Hare Krishna!<\/p>\n
Welcome to all of the members of the ILS festival that is taking place. This a leadership seminar and I have been asked to give class on a theme that I am not so versed on. Not that I am versed on many things but not on leadership. And this was the verse that was given to us, a very well-known verse from the Fifth Canto. I remember when the Fifth Canto came out, this Fifth Chapter was one of the ones that the devotees were very fond of learning and memorizing. <\/p>\n
So here Sukadeva or Maharaj Rsabhadeva is speaking in the following way to His sons:<\/p>\n
gurur na sa sy\u0101t sva-jano na sa sy\u0101t
\npit\u0101 na sa sy\u0101j janan\u012b na s\u0101 sy\u0101t
\ndaiva\u1e41 na tat sy\u0101n na pati\u015b ca sa sy\u0101n
\nna mocayed ya\u1e25 samupeta-m\u1e5btyum (SB 5.5.18)<\/p>\n
Translation:\u00a0One who cannot deliver his dependents from the path of repeated birth and death should never become a spiritual master, a father, a husband, a mother or a worshipable demigod.<\/p>\n
And here is the purport by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.<\/p>\n
Purport:\u00a0 There are many spiritual masters, but \u1e5a\u1e63abhadeva advises that one should not become a spiritual master if he is unable to save his disciple from the path of birth and death. Unless one is a pure devotee of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, he cannot save himself from the path of repeated birth and death. Tyaktv\u0101 deha\u1e41 punar janma naiti m\u0101m eti so \u2019rjuna. One can stop birth and death only by returning home, back to Godhead. However, who can go back to Godhead unless he understands the Supreme Lord in truth? Janma karma ca me divyam eva\u1e41 yo vetti tattvata\u1e25.
\nWe have many instances in history illustrating \u1e5a\u1e63abhadeva\u2019s instructions. \u015aukr\u0101c\u0101rya was rejected by Bali Mah\u0101r\u0101ja due to his inability to save Bali Mah\u0101r\u0101ja from the path of repeated birth and death. \u015aukr\u0101c\u0101rya was not a pure devotee, he was more or less inclined to fruitive activity, and he objected when Bali Mah\u0101r\u0101ja promised to give everything to Lord Vi\u1e63\u1e47u. Actually one is supposed to give everything to the Lord because everything belongs to the Lord. Consequently, the Supreme Lord advises in Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101 (9.27):
\nyat karo\u1e63i yad a\u015bn\u0101si yaj juho\u1e63i dad\u0101si yat
\nyat tapasyasi kaunteya tat kuru\u1e63va mad-arpa\u1e47am
\n\u201cO son of Kunt\u012b, all that you do, all that you eat, all that you offer and give away, as well as all austerities that you may perform, should be done as an offering unto Me.\u201d This is bhakti. Unless one is devoted, he cannot give everything to the Supreme Lord. Unless one can do so, he cannot become a spiritual master, husband, father or mother. Similarly, the wives of the br\u0101hma\u1e47as who were performing sacrifices gave up their relatives just to satisfy K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. This is an example of a wife rejecting a husband who cannot deliver her from the impending dangers of birth and death. Similarly, Prahl\u0101da Mah\u0101r\u0101ja rejected his father, and Bharata Mah\u0101r\u0101ja rejected his mother (janan\u012b na s\u0101 sy\u0101t). The word daivam indicates a demigod or one who accepts worship from a dependent. Ordinarily, the spiritual master, husband, father, mother or superior relative accepts worship from an inferior relative, but here \u1e5a\u1e63abhadeva forbids this. First the father, spiritual master or husband must be able to release the dependent from repeated birth and death. If he cannot do this, he plunges himself into the ocean of reproachment for his unlawful activities. Everyone should be very responsible and take charge of his dependents just as a spiritual master takes charge of his disciple or a father takes charge of his son. All these responsibilities cannot be discharged honestly unless one can save the dependent from repeated birth and death.
\n[mangalacarana prayers]\nHH Sivarama Swami: Hare Krishna. Here is the context and then we just keep in mind that the theme is meant to be about leadership and the qualities, responsibilities of leaders. This is a very appropriate and a very generic verse, generic in the sense that it talks about all levels of leadership, all levels of leaders. Maharaj Rsabhadeva and His sons are in Brahmavarta. And the Lord is giving instruction here and in the previous verses, He is emphasizing the futility of fruitive activities and the validity of devotional service is actually the only means of perfection. There are many wonderful verses and in the previous verse, I will just read, the Lord is describing the nature of a materialistic person. In other words that person who delivers, who deserves deliverance:
\n\u201cDue to ignorance, the materialistic person does not know anything about his real self-interest, the auspicious path in life. He is simply bound to material enjoyment by lusty desires, and all his plans are made for this purpose. For temporary sense gratification, such a person creates a society of envy, and due to this mentality, he plunges into the ocean of suffering. Such a foolish person does not even know about this.\u201d (SB 5.5.16)
\n\u201cIf someone is ignorant and addicted to the path of sa\u1e41s\u0101ra, how can one who is actually learned, merciful and advanced in spiritual knowledge engage him in fruitive activity and thus further entangle him in material existence? If a blind man is walking down the wrong path, how can a gentleman allow him to continue on his way to danger? How can he approve this method? No wise or kind man can allow this.\u201d (SB 5.5.17)
\nAnd then\u2026
\n\u201cOne who cannot deliver his dependents from the path of repeated birth and death should never become a spiritual master, a father, a husband, a mother or a worshipable demigod.\u201d (SB 5.5.18)
\nI was just looking\u2026I recognize over here, so I believe if I am correct that this is also a statement which is found in Manu-samhita. And here because this particular verse is placed in quotation marks and the other verses are not.
\nIn any case the real bottom line is what leadership and guidance is about is being given here. Ultimately one must be able to make others Krishna conscious. If we cannot bring one to the path of devotional service which is the path that ends samsara, then one should not be any position of leadership which more or less means one should not do anything, one should not take any responsibility in this world because here it\u2019s not just about guru but it\u2019s about any leader, meaning for instance a political leader or a father or a husband or even the demigods. The demigods should give up their positions if they are not able to bring one to the path of perfection.
\nWhat does it mean to deliver a dependent? Here Srila Prabhupada in the purport explains that it means to give them devotional service. Similarly I looked up Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura\u2019s comments and his is also is \u201cunless one can give bhakti\u201d. If someone cannot actually give bhakti, if one cannot give pure devotional service then one should not take the responsibility.
\nAnd Srila Prabhupada concludes here. He says. \u201cAll these responsibilities cannot be discharged honestly unless one can save the dependent.\u201d And, \u201cif he cannot do this, he plunges himself into the ocean of reproachment for his unlawful activities.\u201d
\nThat ocean of reproachment is termed in very simple language by Cakravarti Thakura as being sin. In other words it is a sin, it\u2019s a sin if one takes responsibility and yet one cannot fulfill responsibility to another.
\nCaitanya Mahaprabhu in a very general way has given the order, \u201c\u0101m\u0101ra \u0101j\u00f1\u0101ya guru\u201d (CC Madhya 7.128), that everyone should be guru, and here we see that regardless of what situation one takes up, what type of responsibility one adopts, whether it be a family responsibility, a social responsibility, a spiritual responsibility, more or less everybody is in the same category.
\nOf course it may be that they are being viewed differently or they have a different type of relationship but the bottom line is that the ultimate purpose and goal of life is to go back home, back to Godhead.
\nAnd those who take responsibility for someone else are meant to know this and have to facilitate that. They are meant to give the opportunity for others to take to the path of devotional service. So when Caitanya Mahaprabhu says \u0101m\u0101ra \u0101j\u00f1\u0101ya which is a very weighty statement. He is saying \u201cThis is My order.\u201d Throughout Bhagavad gita Krishna never gives an order. In fact He says, yathecchasi tath\u0101 kuru (Bg 18.63) \u201cDo whatever you want to do.\u201d But Caitanya Mahaprabhu is giving an order which means it\u2019s is a very weighty instruction and He says, \u2018It\u2019s My order that you become guru.\u201d
\nAnd of course what is guru? Guru is someone who is giving devotional service, who is giving bhakti, who is planting bhakti-lat\u0101-b\u012bja, who is planting that seed of devotional service. So brahm\u0101\u1e47\u1e0da bhramite we are wandering throughout the universe, but as Srila Prabhupada also points out the children who take birth in the family of devotees their wandering isn\u2019t coincidental that they are taking birth in the family of devotees, but it\u2019s actually in the same way as one comes in contact or is fortunate enough, guru-k\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a-pras\u0101de p\u0101ya, fortunate by Krishna\u2019s grace to come in contact with guru, similarly one comes in contact with a good parent, a good mother, a good father.
\nIt\u2019s very interesting that Cakravarti Thakura says that if you become friend of someone just to be his friend but not because you are going to actually deliver or give them Krishna consciousness or exchange Krishna consciousness, he says then you are sinful. It\u2019s a good platform for friendship, obviously Krishna consciousness .
\nbodhayanta\u1e25 parasparam
\nkathayanta\u015b ca m\u0101\u1e41 nitya\u1e41
\ntu\u1e63yanti ca ramanti ca (Bg 10.9)
\nCoincidentally this morning I was listening to Srila Prabhupada\u2019s conversation in Delhi 1973 and the latter part of the conversation was very interesting, it was all about Srila Prabhupada\u2019s days, pharmaceutical days when he was a pharmacist and he was speaking of himself in humorous terms. He was saying, \u201cYes, when Bengal Chemical offered me a job, I was very arrogant, I was very puffed up. I wanted my terms and when they didn\u2019t give me my terms, I wouldn\u2019t accept it.\u201d
\nBut the beginning part, seems to be that Srila Prabhupada was displeased. He is displeased with what was transpiring over there at the temple because devotees were spending all day and all night maintaining the temple and he says \u201c but if you are not coming together for satsang, if you are not chanting and hearing together, if you are not cultivating your own Krishna consciousness, he says then you are karmis. You are working hard but the consciousness will not be there, the right consciousness will not be there if actually the exchange is not based on Krishna consciousness and is not based on this principle, how to nurture each other\u2019s bhakti-lat\u0101-b\u012bja.
\nAnd it\u2019s sometimes something that one may observe that in our Krishna consciousness movement we do spend a lot of time preaching about how important it is to hear about Krishna and talk about Krishna and so on and yet we don\u2019t necessarily spend so much time hearing about Krishna and talking about Krishna.
\nJust before I came to India we had a leadership seminar for the Hungarian yatra, the leaders are about sixty, the senior devotees there in leadership positions. It was refreshing as we weren\u2019t talking about any problems or any management or any other issues, but the whole theme was how to become more faithful, more knowledgeable, more devoted to Srila Prabhupada, and Srila Prabhupada\u2019s instructions.
\nAnd that was three full days. On the first two days we had debates on topical issues based on Srila Prabhupada\u2019s teachings. Niranjana Swami Maharaja was also there. He was speaking with the English-speaking Hungarians; I was speaking with the Hungarian-speaking Hungarians.
\nAnd on the last day we sort of incorporated something which I learnt or at least heard of from Kesava Bharati Swami Maharaja who in Bhaktivedanta Asrama, Govardhana. What they usually do during the month of Karttika is they spend about six hours a day just reading. Groups of devotees hear and chant together, they go systematically through certain books. They stop at a certain point. Devotees talk and exchange, analyze a verse and then they go on like that, kathayanta\u015b ca m\u0101\u1e41 nitya\u1e41 And they nurtured each other\u2019s Krishna consciousness and so we did the same thing for one day.
\nWe took te\u1e63\u0101\u1e41 satata-yukt\u0101n\u0101\u1e41 from Bhagavad gita and we were just analyzing that verse. Actually someone else also very expert in this is Krishna Dharma and Cintamani Dhama in UK. We had a nice time siting and discussing like that and it was very interesting for in the morning we never got past the Sanskrit, devotees were analyzing the Sanskrit and it was really quite amazing and it was very enlivening and in the afternoon we got to the word for word and we got as far as the translation and a little bit of Srila Prabhupada\u2019s purport.
\nBut the feedback that I got from that was that this was worth more than so many other leadership seminars and so on, to go just deeply into Krishna\u2019s words, to go into Prabhupada\u2019s teachings and as Srila Prabhupada says to examine his books from all different angles of vision.
\nAnd of course it does not mean that leadership doesn\u2019t mean that one does not require training. We have many great examples of leaders. Of course our most immediate best example of leader is Srila Prabhupada himself. And for instance the Pandavas despite the fact that they were associates of the Lord, that they were already great personalities and they certainly were very Krishna conscious but still they went through so much training just to have to put that, how to get across Krishna consciousness in a most viable practical way.
\nMaharaj Yudhishthira was thr king, and I can\u2019t remember who, I think Arjuna ended up being a treasurer after the war. They all took different roles, different responsibilities, but even while they were in the Himalayas before they actually came to Hastinapur they were in training and after that they were in training but the substance of the training is what it is they are actually communicating. We are not simply communicating systems, we are not just communicating words but these are actually vehicles for giving across the wonderful message of Bhagavad gita, man-man\u0101 bhava mad-bhakto mad-y\u0101j\u012b m\u0101\u1e41 namaskuru\u2014how to actually become pure devotees. And when one does that, then one becomes very glorious.
\nThis is slight divergence. Just recently when I was in the UK and I was either giving class or I was speaking with Dhananjaya Prabhu our Godbrother. He recited one instance in Vrindavana when devotees were sitting there with Srila Prabhupada in his room and sort of out of the blue Prabhupada started saying, \u201cYou may all leave; the Presidents may fall down, the GBC\u2019s may fall down, the pujaris may fall down, the book distributors may. . . .\u201d
\nAnd everyone was thinking, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on? Where is this all leading to?\u201d So Prabhupada said, \u201cBut the books are already out there and therefore. . .\u201d I am not exactly quoting, \u201cBut the poison is already set, the damage has been done, and someone will come and they will start it again but I want all of you to take the glory. And I want you to get the recognition from Caitanya Mahaprabhu.\u201d
\nSo it is a wonderful opportunity that Srila Prabhupada has actually given us and it\u2019s not that difficult a thing. As Srila Prabhupada would often say \u201cJust repeat what you have heard\u201d. What we have heard here from Srimad-Bhagavatam, what we hear from Bhagavad-Gita, all of the wonderful teachings that Srila Prabhupada has given us, all in order to be better sanyasis, better parents, better gurus, or maybe we should start with real sanyasis, real parents, real gurus and then once you are real then you can get better. So our intent is really to transmit that message of pure devotional service with which ultimately, na mocayed ya\u1e25 samupeta-m\u1e5btyum, you end the cycle of birth and death. Prabhupada says the only way you end it is by going home, back to Godhead.
\nAnd the purpose of I think our Leadership Sanga, the purpose was Srila Prabhupada wanted us to come here in Mayapur and chant together and hear together and glorify Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was to spend (?) in this amongst ourselves as friends, as acquaintances, as relatives, disciples, spiritual, whatever roles that we may have and when that becomes a very strong communal bond or as Srila Prabhupada, or in the previous verse it was stated in the same way as ignorant people create\u2026very interesting, create a society of envy. And Srila Prabhupada in his last days was saying this is a perfect society, no envy, no party spirit, only one goal that is praising Krishna and going back home, back to Godhead.
\nAnyway I will stop there, if any other Vaisnavas would like to make any further comments or questions before we start our first day of the Leadership Sanga.
\nJahnudvipa Das: what is the difference between the brahmana leader\u2026and a ksatriya leader administers a project like building the new temple because it seems like to be a leader for the temple project is not the same as \u2026.?? [unclear]\nSivarama Swami: The motive is the same. Why are we building this temple and those who are participating in that construction, what are we reminding them that, here we are building this adbhuta mandir which will make millions of people Krishna conscious and certainly will become Krishna conscious by participating in that project. So I don\u2019t know whether the builders are necessarily in the category of ksatriyas, there may be so many things, they are Vaisnavas doing some particular role. but what is the underlying purpose of everything, any\u0101bhil\u0101\u1e63it\u0101-\u015b\u016bnyam. So what is the any\u0101bhil\u0101\u1e63it\u0101, what is the underlying purpose and if the underlying purpose is clear in whatever we do, whether I am cooking or I am cleaning the street, then na mocayed ya\u1e25 samupeta-m\u1e5btyum. And if we are being reminded of that then we are doing our duty in a position of responsibility.
\nDravida Prabhu?
\nDravida Das: Maharaja, thank you for a very enlivening class. You made one statement as you quoted, \u0101m\u0101ra \u0101j\u00f1\u0101ya guru ha\u00f1\u0101 t\u0101ra\u2019 ei de\u015ba, that this is an order of Caitanya Mahaprabhu and this is very significant and then you said that Krishna doesn\u2019t actually order in the Bhagavad gita, that He says yathecchasi tath\u0101 kuru, but there are so many verses where He gives, man mana bhava mad bhakto, so He seems to be giving an order and although Lord Caitanya is certainly using the word, He doesn\u2019t use the words \u0101j\u00f1\u0101 in the Bhagavad-gita, but the implication is that the living entity can\u2019t also disobey that order. So how does Krishna not actually give orders in the Bhagavad-gita?
\nMaharaj: At least He is not saying I am ordering you but He certainly saying yes this is what you should do and of course He is giving alternative different things that you could do but ultimately, sarva-guhyatamam, this is the best thing to do, yathecchasi tath\u0101 kuru, and then, I just wanted to emphasize the point that as Caitanya Mahaprabhu accompanies this instruction with a very. . . this is an order which yes, you can choose to obey or disobey but recognize that this is no longer optional. This is a very strong emphatic statement by the Lord.
\nAnd so Prabhupada would say, yes saving your own country what does it mean, save your family, save your village? Prabhupada would say save your family. So guru actually means father is guru, mother is guru, ultimately brothers and sisters then become guru by ?, so it\u2019s a very all-encompassing order especially of course for those who have come to Krishna consciousness.
\nPrahladanandana Swami Maharaja?
\nPrahladanandana Swami : I think one of the differences is that in Bhagavad-gita Krishna gives so many alternatives through karma-yoga, jnana-yoga, astanga-yoga and then He says at the end you should give this all up and surrender to Me. But still the other options are there. But when Caitanya Mahaprabhu comes in this age there is no other alternative but you chant Hare Krishna and spread the sankirtana movement. Anything else wont work in this age.
\nMaharaja: Thank you. This gentlemen over here.
\nDevotee: Hare Krishna, Maharaja. As it is mentioned that, as you mentioned in your class that it is sinful if one is unable to deliver his dependents and if he takes the position of leadership but we see examples of how even despite having qualified leader, the dependents may choose not to practice bhakti. Even sometimes leaders all they can do is just show the path, I mean, they are not actively giving much siksa, or anything like that but still the dependents become serious on the path of bhakti, go back to Godhead. So how much level of purity or to what degree should the leader be able to deliver the dependents? I mean is it enough if we just show the path or should he be also in a certain stage where he can himself deliver the dependents. What does it mean?
\nSivarama Swami: The higher stage the better, but since the instruction is general and for everyone the most elevated that someone is. . . I will just read a previous verse then at least the more depth, and the more degree to which he can actually deliver or guide someone on the path of devotional service.
\nHere in the tenth verse when Lord Rsabhadeva is speaking He says, ha\u1e41se gurau mayi, which Srila Prabhupada translates in the following way, \u201cO My sons, you should accept a highly elevated paramaha\u1e41sa, a spiritually advanced spiritual master.\u201d
\nThis is the best, this is the general rule of thumb and why? Because, as Prabhupada explains in the Upadesamrta, then he can guide the disciple all the way, through all stages of devotional service. That is already guaranteed. He is already in the paramhamsa stage, so he guides the disciple to the paramhamsa stage. Nonetheless whatever platform one may be on, still the duty is to repeat that same teachings that we have received and by doing that we are at least fulfilling our duty wherever we are. So, sth\u0101ne sthit\u0101\u1e25 \u015bruti-gat\u0101\u1e41, generally Srila Prabhupada translated this as, \u201cYou don\u2019t have to go anywhere, just hear about Krishna and engage others in hearing about Krishna.\u201d
\nSimilarly sthit\u0101\u1e25, it\u2019s your particular positon, whatever your spiritual position may be, at least make sure that you understand what the basic principles of Krishna consciousness are so that you can communicate them clearly to others.
\nThis note says 8.45 am. Kaunteya Prabhu told me we could go later. Any other devotees would like to contribute.
\nDevotee: [inaudible].
\nSivarama Swami: I don\u2019t think you heard that because its not so loud but there\u2019s the responsibility here, the emphasis we\u2019ve been placing on the leader on the person who is accepting responsibility for some one else but what about those who are the dependents? There is also an onus on them. Obviously, specially if you have got a good leader and you neglect to follow that good leader, well, yathecchasi tath\u0101 kuru, but ultimately then you become subject to the laws of material nature and you will have to take the reaction for that and of course according to the level of commitment that you have already made.
\nFor instance once we make commitment to the disciplic succession through initiation that\u2019s one type of thing, when we take from someone, when we also take from a superior that taking is also a type of commitment. When a child takes from their parents being raised and maintained, being fed and clothed and housed and so many other things, there is an obligation that comes with a dependent. Same thing if a citizen is also following the king, they also have a responsibility.
\nAnd quite some months ago I read the Mahabharata, its very interesting how Yudhisthira Maharaja even when he was leaving after they lost the gambling match, the citizens wanted to revolt. First it was outrageous what Duryodhana had done and it was more outrageous that Dhritarashtra allowed such a thing to even take place.
\nAnd Yudhisthira Maharaja says, \u201cNo, if you love me then you will follow the king because the primary duty of the citizens is to follow the king.\u201d
\nThis king wasn\u2019t much of a king worth following. ut necessarily the principle was also there and therefore Yudhisthira Maharaja was emphasizing that point. And of course in due course of time those citizens got a king worthy of following which was Yudhisthira Maharaja.
\nShall we close there and let everyone take prasadam and prepare for the Sanga? Thank you so much. Hare Krishna! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

By Sivarama Swami<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cO son of Kunt\u012b, all that you do, all that you eat, all that you offer and give away, as well as all austerities that you may perform, should be done as an offering unto Me.\u201d This is bhakti. Unless one is devoted, he cannot give everything to the Supreme Lord. Unless one can do so, he cannot become a spiritual master, husband, father or mother.
