Maharaj ji Namaste 🙏. Hare Krishna..thank you very much I always enjoy your videos it's very interesting teaching of your. I really appreciate your time and kindness. I have learned a lot God bless you now and always have a great and blessful day love ❤️ you
This is with reference to the second excuse, Maharaj. यदा किञ्चिज्ज्ञोऽहं द्विप इव मदान्ध: समभवम् तदा सर्वज्ञोऽस्मीत्यभवदवलिप्तं मम मन:। यदा किञ्चित्किञ्चिद्बुधजनसकाशादवगतं तदा मूर्खोऽस्मीति ज्वर इव मदो मे व्यपगत:॥ When I had little knowledge, I had become blind by pride like an elephant (during rut). Then my mind was proud , thinking that I am an omniscient. As and when I realized bit by bit in the association of wise men, my pride waned like a fever, as I came to know that I was a fool, actually.
Did Arjuna chant 16 rounds a day like we do in this age? Although most days I hit 16 rounds, this is the biggest challenge for me to complete. I have to get up at 4am to get some rounds done which means I'm so tired in the evening to spend time with my husband who then complains that I'm so tired in the evening. I continue chanting but it is a daily struggle to complete them.
First all our sins get destroyed by chanting, keep chanting and once you will get the taste then it will be the most joyful activity in the world. Sutra is simple - Chant struggle and then be happy. Hare krishna 🙏🙏 P.S. - It's our duty to serve our better half, so even if ur tired you should spend time with him and serve him, you can wake up little late and chant but you should take care of him such as he doesn't think my wife is chanting and that's why this is happening, perhaps you should even serve him more now and love him such that he is more pleased now and he also appreciates and maybe start chanting. This is preaching by example and we should do our duty to fullest as well which is also said by Lord. Forgive me if anything hurts you, this was some big words from an insignificant soul. Forgive me for anything 🙏🙏
Hare Krsna Mataji, In Bhagwad gita we see that krsna says Satataa kirtaynto mam (always chant my name) show according to gita we should chant whole day but it's prabhupada's mercy that he said Chant minimum 16 rounds and follow 4 regulative principal and we can atain goloka. Heard from my siksha guru, I am struggling as well but we have to understand that we are conditioned from time immemorial so it will take us a bit long to attain perfection but with th time it all comes,. I wrote this thing not jist for you but more for me cause i always complain in side my mind, so forgive me if i am wrong somewhere and correct me pls. Your servent,
Chapter 1 Arjuna said "Men like Bhima, and Dhrona are worthy of worship: How can I go before them like a war ship? 4 Better to live by begging, Than to live after killing Those teachers and superiors, though desiring Worldly gains, will only blood taint 5 Everything I will enjoy surviving a faint! Nevertheless, all of you must support our grandfather: So that at strategic entry points there is no bother!" 11 Then everyone heard a loud lion like roar, The sound coming from Bhisma's conch shell's core. As the Kuru's grandsire who gets everyone's adore Blew his conch shell filling every pore Of Dhuriyodana with joy more! 12 Rending the sky and earth, the din thundered without a break, Shattering the Kaurava hearts to make Their courage and confidence shake! 19 I can't stand here any more, My mind is tore, I forget even my true core! I see only misfortune for me in store! 30 Turning point (31-42) Can killing my own kin bring any good? Even if it surely should Bring victory, kingdom or happiness under its hood, I don't desire in my present mood! 31 Oh Janardhana! These men are of the breed Who in every way overtaken by greed, See in killing friends or family no fault indeed; But why should we, though of the same seed Who see the crime, heed To their sinful creed? 37-38
Chapter 2 Identity (11-30) For, there was never a time when I, you or all these kings didn't exist 11 Nor will there be any in the future, where they will fail to persist! 12 As the body passes from boyhood to youth to old age So does the trapped soul passes to another body-cage! 13 A sober person is bewildered not by such a change. As winter and summer appear and disappear, Happiness and distress are never permanently near As they are sense perceptions mere Without being disturbed tolerate them, dear! Only if you could acquire such gear, 2 14-15 Could you be assured that liberation is here! Oh Dhananjaya, distance activities abominable: By being devotional service capable Sure, you will become "miser" able 2 49 If you strive to find action fruits enjoyable! Devotional service in action, Rids you of all good and bad reaction; Even in this life you will get his sanction If you do the (art of all work) yoga as your function. 50 By engaging in service devotional, Sages are freed from work result material; Escaping from birth and death ethereal, Reach the state beyond all miseries terrestrial. 51 Once beyond the dense forest of delusion, All heard and to be heard will appear as illusion. 52 When desire for sense gratification is nil, To satisfy desires there is no will, False ego gets a kill, Sense of proprietorship is ill, Then only does real peace fill! 71 Chapter 3 Devotees from sin are released, Eating only offered food, which the Lord pleased. Others who prepare food for sense pleasure, Eat only sin for sure! 13 Chapter 4 Whoever is action-fruit renounced, Devotional service pronounced, All doubts, by transcendental knowledge obliterated, In the self factually situated, Is from reactions liberated. 41 Ignorance born doubt Should be smashed by knowledge weapon stout: Thus yoga-armed, enemies you rout!
Chapter 5 Renunciation mere, Cannot make one cheer; But just devotion sheer: (nothing other than) Gets the Supreme near! 6 The Krsna conscious Though he sees, sees not, Hears, hears not Touches, touches not Smells, smells not Nay, moving, sleeping and breathing all though done: But none really by him done! For it is just the senses which do every act: Really: he is aloof from them, for a fact! 8 -9 Chapter 6 For one who conquers the mind, Happiness and distress don’t bind! Heat and cold are of the same fold! Honor and dishonour, both gold! For, he has tranquility in hold, And can reach Supersoul as told! 7
Chapter 9 If one who is engaged in devotional service considerable, Commits an action most abominable, He is still a saint and not condemnable, If he is firmly to Me devotion able! 30 Make your mind think of Me always, Become my devotee without sways, Offer obeisance, worship Me in many ways Get absorbed in Me in a complete way. You can then miss coming to Me in no way! 34 Chapter 11 Thinking of you as my comrade: I put you in equal grade, Calling you, Krsna, Yadava in love or madness, Relaxing in the same bed and joking in mirthfulness, Dishonored you many a time in casualness, Eating together in jest or with others in togetherness, Oh infallible one, excuse me for all those offensiveness! 41-42 Of this complete cosmic manifestation, you are the sire, You are the only worshipable chief, as none is higher! None greater than or equal to you in all the three worlds exist As immeasurable power of Yours will everywhere forever persist. 43 To the Supreme worshippable Lord of every being, Paying obeisances, I fall down and ask your mercy on this fledgling, Just as a father tolerates a son’s impudence, A friend, his friend’s impertinence, A husband, his wife’s familiar insolence, For the wrongs I have done, show me a similar tolerance. 44 Chapter 15 That sun which removes all darkness- Its splendor is from me in all frankness; So is that of the moon and of the fire, They cease to exist if I am not near! I keep every planet in orbit I also become the moon - to make it lit: To nourish vegetables and make them fit. With juice of life in every bit. 13 Chapter 16 Lust, anger and greed are the three gates leading to hell; All throw them in soul degrading shell, A sane man should give these up, if he wants to be well! 21 Chapter 18 Arjuna said “My dear infallible Krsna, my illusions are now gone, By your mercy my memory is now reborn, I am now firm and doubt free, To act according to your instruction in a lively spree! 73 Sanjaya said: Thus I have heard this conversation, So wonderful is the message in concentration, That my hair is standing up in admiration! 74 By the mercy of Vyasa I have heard this talk, confidential, From Krsna, the mystic master providential, Recalling which I get deep inside pleasure, not just superficial, As I remember the wonderful form of Krsna so special, I rejoice again and again, consequential! 75 - 77 Wherever there is Krnsa the all mystics - master Wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer There will be opulence, victory, power and morality This is my opinion, in totality. 78

This is with reference to the second excuse, Maharaj. यदा किञ्चिज्ज्ञोऽहं द्विप इव मदान्ध: समभवम् तदा सर्वज्ञोऽस्मीत्यभवदवलिप्तं मम मन:। यदा किञ्चित्किञ्चिद्बुधजनसकाशादवगतं तदा मूर्खोऽस्मीति ज्वर इव मदो मे व्यपगत:॥

Hare Krishna Prabhuji. Can you please give the reference of the shloka that you have quoted.

I have to get up at 4am to get some rounds done which means I'm so tired in the evening to spend time with my husband who then complains that I'm so tired in the evening. I continue chanting but it is a daily struggle to complete them.
Struggling in 16 rounds is far better than Struggling in 84 lakhs species....Hare Krishna
No He Don't chant 16 rather he do satat chanting (24hrs)..
First all our sins get destroyed by chanting, keep chanting and once you will get the taste then it will be the most joyful activity in the world. Sutra is simple -
Chant struggle and then be happy.
Hare krishna 🙏🙏
P.S. - It's our duty to serve our better half, so even if ur tired you should spend time with him and serve him, you can wake up little late and chant but you should take care of him such as he doesn't think my wife is chanting and that's why this is happening, perhaps you should even serve him more now and love him such that he is more pleased now and he also appreciates and maybe start chanting.

Your servent,
Would you come to India
Chapter 1
Arjuna said "Men like Bhima, and Dhrona are worthy of worship:
How can I go before them like a war ship? 4
Better to live by begging,
Than to live after killing
Those teachers and superiors, though desiring
Worldly gains, will only blood taint 5
Everything I will enjoy surviving a faint!
Nevertheless, all of you must support our grandfather:
So that at strategic entry points there is no bother!" 11
Then everyone heard a loud lion like roar,
The sound coming from Bhisma's conch shell's core.
As the Kuru's grandsire who gets everyone's adore
Blew his conch shell filling every pore
Of Dhuriyodana with joy more! 12
Rending the sky and earth, the din thundered without a break,
Shattering the Kaurava hearts to make
Their courage and confidence shake! 19
I can't stand here any more,
My mind is tore,
I forget even my true core!
I see only misfortune for me in store! 30
Turning point (31-42)
Can killing my own kin bring any good?
Even if it surely should
Bring victory, kingdom or happiness under its hood,
I don't desire in my present mood! 31
Oh Janardhana! These men are of the breed
Who in every way overtaken by greed,
See in killing friends or family no fault indeed;
But why should we, though of the same seed
Who see the crime, heed
To their sinful creed? 37-38
Chapter 2
Identity (11-30)
For, there was never a time when I, you or all these kings didn't exist 11
Nor will there be any in the future, where they will fail to persist! 12
As the body passes from boyhood to youth to old age
So does the trapped soul passes to another body-cage! 13
A sober person is bewildered not by such a change.
As winter and summer appear and disappear,
Happiness and distress are never permanently near
As they are sense perceptions mere
Without being disturbed tolerate them, dear!
Only if you could acquire such gear, 2 14-15
Could you be assured that liberation is here!
Oh Dhananjaya, distance activities abominable:
By being devotional service capable
Sure, you will become "miser" able 2 49
If you strive to find action fruits enjoyable!
Devotional service in action,
Rids you of all good and bad reaction;
Even in this life you will get his sanction
If you do the (art of all work) yoga as your function. 50
By engaging in service devotional,
Sages are freed from work result material;
Escaping from birth and death ethereal,
Reach the state beyond all miseries terrestrial. 51
Once beyond the dense forest of delusion,
All heard and to be heard will appear as illusion. 52
When desire for sense gratification is nil,
To satisfy desires there is no will,
False ego gets a kill,
Sense of proprietorship is ill,
Then only does real peace fill! 71
Chapter 3
Devotees from sin are released,
Eating only offered food, which the Lord pleased.
Others who prepare food for sense pleasure,
Eat only sin for sure! 13
Chapter 4
Whoever is action-fruit renounced,
Devotional service pronounced,
All doubts, by transcendental knowledge obliterated,
In the self factually situated,
Is from reactions liberated. 41
Ignorance born doubt
Should be smashed by knowledge weapon stout:
Thus yoga-armed, enemies you rout!
Chapter 5
Renunciation mere,
Cannot make one cheer;
But just devotion sheer: (nothing other than)
Gets the Supreme near! 6
The Krsna conscious
Though he sees, sees not,
Hears, hears not
Touches, touches not
Smells, smells not
Nay, moving, sleeping and breathing all though done:
But none really by him done!
For it is just the senses which do every act:
Really: he is aloof from them, for a fact! 8 -9
Chapter 6
For one who conquers the mind,
Happiness and distress don’t bind!
Heat and cold are of the same fold!
Honor and dishonour, both gold!
For, he has tranquility in hold,
And can reach Supersoul as told! 7
Chapter 9
If one who is engaged in devotional service considerable,
Commits an action most abominable,
He is still a saint and not condemnable,
If he is firmly to Me devotion able! 30
Make your mind think of Me always,
Become my devotee without sways,
Offer obeisance, worship Me in many ways
Get absorbed in Me in a complete way.
You can then miss coming to Me in no way! 34
Chapter 11
Thinking of you as my comrade:
I put you in equal grade,
Calling you, Krsna, Yadava in love or madness,
Relaxing in the same bed and joking in mirthfulness,
Dishonored you many a time in casualness,
Eating together in jest or with others in togetherness,
Oh infallible one, excuse me for all those offensiveness! 41-42
Of this complete cosmic manifestation, you are the sire,
You are the only worshipable chief, as none is higher!
None greater than or equal to you in all the three worlds exist
As immeasurable power of Yours will everywhere forever persist. 43
To the Supreme worshippable Lord of every being,
Paying obeisances, I fall down and ask your mercy on this fledgling,
Just as a father tolerates a son’s impudence,
A friend, his friend’s impertinence,
A husband, his wife’s familiar insolence,
For the wrongs I have done, show me a similar tolerance. 44
Chapter 15
That sun which removes all darkness-
Its splendor is from me in all frankness;
So is that of the moon and of the fire,
They cease to exist if I am not near!
I keep every planet in orbit
I also become the moon - to make it lit:
To nourish vegetables and make them fit.
With juice of life in every bit. 13
Chapter 16
Lust, anger and greed are the three gates leading to hell;
All throw them in soul degrading shell,
A sane man should give these up, if he wants to be well! 21
Chapter 18
Arjuna said “My dear infallible Krsna, my illusions are now gone,
By your mercy my memory is now reborn,
I am now firm and doubt free,
To act according to your instruction in a lively spree! 73
Sanjaya said: Thus I have heard this conversation,
So wonderful is the message in concentration,
That my hair is standing up in admiration! 74
By the mercy of Vyasa I have heard this talk, confidential,
From Krsna, the mystic master providential,
Recalling which I get deep inside pleasure, not just superficial,
As I remember the wonderful form of Krsna so special,
I rejoice again and again, consequential! 75 - 77
Wherever there is Krnsa the all mystics - master
Wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer
There will be opulence, victory, power and morality
This is my opinion, in totality. 78
No time, very busy, will do later
Sounds too low prabhu
