The following is a lecture on Navadvīpa-maṇḍala Parikramā given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja on March 5, 1982 – in Śrī Māyāpur, India.

Of course, we are not interested in Punya or in thought. We want to be absolved of all our offenses and get pure devotional service. So if we multiply 1000 times nothing, what will we get? Therefore, Śrī Naboba said, when we come to the time, we should chant, we should serve, we should hear, we should speak, we should always be engaged. And this way we get the maximum benefit. So shall I believe God has actually taken the essence of our previous society’s orders. When Bhakti Binotaq wanted to have a fabulous temple that Nichinanda Prabhu had predicted, so it ordered the governing body commission and Iskaan devotees to build a temple which would be so wonderful that it would establish Caitanya Mahabhar’s message all over the world.

And then he advised us that although Lord Caitanya has not given us birthplace to worship, we should know that birthplace is undoubtedly the most sacred place of the Lord’s first touching this world. But then, of course, this says Lord Caitanya left his birthplace and went all over India. I went to Jagannath, putting it out in the Sankirtan party throughout Mawadeep. In the same way in the Gītā described Jan Makarman samay dibdang, my birthday. My activities are both transcendental. So Kariba explained that is the Janmo stan. This is the Jannahstan, this is the birthplace. And he said that our Māyāpur chandrabah mandir, this is the Kalmistan janmo and karma, they’re the place where we develop the activities of Caitanya Mahabharata. What is it?

Activity?

Sankirta movement. From where the Sankirtan movement is expanded, this was always the desire of Śrīla. Pray that this thank you time movement should expand to fulfill the desires of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. So regarding this very esoteric instruction, how to understand the Janmo stan Karmistan, how to use our lives to fulfill the desires of Chaitanya Mahabu. I like to request to kindly enlighten us.

The mom is super high Christ number five. So to understand Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s movement and his activities is not a very easy thing. When Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu entered into Jagannath Purī, he immediately fainted before the deities of the lord. And at that time, the guard, he was a little bit confused. He saw Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu unconscious in front of the deities and he wanted to chastise him. So Sarva Bhumabhadacharya, he was a great logician. And he could immediately understand that Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu’s exhibition of transnational ecstasy was the sign of a very exalted personality. So he stopped that guard, and he took Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to his house to observe his signs of transcendental ecstasy. So in this way, well, Sarva Bhuma Bhattacharya was trying to understand the lord simply through his logician’s brain.

Govinda Charya began to discuss with the, with Sarva Bhuma Bhattacharya, who is Lord Caitanyama Prabhu, he described him as the yuga avatar. But Sarvabhumabharacharya, he could not understand these things. The point is that Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, to understand him, this is very confidential knowledge. All of this dhamma is known as Gupta Vrindavana. It is hind Vrindavana. It is not open to everyone. So Gobindacharya began to describe the glories of Lord Zaidani Mahabrabhu. But Sarbabhumabhadacharya interrupted him. He said, no, we cannot accept this conclusion, because in these shastras, the lord is described as tri yuga, which means that he doesn’t appear in the Kali yuga. So how does Lord Chitanya Mahāprabhu? He can be Kṛṣṇa himself, when the lord does not appear in the sea.

So in this way, by receiving the mercy of Sarva Bhamabadacharya, rather, Sarva Bhumabhadacharya, by receiving the mercy of Gobindacharya, and by receiving the mercy of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he was able to purify his dull brain, his heart. And the supreme lord revealed himself to Sarva Guma Bhattacharya. And he began to understand the reason for the lord’s descent upon this earth. After the appearance of the lord for so many hundreds of years, the birthplace also remained hidden, and it required again the transcendental ecstasy, the vision of Śrīla Bhakti bin al Takur, with the assistance of Jagannath Das Babaji, to find the Janmastan here. Now, in the Bhagavad Gītā, the lord says, Janmakarma tomative yamayvam yodi tatwada. He says that to understand my birth and my activities as divya, that is not a very ordinary thing.

There are so many millions and millions, 8,400,000 species of life, and they are all accepting this punar janma, this repetition of birth and death. But if one actually is very fortunate and has received the mercy of the Lord through his pure devotees, then one can become released. One can become released from the repetition of birth and death by understanding the activities of the Lord, his birth, his activities, everything like this. So once Bati Binod Thakur had revealed the birthplace of the lord, then the devotees became very much rejoiced, and the message of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu became rejuvenated in the sense that before, after the appearance of the Lord, in the interim, before Baki bin otakur discovered the birthplace, the vaishnav faith had become a little bit covered over, we can say, unmanifest.

So with the discovery of the birthplace, Baki bin o Thakur began to.

Push.

On the movement of Śrī Ketanya Mahāprabhu very vigorously and with the assistance of his son, Śrīla Bhakti Sadhan Tatara Swati Thakur Prabhupda Baptakur began to publish many literatures. He published many literatures, and Baptistirati Saraswati also continue the mission of his father, printing literature, opening temples all over India, gaudiyamas but practically speaking, it is one thing to have received the mercy of the Lord in the form of the janmistan, but in terms of understanding the karma or the karmastan, the sight of the activities of the Lord, that required still the further mercy of the empowered devotee of the Lord. Śrīla avoid Channaravinda Bhakti Bhananda, Swami Prabhupāda, because just like Prabhupda describes in this purport to the 9th canto regarding the activities of Lord Ramachandra, he says that those who were less advanced, the Kanista Arakari, they remained with Lord Ramachandra and Ayodhya.

But those who were more advanced, devotees of the Lord, those who actually understood the purpose of the Lord, they were sent out on this dikvijai mission to conquer in all directions to spread the glorious of the Lord in all parts. Those who were less advanced, they remained in the Janmistan, and those who were more advanced, they picked up the purpose of the lord, which was a preaching purpose. So in this way, Lord Caitanya Mapro, he also gave his order. He wanted his mission to be spread in every town and village of the world. But those who were not so advanced, they referred to remain in their temples, to remain in the Janmasthan. In that way, they were certainly devotees and they were enjoying the spiritual potency of the lord. But those were actually more advanced.

The preachers, they came forward and under the direction of the empowered representatives of the Lord, such as Rlabaki Saddam, Jasara, Swati Thakur, and more recently, Śrīla Prabhupda, they went out with this order, not simply trying to stay back, but they went actually carrying this order all over Rla Prabhupda. Like all of his spiritual God brothers, all of his God brothers, he received this order from Bhakti Siddhānta Saraswati. Bhakti Siddhānta Saraswati. He sent, in fact, some of his representatives, some of his God brothers. He sent them to London. So they went to London to preach. They went to a few clubs, they spoke to a few widows, and then they came back and said that the mission of Lord Caitanya ma Prabhu had not yet found fertile ground. They said like that.

And actually, Bhakti, Siddhānta Saraswati, he was looking for the way of introducing these teachings. Therefore, he asked that one of his preachers come forward and spread this message all over the world, specifically to go to the english speaking countries, because he was saying that India was under foreign domination. English, they were dominating India. So if he could go to the actual place of the so called conquered and conquer over them with Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mission, in this way, the whole world would become dark dominated. So like this. See the prophet, he left the Janmastan prophet. He was in Vrindavan. He left, actually, Bhakti Saddam to Saraswati. He had this mission always when they built the samadhi for him. Actually, Śrī, the prophet remarked that my spiritual master, he prefers to have his samadhi in Calcutta, because Calcutta was the field of his preaching activities.

So in the same way, that was the actual intent. Baptiste Saraswati, he was working in Calcutta, infusing this movement of Sangaton. He didn’t want that. It’s simply his. His advanced disciples, or so called advanced disciples, would stay back in the mutt. He wanted them to go out and preach. After his absence, practically the whole mission fell into, you might say, ill refute, because it wasnt completing with the instruction of the spiritual master. But Śrīla Prabhupda began to, in a humble way, with the distribution of back to Godhead magazine in English. And then Śrīla Prabhupāda went to the western countries, and we know its success. Now we see so many persons, they are coming back to the Janvastam. This is also the plan of Śrīla Prabhupda, because he says that he was to remain to preach india, the field was not very receptive.

But if he could go to the west and empower so many boys and girls, infuse them with Lord Caitanya’s movement and then bring them back to India, then the persons of India, as boks, even though Takur had predicted they would also become so he did like that. This was a formula that was a cheap imitation, was tried one time before one so called Paramahansa, he went to Chicago, he gave a big lecture and he wrote on the blackboard, nothing. And like this, supposedly he gave out some kind of mercy when he actually, nobody understood what he was talking about. But when he came back to India, they said that this so called Māyāvādī had encountered great success in the west. And in this way, people india became a little convinced.

And then he went back to the west and said, now people and so many people india are convinced. In this way, he cheated people on both sides. It was like this arus, he had given them nothing and yet he had such a following. But Śrīla Prabhupāda, he went to the west, he gave them Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mercy. And then when he came back to India, he created this karmistan, these Śrī Māyāpur Chandradoya Mandir, these heart of Lord Caitandra Sankatan movement. And in that way, he brought with him so many enthusiastics, persons from so many countries, America, England, Germany, Russia, France, Australia, all these countries here. And the Indians, they also became very much brought into Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s movement, as we’re also seeing. So now we have the mercy of coming to the janmistan.

But we can actually understand what is the transcendental purpose of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s event. And that mercy is available for anyone who will simply go out and distribute thousands of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books all over the world. This is really what we want. We want to see the brihat. The brihat. Mr. Pounding away. We want to see so many BBC presses printing thousands of literatures and so many empowered Sangreton devotees distributing literature to every living entity on this planet. All glories to Si Chitanyama Prabhu, all glories to the transcendental gangmasthan, all glories to the karmasan of Sila. Avoid Chattanaravinda bhaktived.

So from here.

We’Re not going to go after just a second.

Actually, it’s a very sacred place. Understatement. But he always wanted to do something for the birthplace of Rajitani and Mahapagu. In fact, he made a trust, gave the money to myself and several other trustees to do something here. Also at the birthplace. He said that we’re sitting in the birthplace when you visit, and there’s no kirito hall, there’s no place to sit in the sun, in the rain, in the weather. He said that Vaktilin Otakur need the birthplace of Lord Caitanya open for everyone. This is a separate trust that runs this particular place, separate from all the other temples.

It’s supposed to be a public place, but then they’re trying to get permission to build a cape town hall here for the past four years, and they’re still trying to pass the butt from one person to another, and no one will give the permission. So as a result, we’re sitting in the sun and they’re sitting in the sun. So Shrimpal had a separate vision, and they have to be very careful to follow Śrīla Prabhupda. Somehow, Shira Bholuba’s vision was so perfect that it strictly followed Bhakti, Saddam hussars, Taqwa’s instruction and vision. Exactly. That’s why these things are very subtle. And, of course, we can understand all these settled relationships. But it’s the fact that, as being in the family of Śrīpur, we have to strictly follow his line. We don’t visit this temple here because Phoebe said, crying when heard about this temple.

He said that, you know, Thakur is our previous acharya.

He’s exalted.

Why should they put him by the roadside like a doorkeeper? He said, they should have put him inside. These are all confidential things. I am only saying because they don’t know English. You. But you said, just pay your obesity from a distance. And we go by from here. We’re going to go to the place of Maria Gupta. Mara Gupta was Lord Caitanya’s doctor in Devī Verti. And I will tell you more about Maregupta.

When we get there.

But one day, my Gupta fed Lord Caitanya Mahabhar so much. Preshaya forced him to take more and more, and Lord Caitanya had a little transmitting digestion. So then he decided, I am going to go back to mare Gupta and get some medicine. And then Mari Gupta gave him just a little water from his pot, and by taking that water, he was cured. That was how expert a physician he was. So now we’re going to Maharay Gupta and from there we’re going to śrīvast angle with a Sakuraja movement started. So this is our program now. Śrīvani sir Swami has one message to.

Give us when we walked on the paddy. Come. I was going to these transcendental.

Either.

Going to these transcendental sites for a special, especially when we are ready to finally go back to see Māyāpur Chandra dera Mandhya. All the devotees should remember that the way we walk in procession is part of the dignity of Rla Prabhupāda’s movement. This is a very important point, especially at the end of the parikram when we’re all coming back. No matter how you feel externally.

You.

May be a little exhausted sometimes, but no matter how you are feeling, you must preserve the dignity of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s movement by walking very nicely in procession and by chanting very melodically. This is very important. This is part of our preaching in the damn to attract people to the foreign bhaktas of Śrī Chaitanya Mahabharata.

But our bodies have come from different places.

We’re back.

This is the garden palace. This is the location of the garden palace of Maria Vista with a very unassuming, devoted syria. It is always pleasant during the maktula. Thank you, Tom. Last night we saw the Vaikuṇṭha players in England demonstrate the pastimes of Chaitanya Mahāprabhu. Mauri Gupta was, as we heard, so devoted to Chaitanya Mahatma that he would do whatever he had. So in order to ask him to worship Lord Kṛṣṇa, even though he tried his best. Next day, Lord Chaitanya saw the magic very pale. He asked, what is the matter? He said, I am going to take my life. You have ordered me to think of Kṛṣṇa. Whenever I try to think of Kṛṣṇa, only thought that comes in my mind is Ravachandra.

But since I can carry out your order, please remind me, sit down here, because I can’t carry out your order, I take my life. At that time, he called Mariah grouped up and Abraham ascended to him. And he said, and you, Mary, grouped up, you are Hanuman. And devotees of the Lord have taken part in these pastimes of Sichu. Every devotee in the Sankitan movement of Chitanya Mahabharata, even today has God saw an eternal relationship and pass forward and service to perform the j ten yamaha root. And by purifying ourselves, we will be able to realize, by getting the mercy of this high goal, you will be able to realize by, in the mercy of their peer devotees always treating people as material illness.

He did not end there, but he also treated very spiritual disease by giving them the mercy of how they can be purified from all the material diseases by the spiritual disease a risk material a forgetfulness of Kṛṣṇa and the establishment pure devotion chaitanya Mahabharata I like to ask the Jebadrish Prabhu to call the illuminator.

So by the mercy of the Vaishnava’s presence, maybe I can speak something. The disease, the spiritual disease which afflicts everyone within this material world is the desire to be independent of Lord Kṛṣṇa. This is our original problem. Kṛṣṇa is the supreme independent lord and everyone else is meant to serve his different purposes. Whether Sansa or Vibhyansa, whether plenary portions of Kṛṣṇa or infinitesimal parts and parcels of Kṛṣṇa, everyone is meant to participate in Kṛṣṇa’s program for enjoyment. Not only his enjoyment, but everyone’s enjoyment. Ka’s program is that everyone must enjoy. The only qualification is that everyone must follow his plan for enjoyment. Otherwise, without following that plan, there’s only trouble. So somehow or other we have become separated from that plan of Christianity at least directly. At least our direct participation within that plan has been temporarily terminated.

Kṛṣṇa explains in the Bhagavad Gītā Manushakparka everyone is actually following Kṛṣṇa’s plan. Some are following directly, some are following indirectly.

(Side B of the Cassette)

Actually, there is no such thing as enjoying independence. Just as a leaf must be attached to the tree in order to receive the nourishment it requires. And if it becomes detached from the tree, then there’s no question of receiving any nourishment. So similarly, unless we are attached to Kṛṣṇa in service to him, there is no question of enjoyment for ourselves. So our enjoyment, our satisfaction, will come only by Ana voice service to him. That is the better. What will completely satisfy the self. That is our constitutional position. So that constitutional position is not something which we have to wait for. We can take it. Now. That constitutional position is available to us right now. Because that constitutional position is unavoidable service to Kṛṣṇa. Which can be performed at any time, in any place. That is the nature of our eternal.

That is our eternal nature. That at any time, any place we can engage in service to Kṛṣṇa. There are no limiting factors other than our own desire. So the problem, the disease, is that tendency to become independent, to work independently. To be separated from Kṛṣṇa. In order to take a little enjoyment for oneself. The charges this morning in his class very nicely pointed out that it is not possible to enjoy endazling. That is a tendency, that is our original disease. To try to enjoy independently. To try to separate ourselves a little bit from Kṛṣṇa. Little bit or a lot. Separate ourselves from Kṛṣṇa and enjoy. But that’s not our nature. Therefore, whenever we try it is like the leaf cutting off from the tree. There is no nectar, there’s no juice that can get to us as long as we take that approach.

So this independent disease has to be resolved. We have to give it up once and for all. So Kṛṣṇa is helping because he also wants us to return and live with him. In his eternal pastime in the spiritual world. He doesn’t like to see our independent struggle. Not because it affects him in any way. He’s enjoying like anything, that enjoyment is ever uninterrupted. However, he doesn’t like to see us separated from him. And therefore in a suffering condition. Therefore, he takes all. He makes all efforts to bring us to the point of taking shelter of him. That is the whole point in the creation of the material world. It is not that this material world is simply a prison house. It is a prison house for the renegades. But it is a reformatory, its sole purpose.

Every aspect is just meant for reforming the conditioned souls. The engineering, the idea of the engineering behind the engineering of this material world. Is just to drive the conditioned souls to frustration. In their attempt to independently enjoy. So that they will take shelter of Lord Kṛṣṇa in one of his many forms. Not only does he arrange the material world in such a way that the conditioned souls, the forgetful, foolish souls will take shelter of him, but he offers plenty of opportunity for taking shelter, becomes himself time and time again. He sends his pure devotees to represent him and give shelter. He manifests in the deity form in the revealed scriptures, and in so many ways he is giving opportunity to the conditioned souls to return to him.

So we have to see every aspect of the material world in connection with this plan of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Whatever you see, Kṛṣṇa told Lord Brahma is discharged in the 9th chapter of the second Kantha of Śrīmad Bhāgavata. Whatever you see, which doesn’t appear to be connected to mE, that is my illusory energy, Māyā, everything is actually connected to Kṛṣṇa. And if we know this secret of creation, if we know the secret of his compassion to bring us back home, back to Godhead, then we can see everything in that light. Whatever we experience is just for our progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Now, this is taking all this into consideration. We can understand that by the mercy of Lord Kṛṣṇa, we are getting very close to the destination.

Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu is the most magnanimous incarnation of Kṛṣṇa and he is teaching the highest secrets of love for Kṛṣṇa. And his appearance took place a mere 500 years ago. And since then there has been a continuous preaching movement carried on by his intimate devotees to bring everyone to his lotus feet. So we are all blessed by Lord Kṛṣṇa to be in this position after many births. Brahmāṇḍa Ramite Konda bhajyavanji, guru Kṛṣṇa, prasari bai bhattila tabi we have gone through so many millions and millions of births since time immemorial. We cannot trace out the beginning of our journey through this material world, through so many varieties of suffering to drive us to the lotus peace of Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu.

So now we have been driven to the point where we’re ready for his mercy and he has sent his pure devotees to give us that mercy. Now we have become frustrated with this material energy, at least to the extent where we’re willing to take shelter of Lord Caitanya’s pure devotees. And now all we need do is accept that mercy 100%. Once Śrīla Prabhupāda was asked or it was mentioned to Rupat that how we can. Śrīla Prabhupāda was speaking. He was explaining the difference between one devotee who was advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and another devotee who is not. I don’t remember whether he was answering a question or whether this was a lecture. But the point is that he said that it is not a matter of that the spiritual master favors one devotee over another. The spiritual master does not play favorites in that way.

Every disciple is very dear to the spiritual master. That the intimacy, the connection between the disciple and the spiritual Master is dependent on the disciples ability to receive that mercy, to receive that connection. So it is just up to us to understand this overall picture of the material world and Kṛṣṇa’s mercy upon the conditioned souls, his appearance, himself, and his sending his devotees to reclaim us, to drag us back to godhead. If we can gain this vision, then our success is guaranteed. As Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad Gītā, the one who sees me everywhere and who sees everything in me, I am never lost to him, nor is he ever lost to me. So we should get this vision of who we are, what our position is.

What is this material world, who Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu is, and his representative, pure devotee, who is giving us this opportunity? Practically, we don’t, can’t even understand how fortunate we are. We are the most fortunate jew, somehow or other, although we don’t deserve it. But somehow or other, now our good fortune is right in front of us. We simply have to take it. This is Śrī Taitanya Mahāprabhu’s plan. He is bestowing. He is distributing the fruits of love of Godhead freely. All we have to do is take it. There’s no other requirement. We don’t have to have any previous qualifications. Just if we have a desire to take this fruit from Shri Chaitanya Mahāprabhu and then distribute it, then we become qualified to receive at full mercy. And that is our constitutional position. We don’t have to look for anything beyond that.

That is our svadharma. That is our eternal position. We don’t have to worry what comes next. If we just take Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu’s mercy. That is the perfection. So that should be our aim and our meditation during this Māyāpur festival. We are very fortunate to be here, to be so close to Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu. Now just please take his mercy and distribute it. And that is the perfection of life.

Good luck. That direction. Those are standing in my way.

Sit down and move over.

You can see there several temples. The temple, the tallest temple straight ahead. That is the Samadhi temple. And to the left is three harvest house. The house is directed. The preaching movement to the chaitanya. Rather the Gauḍīya mission, Gauḍīya Matta mission.

At that time.

On the right, you see a small temple over to your right there, that small temple on the lower right is the Samani temple of Gorkishwar das Babaji Mahārāja. Left of that farthest right temple and right with a little gold top, that is the temple established by Bhakti, sadam, Prasari Tagore. So there he put on the four corners the four Vaishnava chalas, Nimbarka, Ramanuja, Madhya and Vishnu Swami. Because each of the four Vaishnava chayas met Caytanya Mahathabu here. Even they came before Lord Catania was on the planet. Remember, Lord Caytanya is here today. He was here always. For those who get special mercy, they.

Can see Lord Shaytan.

So those at chariots came and were able to get his holy darshan and receive instruction from him. And what Shaitanyas movement is then to combine all of the Vaishnav sampradayas into one for spreading pure devotional loving service to Kṛṣṇa all over the world. So this low area, which is so beautiful and green right in front of our eyes. Now, actually, this is a very sacred place. This is described in the purāṇas that when p two Maharaj, the avatar or incarnation of Godhead, was reveling the earth so that it would be productive. At that time, his revelers were working here in Aberdeen, but every time they’re dead, there were flames and sparks and so many. This dangerous science came up, so they couldn’t do anything.

So they reported that something is wrong with this particular place when we’re trying to excavate Saddam Prithu, Maharashtra he came on the scene and in meditation, he could understand this was the eternal Dham Abshi Mahatma Dweeb, where he came in the Kali Yugos in his original form as the incarnation of devotee as Chaitanya Mahatma Ro. And this is the eternal plastic place. So then he gave the order to dig here one vast lake, or Kunda. This is known as the p two Kunda. This is many. Many. You guys are goddesse.

Some 1100 years ago, when the sunni dynasty shifted their capital of Golda dash here to Malibu, the here that everyone remembers he ran on last year is this palace of Balar Shema, which he covered with dirt so he wouldn’t be noticed by the muhammadan invaders who were like the Huns, coming in and raping and killing and destroying everything. I mean, that’s another story, but got also they re excavated this preach to Krim. That’s why in Bengali Kunda is known as Dighi when it is very long indeed. So this place just to the right is known as Balaad Digi after Balajin. But the ancient name is Pitukunde. Should I tell you, David? So we are being blessed by the Abraham and the arrival of a great saint. There is peace. Thank you. To movement all over the southern hemisphere and South America, North America.

So since he has just walked over the P two Krinna, we would like to hear from him about the reservoir of Nectar that is existing in the Kansas movement. Just like this reservoir. I. Please come.

I got this reservoir. Pure love for God.

Please sit down.

Has requested everyone to not be tired. So all of us are feeling very blissful. It was all of our desire that we come yearly at least to Siddha, Māyāpur and also Vrindavan where we can more fully appreciate Lord Caitanya’s movement. I don’t know the particular significance of that place.

This is our temple of Maria Gupta.

Who was the physician of what he.

Tell and was actually helaman in his previous viewer.

So all of us are feeling very enthusiastic to see so many devotees from all over the world. This is how to you know, Takur’s desire. Actually, this is a proof that Kṛṣṇa consciousness is meant for every living entity, neither man or woman or child, young or old, from any part of the world. Everyone is originally Kantha. So in this particular region, Gora Mandala, this particular area where Chaitanya Mahathir came down, there’s special potency. And this is actually Lord Chaitanya a new place. So while we’re here, we can realize very easily how the supreme personality of God has come down and distributes Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is Lord Kṛṣṇa’s promise in Bhagavad Gītā. Whenever there’s a discrepancy in the actual process of religion, just like nowadays, there are many big religions, so called religions, but actually they are full of discrepancies.

They kill animals and they have an impersonal conception of God. They do not know what the soul is. Sometimes they think I am this body. In this way, there are so many discrepancies in your teaching and so many discrepancies in their procedure. There is no clear authorized understanding of religious principles anywhere in the world. So Kṛṣṇa says. And a predominant rise in religion. People have become artificially very bold people. People have become artificially confident in executing sinful activities, illicit sex, intoxication, animal killing, gambling. This is all adharma he religion. So this adharma for this religion, Avi Uthanam has become very prominent. It’s very aggressively being propagated all over the world. So at that time, Lord Kṛṣṇa says, at that time I come down and Parisanaya Sadhguru Nam, those who are actually innocent or honest, those who are obstinate demons, I kill them.

And Dharma Sham Stapanazaya and the real religious principles are established. So it was very significant. And 500 years ago, of course, each particular area or each particular holy place in this area has a specific significance which is known only to a tariq. But the general idea is that in this Bodha Mandalu homage, in this area of pastime, Lord Caitanya came down to rectify the world situation. So by coming here we get rejuvenated. We get special enthusiasm for taking part in safety movement. So all of us should not only appreciate this very beautiful places and the association of devotees, but we should be very enlivened to distribute this all over the world. This is actual self civilization. Self civilization means to see spirit soul in every body. This is self evil, even your own body. You should understand that. Spirit soul eternal.

So on the platform of self realization, there is no other business except to distribute this knowledge because people are suffering. Just like if there was suddenly a fire here, then our only business would be to warn people, to help people to get away from the fire. All other activities would be canceled or suspended. Similarly, as soon as you understand that everyone is actually spared soul but they are trapped in the blazing fire of material existence, then at that time one desires to cancel or suspend all other activities such as sense gratification and personal comfort as the only business is to save the people from his blazing fire. So if one is dedicating all of his energy to distributing this level godhead which can extinguish the fire of the tailored distance, then he’s acting on the platform of self civilization.

This is the practical platform of self civilization that I am trying to distribute. Kṛṣṇa consciousness. I don’t want to prolong that some people are standing in the sun, but we should try to get a practical inspiration. Otherwise there will be some tinge of mundane tinge. We should enjoy these beautiful places and inspiring knowledge connected with these holy places and then try to give up all personal consideration and distribute. This is a real understanding of the Taiwan.

So now everybody also is coming. We will proceed now. We’re going to cut today’s program short. After Seabast Unn, we will be heading to.

The Ganges and back to the temple. Now we’re going to proceed to the original place where Lord Caitanya Mahabrabustan kīrtana movement began. At the house of Śrīvast.
