Day 11 - Mayapur Yatra

Day 11 – Nityanand Trayodashi + TOVP visit

Evening class by Gurudeva:

It was nice seeing how K was in the center of the celebration today. Once we keep K in the center then he is the abode of everyone. All we have to do and tell people in life – We are devotees of Lord K. Once we decide we are devotees of K – we become completely happy. As soon as we surrender to K we feel we are in transcendental pleasure. When we serve K, we immediately come into transcendental pleasure. We have so many reactions of our previous sins. We are debtors as soon as we are born, ex - we have an education fund waiting for us. If we completely surrender to Mukunda, we are covered we don’t have to pay anyone. Step by step by stages all the sins are eradicated. Material world is like sleeping like a man and waking up like a dog. Sins are in different stages – prarabdha, aprarapdha – different stages of sins. But if we take to KC, then the burning of sins is so fast that it will be a great relief. It’s like putting a needle through all the lotuses it’s practically like going through all of them at once.

When Lord Nityananda came he hid in the house of Nandanaaharya’s house and Mahaprabhu took him all the way to the house and said here is Lord Nityananda. Lord Nityananda went down the streets glorifying the Holy Name all around Nadiya.

Our life in KC should be such that as soon as we hear something we are able to connect the Shastra and point the connecting Shastra and sloka. That is when we are becoming an uttama adhikari – Strong faith and knows Shastra and knows how to connect them and present it to others.

LEARN SLOKAS – LEARN ALL SHASTRA to be solidly situated in KC in our life. One must not be lazy when trying to learn KC and Shastra. A siddhanta means it not only what it is but also what is not. Don’t be lazy when it comes to siddhanta. Mind becomes very fixed and determined when we have faith in K. This is how I’m fully devoted in KC =  know the science of KC with all the slokas, Shastra. Nityananda is in the same category as Mahaprabhu. He was very beautiful and his knowledge was very profound. Nityananda went out and told everyone to chant GAURANGA!

Then we sang Nadia Nagare Nitai niche niche gaye re….

Anybody who comes into the contact of Lord Nityananda also gets inspired and becomes like Nityananda Pr – just going out and distributing it to everybody.  Lord C and N were trying to market this all over the world and hence we sang the Khoda Nitai song.

Just try to get a lesha/a whiff of mercy. If we can just get a lesha/ a tiny whiff of mercy then we can understand this KC. Just pray to Lord Nityananda and chanting the Holy Name and then everything changes. If a tear comes to your eye when we chant Gaura’s name then he gives that person all intelligence.

To achieve Radha and Krsna’s love, we need mercy of Mahaprabhu and go get mercy of Mahaprabhu we need mercy of Nityananda and to get mercy of Nityananda we have to go out and preach to the Jagai’s and Madhai’s of this world. Srila BSST said to grow spiritually we have to go out to preach to everybody. When we go out to tell everybody the KC to others they meet with resistance and it’s in seeing the mystical potency in oneself going from Lord Nityananda, Chaitanya – if one surrenders to the process of distributing KC to others – books, prasadam, festivals etc – we can see how this is used as an instrument, we can also see the look on the faces of the people who get this Holy Name and think this is so exotic, mystical and what is this transcendental sound and Lord Nityananda becomes suddenly very happy and in seeing this happiness in everyone, spreading KC directly to everyone makes our body chit sharira or chid rakta. How do we get this – by knocking on doors, by giving it to everyone. They take the risk to save the most fallen people. We can’t judge the external covering of everyone. This is enlivening to the self. Those who go out and preach the message to others K says are very dear to me. Also in SB – Those who go out and preach to others they get into a Samadhi when they do that and by that Lord K, C, N become pleased and then they develop spiritual blood and spritiual body and then our chanting also becomes very strong and when we see the Holy Name on everyone’s lips we feel great bliss.
