TESAMA SATATTA YUKTANAM…….

Lord says he gives intelligence to one and all and lord expects that we use that intelligence to go back to him.

So Lord says that he gives such intelligence to one who is engaged in serving lord continuously, SATATA.

Example of himself (GM) when he was  a child: GM’S MOTHER USED TO TELL HIM TO PRAY TO A DEMIGOD AND ASK HIM TO GIVE SOME INTELILIGENCE AND WHEN GM CAME TO KC, HIS MOTHER WAS NOT HAPPY AT ALL AND SHE GOT ANGRY ON LORD AND TOLD HIM THAT I NEVER ASKED YOU TO GIVE SUCH INTELLIGENCE….

So, one who executes the devotional services continuously gets such intelligence to go back to Him.

Also Lord says that I am sitting in the hearts of all the living entities and not just sitting but also interacts with that soul and also gives knowledge, remembrance and amazingly also the forgetfulness.

Sometimes they say that THIS IDEAD’S TIME HAS COME.

So for you all souls, Krishna’s time has come as you all are remembering him all the time.

The  word remember originally comes from Latin and it means that something that was already known to us, so to remember lord means that we already knew Him but from long time we remembered him again and some medium came to remind us about him. So remembrance about the Lord is very natural. A soul and super soul are naturally connected with each other, it’s natural and eternal. Someone may come and go in our life; we forget them and never want to remember them. Like some  of our school friends, we forget them, some bosses we came across and we never want to remember them, so many people became our parents and also we became parents of so many but we never remember that and its forgotten but the relation of soul and super soul is eternal. We may have some previous relation to Lord that’s why in this life time we are His devotees, so we should thank god.

In the west they say; thanks giving day. So we should thank and remember god for giving us this human form. Only in this for m we can sit like this, hear about lord, do Kirtan, go toVrindavan, chant Hare Krishna, and take part in Jagannath Rathyatra….. And like wise, so who does this? only humans can so we should thank god.

And we know name of god so no need to just call hum god. Like if someone knows somebody then he calls him as Mr. john but others may call him just as mister. So we know the name of god so no need to be impersonal to him. He is Krishna, he has parents also. Actually he does not need parents as he is the father of every one.  And god is great and that great god is Krishna, he is my friend. If a great person like a minister stays next to us then we say that such a great person is my neighbour. So we should also say that such a great lord, master of the entire creation he is mine. BHOKTARAM YAGYA TAPASAM….

So we have a relatio0n with such a great person, so continue this relationship, cultivate it, strengthen this relationship.

SO HOW DO WE CULTIVATE AND STRENTHEN THIS RELATIONSHIP?

BY CHANTING….

Chanting with attention, with devotion. Chanting constantly, all the time and calling out that oh Lord, I am yours so please accept me and engage me continuously in Your service. So this is the mood of chanting so every mantra we chant, our relationship becomes stronger and reminds us about it.

Every name has a deep meaning and mood so by chanting continuously we are reminded of the relationship and also the deep mood.

EXAMPLE; AS DOCTORS DO INOCULATION AND THEN ENTER THE DISEASED AFFECTED AREA AND THEY ARE NOT CAUGHT BY THAT DISEASE.

So similarly first we have to inoculate ourselves by Hare Krishna Mahamantra and then enter this material world and then we would not be affected by it. Also we need to do service, give association, read books and likewise.

You all are also Sadhus so you all can also give and take association, as we were hearing from Bhakta Malu LAVA MATRA SADHU SANGA…. So you all can also do it and also can go to temple to take association of Sadhus who are practising Krishna Consciousness from a long time. Whenever, some senior devotee comes we should go and take his association.

So likewise if we are inoculated by all this then we will not be affected by this world. This world is terrible. I was there in Tirupati for one week and the mood over there was completely different then here, Dham protects us so yesterday after leaving from Tirupati and coming to Delhi was a experience, its completely different here, so much passion, so much fashion, it’s terrible.

PYASA BADHAO, PYAS BUJHAO….

Yesterday while coming from airport we saw an advertisement and one lady was holding a bottle of Limca and was saying this, of course Limca may be an innocent drink but the way of promoting is terrible.

EX: A YOUNG MAN IN MUMBAI SHOWING LIMCA BOTTLE IN HIS HEART …..

LIVE LIFE KING SIZE…..

So they say that use the cigarettes of our brand and your life will be like a king…. You must have seen them ..they smoke…..(laughter as GM acts…)

So keep chanting and also follow our 4 regulative principles no intoxication, no meat eating, no illicit sex, no gambling…..

So keep practicing Krishna Consciousness and we become better people, better human beings, and better quality people. Our numbers are multiplying.

When 60 years ago, Mahatama Gandhi time the population was 30-35 crores and within a short period of about 40 years it has multiplied. So we are increasing quantity wise but quality wise we are diluting, we are not concentrated. You understand its chemistry word.

So by practising Krishna Consciousness we make you a better person, we add quality to your life we make you concentrated. This is very much needed, simple living. At many places they are realising this; simple living and high thinking.

Sometime back when I was in America I met a group of people and they  said ; Swamiji we are using KISS FORMULA, so I said we are Swamis and we have nothing to do with kiss but then they said no not that kiss but it means; KEEP IT SIMLPE STUPID. So keep your life simple, stupid.

So in many areas of west they are coming to this level but not we.

So when our life is simple we can have high thinking, but if we have animal life then what can we expect about our thinking.

SO ARE THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS?

1. Sometimes when we hear scriptures we get confused and it becomes hard to believe so what to do?

KEEP SOME PATIENCE AND WAIT FOR SOMETIME, YOU WILL GET INTELLIGENCE TO ACCEPT EVERYTHING. WHATEVER IS WRITTEN IN SCRIPTURES IS A COMPLETE TRUTH SO WAIT FOR A WHILE AND CHANT HARE KRISHNA…..AND EVEN IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING AND ALL THE DETAILS OF SCRIPTURES BUT IF YOU JUST CHANT HARE KRISHNA THEN ALSO YOU CAN GO BACK TO HOME, BACK TO GODHEAD.

2 .What is meant by simple life?

LIVING A SIMPLE LIFE MEANS NOT TO BE COMPLICATED. AS WE GET COMPLICATED, WE ALSO LOOSE OUR INTELLIGENCS AND WE FORGET OUT DESTINATION, OUR GOAL OF LIFE. SO TO BE SIMPLE MEANS TO BE STRAIGHT IN OUR DEALINGS. SO TO BE SIMPLE MEANS TO DRINK WATER AND NOT WINE. SIMPLE PEOPLE EAT GRAPES BUT COMPLICATED PEOPLE DECOMPOSE THAT FRESH FRUIT AND DO SO MANY THINGS SO THAT IS COMPLICATED LIFE….SO DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS; THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SIMPLE AND COMPLICATED LIFE.
