The following is a lecture on Evening Address given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja on March 29, 1992 – in Trichy, India.

Sa. In this world there’s so much violence going on in the name of humanity, in the name of well being of the human beings, they’re slaughtering so many animals. The slaughter of animals is not freely condoned in either Vedic religion or the Buddhist religion. It’s very highly restrictive. But in Western religions they came up with a philosophy that animals have known. So therefore there’s no sin if you kill animal. It’s like animal that doesn’t exist. No soul sin. Of course they have. Societies are cruel to animals. They shouldn’t be ruled animals and they kill themselves. There’s a society like that. But even as society members, many of them are not vegetarian. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness is understood and practiced by the people in the ways of worlds more completely. But naturally violence to animals and violence to others would decrease. Indirectly.

We’re achieving the same aim as the cruelty animal society. But we’re doing it by giving knowledge that the living entities have a soul. And then you forcibly end their presence of their soul and the body which is known as killing them. Then you have to take the karma. The Bible actually says thou shalt not kill. When Bab was challenged while you are killing so many animals, they were killed. That’s not killing because they have no soul. You say a murder at human being kill animal. Thou shalt not kill means that you don’t kill animals. But they’re not accepted. So Rabbi was pointing out in the name of Dharma these things shouldn’t go on. Stop. The body tolerates inconvenience for itself. Doesn’t want to tolerate any inconvenience. From. The second point is to follow the footsteps of the great Acharya that is explained here.

Aisha Lopa Bhav said trying to advance in spiritual life outside of the simplic succession is simply ludicrous. It is said therefore Achai Divan. 61421000 And the simplest expression of Acharyas know things as they are. In order to understand the transcendental science, one must approach the bona fide spiritual master. The word Shmitya is very important in spiritual life. Smithya means remembering Kṛṣṇa always life should be altered. Each of these are different points in the original verse. First was to be mad violent. Second was we had to follow in the footsteps of great Acharya. So Śrīla Prabhupāda he gave several quotations. Two quotations here.

How we had to follow for the simplest success from Chandakya and Mundaka Upanishad he explained that we must approach mortified spiritual Nas then the next point in the original verse was Must always remember the nectar of the past times of the supreme personality of God. And this regard problems in the word Smithya is very important in spiritual life. Shmitka means remembering Kṛṣṇa always. Life should be molded in such a way that one cannot remain alone without thinking of Kṛṣṇa. We should limit Kṛṣṇa or subject. While eating, sleeping, walking and working. We remain only in Kṛṣṇa. Our Kṛṣṇa conscript society recommendations. So we arrange our living so that we can remember Kṛṣṇa in our Iskan society of devotees. While engaged in making spiritual sky insects are also hearing about the glories of Kṛṣṇa or his devotees.

The Shastra recommends Martav Drishnu Lord dissolution remembered always constantly. Forgotten. That is the way of spiritual life. The remembrance of the Lord can be continued as we hear about him constantly. It is therefore recommended in this verse. Means vector Sidhu. Sidhu Sidhu means nectar. Here about Kṛṣṇa from Sivat Bhagavad Gītā or similar authentic literature to live in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Such concentration in Kṛṣṇa consciousness can be achieved by persons who are strictly following the rules and regulated principles. We have recommended our Kṛṣṇa conscious movement and a devotee chant 16 rounds on leaves daily and follow the regulated principles that will help avoid his first advance and light. So the two points you give one is several points. One is Smithya remembering the other is fletching. Others saw it regular principle. We need to remember the lawyer Always remember his past life. Vishnu always remember Vishnu.

So many times we forget Vishnu. We remember so many other things. Going to this temple, sharing the holy name, meeting the Shastra. All these are practical means whereby we can remember Kṛṣṇa. When we fully remember Kṛṣṇa, we see so many problems disappear. Problems in life are because we’re not able to focus on Kṛṣṇa. Wanting remember the Lord. Then we can preach his glory but also shame the others. There is another way of being non violent. Saving people from suffering is non violent. Allowing them to suffer is a form of violence. It is also stated this verse Prabhupāda continues that by controlling the senses one can become a Swami or Goswami. One does therefore enjoying this super title. Swami or Go Swami must be very strict in controlling his senses. Indeed he must be master of his senses.

This is possible when one does not desire any material sense orification. If by chance the senses want to work independently, you must control it. The we simply practice avoiding material sense gratification. Controlling the sense is automatically received. So here we explain. By following regular principles without material desires. By strictly following the rules and Regulations. It’s not possible to advance person to follow without following. Many times you fix the people in the West. Now the New Age movement is there. People want to advance spiritually, but they don’t want to follow very many rules and regulations. You met one German devotee hour coming by saying my. And he was telling us how he was attracted by different waves velocities. He felt that it was too difficult to attract Mishnah. So he was looking for something easier. This is a nature.

They’re looking for a strategic way out. We have to see what will work. All the authorities say that in order to achieve spiritual advancement we have to destroy. Lord Jesus, most merciful. He delivered fallen souls without any discrimination. Once they took initiation. He expected that the fallen race to see their vows. Sometimes we find additional consciousness debates. People who have naked appreciation followers. They don’t follow them extremely. This is a very big problem. The big obstacle in their path, The avoidance the senses are controlled. The next thing that was mentioned in the verse the chat Abdi Ali Daya. Not to criticize others. Papa mentions another important point. Make sure this connection is that we should not criticize others methods of religion. There are different types of religious systems operating under different qualities of material nature. Those operating the mode of.
