20231129 Question and Answer Session

The following is a Śrī Caitanya-candrāmṛtam class given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja, on November 29th,2023 in Śrī Dhāma Māyāpur, India.

Any question?

Question: How can we have the mood of Lord Caitanya?

Jayapatākā Swami: You see how this ācārya, he only wants to take the shelter of Lord Caitanya. He realizes that Lord Caitanya, He gives one blessings to see things from the eyes of Lord Caitanya. That if we want to see things from a sāttvika mood, we need the mercy of Lord Caitanya. You see in the earlier verses, it said how people they hope to reach Kṛṣṇa by sādhana-bhakti and so on. But he said they can try, but I simply depend on the mercy of Lord Caitanya. If we have that mood that we want the mercy of Lord Caitanya, then it is possible. What do you think? Gaurāṅga! Nityānanda! Haribol! Last question.

If we understand how Lord Caitanya, He is the most merciful, He doesn’t see if you are qualified or not, He gives out freely love of Kṛṣṇa to everyone. So therefore, we want to take shelter of Lord Gaurāṅga!

Question: Māyā is attacking us, how to come out of it?

Jayapatākā Swami: We read in one of the verses ahead where it said if we are attacked by Māyā, if our desire for sense gratification is growing, then we should just take shelter of Lord Caitanya. Gaurāṅga! By His mercy the desire for sense gratification will go away.

Hare Kṛṣṇa!
