Bhagvat- Katha @Pune
Excerpt : Day 2 Katha
Jay jay Radha Raman Hari bol.....
Naam- kirtan lila-kirtan & Dhaam-Kirtan all r kirtan...katha gatha
At the start of Katha....when song starts ...Katha starts at the same point
Katha can be Gadya or Padya (which is Sung)
In Maharashtra (state of India) Katha is known as Kirtan (Kirtankar is popular world- he sings bhajans, tells katha in between too) Shravan kirtan Shravan kirtan goes on...Smaran is result of these...once smaran (remembrance of Lord) is achieved nothing left unturned...
Gopis ...who r Shreshta(great) Bhaktah all time 0remember Vishnu & 2)never forget him....they know only two things …...
eta eva kinkara ( all procedures in Veda r servant of Lord's smaran )
one may think katha follows after Kirtan but not exactly Kirtan is part of same Katha....
Thank you all assembled.....& I heartily welcome ...once again to u all !!
Dhruva Maharaj is too reached in forest ...& Narad Muni is also arrived there
evam sanjalpitam matur akarnyarthagamam vacah sanniyamyatmanatmanam niscakrāma pituh purat (S.B. 4.8.24)
Mother said to Dhruva Maharaj...sanjalpitam ….not Prajalpam (gossips -like politics, gramkatha its dangerous which destroys Bhakti...so avoid it, Sadhuninda etc) So Sunitit saying with crying ….we r saying Dhruva Maharaj(DM) but he is still little kid to her...
Generally Matajis ...cry & say something in between & again cry...so its Stri-svabhav (womanly nature)
But Suniti's words r very important to achieve the goal for DM....in Vithur it is taking place
When DM listened ….then with Stable mind....( sometimes mind, intelligence also called Atma in scriptures ) Lord says Mind can be friend or can also be enemy...
Uddharet Atmana Atmanam (B.G.6.5)..... when mind falls lust rises so don't let to degrade mind but rather upgrade it
Saint Tukaram says, “Papachi vasana nako davoo dola....” (O God, let me not be witness to desire for sin, better make me blind...)
So conquer the chip things....& prefer simple living high thinking
So DM uplifted his consciousness....the words of Mother showed him the way....
“niscakrama pituh purat”..DM left living kingdom of his father...with empty pocket ...no suitcase, no shoulder bag, no backpack.....just left ( gyanvan, vairagyavan DM)
Narad Muni came to know this all...5 yr old boy who had never left palace ...today left whole kingdom...this might be talk of town....it might have reached upto heaven
Narad Muni reached there
DM directly reached in Van (forest) ….Vrindavan dhaam ki jay !!
Narad Muni(NM) touched DM with his lotus hands...the hands which destroy all sins...only by whose touch complete purification takes place...the hurdles in back to Godhead are the the sins
Krishna left 'swa dhham upgato...shyam taktva '…after 125 yrs ...when krishna left this planet Kaliyug arrived....who is hurdles in all our Sadhana ...(dutam , panam, suna , striya r all places of Kali ..and r mega-sins which r great hurdle in ur way to Lord)
So all hurdles disappears by touch of NM
aho tejah ksatriya nam mana-bhangam amrsyatam balo py ayam hrda dhatte yat samatur asad-vacah(S.B. 4.8.26)
( Narad muni thinking...see a Shtriya kumar...couldn't tolerate a light infringement upon his prestige......even he is small kid & left all his home palace & reached in forest )
Narada uvaca:
nadhunapy avamanam te sammanam vapi putraka lak sayamah kumarasya saktasya kridanadisu(S.B. 4.8.27)
O boy ...why r u considering honor dishonor...u r just a kid ...its ur time to play...why r u not getting this....you hv taken it too seriously & left everything...
When someone respect kid don't understand..if u place him on high chair ...he will cry to get down..if u offer him Noble Prize he will not call press, photographer....a kid can't percept this all …..
Narad Muni wondered... see this Shatriya blood!!
' vikalpe vidyamane' ….he is preaching be satisfied..
Lord also said to Arjuna
“sukha dukhe same' kritva labha labhou jaya jayou” (BG 2.38)
take victory defeat...honour...dishonour... ..of this world ..as same....this is moh (attachment)...and the person with bodily consciousness differentiate among...
This Life is also like a dream ….
“daivopasaditam yavad viksyesvara-gatim budhah'.. whatever destiny offers be satisfied with that...
Narad muni continued..” Mother told u ….so much....ya...but its not easy way ...so many obstacles will rise ...its my personal experience....I had to take 3 births …. King Bharat too got attached to a deer & remembered that deer at last moment ..so had to take birth of Deer ….its need to be very cautious...
Ppl wants to go back to Godhead...but they say “jato mat tato path “
once in Vrindavan preacher said...'if you hv ticket of Delhi how can u go Agra?”...then one audience replied, “earth is round globe.....so even if one starts travelling to south after circulating south pole will come back again at Dehli in North”
So the place which is 130 km in North ….crossing whole globe by jato mat tato path...(laughter)
So Lord say
“yanti deva-vrata devan pitrm yanti pitr-vratah bhutani yanti bhutejya yanti mad-yajino ’pi mam” (BG 9.25)
one can teach worship of forefathers, demigods...but ppl can't attend Lord by this all....Lord says demigod worshipers go to heaven, ' yanti mad-yajino ’pi mam ' those who will worship me...will come to me...'mam evai syasi satyam te pratijanam '
So 'jato mat tato patha...' will attain differently... so u ll get lots of dis-trackers...up to who says.”'I'm God & I can make you too God...” in foreign there was Guru-Industry many sages reached there ….they challenge ..” will make u Lord in 6 month at the cost of just few hundred dollars”
Srila Prabhupad (SP) says clearly . “ I m not God ..you too not... all we r Servants of Lord...” this is called true preaching.
Those ways which r not in coordination in BG, SB, scriptures, they can never offer u peace nor the Lord's ADBOE....
So Narad Muni saying “duraradhya”(very difficult to perform) …
'bharya kalahbhashini.....ten aranya gantavyam'
And again there is specific time to go to forest...whose mother is not there....Wife is quarrelsome..such person should go to forest...but ur Mother is there ...no wife problem so why r u going forest ..return back...
when the perfect time will come u can go to forest....Narad muni checking his determination
DM replied... u r saying it makes sense but not for me...it suits in Brahman community but I m shatriya... the arrows of Suruchi hurted my heart …so my heart can't hold ur Amrit vani
when person is highly affectionate about something....he can't see even after being shown
I want the post...that place which is best ( or above) the 3 worlds...pls say me about such place which is unattained by anyone yet....nor even my Great Grandfather Brahma
O sage u pls say me ...about …..playing Vina (narayan ) “Narad muni bajaye vina Radhika raman namne”.....like Sun orbits everywhere & lights everyone ...So u great sage !!
Maitray Uvach : ( he is saying to Vidur)
Narad muni blessesd DM
along jamuna river there is Dhruva-Ghat...there Narad Muni encountered Dhruva Maharaj ( among 24 ghats middle Vishram Gaht where Varah Bhagavan rested...Mahaprabhu reached there first when came in vrindavan...)
Now Narad Muni will show him the way ….
for the growth of Bhakti...3 things 1) Enthusiasm ( wake up at morning, chant , Mangal aarti in 4:30 AM …..if you heard ISKCON's conchshell in morning set ur watch as4:30AM) when distribution of book ...books r time-bomb...will blow at proper time...& enemies like anger, lust etc will get ruined...bullets too in Iskcon (Gulab jamun ). So we fire red bullets..
2. Nishchya (determination) 3) Dhairya (patience)..
with whole mind worship Lord ...go to Madhuvan worship Lord...because that forest having Lord's association forever
In Braj-Mandal Parikrama ...there r 12 forests..'jaha sab lila kela nandnandan' ..So the first forest during parikrama is madhuvan...& in that first place we visit is Dhruva-tila...where DM worshiped Lord...
All this Van & Braj vasi r very dear Lord...few r his friends..some r parents....some r Gopis, Radharani
When Lord was of 10 yrs he left Vrindvan...” Soduniya Gopinath Krsna Mathuresi Gela....akrurane raath sajavila ...ratha madhey Krishna “
Kamsa got killed ...then Lord continued in mathura for many years....but longing for Vrindavan....so Lord sent Udhava...and saying “Udhav...mohe braj bisrat nahi......”
Narad muni sending DM...to forest also called Braj...Lord can't forget that...
the sound of birds of Vrindavan reminding me...
playing, dancing with friends...all reminding me....
This Mathura is full of commercial things Gold & Silver.....but that Vrindavan is hub of Love
Gachham ya yamuna tatam …
Madhuvan....Demon Madu got kiiled ther by Lord...Madhu's son Lavanasur...in Tretayug...there is one cave ...called Lavansur-gufa....where he used to kill animals etc....for breakfast many elephants, lions,deers just for breakfast.....so residents there were afraid of Lavansura...he was disturbing Yajna(scarifies) ...So Lord Sri Rama sent Shatrugna there & Lord Shatrugna killed Lavanasura ...Demigods showered the flowers........
The word Mathura oringiating from Madhura....
Lord appeared in Satya yug for DM, Lord Shatrugna in Treta , Lord Krishna in Dwapar , Chaitanya mahaprabhu in kaliyug,,, so association of Lord to that forest is in all ages....
Go & take bath in Kalindi river....seat properly( Yam niyam aasasan pranayam dhyan ...this astang method )
Pranondriya mano malam …..........guruh
Clarify the heart …..(Ear's food is words, skin's food is touch, Eye's food is scene, of Nose's
is smell ) when such material food reaches to senses in turn reaches heart...and spoils the purity of heart
dhyayato visayan pumsah sangas tesupajayate sangat sanjayate kamah kamat krodho 'bhijayate
krodhad bhavati sammohah
sammohat smrti-vibhramah
smrti-bhramsad buddhi-naso
buddhi-nasat pranasyati (B.G. 2.62-63)
As we heard yesterday Adharma originated from back of Brahma
So all material subject of World is door to hell
So NM saying “Prati-ahar” don't let senses of food....”indriyanigrah”-doesn't mean we should close eye, seal the mouth, this is not procedure......just change the subjects of senses from Mundane world to Lord.........just replace Maya with Bhagvan...
so now our subject will be only Lord. His BG...don't stop listening..but listen to the lord...
“Gita bhagvat karti shravan akhanda chintan Vithobache....”
In pandharpur....not only Darshan..but you can touch his feet with even forehead...once devotees used to hug Vithal...but now its not allowed there...but still u can touch him....thus Lord can be made as subject of Senses like playing instrument in Kirtan, cleaning of temple, smelling of flowers offered to lord...four kumaras...just smelled that and KC revoked in them.....
“Sunasam subhravam..charu kapol …....”
Narad Muni will describe the beauty of Lord....he has personally seen the Lord...now he will explain in detail of Lord..which will attract heart.....
Today Jhulan Yatra festival will take place here....Radha Kunja Bihari came...Radha Kunja bihari ki jay !!
Lord gives us opportunity to see him in the form of deity
In Shravan .Radha Krishna take swing along with Gopis
Radha Krishna Pran mor Jugal Kishor...............
Radha Krishna is my Life...this pair of Kishor-kishori
I wish to apply sandal to them …
Lalita & Vishakha r busy in Seva ...so whren I will reach there whatever they will instruct me I will do that service for Lord....
This Song is contemplating of Lord, his pastimes, his beauty and seva to them....
(to be continued..........)
HH Lokanath swami Maharaj ki Jay !!
Bhagvad- Katha @ Pune
Excerpt : 1st Day Katha
Hare Krishna....Hari bol !!
“We r not tired !! Contnue continue with Katha ..“the sages in Nimisharanya says (Vayam tu na vitripyama uttamasloka vikrame Yat shrinwatam rasa jnanam swadu swadu pade pade)
Happy Christmas to U ! All glories to Jesus Christ..he is significant devotee of Lord
I heartily welcome u all...its nice to meet you..
Each one of you is a special devotee of Lord...what else can be ur better identity than this !!
Manushyanam sahastresu kaschit asti siddhye....600 to 700 cr ppl only few r fortunate
Udhav wants to go with Lord back to Godhead….so Lord said I ll to reside with u in the form of SB
Kaliyug arrived as soon as Lord Left...(Shyam taktva swadham …...tad dina kali )
Kalou nashta dasham esha....from that day ppl become blind (ignorant) ...Hence sun of SB rised to give us vision to know 'the self' as well as Lord....
When Katha enters in ears...and when it reaches to heart....we can smell Lotus feet of Lord....we can touch Lord...see Lord....
Shrunvanti Gayanti Ghrunvanti Sadhavah....(who hears, sings, Accept Katha all r sadhus )
SB is amal puran ( the passion, ignorance are mala(stool)....)
SB is history its not any mythology (but fact) , to be known, sacred, & which uproots the Tapa-traya (3 fold miseries). Its a boon for mankind..Sukadeva whirled for vedas (like curd) & the butter is SB..and that tasted by King Parikshit first ..all important ppl gathered there like U ...U too r important bcoz u r of Lord...
Four kumaras completed once Katha...for Sons of Bhaktidevi in Haridwar....Lord appeared there..he has promised it too .(yatra mam bhakta gayanti, tatra tishtami naradah)
When Gopis recited Gopigeet Lord appered....
Listen about Krishna..u will get familiar to him...will get aware of ur relation with Lord...Krishnaprem & Krishna in turn
Love thee Lord...with all thee Heart .(said in Bible)
Lord is mine of all Rasa (tastes) ..
We r entering in Fourth canto ...of Lord this Year …..
4 canto 8th Chapter....Dhruvacharitra
SP wrote SB in Eng...& wrote purport on every verse of Dhruva Charitra & presented the concept....(sidhanta baliya na kari alas...)
What I learned from SP today I m reciprocating among u all....
Dhruva M was from Vithur (near Kanpur)...Maitrey muni reciting it to Vidur....
maitreya uvaca:
sanakadya naradas ca rbhur hamso runir yatih naite grhan brahma-suta hy avasann urdhva-retasah
we all r descendants of Brahma....
The four great Kumara sages headed by Sanaka, as well as Narada, Rbhu, Hamsa, Aruni and Yati, all sons of Brahma. They never stayed in home...means they were celibate...So no question about their race.
Ther r also sons of Brahma who were householders like Prajapati, svyambhu manu
Brahma originated from Lord himself ...so Svayambhu...& his son was svyambhu manu...his sons were uthanpad & Priyavat living at Vithur
The race of Adharma....many sons got born from front of Lord....but Adharma got born from back of Lord...& he got married with Amusha (the lie) ...they gave birth Dambha & Maya ...and Dambha & Maya got married with each other....(it can be possible in the area of Adharma only ) then Lobha (Greed) & Nikrti (cunning)
Kali & Durukti (Harsh Speech) got born from them …..Bhaya(fear ) & Mrutu (dead) then followed....
Brhama created this Fear & Death...so this too belongs in his creation
Yatan ( sufferings ) & Niray ( hell) got born …..afterwards this is clan of Adharma...
By hearing this be alert !!
In this world both Dharma & Adharma exist....now its duty of Wise man to differentiate among these....and surrender to Lord is the ultimate Dharma...
Kali is personified...King Parikshit found him...Kali was torturing cow...But when King Parikshit moved ahead to kill him...Kali begged for mercy & place for him...then King Parikshit forgave him (as he was submittted) ...four places wr adharma...there Kali resides...1) dutyam (gambling) 2) panam (liquor drinking smoking even tea drinking) 3) Suna (meat eating) 4) Striya ( illicit sex)
In ISKCON Srila Prabhupad (SP)....warned every one to boycott..these places of Adharma...
In scriptures There r does & don'ts !! In ISKCON two main vows...1) I will not entertain these 4 places of Adharma 2) will chant hoyname (its the does)
thus we get purified by these principle following....
Mankind came from Manu …..from Manu two sons & 3 doughters.
These two sons hwere with slight strenght of Vaasudev ...to protect (Kshata trayate iti Kshatriya )
Two wives of Utthanpad 1) suruchi 2) Suniti
But Suruchi was dearer to King
Once king was loving Uttam (son of Suruchi )....& Dhruva was there …...Its natural Dhruva Maharaj thought “Me too! Take me too !!” to seat in lap of King..
But King wasn't so...Suruchi was there ...& she said too much, “ No no ..no u don't deserve so!! “
Dhruva might hv asked “ Why not me ?”
She said , “ Because u didn't come from my womb...so don't hv right … u r kid...u will not understand this all............ but its impossible for you ...if you wish go & perform austerity of Lord ..then Lord will giv u birth through my womb...then only you can seat there”
Hearing the bitter words of step Mother...hurted the child most...he was by blood Kshatriya (worrier)...he became angry...as a snake become after beaten by a rod....
He approached to Suniti ...crying ..but was unable to say anything due to grief...
knowing this all she become depressed & preached her son..( Mother & Father is Adi-Guru) so teaching her son...Suniti is Shiksha Guru ( Suruchi also given him indication about Lord so she too acted as Vartma Pradarshak Guru)
Don't think bad about ur step Mother...one who gives suffering to others it comes back to one after completing cycle...think 'Sarve sukhinah santi”
The thought of welfare of other...is the teaching of our Scriptures...
Two types of disesae 1) Adhi (in Mind) 2) Vyadhi (in body)
Out of 5 ppl 2 (40%) r fit for mental hospital...as per latest research in America
In the opening of one hospital...I prayed there “ Sarve sukhinah santu...” Then Dr. said u prayed all should be fit...what will happen to our hospital then ?? (laughter)
Suniti continued, “ ur step mother told the truth. ..to worship supreme personality ...its the ultimate truth ..u must accept tht...even if 'touch-stone' kept in dust bin one will immediately lift it...so take good where ever u get ..she said the concept for ur good ”
austerity r of three types....
Worship Lord 'Adhokshaja ' (one who is above the senses )
atah sri-krsna-namadi na bhaved grahyam indriyaih (CC Madhya 17.136)
SP writes, “blunt material senses...can never see, smell, hear Lord... “
Kararvinde na padarvindam mukhar vinde vinve shayantam vatasya patrasya pute shayanam balam mukundam mansa smarami
He was licking his toe...thinking it must be sweet...as all devotees worship..it so to experience it ! Did u see that pic of Lord ?
When Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was in Jaganntha Puri ...at night Mahaprabhu is searching Lord in moon light...he was smelling...from where the smell is coming (from body of lord) ...he keep running at different directions with smell..to search the Lord...chanting & dancing with holy-name.......
So worship lord if u wish the place like ur step brother........Suniti continued.
He inquired is there any success story ...mother replied with the example of Brahma...Brahma performed austerity for 1000 heavenly years....(divine austerity purifies of our consciousness....) then Brahmaji could shake hand with Lord & got boon ….the adobe of Brahma Satyalok even above heaven ...sages bow down for that.
Thus Brahma got the highest place .
So surrender to only to that Lord...
in 18th Ch of BG Lord says “ Tvam eva sharnam gaccha....” & at last he says “Mam ekam sharnam vraj“
Suniti said ...Lord is compassionate...!! Lord Narsimha Dev is also compassionate....!! came for Prahalad Maharaj & was licking Prahlad with his tongue...due to Love.
“bhaja hu re mana shri nand nandan ...abhay charnarvinda re......”
This human birth is rare ….so spend it in Satsanga....this Katha is also Satsang.
Always remember …..the world is not eternal....
in world u get happiness...but its temporary....
Life is like drop on leaf of lotus...
So Dhruva Maharaj left Vithur immediately and reached in a forest...whre he would meet Naradmuni....
In that meeting..in Vrindavan...and remaining teaching we will see tomorrow...
Today we will do Kirtan...as per instructed...its best thing in kaliyug
Nama nache jiva nache....nache Premdhan & then Kaliyug run away from ....
(to be continued.......)
HH Lokanath Swami Maharaj ki Jay !!
