This is a talk given by Master K. Parvathi Kumar on 16th August 2003 at Tapovan, Bangalore.

(INTRODUCTION TO SRIMAD BHAGAVATHAM)

Srimad Bhagavatha is the ultimate of the Vedic wisdom and for this yuga, the Vedic wisdom is once again given out in the simplest way by the grandest of the seers who is no other than Vishnurupa (embodiment of Vishnu) and who has been a very high soul. He systematised the Vedic knowledge, classified the Vedas and hence is called Vedavyasa. His original name is Krishna Dvaipayana. He is one of the three Krishnas or one Krishna in three bodies. They are: Lord Krishna himself, the seer, Krishna Dvaipayana and Krishna as the power and beauty of the time, Draupadi. Mahabharata describes three Krishnas. One is the Lord and another is a dimension of the Lord as the seer and yet another, a dimension of the Lord as beauty and power. Vedavyasa must be remembered whenever we think of Vedic knowledge be it Vedas, Vedangas, Brahmasutras or Puranas, Mahabharatha, Bhagavad-Gita and ultimately Srimad Bhagavatha.

Bhagavatha was the ultimate initiation to Vedavyasa and he in turn gave out the entire scheme of Bhagavatha to Sri Suka, his son and to his followers as it revealed to him at the culmination of his incarnation for that time. Bhagavatha is the ultimate doctrine of synthesis, a doctrine that gives the simplest practice of experiencing the Divine at any time and in any moment. The 'Presence' is the fundamental principle when it comes to Bhagavatha. Bhagavatha was the initiation received by Vedavyasa from Maharshi Narada and that was not the first time that Bhagavatha initiation happened. Bhagavatha was initially given out by Lord Narayana to the Chaturmukha Brahma, the four faced Creator and Srimad Bhagavatha also mentions it. That the secret of Bhagavatha-Marga, (the path of Bhagavatha) was first given out by the Lord Narayana that is the Lord beyond creation, to the Creator when the Creator was finding difficulties in creating. As Chaturmukha Brahma practiced and stood stable in the Presence of the Lord, the creation happened through him. He was made to realise that in spite of he being the Creator he is only a medium for the creation to happen and that it is the ONE beyond the Creator who uttered forth the whole creation through the Creator. The Creator remained the utterer; the Lord absolute is essentially the utterance. So the utterance itself prepared its vehicle, the utterer and uttered forth itself as creation. Thus it is the ONE who uttered forth himself as creation, including the Creator. The Lord uttered forth Himself as the Creator and the creation.

We utter, provided there is the Word in us. If there is no Word there is no uttering forth. This microphone by itself cannot transmit any word. This is the exoteric microphone. The throat is the esoteric microphone. Through that the uttering forth is happening. Before the word reaches the throat it exists as AUM. Unuttered AUM in the form of exhalation. Before it existed in the form of exhalation it existed as inhalation, before it became inhalation and entered through your nostrils it is there all over. That which is all over enters through the nostrils becomes inhalation and through exhalation when it crosses through the throat it utters forth itself into letters, into words, into sentences, into discourses, into scriptures and into so many details. That is how the One beyond utters forth Himself. All that comes out of Itself remained to be its vehicle. At best it can cease to be the vehicle. So even the Creator is uttered forth to utter.

The Creator is uttered forth by Narayana from out of his navel. The navel gave birth to a stem, the stem gave birth to a globe, the globe blossomed into a lotus, and in that lotus we find Chaturmukha. It's a profound symbolism. We don't get into it now. Narayana uttered forth himself as the Creator. The Creator wanted to know 'who am I' as he came out. That is why we are also asked to contemplate upon 'Who am I'. The Creator found himself sitting in a lotus surrounded by water. Everywhere there is water. Water here means ethers, the boundless ethers. From out of this ether there is a sprout and from out the sprout he is born. He wanted to go into the sprout and see where he came from. When he got into the waters, through the sprout, he got frightened of the abundance of the waters (ethers). He thought it is safer for him to be afloat in the lotus than to get into the boundless ocean of the ethers. He postponed the question, 'Who am I?' Then he got the question 'what am I to do?' He got the answer, 'tapa'. So he went on doing tapas (penance). As he went on doing penance he turned inward and found the source of his being. He understood that he is none other than THAT. So he came back with the answer 'That I Am'. So when he came back with the answer 'That I Am, Verily THAT as I Am', then came again the question 'What am I to do?' Then came the answer from within, 'Create'. He started creating. Not by himself. He became a channel to THAT and verily THAT came out as all this. This is how the initial initiation happened to the Creator. As long as the Creator remained in the Presence of THAT (THAT in English is equivalent to tat in Sanskrit) things happened well. Whenever he was out of the Presence things did not happen well. If that is the case with the Creator, you and I cannot be better off, without being in the Presence. We too have to be in THAT, if things have to proceed well. The whole scheme (the Plan of creation) runs from THAT. You can be a watchful, observant to witness and experience the splendor of all that happens through you. A part in you does, while another part in you witnesses and enjoys. If you settle only in the doing part, you remain as labourer. You can enjoy the splendor. You need to settle in that part where you remain an observer, while the other part responds to the world. The observer is the Insider. The doer is the outsider. The insider resides in the Anthakarana. While the outsider lives in objective mind, senses, body and surrounding environment, i.e., Bahir Karana. As you learn to sit in the inner chamber, you perceive the Lord's work and let it flow through you. If you sit in the outer chamber, you get into illusion, entangled, confused and bound. The Creator realised this and settled in the Presence. Thus the Creator himself is the first disciple and the first medium to this philosophy of Bhagavatha.

This philosophy was once again given by the Creator to his mind born son Narada. The Creator has five mind born sons in all. They are Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatkumara and Sanatsujatha and there is fifth one, Narada. Please remember, Narada is the universal teacher. He is the ultimate one to bless before we reach the Brahman. Just like we think of Lord Maitreya as the teacher for this humanity on this globe, there is a hierarchy on every planet and then there is the head of the hierarchy of that planet and then there is the hierarchy for the solar system. There is also a hierarchy for the groups of solar systems and Narada heads it. One cannot imagine what Narada is. He is the teacher of all teachers, the universal teacher. He is embodiment of knowledge. He exists is us as the cosmic principle of knowing. The seeker's hunger to know is his blessing. The hunger is satiated only when one knows. He pervades the whole path of knowing. He presides over Bhakti, Jnana, Vairagya and Yoga dimensions. The Lord himself pronounces that, I am Narada among the seekers.

Devarshi Narada received the initiation from the Creator, while other four are accomplished even before, i.e., in the earlier Kalpas. There where knowers even in the preceding creation and once again manifested to cooperate with the present creation. They are the most higher Souls in the Plan of creation. Vedavyasa could classify the Vedas, elaborate Vishnupurana into 17 other Puranas, write commentaries on Brahmasutras, give out all the laws of creation and the eternal dharmas that run the creation through the Panchamaveda called Mahabharatha of which Bhagavad- Gita is a part. He was still not happy! He was finding himself not fulfilled! Imagine how could that happen to a man, to a seer who has done such stupendous work for the posterity. He was not feeling fulfilled. He was not contented. That was the time when Narada came and gave out the secret of Bhagavatha.

Narada advised : see everything as Vishnu. All this form is Vishnu and all that behaves through the form, the force that expresses itself through the form is Vasudeva and the source of the force and of the form is Narayana. See the whole creation as Vishnu in these three layers. Then you find the beauty of variety of the ONE who is acting in million ways and is presenting himself in millions and millions of forms. If you see everything from the divine standpoint then you would remain in divine ecstasy. You would stand in divine romance. It is that ONE who is present in the form of Krishna. You haven't seen him with that eye. You have been seeing things in terms of Cosmic, Solar and Planetary principles. You have narrated the cosmic principles, the solar principles, the planetary principles, the principles that function through humans, through devas and through varieties of kingdoms of Nature. All that is okay but you haven't seen the ONE as all these and that ONE can also be present amidst all these. It can also take directly to flesh and blood and live amidst us! You haven't seen Him enough. You haven't seen the whole creation in HIM. You have seen the creation from a scientific standpoint. You haven't seen the artistic presentation of the Lord and how skillfully he can himself be present amidst us not to be recognised, identified or located even by seers.

Thus Narada opens the eye (of comprehension) and asks Vedavyasa to see with his (Narada's) eye, where he finds the whole creation as Krishna. Until then his comprehension of Krishna was different. After Narada's initiation his comprehension was complete and total. That is why if you see certain narrations in Mahabharata and the narrations in Srimad Bhagavatha, written by the same grand seer Vedavyasa, there is a difference. At the time of Bheemasena's encounter with Jarasanda, Mahabharata it is written that Bheema was wrestling with Jarasanda and all the technicalities of wrestling are very well presented in the book. And ultimately Krishna gave a hint to Bheemasena. And Bheemasena won over and killed Jarasanda with the hint received from Lord Shri Krishna. This is how it is mentioned in Mahabharata. But when it comes to Bhagavatha, it is mentioned that the Lord attracts the attention of Bheemasena who was wrestling with Jarasanda and not only gives the hint through the piece of grass, but while looking into the eyes of Bheemasena he also transmits his energy to Bheemasena and it is because of that energy, he could kill Jarasanda! That could not be seen before by Vedavyasa. Likewise when it comes to saving the lady Draupadi in the Royal court from the shame of dhartarastras in Mahabharata, it was said that Panchali (Draupadi) was praying to the Lord Krishna for help and she was saved through eternal supply of sarees. But when it comes to Bhagavatha, Vedavyasa himself visualises that it is Lord Krishna himself though engaged in a war with a diabolic, listens to the prayer of Draupadi and visualises what was happening to Draupadi. While fighting with the demon he transmits protection to Draupadi. That is how in many events Vedavyasa sees the invisible hand of Lord Krishna which is subtly present in all the accomplishments of Pandavas, which was not so when he described Mahabharata. If you read mahabharata and bhagavatha you find the subtle difference that happened in between to the grand seer vedavyasa. this subtle difference is but a big difference.

Vedavyasa could see the hand of the Lord in any and every activity, ever since the Initiation. Earlier he was seeing the whole activity technically. To see a man, as a man of rajas, as a man of tamas and as a man of satva is technical way of seeing. To see the Lord himself as Vasudeva functioning through rajas, through tamas and through satva would link you up to the Lord but not to the qualities of Nature. When you see the qualities of Nature, missing the Lord, you become judgmental. When you see a lazy fellow standing in the Presence of Vasudeva. What happens to you? You do not see the quality of laziness in him. You see the Presence of the Lord, instead. In people who behave well you see well-behaved people and in others you see badly behaving people. But when it comes to Bhagavatha dimension, you see the same force. In a person of good behavior and in a person of bad behavior it is the same force functioning. If the flame burns in this particular manner (shows the lamp) you call it lamp. If the flame increases its dimension and burns all over, what do you call it? You call it wild fire, forest fire, horrible fire. Isn't it? But it is fire. So if you see the Presence of the Lord as force, then you don't see the qualities. When you don't see the qualities, the qualities don't affect you. If you see the qualities of the people those qualities affect you because what you see affects you. Again many times what you see is what is in you. So that which is in you is stimulated by seeing the qualities. Don't see the qualities, see Vasudeva.

Vasudeva is the force that functions in every form. Vishnu is the Presence of the Lord as any form and every form. Narayana is the basis both for the force and also for the form. One would either see the form or the functioning of the form. That's all what we see. We see the behaviors of the people and their forms as well. The behavior is in great variety. The Lord behaves in innumerable ways. He plays in so many roles. Even the seers cannot praise the varieties of roles in which He behaves. The behavioral force is nothing but the admixture of tamas, rajas and satva . If satva is more you find a sadhu, a saint, a sage, a seer, a savant. If rajas is more you find Ravana, Hiranyakashipu and such other lot. If tamas is more you find Kumbhakarna, Ajagara and such other people. The whole activity is nothing but a recipe of the three qualities. But beyond the three qualities the one dweller of the creation, Vasudeva exists. That's why Bhagavad-Gita says, vasudevassarvamiti. It's a statement, which is uttered forth by Vedavyasa himself in Bhagavad- Gita. (13:11) The beauty is, Vedavyasa unconsciously recorded, in many places especially in Bhagavad-Gita, the principle of Presence. More than 35 times he expresses slokas relating to the instruction of Presence. The doctrine of Presence is intermittently presented in Bhagavad- Gita. I have collected all those slokas. One day you will find it in a book form. Many times the Lord says in Bhagavad-Gita, Recollect me in all THAT IS; Enter into me; Settle your mind in me; Your buddhi in me; Staying in me you conduct your work; Do not come out of my Presence, If you stand out of my Presence you are in illusion. So this kind of knowledge of the eternal Presence is recollected once again by Narada to Vedavyasa and that is Bhagavatha. Knowing is one thing. Realising is another thing. Knowledge when experienced results in Bhakti. This Bhakti is Ananya-Bhakti. The knower turned Bhakta thereafter sees no other than Him in all that is. It always happened through a Guru or Teacher. Vedavyasa knew the unity of all That Is and Its expression as many. But he did not realise until he received the magical touch of Narada. To know about a Mango fruit is one thing. To eat and experience is another and all together a different thing. Thus Bhagavatha propounds the system of Master & Disciple, Guru & Chela, Teacher & Student. We should remember that a lighted candle can kindle another candle. For a candle to kindle by itself is difficult. This is called Initiation, Upadesa. It happened to Vedavyasa through Narada.

So from Lord Narayana to the Creator, Bhagavatha was discoursed. The initiation of Bhagavatha happened. And from the Creator to his mind born son, Narada Bhagavatha was once again initiated. And Narada initiated Vedavyasa, Vedavyasa initiated Suka, Maharshi Suka initiated Parikshith, the king of Kurur. That is how there is one hierarchy of the seers of the path of Bhagavatha. Bhagavatha Hierarchy is Narayana, Chaturmukha Brahma, Narada, Vedavyasa, Sukha and Parikshith. That is one hierarchy. If there is a hierarchy, it facilitates the process if enlightenment. But the Lord need not necessarily function through the hierarchy. He can function independent of the hierarchy or through the hierarchy. The Hierarchy cannot bind the Lord. The Lord himself once again gave Bhagavatha to Lord Maitreya! That is how Krishna initiated straight away Maitreya into the path of Bhagavatha, into the path of Presence, of synthesis. In fact this path of synthesis was given by Parasara both to Vedavyasa and Maitreya. But somehow it was not the time to be. Neither of them got initiated into it. So Narada had to redo it for Vedavyasa and Lord Krishna did it for Maitreya, and Maitreya gave it to Vidura. So that is another Hierarchy of Bhagavatha.

The stories relating to the varieties of initiations that happened in terms of the doctrine of Bhagavatha are given out in the scripture Srimad Bhagavatha. And all those who have accomplished this Presence through practice are the only ones that are mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatha. The great initiates of Bhagavatha are called the world disciples. They have remained in the Presence of the Lord at all times to come, i.e., for eternity. At times of difficulties; at times of crisis; at times of sorrow; at times of pleasure; at times of splendor; at times of depression; at all times, without exception they remained in the Presence of the Lord and thus continue to be. They exist thus for eternity. They remain Immortal and Divine. Such ones are mentioned in the scripture Bhagavatha and they form the hierarchy of Bhagavatha.

The stories relating to them are to be studied to reaffirm ourselves the truth of the eternal Presence. This doctrine of eternal Presence that is once again explained in the book Mandrajala, 'Music of the soul' by Master EK. The teaching of Bhagavatha is trying to live in the Presence of the Lord. And the one accomplished is called a Bhagavatha. He is an embodiment of 'Bhagavat-tattva', Lord himself in the form of Bhagavatha Purusha . A Bhagavatha Purusha remains to be a medium of the Lord. He no more lives for himself. He has no life for himself. The Lord lives and he experiences the Presence of the Lord in him. He experiences the acts of the Lord through him. He extols the grand acts that the Lord conducts through him. He remains in him. The Lord remains in the 'Bhagavatha' and the 'Bhagavathamurthi' remains in the Lord. They become Non-separate. Nonseparateness with the Lord within and around is accomplished. The Bhagavatha Path continues.

It is in that state Prahalada demonstrates the impermeability, the indestructibility. It is in that state Ambareesha demonstrates that he cannot be wriggled out or pulled out from the Presence of the Lord. At no point of time Ambareesha, in spite of being the king of the seven continents (Remember he was not just minding his family affairs) was absent to the Presence. He was the emperor of the globe. He was ruling the seven continents. Can you imagine how many responsibilities he would have? Now there is a being on the planet who wants to be the ruler of the planet. How many problems he has? His mind is filled not with the Lord, not with peace, not with harmony, love, etc., but with terrorism. So to him the Lord is Present as a terrorist. Wherever he moves the thought of terrorist exists in his mind. But in Ambareesha, the thought of Lord only remained at all times. Even when he was attacked by Durvasa, he felt that it was the Lord himself attacking him! Can you imagine such a situation? If sorrow approaches you it is Lord only in the form of sorrow. If disappointment approaches you it is Lord only in form of disappointment. If someone approaches you with a dagger it is the Lord only that is approaching you with the dagger. Can you think like that? If you cannot, don't call yourself a medium of the Lord. So then what happened to Ambarisha? Nothing touched him. The story is well known. I am only emphasising the principle behind.

Hiranyakashipu could not touch Prahalada. Durvasa could not touch Ambareesha. We need to read those stories in the night so that you dissolve all your petty personality problems into the Lord and remain in the Lord at least during sleep hours. Otherwise you carry all your problems into sleep and cause disturbed sleep. The nature wants to save us through sleep and we do not get the necessary relief in sleep since we do not enter into the thought of Presence before sleep. If you read the stories of Bhagavatha, they have a magnetic affect to absorb you into It, in spite of you! That is the beauty of these stories. Bhagavatha stories enable absorption, absorption into the Presence of the Lord. In that absorption and into that Presence when you try to walk every night before you go to sleep at least during sleep hours, unconsciously, though in the beginning, you stay in the Presence and later consciously you would experience the Presence and that Presence spills over into your wakeful hours once you are awake. That's another purpose of Bhagavatha. To lead you into the Presence of the Lord to start with unconsciously and later the Presence would spill over into conscious layers of your mind. Even during the day you would start feeling the Presence and you do not feel anything other than the Presence, ultimately. That's how the Hierarchy of Masters, Maitreya, Maru ( Morya ), Devapi Maharshi ( K.H ) and Djwhal Khul ( D.K ) and a host of others have walked into the Presence of the Lord. They do not feel time. They live in the Presence and cooperate with the Divine Plan. In the Presence there is no time, (there is no count of time ), there is no tiresomeness, there is no expectation, there is no disappointment. They do not get disappointed in spite of us because they stand in that Presence.

Bhagavatha Path was the ultimate of the teachings received by Master Djwhal Khul, through Master Morya, Khutumi and Maitreya. He walked into the Presence of Lord Krishna through the help of these three great beings, Maitreya Maharshi, Maru Maharshi and Devapi Maharshi. Djwhala Khula is known as Djwhal Khul today in the west. He is called Master D.K. Djwhala Khula means a 'garland of flames'. Djwhal Khul transformed into a garland of flames, a bunch of flames, when he received the Presence of Lord during the full moon hours of Sagittarius by virtue of stupendous study, service and contemplation upon self. The incarnation in which he gained the Presence happened during the twilight hours of Dwapara & Kali Yugas. His job was to ensure that Mahabharatha and Bhagavatha are made in several copies and distributed all over the holy land of India so that the vibrations of these scriptures are established in the holy land and in spite of the advent of kali age this land would remain unaffected and shed light on the globe. That was the task given to him. So fulfilling this task of getting the copies distributed all over the holy land in accordance with the directions received by his Master Maru Maharashi, he gained the favour of Lord Maitreya and was taken into the Presence of the Lord Shri Krishna on the full moon hours of Sagittarius. First time when the Lord looked into the eyes of Djwhal Khul he was dumb struck, stunned and felt himself non-existent. That was the first impact! That was the impact of the first look. Second time when the Lord looked into the eyes of Djwhal Khul it was like a flashing forth of the cosmic light and Djwhal Khul had to close his eyes due its brilliance. He envisioned the universe with all the details of the solar systems, the planets, the devas of cosmic solar and planetary plane and the whole activity had just appeared, just as Arjuna experienced it amidst the war field. Then there was the third look by the smiling Lord at Djwhal Khul. The whole being was filled with the Presence of the Lord. That is how Master Djwhal Khul received his third initiation and got recruited eternally into the Hierarchy of Bhagavatha.

Ever since he has been working with the same inspiration as the great beings and has been doing patiently the work of synthesis in varieties of ways. What we know is a pittance. That He worked through Blavatsky, Bailey and Master EK are only a few that we know. He is the grandest intelligence today on the planet, working for the Divine Plan. He substituted Lord Maitreya, Lord Morya and Khutumi of their work and allowed them to carry out higher purposes for the benefit of planet and the humanity. He is the one who is now initiating the humanity at large through Gemini full moon. He thus became three in one and one in three and stands as the initiator of the Humanity on the globe. All this is because he accomplished this initiation of the path of Bhagavatha and stands as the lighthouse that transmits the Presence of the Lord.

He is as much mystical as he is intellectual. To the west his teachings are presentation of grandest intellect. To east his teaching are mystical. They propagate Presence. He works with all the seven rays of wisdom. He stands in synthesis and guides thousands of groups of spiritual aspirants all over the planet. The spiritual activity that is conducted on the planet by the groups is directly under the supervision of Master Djwhal Khul and remotely under the supervision of Lord Maitreya. He is the master of five elements. He can transform the elements at will. The five elements are of magic. His Presence is felt like the Presence of Lord Krishna through flute music. In meditation if you listen flute music followed by the chirping of a bird it means Master Djwhal Khul is approaching you. This is how he approaches a sincere being and initiates him into the path of world service. There is a big network of Bhagavathamurthis (hierarchy) trying to help the beings to walk into the path of Presence with utmost simplicity without too much of theory, too much of intellectualization, too much of conceptualization, too much of religion, too much of indoctrination, isms, cults, etc. All can be put aside, if we can straight away interact with the Lord on a daily basis, through the Path of Bhagavatha. Only regulations remain. Rules disappear. As you wake up you are only interacting with the Lord. That is all. Be it your wife, be it your children, be it the servant maid, be it your chauffeur (the driver of your car), be it a stranger on the road, be it a dog, be it an elephant. So it is only the Lord in variety of forms, it is only the Lord in variety of patterns of behavior and it is only the one Lord as all this. Remember this and conduct yourself. Experience the forms around you and of you as Vishnu. Experience the situations that are coming in your life as Vasudeva. If you receive pleasant events you are engaged in the pleasantness of events and you don't feel the Presence. Isn't it? If you are given sorrowful events you feel the sorrow but you won't feel the Presence. So in joyful events we see the joy but not the Lord, in sorrowful events we see the sorrow but not the Lord. But what the Lord says is, be it sorrow or joy see Me, then there is neither sorrow nor joy but only ME. It is simple and therefore is difficult. The truth is simple. Because it is simple it is difficult. This is because our minds are complicated. The complication is in the mind. Simplify your life and straight away interact with the Lord and then walk into the Presence of the Lord.

When you stand in the Presence of the Lord, Wisdom can flow through you. Love can flow through you. Light can transmit itself through. Healing can also happen. Stand in Light, Light flows through you, is the dictum of Masters of Wisdom at all times. All is possible when you stand in Light, in the Presence. Great acts were conducted by many initiates standing in Light, in Love and in the Presence.

Master CVV also speaks of the same Presence, You be in my Presence everything will come to you. Everything will come to you from inside. If you wish life, life comes to you, if you wish wisdom it will come to you, if you wish to know homoeopathy it will come through you, if you wish to know astrology it will come through you. You wish to know anything it will come from within. What is important is, you stay-put in Presence. Everything will come to you as per time and as per need. In fact, we do not have to wish so many. We need to wish to be in the Presence. If we can do so, the Master fulfills the prophecy I shall bestow Immortality (Amrutatva) and self-realisation (Brahmatva).

Such is the path of Bhagavatha. That is the ultimate of the path. Blessed is the one who is simple enough to walk into it. That is why the saying goes if you are simple you are happy, but it is difficult to be simple. Our problem is to gain that simplicity. We unnecessarily enlarge our head with too many concepts and in those concepts we forget the Presence of the Lord. So when the Lord is absent you have only the head load of concepts. If the Lord is present then the concepts are there when you need. That is how the work of Bhagavatha is found to be the simplest way, the direct way, and the shortest route to the Lord. It is the path of Synthesis.

Even Jesus Christ lived in that simplicity and he remains outstanding example of the principle of Presence. He always remained in the Presence of the Lord, he moved in the Lord, he spoke staying in the Lord, he did teaching staying in the Lord, he did healing staying in the Lord. There was not a single act he conducted by himself. It is in total surrender he accomplished a global awareness. The father himself worked through his son. That is the path of Bhagavatha. That is why he stands foremost in the hearts of the Hierarchy of the Bhagavatha group of the present cycle. In the hierarchy of Bhagavatha, Jesus the Christ is admired as a gem. There is no equal to him in recent times. Even when he was being crucified he did not walk out of the Presence of the Lord! What is our suffering? But if you are in the Presence of the Lord the suffering becomes small. Can you imagine crucifixion? The story of the grand Master Jesus Christ should be deeply studied and comprehended. In Kaliyuga Jesus, the Christ, stands as the outmost, most outstanding example of the principle of Bhagavatha. The beings all over the planet are attracted to Jesus, the Christ because the Lord permeated himself through Jesus as the vehicle and this has become possible for the Lord because Jesus was in such total submission. Such total submission we only see in the stories of Bhagavatha and he is the latest one in Kaliyuga. Hence the Christ is seen as the best example of the principle of Bhagavatha in the kali age and he should be respected, he should be worshipped, he should be admired daily. Every one of us has to pay homage to him. Christ is totally different from Christianity. Do not go by the Christianity activities and develop prejudice against Christ. Jesus the Christ needs to be worshipped on par with all the grand masters, the great maharshis whom you know in the East. Learn to follow their footsteps.

Thank you very much. Namaskar
