciplic succession bramha madhva  gaudiya Vaishnav  that’s all that you are you are all bramha madhav gaudiya  samprday bhakton ki Jay

So bramha who is more known for a being knowledgeable because he was the one…. first one lord imparted knowledge to him he was known for knowledgeable person .

But in the age of Kali of course knowledge is always there but the process to for liberation final liberation I am getting love of God here is to chant the holy names of the lord hare Krishna hare Krishna Krishna hare hare Ram hare Ram Ram hare hare

So lod Chaitanya mahaprabhu who is Krishna himself

He wanted Brahma to become Acharya of the Holy name also .

So lord  is the one Chaitanya mahaprabhu gives this title of namacharya Haridas Thakur or bramha Haridas Thakur he diaparts in the very presence of the lord Chaitanya mahaprabhu they this departure is also compared to it is similar to grandfather vishma ‘s departure

Grandfather vishma was lying on the bed of arrows in kurukshetra .

And then he wanted to live he had a power that he could leave the body any day anytime that he wants to as per his choice . He had a choice. And he has such a benediction to she wanted to leave particular day

It’s called of course called makar Sankranti Day

Makar Sankranti 14th of January the sun is migrates and transmigrates from Southern hemisphere to the Northern hemisphere there is a one particular day that migration is completed or something like …

Save the news spread grandfather bhishma leave on this day this particular day .

Lord Krishna was in Hastinapur with Pandavas .

This was so on after battlefield of kurukshetra Krishna was there.

Their grandfather Bhishma was there .

In fact on that day of the battle

Grandfather Bhishma was shot with arrows

And then he was lying on the bed of arrows so after several month why lord was with the Pandavas and in Hastinapur they received the news that grandfather Bhishma is ready to leave

 as Chaitanya mahaprabhu knew or it was decided that Haridas Thakur is going to be leaving next day that day Chaitanya mahaprabhu had come there similarly Krishna find out that grandfather Bhishma is leaving body in kurukshetra on particular day . He took all the Pandavas with him . And lord went to see him off byeee

So like Haridas Thakur was lying on the some kind of bed .

Grandfather Bhishma was lying on the bed of arrows and Krishna comes abs stands before positions himself in the way that grandfather bhishma could take his Darshan could be in the view .

So while Grandfather Bhishma was taking darshan of the lord and remembering the lord.. he was specially remembering the lord

In kurukshetra while he was driving the chariot of Arjun.

Those were kind of immediate memories of grandfather bhishma’s memories of Krishna from kurukshetra battle and he was offering prayers lying on the bed of arrows and his offering his prayers to the lord and the prayers also are being heard by 100 and thousands the news had spread of grandfather bhishma’s departure so many RajRishi and DevRishi and mahrshi had assembled.

So earlier the kings had arrived for the battling now the sages had arrived and then knew that there is going to be pravachan .

Some katha some prayers by grandmother bhishma we want to hear all that

So grandfather Bhishma was in the 1st canto of Bhagvatam chapter number who remember???? Is it 9 ???

The chapter called grandfather Bhishma’s Stutis or the prayers in the very first Canto so there’s kunti maharani’s prayers are there that is 8th chapter or something. And then grandfather Bhishma ‘s prayers famous prayers are there .

So those prayers who uttered while he was taking darshan uttering this prayers

So while offering prayers taking darshan of the Lord possibly why not? Maybe Lord has stepped forward he was there for sometime you could have touched there is something appreciation of good devotee, good boy. So that touch has happened. The prayers are being offered and personal darshan of Lord is also available and then Last breath and it departs. So “Namacharya Haridas Thakur” departure is compared with in ‘Chaitanya Charitamrita’ briefly compared with grandfather Bhishma’s departure. Grandfather ‘Bhishma Dev ke Jay’. Who’s also one of the 12 Mahajans and Haridas Thakur is Great Acharya of the Holy Name.

So we pray on this day Haridas thakur departure day for have some mercy upon all of pray us. So that we could keep chanting. Holy names of the Lord “Name Ruchi Jive Daya” Vishnav’s Heaven. And one should this is small statement says one should have ‘Ruchi’ liking,love for the holy name. One should also seven serve the Vishnav’s. ‘Jive Daya’ be kind, compassionate.

Extend your helping hand to faithful people, new people. Wanting to come closer to Krishna on the Way to Krishna. the Help them, Help them (Hari Hari…) So all these kinds of thoughts and culture has come all the way to Kazakhsta. “Nitai Gaur Premanande Hari Bol” We should Thank “Gaurang” Thanks “Namacharya” ‘Shri Haridas Thakur ke Jay’ Thanks ‘Srila Prabhupada ke Jay’

Krishna has appeared again in the form of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Where does Krishna take his birth? He was born in Mathura Vrindavan and Krishna has many incarnations and they can appear in many different places, and that is exactly what happens.

But when Krishna appears in the material world, he appears in Vrindavan only. So Sri Krishna Chaitanya is Krishna, Krsnas tu bhagavan svayam.

In the first canto, third chapter of Srimad Bhagavatam, there is mention of this and at the end it is mentioned, ete camsa-kalah pumsah. This verifies what we have just said about incarnations of the Lord, in that they are all plenary portions of the supreme Lord, or parts of the plenary portions of the Lord. Then there are those who are parts of the parts of the planetary portions of the Lord.

But krsnas tu bhagavan svayam, who is Krishna? The original supreme personally of Godhead. He is the original personality of Godhead, the incarnations are different. Sri Krishna is the source of all incarnations and the incarnations come from him who is the supreme cause of all causes. Lord Krishna takes birth in the form of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in Mayapura but he is the same original supreme personality of Godhead.

He is not an incarnation of, he is the same Krishna appearing and so Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is not different from Lord Krishna, he is the very same personality of Godhead. They are not two, they are one and the same who have become two. There cannot there are any ifs and buts about this matter, and if someone asks how is this so, because if this is the case then he should be taking birth in Vrindavan, then we can say that Mayapura is the same Vrindavan.

Mayapura is the same and non different from Vrindavan. Mayapura dham ki jai. Just like there is a Gokula in Vrindavan, (Krishna jinka naam hai, gokul jinka dham hai (to him whose name is Krishna and abode is Gokula), in the same Gokula there are twelve forests where Nanda Nandan, the son of Krishna had his pastimes. These very forests are present in Navadwipa where Lord Chaitanya takes his birth, and indeed they are eternal.

In Nawadvipa where the Yogapitha is where Gauranga Mahaprabhu appeared on this day five hundred years ago, that place is not different from Gokula. And the same Krishna is appearing as Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. And his parents who gave birth to him, who should they be? They should be the same Nanda Baba and Yashoda, is that true or not? Then of course there is Vasudeva and Devaki so it could be any of these two sets of parents.

This is not the only fact, let’s say today Lord Krishna has appeared in the form of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and that’s why we are speaking about him again and again. But also the other thing is, Krishna alone did not manifest in Vrindavan. It was filled then with his devotees, his friends and his own entourage and the Gopi’s, and it is the same even today.

In Navadwipa Mayapura the same personalities have appeared and so just as Krishna became Sri Krishna Chaitanya, Nanda Baba came as Jagannath Misra and then Saci Mata was there. Balaram hoila Nitai, Balaram becomes as Lord Nityananda, and like this, there is a long list in the book called Shri Gaura Ganoddesha Dipika. This is a book which is describing each and every devotee in Krishna Lila, and who they come as in Gauranga Lila.

Even Uncle Kamsa appears again as Chand Kazi and he who gave the Lord’s their names in Mathura Vrindavana, Gargacharya is present there. Here Krishna is there in the form if Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu then he who have him his name in Krishna Lila will again do the same now in the form of Nilambara Chakrwarti. He is the same Gargacharya in Krishna Lila.

So like that it’s a long list and also I was thinking that there is a slight difference between Krishna and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and at the same time there is no difference. No difference, no no no- there is no difference! So Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is not only Krishna, but rather he is Radha and Krishna. So Radha and Krishna are one and for their Vrindavan pastimes they become two.

When the Lord appears in Mayapura, those who had become two to enjoy in vrindavan, they again become one in the form of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. In the Sastras it is said Sri Krishna Caitanya radha krsna nahe anya. Radha and Krishna combined together are Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. If he was only Krishna, he would only be as merciful as Sri Krishna was.

But Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so much more merciful than Lord Krishna, and what is the reason for this? It is beca he has come as Radharani along with Krishna. Karunam kuru mayi karuna bharite, she is filled with compassion. Radharani is famous for her mercy, and so Krishna is always prayed to along with Radharani, and when they are together, Krishna becomes Maha Vadanyaya, greatly merciful or the most merciful.

He becomes great hearted and so we cannot say that they are two because they are not two, they are one. In the home of Vrindavan and the home of Navadwipa it seems as if there are so many states in between these two places like Upttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharakhand and it takes 24 hours to go from Vrindavan to Mayapura by train. But this is not the fact, because actually these two places are next to each other.

But we are just thinking that they are far away from each other, which is our misconception. Where does Krishna live? Goloka namni nija dhamni, the planet Goloka, the Lord’s supreme abode. That Goloka which is one, has two parts. One part is Vrindavan where Radha and Krishna have their pastimes. The second part which is next door or applying the corner, there the same Radha Krishna of Vrindavan become one.

Here they are one for eternity and they perform their pastimes in this way. It seems so far and then we look at where Dwaraka is and Vaikuntha and Pandharpura, then there is Ayodhya. All these dhams, vyakto ‘vyaktat sanatanah (they are) eternal and is transcendental to this manifested and unmanifested matter.

Krishna is saying that whenever he descends or whenever his incarnations descend, he perform his pastimes in his different abodes accordingly, such as Saket dham in the spiritual world, which is the original replica of Ayodhya dham here. Just like there is Goloka and Vaikuntha is the spiritual world, Saket dham is there also. Jai Sri Rama!

In the spiritual world, Vrindavan and Navadwipa are next to each other and in Vrindavan there are many pastimes which are performed including the Rasa Lila, which is the most special pastime of the Lord. Rasa Lila is the topmost pastime. In Navadwipa, Mayapura the most important pastimes are Kirtan pastimes. In Vrindavan Krishna dances in the Rasa dance with Radha and many other Gopi’s, whereas in Navadwipa, Radha and Krishna become one in the form of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Then all the Gopi’s, so many of them, become associates of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, they become male members, plenty of them. Just like Rupa Goswami, he was in Vrindavan, so the six Goswami’s are all Gopi’s and Manjari’s. So Rupa Manjari is Rupa Goswami in Vrindavan. So Rupa Manjari is obviously female, but in Vrindavan he takes a male body. The same thing is with Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

sundara lala sachi dulala nachata sri hari kirtana mein. (The beautiful darling cold of mother Saci is dancing in the Kirtan of Lord Hari). He has beautiful anklets on his lotus feet and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu himself is dancing in Kirtan of the Lord. Here this much is said and so now Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has appeared, he has or no? (Shouts of Haribol)! At that very time of his descent, Kirtan was going on -or we can say that the Lord made the Kirtan happen for his descent.

Slowly Chaitanya Mahaprabhu himself started his Sankirtan movement and his dancing in the towns and villages.

Just like when Krishna, along with Radha and the Gopi’s would have their Rasa dancing, and for your information, this Rasa dance lasts from 10.30 in the night till 3.30 am, a full five hours non-stop. The. There is Julhan Yatra, the swing pastimes and the pastimes in the water between Krishna and the Gopi’s. There is dancing and so on and so there was a time in Navadwipa when Chaitanya Mahaprabhu along with his associates, sri krsna caitanya prabhu along with nityananda sri advaita gadadhara srivas and other devotees who are uncountable; started their Kirtan.

Mahaprabhu kirtana nrtya gita

vaditra madyan- vaditra means with musical instruments. Vaditra madyan manaso rasena, this Kirtan and dancing lasted all night long, just like the Rasa dancing between Lord Krishna and the Gopi’s. Then they gradually bought this Kirtan on the streets and they Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu performed Kirtan in the whole of Navadwipa.

So there was singing of Kirtan and dancing, then Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu took Sannyasa. It is written in Mahabharata, suvarna varna hemango, the Lord is golden in colour. The Lord will be Gauranga, of a gold complexion and he will take Sannyasa. This was all foretold in the Mahabharata, that he will be born on the banks of the Ganges to Saci, and many scriptures have foretold Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s appearance in the same way.

So if you want proof, then the proof is that in the scriptures and there are many references to his birth. And only if the proof is foretold like this, can we accept the Lord Chaitanya as the supreme Lord, otherwise not. So Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu took Sannyasa and he travelled the whole of India. What do Sannyasi’s do? They travel and preach.

Bhutani bhavyani janardanasya, Sannyasi’s show compassion to the fallen souls by preaching about to the supreme personality of Godhead. Bhuta means the living entity, not some kind of ghost. Anugrahayeha caranti, they wander everywhere to preach because they are Anugraha, compassionate. In this way, the Sannyasi’s have become as good as the supremeLord himself.

By travelling everywhere, they are purifying the whole world, well at least India. There was a very big scale of preaching. Wherever Chaitanya Mahaprabhu would go, just like the Lord went to Jagannatha Puri and he would go all over south India and he would then return back to Puri. From there he went to East India, Bangladesh and like that he would go to all the places.

He then again returned to Jagannatha Puri and as soon as he reached back, he prepared to go to Vrindavan. At that time he was going through the Jharkhand forest and he showed his supreme nature of being the supreme personality of Godhead. You understand west that means, his supremacy? You can say this is the Lord’s opulence.

This supremacy includes the Vaibhava, the opulence of the absolute truth, and this was fully shown when the Lord went through the Jharakhanda forest. Another thing that should be said is that when Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu would go to a village with a smaller population of people living there, say around four hundred people, that place would immediately become filled with a thousand people.

There was no advertisements, no banners, no posters and no email messages, nothing. Nobody knew how those people would reach there and come together. Of course the Lord knows as he is the knower of everything, but nobody knew who was arranging this all, who was communicating and organising and sending messages that ‘tonight Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is coming to the village Punyanagari.’

The people would just come to know about this because Chaitanya Mahaprabhu himself is in everyone’s heart, sarvasya caham hrdi sannivisto. What does the Lord do in everybody’s heart? Mattah smrtir jnanam apohanam ca, ‘from me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. I am doing this. I dont just sit in the heart,’ the Lord is saying.

The Lord is very active and he is the well wisher of the living entity in whose heart he resides. Who else is the well wisher?

The lord is asking this question and is saying, ‘for you I have appeared and is there anybody else apart from me who is your real friend?’

Sukadeva Goswami is saying that you have got your children, wife and body just like soldiers who are useless and so they are not much help. This is especially the case when Yamaraja or the Yamaduta’s come. You may have guards who are standing ready with their guns and their german dogs. ‘Beware of the dog!’ So will the Yamduta’s be scared of this and not enter the home? No!

And when you have fallen in this way, you will be surrounded by doctors amd loves ones. ‘Daddy Daddy, say Bhola.’ Daddy was dying and the house was full with friends and family and Daddy only has one or two life breaths left, and so the son says ‘please Daddy say Bhola.’ He was a devotee of Bhola, Lord Siva but what did Daddy say? ‘Coca cola.’ (Laughter).

Our Sarvabhauma Prabhu found out out when he went to Haridwara to the place on the banks of the of the Ganges where the water falls, and there there were quite a few bottles of coca cola and some people were distributing this coca cola. Sarvabhauma Prabhu asked them, ‘why are you freely distributing coca cola?’ They answered that they were fulfilling their Daddy’s last wish.

‘We were asking him to call Bhola but our Daddy answered coca cola.’ So it is possible that he went to coca cola loka in America. The sons continued, ‘we thought that he wanted to drink coca cola, and to fulfil his last wish we are distributing coca cola here.’ Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ki jai. So the merciful Lord stays with us, and you must have wondered that when Lord Krishna danced in the Rasa dance, he was with each and every Gopi.

Another Gopi, another Krishna. Same Krishna but different Gopi’s and for as many Gopi’s who are there, Krishna expands to be with each and every Gopi. Sometimes one may think, ‘This is partiality. Krishna becomes one for each Gopi but he is not doing this for me.’ Actually this is our ignorance. So if you are a living entity, and you must be because if you were not a living entity then you would not be here listening to this cl-ass.

And if the living entity goes away, then you cannot even return home today. Those who are living are called living entities and that is the definition of those who are alive, but the body is not alive although it appears to be living. But the body is dead even now. It is not that this body is called a dead body when life comes out of it because the body is always dead. The body is made of the five material elements which are not alive.

The soul is that which is living and so the Lord is with all of us individually. Although he’s the supreme one he becomes Eko bahu shyam, eko means one and bahu means many. So he becomes many and he becomes as many as there are living entities. And although he is uncountable, at the same time he is the same one. This is the Lord’s compassion upon us that he stays with us.

We never leave a small baby alone, and the baby’s mother is with him constantly, she is around him, behind him or next to him. If the child is going to school then sometimes the parents take the child to school, and then they go back to bring them home. Like that they never leave children alone. In the same way, our souls are like small children and so you parents take care of your small children, but where did this emotion or thought of looking after your children come from?

This has been given to us by the Lord, rather he is the original father and mother. If parents such as yourselves can take such good care of your children then the Lord who is our mother and father, is taking so much care of as many living entities as there are, because they are his children. He takes so much care, a hundred times more or thousand times we cant even imagine.

So Krishna is not heartless, Hari Hari. Is there any need to emphasise trust the Lord has feelings and especially the feelings of mercy. And he cares, so therefore people say, ‘I’m putting my life in your hands.’ This very Lord leaves his Goloka and appears here to awake the living entities’ feelings of loving devotion or to awake them from their sleeping slumber. The living entities are sleeping,

Till when will you sleep in the lap of Maya, wake up. And who is telling them this? Lord Gauranga. Gaurangais calling, ‘wake up, wake up.’ Further the Lord is saying, ‘bhajibo boliya ese samsara bhitare, when you were in the womb of your mother, you promised, ‘oh Lord, oh Lord, this is enough.’

So much pain and anguish has to be tolerated by the living entity in the womb, if you were to remember this or to hear this, you would just stand up crying. So the living entity so cannot tolerate this pain anymore, starts to pray to the Lord saying, ‘oh Lord, this time, please release me from this pain. As soon as I am born, I will start to worship you. I will worship you my Lord.’ This was what we said, but bhuliya rohile tumi avidyara bhare.

As soon as you are born, you immediately get covered by ignorance, ‘mummy Mummy.’ This all starts as soon as you come out of the mother’s womb and then you forget everything else, including the promise that you had made to the Lord if he released you. Lord Chaitanya further says, ‘tomare loite ami hoinu avatara, just for you and just to make you remember, I have descended to give you my Darshan and also I have many things to say to you.

I come to tell you the message of the Bhagavad Gita, and also dharma samsthapanarthaya, I come to dharma samsthapanarthaya so you can become religious and you will sarva dharman parityajya mam ekam sharanam, abandon all varieties of dharmas and simply surrender unto me alone so you shall take up religion. We can also take other meanings out of this message.

Who else is your friend? Is there anyone? A friend in need is what? Yes, a friend indeed. Can anyone else save you at the time of death? And we will need a lot of help then, ‘help help, help!’ At the time of death we will need a lot of help but no doctor, no relative or no dog at the entrance, or no guards and no bank balance, nothing will help.

Who could help? A friend in need, so this is where you are in need of help, only God can help. Doctors cannot do anything, at the end they raise their hands towards the sky and say, ‘its up to him, now you must pray.’ So he is the only one and thats why it is said in the Bhagavad gita, ‘suhrdahm sarva bhutanam, I am the beneficiary of all living entities.’

He has given this quote in the peace formula and what is that?

‘Sarva loka suhrdam, i am the benefactor of all living entities. He is my dearest closest friend.’ What a statement! And who is saying this? The supreme Lord is saying to the conditioned living entities, ‘I am your friend.’ If anyone can understand and if this happens, is there any need to worry? God is your friend, in case you did not know God, you may know that he is your friend.

So as we are talking about Doctors and medication, one day Chaitanya Mahaprabhu came with a message.

‘I have bought the medicine because you are diseased, you are Bhava Rogi.’ this is the disease of being too attached to this material world. They are also kama Rogi, they have the disease of lust. They also are Krodha Rogi is the disease of anger. Lobha, greed is also an enemy of the living entity. The six enemies of the living entity are Kama lust, krodha, anger. lobha, greed, moha, illusion mada, pride and matsarya and envy.

Being envious of others, these are all diseases and they are all enemies of the soul. ‘So I have come with the remedy.’ What is this remedy?

And where has this medicine come from? It has come from Ramban, the ban, bow of Lord Rama. And it has never come to be that Lord Rama’s arrow would ever miss the target. That’s why this is called Ramban and also Rama’s bow is one, his vow that he has made is to have only one wife and he has given this one promise to marry only once. There is so much more we could say about this.

So all glories to Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and this holy name is the medicine that has come out of bow of Lord Rama, enchanting the holy name is the Dharma, religious principle of Kali yoga.

So Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu descended, and he inaugurated the holy name. Dharmo rakshati rakshitah, Dharma protects those who protect it. If we upkeep religious principles and protect them, then those very religious principles will then protect us. Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu did not descend just for the Indians.

He did not only want mamas good of the Indians, why would he do so? Who do the living entities in all other countries belong to? They belong to the supreme Lord and not the don’t know the Lord by a specific name. When you do not know the Lord’s name you say ‘Bhagavan or Iswara or God.’ But those who know his names also know the he has one thousand names in which Krishna is the principal name.

Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu jai. The living entities all belong to him. I don’t know what others call him, God or I don’t know, this is another topic. This is why Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu had come, to save everyone and indeed he wanted to save everyone. But nothing happens just by one’s desire only, there must be some practical application.

So the Lord told a prophecy in which he said, ‘Harinama ausadhi, I have bought the medicine is the holy name.’ So we have got the Ramban, the medicine of Lord Rama’s bow which is the Dharma, religious principal of chanting Hare Krishna Hare Krishna.

‘Sarvatra pracara haibe mora nama, in every town and village throughout the world, my name will be preached.’ Here the Lord is emphasising that it is his holy name

How far will this holy name reach? Prthivite ache yata nagaradi grama. Do not undermine this but highlight it. In as many towns and villages that are present, sarvatra pracāra haibe mora nama. ‘So this Hare Krishna Hare Krishna are the Lord’s name, and you are Krishna himself, one may address the Lord like this.

‘No I am not only Krishna, I am also Radharani and Krishna. So my name is spread all over the world, this means that Hare Krishna will be preached everywhere.’ And who is Hare? Radha. When the Ha meet the Ra, it becomes Hara and Hare, and of course Krishna is present there in the form of his name.

Basically this is the holy name, the Maha Mantra and this has been given to us in the form of the sixteen names. And this holy name will be preached all over the world. This prophecy was told by Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, five hundred years ago and AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada made this prophecy come true! Srila Prabhupada ki jai!

He formed the international Society of Krishna consciousness and he personally travelled all over the world fourteen times. He started preaching the holy names all over the world, and alongside this he made temples in every country and introduced book distribution of his own books which he wrote. He also translated Chaitanya Charitamrita in English with his purports. All the information of Lord Chaitanya is in this one book, but that book was written in Bengali language.

That is how Chaitanya Mahaprabhu would reach all over, as he is and at that time, nobody knew anything about him and his form or pastimes. Srila Prabhupada first of all translated Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita in English and then he told his disciples, ‘translate this book in as many languages as possible.’ Now this book is available in almost one hundred languages, Haribol!

This is also the reason why Gauranga Purnima is being celebrated today in more than one hundred countries! Haribol! Srila Prabhupada made these books get distributed and he preached far and wide. The Hare Krishna people did not just perform Kirtan indoors because Chaitanya Mahaprabhu didn’t do so much Kirtan indoors. He performed Sankirtan outdoors prominently.

Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the supreme Lord himself performed village to village Sankirtan and so this Hare Krishna movement is everywhere around the world. That is why we are recognised everywhere and people recognise us and say, ‘oh these are the Hare Krishna people.’ This is how we are recognised and our movement is also known as the Hare Krishna movement, and we are the Hare Krishna people. Hari Hari.

Jagannatha Swami Ki jai

Jagannatha Baladeva Subhadra Maiya ki jai

Radha Rasa Bihari ki jai

Srila Prabhupada ki jai.

Wherever I go, I am seeing Lord Jagannatha. Also I was in Jagannatha Puri a few days ago which is the Dham of Lord Jagannatha.

This is the prayer in Jagannatha Puri and it is actually a prayer at the Lord’s lotus feet. ‘Oh Lord Jagannatha who lives and stays Jagannatha Puri, and also you are not alone, as you are present there with your older brother Balarama and in between them is their sister Subhadra.

Lord Balarama was the seventh son of Vasudeva and Devaki, Krishna was the eighth son and Subhadra was the ninth and she was their daughter. They are all present in Nilacala, Jagannatha Puri dham ki jai. I was just about to say that it is so difficult to leave this place. Okay can you sing this?

Jaya jaya jagannatha sacira nandan. ‘Oh Lord, your worship is performed all over the world. Jagannatha Swami ki Jai! You are lord Jagannatha who in Puri, carry the conch shell, disc, club, and lotus flower. Oh Lord Jagannatha, when you appeared in Mayapur Dham in the form of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and then took Sannyasa, you held a Sannyasa stick and a waterpot. Nadiya nagare danda-kamanaalu kar.

And the truth is that when you appeared as Lord Rama in Ayodhya lila, you killed Ravana! Jai Sri Rama, Rama Navami is coming soon. Then in Dwapara Yuga, as Lord Krishna, you revealed the splendidly opulent pastimes of Goloka in Gokula. In Kali Yuga you have come in the form of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Gauranga Gauranga.

What did you do when you appeared in the form of lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu? Goloker vaibhava lila prakasa korila,’ and then? Hare Krishna nam gaura korila pracar.

You distributed these holy names. Hare Krishna nam gaura korila pracar. This bhajan, as you may say in your language, is a five hundred years old bhajan or geet, a song. When Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was on Earth, there was one associate of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu whose name was Vasudeva Ghosh.

He is being mentioned in this bhajan. Vasudeva ghosa bole kori joda hat, Sri Vasudeva is folding his hands and is pleading in humility and he wants to say something. This whole bhajan is highlighting what he is about to say in conclusion, jei gaura sei Krishna sei Jagannath. So what has he said? Jei Gaura, he who is Lord Gauranga or Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, he is the same Lord Krishna and he is also the very same Jagannath.

In Treta Yuga Lord Rama appeared, jai Sri Rama! In Dwapara Yuga Lord Krishna appeared, Jai Sri Krishna! And in Kali Yuga appeared Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ki jai! So they are all one, all three- Gauranga, Krishna and Jagannatha Swami. Jagannatha himself has appeared in these three forms. So there is Lord Jagannatha, Sri Rama and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, but the Lord’s most recent incarnation who has actually just appeared a short while back, is who?

Who was the latest incarnation? Do you understand when I ask you who the latest incarnation was? It is Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ki jai! He appeared only five hundred and forty years ago in this world.

Did you know this? In each age the supreme Lord appears and just recently in the beginning of this Kali Yuga, Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared and he also did the same Dharma samsthapanarthaya. He established the principles of religion, and these religious principles are the same for everyone. Since all of time, the principles of religion has always been one and the same.

That religion principle is not called the Hindu religion, but rather Sanatana Dharma. Sanatana, this literally means the religious principles to follow forever, Sanatana. Sanatana means eternal and therefore it doesn’t have a beginning and nor does it have an end, that means there will never be an end to this eternal process of religious principles.

Other religious processes have been started at some time or another and so therefore it means what? They have to have an end soon. However these eternal religious principles are for all living entities, although one may believe that they are from some other- this religion or that one. You can call this the Bhagavad Dharma, and to establish the religious principles, the Lord appears in the material world, just like Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has.

There are different rules and regulations in accordance to the religious principles and so in Kali Yuga the process of religion is Harinam. Harinam Sankirtan ki jai! In the scripture it is said

It is also said that the Lord’s name is greater than the Lord himself. How is the Lord’s name? It is the same as the Lord himself, and it is the principle of religion in the age of Kali, darkness.

In the beginning of Kali Yuga Narada Muni is the preacher of the principles of religion because he sings ‘Narayana Narayana’ whilst travelling through the whole universe. He is a great preacher of religious principles. He often goes to visit Lord Brahma in Brahmaloka which is also called Satyaloka, and it is even higher than the heavenly planets. Once Narada Muni asked Lord Brahma about Kali Yuga, the dark age of quarrel and hypocrisy that has come upon us.

We know what this age is like, Kaler dosa-nidhe rajann, this Kali Yuga is the ocean or a treasury of faults and contamination. It is a storehouse of bad qualities and it is full of faults. Yes, or no? If you pick up the newspaper, it is always reporting of this problem and that problem. There is always war and we are also at war with an internal enemy which is lust. Our other enemies also include anger and greed.

There are also three more enemies and these six enemies all together represent our internal enemies. Kama (desire), Lobha (greed), Krodha (anger), Moha (delusion), Mada (pride), and Matsarya (jealousy). They all have their separate identities just like anger and then there is greed, of which there is no end. So these are our true enemies. Just like Pakistan is india’s enemy and so is China. America is the enemy of Iran, just like Isreal is the enemy of Palestine.

Just like this these six are also our enemies.

‘Oh Lord,’ Arjuna said. ‘Please tell me why, even though we don’t want to, we are forced to act in a way in which we don’t want to. Why are we forced to act in a sinful way? We really don’t want to this and we say to ourselves’ don’t do it, don’t do it!’ Krishna then replied ‘kama esa krodha esa rajo guna samudbhavah, It is lust only, Arjuna, which is born of contact with the material mode of passion and later transformed into wrath.’

That’s why Arjuna asked, anicchann api varsneya balad iva niyojitah, oh Lord, please tell me, why does one act unwillingly, as if engaged by force? Why do we act in a sinful way and what is it that impels us to act in a sinful way, although he may not want to do so? It’s like a great force which makes us act even against our own will in a sinful way.

We then perform sinful acts, but what is that great force which makes us act like this and how does it have such power to make us do this? Krishna replied that it is lust only that makes one act in sinful ways. When lust cannot be fulfilled, it turns into anger and then one cannot even think properly and then acts in a sinful way.

After all this, certainly the living entity feels remorse or shame at what he has done. There are three modes of material nature, goodness, passion, and ignorance. The mode of passion brings anger and lust as well as greed and these are the enemies of humankind. They are keeping the living entities, especially in human life, very busy by making them lusty, angry and greedy.

Kaler dosa nidhe rajann, these bad times will be present in the age of Kali, which is what we are seeing. So what can we do about this and how can we become free from these enemies? Sukadeva Goswami has said, kaler dosa nidhe rajann

asti hy eko mahan gunah, although Kali yuga is an ocean of faults, there is still one good quality about this age.

What is that? Kirtanad eva krsnasya

mukta sangah param vrajet, Kirtan of Lord Krishna!

What does this Kirtan do? We become free from these bad habits, free from unwanted association. We become free from bad qualities like lying and cheating and attachment to these bad habits. The chanting of the holy names can free us and in this way we will go back to Godhead. We can go back to Godhead! Krishna Kanaiya Lal ki!

So as Narada Muni reached Brahmaloka, he started to speak to Lord Brahma. He asked Lord Brahma what should be done in Kali Yuga now that it has appeared. ‘Should I preach the holy names and glories if the a Lord? In what way should i preach the glories of the supreme Lord? Please explain this all to me, oh Lord with four faces.’

Lord Brahma said,

This whole thing beginning from Om till the last line ending with vedesu drsyate, all this was spoken by Brahma. And what is it he said? This Mahamantra which is made up of sixteen names, sodaasakam namnam, kali kalmasa nasanam, can free one from the evil effects that we have upon us in the age of Kali, by our chanting these sixteen names of the Mahamantra.

Immediately after hearing this Narada Muni started his preaching of the holy names and he also came again five hundred years ago and he was Srivas Thakur at that time.

The Lord himself has appeared in the form of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Krishna has appeared in this form. Balaram hoile Nitai, Lord Balaram has become Lord Nityananda and Sadashiv (Lord Siva) and Maha Vishnu has appeared in the form of Advaita Acharya. Srimati Radharani has appeared in the form of Gadadhar Pandit. In this way Narada Muni has appeared in the form of Srivas Thakur.

In this form of Srivas Thakur who is a preacher of the Holy names, has opened his home up at Srivas Angan, and he has invited Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda Prabhu. He told them, ‘Please start Harinam Sankirtan from this place!’ From the home of Srivas Thakur:

Translation

 I offer my respectful obeisances unto Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Nityananda Prabhu whose arms extend down to their knees, who have golden yellow complexions, and who inaugurated the congregational chanting of the holy names of the Lord

They who were Rama and Lakshman in Treta Yuga, have appeared as Krishna and Balarama at the end of Dwapara Yuga, and they are the same who appear as Gauranga Nityananda, Gauranga Nityananda! They are Krishna Balarama from Dwapara Yuga and Rama and Lakshman from Treta Yuga. So they are the two leaders of the Sankirtan movement that they are going to now create.

They are going to install the Sankirtan Yagna, the sacrifice of Sankirtan. Both Gauranga and Nityananda Prabhus together, have begun the Sankirtan movement from the home of Srivas Thakur. Narada Muni himself has appeared as Srivas Thakur! After this, udilo aruna puraba bhage, dwija mani gora amani jage. (When the rising sun appeared in the East, the jewel of the twice-born, Lord Gaurasundara, awakened).

Then there was the inauguration and then

Lord Gauranga and Nityananda Prabhu would take innumerable devotees of Navadwipa and would perform Nagara Sankirtan, singing Sankirtan throughout all the villages. There would be thousands of people in the party, and this is just recently, five hundred years ago. You can say it is history and in the Kirtan, the Mridanga drum would be played, which is not playing at this moment.

The Khol, Mridanga would make which sounds? Tathai Tathai, tathai tathai bajalo khol, ghana ghana tahe jhajera rol. (The mrdangas (khol) resounded “tathai, tathai,” and the jhanjha [large metal karatalas that look like small cymbals] in that kirtana played in time).

Bolena bolo re vadana bhori, All the devotees chanted the names (of the Lord). Along with the Sankirtan there would be preachers in the party, who would tell everyone, ‘all of you please chant!’ Some people have just woken up from their slumber of sleep and they are getting ready. ‘Hey chant, speak!’ ‘What should I speak?’ Chant Mukunda, Madhava and Hari.

And how should one chant? With strength, shout the Lord’s name with love and with your mouth full of the Lord’s name. Your mouth should be filled with the love of the names of the Lord. With all your life and with love, chant the names. Namasraya kori’ jatane tumi, thakaha apana kaje. ‘All of you, please take shelter of the holy name!’

They all shouted with so much strength that we can still hear that chanting from those days in Mayapur. The whole universe was filled with that chanting, and till this day this sound is echoing everywhere. The transcendental sounds which are spoken or chanted or sung, they are never finished or gone. These transcendental sounds are also in the sky and they purify the atmosphere by which we are influenced, the eternal transcendental sounds.

nama bina kichu nahiko aro, caudda bhuvana majhe, (There is nothing but the name to be had in the fourteen worlds). The preachers say that there is nothing else apart from these holy names of the Lord. This is Bengali language, nama bina kichu nahi. There is absolutely nothing apart from the holy name in the whole world. There is nothing, nothing at all. In these Kirtans, the supreme Lord himself, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, preme dhala dhala sonara anga, carane nupura baje (Lord Gauranga’s shimmering golden features

danced, and His footbells jingled).

The Lord would dance after putting ankle bells upon his lotus feet. Preme dhala dhala sonara anga, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was golden, sonara in colour. Krishna was Shyamasundar, and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was also Sundar, beautiful, but which Sundar? He was gaurasundar. There is Shyamasundar and Gaurasundar.

Ajanu lambita bhujau kanakavadatau, he has long arms and sankirtanaika pitarau kamalayataksau, his eyes are like lotus petals. Dvija varau yuga dharma palau vande jagat priya karau karunavatarau. There are both the incarnation of mercy personified, and both Gauranga and Nityananda Prabhu together performed Kirtan and danced everywhere. In this way they inaugurated the Harinam Sankirtan all over.

As they went on preaching, in the midst of that preaching, they met with two greatly sinful persons, in fact so sinful were these two, that they are named as the two most greatest sinful people, as sinner number one and sinner number two. Their names were Jagai and Madhai. Lord Nityananda went forward to request them to chant the Lord’s name, and he was begging to them, ‘pray chant the holy name, just chant!’

But they were not ones to listen as they do sinful and were both holding bottles of liquor, and they threw that bottle of liquor on the head of Lord Nityananda. Lord Nityananda’s head was bleeding and as soon as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu found out that these sinful persons had offended the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ran towards the place in anger that this sinful action had taken place.

As he ran towards that spot, he called for his Sudarshan Chakra, and immediately Sudarshan appeared on the scene. Lord Nityananda held Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and appealed to him, ‘if you keep calling Sudarshan Chakra, nobody will survive in this age of quarrel. We are not supposed to kill them or harm them in any way, but instead we must kill the demoniac habits and thoughts within them.

The anger, lust and greed inside of them, and the illusion, attachment and pride are the demoniac influences upon them. The demoniac desires must be killed along with these other terrible vices. So how’s will these be destroyed?

‘If they can take up the chanting of the holy names then they can be saved. Otherwise your lives are about to be taken.’ They both took shelter of the Lord and they made a vow, ‘from today we will stop all sinful activities!’ Are you all ready to do the same? Otherwise you have to die. You must stop all this. Otherwise you are in lust, and when there is an invitation from the Hare Krishna temple, you are too busy working hard for lust.

We are lusty, angry and greedy, and these bad qualities are keeping us so busy that we have no time to go to the temple. Hari Hari. A man was driving his car at such speed ..

Jaya jaya sri caitanya jaya nityananda

jayadvaita candra jaya gaura-bhakta vrnda

Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ki Jaya!

Karila Pracar, so Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has taken Sannyasa and the pastimes of Nimai’s Sannyasa have just begun which means the Lord’s Madhya lila (pastimes during middle period) have started. Sri Krishna Mahaprabhu will now travel everywhere to preach.

In the bhagavatam it is said, bhutani bhavyani janardanasya. The devotee’s of the Lord travel to preach Krishna consciousness having mercy on the conditioned souls. Of course this is Sri Krishna himself but other devotees also do the same including Sannyasi’s and Brahamacari’s. There are also other preachers who bhutani bhavyani janardanasya (travel to preach).

They are bhagya (greatly fortunate) divya jana, (celestial beings), mahajana (great souls), parivrjakacharya (travelling preachers) Anugrahya caranti nunam SB 3.5.3). Grahastha’s (married devotees) also always travel everywhere to preach the glories of the Lord, caranti nunam. In the same way, to follow these great souls, Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu preached all over South India.

Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu got ready to go on this Yatra which he started from Jagannath Puri and as he was travelling he reached Ahobilam. Nrsimha Bhagavan ki Jaya! This is where Lord Nrsimhadeva appeared from inside a pillar and now Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has reached this place.

Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is preaching the devotional cult everywhere and is installing this principle in everyone everywhere. Another truth is Vasudevah sarvam iti, Vasudeva is everything, Vasudeva is all in all. Lord Chaitanya is so eager to spread this philosophy, prabhura siddhanta keha na pare khandite (nobody could defeat Lord Chaitanya in establishing the cult of devotion to the supreme lord).

Of course nobody would have been able to because he is the supreme Lord, krsnas tu bhagavan svayam. And the lord appears for the main reason of dharma samsthapanarthaya. The supreme Lord himself establishes the principles of religion and as he is appearing on the Earth at the same time.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is establishing the devotional principles by defeating all other devious philosophical conclusions in South India, and by doing this, he is making all the residents of South India into Vaishnavas. Haribol!

We are reading this from the Chaitanya Charitamrita in the Madhya Lila, and so the Lord met the Pasandi’s, the atheists and the pretenders on his way. They were behaving in an irreligious manner and showed hypocrisy and deceit in their dealings. One Bauddhacharya has reached with many of his disciples and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu wants to speak to them and discuss Sastra, the vedic texts.

This philosophy of Bauddhacharya is also atheistic and they have nine philosophies and Srila Prabhupada I spoke spoken about these in his translation to these verses. So Chaitanya Mahaprabhu spoke to him about their conclusions

Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu purified them all, the Bauddhacharya and his disciples, and liberated them from the false conclusions they held. In this way, the Lord also diminished their false pride. He smashed their philosophy to pieces and you can say he turned everything into a powder, by taking everything apart and smashing it. In this way, he smashed the atheistic philosophy as well as their pride.

In presence of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, they were not able to establish their cult. They could not defeat the Lord through the Sastras.

They all became fearful and shameful, and they started to fight amongst themselves. Just like when dogs fight, and then when they lose, what do they do? When they were fighting, their tails were high up in the air, but when the dog loses, what does it do? It keeps its tail between his legs.

Those poor Buddhists went back to their homes and then after a while they got together and had a discussion. Sakala bauddha mili’ tabe kumantrana kaila. All the Buddhists got together and they began to plot against the Lord. Kumantra, they plotted to do something.

The plot they made was putting untouchable food on a big plate. This means they put meat and fish on that plate also, and who knows what else was put on that plate? All of them bought that plate and they put it in front of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and they said, ‘we have bought Maha Prasad for you.’ They claimed that they had offered it to the deity, and therefore they were calling it Maha Prashad.

At that time a great bird came- (aside) please look here, there is nothing to see there. That great bird picked that big plate up with its beak and picked up that plate. As the bird was flying away with the plate, all the untouchable food that had been kept on that plate, was thrown down into the air and it landed on the heads of those who had prepared it.

There was a big Abhishek, a bathing ceremony for Bauddhacharya and company and there was a shower of all this inauspicious food. All this had taken place due to that great bird, and then the bird dropped the big plate on which all these untouchable foods had been placed. That plate fell straight onto the head of Bauddhacharya and he started to bleed.

As he was feeling dizzy, he said and they fell onto the ground losing consciousness. His students were all trying to bring him back to consciousness but they failed to do so. Then they all started to run towards Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and began to speak.

They all ran towards the lotus feet of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and they began to speak.

This group of students now came on the right path and what are they bow understanding? They understand the Lord Chaitanya MahaPrabhu is the supreme Lord himself. By making all these things happen with the huge bird, the Lord had already showed them his greatness and supreme position. So the group of students must have realised that the sudden appearance of the giant bird on the scene was arranged by the Lord.

The bird not only came upon the scene so suddenly, but it carried the plate and the all the untouchable food on them. So they realised who was behind all this and they spoke to the Lord, ‘It is you only, oh Lord, who has made these things happen.

Mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa caracaram, the Lord says that ‘this material nature, which is one of My energies, is working under My direction, and it is producing all moving and nonmoving beings.’ The Lord is saying that not one leaf moves without his permission. The Lord is the witness and the giver of sanction, this is what is said in the Bhagavad Gita. He is the witness and permitter, Haribol! Don’t sleep.

Maybe it’s the Lord who is making you sleep, because even a leaf cannot move without his sanction, and so he is the one who moves our eyes and eyelids to close and to sleep. We could blame the Lord, ‘oh you are the one who is putting me to sleep! You are the supreme controller. Iswara means controller.

So all these students are there and Bauddhacharya os not even in knowledge of what is happening, as he is lying down unconscious. But the rest of the party, the Buddhist disciples are seeing everything and they are beginning to understand that this is all the plan of the Lord. The bird has not just come there but rather it has been called there. There was no such bird when Chaitanya Mahaprabhu reached there initially but then..

Having seen all these occurrences, they are all understanding who the Lord is. ‘Tumi ta’ isvara saksat. Krishnadas Goswami had written that the Lord has performed this pastime for all of us as well to understand that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the supreme Lord. By listening to and by reading these pastimes we should come to the conclusion of who this is. And who is this? Saksat, directly, tumi ta’ isvara saksat, you are directly the supreme personality of God head.

Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ki Jaya! He is Chaitanya what? Mahaprabhu. Prabhu means a Lord or a master, a boss. We sometimes think, ‘oh I am also a Lord or master.’ We are small masters and Lords and then there is Nityananda Prabhu and Adwaita Acharya Prabhu, they are known as Prabhu.

They are also the supreme Lord but in the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya, only he is called Mahaprabhu, the Prabhu, or Lord of all Lords. Everyone else was known as Prabhu and Lord Chaitanya was Mahaprabhu. Others are the Iswara, the controllers, but Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was Parameshwar, the supreme controller.

So the Lord is forgiving them for their offences, ksama aparadha.

Jiyao amara guru, karaha prasada, ‘we were feeding you untouchable things disguised as Maha Prashad, and we told you it was Maha Prashad for you. But now please give us Prashad.’ Prashad is also known as mercy so they are asking for the Lord’s mercy. Tvat prasadan mayachyuta (BG 18.73). (Arjuna said) by Your grace my illusion has been dispelled.

So at least Arjuna has called the lords instructions mercy. What is Bhagavad Gita? Prashad, mercy. Nashto mohah smritir labdha tvat prasadan mayachyuta. Achyuta, means that the Lord never falls down from his position. ‘You appear in this material world, but when you appear, you do not fall down from your position.’ You are infallible, Achyuta.

Chyuta means to fall down, but this is nevet the case for the Supreme Lord and therefore he never falls down. The influence of Maya, the material energy can never cover lord Krishna, this is not possible. And therefore one of the Lords names is Achyuta, infallible. Arjuna was thinking, I fell down. Karpanya dosopahata svabhavah. What happened to my thinking? Karpanya, I became a miser and low minded.

That was why at the beginning I was not ready to fight the war, i had become miserly.’ Arjuna is admitting that he had become weak and miserly. Karpanya dosopahata svabhavah. Then, dharma sammudha cetah, Arjuna became bewildered by irreligion. That is why, ‘sisyas te ‘ham sadhi mam, I am becoming your disciple.’ Bruhi tan me, this knowledge is for my benefit, Arjuna is saying to the Lord.

Then the Lord said many things to Arjuna and at the end, Arjuna is saying to the Lord, ‘thank you, thank you. Whatever you have given me is your mercy.’ The Lord is giving his mercy to everyone but they don’t want it, they are not taking advantage. Then the party of Buddhist disciples said, ‘karaha prasada.’

They were asking for his mercy. ‘Who do we ask for your mercy for? For our spiritual master. Please make him conscious again because he is not dead. He is in this situation because of his offence to your lotus feet, but please save our spiritual master, help! Help!’ So we know that the Lord is all merciful, is that correct? If you hear with attention you will know this, and you must open your ears and your eyes also should be open.

If we listen with open ears, then our eyes will also open. Eye opener, do you understand this term? ‘Oh wow! That was an eye opener! That really opened my eyes, you know!’ When Krishna heard about the feelings of the residents of Vrindavan’s pain in separation of him, it was an eye opener for Krishna, Balarama and Subhadra. ‘Result, really? Wow!’ So the wow factor was also there and as they continued to listen, the Lord heard of the pain of the residents of Vrindavan due to separation from him.

The Lord’s eyes were opening and opening wide and they opened so much that now Jagannatha’s eyes never close. The Lord doesn’t ever experience blinking of the eyes and so that was a real eye opener for Krishna. Hari Hari. The Lord is now willing to bestow his mercy upon these students.

The Lord told the Buddhist disciples, ‘if you want that I give you mercy in the form of Prashad that i may feed your spiritual master, then what must you do? You all chant ‘Krsna Krsna Hari.’ Go to your spiritual master and chant this mantra in his ear. And how must it be chanted? Krsna nama ucca kari, the Lord’s names must be chanted loudly.

So they chanted the Lords names loudly, and they had no other alternative, so they did as they were told to do. The party of the Buddhist disciples then loudly chanted in their spiritual master’s ears

Krishna, Rama, Hari. The Buddhist disciples began to chant, Jai Jai Rama Krishna Hari, Jai Jai Rama Krishna Hari (Maharaja sings this). In Maharashtra, the devotees of Lord Vitthal, but not only his devotees but others also, s ing this Kirtan mostly. Anyway on the day of Ekadasi it is an Ekadasi Uttsava, a celebration of Ekadasi. All Ekadasi’s are celebrated as a festival in this way in Pandharpura and all over Maharashtra.

Ekadasi is celebrated as the greatest festival and there are four Eladasi’s which are very important, Ashadhi, Kartika, Magha and Chaitra Ekadasi’s, are the four Ekadasi’s in these four months. And out of these four Ekadashi’s, two are most important, Ashadhi Ekadashi and Kartika Ekadashi. And of these two Ekadashi’s, Ashadhi Ekadashi is most important, and it is also known as Shayani Ekadashi.

Kartika Ekadashi is also known as Utthana Ekadashi and so on Shayana Ekadashi the Lord starts sleeping for a long period of time and he sleeps for four months. You are thinking, hey it’s is good news! The lord sleeps for four months but unfortunately Maharaja is not letting us sleep for one moment. So there was chanting there of Jai Jai Rama Krishna Hari.

Thats another thing, but Tukaram Maharaja was initiated in his dream, and Tukaram Maharaja is writing in verses of his writings of poetry and song to the Lord. In these verses, there is some understanding of his own character in form of a biographical sketch. Tukaram Maharaja took rest in a Thursday night and so he writes about his dream.

A person appeared there and he gave his introduction and said do you know who i am? My name is Ragahava Chaitanya, or Keshava Chaitanya. Tukaram Maharaja further writes that ‘this personality gave me initiation in my dream and also he gave me a Mantra. What was this Mantra? Rama Krishna Hari.’ Therefore this is the main mantra in Maharashtra because Tukaram preached this Mantra everywhere.

Jai Jai Rama Krishna Hari, Jai Jai Rama Krishna Hari. So it seems that this Mantra was again authorised by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Srila Prabhupada ki Jai! So it seems that this may be the Mantra that the Buddhist disciples chanted in the ears of their spiritual master. Cetana pana, their spiritual master gained consciousness as he had been unconscious for some time.

cetana pana acarya bale, what did the Acharya say? ‘Hari’ ‘Hari!’ He had been lying there as if he was dead like a tree and as soon as he heard this Mantra, he jumped up and what did he say? ‘Hari’ ‘Hari!’ He also did Kirtan of the Mantra Jai Jai Rama Krishna Hari or otherwise he chanted

By this time, many people had gathered there and they all became witnesses as the Acharya chanted the Lord’s holy name. They have all become astonished to see all this which has taken place. They must have seen as a large bird appeared and threw all the untouchable food upon the Buddhist disciples and party, and also what happened after that with the Acharia becoming unconscious.

They were shouting ‘help, help!’ And what is the help one offer? Chant Rama Krishna Hari, and they did this. The Acharya also heard this chanting, and he jumped up chanting in the same way. He saw that everybody was dancing and partaking in the Kirtan. Dekhiya sakala loka haila vismaya, so in this way everyone was astonished.

Ei rupe kautuka kari’ sacira nandana, seeing all this happening, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu suddenly left the scene, although there were many people who had gathered there. So we should do something for these people who have curiosity Krishna consciousness. So you app do please do something for them by preaching, because maybe you don’t have the admiration that they did, as they all had stood there to see what was happening.

Antardhana kaila, keha na paya darsana. Suddenly Chaitanya Mahaprabhu suddenly left. The Lord did not usually do this by leaving suddenly, but here he did so and the people took his Darshan of suddenly disappearing . He was in the midst of all the people when this was pastime was happening, and then in front of vision, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu disappeared.

After disappearing like this, although the Lord has nothing to prove to anyone, we can come to a conclusion as who he is, and who is Caitanya Mahaprabhu? He is the supreme Lord, and only the supreme Lord can disappear from everyone’s vision in this way. By his own will he can appear and by that very same will he can disappear. This it is only possible by the supreme Lord. In this way the Lord has given Darshan in this way by disappearing and you can take Darshan of this particular pastime of the Lord.

This is also the Lord’s Darshan, to see how he has disappeared from everyone’s vision, what is this? This is also Darshan.

The lord reached Tirupati! This is easy for the supreme Lord, there was no rail Yatra (travelling by rail), no Padayatra (walking for long), or air Yatra (travel by plane). He was in Ahobilam a few moments ago, and next he is – well he can become Lord Vamana, Trivrikram. If Lord Vanana can step over the whole universe in step, then that same Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu can do the same.

So one of the Lord’s legs is in Ahobilam and the other org is in Tirupati, and in this way the Lord reached! Govinda! Govinda! So we have our Govinda here and we are not sure if he wants to see us or not, but we certainly want to see him. So we end the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya here and we will get ready for Darshan now. Notai Gaura Prem Ananda Haribol!
