He explained the Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101 and \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam in the light of devotional service.<br \/>\nPurport<br \/>\nAlthough \u015ar\u012b Advaita Prabhu is an incarnation of Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, for the welfare of the conditioned souls He manifested Himself as a servitor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and throughout all His activities He showed Himself to be an eternal servitor. Lord Caitanya and Lord Nity\u0101nanda also manifested the same principle, although They also belong to the category of Vi\u1e63\u1e47u. If Lord Caitanya, Lord Nity\u0101nanda and Advaita Prabhu had exhibited Their all-powerful Vi\u1e63\u1e47u potencies within this material world, people would have become greater impersonalists, monists and self-worshipers than they had already become under the spell of this age. Therefore the Personality of Godhead and His different incarnations and forms played the parts of devotees to instruct the conditioned souls how to approach the transcendental stage of devotional service. Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya especially intended to teach the conditioned souls about devotional service. The word \u0101c\u0101rya means \u201cteacher.\u201d The special function of such a teacher is to make people K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a conscious. A bona fide teacher following in the footsteps of Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya has no other business than to spread the principles of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness all over the world. The real qualification of an \u0101c\u0101rya is that he presents himself as a servant of the Supreme. Such a bona fide \u0101c\u0101rya can never support the demoniac activities of atheistic men who present themselves as God. It is the main business of an \u0101c\u0101rya to defy such imposters posing as God before the innocent public.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1108\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KR0UPNdtj8Y\" title=\"Morning Class CC \u0100di 6.28 - HH SB Keshava Swami - 5 February 2025\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"cardx\">\n<strong>K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a-kath\u0101 | Gambhira | Pilgrimage of The Heart<\/strong><br \/>\nGambhira refers to the sacred room in Puri, Odisha, where Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu spent the last years of His life in deep devotion and ecstatic love for Lord Krishna. Located within the house of Kashi Mishra, Gambhira holds immense significance for Gaudiya Vaishnavas as the place where Mahaprabhu experienced intense spiritual emotions (bhava) and divine separation (viraha) from Krishna. His confidential associates, such as Swarupa Damodara and Ramananda Raya, witnessed His profound ecstasies here. Today, Gambhira remains a revered pilgrimage site, preserving relics like Mahaprabhu\u2019s wooden sandals, water pot, and bed, drawing devotees worldwide.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1108\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wDLN__UVyuw\" title=\"K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a-kath\u0101 | Gambhira | Pilgrimage of The Heart | Jagann\u0101tha Pur\u012b D-2 | 5 Feb 2025\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"cardx\">\n<h2>Give credit to the person who created the wonderful brain of the scientist!<\/h2>\n<p>Translation<br \/>\nWho else but You, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, could deliver the earth from within the water? It is not very wonderful for You, however, because You acted most wonderfully in the creation of the universe. By Your energy You have created this wonderful cosmic manifestation.<br \/>\nPurport<br \/>\nWhen a scientist discovers something impressive to the ignorant mass of people, the common man, without inquiry, accepts such a discovery as wonderful. But the intelligent man is not struck with wonder by such discoveries. He gives all credit to the person who created the wonderful brain of the scientist. A common man is also struck with wonder by the wonderful action of material nature, and he gives all credit to the cosmic manifestation. The learned K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a conscious person, however, knows well that behind the cosmic manifestation is the brain of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, as confirmed in Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101 (9.10): may\u0101dhyak\u1e63e\u1e47a prak\u1e5bti\u1e25 s\u016byate sa-car\u0101caram. Since K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a can direct the wonderful cosmic manifestation, it is not at all wonderful for Him to assume the gigantic form of a boar and thus deliver the earth from the mire of the water. A devotee is therefore not astonished to see the wonderful boar because he knows that the Lord is able to act far more wonderfully by His potencies, which are inconceivable to the brain of even the most erudite scientist.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1108\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hE1nX944TXE\" title=\"Srimad Bhagavatam Text - 3.13.43 Speaker - H.H.
