The following is a lecture given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja on October 9, 1999 – in Mathurādeśa. The lecture begins with a reading from the Bhagavad-gītā 15.20.

Sastram itigu yatamam sastramuktang mayanaga etad buddha buddhiman. Translation this is the most confidential part of the Vedic literature Scriptures O Sinless One, and it is disclosed now by Me. Whoever understands this  will become wise and his endeavors  will know perfection. Purport by Śrīla Prabhupāda. The Lord clearly explains here that this is the substance of all revealed scriptures and one should understand that this asset is given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus one  will become intelligent and perfect in transcendental knowledge. In other words, by understanding this philosophy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and engaging in his transcendental service, everyone can become freed from all contamination of the modes of material nature. Devotional service is a process of spiritual understanding. Wherever devotional service exists, the material contamination cannot coexist.

Devotional service to the Lord and the Lord Himself are one and the same because they are spiritual. Devotional service takes place within the internal energy of the Supreme Lord. The Lord is said to be the sun and ignorance is called darkness. Where the sun is present, there is no question of darkness. Therefore, whenever devotional service is present under the proper guidance of a bona fide spiritual master, there is no question of ignorance. Everyone must take to this consciousness of Kṛṣṇa and engage in devotional service to become intelligent and purified. Unless one comes to this position of understanding Kṛṣṇa and engages in devotional service, however intelligent he may be in the estimation of some common man, he is not perfectly intelligent. The word Anagha by which Arjuna is addressed is significant.

Anagha, O Sinless One means that unless one is freed from all sinful reactions, it is very difficult to understand Kṛṣṇa. One has to become free from all contamination, all sinful activities, then he can understand. But devotional service is so pure and potent that once one is engaged in devotional service, he automatically comes to the stage of sinlessness. While one is performing devotional service in the association of pure devotees in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness there are certain things which require to be vanquished altogether. The most important thing one has to surmount is weakness of the heart. So what is the most important thing we had to overcome? Weakness of the heart. Thus one gives up the transcendental loving service of the first fall down is called by the desire to Lord it over material nature.

Thus one gives up the transcendental loving service of the Supreme Lord. The second weakness of the heart is that one increases the propensity to Lord it over the material nature. He becomes attached to matter and the possession of matter. The Problems of material existence are due to these weaknesses of the heart. In this chapter, the first five verses describe the process of freeing oneself from these weaknesses of the heart. And the rest of the chapter from the sixth verse to the end discusses Purushottama Yoga. Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports to the 15th chapter of the RMA Advad Gītā in the matter of Purushottama Yoga, the Yoga of the Supreme Person. So one hand we associate with the pure devotees. This gives us strength. But some were asking today, what about people who associate? But somehow they are still not making progress visibly.

So do you think it’s from this weakness of the heart that was mentioned here? What are the two weaknesses of the heart? First is the desire to lord it over the material nature. I am the Lord of all. I see. I am the Lord of all that be. I want to lord it over the material nature. Or maybe not over everything, but at least over some part. Let me be chief minister. I can lord it over one state india. Or let me be an mp. Then I can lord it over my constituency or the mla. Or at least let me be a municipal counselor. Or maybe I can be lord over my company or nothing else. Let me lord it over my wife. Something I have to lord it over, right? To lord it over the material nature.

Then this gets us more and more entangled. What is the alternative to lording it over the material nature? Is there any alternative? Do we have to simply surrender to lording it over the material nature? Or is there something else we could do with our life? What do you think? Use material things in Ka’s service. That’s not lording it over. No, you’re right. Just like the great king Amburish. He was emperor of the world. But he saw his entire kingdom is the property of Kṛṣṇa. You like devotional service. What you like best? Are you shy? So. By using our. Senses in the service of Kṛṣṇa, using the material nature and the service of Kṛṣṇa, then we are freed from this danger. But if people want to more and more control the material nature they get tangled up in the complexities of the material nature.

In Bengali there’s a saying. Kṛṣṇa Bahir Mukha hoye bhogavan Shakhori. Do you understand that? Do you like devotional service? When we. By here muk. By here muk means materialistic. When somebody becomes materialistic and they’re desiring to enjoy the material world, They want to lord it over. Bhoga means to have the enjoyment. So when they want to enjoy the material world. Then Māyā comes. Japartiya means jumping on you or grabbing you like a kabaddi killer. Any of you ever played kabadi? So you have to tackle the person and hold him down. Is that the system? So Māyā does that to you. She grabs you and throws you down and doesn’t let go. So this is the danger. If we don’t look to the material nature for enjoyment.

If we see that we look to our spiritual nature for enjoyment and the material nature we look to for using in Kṛṣṇa’s service. Then it said it is like breaking the poison fangs of the cobra. Breaking off. If the cobra has no fang, then is it dangerous? No teeth? He said when Prahlad was being attacked by the dangerous cobras, Padma Purāṇa said that cobra went to bite Prahlad with poisoned fangs. But as soon as the teeth touched Prahlad, they fell off. No more teeth. Then he got frightened and he crawled off. What cobra  will do without teeth? So it says material nature is very dangerous like a poisonous snake. But if you use the material nature in Kṛṣṇa’s service, then you are breaking that poison teeth. Then I cannot bite you. So and the second weakness? First one wants to enjoy over the maternity.

The second one, when you’re loading it over, what happens then you get attached. And as you get attached to the matter and possession of matter, Then all the problems of the material existence increase. So Māyā has two jobs. One is to pull you down and when you are down, to keep you down. And normally like when we say the sports and things you find in fighting there are certain rules like don’t hit the opponent when they are down. Don’t kick them. Except for karate, few sports. But Māyā does not have this type of rules. Her rules are different. Kick you when you’re down, don’t let you get up no matter what. So then what is the hope? How we can overcome Māyā when she is so strong? What is the secret? Why? Why  will the chanting help us? Why  will surrender to Kṛṣṇa Help?

Why  will Māyā run away? Did Kṛṣṇa say anywhere that he would deliver someone from Māyā by taking shelter of him? Where is that? What was that verse again, Mama? Mayadurattaya. This divine energy of mind consisting of the three modes of material nature is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto me can easily cross beyond it. The words Mam Eva are also significant. Maam means unto Kṛṣṇa and Vishnu only and not Brahma or Śiva. Although Brahma and Śiva are greatly elevated and almost on the level of Vishnu, it is not possible for such Incarnations of Rajvuna and Tamo Guna to release the conditioned soul from the clutches of Māyā. In other words, both Brahma and Śiva also under the influence of Māyā. Only Vishnu is the master of Māyā. Therefore he alone can give release to the conditioned soul.

The Vedas Sweta Sattara, Upanishad 3, 8 confirms this. In the phrase Tam Eva vidhitva, or freedom is possible only by understanding Kṛṣṇa. Even Lord Shiva affirms that liberation can be achieved only by the mercy of Vishnu. Lord Shiva says Mukti, Pradata Saravesham Vishnu, Eva nasam soya. There is no doubt that Vishnu is the deliverer of liberation for everyone. So if we do surrender to Kṛṣṇa, then he promises that we can easily cross over the Māyā. Now, when somebody is controlling their senses, they are called Goswami. But when one is controlled by the senses, they are called Godasa. Did I tell about that movie Matrix? When I was. I was flying in the airplane and they had a movie called Matrix, which is about how. So I saw, because people told me that also Bhakti Tirtha Maharaj had his disciples see it.

And we are always seeing how everything is under the Māyā. So this movie was showing how everybody was actually under some kind of virtual reality of a computer. And they didn’t know that they were simply in this illusion, that they had another existence, completely independent. This computer was just making everyone believe that this was what they were experiencing was a reality, but it was actually only illusion. But a group of people realized this and broke free from the computer. But in order to free other people, they had to go inside that matrix, the illusion. And in the illusion then there was. Agents of this computer that would track them down and try to catch them and so many other things. So anybody could become an agent of the computer.

What was interesting, how one of these people who had broken loose, he said he turned on the others and he surrendered back to the computer, Māyā. He said, it’s too hard. It’s easier to be an illusion because they were eating in the illusion. You’re thinking you’re eating all good food things. Actually, it’s all illusion. But you think you’re eating good food things, but outside of the illusion, you are eating very ordinary things, but it’s real. So he wanted, he said, better to be in the illusion. So he surrendered back to the illusion and he killed some of his colleagues. So it was kind of interesting, you could draw so many Kṛṣṇa conscious parallels. How someone falling back into Māyā, wanting to lord it over, deciding that I am going I am leaving this only thing missing. There was no God.

There was only the Māyā. Huh? No, the God was missing. It’s only Māyā. It’s like impersonal. That’s why they had. They tried to get the leader. He got some mystic powers to fight against God was kept impersonal. They didn’t. But it was interesting. I was thinking that we can have a movie showing all the things we want to show. Like Prabhupāda said, the scientists should discover the ātmā. So we cannot prove God’s presence, but we can prove the ātmā’s presence. But that’s taking our scientists long time also. So far they haven’t done it. But in a movie you can prove anything you want. We can’t just. In the movie you can just say the ātmā was discovered. And like that develop all the things. And show how people are being trapped anyway. People are realizing that we’re kept under some kind of illusion.

That much they’re understanding, but that this is all a superficial life. When I was 19 years old and I had joined the temple in Montreal, I was asked to go at a television station. They offered me $45 to play a role as a Hare Kṛṣṇa devotee. I was Hare Kṛṣṇa devotee and I had to play the role of Hare Kṛṣṇa devotee. So I had to play the role of a son who had become Hare Kṛṣṇa devotee. And one actor was hired to be my father. And this was like a kind of a loka adalat. Like some village elders were there. One psychiatrist, one doctor, one lawyer, one school teacher, three, four people. And they would hear the different side and they would give their judgment. So they gave us both a script and they say, may the best man win.

In other words, they give the concept. Then we had to just act it. So of course I was better prepared because I knew the part since I was playing myself. And he was, you know, acting. So he had to. Didn’t know what to expect, actually. So his point was that he had given me some vehicle or something like that, and I wanted to sell it and use the money for the temple. But his point of view was that he gave it for my sense gratification and not for giving to the Hare Ka’s. Therefore, he did not want to give me the vehicle. He was taking back the vehicle he gave me so that I won’t sell it and give the money to the Hare Kṛṣṇa. So this was something like that, the debate.

So when I presented Bai’s point of view that this was given to me and now this is my way of life and I will be using it for a good purpose, so there’s no loss in this. And just if it doesn’t fit in exactly with what my father understands, it doesn’t mean he should take back the things he gave to me. And so on. Hare kṛṣṇa. Thank you. Do you like hare kṛṣṇa? So it was interesting because these judges were not actors. They may be actors, but they were actually in real life what they were said to be. Professor, doctor, lawyer and so on. So during that there’s a 15 minute. First he speak commercial. You have to have commercial, right? Then I speak commercial, then finally the last commercial and then after that they will give their verdict.

So during that break, we are sitting there waiting for the commercial time to be over. And then they are looking and they say, just see, this person really believes in what he’s doing. And then of course, I am 19, so I don’t know, I am still idealist. All these, they’re all my elders, 45, whatever, 50. And then each of them saying, yes, wouldn’t it be wonderful to believe in what you’re doing? And the others said, I don’t think it’s possible for me to believe in anything anymore. And they were talking amongst us. So for me, I never forgot, because I had realized this when I was in university, that none of my professors believed in anything they were teaching.

It’s very disheartening when you’re going and studying and people who don’t believe in what they’re teaching, they just learned it and they’re teaching, but they don’t believe in it. Because I wanted to know what was the purpose of life. But all the people who were teaching, they didn’t even believe what their own teaching, what they were teaching. So how do I get from them any idea what life is? So that reminded me when these people, they said also the same thing. Look at these Believin. So I don’t know, maybe India, they are new. Prabhupāda said that sometimes the Indians are new to this technology and things, so they have a high opinion. He called it like a new crowd. The Westerners are already fed up with the materialism. They have lost hope that materialism is going to fully fulfill everything.

So he called like the old crows, they are already selective about what they eat, but the new crows  will eat everything that the Westerns are throwing away. And he was lamenting that India should be selective also and take what is good from the west and not take the garbage. So this is the one Special thing about Kṛṣṇa Consciousness is that bhakti is based upon belief. The devotees actually believe in what they are doing. Of course, even in the beginning, one may not believe that if they do it  will still work. Because Kṛṣṇa consciousness works. Because when you perform Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you can experience the result. It does not take long for someone to believe. It’s not just a theory. So we need to bring people over the threshold where it’s a theory and bring them to the level of experience.

That’s where the chanting of rounds, that’s where the rendering of the devotional service, that’s where all doing the spiritual activities is very important. Because then they can get the actual taste. Now in Māyāpur we’re just experiencing a big flood. It came almost up to the first floor. Narcinghadev up to the waist was covered with water. I heard now the water is gradually going down. So Prabhupāda said that when the Māyāpur floods, since that’s the birthplace of Caitanya Mahprabhu, this is a special message from Kṛṣṇa that since the original place of the Sankirtan movement is flooding, that means the whole world should be flooded with Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. So that means that preaching needs to enhance. No, preaching is not a stereotype thing. Because as there are different types of people, you had to reach them in different ways.

You know, maybe in America initially we had young people who were in lot of young people were that time freedom to join such things. But as time changed the 70s and 80s, people became different nature. So I think in America they didn’t adapt so quickly. I have been for over 10 years telling them to do the congregational preaching. But even now they’re just starting. In a few places. No, they accept it’s the only future, but they’re slow in starting. So many times people ask me today when we had Darshan in this circumstance, how we can preach in that circumstance, how we can preach to this type of wife and this type of husband and this type of son and this type of person. But this is where you all need to become Nimitta Ma trainer Sabyasachin.

Just like Arjuna was an instrument in Kṛṣṇa’s hand, you need also to become instrument in Kṛṣṇa’s hand. How to help someone to pray to Kṛṣṇa and ask him to reveal how you can help a person, how that person can be reached. Because as many people as there are, there’s that many ways of reaching someone. Of course, if they get some association from advanced devotee or if there’s some special Day some special situation. Sometimes that alone can awaken someone. Or some people are awakened gradually. Now I told you that glories of the Ganges previously. Because now in Māyāpur we have the Ganges everywhere. We understand what it means. Flooding. Flooding means wherever you look on all the sides there’s nothing but water. So when we say flooding that means eventually people  will see everywhere there’s Hare Kṛṣṇa. But were discussing earlier today about the Ganges.

There was a devotee called Satya Dharma. And he would go every day to the Gaṅgā and take his bath. Then he would go home with one bucket of water and bring it to his home and sprinkle on his family members heads. So he was a devotee of Gaṅgā then. So one day he was taking his bath and he was completed and he was coming back with his bucket of water. Meanwhile there was another person. He was also born in Brahmin family. But his name was something like Kalakutta. And he was not a good Brahmina. He was, you can say Brahma Bandhu. He was a fallen Brahmin, fallen relative of a Brahmin. He became very greedy and he was working on politics with the government. Got caught and everything. That royal court. And he was brokering his influence to get some gain. A lazy guy.

And he was engaging sometime in cheating people and doing so many bad things. He didn’t follow any rules or regulations of piety. So he was walking down the road. And in the middle of the road and it was midday there was a big. What do you call that? A bull lying in the middle of the road, resting in the sun. Now the bull was just sleeping. He is not bothering anybody. But Kolakutta thought what is this beast doing lying in the road blocking the way? And he decided that he wanted to drive out the bull. He was indignant that this bull is just blocking the road like this. Why should I step off the road for a bull? Let him move. So he picked up a stick from the side of the road and he started to beat the bull.

Now this was not a bullock, it was a bull. And he was a very passionate bull even though he was peacefully resting. But when he was rudely awakened like this, he became angry and he started to dig up the dirt and he charged and he got Kolakuta with his horn right in the heart and threw him in the air. And he fell down on the road. Spot de. Open heart surgery. And then the bull went off. So who was the victor? Meanwhile Satya Dharma came walking by and he saw this body lying on the road. So he just took some Gaṅgā water and sprinkled it over the body. Then he went on towards his house because he thought, you know, just look at someone just died. Horrible thing. And then he went.

As he going about 10 minutes later he could see all type of Yama Duttas. Messengers of Yama Raja flying by him. But they were carrying a wounded Yamaduta. So bleeding, decapitated, arm missing. And he’s saying what happened to all of you? He said, your fault. You are the one that did this to us. And you’re asking why? What did I do? I didn’t do anything. No, you’re the one that did this to us. What do you mean what did I do? Tell me what happened. You didn’t put that Gaṅgā water on top of that Kalakuta. Yes I did. But so what? So that was the cause of our problems. You are the cause. So what do you mean? What happened? You see this Kalakuta was on our wanted list. We were waiting for him for a long time.

We had a special rehabilitation program set up. Hot and cold baths, everything. Boiling water, freezing, whatever. They had the whole program. So when he died we came there and it was a big group of us. And we know these materialists are attached to their bodies. They don’t want to leave. So we had to pull him out by force. While were pulling him out, you came and sprinkled your Gaṅgā water. And suddenly the Vishnu Duttas appeared. And they caught the ropes. And they told us that no, you cannot take him. Now our leaders they said what do you mean we can’t take him? This is belong to us. This Kalakuta is a sinful man. He cheated his best friend, killed him, cut his body in pieces, threw him in a well and then stole his money.

He made widows pregnant and caused them to have abortions. He did so they had list of all so many things. He was, you know, number one charge, obese. So. Yamaraja Yama duttas they had already planned for him. So that leading of the Yamaduttas were telling the Vishnu Duttas that he has to go with us. Vishnu Dutta says not our worry. You see, once he was sprinkled by the Ganges water. This is coming from the lotus feet of Vishnu himself. What sin he did is all cleared away. So now he is free from sin. He is coming with us. But our leaders, they couldn’t comprehend this. They said how is it possible? Just little sprinkle, dinkle of water and all the sin is gone. Come on he is going with us. We are taking. And the Vishnu Duttas were very offended.

They said, you are offending Mother Gaṅgā. You are doubting how powerful she is. Then the Yamaduttas by force they are going to pull away this Kalakuta from the Vishnu duttas. And so the Vishnu duttas were objecting. Then they attacked the Vishnu duttas. So Vishnu Dutta said, first you are offending the devotee of the Lord Mother Gaṅgā which is offense to Kṛṣṇa himself. And now you are attacking us. So we had no other choice. Chakra. They called for the Suryasan chakra. And they all had their chakras, little miniature chakras. And these chakras start going and coming off the arm. They’re going with their weapon and chop the arm off the Yamadutta’s arm. So the Yamadutas are getting head chopped, arm chopped like a chainsaw, just chopping. So after a short time, the Yamaduttas realized this is not a winning program.

And they had to flee away. And they picked up their wounded. So that’s why they are chastising. Sathya Dharma. What you have done, you sprinkle, you just throwing your Gaṅgā water everywhere, causing us so much trouble. Sathya Dharma looked at his bucket of water. How a few drops of Gaṅgā water could make such a difference he never imagined. He was doing. But now his realization, he became so much faithful because he could see all these things. He turned around and he went back to the Gaṅgā. And he offered 108 Dundabats again and offered prayers to the Gaṅgā that you know, maybe I took you so much for granted and you’d’re so merciful we cannot imagine. And just so many beautiful. He composed beautiful Sanskrit prayers.

When he completed those prayers and took a bath again, the deity, the Gaṅgā May herself, she came out from the water, riding on her Vahan which is a Gangetic crocodile. She is moon complexion and wearing white garments. And she has Shanka and Padda in her hands. Just mercy. So she said that I am very pleased with you, Sathya Dharma. I like to give you a blessing. What do you want? He said, I want pure bhakti for Lord Kṛṣṇa Rebo. But if I am not able to have the pure bhakti, He said, I want two things. One thing is that I can have pure devotion for Kṛṣṇa. I am not able to achieve in this life that I can be born in. He just asked for the pure bhakti for Kṛṣṇa.

The second thing he asked for was that at the time when I leave my body that I can be in touch with your water. So. Like this Gaṅgā is giving us so much mercy, flooding us in Māyāpur so cannot avoid. So even a little drop of Ganges water has such effect. But when we read Bhagavad Gītā, that vibration is what was spoken by Kṛṣṇa. So how much potency Bhagavad Gītā has. Every time we read Bhagavad Gītā, what potency Kṛṣṇa Prasadam has. All these things can create revolutions in the sinful life of people. Even if somebody is arguing and saying, you Kṛṣṇa, I have had enough of your Kṛṣṇa. Maybe it’s offensive in some respect. But the fact even if they just say Kṛṣṇa, they’re also getting a blessing. There was one Buddhi Manta Khan.

He approached one Kaji and requested him that you please chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Many times he requested. So one day when he requested that Kaji said that I  will chant Hare Kṛṣṇa tomorrow, He started jumping for joy. He said, already you are chanting. You said Hare Kṛṣṇa. Even if you say Hare Kṛṣṇa once, that means that your spiritual life has begun. So just now continue chanting, you already started. So even if somebody is saying Hare Kṛṣṇa wants, they are also blessed. Is that right? Thank you. So our test, how to get people to keep chanting. Of course, if they chant in a favorable way, that  will be much more effective. But even accidental chanting of the Holy name has got so much effect. So all of you are very powerful because you’re carrying with you these powerful instruments.

But we cannot tell all these things to the faithless people because atheist people, they won’t believe all this thing. And they may make fun and commit some uparad. Our Sadaputta Prabhu, he’s scientist. So his job is to figure out how to present our philosophy to the scientific community. So he was. So we ask how to present this whole concept of hell reincarnation. He said, reincarnation is not so difficult because now there’s a lot of o o B experiences and NDE experiences. You know what that is? Out of body and near death experience. On the operating table. People have left their body and seen the doctors operating. He’s gone, she’s gone. Doing that electric shocking and everything and bringing them back. Then they come back, then they can remember what they were saying. There was one person, they said, well, we don’t believe you.

And she said, well, I was out the window. And if you look out the window, you will find on the ledge there’s some cloth or something there. Then they looked out the ledge and you cannot see down also. You had to really lean over the window. There was some protruding, like shaja, to lean over. Then you could see underneath it was some cloth. So then they had to believe. And then she said what each doctor was saying also. But that time she was completely out. In fact, they thought she was dead. They were saying, she’s gone. So we had this one seminar in Atlanta on this topic, and one psychologist came who had done regressions for 10,000 people, taking them to their previous life. And when he was explaining some of these things, my mother was in the audience.

And afterwards she said, you know, I never realized what happened. But when I had a stroke, aneurysm, they were operating on me. And I also left my body. And I was watching, but I didn’t know that it was me. I didn’t know they were operating on me. Now I realized what was going on. I never understood what was happening, but that was me because no one could explain to me. So she also had one of these. O. O. B. And then he was saying that just like when we are dreaming according to Vedas, we are in our subtle body. How many of you have had a nightmare, a bad dream in your life ever? You ever have a bad dream? Sometimes. So what happens when we have a bad dream, when we wake up is a relief. So you can imagine what hell is.

It’s a bad dream. But you cannot wake up because you’re already dead. It’s on a subtle platform. You’re dead already. You’re going off on a subtle plane. So hell is all in a subtle plane. And they take you through their programs. That’s why they can do all these amazing things to you there. And you don’t die because you already did. It’s all on a subtle plane. It’s all happening to your psychic or astral body. They give you virtual bodies, which they subtle bodies. And they do all kinds of things to it to reprogram you for your next birth. So, yes, the sins are washed away because it’s still there even after the punishment. What? Some of the sins are removed or still there even after punishment? Oh, they don’t. There may be still some left. In Padma Prana, they get.

They get rid of few and then they get rid of some. And then they give a next life. Then they come back again. They say, still they’re not. It’s ongoing, You see. But when you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, you can change all this situation. So we hope that all of you  will be very good representatives Caitanya Dutts to give the mercy to people and save them from hellish existence, from hellish suffering so they can experience real happiness in this lifetime. Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare. Anyone want a singer? Came to us. One of the previous books that we follow three times while. Says you get some effect like bathing by chanting loudly the holy name of the Gaṅgā. Gaṅgā. Gaṅgā. Gaṅgā. Gaṅgā. Gaṅgā. Gaṅgā Gaṅgā. There are so many holy places. Rādhākunda is most holy.

Some places are so holy you have to be very careful to be in a pure enough consciousness to bathe. Prabhupāda for some most devotees advice is taking Rādhā Kund water and putting on the head. Someone else can distribute the prasad and I can give the nolchin. Yeah, but then you should do it properly. Some people are going and playing water sports or something and getting bit by the tortoises. There’s very big tortoises there. Yeah, you have to have the right consciousness. Hare Kṛṣṇa who wants nursing oil?
