There is a great need to propagate the Krishna consciousness movement in the world so that even though people sometimes become angry and malicious toward one another, because of their being Krishna conscious such rivalry, competition and envy can be adjusted without difficulty.

Vaishnavas do not keep anything in the heart

There is always a chance for any Vaishnava to always progress in Krishna consciousness

When we are envious, there is no room in the heart for the instructions of the good Lord. Only action and counteraction.

if we have no real sense of devotion and no real sense of the Lord's presence everywhere, then we are lacking in devotional service;

Vaishnava always practices the principle of forgive and forget

Devotional service is available to everyone, yet both Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam they give us the point that even though it is available to all, it does not mean that everyone is eligible to take it

The conclusion is that the Lord can be seen and heard by persistent chanting of the transcendental sound.

Bali Maharaja knew the secret of how he had formerly been victorious because providence was in his favor. Now, since that same providence was not in his favor, there was no possibility of his victory. Thus he very intelligently forbade his associates to fight.

But even after keeping the Deity at home, if we fail to serve Him properly, take Him for granted and speak all kinds of gramya kathaa in front of Him, then as Srimati Kunti rani says He becomes alakshyam or invisible to us.

"Therefore one who thinks himself the only doer, not considering the five factors, is certainly not very intelligent and cannot see things as they are."

To counteract the distress of this material body, one has to take on another distressed condition

"It means that to make yourself look better, don't put others down. Don't step on other people to climb up the stair-case."

You can't say that "I love my Guru, but I hate everyone else". I am sorry to say you all that it doesn't count. It doesn't count. The deal is you have to cultivate love and care for the devotees.

It took just 45 minutes for Krishna, to establish the principles of religion, by speaking Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

Grabbing tendency is always there in us and we need to have little grabbing tendency and that is for prasadam. Grabbing a bit of prasadam is acceptable. It is just a bit, little bit. But anything more is detrimental.

Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.

This is in continuation of the transcription of Srimad Bhagavatam class given by our God brother HG Devakinandan Prabhuji on the lessons we need to learn from Citraketu Maharaj. In the previous offering we heard about 9 points. Now let us continue to hear further.

"Transcendental knowledge in relation with the Supreme Lord Hari is knowledge resulting in the complete suspension of the waves and whirlpools of the material modes. Such knowledge is self-satisfying due to its being free from material attachment, and being transcendental it is approved by authorities. Who could fail to be attracted?"

This is the starting point of realisation. We have to understand that our time together is very limited. Practically, this class will go on for 10 more minutes. Very limited time together. But in life also very limited time together. So Maharaj said, "What is to be understood from this point?"

One who meditates in this way, concentrating his mind upon the all auspicious form of the Lord, is very soon freed from all material contamination

As long as the mind is not engaged in meditation on the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, the mind will desire so many material enjoyments. Sensual images are recorded in the mind in chronological order, and they become manifest one after another; therefore the living entity has to accept one body after another.

Whoever causes offenseless living beings to suffer must fear me anywhere and everywhere in the world. By curbing dishonest miscreants, one automatically benefits the offenseless.

take to devotional service without reservation

"just because your sacrifice could not hit the century, it doesn't mean that you are lost. It doesn't mean that you are frustrated. So why do you want to be agitated or anxious? In case it has happened because of providential arrangement."

Usually our rebellious mind does not want to surrender to anyone.

A devotee sees everyone and everything in relationship with Narayana. Everything is an expansion of Narayana's energy.

The Lord reciprocates in such a way that all living entities in whom the Lord is dwelling as the Supersoul also like a pure devotee because the Lord is present in their hearts and can dictate to them to be friendly to His devotee.

Lord becomes a kind of debtor to the devotees, and He can only try to repay the devotees, service with His ever-enchanting smile
