otherwise we forget what we hear or learn. 2) In what path our consciousness, our thoughts are directing. 3) Because of PM SB starts. We get BG because Arjun was in doubt. That means when need is there that time mercy will flow or situations will happen when it is needed. So bhakti should be intense. Arjun had that intensity. He desperately wanted to take shelter of Lord. Similarly when PM had taken shelter of Lord that time SB incarnation possible. 3 questions 1)How PM was great? 2)How was his death? 3)What after his death? Last question is important. When we respect anything then only we hear or read with complete concentration & then result is sure. Without respect we dont pay attention without concentration no result. When respect then result. So we should respect SB, person Bhagvat or subject matters related to SB. We give respect to whom, one likes us. That means we are respecting our own senses. So we should respect Lord Krishna without condition. Unconditional acceptance of Lord Krishna & His words as absolute. So while darshan we start
with lotus feet because that is respect & service.
There is not our wanting or desires. Our desires come after the service. When our service is fixed, our desires will be purified. If we desire to serve Lord then all material desires will automatically purified.Shrill Prabhupad said, you are all are pure devotees as you all are on the correct path of bhakti. If anybody is bating with water but foolish will say he is dirty because ,they dont see water, they see dirt. Actually water is pure & dirt is impure. SB is kings good administration. Good king means good administration means good chance to people to achieve perfection of life. But now all citizens are in anxiousness therefore unless one life is not arranged by such a way that we have time & energy to think about life. We dont know what will happen in next life. We cant be casual it is happening, in one moment we get another body which? Which we dont like. Because to do good work, pious work is very difficult in this age of Kali. And if wish to do even it is difficult but to do sinful activities is natural. Death in kaliyug means sure downgrade not upgrade. In satyug, treat yug possibility of upgrade but in kaliyug very difficult. At the time of birth of Parikshit M. Ashwthama, brahman putra & at end Shringi rushi are the causes of PMs miseries. So imagine brahman which Lord Krishna likes most were become PMs enemy. It means from birth to death constant miseries only. One should not expect very flowery life. If this can happen with PM then why do we
expect something better than that in our life? Why do we
consider Because I am devotee, I will get best facility the best environment Why? What karma we have done, You are confident? In devotees life it didnt happen in pandavas life it didnt happen in the life of great souls , then how do we expect everything will work smoothly in our life. Our soul is very much detached, alipta of this whatever we are seeing outside, paining, worries are because of Man, buddhi, ahankar, feels it. If soul is very much attached then pain will increase. Brahmastras heat had not affected to that means because he had raised his consciousness in absorbed in consciousness of Krishna. The effect of misery doesnt affect him. That means he became aloof. That means we are responsible for our situations. & Situations of conditions of our karmas. We should not change situation of our karma. We should change the situation of our consciousness. We have to attach our conscious to Krishna, we will not affect by Brhmastras heat. So if the start of his life is by krishnas darshan so does not his end by Krishnas darshan? Therefore one should try to make our life perfect from birth. But if we want to change the life of other then start with now itself as early as possible. What type of darshan he got? Angushta matra Beautiful turban, golden, shyamvarna with gold, Yellow shining dhoti. 4 handed, red eyes, was like shooting star, Lord Krishna moving with His club. Imagine the original
color which is not available here. Lord can take
incarnation in small or virat rup also. He can take small swaroop, can do big work & can take big rup, can do special work. Lord Krishna is not limited even though He is invisible. Adrushya but He is asimit, unlimited. I am not seeing Lord Krishna but what is the power of Krishna. Abhimanyu From where he came from? The qualities and physical element both are inherited from the parents. So if one not strong physically & spiritually the child also will be weak. So we should give our nature to the next generation so we have to be fit spiritually first then we can take responsibility. Abhimanyu knew chakraview when he was in the womb of mother so important to develop a character so without character we cant transmit character. If we have character only then we can transmit character otherwise we will transmit like Dhritrashtra, andhe ka putra andha. Abhimanyu was veer, he entered the chakraview without thinking others are coming back of me or not. But he fought valiantly that he defeated everyone. Then it was very difficult to them to defeat him. So they found only one way that they will attack same time & very fast. They attacked on his Bow-Arrow, Chariator, wheel of chair, ghode ka lagam.. six people attacked same time. It was not happened in whole mahabharat that six maharathi attacked one time. No weapons were with him.
& then with blue sword & shield he fought in air by
jumping in sky. Then Dronachrya had broken his sword in two pieces. Then he faught with wheel of chariot, he was not stopping at all. He kept on fighting even he had no weapons. It means that to perform our devotional service we dont need so many weapons we have determination & encouragement like Abhimanyu , we can fight maya with or without weapons as long as we have HK mahamantra. Mahamantra is the ultimate weapon. He killed so many people & at the end with gada defeated the son of Duryodhan , Durjay. He was the youngest warrior. Arjun killed Karna very easily. At the end they attacked on the head and they killed Abhimanyu but when he had fallen down on back with smiling face he left the body. His face was peaceful; happy satisfied no any tinge of anger. And in this way Abhimanyu was veer & his son was Parikshit. And when we hear related to them then naturally we will get there qualities. Very inspirational, same type of consciousness & quality imbibe in our self so such role model should be in our life. But if role model like Aishwarya ,Dhoni then all time seeing in mirror & no work will be done. Set hairs & makeup. But when we hear about Uttara, Subhdra, Abhimanyu & make them Role model then bhakti Charitra will establish in us otherwise material character. So when we hear SB, we automatically inspire by such quality. Here saintly persons requesting to Shuk dev goswami that please tell us about Kings so King is greater than
saints. Yudhistir M. Showed Abhimanyus astrological
chart to a astrologer. According to that nakshatra, What will be the influence on that person is fixed it is like DNA of our physical character, what this person will achieve everything is in that kundali. SP said just there are no precise astrologer , it doesnt mean that this science is wrong. Just as the misuse of the science doesnt means there is no use. Shri Bhakti Siddhant Sarswati Thakur was astrologer, he had written Surya siddhant book. We follow Vaishnav chart that had also written by Shri Bhakti Siddhant Sarswati Thakur. What he thought that if I became very much expert then expectation of my society members will increase & they will tell do only work of astrology, he gave up astrology. Our work is to change nakshtra by bhakti & show the way of Krishna. If no such yog then how to push them towards Lord Krishna Bhakti. Bhakti is our work. Because of his aggression and strong cutting words, people called him Sinhguru.chopping technique to Apsampraday because after Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhuvery much down falls in Bhakti cult. They only misused of CMPs emotions but not His sidhant. They only spread of Raslilla, gopi bhav. Many sects started due to this - Only superficial act like Gopis. Then free mixing of woman men. Its became like cheap thing of mundane lust. So very bad image spread of Bhakti so people thought bhakti sect means debauch (lampat). Shri Bhakti Siddhant Sarswati Thakur cut many things to set up actual bhakti. Because Shri Bhakti Vinod Thakur had
given complete principles & accordingly Shri Bhakti
Siddhant Sarswati Thakur setup framework & in that frameworkShrill Prabhupad painted very nicely Lord Krishnas picture. So first principle means composition of frame then in frameShrill Prabhupad fit Krishnas photo. So first is the principle then framework then spreading therefore we are getting very pure & easily. First we clean & then chop vegetables remove unwanted things, worms (kida). Shri Bhakti Siddhant Sarswati Thakur did that part & every king would have to do that chopping unwanted elements. Yudhishthir M. was strict father wanting welfare of the child to enforce very strict regulations also. ThereforeShrill Prabhupad said I never compromised so I didnt say in paschatya desh ok, u can do this that rather I was very strict. It is very difficult. Once Shrill Prabhupad was in Calcutta mandir , people in that place were having ill feelings with each other.Shrill Prabhupad called all and He asked where is Yamuna mataji so one said she went somewhere else as these people were in angry. Shrill Prabhupad said one devotee go & call her. She was chanting infront of one lake. Then Shrill Prabhupad asked all, tell me your realizations. Then Shrill Prabhupad said What do you think, I brought all Krishnas mercy, I got & come here to distribute to all, Dont think that I come from Golok Vrindavan to come to Newyork. I have to face heart attacks. I had taken 40 rs. For ten months where I was staying for few days my food kept with food of cat Coming to USA, ON cargo SHIP IS NOT EASY. Trunk full with sets of SB , it is not easy I came
from which culture? My mother used to take palkhi for
going one place to another. Now how I am living & spreading does it easy for me? You are thinking you are doing so much you are going through so much & therefore you are not in high consciousness. You are in low consciousness. What we think Shrill Prabhupad was mahan so He did so much. We are simple Shrill Prabhupad was great but to become great He went through like our path. The way which single person fight with of his or her existence. So Lord Krishna doesnt do in pure devotees life that so that devotee may think I am having supernatural power. Lord Krishna gives life in such a way that He goes exactly through what an ordinary person goes through. Therefore dont think it is going to be easy to do bhakti.
For Ashwmedh yadnya, Yudhishthir M. told Arjun to go all
the places that time Lord Krishna was also with him, with horse. So on one cheat of paper written that the one who will stop this horse , have to fight with us or Yudhshthir M. is the Samrat. So if you consider him as a samrat then give tax. When they went to Mayurdwajs Kingdom, his son tamradwaj stopped horse and they were having his own horse. So war had taken place. And in that war he won with his weapon & Lord Krishna also in unconscious state. When he went to his father & told him whole thing & how Lord Krishna also becomes unconscious. Then his father said you are fool. Why did You do such work? He is our
Lord so go & call Him. So then Lord Krishna had taken
brahmans Swarup, He is expert in asking & giving forgiveness. So Lord Krishna told we are brahmans so give us alm. And from our side Bheem will fight so Lord uses brahmanas strategies. He said that one demon has taken my son & he said that you give your flesh of half of the body means Kings half body. Till that point demon will not release my son & give in such manner that right side of your body should give to your son & wife. And by cutting his there will be no tears in anybodys eyes. So son & wife started cutting the body of King then when one side cut left side eye had tear so Lord said we will not accept this. Lord is so much strict , King said left eye had tears because right side body thought left side of body is very much fortunate as it is offered to Lords service but not me. Lord said, it is incredible your sacrifice, consciousness. Lord showed them Virat rup. So Lord said he is the superior devotee than Arjun also So the devotee who sacrificed everything for Krishnas service. Our body, mind everything Lord Krishna tests them in bad stand. And release His intimate love for devotee but we all are in different give up mode. And non-devotees are in different. Give up mood (own existence) & we give up our effort. SO Shrill Prabhupad at the age of 70 yrs. Went to outside world is needed enthu, patience & determination. So this is the test of bhakti. For only hearing it seems very easy chant Hare Krishna , hear SB but when the actual time comes that time our character is checked,
tested & when we listen, our patience increase then we
think OK for one week you do at least some bhakti. So again next to next weak we see others r doing & herad something so again extend our Bhakti this is require. So doing bhakti frustatedly , Lord Krishna doesnt like that consciousness. very live. Lord Krishna likes pure enthusiasm. Lord thinks this is very smily devotee I am hearting him even he is serving happily. Then Lord Krishna said I felt crying by your happiness mood I have given you so many paining even you dont go away. So our that birth & death like Parikshit M. we will also go through exam. So we have to become alert for the exam. So our japa, ygnya, dan always we think how our attachment to Lord Krishna is increasing & what we are giving to Lord. When we decrease our giving in that level our struggle is increase so we have to give by ygya, gyan tap. Our giving propensity increases by giving & giving our strength increases. To give our consciousness to Lord. At last we have to give up everything to Lord. But if we dont do now then it is difficult afterwards so let us take inspiration of Parikshit M. life that there is no limit to giving. 1. Darshan & struggle 2. Gita & war 3. Shant & virya 4. Renounce & full of oppulances 5. Kranti & shanti Both processes will happen simultaneously, Bhakti means life of paradox. But only peace, only satisfaction devotees imagination if this will happen
then it is good so this should be happen like this. So
we stop struggling, so let us take struggle is the bhakti do it with Utsahat, nishyat, dhiryat tat karma pravartatat. So far Parikshit M. exam & ours life exam we will understand this in our life darshan & sangharsh simultaneously we will live our life with enthusiasm, determination & patience. & determination for doing bhakti. Charitra (purification) & Prachar both should be at same time. Shrill Prabhupad ki Jay!
