That time the three deities approached the hermitage of Atri Muni, accompanied by the denizens of the heavenly planets, such as the celestial beauties, the Gandharvas, the Sidhas, the Vidya dharas, and the Nagas. Thus they entered the ashram of the great sage, who had become famous by his austerities.

Muhamuni Tara Joshua Purport by Śrīla Prabhupāda it is advised in the vedic literatures that one should take shelter of the supreme personality of Godhead, who is the lord of the universe and the master of creation, maintenance, and dissolution. He is known as the super soul, and when one worships the super soul, all other deities, such as Brahma and Shiva, appear with Lord Vishnu because they are directed by the super soul.

The sage offered them his respects by falling down like a stick.

And this sort offering of respect is called dandavat. Atrivishi offered his respect to the three deities. In that way they were identified by their different carriers and different symbolic representations. In that connection, it is stated here, the lord Vishnu was sitting on Garuḍa, a big achilles bird, and was carrying his hand. In his hand a death. Brahma was sitting on a swan and had in his hand two sagas. Lord Shiva was sitting on a bowl and carrying in his hand a small drum called a dhammaru.

So because of Atri Muni’s austerity, he was able to see Lord Vishnu accompanied by Brahma and Shiv, with all the different darshan ala voyla.

You see, this proves that if you see du, you know everything. When you have the darshan of Vishnu, you automatically also achieve the position of the demigods at least, and you can see them if you want.

So we shouldn’t try any extraneous effort.

To achieve material success, even to the point of seeing great demigods, everything is achieved simply by the mercy of Vishnu. You see, there’s no doubt about that. In fact, when the great sage, the great Pandit Keshav Kashmiri came to Nawaddeep, you see, he was worshipping mother Saraswati very strictly. Jagan Akjant Mohan Pomdi Tarnan Keshav Kashmiri. So he was so famous that everywhere he went, he would defeat all of the great scholars and pundits. He was in fact known as Digby Jay because wherever he went, he would defeat all the other pirates with his erudite scholarship. So when he came to Nabodeb, all of the Brahmanas were very afraid.

They were afraid that they would be defeated and then they would lose the.

Great honor of having Nabudeep as the topmost place of learning. J. Prādhān Stan Pondetois so they were trying to think what to do.

So someone said, let’s send him.

Because if he goes there and is defeated.

When he’s so young, it will give us another chance. We can always say he’s just a kidde because he’s only about twelve years old. And the other reason is that actually.

He’S such a great scholar that if he’s able to defeat Keshe Kashmiri, then how much more we will be glorified. Chile say after subtitle so they requested Nimāi Pandit to go and meet this keshe of Kashmiri.

Keshe Kashmiri already came to Naradvi outskirts.

And he was doing his pūjā to mother Saraswati there.

Keshav Kashmiri as Chen Sahara take Sima.

Kache the lord Caitanya went to take.

A bath in the ganges by that place.

And by the mercy of Providence, he was able to make Keshe of Tashmiri. Of course, it was his own arrangement as his independent, all knowing personality.

So you know the story how he.

They had this discussion where Lord Caitanya.

Asked him to quote some śloka to make some poetry glorifying the grantees, saying.

That you are a great scholar, I want to hear from you in a humble way. He approached the Chai apni Doyakore Gangarouse.

Axel slope so Keshav Kashmiri just like a machine gun, just like a hurricane.

He started making up verses dwarfing the.

Ganges and he made up hundred verses just like that.

He was so learned to. So.

Normally, you know, to take negrophote is very difficult.

Just write a vyas pūjā one time.

It takes some time.

No, he was so learned.

He just ripping off the verses one after the other.

So then Lord Shaitan asked him.

Could you tell me what is the.

Error and what are the good points in your verses? It’s very nice. But where are the mistakes?

And where are the good points? Now the. What do you mean?

Where are the mistakes?

He’s thinking, I didn’t make any mistakes. So many good points are there. Then Chaitan Nadev, he just picked out one of the slokes by memory.

What about this sloke?

He picked it out, repeated it. Keshav Kashmiri was astonished how I said those hundred sloths. And he could so quickly memorize and repeat each slope. So then Keshav Kashmiri, he said, no, there’s no. There’s no mistake of that śloka.

And.

Then Lord Jai chan, he said, no. And he explained, these are the defects.

So many defects are there.

He explained different defects in Sanskrit grammar.

Then he also explained what are the good points.

He was defeated in this way. He went back to his ashram thinking what he will do. He was thinking that I must have committed some offense to mother Saraswati. Why she allowed my consciousness to be covered like this. Why I was so proud that I couldn’t recognize my own mistake. Why did mother Saraswati take away her mercy from me?

Cannot say.

Saraswati ma oy kibata amakashi. In this way he was praying to mother Saraswati. Please tell me why this has happened.

You have never.

I have never been let down by you before.

This has happened.

So that night in his dream mother.

Saraswati appeared to him.

And told him that this Nimalaya ponder is no ordinary person. You fool. You go and surrender to him. It is Kṛṣṇa himself. He has come here in a human society just to give out pure love of himself. You go to him and take his mercy. He is my husband. Then Keshe Kashmiri could understand. Of course. That is why my intelligence was covered. It’s actually Kṛṣṇa. So then he went and he ran to where Lord Caitanya was and surrendered to him. So he requested you. Please give me your mercy.

Mother Sara Satir revealed to me who you are.

I want to see your spiritual form. Then with Chaitanya he revealed his spiritual form to some spiritual forms to Keshav Kashmiri. In this way telling not to tell anybody at that time. And this way bless Keshav Kashmiri. Babe Prakash Kurichan Abolishkeh. So in this way you can see our mother Saraswati. And like this there are so many other demigods, how they all are surrendered to the lotus feet of Chetanya. So it’s not that you don’t have to do any independent activity to get the mercy of the demigods you please. Kṛṣṇa, Chaitanya, Maharu. All the demigods you please. It is devotion. How to please the most dear devotee is that devotee who is preaching this message to others. It’s one of the. It’s the way of following in the footsteps of the great devotees, the Brjavasis who associated with Kṛṣṇa.

Ato chu story Bhojone Lord Jaitanya said that there was no one who had as high a system of worshipping Kṛṣṇa as the residents of Vrindavan. It’s not even the slightest scent of any material contamination in the pure preaching and performance of the Sankirtan. Yadgyay Mahakama Gandhi nai Sankirtan Yadgyamadde. Those who give up Sankirtan, who give up preaching and go to some solitary place or go away from the mainstream of devotees, they are actually filled with false pride and false material desires. But those who are preaching, let’s surrender. They’re taking so many difficulties in stride simply for the service of the lord. So that’s the very simple understanding why we should continue performing this Sankirtan yajn. Because it satisfies the previous Acharyas and Lord Chetanya Mahāprabhu and his associates Egwara Jaisikistan. Hare hareball. Any question? My dad washing are making different 1000 name of lord.

So just affected by the name Chaitanya. We paid in Bengali. Also jala Jamaica advises us that you can chant the name of Kṛṣṇa for culpas of birth and still not get love for Kṛṣṇa when you’re performing nama parad or the offense to the holy name. Second aged Inama Pradhway Kotikalpe Kṛṣṇa prayer J. Akhazar Vishnu nam kīrtana Kurti Ramnan Shama the Kṛṣṇa Nam Kotikal prama Kṛṣṇa frame na bajaide the tai tati kotikoti kalpe ram rain jab kule kitnan kuri Second Namapurajri taki second egg Mr. Havana paradasihotabarena. You only hear about the offenseless chanting of the holy name from the bona fide spiritual masters coming in the disciplic successions authorized by the Vedas. The Ved Padma Purāṇa describes that there are four bona fide samprodayas, Śrī Rudra Brahma and Kumar Padhopura Shlokache Śrī Ruddu Brahmai, Brahma Kumāra, Brahma Goriya, Sampradayaachi.

But these other so called gurus referring to. They don’t fall within any bona fide guru paramparā. They are just self created gurus. So this way, do whatever you want, eat whatever you want. Chant my name and give me your money and your worship. And that’s all it takes. This way you can find many. But this is not the authorized way. So by chanting the holy name of God Chaitanya, one can get rid of so many offenses to the holy name. Therefore, we chant in names.
