Fri May 1, 2026: “Stories from ‘Srimad Bhagavatam’” by Swami Yogatmananda

追加: 2026-05-08

[00:00:01][clears throat] Walk mama.

[00:00:50]my shanty shanty shanty.

[00:01:05]Boom.

[00:01:08]May all my limbs attain strength.

[00:01:12]May the body, the mind, all the sensory and motor organs become efficient and powerful.

[00:01:26]All is very the one without second.

[00:01:32]blissful perfect existence itself called Brahman.

[00:01:44]May I never deny Brahman.

[00:01:50]May the Brahman never reject me either.

[00:01:58]May there be no denial from my side. At least I am aware that experiencing Brahman requires inculcating certain virtues spoken of by the scriptures.

[00:02:27]May all these virtues be in my life.

[00:02:33]Oh peace, peace, peace.

[00:02:46]Let us meditate on the oneness of existence.

[00:02:58]The Brahman which is one without second, indescribable, unthinkable yet appears.

[00:03:30]as all changing forms which come and go.

[00:03:53]We can take up The analogy of a heap of ice cubes kept in warm weather.

[00:04:18]I identify myself with one ice cube.

[00:04:32]and all other ice cubes as the world.

[00:04:54]I feel I have this particular shape, this particular size.

[00:05:12]This is what I am.

[00:05:17]I form relationships with other ice cubes too.

[00:05:28]Some are seen as my parents.

[00:05:32]Some as siblings, some are friends.

[00:05:39]Some are foes and competitors.

[00:05:57]But all these shapes are changing gradually as I see Everything is melting.

[00:06:21]I see the oneness of the whole existence and then realize that even though they were not melted, they are actually intrinsically one.

[00:06:55]This realization of intrinsic oneness fills me with immense bliss.

[00:07:17]Boom. Peace.

[00:07:20]Peace.

[00:07:22]Peace.

[00:07:57]So as you can see on this slide this is 229th class of this great scripture.

[00:08:10]Shadawatam it is called not only just puran but mahapuran.

[00:08:22]So puran is the set of scriptures where uh the truth is told not just philosophically but is illustrated through many stories.

[00:08:39]so that uh we can absorb it. The question is of absorption.

[00:08:47]Most of us are not very eager to listen to philosophies, intricate things and that makes our brain dizzy very quickly.

[00:09:05]So therefore they are good for you know if we have something like insomnia, sleeplessness then take up one such book and then slowly we will you know start feeling before we can get to the second page or third page.

[00:09:32]So we are not uh basically capable of thinking of the philosophical truths for too long.

[00:09:46]I mean most of us uh but when these truths are given through stories stories is something that we like. It's a natural human instinct that we like stories, fictions, imaginations.

[00:10:08]So even though we say we should be sticking to facts, we should be uh holding on to that which is real. Yet we go into uh that state where we seek fiction.

[00:10:34]That is why fictions are read most.

[00:10:39]Uh it is because there is this scope for imagination. there is this scope for expansion and thus we get quickly absorbed in stories and thus keep on thinking on the line of that story.

[00:10:57]So any uh very well written story. It is an art to write uh stories in such a way that they create interest and one starts [snorts] uh imagining identifying with the characters of that story and we keep on moving along with the line of the story and what happens is as soon starts you you know being felt as real and they in spite of ourselves some of the message that is conveyed through their stories get into us. So uh this is a technique that is used by the sages to instill uh some of the great truths of uh one's life and what we see. So let us begin at the beginning means with the opening chants.

[00:12:09]The opening chant here gives the it is not moving.

[00:12:30]It is okay. It has at least I don't know whether you moved it or >> huh.

[00:12:46]>> Now it is working. Okay. Okay. That is the usual Microsoft thing. You know you restart and then things appear to restart.

[00:13:09]heart.

[00:13:24]Fore that from whom creation, sustenance and dissolution of the universe take place.

[00:13:52]Who is both the instrumental and material cause of it who is omnisient is the only one having selfmastery being the one independent entity who illumin the mind of Brahma with the vic revelation whose wisdom is the wonder of even the greatest sages in whom the world of the three gadas subsist just as the combination of mater Materials like fire, water and earth subsist in their causes without changing their elemental nature. In whose consciousness there is nothing false on that truth supreme we meditate.

[00:14:41]So this is the topic you know the truth supreme it is. Can you read those uh different letters there?

[00:14:55]So this is the style of the this puranas being story you know they uh give you the lineages we are connected like uh when it is asked who are you then you tell they oh I am this somebody's son somebody's grandson then people Who was the father of your grandfather?

[00:15:29]Then again they tell some name. So we have lineages.

[00:15:35]Uh somebody traces here uh our one gentleman who comes sometimes here from upstate New York traces his lineage from that big ship coming from England Mayflower you know so the Mayflower he arrived in this ship Mayflower our his ancestors.

[00:16:07]So you trace some very well-known thing and then you trace your roots there. So this is how uh we see the lineage and these are called the panchalas.

[00:16:27]uh till the last class. Now we are meeting after about 50 days for this bhagawatam class. So last was the compassionate rant story. Uh he was king. uh but he wanted to uh get the sufferings of everyone around people suffer. So if you somebody wants to make them free from sufferings. Now where will the sufferings go?

[00:17:10]So there must be some place for suffering.

[00:17:14]As a king, he would request that let all the sufferings of all people let them come to me and thus let people all become free from suffering.

[00:17:31]So a very noble story. Uh it is one of Sri Ramak Krishna's disciples Swami Kandanand he used to love this story that uh wherever there is misery suffering he would serve those people saying that let their sufferings come to me so so that they become free from suffering. So uh now there is this uh continuation of that that it is uh this is the son of this this is the son of this or daughter of this he was married to this person then like that the stories continue uh while as a compulsion of the format that these stories are given. Uh we will kind of skip most of it because they do not really matter to people these days. Uh they don't have time to remember these names.

[00:18:55]Uh I cannot remember all these names.

[00:18:58]Let me frankly admit. uh so but uh at one point yes they create some interest that how these people are related to each other.

[00:19:13]So uh we will just this is for information panchalas uh that became a a lineage uh it is that and the important figures that come there uh in later time is uh like dupa king dupada and draupadi so then the dupa's sonishna.

[00:19:45]So uh this is one lineage and then the other was uh the king a midha. Uh then they became the he became the forefather of what later on got known very that word is well known guru uh from which there are kuravas and one branch of this kowuravas uh became pandawas and kowuravas and pandawas they were cousins uh the Korava is the main clan.

[00:20:28]Uh so sometimes uh Arjuna also is called in Bhagat Gita you will see as Kurushta because that is the main clan. Pandawas amongst the gurus there was one king Pandu and the Pandu's sons therefore got called as pandawas.

[00:20:56]So it is like that. So kuru the kowavas they occupy a great place in uh the ancient Indian history. So whole Mahabharata revolves around this story of Koravas and Pandawas. And then amongst these koravas there is a very funny uh in a way but this is how they again you will find in puranas the births of uh people uh you don't find always the normal birth I had told earlier one gentleman he was a professor uh in a college professor of literature and he uh came to the our library there and said that I want to read the Mahabharata completely uh in original and in Marati translation.

[00:22:14]So he started borrowing uh the volumes big volumes. So he took the first volume and after a couple of weeks he said well I am so surprised in this whole story you don't find a single being as such who is born naturally.

[00:22:41]Somebody gets born in a cup. Uh somebody just comes from a tree. Uh somebody is born of sun and so forth. So all very strange.

[00:22:57]Well, that is why it is all interesting.

[00:23:00]Otherwise, if the regular facts then who is interested in that? We know all of it. But something strange then that catches the eyes. In journalism that famous saying goes that it is dog biting a man is not a news because that is the nature of the dog.

[00:23:27]But if a man bites a dog then it is something worthy of being a news. So these are all strange stories.

[00:23:40]Moreover, they also you see that uh the birth that is normally known is not the only way of birth.

[00:23:52]Nowadays also there are so many uh in recent history uh so many ways that the a person gets bored there is nowadays you see there is the discussion of uh man and woman there is the moment of independence So a man and woman don't need to come together to produce progeny. One of them could be enough.

[00:24:32]So uh you don't need to have parents.

[00:24:39]Uh one parent could be enough.

[00:24:43]Very funny ideas. But you see here also uh this story of Jarasandha is another of them that Jarasandha I'll read from here that uh Rishabha's story is going on. Rishabha's son was Satya.

[00:25:10]His son uh was Pushpawan and his son Juu.

[00:25:18]By another wife uh Briad Brihadrata had a child who was born with a body split in two.

[00:25:32]Split in two. The body uh we say right half, left half. Uh we have one eye on this side, another on this side, two nostrils, one on this side and another side, two lungs, uh and all that, you know. So imagine two legs. If you draw a line in the middle and make that split like that.

[00:25:59]So there was this split into.

[00:26:04]So this splitting in two uh the naturally the mother was horrified when the birth took place. They and so she uh the split halves of the body were thrown out by the mother uh because this would be strange and it would be how to make that little one grow. So the mother threw away uh that but a demon demonous. So the uh word it is used here is uh that uh that J. So this was uh split into two.

[00:27:10]Uh they one demoness there uh got that and then she started uh praying may these two come together and become alive.

[00:27:29]And thus the child became alive. And this is used you know later on in Mahabharata.

[00:27:37]Jarasandha was a big very powerful demon and sa means that it is connecting together. The two halves were as it were stitched together.

[00:27:54]A special type of surgery. In surgery they broken finger then you stitch it together and then somebody that uh the broken leg another leg is put there everything is stitched together very intricate.

[00:28:14]It is said that well one very it is a fiction and that one surgeon was very very skillful and what he did he saw a train going on a person and only the lower half was crushed. The head was fine. So now he started looking if he can get somebody's uh this lower part the head is there to which he can stitch that lower part. Uh but could not find quickly but saw a cow uh the uh cow's head was crushed the other parts were there. So, uh, he very quickly sprung into action and stitched that head with the other part of the cacao.

[00:29:20]So, somebody asked, "Then did that thing survive?"

[00:29:26]Well, yes. Yes, this fellow survived. He goes to work and also gives milk. So, [laughter] it is So this is the two parts were stitched together like that and this he became very enical to Krishna uh being a demon he was summoned by Krishna's this maternal uncle who was told his name was counselor was told that yeah you will meet death with one of the little ones by your own sister.

[00:30:14]So counc therefore put them that story you know how Krishna was born in the prison.

[00:30:22]So but counsical to Krishna tried to attack and so forth but then Krishna killed Jarasandha not himself uh Krishna was very diplomatic you know he Jarasandanda was very powerful and then on the other side there was Bhimma one of the Pandawas Bhimma he also was very powerful both were uh expert wrestlers and very proud of their wrestling skills so uh it was that thought that let uh he be tempted to have a wrestling bout with Bhimma and so uh there was a wrestling arranged.

[00:31:31]Jarasandha very powerful and Bhimma also was equally powerful. Krishna was watching and as this story goes uh Bhimma uh split this Jarasandha into two such house. uh he uh just tore him into two pieces but was horrified to see the two halves coming together and joining again.

[00:32:10]A few times he did like that and was frustrated to see that the fellow again is ready to fight.

[00:32:20]So Krishna what he did was he took uh that one small stem of a grassroot and then that grass stem was split into two. But then he didn't throw them like this. The one on the right he threw it on the left side and the one on the left he threw on the right side. Now they could not come together and join properly.

[00:32:54]If it is like this they could join but if they are thrown like that now that doesn't come together properly.

[00:33:02]So Darasandha was thus got killed. So this is uh but before being killed he was a very powerful person. Uh then we will move to the story here. Uh you can see this picture these slides are made by that joti because yesterday evening I came from India. Uh so before coming I knew it would be difficult for me to uh make the slides. So I requested joti can you make some slides and she obliged. So you see that uh slide that how Krishna gave him the sign that uh to you have to put one on this side another on this side. So and Bhimma did accordingly and that caused the death of Jarasandha.

[00:34:03]Uh Madha is uh one of the central regions uh in India called nowadays called Bihar. So uh this was that was called mugada. So uh now comes this important story how the clan of this korawas began. Uh there was uh one king shantom.

[00:34:34]So he was actually the second son and as per tradition the first son would get the kingdom. So this story goes that it is uh that it is uh this uh Shantanu was the actually the younger brother of Dwapi.

[00:35:10]So Dewapi uh the He had no interest in running a kingdom.

[00:35:19]He became a recluse and went away. And so Shantanu succeeded as the king. But there was this uh problem came up that there was no reigns in that kingdom for 12 long years.

[00:35:42]So it was uh people were suffering uh why there are no rains. Uh it is given there that Indra is the deity uh who uh controls the reigns. [snorts] So this idea comes in Krishna's life also that he withheld the uh rain or sends the torrent of rains. This is the interesting aspect there is that everything has uh a conscious entity connected with that and like you see this piece of flesh bones and all that.

[00:36:34]Uh but there is some conscious principle that makes it act. Uh therefore you see this is speaking moving hands and everything like that. There is consciousness uh pervading everything and according to that consciousness the matter seems to be making movements. So uh this is the understanding of the the Hindus books, Hindu scriptures that each act that you see they are natural acts but then still [snorts] there is the conscious particularized entity associated with every particular thing.

[00:37:28]Every particular thing there is a conscious entity that works with it and thus you know the rains come because of the cycle of that water cycle that we learn but there is the the conscious principle that governs it. So uh every single atom also has a particularization that is this atom is separate from that atom.

[00:38:02]This morning we were having a conversation that uh one of our devotees said that well uh she would get reborn like this and somebody suggested get liberated now even after liberation then I want to come back.

[00:38:24]Then I asked what is coming back? You know after liberation you have say Water in a small spoon.

[00:38:38]Now it is water in a small spoon also.

[00:38:41]There is you can have water and there could be a big tank in which there is water. The water is same.

[00:38:51]The shapes of the receptacles or the holders of that water are different.

[00:38:58]So water here and water there uh they are actually identical but then what is liberation means one's identification with that small piece of flesh blood and so forth bones uh that is gone.

[00:39:23]It is like this particular flesh bones and then I called myself but it is actually changing all the time. I drank a little water just before the class. Now that water earlier was not called I. Now that water gets called as I. Uh it is in this way you know everything changing somehow has association with something unchanging.

[00:39:57]That just try to think of it. It's a very interesting and very important principle friends that everything that changes whatever we see is changing.

[00:40:12]In fact seeing itself is changed.

[00:40:17]So it is changing and yet does it feel unchanging.

[00:40:25]I feel that the same Danny is sitting here that I saw about 50 days 60 days ago. Same Danny is sitting here.

[00:40:38]So it is same Paul is sitting here. I'm and this fellow is also the same uh that came went to India about 50 days ago and came back to yesterday is the same.

[00:40:55]No, they are not same as flesh, blood, everything that is all changing. You know bones they change every particle is changing.

[00:41:08]It is in flux. And yet why does it appear to be unchanging?

[00:41:15]You cannot point out that which is unchanging. Although we see it, we know it and we are sure that I am the same person.

[00:41:29]And yet there is nothing.

[00:41:33]You cannot bring this is same here. You cannot show. But there is uh this is a constant awareness in spite of uh everything changing. Just think of this very strange inexplicable principle, unexplainable.

[00:41:56]Uh and yet we see this.

[00:42:01]It is a big mystery, unsolvable mystery, unsolvable in principle.

[00:42:12]It is however you try it will remain unsolvable.

[00:42:19]That why everything is changing and yet we have the feeling a feeling that cannot go away. An awareness that it is unchanging is a mixture of change and unchange.

[00:42:38]In 13th chapter of Bhagat Gita there is a great discussion on this uh it is that the connection of the changing and unchanging and superimposition of one on another.

[00:42:59]So therefore that which is changing gets superimposed by something that does not change and therefore we feel the same that and yet it is changing. The analogy given is very interesting like those flipflop uh slippers.

[00:43:23]So uh one somebody said I am using the same for last 20 years. Uh every 6 months the flaps would be changed. After 6 months the soul would be changed. So what is a flip-flop? Either those top flaps or the soul. So they are being changed every 6 months and then we still have this awareness that it is the same one. Uh the components kept on getting changed. Um the a wooden chair uh same chair the person was sitting but uh now and then the some leg would break and then another leg would be substituted there. So like that all the four legs were changed. Then the seat part that also uh need to be changed. So that also was changed. The back also had to be changed. So now what is a chair?

[00:44:36]Uh but same chair you know somehow that sameness uh remained.

[00:44:43]This is the same person. What is same?

[00:44:45]Think of it uh over uh you can see the change in a long time but yet the idea of same does not go away.

[00:44:59]Uh so the same there is something that is same that gets super imposed on that which is by very nature changing.

[00:45:13]There is no constancy there and separating them and understanding them their combination is uh the way for liberation. So that I told that lady suppose you have this spoon of water one spoonful of water and you put it in a huge tank of water.

[00:45:38]Now, can you take out the same spoon of spoonful of water from that big tank?

[00:45:46]Can you take it out?

[00:45:49]Well, what is the same there?

[00:45:52]Everything is all gone. You will not be able to sing that this is that particular molecule of water that has now gone from here to there. No, there is nothing same. So this is uh the very important idea there that it is the lineage the sameness somehow we feel it.

[00:46:24]So it is this uh Indra has been uh thought of as the consciousness behind this phenomena of rain that is observed.

[00:46:40]The spirit that is behind it uh is not observed but it is there just as the spirit in any person you cannot observe it but you are sure it is there. So uh this is called indra and heheld reigns.

[00:47:07]Why? Uh there was then the uh a special ritual was arranged to find out why there are no rains. Then it was told to the king Ashantu that oh the point is that your elder brother should have become king and instead of him you became the king that is not proper and therefore restored the kingdom to him.

[00:47:40]But so Shantanu sent his emisseries to his elder brother and requesting him to assume As long as Shantanu is the king, they had their positions.

[00:48:06]When the new person comes, uh the new uh team will be installed like when a new president gets elected uh all those secretaries and others their position also is gone. So therefore these ministers of the king they uh created some confusion in the uh mind of this Dwapi who was made to uh abuse uh criticize the scriptures and because of his vocal criticism of the scriptures years he could not assume the kingdom. So Shantanu remained the king but now the Indra did not withhold the reigns and everywhere then there was prosperity.

[00:49:12]Now Shantano uh his name became Shantanu because he Shanti and Shant means the Anu means the that which is followed. So peace followed him the kingdom everythingbody things were all very peaceful.

[00:49:37]uh the uh Ganges flew through that region. Now also it flows. In fact that is how uh they tried to locate where this ancient kingdom of Koravas was. Uh that is uh that Kuruketra and there the Ganges flows through that whole region. So Shantanu went to Ganges. Again there is this spirit there is a river but it is associated with some consciousness which is female.

[00:50:17]The body is female. The body has shape.

[00:50:23]Consciousness unless associated with the body has no shape.

[00:50:31]when you confuse with the consciousness with the shape like the consciousness of Abijit gets associated with a particular form of Aijit.

[00:50:45]So therefore somebody else will not respond to this name Aijit.

[00:50:54]Hey Abijit if I ask he will feel confused. What is this? uh they if you think the matter uh is just different heap that's all same material but kept in different heaps so in one heap again those heaps are changing they are not same uh when say for example when they look at each other the matter gets changed like in the uh deserts you have sand dunes, you know, big heaps of sand.

[00:51:35]But uh you see a huge heap today and tomorrow morning if you come the heap is gone because the winds have blown all the sand here and there and at another place the heap gets created. Oh this heap you you have in your mind that connection. same heap the sand could be very different and yet you say oh the heap that was there has come here so that is how this Ganga Ganges has a spirit water is flowing all the time but then that uh in the form of a very pretty woman that river appeared and Shantanu fell in love with that uh girl, the Ganga.

[00:52:33]And the Ganga uh she he requested her to uh marry to be married with him and she said well she moves.

[00:52:46]So uh I she said I will not be with you for too long.

[00:52:55]Is it but Shantanu said okay for whatever time you know I get with you I will be happy with that. So they got married without much ceremony and then a son was born. He was famous Bishma.

[00:53:17]Bishma is that it is his name was Davata also Davata Bishma. So he was known later for his uh valor in battle and tremendous truthfulness and devotion to Lord. So very devoted. We will see this story here that uh in that lineage that uh uh another uh that gradually this story moves. Shantanu got another uh girl in his life.

[00:54:10]uh he she was the daughter of a fisherman.

[00:54:16]And so whatever community you live with, your body carries that smell.

[00:54:28]Therefore, our teluxes is house we like the all the Indian cooking you know. So it has its own fragrance around. Uh it is the Indians may call it fragrance. The others who are not accustomed to it we would call odor.

[00:54:50]So it is uh so that that lady although tremendously attractive uh and attraction depends on one's attitude of mind you know that it is when you are attracted to something then that automatically appears very pretty and beautiful.

[00:55:16]The person is never intrinsically pretty pretty for somebody like the for the mother the baby is always very pretty even for pigs mother the the little piglets they are very very pretty. So for a human being they may not appear very pretty but so the prettiness is not in that person as such. When you get attracted to somebody uh then that person starts being felt as very pretty and one gets uh tremendously attracted.

[00:56:06]So at that time the the smells and all such things they get pushed away.

[00:56:16]So uh Shantanu got very much attracted all to this girl and he requested that girl's father to for the hand of this and they bargaining happens you know this is all bargain. So it is uh the girl said well I can marry you but you have another son also from other wife. So he should not become king. My son would become king.

[00:56:58]Now again my eye mine all plays very big roles. You know my son must become king not your other son.

[00:57:09]And then Shantanu was thinking about it.

[00:57:14]But that other son Bishma [clears throat and cough] he came to the rescue of his father he assured that well it is I promise that I will never ascend a throne. Let my father's wish of having uh you as his consort be fulfilled. So uh but the she wanted this her name became mats gandha because mats means fish you know so and she was smelling fish so it is so muts gandha but the king was so much involved with in her they so whatever conditions she was putting at that time They were fulfilled not by the king himself but by Bishma.

[00:58:21]She said okay you won't become king but what about your children that my keeps on getting extended you know stretched stretched that I then my proeni then that proeni it is that is an unending thing that never ends that is why it is called sanssara in Sanskrit Sanssara means that keeps on extending.

[00:58:58]So extending and vanishing and becoming new all the time. One gets caught in that. So she asked Bishma, "What about your progeny?"

[00:59:12]So Bishma said, "Okay, I assure you that I will not even marry."

[00:59:19]So and he lived up to those pleasures.

[00:59:23]So even now when somebody makes takes a wow it is compared to Bishma's vows that okay this is my wow and I will be unflinchingly holding to this wow. So uh that is the story of Bishma. We shall continue with the uh further story of uh uh this uh shantanu uh it is but in the next class the shantanu the korawas uh and pandawas uh and then soon this would be over uh and The 10th scandha will begin which is the considered heart of Bhagwatam because it narrates the story of Krishna completely. So let us now uh conclude with this beautiful verse from this is the third verse of this Bhagwatam. The opening chant is the first verse and the concluding chant is the third verse.

[01:00:48]Fore! Foreign! Foreign!

[01:01:08]Oh devotees, quaff waff to intoxication.

[01:01:14]This nectar of the fruit of the tree of Vedas flowing from the mouth of the great s shuka and mixed with the ambrosia from his words.

[01:01:28]Any questions? Has anybody has any question?

[01:01:39]You have a question. Rajie. Okay. She has a question.

[01:01:45]>> Maharaj, you said um there is a consciousness that's associated with any phenomena. every phenomena every uh what we call an object object and the interaction of the objects becomes a phenomena.

[01:02:05]>> So for Ganges you said for Ganges >> you said um that dity Ganga the consciousness took the form of a female.

[01:02:17]>> Yeah.

[01:02:17]>> And she was Ganga. So can that same consciousness take a form of man or any other entity also or why is it always a female? [laughter] >> Well, it is that is how the association goes. You know the the object changes but the conscious association that we make with that object it remains the same.

[01:02:45]And that is how uh something that gets associated with uh the female name or female idea. The object changes but that female association continues.

[01:03:08]It is and so uh there is no woman as such there but the awareness is that of woman. It is like painting you know the same lines put in one way would look like a woman.

[01:03:25]The same lines adjusted differently uh that looks like a man isn't it?

[01:03:34]So it is like that that some uh in India there are two rivers big rivers which are male others rivers are all uh female forms.

[01:03:55]Uh it is the for example the Sindu the two that are famous one is Sindhu another is shown they have male forms [snorts] and all others have female forms. So that is how the association is. Now what is Ganges? The waters keep on changing isn't it? And that is why it is river.

[01:04:23]The water keeps on changing. The banks also uh they undergo a lot of change. Uh so what is the river?

[01:04:35]Just an awareness.

[01:04:38]Nobody takes water from the same river.

[01:04:43]It changes. And yet there is that is what is the very inexplicable unexplainable phenomena that how something gets continuously changing and yet gets the feeling of being unchanging.

[01:05:03]So that is how this any other question.

[01:05:11]Any question upstairs?

[01:05:14]So let us uh conclude with the this chant.

[01:05:32]M honor.

[01:05:58]Hurry, hurry.

[01:06:02]Hurry, hurry.

[01:06:05]Krishna Krishna.

[01:06:12]Krishna Krishna.

[01:06:15]Krishna Krishna.

[01:06:19]Mo [singing] go in the bowl.

[01:06:28]M hool.
