Speech on Nama-hatta

Beauty of simplicity in Nepal

0:01I'm very happy to be with all of you. I was here last time seven or eight years. We were traveling with Raju Rajushangapany Yatra Guru. And uh Nepal is a very beautiful country.

0:31But the most beautiful about this country is the people. If country is beautiful but people are not so beautiful, then country is not so beautiful either. It is this Sundar sa manche sundar chaina haina ru

0:57and the beauty of people is their simplicity. Saralta. In the West people they are very sophisticated. They are very complex.

True beauty within the soul

1:18And uh it's very difficult to see their soul. Because the beauty is in the soul. The beauty is not in the mind. The beauty is not in the body.

1:41Because body even if it's beautiful for a few days at the end will become very ugly. In the mind there is Kam Krod Loba, Mohamada Matsarya, not very beautiful. Beauty is in the soul.

2:15And if uh the mind is not complicated and body uh is not really uh overshadowing the soul, then the beauty of the soul comes through.

2:37Therefore the most important quality mahatapurna gun hai uh salta sabbuntamhatapurna gun sha Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, he used to say vaiṣṇavatā saralatā.

2:58Bhakti Santa Saraswati Kul leki but I Vaishnavata Yo Sar Because uh when you become saral, when you become very simple, when you become then it's very easy to practice Bhakti.

Simple nature of Krishna and soul

3:21Actually, soul is very simple. Krishna is also very simple. Krishna asked you. He is a cow-head boy. Uh Gopalangar nick Kita. He doesn't even know how to write and read. He didn't get his Brahmin thread in Vra in Vraj.

3:50After that he went to Sandi Pani Muni, but in Vraj is very simple. Atma is very simple, Krishna is very simple, Bhakti is also very simple. Atma saralsa, bhana party saralunsa, bhakti paniati saralsa.

4:10Because bhakti yoga means connecting simple atma with simple Krishna and therefore the process is very simple. No, you should chant Hare Krishna. You know you you don't chant Janma Dasayatum Mayate Taratas Ch Very simple.

4:49Other things are also very important. But in reality Vastafmeh the process upaya And therefore Nepal is such a beautiful country. Because people are very beautiful.

5:17And therefore so many people become bhaktas, so many people start chanting the holy name of Krishna. And

Seeking blessings from simple devotees

5:30I am here only to get your blessings. I am very complicated. Yeah translation. I need your blessings. You please bless me with your simplicity so that uh I also become like

6:24you and and Krishna will recognize me at the end of the day. Eight years back we were traveling here in Nepal. And with us was one very famous Russian lady poet. She's she's very famous.

6:52She has hundreds of thousands of followers, the people, Russian people like her poetry. She's a good poet. And she came back. She wrote a one poem. And the main hero of this poem was Raju.

7:26She was glorifying him, she was saying that we. She said she's comparing the complicated and very artificial kritrim uh life in the West with very natural svabhavik life in Nepal.

8:00And for her Raju was the symbol of simplicity. So that's why I'm back. That's why I came back. Thank you very much. Hare Krishna.
