So this evening day afternoon the celebration of Ratha yatra, diwali festival, prepared Ratha Yatra procession next is going to be a special drama, the delivering s of jagai and madhai for which the devotees sitting on that corner have to shift over this side ------------(01:37) entrance. After the drama which is ---------(01:46) a when some one of the devotee come from the Arjuna dasa India recently he was the one of the players in a kalashetra a at the bombay Hare Krsna land, in the drama troop for several many years so he s come here so he s hoping to organize some of these devotional performances.So this be the other devotees of the temple have gathered together with some of the fans to perform the history about Lord Chaitanya sankirtan movement and how He delivered the two very rough character jagai and madhai. Jagai and madhai were born in a bhramin family five hundred years ago in Nabadwip leaving aside there bhramin a family like a priest family, instead they became robber and theft and persons of the worst character you can say socially undesirable element and on the other hand Lord Chaitanya stands His devotees out to go and preach door to door, He wanted that everyone should get the opportunity of giving about the Krishna consciousness philosophy and way of life and take out the chanting of Hare Krsna. So the players about the adventures where Lord Nityananda who was the------------(03:20) actually next to Lord Chaitanya the center the right is Lord Chaitanya left is Nityananda. Nityananda He was very compassionate He was going and requesting all of the people to chant Hare Krsna but will be interesting to see what happens when He request the two brother jagai and madhai to chant Hare Krsna how they received it seeing these bid rough character. So this will be the drama after that I'll give a very short discourse and we all going to offer lamp on the diwali. Dipawali we are going to offer ghee wicks another lights to the deity and then after that is going to be a feast. We hope everyone stays up till the feast.---------(04:13) our so drama, talk, deepdan, and feast. So this the basic programme ha... Sudarsha prabhu can a get a time count for a few minutes ?? Yes! Ratha yatra is commemorating the outing of Krsna, His brother and sister Balaram and Shubhadra when they went from their capital city of dwaraka to Hastinapur which is now New Delhi at that time, they are going actually not to Hastinapur but beyond hastinapur to Kurushetra is now in Noida is in the state of Haryana--------?(18:09). So that after that the battle of Kurushetra . The battle of Kurushetra is where Krsna spoke Bhagavad Gita than after the battle Yudhisthira was established as the throne as the emperor of the world. Krsna went back to dawaraka He s capital. And than on the occasion of solar eclipse that was customary to have a pilgrimage to kurushetra so Yudhisthira maharaj invited Krsna to come. So Krsna left His queens behind and went His brother and sister hearing that Krsna was going to Kurushetra the residents of vrindavan that Kurushetra, vrindavan is not very far from kurushetra they went from vrindavan to meet Krsna their Lord and their Love so they went to meet Him at that sacred pilgrimage place of kurushetra. In Bhagavad Gita its name the kurushetra dharma shetra that kurushetra is a dharma shetra it been a holy place since time immemorial so people go there and take a occasionally different time. So what in Jagganath Puri originally in recent there was a deity like this deity more or less a form of Krsna known a Nila madhava and Nila madhava is among history how Nila madhava deity seeing their left and the Jagannath deity the temple is thousand and thousand of years old. So its traditional that on the particular time of the year of course in india tell in the month of july or as more or less July but a in the west we have it done different occasion whenever we ger a permission or get a holiday that everyone can attend, so then the system is that they take Jagannath out for nine days to His aunt's house another words yudhisthira mother kunti devi is His aunt y. So they are going to meet the devotees at Kurushetra so in commemoration of that joining they take the deity of Krsna out for nine days first they going in a procession He stays out nine days and He comes back. So we compact the nine days festival into ninety minutes ( Laugh) going around and coming back. So as the significance is Lord Chaitanya He--------(08:08) got estacy and taking Jagannath in a mood of a serving the resident of vrindavan who are feeling great separation from Lord Chaitanya I mean Lord Krsna after so long that He had been gone. So that was Lord Chaitanya mood that He was bringing Krsna back to vrindavan. Like this different angels and perspective different great soldiers and devotees have made their commendation and the significance of the Ratha Yatra but the bhramins describe those who participate in the Ratha Yatra who carry the Ratha, pull the Rath, even walk with the Rath all of them are gain a limited benefits they achieve position as the in the spiritual world after this body so this very purifying to have this festival.we have a festival-------(09:04) big cart that will shift down to--------(09:08) normally we have the festival in the ------------------- (09:09) but this year because -------------(09:15). is going to have their type of big festival doing the -------(09:18) which is at the time that everyone is under street and -----(09:23) so they didn't have a Ratha Yatra at this time so we fell that ----(09:28) Jagannath, Shubadra, Baladev deity----------(09:31) Ratha Yatra so we have one here all of us as a procession and a palanquin it is -----------(09: 41) . As basic history as much know person as I question satisfy or wants to know more? satisfy. In calcutta we have a Ratha Yatra festival as same time as Jagannath puri and this year about forming in people witness that going nine days and coming went to the statesmen --------(10:08) news paper in english. Any other question?? Diwali is the time when Rama is coming back to Ayodhya----------(10:25) Shri Rama after fourteen years of exile, when Ram was returning to Ayodhya all the residents of Ayoudhya were so pleased Ram is coming in a special airplane they don't require any patrol--------(10:45) so the resident of Ayoudhya wanted to let Ram know where Ayoudhya was so they all put lights on top of their house and put many lights. So deepa means lights depawali many offerings of many lamps so its the of course ------(11:12) old festival and its a time when people consider some business consider as new year and other different type of little ceremony come up but as far as I understand the origin of the idea was greetings for Lord Ram for showing Him inviting Him to come and this month also is consider the month of Damodar or Kartik and this Kartik vrata or Damodar vrata as mentioned in the vedas that any one who perform different kinds of spiritual activities weather its RathaYatra, weather its offerings a lamps, weather its chanting Hare Krsna or eating prasad or any type of spiritual activity you do doing this month you get hundred time benefits so specially this month is recommended that one should observe vegetarianism even if one is other wise not this is a best month to be complete vegetarian for one month than you can get a hundred time benefits of that so that we are already a Krsnatarian vegetarian so but this is okay because this month we don't eat high protein----912:36) for just initial we don't have even eat high protein a vegetarian food like-----(12:44) kalai dal, urad dal and some other things as a token in this month where we one suppose to be vegetarian so its a great opportunity thats so many festival fall on this particular month as Govardhan Puja, there s this dipawali, there s Rasalila and many festival in this month so its very easy for people to participate in different festival and by doing so you get so many types formality. Any other question-----(13:23) Normally the saffron colors worn by a initiated bramachari . The saffron colors is serious colors literally posses the color possess symbolize specially the color when the sun rises that the aruna the color just before the sun comes up and which is very peaceful at the same time at very dynamic so the color symbolize renunciation in a positive sense of engaging in spiritual activity so this saffron is traditionally worn by bramachari, some vanprastha and sanyasis those who were the saffron are supposed to be completely celebrate. If somebody following various rules and regulations in fact in India the saffron cloth is given in a ceremony and everyone who wears-------(14:43) is consider very offences someone makes mistakes certain types of mistakes----(14:50) but the bramachari they were saffron but they made they may take the permission of the Guru also entering the household life timely return the saffron cloth to the spiritual master and they receive white cloth colored cloth other regular colors of cloth and than they may entered the household life by marrying soon. So as long they are in training there's a system call upanayan weather given different-----(15:22) and that time they can serve as the bramachari when one retires from active family life and visits holy places and again at that time husband and wife agreed matter have any more sexual relationship but just to help each other spends that call vanaprasta retired life that time husband and wife can keep a close contact they can even travel together visit holy places and do devotional services than there another stages where husband a becomes a takes renounced order that time he were saffron also, the different color the same color different type of cloth than a that time he is not allowed to have any association with his wife anymore at all and simply be complete dedicated to spiritual activity without any constraint for social, familial, national, other type of responsibility but completely dedicated to spiritual activity so these are the different types of stages from the student to the married to the retired to the renounced normally people entered to the retired age after the age of fifty and than after some time---------(17:00) so this age the renounced order is not recommended-----(17:09) so generally we recommend people get a training as a student and learn to be a controlled to be bramachari so that when they entered a household life they can lead a more spiritual household life on the basis of the foundation of a austerity foundation of simple living first they have buildup in their bramachari life. So the deity----(17:33) we are also ready. Are you ready? Yes! Hare krsna Hare Krsna ---(17:46) say loudly Hare Krsna hare krsna krsna krsna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare.
