0:34we are all inspired to do anything only
0:37by seeing the result so there are
0:40glorious results of following this
0:43kartia Masa or the month of kartia in
0:47this verse of bhagavat Gita Lord SRI
0:50Krishna is saying what is the ultimate
0:53goal of our
0:57life always think think of Krishna and
1:01become his pure devote that is the only
1:06goal of our life and then Krishna says
1:10in this way you will come to
1:13me going back to Krishna is considered
1:18as the greatest success of one's life in
1:22fact that is the only goal of our life
1:26why we exist why we have taken birth in
1:31order to make this happen Krishna makes
1:36so many arrangements for
1:39us to make what
1:42happen to make us go back to
1:46Krishna to make us become pure devotees
1:49of Krishna what is the meaning of
1:51becoming a devote of Krishna it means
1:54that you develop love for
1:58Krishna when you develop pure love for
2:01Krishna it is the meaning of becoming a
2:04devotee of
2:06Krishna and when you develop so much
2:09love it is very natural you feel like
2:14being with that
2:16person when you love anybody you always
2:19feel like being with that person
2:22spending rest of your life with that
2:24person that's very very natural we can
2:27see that even in the material life
2:30even in the material world when people
2:33fall in love with one another they feel
2:36like spending all the time with that
2:39person like mother she loves the child
2:43and she likes the child is always with
2:47her or a grownup man or a woman loves
2:53somebody and feels that oh most of the
2:56time should be with that person so like
2:59that when we we develop
3:01intense and pure love for God for
3:05Krishna we naturally feel like we should
3:08be with Krishna and that is what going
3:11to Krishna and being with Krishna and
3:14Krishna says if you always think of
3:18me if you become my devotee then you
3:21will come to me because that's very
3:23natural and this is true this is not
3:26some fake news not that politician Mak
3:29some promise and they never fulfill that
3:31so Krishna is
3:35saying God is making promise that this
3:38is true this will
3:40happen and what is the result of going
3:42to Krishna being with
3:44Krishna
3:58an
4:02Goa if you stay with Krishna in the Goa
4:06Goa is the name of the place where Lord
4:07Krishna stays it is also called waun
4:10it's also called vavana so if you go and
4:13be with Krishna
4:15[Music]
4:20an every second what is your experience
4:25anasa an chinay rasa everybody wants to
4:29be happy every second and that is
4:32actually possible when you go to goloka
4:35and when you are with
4:37Krishna so Krishna is saying why are you
4:40in this material world and suffering
4:47J you are continuously taking birth
4:51sometimes you're taking birth in some
4:53slum sometimes you're taking birth in
4:55some better place sometimes as animal
4:58sometime somebody comes and kills you
5:00you become animal don't think it's very
5:02nice nowadays nonvegetarian is
5:05increasing everywhere so they'll anytime
5:07may cut oh you may say oh no only
5:10chicken and something else no every
5:12animal is being eaten nowadays so there
5:14is no safety so taking birth forget
5:17about animal even if you're a human
5:19being your own mother may abort you in
5:21your in the home so there's no guarantee
5:25so JMA M
5:28death vadi diseases continuously one
5:32after other one after other some
5:34diseases will come old age will come
5:36Krishna is saying why you want all those
5:38things your original place is with me
5:41come to me be with me let's
5:46enjoyin every second every moment let's
5:50celebrate our life in the spiritual
5:52world this is krishna's invitation he's
5:54not only just giving invitation he's
5:56also making all arrangements for that
5:59and that is because Krishna is
6:01unlimitedly
6:03merciful somebody just gives you
6:05invitation but somebody also say I'll
6:08give you invitation I'll also book a
6:09vehicle for you to come to my place oh
6:13you say that they are very serious
6:15sometime people just come and give
6:17invitation like that they'll go nice
6:21they give invitation but somebody is
6:22saying I will make arrangement I'll Book
6:27vehicle and I'll also make food
6:30Arrangement on the way I'll make all
6:33Arrangement then you say oh this person
6:35is very serious he really wants me to
6:37come so Krishna is like that he's not
6:39simply saying all of us please come to
6:42goloka and all of you be with me and he
6:44didn't disappear he is making
6:46innumerable
6:48arrangements so many
6:52arrangements and each arrangement is
6:54better than another
6:56Arrangement you may say oh what
6:58arrangement have you made
7:00and somebody says I booked a train
7:01ticket for you which ticket sleeper
7:03class no no I'm not interested first of
7:05all that person is M ticket book and
7:08after that you are finding some fault he
7:10says okay fine I'll make you AC ticket
7:13then you may say what AC ticket I don't
7:15want to come by train then somebody says
7:17okay I'll book flight ticket for you oh
7:19I don't want to come the flight that so
7:21many people I'll book a charted flight
7:23for you special flight for you that
7:26means that person is really serious that
7:29you should come so Krishna is making all
7:32such
7:33Arrangements first and foremost he's
7:36giving human life human life is what
7:40it's a charted
7:42flight what is human life charted flight
7:47not some ordinary flight not some
7:49ordinary vehicle all this animal all
7:52that is that is like some you know Goods
7:55train it's not very good arrangement oh
7:58I have to to go in some cargo ship goods
8:01train no no so Krishna has given human
8:06life which is like a charted flight
8:09specially designed for
8:11you and then that to what kind of
8:15human body in the human body where our
8:19eyes are capable of seeing we are not
8:21born blind our ears are working we can
8:25hear our nose are working tongue is
8:29completely working my hands and legs are
8:31working everything is working such kind
8:34of human body God has given to me so
8:37that I can use all this I can use my
8:40eyes to see the Lord I can use my ears
8:43to hear the glories of Lord I can use my
8:46tongue to chant the names of the Lord I
8:48can use my nose to smell the fragrance
8:51of the Lord's Garland use my hands legs
8:54to do Savor to the Lord in that way we
8:56can go back to God and think of God
8:59but somebody say oh this much
9:01Arrangement is not enough for
9:03me not enough then Krishna says I will
9:07make arrangement called devote
9:11Association there are people who are
9:14already doing this on the way so you
9:18don't have to what is the speciality of
9:20the devote Association on your own you
9:23have to put lot of efforts but when you
9:25are together with like-minded people you
9:28put less effort and get the same result
9:31so Krishna is saying I will give you
9:34bhas Association of
9:37devotees like when we get up early in
9:39the morning from morning we are chanting
9:41and nicely we are singing and dancing
9:43after that when we go out prasadam is
9:45ready so it's not like after the class
9:47we announced okay all of you now make
9:49your own
9:50breakfast no when we go out already
9:52prasadam is ready somebody has cooked
9:54somebody has done so much
9:57Arrangement so just see this Krishna is
10:00saying I made devote
10:02Association then Krishna says I made so
10:06many temples and in that Temple I have
10:08appeared as araara the dees simply by
10:12looking at the dees singing in front of
10:14the
10:16dees like Krishna says in the ADI purana
10:20that anybody who loudly chants my name
10:23and dance and sing in front of the
10:27DS I sell myself self to such a person
10:30like which you all did just now we sang
10:33and we danced and we jumped and we
10:35shouted Haribo har Krishna and Krishna
10:38says to such person I will sell myself
10:42to such a person so Lord is very serious
10:45to take us back and then Krishna says
10:48okay everybody is not very active and
10:51enthusiastic to come to temple they're
10:52all sleeping in the house so Krishna
10:55says okay I will come as Haram in the
10:58Haram
10:59Incarnation wherever you are there you
11:01can chant my name see how many
11:04Arrangements Krishna is making to take
11:07us back to
11:08goloka and then Krishna is not satisfied
11:12making this many Arrangement he says
11:14I'll come as because every day three
11:16times you are eating you may say oh you
11:23know oh what to do Krishna is very
11:26serious to take you he's saying that
11:28okay chant my names but you may say I
11:30forgot to chant
11:32today sometimes people say time where is
11:35the time I forgot and all the Krishna
11:38says something that you don't forget
11:40only what is that three times you're
11:42eating we never forget that Krishna says
11:45I will incarnate as Maha
11:47prasadam I'll come as Maha prasadam you
11:51just take Maha prasadam which anyway you
11:54are to do every day and you you can
11:57actually get the blessing
12:00so what to do and then Krishna again is
12:04saying okay more Arrangements I'll make
12:07what is that more Arrangement so Krishna
12:09started incarnating as Titi Titi means
12:12the days he came
12:15asash he said that oh so much of Papa
12:19Karma you have done because of which you
12:21are forgetting me you're not getting
12:23attracted to me I'll come as aad and
12:27simply that aad Titi one day in a 15
12:31days you know every day you may not be
12:33able to remember me one day in 15 days
12:36you just you know chant and you know
12:38take only non-rain prasadam I will bless
12:41you and then Krishna came as jashi Titi
12:45he said some people say that I can't do
12:47akadashi so Krishna said okay one
12:50akadashi you do sorry one janmashtami
12:54you do one janmashtami is equal to all
12:58the akadashi of kuga all the akadashi of
13:02dwapar Yuga all the akadashi of tra Yuga
13:06all the akadashi of Satya Yuga if you
13:09count it becomes 20 CR 20 CR akadashi
13:14result you will get simply if you do one
13:16janash Titi can you imagine how much
13:20Arrangement Krishna is making so that we
13:23think of him and we go back to him
13:25janash and Krishna is still not
13:27satisfied so sometimes TI comes and goes
13:30and we miss it so Krishna says I'll come
13:32as a month so that you know whole month
13:35you will not be able to miss it forget
13:38it so Krishna comes as purushotam he
13:41incarnates as a month
13:45puras but unfortunately puras comes once
13:48in 3 years four years so Krishna wants
13:52to make even more arrangement for that
13:54so for that Krishna has made the
13:56arrangement of kikama M kikas it's
14:01krishna's
14:04unparallel expression of
14:06Compassion Care concern and love for all
14:11undeserving people lazy people
14:15unenthusiastic people like
14:18us Krishna is more eager to take us then
14:23we want to go back Krishna is more eager
14:27to be with do in gooka in viun then we
14:31want to be with him so he makes
14:33innumerable
14:35Arrangements he appears as holy Dam he
14:38appears as holy
14:40rivers and he appears as Masa and one of
14:45such unlimited compassion of Lord
14:48Krishna is kikam Masa it is also called
14:53damodar
14:55Masa and that month is just beginning
14:58beginning from today and if you are
15:00aware of this greatness how Krishna has
15:04made this time just for me I've already
15:07got human
15:09life and in that human body everything
15:11is all right Krishna has given me
15:14bhagavat Gita bhagavatam Krishna has
15:16given me har Krishna Mantra Krishna has
15:18given me devote Association Krishna has
15:20given me prasadam Krishna has given
15:22Temple he has given so many Arrangement
15:25I've got Guru sh prad in my life so so
15:28many Arrangement and now this kikas I
15:31should not waste this time because it is
15:33specially made for me made for me if I
15:37become lazy how unfortunate it is we
15:40should take full advantage of this month
15:43Kika month what is this kartia month
15:47this name ktia during this time comes
15:51because of two reasons one is
15:53astronomical reasons another one is
15:56godia vnav reasons what is astronomical
15:59reason according to astronomy according
16:02to the the movement the travel of the
16:05Moon you know Moon keeps revolving
16:08around the earth so when the moon is
16:11revolving around the
16:13earth so the moon has many
16:16phases one of the phase of the moon is
16:18called Pima other one is called Amasia
16:21so when you calculate the month from
16:24Pima to Pima that is called Pim system
16:29of the month so when the moon is rising
16:32in the sky on the Pima day which is a
16:36predominant nakshatra in the sky in that
16:40particular part of the sky and that name
16:44of the nakshatra is given for the entire
16:46month so during this time when the moon
16:50is rising in the sky at night on the
16:54paima day ktia nakshatra is a
16:57predominant
16:59nakshatra and so it is called ktia Masa
17:04this is an astronomical reason but what
17:07is a devotional reason the devotional
17:10reason is Krishna says in shrimat
17:14bhagavatam and bhagavat Gita ADI purana
17:17many many plays that he has sold himself
17:23to his devotees Krishna says that I'm
17:26controlled by my devotees he's
17:28controlled by his
17:32devotees in in damoda song that we sing
17:36there also we see that Krishna was bound
17:39by mother Yoda nobody can bind Krishna
17:42catch Krishna capture Krishna but biti
17:46devotion can capture him so Krishna
17:49comes under the control of his devotees
17:51so that is
17:52why it is said
17:55biti brings Krishna under the control
17:59you want to control somebody or to use
18:02power your position sometimes so many
18:05other things how do you control an
18:07animal you control an animal by showing
18:09a stick or sometimes the rope and so
18:11many things but how do you control the
18:13Supreme Lord you cannot control he's
18:16uncontrolled but such Supreme control
18:19Krishna iswar par Krishna is ready to
18:23come under the control if you love him
18:26love or devotion is the only thing that
18:29brings Krishna under the control so
18:31among all types of devotees who possess
18:36love for Krishna the one who possess
18:39unlimited pure love for Krishna is
18:42shrimati radharani she's the
18:45topmost devote of Lord SRI Krishna who
18:49has unlimited
18:52unparallel pure love for Krishna and she
18:57can unlimitedly control Krishna because
18:59of her
19:00love and her name radharani's one of the
19:05name is
19:07kartia because she is the daughter of
19:11mother radharani's mother is called ktia
19:16kti radharani's mother name is
19:19ktia and as a daughter of kti so she's
19:23called
19:25ktia and this month
19:29is dedicated to shrimati
19:32radharani that is why this is called
19:35ktia Masa and it is called ktia
19:39Vata and the name of this ktia Vata is
19:43called
19:45Ur
19:47urja what is the meaning of urja anyone
19:50knows
19:52energy the highest energy of
19:57Krishna
20:03Krishna has got so many
20:06energies samit
20:08shini
20:10shini Shi among all types of shi the
20:15topmost sh is aladini sh this B Shi and
20:20that is shrimati
20:22radharani and anybody does this ktia
20:25Vata this next 30 days they get the same
20:30sh
20:32sh the sh sh that attracts
20:38Krishna that is possible only in this
20:41kartika Masa very
20:43easily that is a speciality radharani
20:47she blesses she grants that Ur Shi to to
20:52her
20:53devotees that is why the vnas don't miss
20:56this kikam Masa
20:58see they're not asking for a job they're
21:01not asking for some property they're not
21:03Desiring some elevation in the material
21:08life like this what they want is Krishna
21:11we want you Krishna we want your love
21:14but how to get that you can get that by
21:17doing
21:18K
21:20orur so in this Kika we do Ur or
21:25k that is for the pleasure of shrimati
21:28radharani and for the pleasure of damoda
21:32Krishna who is also called damoda in
21:35this month called damodar Masa or kartia
21:39Masa it's very special radharani is the
21:43complete inch charge of this month and
21:47only she can give that kind of bti to us
21:50that attracts
21:52Krishna so Kish this is one of
21:55krishna's unparallel compassion fion
21:58arrangement for us to think of Krishna
22:02to remember
22:03Krishna so that we develop love for
22:06Krishna attraction to Krishna and so
22:09that we go back to Krishna and be with
22:12Krishna it's krishna's own arrangement
22:15for
22:17us ktia Masa and what is the speciality
22:22of this kartia Masa in this month
22:25Krishna has performed many
22:28beautiful attractive
22:31leelas many attractive leelas and one of
22:35such very beautiful Leela that Krishna
22:37performed was damoda
22:41Leela damoda Leela Krishna running away
22:46from Yoda after breaking the pots butter
22:50pots and Yoda was chasing
22:53Krishna and finally she was able to
22:56catch Krishna because Krishna decided to
22:58get caught and then she was able to bind
23:01Krishna because Krishna decided to get
23:03Bound by the love of yesoda and that
23:07beautiful Leela happened on the
23:10deepavali day you know the deepavali why
23:13deepawali so special because on deepali
23:16day yesoda caught Krishna and bound him
23:20the damoda happened on deepavali
23:25day on the same next day of the aali
23:28after few years when damodar Lea
23:30happened Krishna was very small and when
23:33Krishna grew little big and then on the
23:37same this kti Masa Krishna lifted goana
23:42Hill Krishna lifted
23:46go and he was looking at yesod and telli
23:50one day you thought I'm too small I I
23:53thought you thought I'll break only pots
23:55see today what I broken I lifted go Hill

24:02Kaya so Krishna performed D Lea and
24:07Goa in this
24:10month shat Pima yesterday there was

24:18because the sharat rutu begins from
24:21yesterday samatar or
24:24year has six rutu rutu means a season
24:29season is called rutu so there are six
24:32seasons in a

28:10happiness you know in movies you see the
28:13moment the hero heroine are happy they
28:15suddenly start dancing and there is a
28:18song because the happiness is expressed

29:23Krishna and when they were searching for
29:26Krishna they offered an extraordinary
29:29prayer in shrimat bhagavatam that prayer
29:33is documented what is that prayer Gopi

33:28Krishna then they started speaking about
33:30Krishna Krishna did like this Krishna
33:32did like that Krishna was stealing
33:34butter Krishna killed Pana and one
33:37became one one of the gopies became Pana

34:04your your activities your stories them
34:07itself can save our
34:13life all the kalasha in our heart will
34:16go away so that was a prayer that was
34:19offered by gopies and shat Pima night so
34:22it is recommended in the Kik Masa in all
34:25the temples in vavan they recite the
34:28Gopi Gita all the 30 days in the
34:31evenings this is a speciality because
34:34that was offered during this time so the
34:36Gopi Gita is recited during the kartika
34:39Masa to pray to all the gopikas and to
34:42pray to shrimati radharani to grant us
34:45such intense
34:47bti this is how one of the kikam Masa is
34:51observed and then damoda because Krishna
34:54was bound his belly was bound with the
34:57robe so he got the name damoda so this
35:00month is also called damoda Masa because
35:03Krishna did that
35:05Leela Gohan Leela and another very
35:08interesting Leela what is that Krishna
35:12manifesting
35:14radhaa in the same kti Masa bahul
35:18Asami bahul Asami is a day on which the
35:23the love Pond of Radha and Krishna which
35:25is the topmost place in the spiritual
35:27World appeared here radhakund appeared
35:31in the
35:32karasa so damoda Gohan Lea bahul Asami
35:37that is radak K's appearance day and
35:40Gopi Gita manifested the gopikas offered
35:43this prayers in this karik this month is
35:46filled with of Madura bti and that
35:50intense unalloyed pure devotion biti
35:54that is why this called Ur that shy that
35:57bti shy can be granted to even us people
36:01like us if you simply follow this kikam
36:05Masa just see this and the end of the
36:08last five days of ktia Masa are very
36:11special because it is called bishma
36:14panchaka it's called bishma panchaka
36:17pcha means five the five days the last
36:20five days of Kik Masa bisha he performed
36:25this gor
36:27yeah for what what he wanted he wanted
36:32my Lord when I'm dying I should be able
36:34to think of you I should be able to
36:36remember you and who is doing this
36:39bishma is doing actually it's very
36:41interesting bishma had on some special
36:43blessings what is that special blessing
36:46he can die whenever he
36:49wants not like us we don't know when we
36:51will die we don't know where we will die
36:54we don't know how we will die so we have
36:57to do that bishma panchaka but bishma
37:00you know he's a great achara bishara and
37:03he's a great devotees is a mahab
37:05bhagavata he's setting an example to all
37:07of us what is the most important thing
37:10in bhagavat Gita Krishna
37:16says Krishna says at the time of death
37:18you should remember
37:21me and shat bhat
37:25says you have to think of Krishna at the
37:28time of death but how to get that
37:30remembrance of Lord Krishna at the time
37:33of death last five days of ktia Masa
37:37there is a Vata called bishma panchak
37:40Vata and bishma himself did this in
37:43Satya Yuga garara did this the last five
37:47days and begged the Lord my Lord please
37:50grant me your loving memory at the time
37:53of my last
37:55breath
37:57and in
38:00tra Ina was Rishi did this bishma Paka
38:05and Ina bishma himself did it so in
38:09Kaluga they setting example last five
38:12days chant more number of rounds
38:14remember the Lord and pray to the Lord
38:17that Lord we should be able to remember
38:20you because that's the ultimate
38:22instruction of
38:24Krishna remember me especially at the
38:27time of death to remember Krishna at the
38:29time of death you must prepare for that
38:33and one of the wonderful preparation is
38:36this kartika
38:39Masa so uh this ktia Masa got the name
38:43kartia because of radharani because
38:46kartia is radharani's name and this is
38:50also called uramasa because radharani's
38:53another name is urari because she gives
38:56that topmost shti bti Shakti or one of
38:59the names is urari she gives urja that
39:03is why this is also called urjas and
39:06urj and in this month Krishna performed
39:10the most beautiful loving past time of
39:13damoda Leela gohana Leela radhakund
39:17Leela bahul Asami and then bishma
39:22panchak and prad tioa they all come in
39:26this month so this month is an
39:28extraordinary now what do we do how do
39:30we do this what is that one has to uh do
39:34in this uh month right so the most
39:37important thing what we have to do
39:40is we have to take the
39:43pledge we to come before the Lord and we
39:46are to offer Pray My Lord for your
39:49happiness to get your love to develop
39:53your love and to earn your love
39:57I want to follow this kikam Masa please
40:00give me shti so that next 30 days I'm
40:03able to follow and complete it for your
40:05happiness to get your biti please this
40:09is called sankalpa so one has to take
40:13that
40:14Salpa and so um the purpose is
40:25this
40:33for your preti for your satisfaction for
40:36your happiness and to get your love I
40:40want to do ktia
40:44[Music]
40:46this means doing following I want to
40:49follow
40:55this
40:57D for you for your happiness I want to
41:01follow this right so this is the purpose
41:05and then who should do this is it meant
41:08because every V is not meant for
41:11everybody some vatas are meant for some
41:14people but this V is meant for everybody
41:17and here in Padma vasad is
41:25saying
41:34[Music]
41:35who can do and what is the result of
41:37that Bala Bala means what small children
41:43some vatas small children they don't
41:45have to do but here this Kika even small
41:49children can do that means we are to
41:51encourage if there are any small
41:52children at home we must encourage them
41:54to do this karikas
41:58B even even girls women there are some
42:03vas only women will do there are some
42:05vatas men will do but this Vata children
42:09can do young boys can do young girls can
42:12do tuni VHA VHA VHA means old people
42:17even old people can do sometimes some
42:20old people are given exemption from
42:22samatas but this even they can do Nar
42:27nari man can do woman can
42:31do you know nowadays there's a lot of
42:33talk about lgbtq and all that even all
42:36of them can
42:40do you will get rid of all kinds of
42:46papas there's so many varieties of papas
42:49all that Papa we can come out of this
42:51simply take
42:54bath see taking bath bath is very common
42:57activity but Krishna is saying in the
43:00Kika if you take bath also you will get
43:03result look at his
43:06arrangement taking bath is not very
43:09something that extraordinary activity
43:11right but Krishna is saying vasad is
43:16saying in this
43:19Kika ktia and maam Masa you take this
43:23snana everyday
43:24morning just just take that you'll get
43:27all the sinful reactions
43:34cleared whatever devotional desires you
43:37got devotional desire all those
43:40devotional desires will be fulfilled so
43:43this is how who can do and what can be
43:45done and then what should we do what
43:49should we do in
43:55this
43:57in this K Masa first thing that we
44:00should do is every day morning Before
44:04Sunrise we have to take bath when should
44:07we take bath before Before Sunrise we
44:11have to take bath that is the first
44:13thing that we are to do and then second
44:15thing is
44:17jendri one has to practice brahmacharya
44:21in this Kika Masa one has to stay away
44:24from all the
44:27distractions stay away from all the
44:30distraction in the Kika Masa so that
44:34your mind is not allured it's not
44:37distracted so
44:40J ja you are to increase your
44:46japa so anyway those who are not yet
44:49started chanting har Krishna Mantra this
44:51is the best time to start chanting H
44:54Krishna Mantra those are already
44:56chanting har Krishna Mantra you have to
44:58increase those who are chanting one make
45:01it two those who are chanting two make
45:02it four 48 8 16 you increase it 1632 you
45:07have to increase because japa has lot of
45:10importance in the urj or this Kik
45:14Japan as much as possible keep chanting
45:18keep
45:18chanting so there is one very
45:21interesting
45:22story once there was one man very lazy
45:26man so narad monei was very
45:29compassionate wanted to help and bless
45:31that man he goes to that man and say
45:33what don't you chant he says narad monei
45:36you don't have any work you keep roaming
45:38around so you chant I'm very busy man I
45:41don't have time to chant it's very sad
45:43that people think like this so nari said
45:47okay so he nari gave so many
45:50options but he said no no I don't have
45:53time I don't have time like this so nari
45:55said why don't you chant while taking
45:58bath so that man said yeah while do
46:01while taking bath maybe I can consider
46:04and like that so Nar said do one thing
46:06you chant ra chant during the um taking
46:10bath he said but I'm taking bath in a
46:13bathroom it's not a very clean place he
46:14said okay n said that's fine chant so he
46:17was
46:19chanting like this and then once Hanuman
46:22was flying over the sky and Hanuman
46:25heard rah ra and immediately you know
46:27wherever Ram name is there Hanan is
46:29there Hanan immediately got attracted so
46:31when he comes down and sees there is one
46:33person chanting ra holy name in the
46:35bathroom so hanaman felt little sad he
46:38was happy that he's chanting but what is
46:40this he's chanting in the bathroom you
46:42should be respectful no so he gave one
46:45slap what is this actually hanaman he's
46:49uh is doing a Leela to glorify the holy
46:52name of the Lord and then he said the
46:55chant nice l in the nice place and then
46:57Hanuman reached aodha and you know Lord
47:00Ram is sitting like this he said my Lord
47:03what happened why are you sitting like
47:04this he said you slapped him you see
47:07what happened to me I got that slapping
47:10my devotees whenever they chant however
47:13they chant wherever they chant I'm
47:15personally there you can't stop them
47:18like this so Hanuman and Rah played this
47:21Leela to glorify the holy name so please
47:25increase the japa chant the holy names
47:27in this
47:30urur Masa one has to
47:33increase if you not started chanting
47:36please start chanting it has got very
47:38big benefit
47:40Japan then Havish book book means eating
47:45from that book Sanskrit word Hindi word

47:50b means you're feeling hungry food food
47:53you

47:57only prasadam so you have to take a V at
48:01least in Kik Masa I will not eat the
48:05food which is not offered to Lord
48:07Krishna havisha book I have to take only

48:44not become
48:46angry you to take the Vata off in the
48:50Cara I will not become angry I'll remain

48:57Krishna says in bhagavat Gita that takes
49:00you towards hell hellish
49:04lifea they are the three gateways to
49:07Hell so
49:09Shanta have life in such a way that you
49:12remain peaceful internally and
49:14externally don't make others angry and
49:16you also don't get angry in this

50:10biti
50:11and first of all cotton bti but you want
50:14to make it even more extraordinary
50:16special then you have to take a Tulsi
50:18kasta kasta means the stick the Tulsi
50:22plant you see there when the Tulsi
50:24becomes dry
50:26it it will have lot of uh sticks so that
50:29is called kashta that tulasi kashta you

51:44which is the goal of our human form of
51:46life it's made for us only don't waste
51:49this time this is a very special
51:53time and if you do all the things urja
51:56you'll get that shi urata which Shi
52:00among all the shy bti is the topmost shy
52:03and that shy radharani will give us if
52:05you do this get up early in the morning
