| :vivasvan manave prahur | | Ladies and Gentlemen, I thank you very much for your kindly participating in this great movement. This movement is not started by me. This was started long, long years ago by Kṛṣṇa Himself. Firstly, He spoke this philosophy of Bhagavad-gītā to the sun-god. As it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, Fourth Chapter, |
| :manur iksvakave 'bravit | | |
| :([[Vanisource:BG 4.1|BG 4.1]]) | | :imaṁ vivasvate yogaṁ |
| :evam parampara-praptam | | :proktavān aham avyayam |
| :imam rajarsayo viduh | | :vivasvān manave prāhur |
| :([[Vanisource:BG 4.2|BG 4.2]]) | | :manur ikṣvākave 'bravīt |
| <p>So if we calculate the age of Manu, it comes to the point of forty millions of years. So Krsna said that forty millions of years ago, at least, He spoke this philosophy of Bhagavad-gita to the sun-god, Vivasvan. The name of the predominating deity in the sun planet is Vivasvan. His son, Manu, Vaivasvata Manu... His son, Iksvaku, the original person in the dynasty Surya-vamsa, in which Lord Ramacandra appeared, Iksvaku... So in this way this Krsna consciousness movement is coming since a very, very long time. But Krsna said, evam parampara-praptam imam rajarsayo viduh ([[Vanisource:BG 4.2|BG 4.2]]): "Formerly the rajarsis, they used to receive this instruction through the chain of disciplic succession." That was the way of understanding Bhagavad-gita. But Krsna said, sa kaleneha yogo nasto parantapa. Now Krsna, five thousand years ago, when Krsna was talking with Arjuna in the Battlefield of Kuruksetra, he was perplexed whether to fight or not to fight, and just to enthuse him in the fighting, He spoke this Bhagavad-gita five thousand years ago to Arjuna. And He said there that "The parampara system, disciplic succession, is now broken; therefore I am speaking to you again so that people may learn from you what is the purport of this philosophy, Krsna consciousness."</p>
| | :([[Vanisource:BG 4.1 (1972)|BG 4.1]]) |
| <p>So five thousand years ago this philosophy was spoken to Arjuna, and we are having the instruction. Unfortunately that is again being distorted. Because we do not receive through the parampara system, we inference, we make inferences in our own way, and therefore it is also again broken. Therefore again, five hundred years ago, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructed this Bhagavad-gita as a devotee. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is supposed to be incarnation of Krsna. As Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He instructed as the order-giving master, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66|BG 18.66]]), but still, people misunderstood. Therefore this time, five hundred years ago, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Krsna Himself, appeared as a devotee of Krsna. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krsna. That is described in the authentic sastra:</p>
| | |
| :krsna-varnam tvisakrsnam | | :evaṁ paramparā-prāptam |
| :sangopangastra-parsadam | | :imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ |
| :yajnair sankirtanaih prayair | | :([[Vanisource:BG 4.2 (1972)|BG 4.2]]) |
| :yajanti hi su-medhasah | | |
| :([[Vanisource:SB 11.5.32|SB 11.5.32]]) | | So if we calculate the age of Manu, it comes to the point of forty millions of years. So Kṛṣṇa said that forty millions of years ago at least, He spoke this philosophy of Bhagavad-gītā to the sun-god, Vivasvān. The name of the predominating deity in the sun planet is Vivasvān. His son, Manu, Vaivasvata Manu; His son, Ikṣvāku, the original person in the dynasty Sūrya-vaṁśa, in which Lord Rāmacandra appeared, Ikṣvāku. So in this way this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is coming since a very, very long time. But Kṛṣṇa said, evaṁ paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 4.2 (1972)|BG 4.2]]): "Formerly the rājarṣis, they used to receive this instruction through the chain of disciplic succession." That was the way of understanding Bhagavad-gītā. But Kṛṣṇa said, sa kāleneha yogo naṣṭo parantapa. Now Kṛṣṇa, five thousand years ago, when Kṛṣṇa was talking with Arjuna in the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra, he was perplexed whether to fight or not to fight, and just to enthuse him in the fighting, He spoke this Bhagavad-gītā five thousand years ago to Arjuna. And He said there that "The paramparā system, disciplic succession, is now broken; therefore I am speaking to you again so that people may learn from you what is the purport of this philosophy, Kṛṣṇa consciousness." |
| <p>So this Krsna consciousness movement is practically Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's movement. And Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krsna Himself. So Krsna is very kind upon the conditioned soul. He is trying to elevate them to the real platform of Krsna consciousness again and again. But we are so stubborn, we are trying to forget Krsna again and again. This is going on.</p>
