In this lecture, I am going to show you how to create a 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D Now Lakshana means there are 9 ways in which Bhakti can be performed. Or there are 9 symptoms of Bhakti. How do we know somebody is a Bhakta? He may be Shravanam, he may be Kshetanam, he may be Smaranam.

So, Atman Ivedan is not an eternal Rasa in the spiritual world. Shravanam or Kshetanam is also not an eternal Rasa. But, these 9 activities are done by devotees and when we hear these 9 activities being done, we understand that there is devotion in this person and also it is an expression of devotion and also if we don't have that devotion by doing these 9 activities we develop that devotion As the Lord Maharaj says both things the next word of the Shravana Kriya condition is kiti, kusar, ita, vishu, bhakti, chhena, navalakshana that these are the navalakshana of bhakti when these 9 are offered to Vishnu they are always Vishwanam, Kirtanam or something or other but when these are offered to Vishnu then they become Siddhu, Bhakti but on the next line he says create the bhagavatyadha that these actually lead to the development of attraction to Siddhu or create the bhagavatyadha tan manye, therefore I consider them to be I consider this to be the best education the education that trains people is Shravana Kirtanam so if you look at the other examples also understand that Parishad Maharaj attained perfection by Shravana or Shukadeva Swami attained perfection by Kirtanam now Shukadeva Swami and Parishad Maharaj also have their past history they are their exalted devotees so yes they are already exalted devotees but how we should perform this particular limb of devotional service is demonstrated by them can you hear so how we can perform devotional service is Adhyaya Krishna so Parishad Maharaj is demonstrating to us how we should do Atmanivejan just like Parishad Maharaj is demonstrating to us how we should do Shravana now with respect to the other personalities they were already devotees before they rendered this service also if you look at the example of Shravana Kirtanam, Swarana Vandana Archanam Vandana Archan Kutumaraj Vandana Akrura they are already devotees and they rendered this possible form of devotional service now Bali Maharaj before this past time he has not manifested his devotion but through this past time he manifested his devotion and then after that he became he gets the reward of having of having Parmandeva as his gatekeeper so but we understand this way that Bali Maharaj probably would have been a great devotee earlier also because he was born as a grandson of Prahlad Maharaj or to be born as a to be able to directly get the association of the Lord is no ordinary position but even if we don't investigate the past life connection what we understand is that if one surrenders like this then one can also become a great devotee one can get special mercy of the Lord one can become a Mahajan so the past life connection should not be used to minimize the glory of what Bali Maharaj did right here so Bali Maharaj may or may not have been having some past life connection he might be eternal associate we don't know but even if he is eternal associate what he is demonstrating is if one does Atmanivedanam even if one has in that life earlier been like a typical demoniac person of course the demoniac person in Vedic times was also much more cultured than the demoniac people now but that Atmanivedanam has such potency that even if one is demoniac one can become transformed just like Prabhupada when he was on Jagadurta he is singing like songs where he says shunni kaane baar baar if one keeps hearing again and again the Bhagavateva Katha then that person will become sober ok Prabhu thank you very much we will continue tomorrow but how many days they were like that how many days they were like that ok we will continue tomorrow in a more narrow sense the one with which most scholars are familiar Veda refers to the four saptimas only earliest of the four and consists of 1017 hymns or 1048 if one includes certain apocryphal verses it is composed in Sanskrit and is divided into 10 books now as that follows this long collection of hymns consists of somewhat enigmatic praise of gods and goddesses in my opinion is largely identified with aspects of material nature of supernatural powers such as the god of emotion the night sky the hero the slayer of demons such as the goddess of the dawn the TV the goddess of earth the cosmos space agony the god fire there are many others as well the text tells us essentially that these gods are various manifestations of the same ultimate truth of Brahma the supreme spirit that they are individuals as well Vishnu who in later tradition is referred to as the high god of Indra is also represented here as a source of the assistance of Brahma though only mentioned in a few verses Vishnu's presence is not insignificant the Rig Veda refers to his three cosmos when he takes three steps and when each is his quest as overtaking the earth the sky and whatever lies beyond respectively in other words his steps envelop all existence encompassing the celestial celestial atmosphere dimensions of reality thus in a sense he subsumes the gods the gods in his collective love for they are usually embodiments of these natural phenomena he who will leverage his morphology in the section of Vishnu the Samaveda or the Vedas in the verses of the Rig are the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't know.
