So this is the divine, the best, so there was best music, best dance because the best dancers Radha and Krishna and gopis they were involved, there was whole team.
“brahma-ratra upavrtte, vasudevanumoditah, anicchanto yayur gopyah, sva – grham bhagavatt-priyah” (S.B 10.33.38) brahma-ratra, brahma-ratra upavrtte as long as the night of Brahma, this dance lasted, that long and then Lord brought that to closer. Even then gopis anicchanto gopis where not willing to go away. But vasudevanumoditah, Lord was pushing them, now you go, you have to go now. So finally gopyah, sva – grham yayur they returned to their respective, gopyah, sva – grham bhagavatt-priyah. The gopis are so dear to Bhagvan Sri Krishna Ghanshyam, Shyamsundar so with great reluctance they returned to their homes. So we are also very soon, I know you don’t want to go, the way you are sitting since, you are satisfied just being here. So study this section of Bhagavtam also, what we said in the beginning we also remind you at the end, ritrogam so the disease we have, heart disease, are hearts are full of desires, anarthas, lust and this is one of the best cures it counteracts. The kama, the lust is counteracted by Prem, Love, Krishna Prem, that is love. What we say in this world, I love you and all that business is not love, its lust.
Love is something divine, something great, something transcendental, love is not of this world, lust is of this world. So that lust is just a reflection, perverted reflection of that original love between. So what is at the top in the spiritual sky it appears comes to the bottom of this world, love at the top, lust at the bottom. Because this world is compared with a tree, tree on the bank of a lake. So when you see the reflection of that tree on the bank of the lake, you see that tree, you see the roots upwards and branches going downwards. What is at the top of the tree on the bank of the lake, that is at the bottom. Cure for lust is love, love of Radha and Krishna between two of them and it’s all pure, so study this Prabhupad has kindly provided Krishna book and there are commentaries and purports of all these verses in Bhagavatam, its right here. So please study and understand it’s very confidential this but if we could understand that it, that’s the end of are stay in this material existence, if we could understand this subject. So we have briefly introduced this , not that you did not know before but we have again reminded you of those pastimes and praying to the Supreme Lord that we all ripe the results, the benefits of this particular pastime of the Lord called Rasa Dance Maharasa. Those children also performed very beautiful (Maharaj asking the audience) you liked their presentation (devotees replied) Haribol (round of applause). There were some older mataji’s also who performed, so young and old everyone could participate.
Soul has nothing to do with young and old, soul is neither young nor old, man or woman or infact we are all women that is also we could understand, there is so much to understand in this topic. So only Purusha, only person, in the position of enjoying is just one and we are all meant for his pleasure, so we are to be enjoyed by him. Instead of taking the position of to be enjoyed we take the position of enjoyer that is called Maya, that’s not our position it will not work out. There is only one Purusha we are Prakriti, we are nature, parts and parcels of the Lord, meant for his pleasure. A soul what we are talking about, relationship with Purusha we are Prakriti. So we have completed 5 days, two more days to go. So tomorrow our subject matter is we will be killing few more demons ( Laughs). So Kamsa was informed by Narada Muni, Kamsa for 11 yrs he had no clue where is this Krishna and Balarama, but he was just sending demons, his reprentatives there. They were just going no one coming back; they were going with one way ticket svaha! Finished (laughter). Kamsa was dispatching them but they were not coming back (Maharaj laughs). So his stock was getting exhausted and that was the purpose, infact Kamsa did great service to Lord because Lord had appeared to annihilate the demons. So what Kamsa had done he had gone all over the world and defeated so many stalwart demons and kind of made them slaves or friends and brought all of them to his capital Mathura, right!. So he made Krishna’s job easy, there was no need for him to go looking for them all over. Kamsa was just making offerings ok! this one now, take care of this one, take care of this one (laughs).
So for 11 yrs this went on and finally Narada Muni had to inform Kamsa. You know this Nanada mMaharaj’s children Krishna and Balarama they are the one, that’s the 7th and 8th child of Vasudeva baba you understand and once he got that clue, that information then he gets ready he calls all his different ministers he had whole strategy once he knew where they were. And one of the strategy the main thing to get Krishna and Balarama over so the best person was selected and that was Akura who was a devote of Krishna, he was with Kamsa but his heart, he was devotee the servant of Krishna and Balarama. So he goes to Vrindavan riding the chariot, so how Kamsa prepares how he gets things ready for a big festival in Mathura, wrestling match, scarifies etc. he sends Akrura how Akrura goes in what mood, what consciousness. So and then the next day as he is coming with Krishna and Balarama about to live the resistant that he has to met, the protest was there, because he was taking their Krishna and Balarama away.
So again the Gopis we will come across Gopis, their feeling. So that we will deal tomorrow and then day after his Krishna and Balarama entering Mathura and finally killing of kuvalayapid that big elephant and many things he encounter, Kubja will be there , dobhi one washerman, he will not give clothes so how Krishna dealt with him. And finally Krishna and Balarama walked entered the wrestling arena, you know how they walked? They were carrying the tusk of the elephant Kuvalyapid, Krishna consciousness was meant to Krishna and Balarama, to crush them. So when Kamsa saw Krishna and Balarama with tusk and he was shaking (ha……..) (Laughter) and then so. So upto killing Kamsa both the days we will have nice drama.
So we thank for your participation.
