Glory of the Holy Name (1996-06-08, Houston)

Nitiyalila Pravista Omvis Nupada Astar Satashri Shirimad Bhaktividanta Narayana。 Goswami Ma Hallag-harikatha of Shirira Gurudwa (lecture).

[The following is the translation of sirrah La Goroud Wa's dialogue with devotees in Hindi]

Shirira Gurudwa: I have talked about tattva (philosophy of truth) in many cities in Britain and the Netherlands, as well as in Houston. You should know the answers to these questions, such as: Who am I? Who is Krishna? What is Maya? Where did we come down? Where are we going? What are our responsibilities, especially those who are about to die? What should people who are going to die in two days, three days, ten years, a hundred years or a thousand years do? No matter how many years they spend in this material world, they are doomed to die. People born must die. Just because Bhagavan can't be seen or perceived by material senses, people doubt his existence. But it is an indisputable fact that everyone is going to die. Besides death, one thing is true. Is that there is too much suffering in this world.

[Recording interrupted]

The teachings of all epic classics, such as the Vedas and Upanishads, are the same as the stories of the past: devotion to Krishna bhajan. It doesn't matter even if you have given up all your responsibilities and didn't get much money, wealth, honor and reputation. Even if you are forced to beg, you will get nothing even if you ask. Even so, there is nothing to worry about.

[Recording interrupted]

If you have pure love for Krishna Chandra, then your life is successful. Although I did all my duties, I didn't invest in Bazin, so everything was in vain. Everything becomes like "Guda-Gobara".

[Laughter]

So, while you are still in this person, recite Krishna's name immediately. Even if you become prime minister, you will not be happy. So, don't expect any happiness in this material world. You will have to give up everything in this world. Therefore, in the scripture bhagavatam said:

nri-deham adyam su-lab ham su-durlaham

plavam su-kalpam guru-karnadharam

mayanukulena nabhasvateritam

Do you know who he is?

-Scripture Bogawatan +0 1.20+07

Krishna gave you this man. You also got a real guru, an enlightened soul. With Krishna's grace, you also get Sadu-Asan. In Sadu Sangha, you are always taught: "Join Krishna Nabazan (service). No one is more kind than Krishna. Putana tried to kill Krishna, but he gave her a mother's position in Goloka. Who can be so kind? Brahma Gayani has been engaged in asceticism for millions of years and always sings "Aham-brahmasmi". When they reach perfection in knowledge, they get magical powers. However, Putana got a much higher position than them. Therefore, you should be Krishna Bajan. If you don't do this, you will become atman Gatti, the butcher of the soul. I will tell a carefree story about Bhagavatam.

Once, when herding cattle, Krishna went to Bandir Wan Forest with all Saka (friends). They played flutes happily and sang and danced with cows. Ben Durwen is near Vrindavan, though on the other side. He made the cows drink yamuna river, and then they rested under a big tree. While chewing ruminant food, they happily rested in the shade of a big tree.

The cow immediately stood up and ran to a meadow where the grass was very soft and green. At that time, Krishna was eating cream, cakes and other dishes with his Saka. His mother sent many plates carefully wrapped in leaves. Saka sat around Krishna and formed a Qian Qian circle around him. Krishna sat in the middle, but every shepherd boy thought that Krishna was just sitting with him. Even the boy sitting far away from Krishna thought, "Krishna is sitting next to me." Everyone in Saka smiled and joked, and happily fed Krishna with deep feelings. Every shepherd boy has this feeling. This is the kindness of Krishna and the embodiment of his incredible energy.

When the cowherd fed Krishna, the cow continued to walk away. Before, cows would never leave Krishna. But seeing fresh grass everywhere, the cows went to eat grass. But a big fire swallowed up an extremely dry land. The cow entered an area with many sharp vines. They went in, but they couldn't find the exit. The Saka people became anxious and thought, "Where are all the cows?" They looked for cows everywhere, but they couldn't find them. Gopas (cowboy) stopped eating and began to look everywhere. They didn't ask Krishna or Baladwapab where their cows were. They chased the traces of chewed grass and hoof prints and finally reached the rattan grassland where the cattle were trapped. At the same time, the devil in Konsa saw this scene and thought, "Wow, this is great." They set fire to the forest. The wind blew the burning forest fire in all directions, and after a few minutes, the whole forest seemed to be reduced to ashes. Sakamoto and Niu are surrounded by fire. Everyone is dying.

They shouted, "Ha Krishna! Help us! Hey, Baladwaji, help us! "

When they shouted like this, Krishna and Baradwa immediately appeared there. Krishna told them, "Don't be afraid. Close your eyes. I am coming, don't be afraid. "

Why did Krishna ask them to close their eyes? There is a reason behind these words. Once, Krishna ate dirt, and Ya Shu Da found it. Holding a stick in her hand, she asked Krishna, "Have you ever eaten mud?"

"No, Mom, I didn't eat mud."

"You are lying."

"I didn't eat mud."

"Then how do your children say it is different?"

"They lie. They just had a fight with me. When I eat the cream you gave me, they want to take it away. So, they fought with me and lied. "

"Why does your brother Baladva also say that you eat mud?"

"Baladva also asked me for cream, but I didn't give it. Therefore, he is on their side. "

Therefore, in the forest fire, Krishna thought, "I was scolded by Ya Shu Da's mother for eating mud." What would my mother think if I swallowed fire in front of the Saka people? She will twist my ear and punish me. Therefore, I can't let the Saka family know that I am going to swallow this fire. "

How did Krishna do it? He told the Saka people, "Close your eyes." He didn't want the Saka people to see it. If they see Krishna swallowing fire, they will become very scared.

They will think, "Oh, Krishna is dying. There is a fire in his mouth. "

Therefore, Krishna told them, "Close your eyes and open them after one minute."

Then, they all did it. When Sakas opened his eyes, they found themselves sitting in the shade of the Bundhit tree, and the Bundhit tree is the Bodhi tree. They saw cows eating ruminant food calmly and happily. The Saka people also have food in their hands. They thought, "We just had a dream? Are we enchanted? What happened to us? "

Try to understand this carefree time, The Secret Behind. For millions of years, we have forgotten Krishna and stayed in this material world for nothing. "Go" means cattle, Wada, senses and knowledge. The word go has many meanings. Sanskrit words have more than one meaning. This word has many meanings. Depending on the specific context, the word can even have fifteen to twenty meanings. So, here, go means cattle and senses. Our senses are compared to cows. Krishna is a friend in our hearts. This has been mentioned in the Vedas. If someone wants to do something bad, there will be a voice in his heart saying, "Don't do it." This voice will warn you whenever you want to do something bad. Who said that? It was our "friend" who said so. He is a witness to our happiness and pain. He observes all our actions, but he won't taste the fruits of our actions. He's just a witness. But we think: "I am a taster of the fruits of my actions." Let's take action and taste the fruit. Therefore, we suffer.

Therefore, the witness of Giwatoma's (soul) action is Krishna. Our senses are like cows. Without Krsna's permission, the cow ran to eat grass. Similarly, we look for happiness just like cows look for grass. You study and succeed. You got a job or started a business. You make a lot of money, but you think, "Brother, I don't have a wife yet. I want to marry a beautiful woman. I will be happy because of this. " But after marriage, your wife didn't have a son. You are in a dilemma. After many hardships, I finally gave birth to a son, but the son is a demon on earth. He won't listen to anyone. He left you after he got married. Then he lived a comfortable life with his wife and children. On the other hand, your wife and you are in great pain because of being separated from your son. Similarly, we focus on finding happiness and make a lot of efforts. But at the end of life, we realized: "I didn't get any happiness." Ask your father, grandfather or great-grandfather if their lives are happy.

They will answer, "I have never been happy in my life."

But they will tell you, "Oh, but you should get married."

Your mother would say, "I want to see your son die again."

[Laughter]

But the same son left his father and lived alone with his wife and children. But how will he end? When he was old, he suffered the same fate as his father. Brother, you should realize that there is no happiness in material life. Even if there is happiness, it is only the appearance. Our senses are never satisfied. There are many rich people in this world, but their stomachs have never been filled with wealth. They want more. They have many factories. Some people do business illegally, get caught and go to prison. Where is happiness? Even if a person has a lot of money, if he still desires more, then he is poor, even if he is rich in appearance. He is the poorest man.

So, who is the rich? A rich man will be content with what he has. He has no scruples. Only the devotee of the Supreme Lord (Bhagavad-gita) will think so, and only he will be satisfied. No one will be satisfied with what they have. So, please understand this. Live happily. Be content with what Pablo has given. Never feel pain. Besides, I've been doing Bazin of Bagawan. So compare these cows to the senses.

Develop Krishna Bajan, even if you can't. Even if your consciousness is disturbed, you should always be involved. Whether you are happy or painful, you must have Krsna consciousness. Never leave this road. Krishna is Antarami, who knows the inner witness of everything. Just as Krishna saved the cow and the shepherd boy who cried for help, he will also save you in an emergency. If someone shouts, "Hey, Nate." He appeared at once. Dobadi is in serious condition and will be stripped naked soon. She is alone. Pan Da tile can't help her, Bisma Pidamoha can't help her, and Donachaya can't help her. No one can help her.

In great pain, she cried, "now my life has left me." I will lose my virginity. " As soon as she called Krishna, the Lord appeared soon. She called out to him, knowing that no one could help her. If we trust Krishna so much, then he will surely save us. Nobody can save us. But he will always help and save us. In the Book of the Past, the Bhagavatam and other classics, countless such carefree times are explained. When Jia Mila was dragged away by the ghost of Yan Luowang, he called out to his son Narayana. Although he called his son, the angel of God appeared and saved him. You all know Vamikiji's life. He is a robber and a murderer. He killed so many Brahmans and Mi Zu Ki that their Brahmans could fill many wells. When he saw Naradaji, he ran to kill him.

Naradaji raised his hands and said, "Stop it." When Radaji said this, Wamiki turned into a stone. He can't move at all. He stood still.

Nara told him, "You can't kill me. Who have you committed so many crimes for? Will your wife and parents share your sins? You killed so many people just to support your family. Isn't it? "

"yes."

"Then ask them if they are willing to share your evil deeds, or if you have to bear all the consequences of your sins alone."

L 'envoi replied, "Oh, you are a very clever man. You wanted to get out of here, so you said these words. I'm not leaving. If I tie you to a tree, I will go back and ask them. "

"Well, you can tie me to a tree."

After tying Naradaji to a tree, Valmiki went home and asked his father, "Dear father, I have committed many crimes. I killed thousands of people and stole their money. Won't you share my sins? "

"My son, when you were a child, I supported and raised you. At that time, I didn't let any of my sins touch you. Therefore, although you must support me now-I won't accept any of your sins. I will eat what you got illegally, but I won't accept any of your sins. Now, I don't want to take any responsibility for your bad behavior. " His father's answer is clear.

So he went to ask his mother, "Mom, I have committed many crimes in order to support you. Do you suffer all the pain because of my crime, or do you share it? "

"My son, when you are still in the womb, I will feed you. I won't accept any of your sins. You have committed many crimes to take care of me. But why should I suffer for it? "

The wife gave the same answer, and she would not accept any sin from her husband. Wamiki returned to Narada Goswami and asked, "What should I do? No one wants to share my sins. "

"All right. Close your eyes. " Naradaji said.

Then, he poured some water from the kettle and sprinkled some water on Wamiki's eyes. Wamiki took revenge on him when he saw that all the people he killed stood in a row with weapons. It seems that everyone takes turns to kill him, and it will take millions of lives. This line is too long. Vamic was frightened by what he saw. Naradaji then sprinkled water on him to make him regain consciousness.

Wamiki fell at Narada Goswami's feet and begged, "Please help me."

"All right. Then break your bow and arrow and throw away all your weapons. Sing' Ruama Ruama'. "

Although Wamiki tried to recite "Ruama Ruama", he couldn't. He is a man full of sin. All of you think it's easy to sing Bhagavan's name on your deathbed, but this is not the case. A sinner can't pronounce it, and it is difficult for this person to pronounce the name of the Supreme Lord. Wamiki tried to pronounce it many times, but he couldn't pronounce the holy name. Although I tried hundreds of thousands of times, I still couldn't recite it.

Narada told him, "Since you are used to hunting animals, sing: Mara, Mara."

He read, "Mara, Mara." This is the opposite of the holy name Rama. Singing the reverse of the holy name, Wamiki finally sang the holy name.

"Sit here and recite the holy name. Don't stop chanting Don't eat anything, not even water. I hope you won't feel hungry. I will bless you. " Narada said.

Wamiki sat where he was told and recited, "Myra, Myra."

When will he recite it? Until the body is surrounded by an ant mountain. Ants eat his flesh and drink his blood. His body has been integrated with the soil, leaving only bones. Even his bones echoed with the sound of "as hemp as hemp". Brahumaji came and sprinkled some water on Wamiki from Kamanda Lu (kettle). He recited it for 50 thousand years. Wamiki became a young man. Therefore, I have described how Wamiki finally became a great devotee of Lord Ruamah.

Lord Brahma told Vamiki, "I will authorize you to write Ruomayang. Even before Ruama's free time begins, you can write all the free time from his birth. "

Therefore, Wamiki became a world-famous great devotee. Although he used to be a robber, he later became Mi Zu Ki (rsi). This is the glory of the holy name of Ruma. Therefore, we should always have confidence in the name of Bagawan.

-Brehard Naradia Plana

Chaitanya Mahapabuji is Krishna himself. Niti ananda Pabuji also taught us the importance of chanting holy names. The glory of the holy name has been recorded in the Vedas since ancient times. Naradaji preached the glory of the holy name everywhere. Even if you are not enlightened, it doesn't matter, but you should recite the holy name. The holy name will eventually arrange a guru for you, making you qualified to be the mountain (audience) of Krishna. The holy name will do anything for you. Therefore, sing the holy name of Krishna. There is no choice but to sing Krishna's name, especially in the Kali era. You can't meditate in Cali's time. Meditation or meditation was possible in Satya's time. Why? At that time, the air was pure and the food was pure. Nowadays, the food we get is synthetic. Even milk is synthetic milk. Cattle were fed beef. As a result, they went crazy. This will cause many problems. Unlike in the early days, rice, cajanus cajan, wheat and other foods are tasteless now. Everything has become artificial, how can the mind be pure? Therefore, there are many problems. In India, if a person has four daughters, he must work very hard to get them married. He can't sleep. Just questions and questions. So, how can we devote ourselves to Bazin (spiritual practice)? Therefore, in the Cali era, meditation or meditation was impossible. Tapa, or asceticism, is also impossible. Can you sit up straight for five minutes? Although they are all young people, they all sit hunched. Their backs can't be straight.

[Laughter]

Although I am eighty years old, I still sit up straight. However, these young people sit like old people. They can't sit up, so how can they do meditation or tapasha? In Cali's time, this was impossible. Can you do puja (worship) in Cali era? This is also impossible. Anti-religious people throw idols into the sea. This is also impossible. Demons had an advantage in Cali's time. There used to be only one person named Hailanya Casip, but now there are thousands. Therefore, in this era, all this is impossible. Therefore, chant Krishna's name. No one can steal this wealth from you. You can walk, sit, sleep, chant, and even chant holy names for free. You can sing during the day, at night or at any time during the day. It doesn't matter if you are sick. You can also recite Halinama.

I tell a short story to illustrate the glory of the holy name. In the past, oil was squeezed out by traditional methods. No machines were used at that time. Tie a rope to the cow, the rope will grind and the oily seeds will be crushed. Then, you can get oil. Naradaji met an oil producer driving a bull and asked, "Oh, brother, why don't you recite the holy name of Ruma or Krishna?"

"Swamiji, I have no time at all."

"If you don't have time, what are you doing in the toilet? Do you at least have to shit? "

"yes."

"Then read while shitting."

"All right. I will do as you say. "

In India, people take a shit in the Woods. But now there is a bathroom. In my time, toilets and other facilities didn't even exist. When the oil press merchant squatted in the toilet in the forest, he read, "Ruamaruamama." Hannumanji vowed that he would immediately go to any place where the holy name of Ruma was sung. He will show 10,000 portraits of Qian Qian and go to the place where 10,000 people in Qian Qian read the name of Ruama. This is Ha Numan's oath. He couldn't calm down until he heard Ruma's name. So Ha Numan went to the place where the man squatted in the toilet, and the man read, "Ruamaruama."

Looking at this man, Ha Numan said, "Oh, this pumping unit is really unreasonable. He shouted Bagawan's name in such a dirty situation. He is taking a shit. Shouldn't he take a shower before chanting? First of all, he should be clean. "

But the man didn't take a shower, so he took a shit and continued to recite. Ha Numan kicked the man hard. Although he was kicked by the powerful Ha Numan, he was safe and sound. The oilman continued chanting, "Ruama, Ruama."

Ha Numan thought, "When I kicked Ruavana, he was kicked to the ground. It was the same when I played in Karna, Kumba. But why did this man get kicked and not move? Why didn't he fall to the ground? No one in this world can stand on my feet and not fall to the ground. Why didn't he fall to the ground? " Ha Numan then left this place.

The man stopped talking and got up and left. Ha Numan went to Lumamu's palace during the Lord's night break. When he got there, he heard Ruama Chanzhuoji moaning.

Ha Numan greeted Lord Ruama Chandeleji: "Pabu, why do you keep moaning?" Is there any difficulty? "

"You kicked me. Instead, ask me why I feel so painful. "

"When did I ever kick you? Why should I kick you, Pabu? "

"You kick me so hard. I think my waist is broken. "

"When have I ever kicked you?"

"The pumping unit is reading my name. My name is the same as mine. The holy name is no different from mine. I will go to places where people pronounce my name. "

The soul is always clean. What is feces? This is what a person has eaten. After food is digested, useless dregs are discharged from the body with a stench. People who read Baga's name are always clean. Understand this: people who recite the holy name will never be unclean. But is it clean for a person to take a bath four times a day without chanting the Buddha's name? He is not clean.

Ha Numan told Ruama, "I grabbed my ear and promised that even if a person recited your name in an unclean state, I wouldn't say anything."

Therefore, when walking, sleeping, sitting and standing, you should recite the name of Ba Guan (Supreme Lord). Those who recite in this way will get the goodness of Ba Guan. Although you are not interested in reciting now, it doesn't matter. But you must continue to recite. Recite for two or four days, and you will realize that you have developed a hobby of reciting. The holy name has incredible power. Therefore, the holy name has wonderful glory.

Now my bell is ringing, otherwise I would speak a little more.

Gora Premanand! Haribo.

Madaoui, sing the Mahatma.
