- [12:30]
- It is our glory if we spend our life and soul, our whole life, glorifying God,
- [12:37]
- glorifying the Holy Lord. Lord Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
- [14:15]
- Everybody sing and dance, dance for Krishna!
- [16:06]
- Complete knowledge. If you read Bhagavad-gita you get complete knowledge.
- [16:14]
- So what Bhagavan says?
- [16:21]
- Bhagavan Krishna is teaching Arjuna so in the ninth chapter He says, “My dear Arjuna,
- [16:29]
- I am now speaking to you the most confidential knowledge. Guhyatamam.
- [16:36]
- Tama means superlative. Positive, comparative and superlative.
- [16:42]
- In Sanskrit tara-tama. Tara is comparative and tama means superlative.
- [16:52]
- So here Bhagavan says, the perfect Personality of Godhead says.
- [17:02]
- “Now I am speaking to you the most confidential knowledge.”
- [17:14]
- The knowledge is with full knowledge, not that imagination.
- [17:26]
- Vijnana means “science.” Practical demonstration.
- [17:36]
- If you learn this knowledge.
- [17:44]
- Moksyase means you get liberation and asubha means inauspiciousness.
- [17:51]
- Inauspiciousness. So our present life, at the present moment.
- [17:59]
- Present life means so long we posses this material body it is full of inauspiciousness.
- [18:08]
- Moksyase asubha. Asubha means inauspicious.
- [18:15]
- So what is that confidential knowledge? Now Krishna says, again stressing.
- [18:35]
- Srila Rupa Goswami when he met Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu at Prayaga.
- [18:42]
- There is a place, holy place in India, which is called Prayaga.
- [18:49]
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu after accepting His renounced order of sannyasa,
- [18:55]
- He went to Prayaga and other holy places, so Srila Rupa Goswami,
- [19:04]
- he was minister of the government, but he gave up everything and joined
- [19:11]
- this Hare Krishna movement with Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
- [19:16]
- So when he first met he offered this verse.
- [19:25]
- Vadanaya means the most magnanimous
- [19:54]
- Yes, Krishna asked that, “You rascal, surrender unto Me.”
- [20:06]
- You are all rascals, you surrender to Krishna. Then your life will be successful.
- [20:18]
- This is the sum and substance of Krishna’s instruction.
- [20:35]
- Krishna is not asking only Arjuna.
- [20:39]
- He is asking all of us, all rascals, that you are manufacturing so many things
- [20:46]
- for becoming happy. You’ll never be happy. Rest assured.
- [20:51]
- But surrender unto Me and I will make you happy.
- [20:55]
- This is Krishna consciousness, that’s all. One line.
- [21:05]
- So what can be done? Krishna is offering all opportunities and we,
- [21:13]
- humble servant of Krishna, we are trying to preach it
- [21:17]
- but the rascals will not accept it. What can be done? That is the difficulty.
- [21:25]
- They want to continue to remain as rascals.
- [21:29]
- This is the difficulty. Otherwise everything is there, if we take it.
- [21:42]
- Even a child can take benefit out of it, Krishna consciousness.
- [21:46]
- That we have seen practically. But we’ll not take it. That is the difficulty.
