Respected vaisnavas and gentlemen, ladies. Today I feel happiness to be with you and talk to you. You are the devotees of Lord Gauranga who appeared in 15th century in India on the banks of Ganga. Travelled extensively throughout India and preached the gospel of devotion, devotional love.

Sorry we cannot speak to you in your language. So you have to excuse us. Anyhow our Gopikantha, great devotee of yours place and he is a scholar and he translates it to you in your language.

Now, how to attain the devotional love? What is the meaning of love? Ordinarily, we know in this world love is in self entertainment. For self satisfaction we love. But regarding the love towards the Supreme Godhead. Should be dedicated first. We must dedicate ourselves to the Lord. And from whom we got the instructions and through the help of those instructions, if we follow the matter taught by Gauranga, Krishna Chaitanya. We have come here from India. Our Mission is Krishna Chaitanya Mission. Throughout India we have got our institution. And in Europe also we have got every state. Now Chaitanya Mahaprabhu says, to understand the reality and truthfulness of Godhead. What is God? And what can he do? And who is eligible to know it? These are the problems. Questions to be solved. Now, it is very good if people are anxious to know the truth. What is truth? Truth is truth. What is truth? Truth is truth! Truth has no future. Truth has no past. It has only presence. No three tenses are there. Only present. Always present. And which has no future. The rest you see, all are material, transitory. And they are only for a moment. Just our bodies were born so much, now grown up six feet, seven feet high. So much weight. And gradually we decay and we will perish. That is not our motto. Our motto is: we want that one should be eternal. There is the Creator. One who creates this whole universe. Under whose guidance we are now sitting here and talking to you. So, who is that? It is the truth. It is the most powerful. It cannot be understood to our puppy brain. Our knowledge is also limited knowledge. Strength, physical strength, limited. Mental strength ,. Intellectual strength, limited. Truth is limited sense. We cannot understand the truth. To understand the truth we have to surrender. Complete surrender. Our Bhagavat Gita, my dear friend says:

sarva dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva papebhyo moksayisyami ma sucah

"You give up the so called religion taught by human beings and you surrender to me. And surrender to me." If you are surrendered without no aim without no desires. If you follow the matter, the Lord will expose Himself. Then, when the truth is revealed to you, then you can understand what is truth. And for revealing purpose we require to submit. What is that submission? My body, my mind, my physical strength or intellectual strength - not competent to know the truth. To know the truth it is only that we should surrender. Dedicate. This body is not mine. I am not this body. Whatever organs I belong, they are not mine. And who are they? They are created. And that creation has got beginning and end. Young boy kaumaram yauvanam jara. Young boy becomes youth, and old, and gradually it decays and leaves off this world, disappears. This is the situation of the world. Whatever you think that must be: the building, the science development, lights. These were not here thousand years back. And we were not there and this cannot be there. Suppose any bombing comes. You will be lost. And we can not declare that we are permanent. We are not permanent. We are under the will of the Supreme Power. And that only through submission, nothing else. If you submit then it will be revealed. How Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu says in Kali yuga harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam kalau nasty eva nasty eva nasty eva gatir anyatha. In Kali yuga the only process is to repeat Namam. This Nama, Divine Name, why it is called Divine Name? That divinity you find in the Name. It is eternal. There is no difference between the sound and the person. Now we are person. As long as the person is speaking he cannot identify himself with the sound. Sound is different, and he is different. So, if you want to see the truth, than the sound as well as the person, both are one. If you repeat the Divine Sound: Krishna, Rama, Hari, Govinda. These are the divinity. Divine Names, you go on repeating the moment will come to you that it will be revealed to you. The sound perfectly revealed to you. In person. As a person he will give you darshan. You will see that. Then. Not before. The intelligent giants, they may discover everything of the nature. What is in the nature it can be discovered. And the greatest scientists say that there are so many things still to be reveled. It will take its own course. But those who are ignorant of science. Very little knowledge which they possess. They say no,no,no,no... What is no, no..? There is no, ever yes. The scientist will never say no. He will say yes. And if one can discover the divinity then you will find there is no difference between the sound as well as the person. It is small time or we can say that everybody says: "What is this?" "This is my hand." "Your hand? How long will you say it is your hand?" "As long as I am alive." When the life goes away there will be none to say "Oh, it is". So, that is only the ignorance. Out of ignorance and the power of the Lord, deluding potency. That deluding potency deludes this fellow. So he is great scientist, he can not understand the truth. The truth is eternal. It has no beginning and no end. Truth is always truth. I am always here, in this world. As you see that we are sitting, but the scientist will say: "No,no. You are not sitting. You are sitting on this world globe and it is moving around the Sun, fast. So you are also moving around the sun. How can you sit? How can you sit without motion?" So that should be understood properly. So, if deeply you think then you can understand the truths. You can know the truths. Wait and see. And follow the dictations of our scriptures. Or Vaidhi culture. And people who practice it to realize it. Therefore, through penance, through concentrating upon the subject. But it has got personality. That personality is not a dead one. Alive. It is always alive. We may pass away. One may go away. That personality will be always there. It has no beginning, no end. No young, no youth, no old. Always truth, truth, truth. Which has a beginning it has end. Our realized scholars of truth have established that this truth should be, should not be allowed to discuss it. With surrender, if we surrender the Lord will reveal himself. Whenever you go to a temple you see the stones or wood or a gle(?). A form of a man or a woman. How can you believe it? That it is eternal? Somebody has constructed it. How can you say that it is eternal? Yes. But if we enforce all these things to surrenders, to submit ourselves at feet of the Lord. "Oh, Lord! Oh Lord! I am the blind boy. I am helpless boy. I have no ears to hear. And I have ears - I cannot hear. I have eyes - I cannot see. So, to see, to know, to hear - Yours blessing required." When the Lord blesses you then you can understand it, and realize it. Now to understand it they have selected some mantras. Some mantras. That is, they say in vedas

om tad vishnuh paramam padam sada pashyanti suraya

All the great devotees they see always the eternity of the Supreme Power, Supreme Godhead. They always, because when their heart is pure, clean, when they have no desire except to survive.

Or to enjoy, ought to give up all the, what they are not necessary.

This sort of conception, it is the conception of the mind. It is not the conception of the divinity, the spirit. That conception is Krishna. About it is told that Krishna is the Supreme Power. Krishna is the Supreme Godhead. Krishna is so powerful. He can do, and he can undo. It is through his guide persons of this world, they do hard penance and when they control their mind, control their anger, control their malice, and control the forgetfulness, and control I and mine. Everybody says I. Who are you? I am. What are you? I am an astrologer. I am a scholar. I am the judge. So what is you duty? To give judgment? What judgment? Only it is not permanent judgment. It is only material judgment. Because in the matter you can. So, but he doesn't realize it, that I and mine. These are the two things. These are the two things. Always they deprive us to submit. Through them we never submit. No submission - no realization. Only where is submit. Helpless child, it is crying in the cradle. It has passed urine and stools. Now, there must be somebody. It cannot help. Somebody must come and help it. If somebody comes it is alright. So, that one must always think that helpless. Even the great scientists, even the great warriors and who has conquered half of this world, like Alexander the great of Macedonia. Very near to your place. When he came to India he came to know that there are so many sincere and high ranked sadhus and there "I should go and see them. And if they when anything we can help them." But when he went there, swamiji asked "Who are you?" He said:" I am, people call me Alexander the Great". "What for you have come to this part of India? What for?" "Sir, I had a desire to conquer India." "When you could not able to satisfy yourself, your desires you could not fulfill, then how can you fulfill my desire? 'What the saint wants I will see.' Then what will you give?" 'Nothing I give.' The saint says that "You could not able to fulfill your desire. How can you fulfill others desires?" There he could not understand. "I taught everything you." Because so many saints we find on the banks of Ganga, Yamuna, Sarasvati, Narmada, Sindhu, Kaveri. "Sindhu nadi, the Sindhu nadi river and you are sitting here, so anything wanted?" "I don't want anything." "You are standing before the Sun!. You please move the sunlight may fall upon me." "It is cold, cold period. Now I feel cold. The sunlight must come direct. Sun rays must right fall upon. You move little!" Than he was astonished. "I am Great. Alexander the Great. What greatness I possess? Greatness?" He went home. He gave up the desire of conquering any more. And at the time of his death he stretched his hands. Two hands and two legs. And he told "Which is the Great here? When I was born I was born with two legs and two hands. And what is the greatness now I could gather? People call me Great. What is that Great? The same two legs, same two arms. If I die I will die with the same, I came with the same, so what I possess? Nothing. It is only ignorance. Ignorance."

Now, if we really sit and devotee our time and life to a realized sadhu, a saint. Then he can inform me about my goal. About my cultivation - what shell I do - and what will he get. He must sit there, he must do the service and try to learn. It is not in one day or one month or one year he can understand. If he is sincere he must stay there as long as possible and try to learn it. So then, if the Alexander the Great in your country, he belongs to Europe. He got this name - nobody in the world could posses Great, except Alexander. But actually, he said "What is greatness in me? I don't feel." Yes. "No greatness."

Now, we are blind, we are blind of power. Power. Power. And blind. Everybody wants to be politician. Nobody wants religion. Politicians. But what happens after? Politicians, they cannot establish peace. No country you see now ever enjoys peace. In future one can not. They must come to sadhus. You will not fight sadhus who have no material desires. Who has only desire to know the spiritual. "What is that spirit? And how can I know it? And till I know it I must serve mahatma. Or a saint. As long as I get a glimpse of the light." So, if we do that then we can understand. Our Chaitanya Mahaprabhu he says all of us to repeat Namam. It is maha-mantra. Not a mantra. Mantra with om beginning, bijam - root and svaha. At the beginning, at the end: om, svaha. It is mantra. But om - svaha, no. It is called maha-mantra Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. This is the transcendental sound. This transcendental sound can be realized by one who submits to that Divine Name. Who submits. What is the submission? That "I am helpless. Oh, Lord everything belongs to you. I don't want anything. I never want power, I never want wealth, never want women and anything of this material world I don't want. I want only your blessing. Please bless me. I do not know what I can get or what will satisfy me. Really, tell the truth, what is that?" That truth is, I told you first, it is eternal. It is eternal. Truth is one. Untruth is many. Many, many. Many people, many sects, many. Ever they will, collectively, individually, they want to establish themselves. So saying they will go to wars. What the war brought us? Nothing. Now we see the war is going on. What result? Nothing. Nothing. So, we must try ourselves best to be in the ashram. In a place secluded from the havoc of this world where no, nothing of noise, you observe peace, silence, and you repeat Namam. And, it was, after submission only you can understand. Hare Krishna, Hare Rama. So it is, this is a long subject. It has no end. Our subject has no end and no beginning. It is always there. Those who submit to it they get it. Those who doesn't submit they can not get it. Understand. So it is not necessary to speak these subjects elaborately, unless they demand it. Science, from the beginning till the end you please explain. Where is your time and where is our m(?) time. But you cannot understand. Slowely. You have to believe first. You must have faith first. And then only you can cultivate it. And if you cultivate it you will get it. If not, there is no God. "You are a God, I am a God." Oh. Feelings. "But, if you say God, can you show me God?" Who can show them God? Who can show? It is not possible to show. None can show it, the God. God is not visible to all. God is visible to only to some who submits, surrenders. None else. I don't want to speak more about this subject. Our Maharaj may speak little. Our Vishnu Maharaj.
