The following is a lecture given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja on May 12, 1982 – in Śrī Māyāpur, India. The lecture begins with a reading from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.1.25.

Nirvi pasha, jayasiki, Gandha prabhor jaya. I am Namagawa namdehdeh Ramadevas. Today rayamaskityanaya degree yeti bhat I bought. Atri Muni was greatly pleased to see that the three devas were gracious towards him. His eyes were dazzled by the effulgence of their bodies, and therefore he closed his eyes for the time being. Jahan Gustav, Jindevo, Brahma, Vishnu, Mohe sarpati, doya kari tar joke tar sahar deho joti dara joti, gala, manit, Josie Galo, Abnavand report. Since the deities were smiling, he could understand that they were pleased with him. Their glaring bodily effulgence was intolerable to his eyes, so he closed them for the time being. Hintu tahar dibbo sarire joti ato ashwacho taraposi tai choke jano java toto tara choke.

This is the end of the purport to 25 text chapter one canto four of the steam of Bhāgavatam in the matter of the genealogical table of the doctors of Mana Ikene Atri Muni tini tapune pojoni jonayana tapore tapas kibuli pranayam kuray takala say salai chini ekosa boy saranutana prabhat jhang ya eva jagati swara prajam ātmā samad manyan prayachat sweeti chintayamdev the lord atri muni, he had been doing great austerities, and he said this verse. He was thinking this particular verse, after doing 100 years of extreme austerity, standing one leg and only doing panaya. This is the prayer he was thinking, may the lord of the universe, of whom I have taken shelter, kindly be pleased to offer me Isan exactly like him. Jagat Ishar, Jagat Ishado jar pati aminishantohe dharmato acti santan dadan so jagot Ishtar Ashevajoba.

He wanted the Jagot Ishwar, or lord of the universe, or controller in the universe, to bless him. So kei Jagadisa, now he is in little trouble. All three, Vishnu, Brahma and Shiv, all three came because he said Jagat Ishwar. He didnt say particular. So all three came again. Brahmatra Jagadisha Shivota Jagat Ishar Abhishnu Jagat Isha aksel thomas raja again sapto isha asan so save away. So even though he’s confused who is the jagadisha. The secret has already been revealed in the previous verse when it describes that the jaga Ishwar is Vishnu and he brings with him Brahman Sheepishu Vishnu. So because the other two were mourned by Vishnu in the heart, they also came along.

And so the three were there at the same time in the ashram of Afti Muni with such glaring impulsions that he could harvest Dhandabat Wakanda Kutti it’s a bakker Quran. He was paying his obeisances. Dhandabat just like a stick. Sometimes looking at them, sometimes the glare was too much, he was closing his eyes, he was overwhelmed. And so ultimately he asked him that you are so kind that you have were one before the creation of the world. Now you divided yourself into three. He could understand that all eight three have come but they all existed as one before the creation. So one of the three must be the original one. He wanted to know which was the very first to come, which was the first, who is original and eternal. So but it’s very interesting to note how Atri Muni achieved his perfection.

Uttri Muni Kiwave a he wanted to achieve the shelter of the supreme personality of Ghana. So he performed austerities and meditation. This was his sister. But this type of austerity that he did is very difficult. He was standing one leg meditating for hundred years. Very difficult. The type of austerity he was doing in the previous age it was possible but also very difficult. So Lord Chaitanya has given us a very simple process. The same process was given by Kṛṣṇa and Bhagavad Gītā. Bhakti Yoga Bhagavad Gītā Bhagavān Keshi Kadhile J Amade Protein Essay Amarato bandan hoy purechi karno bandana ibam seki Mukti power vishesh koyaki rastach tarmade Yoghu Kashtupur or Bhakti hoche Kupsoh. So bhati yoga is not so difficult because it is natural. It is a natural activity of the soul in relationship with Kṛṣṇa.

Bhakti yoga mohan kai bhakto Amra Bhagavad naturally, when we are the servant of Kṛṣṇa it’s very easy to serve Kṛṣṇa. It’s very unnatural to try to independently raise ourselves by yogic system. Yoga Banana dara Pranayama Eva Vivindo Asan Idara Asta Seymour Joy Parahoy Ibad at Prani Modde Asta to lift the spirit soul by yogic meditation by Pranayama breathing exercises through the airs of the body is a very difficult process. But it’s very natural and easy for us to engage our thoughts, words and beings in the service of Kṛṣṇa. It’s not difficult at all. It’s natural. Tamari Jaidawadesh Bhagavani and Gunagan Bhagavad it’s a natural process to serve Kṛṣṇa. Even a child can do it. So Amra Bhagavane kache jetpare tinta bino story, tinder bino bhave we can go to Kṛṣṇa in three different ways. Some people are born perfect. They are called nithya siddhok.

Some become perfect by practice. They are called Sadhana, Sadhan Sidha or Sadhana Siddhi the tara, sadhana kore, siddhohole kati and those who got some special mercy by Guru Vaishnav Kṛṣṇa they are known as. So naturally, if we are born perfect, there is nothing else to do. We are already nipti siddho. So there’s no question how to become nifty siddho. One is finished. This is something we can try for. We should gradually engage our mind, words, deeds in the service of Kṛṣṇa through the process known as sadhana bhakti. Love for them. We practice to become prepared. What are the main things we should avoid? Mainly we should avoid intoxication, meeting, gambling and illicit sex. These are the worst things for our spiritual development aboard Nesha, Amishah, Ibram, Juan. As much as we can reduce these things that will help us.

Parajai igloo, campoy, amanda, just like you want to drive a car, you need both road and fuel to tell darkai from Rastado. Rastajani Rastaji say agbaray. Without a road you can drive your car over the mountainous, the savaby, shala Tigelli Rasta onachai Jacob Rasta Asta rakami borough got to borrow. But just following those rules is not enough. You also need oil in your car. The fuel, the petrol is chanting. As we share this, we can make our progress. So oh no jokes. Amisha kintu taza j tail light ordinarily yoga other processes are very slow acting. But Bhakti yoga is very fast. The way that we can progress very quickly is by engaging all of our senses in the service of Kṛṣṇa. This is an active form of meditation. Durakam ganache active. Vose sabkichu bhanakare jnanaye.

Just like Arjuna was a warrior in the battlefield he would fight for Kṛṣṇa. And that is accepted as Samadhi and Bhakti yoga jama Kṛṣṇa kinya desdemona sai alzina jagan juja, samadhi yoga kintu dukote tato pancha holo astro Dutch kotolo jedi ashanti mohay abu dhagar, jati Mohammed jaitu Kṛṣṇade. So in the same way, we also, if we simply engage in Kṛṣṇa service according to his instruction, as we receive it through the guru paramara, then we are assured success in his life by active meditation to say laham amra Sikṛṣṇa tivani gītā tiki bharatsu tai chai sheikh, guru param, parashika dara shulyash, say anujai jara bhagawan nijukto ho tari sikh. The prabhupda told us that he is not depending, however, on his practice or sadhana to achieve Kṛṣṇa as an example.

He told us, of course, we know he was a nithya siddha, but he told us, I am simply depending on the mercy of my guru. Yeah, people said bullet, but Naruto, bulletin, what is the babanahito mosam? I am the most fallen, you are the most merciful, therefore I deserve your mercy more. Abnisatigue amar chi poti kyonai sheikh uddharka. So we should actually be praying and hoping for that special mercy. But we have to continue to serve in kathna in the practice of devotion without fear. Kintu amara, say chilustai modde taka tikmatun poi bharajano, jadi amara seikri, papai tahali amara tatpur, amara igi gabo kṛṣṇa si choran. So here at the muni, he asked for the supreme personality of Ghana. This is who he wanted. But he still, he thought the word Jagat Ishwar. He was therefore very confused with all three things.

Akon konjalachin, Quran, Hindujagari, Chakan dajben, kasbe tarahan. Today, when the Hindus, they put so many pictures in their pūjā room that when they call for God, they all may come or none may come. By thinking that all of them think, well, he’s talking about me and all, they may all think, well, he’s talking about the other one. And in the end, no one comes. Vishnu sabito. Add sabito. Vishnu avatar. Vishnu. Accelerator Prakash. Reality. So we should follow the example of great souls who have fixed their minds simply on Kṛṣṇa. To avoid the difficulties of Atrium Muni, we can chant hare Kṛṣṇa, just like what Chaitani has advised and then we will achieve what Adri Muni has achieved and more in a very short time with hardly any difficulty.

When Guru Maharaj went to the forest he was chanting his mantra and he was doing austerity at the same time and said that in order to protect the mantra therefore we need to do some austerity in order to turn the mantra properly. So the tendency either is to do none or to do too much. So how does one regulate?

Are you following the instructions in the guru? Any questions? Abd 1000 what helps samadhi is the yogī meditation on the paramount. After they reach paramātmā then they can go from there up to devotional service. Once they achieve paramātmā, the next stage is to render devotion to them. Jogiya, you can call him bhavtoto seva modde Bhagavān Anubhav Chirustai Korea jogi des hamadi takirikam jogi des hamadi Hoche Paramātmā darshan Prapto Hidoi Modde Paramātmā Jakwan Darshan Pravtohon Takwan Taribarti Store Hoche Paramatmiya kache bhakti Kora Takwan Yogira Bhakti Story as Parikh Muktiya pure bhakti Hoche Muktosthor mang chaoge Chigunatid Brahma devotional service is above the three modes of material nature. It’s in a spiritual platform. So when the yogī is liberated then he can come up to bhakti or you can immediately perform bhakti and become liberated, become absorbed in samadhi either way.

So why not take the direct route? Sarje Mostie bomb Hagawane Chirostai Sangho lab for others. Yes. How can they be engaged in the host of jade? Monta Māyā kamdez bimohito tada jekono prakar yoga palan korte koshtah it will be difficult for them to perform any type of yoga. Kintu manushe janmo janma kostokora janma bhagawan ki paa jandenneh koshtak kore bhagavanki pajama. Human life is meant for accepting some difficulty to achieve Kṛṣṇa. So amongst the two, bhakti yoga gives you an alternative happiness which is so great that by the mercy of nitāi gor, if you taste that ecstasy immediately, your material agītātion will cease. Chitara tahara amun babe anando dan koren botojiva prati kache j agbar ashadan kohli say the banando takwan māyā dekita atutuku lalosa lola. Just like you take the poison out of a snake. If it bites you won’t die.

No one is afraid of them. I keep rashna new people māyā among yog Māyā. What is the difference? Mahamaya is the illusion in the material world which brings us, makes us forget Kṛṣṇa and keeps us in forgetfulness of Kṛṣṇa. Mahamaya Hoche J Bhagavān shakti Tara daitochi Amade diposto tiki namidawa bhagavane bulida ibam jati Abbad bhagawan kimoni nasi sebabi vibrancy. Yoga Māyā is the personal internal energy of Kṛṣṇa to give shelter to the devotees. Yoga Māyā, Kṛṣṇa antarange and to give also the devotee the understanding of serving Kṛṣṇa in a particular relationship. Bhagawan Keshesh acti akti samando ba rasamode Sevapur bhar buddhi da. It’s like if a devotee wants to serve Kṛṣṇa as a mother or father. Yoga Māyā will give that devotee a parental mentality to do that. Jericho bhakto Bhagawan savakota chanma bhava.
