Degradation in Kali Yuga
Ajanu Lambi Tabujok na Kavadatu, Sankirtanayka Pitarok Malai Tak so. Vishwambarod Vjawaru Yuga Dharma Paluvandeja Priya Karu Karnavata Danta Pravissima Anjamatva Gadi Pranandam Bhagavatam, Are Krishna May Bahut Kusiho Bhaglumme? Up kiss out in me. Yes, I am not as abkey saskita um make some of the same. It is very nice and pleasing to the heart to see so many devotees here in this baglum city.
It's Kali Yuga. It's a very bad time now. Yo Igda me naramra samai Kali Yugao. Everyone is being degraded. Real culture is being degraded. Even the human nature is being degraded. People become so cruel hearted.
People kill each other, people kill little babies in the womb of the mother, people kill cows. Uh it's such a fallen uh age. And uh all over the world because of this people suffer.
We can see there is wars everywhere, there is also change of the climate. And it's only because there is some dirt in the heart. Kalmas Hridayame.
Purifying the internal heart
And because of this, uh there is so much suffering in this Kali Yuga.
And people try to solve these problems Prov by political mannor by scientific manner by samu adjustment, by some treatise by sam artificial means they are trying to solve this problem.
But you cannot solve these problems unless you purify your heart. Because all this external kalmash, external dirt is the manifestation of the internal dirt, the dirt inside.
Takinak samasha Kalmasarasan in Arianako Vitra Vida Ma Vaga Kalmasaru Pros Prospitika Vagamatrio.
We have this Sadhripu inside my our heart, Kamakro, the Loba Madam Mohamad Sarya and because of this all these problems are there uh externally.
Therefore, the only solution to all the problems of the human life is to chant the holy name of God.
Because all other artificial means will not solve the internal problem and therefore the external problem will remain no matter how much endeavor you uh apply.
If your heart is pure, then the environment will be pure, then the peace will be outside. But if your heart is very agitated, how there can be peace?
And therefore Śrīla Prabhupāda came and he said there should be spiritual solutions to material problems.
Now people that are trying to have material solution to spiritual problems. But you cannot solve problems by material means.
You cannot solve spiritual problems because the root cause of problems is the spiritual problem because people turn away from God.
Samasya Samadhan Gamalaya Sambhavsaina Dava Manshi Bhagavan Vata Bhimukva Agari Vasani Tava Samma Samasya Samadhan Sambhsaya Kaviya Gandra said Bayamdviti Bhini Vesha Taksya Tishada Peta Sya Bi Pariya Yospriti Now the problem
of human being is that Ishada Petasya they became they turned away, they become Bahir Mukkah, they turned away from God. And because of this, they become vitiya binarius.
Their mind is completely absorbed in this deity in the material world, in the matter. And their memory is uh perverted. The viparyas Mritih.
Their memories they they forget the most important things and they engaged in something y unimportant. They remember about Biden, about this political leader, that political leader. They don't remember about Krishna.
And therefore Prabhupāda he came and he said we should find spiritual solutions to all material problems. And if the problem is that people turned away from God, they became Bahir Muka, then the solution is that they should turn back to God.
Samasya say Bhagavan but a Bahirmuk Vaira Sirjanavagauna, Samasya, Samadhan Gana like Heri Bhagwan Tarva, I mean Varginapasa, Bhagvan Tarva, Agi Ban. Instead of being Bahirmuk, they should become Antarmuk.
Bhagavan but a bahirmuvnavara Antarmuk Vandu Bhassa. And how you can become Antarmuk?
Constant remembrance of Krishna
By chanting Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare Krishna Hare Hare, Then you will always remember about God. Smarta Yaksatan Vishmuk Vishnu Sarvavidi Vishadasjuh Etayoreva Kinkara.
All other rules of the Vedas is only to remember God. And Prabhupada writes in the eighth chapter of Bhagavad-gītā where Krishna speaks about Smaranana. He says that we should always remember about God.
This is the best way to remember about God. Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma, Rāma. You have to remember about me constantly.
Mam Anusmara, not just Smara, not just kinchitsmara, not just Tora Tora Smara, Mamanu Smara all the time, satatam muhu. He says he says Manmana.
This is the most important uh instance And it's very simple if you chant the holy name of God. And Prabhupada came and he traveled all over the world just to remind people that this is the way to live human life.
We can only live human life properly if we remember about God. Achari is here, he is a living example of it. He for every little thing which he does, he chants some mantra. Just to remember about God.
We live our life in a very mechanical way. Yantra, Yantra what, we live like Yantra. Yeah machine.
Overcoming the machine age
But uh if we want not to be machine and become human being we have to remember God whatever we do. It is said in the Shastra that this Kali Yuga is Yantra Yuga.
In uh in this age everyone everything is being done by machine. You want to wash your clothes, there is a machine. You want to cook pizza, there is a machine.
Pizza Pagani sa they have any entry? Uh momous. Yeah we have we have that missing maras. And people become like machine also. There is no love in the heart.
And uh the people become like machine. But if we want not to be like machine, there is only one way, is to remember Śrīla Prabhupāda in eleven short years, very short time, eleven years, he made the whole world remember Krishna.
It's amazing, you know. He went to America and he made Americans to remember Krishna.
I was once visiting some sadhu sammelan in Rishikesh. So many sadhus came, I think it was probably 500 sadhus came for for the sadhu sammelan. It was in in the year two thousand.
In Dayananda Saraswati Ashram Vivada. Yeah, Dayananda Saraswati Ashram Math. And uh when there was some break, lunch break or something, one sadhu came to me.
And he said, I am a Sanskrit scholar and I have gurukula and I have 400 students in my gurukula. And um I teach Sanskrit and culture and everything. Uh he was from Rajasthan.
And he said, but your Prabhupāda is He said, why? Because I'm a sadhu, I'm teaching this Vedic culture to my students, to my vedic students.
But my son, I couldn't teach him to wear dhoti. He won't wear dhoti or like sikhā. He won't wear śikhā, tilaka, and he won't do sandhyā. He wears pants, yes, my own son. And Prabhupāda went to America and he made American hippies wear dhotis. And for me, it is a little bit... Who I am and who is he?
So Prabhupāda, his heart, his desire to give this Vedic culture to the whole world. And Vedic culture means to remember about Krishna. This is Vedic culture.
Sanskrit is our sanskara, like it can change. So that's the... that's the Vedic culture and anybody sounds good to you. And because of Prabhupāda's mercy, this Vedic culture is being so firmly established globally.
He is uh smiling. And he's very amazed he has pink eyes. So many people came. He's very happy. So I'm I'm also very happy. Thank you very much for resisting this attack of Kali Yuga which is becoming very very fierce.
And if your heart will become pure, then you solve all your problems and the problems of all people around yes. That's the only solution to all the problems. There's no other solution.
Or kono samadhan gopasina, Hare nama hare nama hare namaiva kevalam kalo nasty eva nasty eva nasty eva gatir anyatha. No other way, no other way. Thank you very much.
