#00:03:43#

Srila Goswami Maharaj: So, I’ll just give a little talk now to explain something. We’re told that the soul is wandering the length and breadth of this universe. Being born many times into many different situations. All possible situations. Sometimes we think what we’re going to do with our lives. Actually, we’ve done everything imaginable. Seeking our fortune in the world. But Mahaprabhu tells Rupa Goswami,

#00:04:44#

brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva
guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja

(CC: Madhya, 19.151)

That fortunate souls having wandered the length and breadth of this universe, they come in connection with Krishna and His agent—Sri Guru. Like, it means divine agency. And what do we get from Guru? Well, it’s called, the word prasad is used, means it’s the combined mercy of Guru and Krishna. And we get bhakti-latā-bīj, means the seed of devotion, love and affection. Like here so many things are growing you see on the trees—there’s mangoes, fruits, flowers. They start off in a seed stage.

#00:06:00#

And they’re put in the soil. And then two little leaves come out. And then it starts growing and developing further. Then at one point, blossom, flower comes out. And then the flower gives way and then the fruit appears. Like the mango is of special interest. So, sweet nectarine juice comes from the mango. But there’s a process, has to be the seed, has to grow and watering. So, just like we’ve been doing. We’re having a discussion and speaking. And the seed of Krishna conception is entering your heart and consciousness. And then it begins to grow and develop. By watering the seed in the form of hearing and chanting. So, we’re told, says, Kali-kāle nāma-rūpe kṛṣṇa-avatār. There are many avatars for different ages. We’re fortunate in the Kali-yuga, that Krishna has descended in the form of His Holy Name.

#00:07:51#

In the material world, the name of something and what that thing is, may be two different things. But Krishna is identical with His Name. So, the Name, we’re told,

#00:08:27#

nāma cintāmaṇiḥ kṛṣṇaś
caitanya-rasa-vigrahaḥ
pūrṇaḥ śuddho nitya-mukto
’bhinnatvān nāma-nāminoḥ

(CC: Madhya, 17.133)

Like, touching the Name of Krishna, like, touch stone. You know, sometimes there’s a magic stone, you touch it to something and it turns that into gold. So, the Holy Name of Krishna is like that. So, the Supreme Lord, the sum total of the infinite, He’s descended into Krishna, these two syllables. So, this news is very fortunate for us. So, we’re come to Sri Guru, we approach Krishna’s agent to hear the Holy Name of Krishna from Him. Like we were talking yesterday about heart-to-heart transaction. So, Krishna conception is in the heart, being transferred to another heart. Really, it’s the most beautiful thing and it’s what we’re hankering for.

#00:09:59#

Our heart is hankering for its correspondent. And we think, “Oh, that will be, you know, the person, places, things of this world. They’ll satisfy the hankering of my heart.” But actually, the heart is searching for the ideal. And the ideal means the Absolute. And really, that means the Personality of Godhead. So, the first book we made for our Guru Maharaj was called, ‘Search for Sri Krishna, Reality the Beautiful’.

#00:10:57#

And I mentioned about the time I was flying from Beijing to New York on China Airline. And sitting next to me was a Chinese professor of computer science. But he’s teaching at the, like, number one university in America for computer science. And so, I asked him a question. I said, “Oh, can I ask you some, you know, like, spiritual question?” And see what you think.

#00:11:39#

So, like this flower. It has a beautiful scent, aroma, fragrance. But there’s a source from which the flower came from. From which the tasty mango has come from. So, I said to him, “Can you say with absolute certainty, deny, the original source of the fragrance and the flower has no ability to smell that flower and appreciate it?” And he said, “No, I can’t deny that possibility.” And that’s what spiritual culture is. It’s culturing that possibility. Like yesterday, we were talking about yin and yang. Supreme masculine principle, supreme feminine principle. But not just principle, personalities. So, we’re very fortunate that, that, those supreme principles are embodied in the personalities of Sri Krishna and Srimati Radharani. There for we chant Hare Krishna maha-mantra. We told Krishna, and Hare means Srimati Radharani. Krishna is all attractive, but Radharani is attracting Krishna.

#00:13:54#

So, we think, Oh, then it will be good to be Radharani’s devotees. Because She has captured Krishna. So, if we’re Radharani’s devotees, then automatically we get Krishna. So, there’s so many things to understand. But like that mango, it goes from the seed to the flower to the fruit.

#00:14:34#

So, there’s the fruit of the Holy Name. Which manifests as Krishna-prema or love of Krishna. And we learn all these things through association. I told yesterday, most important thing is to be sincere in our approach. And I accept you both as being sincere. And like we offer flowers to the deity and to the Lord. We’re accepting you like flowers to be offered to Guru and Krishna. So, some things we’re told to be mindful of ten offenses [of Holy Name]. To be thoughtful about. Most important we’ll see is to revere the devotees of Krishna. Krishna’s distributing Himself through the devotees. They can read the details of that later. But important how we see is the devotees, also Guru, Krishna’s agent.

#00:16:30#

ācāryaṁ māṁ vijānīyān nāvamanyeta karhicit…

(SB: 11.17.27)

Krishna says, “Think of him as Me, My very self, coming to meet and greet you through him.” So, by the grace of Srila Gurudev, Srila Govinda Maharaj, and Srila Guru Maharaj, we want to extend the Holy Name of Krishna to you. Hare Krishna.
