But anyways todays verse was this that I chose to listen to:
BG Ch. 4 Text 11
ye yathā māṁ prapadyante
tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham
mama vartmānuvartante
manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ
All of them—as they surrender unto Me—I reward accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects, O son of Pṛthā.
I took a full page worth of notes since he was easy to understand.
What I learned or already know is that Srila Prabhupada said that everyone is looking for Krishna without even knowing it. He says that Krishna means "the all attractive one" and that Bhagavan means "the all attractive supreme lord."
He also said why should we care for this body? Prabhupada explains that we are parts and parcels of the Supreme Lord and that this body does not belong to us.It is our soul that is inside the body that belongs to Krishna so we must take good care of it to return to Krishna. The dead material body he says has no real value but the soul does since it is eternal. Our love should go to Krishna since He is our real creator.
Prabhupada also said that the Absolute Truth or God is explained in different ways, but the object is the same. The object is Krishna. He said that Bramha is the impersonal realization.
Many years ago Prabhupada said that Krishna first spoke the Bhagavad Gita to the Sun God Vivesan. The sun planet is a real place but we have no power to go there.
Goloka Vrndavan and Krsnaloka are also real planets but we cannot see them with our eyes because they are in the spiritual world and Krsna Himself lives there those planets are also Krsna Himself since He is in everything. These planets Krsnaloka and Goloka Vrndavan are His personal abode. Everything belongs to Krishna. We own nothing. We are all sons of Krishna Prabhupada says. If you know what is Krishna then you know Brahma's effulgence and that effulgence is coming from Krsna.
Srila Prabhupada goes on to say that Krishna is open to everyone who wishes to come to Him. Krishna will accept you in any way. You can approach Him in almost any way. If you are not attached to the material nature then you become eligible to enter into the spiritual world.
Prabhupada then says if you do not surrender unto the Lotus Feet of Krishna, then again you must come back to this material world and remain attached to material desires.
Srila Prabhupada says that the ultimate goal is Krishna.
These are the notes I took from this lecture and they are words that Prabhupada has said what I wrote down for my notes. I find it helpful and then I can refer back to it. I think I will show Maharaj my notes to him tomorrow when he's got time. I want to tell him that I've been trying to listen to Prabhupada's lectures at least once a day and take notes from them. He may have me continue doing that. If this pleases my guru Maharaj I will definately continue listening to Prabhupada's lectures once a day or if I have time a few more.
So what I will do also what ever lecture I chose to listen to and after I take notes from it I will post it here for you all to read maybe you can learn something from it.It is the only way I can actually do a little preaching here and there.
