    Inconceivable worlds indication giving something to us. When Narlikar, scientist Narlikar asked by someone scientist, “Which way you have got that idea about atom bomb or something either than bomb…,” he told, “I have got first idea from Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā. And there written:
    00:00:32
    divi sūrya-sahasrasya
    bhaved yugapad utthitā
    yadi bhāḥ sadṛśī sā syād
    bhāsas tasya mahātmanaḥ
    (Bhagavad-gītā: 11.12)
    00:00:41
    We have so much contradictory conception within our brain, but it will be clean if we will try to live in faithful plane and search that Absolute Truth. We have seen so many things in this material world, we heard so many things in this material world, but solution not come with our living that faithful plane.
    00:01:23
    Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam somewhere other one śloka I can recite,
    śrotavyādīni rājendra
    nṛṇāṁ santi sahasraśaḥ
    apaśyatām ātma-tattvaṁ
    gṛheṣu gṛha-medhinām
    (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: 2.1.2)
    00:01:44
    “Oh, Mahārāj Parīkṣit, what I shall tell and what you will hear it’s past thousand and thousand times. And everyone hear thousand times many things. But hankering not gone. Because we are interested about this material world. Not thinking about Spiritual World. Then here is no way of knowledge in hear.”
    00:02:20
    Parīkṣit Mahārāj, he asked some question and Śukadev told this śloka. In this material world we are hearing so much and heard so much, and no lakh of matter for hearing. But only for this world what is always movable, passing soul, for that we are doing. Because we have not seen our own self. Not tried to understand our own self. For that manywhere we are engaging our energy. For that final conclusion giving in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
    00:03:18
    We can search everything here, but all is temporary and covered by illusion. Then not to try so much for this life within this materialism. Your inner form is Spiritual. Then try to search the Spiritual World, not material.
    00:03:49
    yadu-pateḥ kva gatā mathurā-purī
    raghu-pateḥ kva gatottara-kośalā
    iti vichintya kurusva manaḥ sthiraṁ
    na sad idaṁ jagad ity avadhāraya
    (A note from Rūpa Goswāmī to Sanatan Goswāmī)
    00:04:01
    Rūpa Goswāmī said to his brother Sanatan Goswāmī this śloka. So much opulent before came when Ayodha when Rāmachanda was king, when Ayodha was exulted with so many opulence. But today where that Ayodha and where gone that opulence? We are fighting for so many things, but where gone that original form in this material world, where is that Dvārakā? When nothing will stay permenantly in this world, then why we are trying for that so much? As required for our maintenance in this material world we will take that and we will try to spend our energy for that, but not ignoring the Spiritual existence.
    00:05:15
    In this material world we are hearing for our peace, peaceful coexistence this world. But where is peaceful coexistence? My tongue will be damaged by my teeth. When they not will play properly then teeth will cut my tongue. That is peaceful coexistence? In this material world not possible.
    00:05:51
    Then as required for maintenance of this life try to get it and spend your spirit, spend your energy for the Search for Śrī Kṛṣṇa. I am many times told Search for Śrī Kṛṣṇa and why this I am telling? There is some cause. Because within this Kṛṣṇa Conception what I want eternally, that is existing permanently. Name of Kṛṣṇa, it is maybe name of Govinda, maybe name of Mādhava, name of Jādava, any name it will be considered for identification
    00:06:43
    If I shall say it is Allah, that’s also not objectionable. But if we will try to realise, something different we will get there. And what we want we want that, we want Love, we want Charm, we want Beauty, we want Affection, we want Ecstasy and we want Eternity. Were is whole this property existed? That is Kṛṣṇa Conception, for that I am telling Kṛṣṇa. I have seen my similarity with all the religion, all auspiciousness, all opulent, everything existing within all religion.
    00:07:46
    When I remember the dedication form of Lord Jesus I cannot forget that scenery. In this Vaiṣṇav religion and Christianity is very similarity I am seeing there. Humility, tolerance and giving honor to others, this is our property of this religion. Then we can expect from everyone, all religions have some similarity.
    Goswāmī Mahārāj: Something in common.
    Govinda Mahārāj: Yes, something in common.
    00:08:39
    All worshipable religions have some Scriptures. And through that and there Stalwart Dignitary as scholar we understand something something. Then all principal religion what existed in that material world, every religions have honor and divinity. But what I am practicing I can tell about that something. And that is Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
    00:09:25
    You can ask me, “Why Kṛṣṇa Consciousness?” And my answer will be this way, I cannot measure the form of Divine Source, but I can say through my Scriptures, what I am expecting, I want and my aspiration what can give me satisfaction, that is first condition is Eternity, second is Happiness, third is Ecstasy, fourth is Love, Affection and Beauty.
    00:10:22
    I want this and I’m getting in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, then I am related and fully dedicated to Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. We can ignore our material conception, but cannot ignore our Spiritual hankering.
    00:10:48
    When we are hearing from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, Śrī Brahma-saṁhitā,
    00:10:57
    śriyaḥ kāntāḥ kāntaḥ parama-puruṣaḥ kalpa-taravo
    drumā bhūmiś chintāmaṇi-gaṇa-mayi toyam amṛtam
    kathā gānaṁ nāṭyaṁ gamanam api vaṁśī priya-sakhi
    chid-ānandaṁ jyotiḥ param api tad āsvādyam api cha

    sa yatra kṣīrābdhiḥ sravati surabhībhyaś cha su-mahān
    nimeṣārdhākhyo vā vrajati na hi yatrāpi samayaḥ
    bhaje śvetadvīpaṁ tam aham iha golokam iti yaṁ
    vidantas te santaḥ kṣiti-virala-chārāḥ katipaye
    (Brahma-saṁhitā: 5.56)
    00:11:36
    Like this, some evidential śloka, then we must be attracted with that conception. We are going to make deception, but moon have some beauty, from far we are seeing the moon. And that giving me pleasant and light. That is we are feeling sufficient.
    00:12:10
    Dostoevsky, russian writer told that Beauty is controlling everything and saving the World. If we want to try to deception the moon, there we will get some stone and some very little air maybe. And no other life preserving materials.
    Goswāmī Mahārāj: Life sustaining.
    Govinda Mahārāj: Yes. Living from far, far from this world the Sun giving light, moon giving the planets life and all the medicinal herbs, etc. And there we can feel the Beauty and Charm and many things. From far we can taste this way. But when we will enter that is Transcendental World can be transformed anything within a second. What I want – that can give.
    00:13:30
    From this material plane we cannot conceive which way the time is controlled by the Sweet Absolute. Not passing the time, without His concert. “Nimeṣārdhākhyo vā vrajati na hi yatrāpi samayaḥ…” time is waiting for wish of Lord. This type of atmosphere there.
    00:14:01
    When in this world ask wife of Einstein, “What are you going to discover now?” Einstein said, I heard from Guru Mahārāj this theory, Einstein said, “After five-hundred years also you can talk with me and I can talk with you, this type of discovery I’m trying to do.” For that I believe and understand that everything existing within Consciousness. And full plesantism existing within Kṛṣṇa Consciousness that told Brahma-saṁhitā and other Scriptures and we are trying to practice that.
    00:14:59
    When Subjective Evolution come, this way and when Golden Volcano come with Divine Love then we will feel the peace of our heart. This way some description I given to you, I tried to give you about Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. What I am practicing, that if you will feel it is very peaceful conception, then anywhere you can stay, you can stay any position of religion, no problem will come to you.
    00:16:04
    From any corner, from anywhere you can try to understand through reading the books, hearing from some expert and practice himself with the Divine Name of Lord.
    00:16:30
    I am not happy with my English, but I am happy that you also many do not know English language. [laugh] Then our transaction will be heart to heart. I have some experience. Some of the devotees all over the world I am doing tour, making tour. And some of these Spanish devotees they are so much attracted with me. They are coming Nabadwīp to see me. Cannot speak one word in English, only ‘very good’ – this word. ‘Yes’, ‘no’, ‘very good’ – like that, few words they know. But they are sitting with me two hours and always smiling, only smiling and sitting. But this way I feel that our transaction going heart to heart.
    00:17:47
    Language can create some problem, no doubt, but that is ignorable. I pray to my Lord for you all. He will give the clean vision to you and you will be enriched with Love and Affection, Beauty, Charm and Ecstasy and Eternity. This is my prayer to my Lord.
    00:18:19
    Jaya Oṁ Viṣṇupād Śrīla Bhakti Rakṣak Śrīdhar Dev-Goswāmī Mahārāj ki jay!
