The story of Thakurji's visit to Kurukshetra
Thakurji had come from Dwarka, Kurukshetra. There was a lot of discussion going on everywhere. The people of Dwarka had come. So, this news reached Gokul and the people of Brij. So, when the people of Brij reached Kurukshetra, the crowd of people gathered to meet Thakur region, people were crowding to meet Thakur. In the midst of these people, an old woman and an old man, both came.
They started asking, where is Kanhaiya? So the people of Dwarka replied, who is Kanhaiya? They said, where is Lalla? Where is Kana? They said, Kana has come here. So the people of Dwarka said, who is Kana? Who are you talking about?
They said, Krishna. So how are you taking his name? He is the ruler of Dwarka, Shri Krishna Chandra. So the Dwarka people said, who are you? So the old man said, I am Nand and he is Yashoda. He has been with us for 11 and a half years.
He is a toy in my hands. Go and tell him that your Nand Baba is here, Yashoda is here. When Dwarapal heard this, he fell at his feet. He said, even though our king is the son of Devaki Maa and Vasudev, but on his birthday, it is said, Nand ghar aayand bhayo, Jai Kanhaiya Nal.
And when Krishna realizes, he runs to the door. He says, Mother! And Yashoda says, Dwarka Dheesh Shri Krishna Chandra Maharaj. So one day, Maa Kirti went to take a bath in the morning.
She saw that the way Yamuna Maharani was flowing, in the opposite direction, a big lotus flower was flowing. So when the flower reached Maa Kirti, the first ray of the sun came. The first ray of the sun came and the flower bloomed. Its leaves opened.
As soon as the leaves opened, a wonderful light appeared. The creator of the infinite universe was sitting there. So, our Thakurji took birth on this earth. Mahadev's wish came true by sitting in Kailash.
That the Lord has gone to the earth. Yes. Yes. And then Bhole Baba took out his flute and played the one that sounds like a conch.
And the one that smiles upon hearing the voice, Thakurji. So, today on our podcast, we welcome Anuj Bhai again. Thank you so much, Bhai.
I won't say it again.
I won't say it again.

I said, what should I do on Radha Ashtami? She said, call Anuj. I said, Anuj had just come in July. It's not even a month yet. So she said, when you have to talk,

Everyone is telling me that they have seen Anuj's podcast. They have seen Anuj's podcast. I He saw the Anuj Bhai podcast. I mean, I'm getting a lot of respect because of you.
It's not me, it's because of Thakur and Radha Rani. We're getting everything because of them.
But a lot of people are giving love. People have gone crazy. Don't you feel weird that you're being called so soon?
No, you can make me sit all your, to talk about my Thakur, you can make me sit all your life.
Right?
Yes.
And now we have decided something off camera. Which we will tell you at the end of the episode. Okay? Before we start the stories, I want to talk to you about something important. And I want you to know about it.
You are an actor. You have been in Sanjay Leela Bansali's films and series. Such big and small actors wish to work with Sanjay Leela Bansali. And you work with him. But I haven't talked to him. But in the last two podcasts, I haven't talked to them about acting. So I will talk about acting a little bit.
And I want to know that this is your profession. Yes. How do you see this profession? Acting profession?
Yes, acting profession. Acting is my passion.
It's my karma.
And I consider it a big gift from Thakuraj.
Because art is the first thing that connects me to my karma. And I consider it a huge gift from Thakurji.
Because art is the first thing that connects me to my God.
Because whenever I perform or since I have been performing...
That Thakurji, you have to perform this.
I feel like... Because when I see my work later, I feel that I haven't done this. So, if I didn't do it, who was doing it? So, my Thakur was doing it. So, art is that thing that connects me with God. And I am an artist. Because I have given almost 27 years of my life to acting. And during this time,
It's my personal love for God. It's an amazing love. Or how did you come to talk about spirituality?
Even being an actor. the one who gives us birth and takes us to earth is God.
So, He is with us at everyhan. The rest is our karma. So, let me tell you a small thing. This shay actually goes to someone to get to this point. So, my younger brother Dheeraj Sharma. I was at my home in Sonipat during the corona pandemic. And my father had cancer at that time.
He also passed away. So, I was in Sonipat and the pandemic was going on. I didn't have any work in Mumbai. So, I was getting a good time to spend with my father. But the excitement of my studies, my knowledge, my acting...
Nothing like that was happening.
And I wanted to do something.
Dheeraj told me, you tell such good stories.
Because I used to sit with my father and narrate to him. Sometimes I narrate something, sometimes I narrate something else. I used to tell him about God, that Thakurji says this, Radha Rani says that. I used to keep on saying such things at home. So he said, you say something. People are in so much depression right now. Corona is going on. Say something for people.
I said, what should I say? What can I say? He said, come with me. There is a peepal tree in our neighborhood. He took me there. He said, you say something. I will record it.
I was sitting under the peepal tree. In the Bhagwat Gita, God has said that I am the peepal tree in the trees. So I realized that in childhood we were scared to say that there is a ghost in the peepal tree, don't go near it after eating sweets. So I thought that people must be thinking this even now, because this was also put in our mind. But peepal is something else.
God himself says that people is me. So I said that people is not a ghost. People is a ghost, present and future. Because people gives us life for 24 hours. Absolutely. Gives us life.
Absolutely. He is God himself.
Absolutely.
He is the one who gives life. He is giving oxygen for 24 hours. Absolutely. So I said about him. That video went viral. Bhai edited it and uploaded it. After that, he uploaded another video.
That also went viral. Now, the corona pandemic is over. I deleted the page. Because people started getting a lot of messages. That sir, you speak very well. Sir, you saved me here and there.
I thought that I have to act. I am an actor. I am not a speaker. Why should I say all this? So, after that, my father left. I came back to my acting field. I came to Bombay. I started working. Now I was getting messages on my Facebook constantly that Sir, you have changed my life. Sir, you have given me so much courage.
But I was ignoring everyone. This is the truth. But during the corona, I was watching a web series called God Friended Me. It was on Amazon Prime at that time. And what happens in that series, Paras bhai, this is a very strange thing. If you have touched on this story today, then listen to this.
I am trapped. How? In that series, there is a man whose father is a pastor. There are fathers in the church. And that guy doesn't believe in God. Now he runs a podcast, like you do.
Okay.
Now he runs a podcast. One day, he gets a friend request on Facebook. And that friend request is of God.
Okay.
So he laughs and removes it. Then the request comes. He laughs again. laughs and removes it. Then the request comes. He laughs again and removes it. Then the request comes. He says, who is this person who is messaging me as God? There is no God.
So he starts talking to him. Now he sends a message to the messenger. Look, there is a person sitting at a place. His name is this. He is sitting in this restaurant. You go there.
So he says, why should I go? I said, I am God, I am telling you to go. He said, okay. He thought, let's go and see. He goes there. The second message comes. That a person will come to him, he will sit and talk to him and they will have a fight. And you have to solve this fight. He said, what do I have to do with it? He said, you can do this. You have to resolve this fight. He said, what does it have to do with me?
He said, you can do this. You have to do it. And he knows both of them through that message. He gets their solution and they become one. In this way, he gets a new message every time. He resolves someone's fight. He does someone's good.
Every time a new podcast... And he tells all these things in his podcast. That this happened to me, this happened today, I did this solution of this, I did that solution of that. And it is becoming popular. People are praising him because his stories are true. So he is thinking what is happening to me? He is not understanding that God is talking to me.
He is giving me messages from unknown people and getting solutions. So during this time, many people avoid committing suicide, many people avoid doing wrong things in their lives. So actually God made him his friend. And God started doing the work that God wants to do. Meaning, God can do it.
So he chose humans. This happened to me. I was watching this series. Later I understood what is happening. I didn't understand. So suddenly when I deleted the page,
Dheeraj uploaded my old video on a new page. The video that 9 million people watched at that time.
I got a message from somewhere that this video is yours. He said that he had made a new page and uploaded it on that.
And while watching that page, the number of followers increased all over the world. I mean, in about 15-20 days, there were 100,000 followers on the new page. Wow.
So I said, what is happening? Then I got a message, so I thought that one day I will go live like this. I told Dheeraj, I said, brother, go live and see this page. I have no interest yet, I am just like that, a normal person. So I went live. Paras bhai, I went live. So a guy came.
Live. And he said to me, Sir, thank you so much. How much I should thank you. So I was just listening. No reaction.
He said, Sir, my leg got cut. In an accident. And I picked up my my leg was cut in an accident. And I ran to the hospital with my cut leg, just chanting Radha Radha Radha. I went to the hospital and got my leg stitched.
After that, my father expired. After that, my little son expired. I kept listening to your videos, kept saying Radha Radha. Sir, everything was broken, but the faith didn't break. And sir, this is your day. I was shaken.
I cried for the first time in my life. After that, I talked to about 10-15 people. And those 10-15 stories were like that. So I realized that God wants me to do something else. Something else. Absolutely.
Which is in my life. Absolutely. So I felt that my God, because I have a lot of love for Thakurji. I mean, I never said this. And now I have the same feeling. But I say that I have never said this and I have just got into the feeling, but I will say that the one who is closest to me in this infinite universe,
and who is on my call all the time, whom I can call in a moment, that I want you here, then the first one to come is Thakurji. He is so close to me.
I have so much love for him. The first one to me was Thakurji. He is so close to me.
I have so much love for him.
The first one to listen to me was Thakurji. Then I felt, Thakurji, in whichever direction you want to take me,
acting is my karma, I am doing it, I will keep doing it.
And now I feel it is my dharma. If because of me, through me, the Lord is creating faith in me, and is increasing my faith, then I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of this. That God has given me this, and guided me on this path. And all the credit goes to Dheeraj.
Absolutely.
And you have contributed to this. Me? Yes, absolutely. You had a large audience.
No, brother.
You had a big audience. And the biggest thing is, Parasbhai, I am telling you you from my heart.
One day I went to Vrindavan. I wrote on my Facebook page that I am on my way to Vrindavan.
I get a call from Goswami ji from somewhere with a number.
I asked him, are you coming to Vrindavan? He said, yes. He said, you have reached here. We are waiting for you. I don't know him.
there was a huge crowd in Bihari temple.
stay with Thakurji as long as you want.
And I don't understand why this is happening,
why there is so much crowd here. So after that, when I had darshan, I spoke to God. Because I stay with God for a little while. I tell God, Prabhu, many people have come to meet you, meet them. Because I keep meeting you. So I never have this feeling in my mind that I should go and stand and keep looking at Thakurji. Because I know Thakurji is always with me. So I came back.
I thanked Goswami ji for calling me. He said, sit here for a minute. I sat down. I actually cried when he said that. He said, Anuj ji, we hear you every morning and evening. You speak so beautifully about our Bihari ji. I got so emotional that my voice is reaching my Thakur.
People are listening here too. My Kanhaiyaa knows. I will tell you a story on this. I just remembered. So I said, my Kanhaiyaa knows that I talk about him. So it was such a wonderful thing.
After that, suddenly one day you called me. You called me and said the first sentence was I had gone to Premanand Maharaj Ji's house and got a message from there to do a podcast about you. I was surprised myself.
I said, what is this happening? I don't understand. A message is coming from there about me. So, this is my Thakur's Leela. And I am understanding this Leela. He is sitting inside everyone. He is inside everyone.
And he gives what he wants. He gives what he wants. You should surrender. Now should I tell you a story that I remember?
Tell me.
There was a saint. It's a wonderful story. There was a saint who was a devotee of Thakurji. He loved Thakurji a lot. He used to chant Thakurji's name day and night. One day, a messenger came to him.
And the messenger came and told the saint, Baba, Thakurji has sent me.
He just had to say this much. Baba, Thakurji has sent me.
I just had to say this much. Saint Baba would have seen it. Thakurji has sent me. Now if a devotee comes and lies to a devotee, he will go crazy that Thakurji has sent him. Saint Baba was also looking at it the same way. Thakurji has sent me.
He said, yes Thakurji has sent me. I said, tell me what can I do? Thakur ji said, you should be asked what you want. I have come to give you something. I can give you whatever you want. Thakur ji sent me. He said, you have given me. My Thakur is sitting in Baikunth and I am there.
And I chant his name, love him, remember him. This is enough for me. What else do I need? You have given me. My Thakurji remembers me, he sent you. Saint Baba was very happy. So, I was also happy at that time that my voice is reaching my Thakurji.
So, now the Devdutt said, Thakurji has said that you have to give something. You will have to ask for something. He said that I have got what I wanted. My penance of so many years is complete. I have got the result. My Thakur has got to know that I am his lover.
I love him. I don't want anything. Devdutt said that you have to ask for something. Thakurji has sent me specially for this. you have to ask for something. Thakurji has sent me specially for this. So, you have to ask for something. So, Sant Baba said, I have got it, but I don't know what to ask. Now, you are so wise, you live with Thakurji, so you tell me what to ask. So, Devdutt said, no, it should be your wish.
He said, no, I will ask for what you say. I don't have no desire. So the angel said, ask for something from Thakurji, that whoever you touch, his pain and sorrows will be gone. His pain will be gone. He will be happy and at peace. So Saint Baba said, no, I cannot ask for this. So the angel said, why? What's wrong with this?
It's a very good thing. He said, no, it's not a good thing. He said, why is it not a good thing? He said, look, if I touch anyone, they will be fine, their sorrows will be gone, they will come out of their suffering. They will start thinking of me as a miracle. This world is like this, it makes anyone a God.
In a few days, they will start worshipping me like a God. And who knows, when people start worshipping me, I will get this pride that yes, I have the power of God, I can remove the pain of people. So I don't want this pride. I don't want to be away from my Thakur.
I want to be close from my Thakur. I want to be close to my Thakur. I don't want to be like him. I don't want such a boon. So the messenger said, wow! You have such amazing devotion. You have so much love. He said, but you will have to ask for something.
So the Saint said, okay. Now that you have given me a solution, I will ask you to give me such a boon that whoever touches my shadow, their sorrows will be relieved. Devdutt said, why did you ask for this? I said, because the shadow will be behind me
and I will not know who touched me. I will keep moving forward. People will keep getting better. People will keep getting better. I will be in the meditation of Thakur. So give me this boon. After that, Saint Baba got this boon.
And Saint Baba kept moving forward all his life. People kept getting better by touching him. All the sorrows were gone. So this is the kind of blessing we should be asking for.
Wow.
Now let's talk about stories.
Yes, absolutely.
Radha Astmi is on the show.
Oh.
So now we have to talk about Radha Rani. And of course, we will have to talk about Thakurji because it is not possible that I am not with Radha Rani. And today, I have been watching from the last two podcasts, that I keep asking you to say something about Lord Shiva. And then we become so involved in Radha Rani and Bihar Ji
that we are unable to come to Lord Shiva. So, let's start with the story of Lord Shiva first.
Today, all three of your wishes are fulfilled. All three wishes are fulfilled today. I will tell you an amazing leela of Mahadev, of Thakurji and Mahadev.
Yes.
So, our Thakurji was born on this earth.
Yes.
I think many times, Parasbhai, that the moment when Thakurji came on this earth, suppose if we see Thakurji, our whole body will tremble. We will become speechless. I am thinking what would have been the situation of this earth when Thakurji came to this earth. So, Thakurji came to this earth. Mother Yashoda was feeding Thakurji.
Mahadev's wish came true, sitting in Kailash. That Prabhu has gone to the earth, let's go and see him. Because Mahadev loves Thakurji a lot. So Mahadev came to the earth. Mahadev thought that it is not possible
that I go straight. I will have to make some excuse. So Mahadev saw that there were many Gopis roaming. He startedadev saw that the Gopis were roaming around a lot. He started spreading the word among the Gopis. He said, go and tell Nand's family, I am a very great astrologer.
I tell the future. We have heard that Nand's family has a son. I will tell the future of the son. Go and tell them. So the Gopis went and told Yashoda that a Maharaj has come, a Sadhu Baba has come. He looks very strange,
but he is saying that he is a very bright future. He will tell about the future of the child. So, mother, you show him. Now Yashoda mother looked from the balcony and asked who is it? She looked down and saw Mahadev standing there. Yashoda got scared seeing Mahadev's form. Mahadev is Mahadev.
With long hair, a snake on his neck, a trident in his hand, and a headgear. She saw Mahadev's form and said, No, no, no. How will I show him my Lalla? I am afraid of him. My Lalla will get scared anyway. So I won't show him my son? I am afraid of him. My son will get scared anyway.
So I won't show him. Mahadev heard this. Mahadev said, what happened mother? Let me see my son once. Let me meet my son. Yashoda mother said, no.
Your form is such that a person will get scared. My son is small. He will get scared. You have worn a snake around your neck.
Mother said, you will get scared. You have put a snake around your neck.
He said, you don't know, your son sleeps on the bed of a snake. So Yashoda said, he sleeps on the bed of a snake?
His enemies sleep on the bed of a snake.
Don't talk like this, you go away from here.
So Gopiyan said, we don't insult a sadhu. He will get angry. He said, okay, wait. Yashoda Maiya decorated a plate for Dakshina. She said, take this Dakshina and go away from here. Bhole Baba said, no, I don't want Dakshina. I want to see my son.
My son has come to your house. I want to see him. Yashoda said, that's not possible. Go away from here. Bhole Baba said, no. I will see him. I will see him. I will tell him about his future. Now Yashoda mother refused. Bhole Baba said, I will sit here.
Will you bring your son out sometime? I will see him when you bring him. Bhole Baba was sitting there. Yashoda Maiya said, even if my son gets old at home, I will not bring him out.
I will not show him to you. Bhole Baba said, no problem. You be stubborn. I am stubborn. I will sit here.
So here Bhole Baba was sitting. Bhole Baba meditated. He said to Thakurji, What is this Leela, Lord? I have come to see you. Put some emotion in the mind of Yashoda Maiya, that at least once you see me. At least let me see you once. How are you? Why are you suffering so much?
I want to see this form of yours on earth. The mind is talking to the mind. Now this talk is reaching to Thakurji, small and cute Thakurji. Now when Thakurji got this thought in his mind, that Mahadev is waiting, he started crying.
Thakurji started crying loudly. Yashodam crying loudly, Yashoda Maiya started making him quiet. He started crying even louder. Yashoda Maiya started making him quiet again. Now Thakurji didn't stop crying. Yashoda Maiya was sometimes serving curd, sometimes butter, sometimes milk, but Thakurji didn't stop crying. It is said that Thakurji turned red, cried so much that he forgot to breathe. He kept crying.
Yashoda Maiya got worried, she got mad seeing Thakurji crying, she said, what is happening, why is my child not quiet? Now for Yashoda Maiya, he is her child, she does not know that he is the master of the universe. Yashoda Maiya is crying non-stop. Gopiya said that she has an evil eye on her son. She has to cast her evil eye on him.
Gopiya said that the sadhu outside will cast his evil eye on him. The sadhu asks the king if he can cast his evil eye on him. Yashoda says that my son is crying, he will make him quiet. I will let him come inside. Otherwise I won't let him come. Now Gopiya ran to Bhole Baba. Bhole Baba was sitting in wait.
She went and told Bhole Baba, Baba, the child has his eyes on Lalla. Lalla is crying a lot, he is not quiet. Will you take his eyes off? Bhole Baba said, yes I I will take him down. Gopiya said, let's go inside. Baba said, no, I won't go inside. I am sitting here.
You have forbidden me to come inside. If you need me, then you can bring Lalla here. I won't go inside.
Bhole Baba was also playing.
Gopiyo said, no, no, you go inside. Baba said, no, I won't go inside. So Gopi said, if you go inside, I will talk to Yashodamaiya. He will let you feed your son. After hearing this, Bhole Baba got shocked. He said, wow, will you let me carry him in my lap?
He said, yes. So as soon as Bhole Baba stepped towards Nand Bhavan, Thakur Ji's tears stopped. He stepped forward,, the tears decreased. The steps moved forward, the tears decreased. As we reached the room where Yashoda Maiya and Kana Ji were, the tears decreased.
It stopped. There was peace. Yashoda Maiya said, my son has become quiet, let Baba go. As soon as Bhole Baba turned around, Kana Ji started crying again. Now Yashoda Maiya felt maybe this Baba has done something.
I will call him inside. He said, come. Will you take his eyes off? Bhole Baba said, I will take his eyes off in such a way that he will not be able to see him till your son is on earth. He said not see. He said, but he should be kept here to raise him. Now, Yashoda Maiya is not showing her face to Baba. Because my son will not cry seeing this face.
So Baba is saying, you believe me, I will not do anything wrong. Show her face, keep her here to raise her. I will see her, only then I will only look at him when I see him. So, Yashoda Maiya strengthened her heart and laid Thakurji in the cradle. And as soon as she laid Thakurji in the cradle, Mahadev gave a bow to Thakurji. Yashoda Maiya said, Baba, you are giving such a bow, as if my son is a God. Bhole Baba said, Mother, you don't know who you are feeding.
He is the owner of the infinite universe. And then Bhole Baba took out his shringri and played it like a conch shell. And the Thakurji who smiled upon hearing that voice, when Thakurji smiles when he smiles, the universe smiles. When Yashoda Maiya got peace, Thakurji got peace.
Thakurji was in red, but he turned blue again. He came back to his original form. He was happy, he started waving his hands and legs. Then Bhole Baba picked him up in His lap. It was such a wonderful Leela. It was such a wonderful meeting of Thakurji and Bhole Baba.
Wow!
Wow! Very wonderful! Bhole Baba is said to be the greatest Vaishnav.
Yes.
The greatest Vaishnav. The greatest in the infinite universe. Yes. Someone had asked me this question. A devotee of Mahadev. He had asked me this question. He was a devotee of Mahadev. He had asked,
You believe in Krishna so much, so what do you believe in Mahadev? Do you know what I said? When Mahadev comes in love, then he becomes Krishna. And when Krishna comes in Rudra,
then he becomes Mahadev. It is the same. Thakurji has said in Bhagavad Gita, I am Shankar in Rudra. So you were saying the second thing, you have three wishes, right? One is fulfilled. Now listen to the second. Our Radharani, my sister, I have a lot of love for her.
She also loves me a lot. I will tell you that moment, no one in this infinite universe has ever loved anyone like that. When Radha Rani was born on earth, she was not born from a womb. God is born from womb, not from womb.
So Ma Keerti and her father Vrishbhanuji, they were very sad that they had no child. So Ma Keerti used to ask Yamuna Maharani for a child. And Vrishbhanu Ji was a very rich person. It is said that he had 11 lakh cows. The person who had more cows at that time was richer.
Nand Baba had 9 lakh cows. So Vrishabhanu Ji was very rich. He was the king at that time. And he was not a child, he was sad. One day, Ma Keerti went to take a bath. She saw that the direction in which Yamuna is flowing,
a big lotus flower was flowing in the opposite direction. It was very surprising to see a lotus flower flowing in the opposite direction in the morning. It kept flowing and reached Maa Kirti while it was flowing. There was light inside the flower. So Maa Kirti was scared and kept looking at the light inside the flower. So when the flower reached Maa Kirti,
the first ray of the sun came. The first ray of the sun came and the flowers bloomed. The leaves opened and as soon as the leaves opened, they were shining so brightly. The Goddess of the infinite universe was sitting there. Radha Rani, the Queen of Love, was in that lotus flower. Seeing this, the Goddess's pride went crazy.
She picked up Radha Rani in her lap. She was very surprised. There was no word coming out of her mouth. She was not able to think what was happening. I had been asking Yamuna Maharani for so many days. I want a child. I want a child.
I ran to Vrishbhanu ji. Listen, Yamuna Maharani has given us a child. Look who has come. And when Vrishbhanu saw Laado Rani, Vrishbhanu got crazy. She started shouting loudly.
Our daughter has come. She said in the whole palace, celebrate. Our daughter has come. Preparations for the celebration were made. After a while, she realized
that this girl is not opening her eyes.
Hmm.
We were a little worried, Vrishbhanu ji. We were worried for a moment. We were worried for a moment, then we said, No problem, she is our child, whatever she is. We called the doctor. We asked the doctor.
The doctor said that the eyes are not opening. She will remain like this. Vrishbhanu ji said, No problem. She is my child. She is as she is.
She is my beloved. And time started passing. It is said that after about 11.5 months, here in the jail of Kansa, Devaki and Vasudev have a child,
who they have been waiting for years. For whom Devaki was yearning for so many years. The owner of the infinite universe comes to earth,
Krishna.
Vasudev comes to Nand Baba's house with Krishna. He gives him to Nand Baba. When Krishna comes to Nand Baba's house, Nand Baba celebrates. There is a big celebration that my son has taken birth here. So in that celebration, an invitation is sent to Vrishbhanuji. So, Vrishbhanuji and Ma Keerti
come to that celebration with their beloved queen. When they reach that celebration, there is a joyous atmosphere all around. Drums are being played. Nand Baba is adorned. Yashoda Maiya is adorned.
Here, Vrishbhanuji, Maa Keerti, and a small child in her hand. And there our Thakur Ji is swinging in the cradle. So, Maa Keerti's lap is shaken, she gets down, for the first time she puts her feet on the ground, and with the strength of her knees, she goes to the cradle. And when she to the palanis on her knees. And when she reaches the palanis,
the eyes of Thakur are lying there. When Lado Rani reaches the palanis, Thakurji's eyes open. When Thakurji's eyes open, Lado Rani's eyes open. It's a heart-to-heart talk that
I have been waiting for you for so many months for you. So Thakurji says, I was also yearning to come to Vaikunth. So such a wonderful love, so much waiting for him, so much love. So Radharani saw the first person on this earth and that was Krishna.
Brother, I will tell you one thing about Radharani. to of Even if they touch us, we will still enjoy it. There was only one Suraj who had a very pure mind. He saw Manmohini. He also got attracted. But he said, I wish I had such a beautiful daughter.
Amazing!
At that time, Manmohini, Lord Vishnu himself, he came to know what he was asking for, what he was demanding. Because everyone's vibe is the same except for him. Manmohini stopped time and told Suradev at that time that I will bring a form that is a crore times more beautiful than this form in Dwapar Yug.
And that will be Radha.
Wow!
Vrishbhanu Dulari. Vrishbhanu Dulari. So Vrishbhanu is the avatar of the sun. And Radharani is the form of Manmohini, the form of Vishnu. Which we say, Thakurji himself has appeared.
Thakurji himself has appeared.
So that is my Radharani. Wow! And it is said that seeing Thakurji's beauty, Kamdev used to faint. Thakurji's beauty. And it is said that Thakurji fainted seeing Radha Rani's beauty. So how beautiful she must be. So, what we say, Prem Anand Maharaj Ji also says,
and nowadays we will also start telling people to chant Radha's name. So, what we say, Prem Anand Maharaj Ji also says, and nowadays we also say, chant Radha's name. By chanting Radha's name, you start getting 0.1% of Radha Rani's beauty. Because of which you start looking positive. Absolutely.
You start looking beautiful. Even if you don't have a good face, but you start looking good. You start looking beautiful. Wow. Right?
So, I will say this beautiful word only for Radha Rani. This is the most beautiful Radha.
Paras bhai, you have said a very beautiful thing. By chanting Radha's name, the light within you gets filled with such a glow that the light increases. The brightness of your face increases.
Your energy increases. Only this Radha's name has such a power. That's why you should chant her name. You are absolutely right. Earlier people used to call me handsome, hot, sexy. These words were used. Today people message me or talk to me on the phone.
You are beautiful. I have become beautiful. Why? Because I have started chanting Radha's name. I have absorbed that beauty in me. Wow! Very beautiful. Now you were saying something. For Radha Ashtami, this story is very close to my heart.
Whenever I think about it, I feel very happy. And this is a story from the Kaliyug era. There was a girl named Rama. She was married into a very good family. The family she was married into was also a devotee of Radha Rani and Thakurji. She was very rich, had a good family, everything.
She had no children.
Rama was very sad about this. She used to tell Radha Rani that she doesn't have a child. She was very sad. One day, she found out that all the women in the neighborhood were going to Barsana. So, Ramaa told his mother-in-law that he would also go to Barsana to meet Radha Rani. So his mother-in-law said, yes, son, you must go. You go and talk to Radha Rani. Maybe Radha Rani will listen to you. So Rama said, okay, I will also go.
Now the next day, the train was in the morning. And he got hurt in his leg at night. He got a deep wound. So my mother-in-law said, don't go this time, you have got hurt. Because if you go to Barsana, you will have to climb the stairs.
Radha Rani's palace is on Atari, on the mountains. You will have to go there, you cannot walk there, don't go. Rama said, no. Mother, now I will go. Now I have taken a decision. Because I was thinking for many days that I will talk to Radharani about this and that. I will go in this way and that way.
I was talking to Radharani in my mind. Now I will not stop because of this leg. I will go. So mother-in-law said, okay son, as you wish. The next day, Rama came to Bars raining with all the women. When it started raining, she started climbing the stairs. All the women moved a little ahead.
One of them had an injury in her leg, so she was walking a little slowly. She started climbing. When she climbed a few stairs, a beautiful girl came. She said, Mother, I will give you support, I will take you to the altar. So Rama said, no son, it's okay, I will go slowly.
So she said, no brother, I will drop you, I am going up. Come with me. So Rama said, okay son. Now the girl started to take Rama up. Rama asked, what is your name? She said, mother, everyone calls me Lado.
She said, okay, what a lovely name you have, Lado. How beautiful and lovely you are. She took him upstairs. She went upstairs and said, Mother, here comes the Atari. Come and take a darshan.
So she started going to take a darshan. So Lado said, Mother, tell me one thing. I have brought you up. What have you brought for me? So Rama said, Here, one thing, I have brought you up, what have you brought for me? So Rama said, take this, keep it.
So Rama had some bangles, he had a pocket, he thought she is a small girl, she will look beautiful, so he gave her. He said, mother, this is not a decoration, it is incomplete. Give me the complete decoration. So Rama said, son, I will be here for 8 days. I will come again tomorrow.
If I give you all the jewelry, who will take me up tomorrow? You will meet me tomorrow morning. So he said, okay. The next day Rama came again. Rama came again and met that girl again. Rama called out, Lado, let's go up.
Now Lado took her up. Now Rama brought her a veil and a lehenga. Everyday Rama would bring something for her and that girl would take Rama to the palace. This went on for 6 days. Everyday Rama would bring something for her.
She would give it to her and she would be very happy. She was a small girl and she would take her to the atari. Now, on the sixth day, when Rama arrived, there was a big, beautiful, big-eyed child with that girl. So, Lado said, Mother, he is my friend. You will have to bring something for him too.
So Rama said, Son, I will bring something for her tomorrow. Now Rama was in love with Lado. She used to meet him everyday, she used to drop him everyday. She used to talk to him a lot. She used to tell him a lot.
She used to say when she used to go up,
when she used to come down.
Now the day came, the next day. The seventh day. So the seventh day, when Rama reached the seventh day, Rama took the things for the Lado, the garland, and for his friend, he took the peacock feather, the crown, the flute, everything in the form of Kanhaji, that he would look beautiful.
Then Rama asked her, Tell me one thing, I gave you so much of beautiful things, like a veil, a lehenga, everything. But you don't wear it. Where do you take all this stuff?
She said, Tomorrow is Radha Ashtami. I will wear it tomorrow. That's why I had kept it. Tomorrow you will also come. I will wear it.
So Rama said, okay son. Now the next day was Radha Ashtami. The next day Rama reached there, his legs were quite well. Now he looked down the stairs, he did not see Lado anywhere. He asked here and there, he couldn't find Lado anywhere. I was very confused. I didn't know that there was a lot of crowd today.
There were a lot of people who came to see Radha Rani. So, it is possible that I might have sat somewhere in the crowd. But I will find her. Because I find her every day. So, thinking about this, I started climbing the stairs. I kept climbing the stairs.
I kept looking around. I kept finding Lado. She didn't find him. She found Lado's friend. She went upstairs to the Atari. She kept looking for him. She couldn't find him anywhere. It was very crowded at the Atari. People from all over the world came to see Radha Ashtami.
It is so crowded. Now, Lado was being searched for. But Lado was nowhere to be seen. So Rama thought, I don't know where she went. She said she will get ready at Radhaashami. And tomorrow I will leave from here. Today it was necessary to meet her. Since so many days, the girl has been making me climb up every day.
But I didn't meet her anywhere. So Rama thought, I will see her while leaving. Thinking this, she went inside the temple. When she went inside and reached. When she reached inside, she saw the crowd and Radha Rani and Thakur Ji were covered.
They were covered, she started looking around but she couldn't find them. When she removed the cover, she saw Radha Rani and Thakur Ji. So, all this adornment the things that Rama had given for so many days, the same clothes, the same veil, the same lehenga, the same bangles, the same anklet,
the same peacock-shaped crown that Thakurji had worn, the same flute, the same pitambari. And Rama was stunned.
His body started shaking.
He couldn't understand how this could happen.
Rama ran to Goswami ji from the crowd. She went to Goswami ji and asked him who has dressed up as Radha Rani today. Who has brought this attire here? Her eyes were filled with tears. Who has brought this Thakur's Pitambari? Who has given this costume? My eyes are filled with tears. Who has brought this Thakur's Pitambari? Who has given this Basuri? Goswami ji said that
today Radha Rani has dressed up herself. When we opened the door in the morning, this Thakur and Radha Rani's costume was kept with Radha Rani and Thakur. So we thought that maybe they want to wear this costume today.
That's why we have got this costume worn. So this costume was given by Radha Rani and Thakur Ji. And Rama ran from there, shouting, Laado Laado, running towards the stairs, running here and there, shouting loudly, my Laado, my Laado, where is you, Lado? She couldn't find Lado anywhere.
She kept going up and down, up and down, up and down, she went around so many times, but she couldn't find Lado anywhere. Rama sat on the stairs. Lado kept shouting, Lado. The woman who came with Rama, everyone explained to her. She said, I have seen Radha.
My beloved queen has taken me up every day. I have seen her. The attire that she has worn today, I gave it to her. The attire that Kanhaiya has worn, I have seen his friend, Krishna. The women explained to her, no problem, you have seen her, now it is time now go home.
It's time to go home. He said, I won't go like this. All the women went back, and Rama stayed there. Rama's family came to make him understand. But Rama didn't leave those stairs. He said, no, my Lado came here, sat here, talked here, took me from here.
Now she was telling everyone, I gave this dress, I gave the jewelry, she asked me like this, she said like this, she brought her friend, she said like this, she said I will wear it on Radha Ashtami, she wore it. But everyone started calling her mad. Hmm. Rama used to climb stairs and get down every day. Radha Radha, Lado Lado, used to come and go shouting. Radha Radha, Radha Radha. After 30 years, she was tired, exhausted, and worried.
She was climbing the stairs, shivering with her legs. Then a little girl came and said, mother, I'll take you to Atari. When Rama saw her, he said, my dear. That was the last word Rama said. He left his body there. This is a story from the Kaliyug era.
We are a little emotional, so we took a break and brought ourselves back into the mood. And now we are starting again. This is what happens when you talk about Rana Rani. This is what happens.
I will tell you a story, Parasbhai. Whoever understands this story, all his delusions will break.
Everyone has talked about God in different ways. Krishna is like this, Krishna is like that. How is Krishna? This story takes me to a very different dimension. How is Krishna? No one can even explain this on this earth, in the infinite universe. There are no such words in the world that can describe Krishna.
No one has such power. There was a saint in the bridge, Madhavdas. This is the incident of Kali Yuga. He loved Krishna a lot. He had immense love for him. He was an eternal devotee He loved Krishna a lot. He was an eternal devotee of Lord Krishna.
He had a wonderful feeling. He could see Krishna in everyone. He could see Krishna in every living being. And this is the reality. In a small ant and a big elephant, the soul is the same, the Supreme is the same God, that is Krishna.
That is why he is moving. In every living and non-living thing, there is Krishna. Everywhere there is Krishna. And the one who is Krishna's lover, he starts seeing like that. Because he gets the eyes of faith.
So Madhavdas used to see Krishna everywhere.
So Madhavdas used to live in Latao, Kunjgali. He used to worship the name of God all day. Do you know what he used to eat? The saints who used to come to the ashram, they used to eat whatever was left of the food and collect it. They used to collect all the leaves and eat that food. And then they used to offer that food to God.
And then they used to get that food. You must have never heard such a wonderful devotee.
No, I haven't.
Now, this was their daily routine. Collecting the false food of the saints, offering it to God and then getting it themselves. One day, they was very hungry. He quickly gathered the food of the saints. He put it in a plate and put a core in his mouth.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, he remembered that he did not offer food to God. Now there is a core in his mouth. He realized that he did not offer food to God. How can Madhavdas eat without offering food to God? Now he cannot even swallow it because it is a lie of the saints. And inside the saints, we see Krishna. The glory of the saints is different.
The respect of the saints is different. All the saints are like Krishna. Now how can I swallow the false food of my God? And how can I leave without serving God? It's been a night since evening. My mouth is closed.
Tears are flowing from my eyes. The night is passing. I am crying non-stop. I can neither swallow nor swallow. It's morning while crying. They can neither swallow nor swallow. It's morning already. They are sitting there. The rest of the food is kept there.
And there is a corn in their mouth. They are constantly crying. They are remembering Krishna. They say that God appeared in person. God said, Madhav, what is the matter? Why are you crying? You are pointing at me.
You did not offer me food, Lord. I made a mistake, forgive me. I cannot swallow,, forgive me. I can't swallow it, I can't say it, it's a lie of the saints. You are inside everyone. So God said, Madhav, give it to me. Madhav said, no Lord, how can I give you my fake one?
Madhav, you give fake one everyday. What are you saying today? Give it to me. He said, No Lord, this is my fake one. He said, You are my most beloved. You are my most beloved among all those people whom you give false offerings. Give me.
Madhav said, no Lord, I cannot do this sin. We are talking in gestures and God is insisting again and again, give me. Madhav's face was reddened and he was crying. He hai, aankhe laal ho gayi hai ro ro karke. Mooni khol pa rahi hai, bina moon khole ro rahi hai. Bhagwan ke charno mein mastak rakh diya. Sharir kaap rahi hai, ek toh saakshaat Thakur ji, wo bhi kis condition mein kuch baat nahi kar pa rahi hai.
Zatheeti aise bani hai. God is insisting me to give false promises. I am telling God that I will commit a sin. Why should I give? I don't understand how to talk to God. I can neither speak nor swallow. I put my head at God's feet. He is crying bitterly. In that bitter crying, his mouth opened a little
and a grain of rice came out of his mouth.
And Thakur Ji picked up that grain of rice came out of his mouth. And Thakurji picked up that grain of rice and ate it. And after eating, God went into meditation.
So this is how God had given darshan to Mahadavdas.
Now you understand what God wants. Emotions.
Emotions.
Emotions.
He is hungry for emotions.
That's it.
When love is awakened within, when that love is awakened, when that faith is awakened, when you call Krishna with your mind, then everything is forgotten. Then everything are nothing.
Then there is nothing between a devotee and God. There is no wall, no thought, no purity, nothing.
Trust.
This reminds me of another story, Which I am going to make. Which I am going to make a show. And you will also be there with me. We will make that show together. So that story is like this. Like Bhav, Vishwas.
You must have heard that story. There was a mother. By doing Karma. Yes, Khichdi was eaten byichdi in Jagannathji. So when the new Jagannathji started there, Karmabai used to be very young.
And she used to take Khichdi every day. She used to get Khichdi for breakfast. So this continued for years. Karmabai used to take Khichdi every day. And Panditji used to take it and offer it at 4 in the morning. Now, Karmabai got old.
Her knees started hurting. She told Thakurji that she won't be able to come from now on. My knees have given up. Lala, you come to me from now on. Come home to eat Khichdi. Your temple opens at 4 am.
You come to me by 4.45, eat Khichdi, drink water and come back to your place. Now she said this and went back to her house. And the next day she woke up and started making Khichdi that Thakur is coming today. Lalla is coming today. Now when she is making khichdi, the door is knocked and a voice comes in, Amma, khichdi. Amma opens the door and sees a small boy coming in and asking for khichdi.
He says, if you have come, Lala, you have come, come sit, sit, sit. Amma gives khichdi, water and while feeding to Thakurji, They talk to each other and Thakurji eats it and leaves. After drinking water. Now this process started. Now for so many years, there was a rule that going to the temple every morning and
giving it to the priest, priest used to give Bhog. So the priest said, it's been so long, Karmabai is not coming nowadays. Thakurji is not getting the Bhog eating khichdi. So I will do one thing. When I will be coming to the temple tomorrow morning, I will come to my mother's house and ask her if everything is fine. The next morning, the priest leaves at 3.30 am.
He reaches a little later and sees that my mother is making pakwan in her hut. He doesn't know that she was making Khichdi. She went and told her mother, Mother, what are you making in the morning? And I don't see any minister these days. Is everyone fine?
So mother said, Oh Panditji, where are you? Thakur comes to me now. Lalla comes to me to eat food, to eat Khichdi. So he must be coming to make Khichdi. Now Panditji thinks, I'm Then make khichdi, eat it and then feed it to your son. They thought anyone would come.
Now, Amma ji thought that yes, we should bathe, we should do puja and eat. So, okay, I will do this from tomorrow. And in the earlier times, there were no clocks and alarms. Amma's rule was based on that rule. She would wake up at 3.30 and start cooking khichdi.
But the next day, Amma woke up at 3.30. Amma went to take a bath. She took a bath and started doing puja. After the puja, she started cooking khichdi. As soon as she put the utensils for khichdi, Amma got knocked out upset. She said,
Lala, you are late today. Come and sit. I was just washing the utensils. I will make Khichdi for you. So my mother quickly made Khichdi. As soon as the Khichdi was ready, she served it to me.
Because Thakurji was saying, I am getting late. Hurry up, the door is about to open, the gate is about to open.
Amma comes and puts the khichdi in front of him, hot, smoking,
and Thakurji starts eating it quickly.
And after eating quickly, he runs away, doesn't even drink water.
Amma says, Lala, at least drink water, you've eaten such hot khichdi. Thakurji runs away because the gate is open. Now the same priest opened the gate. As soon as he opened the gate, he saw that Jananath ji's Khichdi is being prepared here. So the priest went there, went to Shri Vigraha.
He did this and wiped it with his hand. And his hand got burnt. His hand got burnt and he said, what happened? Where did this hot Khichdi come from? Either it would have been made at night,
or it would have cooled down by now. Where did this hot khichdi come from? Now the priest finished his rituals in the morning. Whatever needs to be done. After that, the priest fell asleep very fast. He fell asleep very fast. Now the priest slept.
Thakur ji came in my dream. He said, how dare you tell my mother to take a bath, first you do the worship, then you offer the food and then you feed me. I like his feelings.
I like their emotions. I like their love. I don't care about the things you do. If you don't have emotions, then everything is useless. This is my mother's emotion. Who are you to say anything? Go and tell her that my face is burning.
Your hand got burnt while wiping. So imagine how much my face must have got burnt.
Thakurji said this to Panditji emotionally. Your hand got burnt while wiping, so imagine how burnt my face would have been.
Thakurji read this emotionally and said, Panditji opened his eyes and started crying. Panditji ran to Amma and fell at her feet. He said, Amma, please forgive me. Thakurji does come here sometimes. You don't need to bathe or do any worship. You feed him.
Amma said, I told you Lala will come. You were saying the same. So he said, no Amma, you don't need to do anything. You can eat as much as you want. Now, from the next day, the same thing started again.
What happened?
Thakurji goes to their house and cries out, that Amma, Khichdi. That's why, even today, in Jagannathji, the first bhog is of Khichdi. And it is of Karma Bhai. But see, bhog is of lot of enjoyment in Khichdi, but still, Thakurji comes to us,
remembering the old times.
So, Thakurji is just a book of emotions. The thing you have said, I will tell you a wonderful incident related to this.
Absolutely.
The thing you have told, the relation between a devotee and God is different.
Your worship and your good talks have no relation. Absolutely.
The relationship between a devotee and God is different.
Yes, there is no relation.
So I will tell you a small story. Once there was a cowherd. She used to leave her house every morning to sell milk. She used to go to other villages. So, there used to be a river between her village and her village. She used to cross that river every day to sell milk.
So, this was her daily routine. So, one day, she felt that a lot of people had gathered across the river. He thought, let's see who it is. He found out that a Maharaj was giving a satsang. He stopped for a while. The sadhu and mahatma there were saying that
there is so much power in the name of God. So much power that if you take the name of God with a pure heart, you can cross the ocean. Now she heard this and said, it is a very good thing that there is so much power in the name of God. Now she would come and go, stop there once or twice and listen to something or the other. Now this was her daily routine.
Here the satsang was going on across the river. In the evening she had to come back home in the evening. One day, he came back home after selling milk. When he reached near the river, he couldn't see the boatman anywhere. When he couldn't see the boatman anywhere, he was worried that the children must be waiting. So, he thought that the saint had said that if you take the name of God with a true heart, you can cross the ocean.
He said that this is a small river. He said, O Krishna! And he kept his feet on the river and crossed it. By walking on the water. He went across and saw, wow! Maharaj Ji told me such a wonderful thing.
I took the name of God and crossed the river. Such a simple thing. Such a good thing. Now his daily routine is that he takes the name of God and crosses the river.
He didn't need a boat.
Now one day he felt that the great knowledge that Mahatmaji has given me, I should welcome Mahatmaji. Absolutely. I should talk to him. She went to Mahatmaji. She said, Mahatmaji, you have given me a lot of knowledge,
you teach people a lot. Your teachings are miraculous. I want you to have dinner with me this evening. The Mahatma ji said, okay. He said, I will sell milk and come. I will take you along when I leave.
He said, okay. She sold the milk and went to the Mahatma ji. She said, Mahatma ji, let's go. She brought the Mahatma ji to the river. She said, Mahatma ji, let's go. He said, let the boat come. She said, why boat?
She said, I don't know if the boat will come or not. How long will we wait? You go. We have to prepare food there. The kids are waiting at home. It will be nice if you come.
He said, I don't know how to swim. I said, but why do you need to swim Maharaj Ji? He said, how will you go? I said, you only taught me that if you take God's name with a true heart, you can cross the ocean. I take God's name with a true heart and cross the river everyday. He said, you cross the river? How do you cross?
He said, come, ji, please come. Will you stop? Maharaj ji was stunned. Maharaj ji lay down there and prostrated. He said, I only teach. True knowledge, true devotion, true feelings are here within you. You have the ability that God is listening to your voice.
You have taken the name from your true heart and you have crossed the river. So the relationship between a devotee and God is a wonderful relationship. It is a relationship of faith. The more you believe in whatever knowledge you are getting from anywhere, how much faith do you have in it? That tells you how you are related to God. Everyone gives knowledge and everyone listens.
How much do you follow it? I said one thing last time too. We worship Krishna, we believe in Krishna, we worship him.
But how much do we believe in Krishna, we worship him. But how much do we believe in what God has said? How much do we believe in what God wants to tell us?
Until we don't believe in that, until we don't believe in what Thakurji has told us, the message for which he left Vaikuntha and came to earth, he created such a big Mahabharata to give us a message. We will not understand that message, we will not understand his talks, his leelas, the kind of life he lived. He lived on earth for 125 years.
He told us how responsible you should be and how important your responsibilities are for you. How much love you should have, how much attachment and detachment you should have. How important is karma. He has taught us all those things. If we don't follow those teachings, then even if we go to the temple,
it's of no use. We should follow the words of God. And I am telling the truth. This is my heart's desire. One who believes in Krishna, is truly like Krishna.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Yes. This is a wonderful story. This reminds me of another story. I don't know why I am remembering this story. My mother told me this story and I have told this story to someone only once. I will tell you as much story I remember. I don't know how I remember it. My mom told me about it and I think I have told it to someone only once. I will tell you as much as I remember. Like you said, she used to go across Yamuna ji to sell milk. So I remembered it from that.
So this is an incident of Vrindavan. And it happened a few years ago. So now it is UP, Vrindavan. There are Hindus, Muslims, everyone lives there.
Yes.
So, a boy from a Muslim family, a small boy, used to go to school, so he used to go to catch a bus for school, and the bus used to come, the school bus.
Yes.
Now, that's Vrindavan. In Vrindavan, there are temples in every lane. Yes. Now that is Vrindavan. In Vrindavan, there is a temple in every lane.
Yes.
Of Thakurji. Now where he used to stand, in front of the temple, I mean, there was the door of the temple.
And right in front of it, Thakurji and Radharani used to be seen.
Hmm.
Now he used to wait for the school bus there. And his eyes fell on Thakurji. And as soon as he started looking at Thakurji, like you said last time, when Thakurji accepts someone, he makes him restless. He became restless. He kept looking at Thakurji. He started chanting Krishna Krishna. That he is very beautiful. He is very beautiful.
The bus came, the bus left, but he stood there and kept looking. He went home and said, what is this temple? Who are these people who are standing with the flute in the temple? His parents said, don't say such things. This is not for us. This is the thing of the non-believers. This temple is not for us. So don for the non-believers, this temple is not for us, so from today
don't talk about it and never go to the temple. So the child was quiet, now the next day he came again to catch his bus, he left the bus again, now it went on for 2-3 days. I He started beating him up. And at that point, his friend came home and asked him, why aren't you coming to school? It's been four days. His parents said, he's not coming to school. He said, no, he doesn't come to school. He just stands there in front of the temple. So his parents beat him up.
And locked him in the room. They locked the windows. They locked all four doors so that no one could come out. And now that he was beaten, he couldn't come out. It was locked. Now what could he do?
Who could he remember? Thakurji's bride. He remembered Radha Rani. Now when he locked the door, he kept crying. He kept crying remembering Radha Rani. He learned the name Ladli.
He kept saying Ladli, Ladli, Ladli, Ladli. One day, the door stopped ringing. I opened the door and saw the child gone. The parents were scared. They thought the child went away, where did he go? We locked him up, the doors are closed from all sides, no window is open, nothing happened.
Where did he go? Now we started looking for him in the whole of Vrindavan. He is not found, not found, not found. We show his photo and ask people. So Goswami came to know about this. That there is a boy, whose parents are looking for him
and his parents said that this boy is very cute and he is a Muslim. Goswami thought that this is a very wonderful kid whose name is Radharani and he is looking for him and wants to know about him. He must be a very wonderful kid. So Goswami went to find him. Goswami meditated. He asked Thakurji to tell where this child is. So Goswami was meditating.
He saw a boy sitting in front of him. He thought that he is the one. Because he is seeing till one. He is sitting in front. He is the one. What was he wearing? He was wearing a cloth below. There was nothing else. Goswami ji went to him. He is talking to him. What happened?
What are you doing? Did you run away from home? What is your name? He didn't answer. He just kept staring at Yamuna ji. After that, a little girl comes. She says, to She turns her face towards herself and says, Eat this. Krishna's bride has sent this for you.
What?
Okay. So he eats it. When he hears that Krishna's bride has sent it, he smiles and starts eating the fruit. As soon as he eats a bite, he says, I want to go to my beloved. I want to go to Krishna's bride.
So the girl says, okay, I will take you. I will take you, but you eat. I will come at night. And she told Baba Goswami, Baba take care of him.
He will stay here, I will come at night.
So now Goswami started talking to him. So he told him that I used to go to school like this, this happened, this happened, this happened. And as soon as he said, dear, he became silent again. He became completely silent. Goswami sat with him. He sat there and started waiting for the night.
It was night. A beautiful girl like apsara comes and says, Come Lala, your bride has called you, your darling has called you. And he is happy. And she takes him and leaves. As soon as she leaves, he thinks, who is this girl who came so late at night and who was there in the afternoon?
And as soon as he turns around, they both disappear.
Wow!
So, who was that girl who came? That lovely girl who was Sakhi, who came to pick up that boy.
Wow!
There are a lot of crazy people in Vrindavan. You must have seen them. Yes, a lot. Yes, a lot those crazy people? Barsana. They can get cured there.
But how to go there? I am telling you the truth. Only those who are carried by Krishna can go to Barsana. If you are climbing those stairs, the stairs of Atari, then you are not climbing alone. Krishna is walking with you. Absolutely.
If you ever climb those stairs, then feel that Krishna is holding your hand and making you climb. You are not alone. You don't have the capacity to go there. Without Krishna, no one can reach the Atari of Radha Rani. I always say that Atari is not ordinary. The goddesses of the infinite universe come there and bow down. That is Atari.
Can I tell you one more thing? I don't know why I am remembering the topic today. Although I didn't have anything in my mind today. Thakurji got ready once. In his childhood. He got ready. I was ready in my childhood. I wore a pythambar, kohl, a cute peacock feather, a necklace.
I came out looking beautiful. They said, hey Gopi, how do I look today? Tell me. Gopi looked at me and turned his face away. Okay? Because Thakurji has to look at me. So Thakurji said, Hey Gopi, what happened? Is there any flaw in my adornment?
That you are looking at me from that side, I am not able to see you. She said, we are from the bridge. We take a lie. First come to Radha Rani for your darshan. After that we will see you.
So Thakurji has to go to show Radha Rani. To see if she is looking good or not. When she says okay, then they say, yes, now see, you saw. Then songs are sung for her, they are given love.
Wow!
So, Thakur has to go to show for his approval. Who are we?
Who are we? Who are we?
We come when Thakur approves us.
Yes, that's true.
Right?
So we have that approval.
Absolutely.
It's God's grace, it's our sister's grace. So, there are so many amazing stories, Paras bhai. Many times people say, what's the first way to reach God is to remember God. Take His name. Knock on the door of God and say, Lord, I am also there. I am your child. Take their name, worship them. Worship is the first method.
While worshipping, you will move ahead on that path more continuously. Where you will start having awareness, where you will start meeting, where you will have a conversation. The first Pooja is the Aarti, the prayers that we do in the temples, all this, which we have learnt from the world. After that comes a time when the devotee has a conversation with God. He expresses his feelings to God. Then comes a time when he starts hearing the voice of God.
Then comes a time when he starts hearing the voice of God. Then comes a time when he starts seeing God. Then all his problems get solved automatically. He always has a smile on his face. So many times people say that I don't feel like doing puja. I don't feel like doing puja. I don't feel like doing puja. So how do I do it?
So today I will tell you something.
Look,
if I give you poison in a small cup,
and tell you to drink it,
and you say that you don't feel like it, I still say drink it, and you say no I don't feel like it, I still say drink it, drink it because of me, and you say I don't feel like it, why should I drink it? So I say if you don't feel like it, drink it. And you drink it, what happens?
The poison will react. So poison did its work, it has nothing to do with your mind. So you do puja, you will get the result of puja, it has nothing to do with your mind. You chant the name of God, meditate on God, whether your mind does it or not, it has nothing to do with your mind does it or not, it has nothing to do with the mind. As you chant the name, you will keep getting pure.
A protective shield will be built around you. Which will be so full of positive energy that no negative energy will be able to touch you. Do you know what happens? Like we have a house or a studio. So we have a small bulb in our house, 5 watt, 10 watt, 20 watt, 50 watt, 100 watt, 1000 watt. There are different bulbs.
Absolutely.
The energy is coming from the same place. The main switch is the same. Its energy is also coming from somewhere. The transformer is the same. The main energy is coming from somewhere. The more capacity it has, the more light it is giving.
Absolutely.
Right?
Absolutely. Right?
Absolutely. So every living being should try to increase its capacity.
Absolutely.
To give more light. Absolutely. The day you get direct contact with that energy, your face will be extremely bright. Absolutely. You will see peace on your face.
Then you will not be just bright. You will have removed a lot of darkness. Wherever you are sitting, there will be light. The friends you are sitting with, the people you are sitting with, because you have a lot of energy inside you, all negative energy will be removed and you will spread light.
So that's why you have to be bright. That's why you have to chant the name. Absolutely. One more thing that comes to mind, it is also said that, like there is fire, in the fire, you can forcibly touch it or by mistake, but the hand will burn. Similarly, chant the name of God, you will attain God,
whether you do it with your mind or without it.
Yes, just do it. Just do it.
You have to do it with your heart or not. Yes, just do it. You have to do it. You will also develop faith in yourself. And all those experiences will be yours. Then you start seeing magic. I started seeing magic.
I didn't share that with you. One day before my birthday. 10 days before my birthday, I start feeling a little anxious. I start feeling a little nervous. I get a weird feeling, I don't know why. Some people get this before their birthday.
They start getting weird feelings. So this time, nothing like this happened to me. Because Radha Naam, Shakti. And one day before my birthday, when I released the album, someone came to my house. And he wanted to come to my house for a long time
but he was not able to come. He said that after watching your videos, I started Radha Naam Jaap. I was in some problem. I came with my husband and as soon as I started husband my horoscope. I said okay, I will see the horoscope. He told me that he has Thakurji in his house. I suddenly thought why Radharani is not there. Radharani wants to come, bring her. So he told me, she started crying, she started crying a lot. She was sitting here and crying a lot. Her husband was also saying, shut up. I said let her cry, it's a feeling. It's good. So I told him. And that day was Guru Purnima. I told him to bring Radha Rani. So he said that someone had given me a garland that says, put it on Thakurji.
Thakurji won't remember Radha Rani because she is alone at your house. Today morning that garland broke. I said that garland broke because Radha Rani is coming today.
Wow!
She cried so much and as soon as she left her house, she brought Radha Rani to Guru Purnima.
Wow!
So, Radha's life changed with the name of chanting. She used to eat non-veg at her house. Everyone stopped eating non-veg. As soon as Radha Rani came, he started adoring her. He was getting positive. His problems were getting solved within a few days. Within a few days.
I am seeing this magic. I am giving you one example. There are many examples. I get messages from all over the world.
You have been doing this for so many years. I get messages from all over the world. You have been doing this for so many years.
I get messages from all over the world. How many people's lives have changed in the country and abroad. And this is a positive energy. I am saying, brother, once you believe in God. I am not saying that, like I, my dear Thakurji, I am not saying that you take the name of Krishna.
Whom you believe in, whom you believe in as God, in whose name, because God says, in Thakurji's Bhagwat Gita, that wherever you worship, whatever your desires are, and wherever you talk, all those things reach me. This is what Thakurji says.
I am remembering a question from this. Can I say?
Yes, please.
Many people are devotees of Shiva, many are devotees of Thakurji, many are devotees of
Radharani.
These have become groups.
Groups. We are Thakurji, we are Radharani, we are Shivaji, we are Hanumanji, we are Ramji. They are fighting among themselves. They don't understand that the power is the same.
Let's say we sowed a seed of a marigold flower. We sowed the seed from the same flower. We sowed the same seed. When the seed sprouted, it gave birth to a marigold plant. Now the plant grew from that plant, so many beautiful flowers came.
Absolutely.
Many beautiful flowers came and every flower is proud of itself. While every flower, every leaf is talking about itself. That I am, I have come from there, I have come from there, I have come from there, I have come from there. Now you have faith in flowers. You don't have any worries about seeds.
It is one in many and one in many. So if you say that you are a devotee of Mahadev and you are badmouthing Krishna, then you are not a devotee of Mahadev.
Absolutely not.
And if you are speaking against Lord Krishna and Mahadev, then you cannot be a devotee of Lord Krishna.
What did I say?
Devotees of Lord Krishna are like Lord Krishna. And who is Lord Krishna? For whom the whole world is in the same state.
In one state.
Until that state is not within you, you cannot be of God. This is what God says. Sambhav, Saralbhav, God has repeatedly said this in the Bhagwat Gita. Until you don't see that, I am saying, you worship anyone,
you worship anyone, have faith in anyone, and have faith in your God, whom you worship, have faith in their teachings. I don't think that on any religion, education has ever been made illiterate.
Absolutely. Something has been said wrongly. You have misunderstood it. It is on your intellect. That is right. All the instructions are right.
Everywhere is right. And then you don't graduate in a day. You come in nursery class, you come in first, then you come in fifth, then you come in tenth, from primary to secondary, then you come to college, then you graduate, then you do master's, then you do PhD. So you can't talk about PhD while living in nursery. You have to go through a journey to get a PhD.
So either you get educated to do a PhD and then talk. Then when you talk, you might have some study and experience in your talk. So first, study and experience what you believe in. When you come to that stage, you won't have any rebellion in your mind. There won't be any opposition, no doubt. You will not see any living being with a bad intention.
You will see all as one in nature. Then I told you, someone asked me about Mahadev and Krishna. When Mahadev comes in love, he becomes Krishna. And when Krishna comes in love, he becomes Mahadev. Then everything is the same. I have a similar thought. It's a big incident.
I'll narrate a little bit.
Because the timing...
The timing is also... Because the podcast has become big. But we'll narrate it next time.
Okay.
Have you ever thought, Paras bhai? We always talked about the journey of Bhagwan. Bhagwan lived here in childhood, grew up here, killed Kans, then went there, then went there, became Dwarakadish, of Mahabharata, a 125 year journey. So, God was about 90 years old. Thakurji had come from Dwarka, Kurukshetra. There was a lot of discussion everywhere.
The Dwarka Dheesh had come. So, this news reached Gokul as well. It reached the Brijwasi as well. That Thakur from Dwarka has come to Kurukshetra. to So when the Brijvasi reached Kurukshetra, people were crowded to meet Thakur. Because Thakurji was discussed everywhere. Dwarkadhish is the creator of the universe,
he has such a wonderful energy. At that time, people used to hear stories of God from far away. So whoever knew that there is a God of God in Kurukshetra, they were coming to meet God. So the Brijwasi also came. And most of the people in Kurukshetra were from Dwarka.
They came with Thakurji. Thakurji's army also came there. Absolutely. So, now how are the Brijwasi's? Cowherds?
Hmm.
Wearing turban, wearing dhoti and kurta, holding a stick in their hands. Straight, simple, innocent. Who have only love inside. How are the people of Dwarka? They are very generous. They are standing.
Amongst these Brijwasis, an old woman and an old man. Both of them came. Purush. Wo dono bhi aaye. Un dono ne poochna shuru kiya, Kanaiya kahan hai? To Dwarka ke logon ne jawab diya, kaun Kanaiya? Bola hai, re lalla kahan hai? Kana kahan hai? Suna hai, Kana aaya hai yahan? To Dwarka ke logon ne bola ki, kaun Kana has come here. So the people of Dwarka said, who Kana? Whom are you talking about?
They said, Krishna. They said, how can you take his name so easily? Lalla, what kind of language is this? He is Dwarka's leader, Shri Krishna Chandra. He is Maharaj Krishna. wo, sammaan se naam lo. Ab yeh bujurg maila aur jo purush hai, wo thode se saham gaye,
seedeh saadeh, bhole bhale, brijwasi, unhone bola ki, achha, Dwarka dheesh Shri Krishnachandra Maharaj? He said, there is a line of people who want to meet him. Go ahead. She went ahead. Slowly she reached ahead.
Now the old woman can't see him. She can see him less. She has grown old. She reaches near the Dwarpal and tells him that Dwarkadheesh has to meet Shri Krishna Chandra, Maharaj. You tell him that we have come. We have come from bridge, from Gokul.
Now this thing was known to every soldier of Dwarkadhish knew that Thakur had a connection with Gokul, with the bridge. So, that Dwarkadhis I am Nand and this is Yashoda. He has been with us for 11 and a half years. He fed me. I fed him in my lap. Go and tell him that your Nand Baba has come, Yashoda Maiya has come.
When Dwarapal heard this, he fell at my feet. He said, you are Nand Baba? You are Yashoda Maiya? His hands started shaking. He was standing with his hands joined. He said, even though our Maharaj is the son of Devaki Maa and Vasudev's son. But whenever his birthday comes, it is said, Nand ghar aaya nand bhaiyo, Jai Kanhaiya Lal ki. We know everything.
Dwarpal ran to Thakurji. He went and said, Maharaj, Maharaj is busy, Thakurji is busy meeting people and talking to them. The servants are standing here, sitting on the throne and smiling. The one wearing the Pithambari, the one wearing the peacock crown is Krishna. Maharaj Shri Krishna Chandra.
Dwarpal was seeing the mess, but still he couldn't stop himself.
Dwarpal didn't have the capacity to stop the God, but still he stopped him and said, Maharaj, Nand Baba and Yashoda Maiya have come from Gokul. So, Krishna looks at Dwapal and asks, What did you say? That Nand Baba and Yashoda Maiya have come from Gokul. And Krishna becomes calm.
Here, Nand Baba and Yashoda Maiya are walking towards the palace. They are not even able to walk. Yashoda Maiya has become old. She looks in front of her. She is wearing a big throne, wearing a Pitambari, wearing a peacock crown. She is looking amazing, looking so beautiful.
Krishna is sitting there. It is so bright and I can see the clouds. Krishna is sitting there. Nanda Baba is watching with His eyes filled with tears. Yashoda Maiya is watching. Lord Krishna does not have enough power in His body to walk. He has become stable.
I think this will be the first moment in his life where the consciousness of the infinite universe has become stable. Where his capacity has been exhausted.
This will be the first moment where he could not even blow the Ashram with his eyes. He became still. And when Krishna realizes, he runs towards him. He is looking at Yashoda Maiya. She has become old. He is looking at Nand Baba. He is unable to speak. He says, Mother! And Yashoda says, Dwarka, Sri Krishna, Chandra, Maharaj! He says, Mother, I am your son, your son, don't say like this. to Nanda Baba cries bitterly.
Krishna Kanhaiya cries bitterly. All the residents of Brij and Dwarka are watching. Everyone is watching in the full court that their lord has tears in her eyes. The one who is the most powerful, the most powerful, the creator of the infinite universe, tears are in her eyes. This was the meeting of Thakurji, Shuddamaiya and Anand Baba.
I will tell this story again, I don't have the capacity to do it.
You are telling me to break up? I'm so happy. I was a little lost for the past two days. I had so much work to do, I had to do a podcast. By the grace of Radha Rani, people are loving me so much. So I had to prepare episodes for them. I was not getting time. I was feeling very disconnected for the past two days.
Thank you, brother. Thank you, Thakurji. Thank you for putting me in this job.
Thank you, Radakurji. Thank you, Radha Harani. Thank you, Thakurji. Who are we? We keep on discussing our Lord. It is His love that gave us so much capacity that we could mention Him so much. Otherwise, on this earth, there are so many people
who can't even say His name.
Absolutely.
Can I tell you one more thing? Yes. Which we have decided.
Yes.
Hmm.
So on the last podcast, Bhai had said that Gita Ji is kept in 90% of people's homes.
Yes.
It is kept. Closed in a red cloth. And no one reads it. So we have decided, on your request, that we will now
read 18 verses of Gita Ji. You will get 18 episodes of it. 18 chapters.
18 chapters, sorry. 750 verses. I haven't read it either. And you know, you said that after watching my previous podcast on my YouTube channel... People have ruined my life. And on my Facebook page, a lot of people messaged me. Although I had said it on Zoom, I had also put it on my YouTube channel.
Absolutely. So many people messaged me saying that we have decided to do it in a beautiful way. We will try to make the Shreemad Bhagwat Gita reach everyone as soon as possible.
Absolutely.
So we are bringing a new show soon. Bhagwat Gita Narration by Anujbhai.
Thakurji. It will the first time I'm hearing this. This is the first time I'm hearing this.
This is the first time I'm hearing this. This is the first time I'm hearing this. This is the first time I'm hearing this.
This is the first time I'm hearing this. There are people who ask me how can I talk to you? So I want to give you a message.
Please, please, please.
That if you have such questions in your mind, you can go to my Facebook Messenger or my YouTube channel and write your questions. I definitely check Facebook Messenger and Instagram. And although I get thousands of messages, but I feel that it is God's grace that the answer to a question that is very important, that question comes to me automatically.
So you can message me there.
Okay. So a very good show is coming up on Bhagwat Gita, which you will get to see soon. And if you want to talk to Bhai, if you want to message him, then message him directly. If you are lucky, you will get his reply. Because so many messages come, who all will you want to talk to your brother, if you want to message him, then message him directly. If you get lucky, you will get his reply. Because there are so many messages, who all do we reply to?
Correct, correct. Whatever God wants will reach you. And there are so many things that we have already said. And people ask the same questions.
So what's the answer in that?
So they should listen carefully.
So start listening carefully. Start listening to satsang, you'll get all the answers. So that's it for today's podcast. But I didn't know how 2-2.5 hours went by. And I wasn't even full yet, but Bhai said, it's been 2 hours, let's save some for next time. But still, the ending story that I gave you was a plus on that we'll complete this story next time.
Okay?
So that's it for today's beautiful podcast. I wish you all a very happy Radha Ashtami. Chant Radha's name and remember her with all your heart and soul. And there's no need to do anything else.
Okay, brother? Okay, brother?
Hare Krishna Radhe Radhe.
