NVD rath 1

[singing and music] [clears throat] I like to dedicate this class to my dear disciple, Madhurya Aisvarya Devi Dasi, who's a Jagannath bhakta bhaktin through and through. You just mention Jagannath, Subhadra, Baladeva, Ratha Yatra, her eyes become full of tears. Jai Jagannath. Okay. Srila Prabhupada ki.

So, tomorrow we will be holding a very joyous um Ratha Yatra parade. Um I think from the the reception at the very uh beginning of the community up to here, so I thought this evening as a prelude we would get into the mood of Ratha Yatra by discussing this festival as described by Srila Jiva Goswami.

I was thinking that you could say it all began when Krishna left Vrindavan to Mathura on Kamsa's invitation to engage in a wrestling match. We all know that past time. Kamsa knew, of course, from that oracle, from that voice from the sky, that the sixth uh son of Devaki would be his death. So, when Krishna appeared in the jailhouse of Vasudeva and Devaki, Vasudeva very quickly, mystically, transferred uh Krishna to other side of the Yamuna to Yamuna to Gokul. And every day that asura Kamsa was sending a different demon to Gokul to try to kill Krishna. But Krishna's godhood remained intact even when he was a baby. As a little baby, he killed Putana. As a young child, it was Balaram, Dinakasura, so many demons. Yes.

So, at one point, his father, Nanda Maharaj, mother Yashoda, we have to leave Gokul. And they went to a little mountain not far away called Nandagaon or Nandagram. So, Kamsa said, "I have another plan here. So, what I'll do is I'll invite Krishna and his little brother, actually his big brother Dauji, to come to Mathura and I'll kill them here." Actually, I'll give that privilege to my two main wrestlers, Mustika and Huh? Chanura. They can kill these boys easily. So, he sent Akura, one of his ministers, dedicated minister, who actually was an undercover devotee. Akura was a great devotee. And Akura took a chariot to Vrindavan to pick up Krishna and Balaram, bring them to Mathura.

So, from here on the pastime it goes very deep. On that particular occasion where Akura came into Braj and he sat Krishna and Balaram on the chariot and started to drive away, all the residents of Vrindavan, and especially the gopis, and especially Vrindavan Ishwari, Shrimati Radharani, they were plunged into an ocean of separation.

As much as you're attached to something, this is Niti Shastra. As much as you're attached to something, when you lose it, you feel the pain of separation. If I lose this little these little pills that actually finished, um okay, no big thing. But if I lose my watch, ouch. So as much as you're attached to something, if you lose it, you feel the separation. Now, the residents of Vrindavan, they loved Krishna more than anyone's ever been loved before. And Krishna loves the residents of Vrindavan more than anyone's ever been loved before because love is a two-way street. It's reciprocal. But no one felt the pain more deeply than Srimati Radharani and the gopis. Because Krishna was literally their life and soul. So as Akrura prepared to, you know, take Krishna and Balaram on his chariot, the gopis felt as if their lives were being torn from them. It's a transcendentally pathetic scene. pathetic Volumes of literature and volumes of different songs and poems and bhajans have been written just about that particular moment. We call it vipralambha bhava that manifests in the hearts of the gopis and Radha Rani particular because she has the topmost love. There's an Oriya or recent bhajan about called Mathura Mandala that about this particular episode. It goes on for days and days and days just about those few moments when the chariot was pulling away. One of my friends of Gaudiya Vaishnava, Fakir Mohan, he would sing this bhajan and tears would come to his eyes. It describes that some of these gopis these girls, they threw themselves on the road in front of the chariot and they cried out, "If Krishna must leave, then let the wheels of the chariot roll over our bodies. We cannot live without Krishna. Our very lives are leaving us." "Let us die here rather than remain behind without Krishna. This is pure devotional service."

Now, seeing their unbearable suffering, it's it's suffering but it's not suffering like we experience in this world. And again suffering that suffering makes you remember Krishna more intensely and the more you remember Krishna intensely, the more joy there is in your heart. As I say separation makes the heart grow fonder in separation. You miss somebody more and more and more even more than when you're with them. So it's a transcendental trick by the Lord to get his devotees attached to him. So get ready. So seeing their unbearable suffering, all these different groups of gopis just crying, crying. They actually made the dry dust the braj renu very wet. It was like a big mud puddle because of the tears of the gopis. So seeing their unbearable suffering, Krishna tried to console them. He said "Listen to me. My dear gopis, I must go to Mathura for a short time. There is a duty I must perform there. But I promise you >> [clears throat] >> I will return. Very soon I will come back." So the chariots say that those words became the only hope by which the gopis continued to live. Those words were the hope that maintained the lives of the gopis.

>> [clears throat] >> Every day they waited, every day they waited, every day they waited for him to return. He never came back. He never came back. Rather, after staying some time in Mathura, as we know, Krishna went to Dwarka by the sea, where he ruled as a king with other ladies, 16,108 wives. That's also spoken here, that's a very beautiful relationship. But, he missed the gopis. The gopis missed Krishna, Krishna missed the gopis because Krishna spent 100 years in Dwarka. He spent more time in Dwarka than he spent in Vrindavan and Mathura combined. That's mainly where he was. So, it wasn't really like 100 years because O Govinda, feeling your separation, I'm considering a moment to be like 12 years or more. Tears are flowing from my eyes like torrents of rain. So, it wasn't 100 years, you multiply it ad infinitum, actually. Because in Krishna's separation, a moment seemed like 1,000 years. This is Braj bhakti.

So the Gopis feelings of separation they went on and on and on. But there seemed to be a light at the end of the tunnel. But because rumor had it that Krishna after a long time, he was going to go to Kurukshetra, which is a sacred place since time immemorial, along with the people of Dvaraka because there was going to be a big solar eclipse. Eclipses are very, you know, auspicious. Especially solar eclipses. So during those occasions, people either stay inside or they go and they stand waist-deep in a holy river. Or they go to sacred place where uh the eclipse will have very little effect. So of course it's all arranged by Yogamaya, by Purnamasi. She arranges all these different pastimes to increase the one very intensely one's love for Krishna because love for Krishna it goes on ad infinitum. Our material minds can't conceive it cuz everything we experience has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Even love, which is the highest happiness and satisfies the heart more than anything else in the But that love for Krishna, it just goes on and on and on and on and on. Especially in Vipralambha bhava, separation.

So, Purnamasi arranged this so all the Dwaraka vasis and Krishna they went to Kurukshetra where In Dwaraka Krishna is a king, he's dressed in royal beautiful crown and you know, a particular dress and certain ornaments. It's very different than when he's in Vrindavan, just running around barefoot. Huge parade of, you know, the ministers and the king Krishna and the inhabitants of Dwaraka on the royal road from Dwaraka to Kurukshetra just in time for the before the eclipse took place. So, the word spread, the word spread that Krishna's leaving Dwaraka and he's coming to uh Kurukshetra to be protected from the solar eclipse.

This was the best news that the residents of Vrindavan had heard in 100 years because Krishna spent 100 years in Dvaraka, which is millenniums, in the hearts of the Braja basis. So, hearing this, the residents of Vrindavan, and particularly the young maidens of Braja and Vadarani, um they decided to go to Kurukshetra to see Krishna. If Krishna didn't come back to Vrindavan, they'll go to see him. So, of course, Kurukshetra is quite far from Dvaraka, but it's not so far from Vrindavan. It's far from Dvaraka, but it's not Kurukshetra is not far from Vrindavan. Actually, 1 year 2 years ago, we on Kartik Parikrama, we went to Kurukshetra. It was just about 285 km. I was shocked. You know, it was so close.

Now, Jiva Goswami says, "Along the way, the residents of Vrindavan, and particularly the Gopis, one would expect that these Braja basis would be singing songs about Krishna." Smiling and joyful. But Jiva Goswami says that during that time, actually, they were unable to sing because they were overwhelmed by the possibility of seeing him again after so many years. They were overwhelmed with just the expectation of seeing him, not actually being with him, but these different um symptoms of love of God were manifested in their bodies as described their teeth chattered and their voices choked. And if any words came out of their mouth, the words were all garbled and their minds became confused. It said that they even forgot to eat or sleep. You can just imagine finding the opportunities, Sri Krishna.

So, as they approached Kurukshetra, they came very close to Kurukshetra. It's described they could smell the aroma of Krishna's transcendental body and they went mad. Now, Paurnamasi arranged it that Krishna and the Vrashni Vasis they arrived at Kurukshetra around the same time. So, first Krishna met with Mother Yasoda and Nanda Maharaj. when I talked about Krishna. And they were overjoyed to see their loving son again, but Jiva Goswami says they treated him as any parents would treat their child. Krishna's all grown up, but he left when uh he was a child, so their relationship's about salyarized like mother and son or father and son. They that they maintain that no matter what happens. So, it's described when Krishna came, Mother Yashoda put big Krishna on her lap. >> Krishna is a child. >> the mood. It doesn't change that that Satyabhama doesn't change that she's but so so the the emperor or the king sitting on her lap, she's talking to her like a little child. >> Is Krishna >> So, then Krishna met with at different other residents of of Vrindavan, and finally he went to find the Gopis. And finding them in a secluded place, he expressed his love for them, but even he was there with him, the Gopis' hearts were not satisfied. And this is very nicely described by Srila Prabhupada in the in the Krishna book because Krishna had come to Kurukshetra dressed as the King of Dwarka, but the Gopis didn't want to see Krishna in royal dress. They He was surrounded by servants and elephants and armies. They wanted to see that same coward boy in Vrindavan with his flute and his peacock feather who wandered through the forest of Vrindavan with bare feet along the Jamuna river. That's how they remembered him. That's how they always think of him. So, they were kind of disturbed. You know, it's like what? >> [laughter] >> Where's that young lad? He's like a big king now. So, it didn't give them the same They couldn't express their love in the same way as before. So, that was very frustrating. And of course, Radha Rani was particularly overwhelmed. Rupa Goswami reveals her heart in Chaitanya Charitamrita Madhya Lila 1.76. And this pair also appears in Rupa Goswami's Padyavali text 3.87. Much later on, 500 years ago, we hear Chaitanya Mahaprabhu paraphrase this particular um saying by Srimati Radha Rani. And Rupa Goswami, understanding Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's heart because in Vrindavan, he's Sri Rupa Manjari. He uh wrote it down on a leaf, you could say. And um expressing what Radha Rani really said because Mahaprabhu spoke it in a mundane way so people wouldn't misunderstand. It's quite deep. She But the original quote comes from this meeting of the residents of Vrindavan with Krishna at Kurukshetra. So Radharani said that moment they saw Krishna as a king. She said the following. Quite amazing we get to see into the heart of Srimati Radharani. We're so blessed. My dear friend, she's speaking to Lalita. My dear friend, now I have met my very old and dear friend Krishna on this field of Kurukshetra. I'm the same Radharani and now we're meeting together. It is very pleasant but still I would like to go to the bank of the Yamuna beneath the trees of the forest there. I wish to hear the vibration of his sweet flute playing the fifth note within that forest of Vrindavan. Now in that famous verse composed from the heart of Radharani, she says, "I am the same Radharani." But the acharyas say she is and she isn't. If she is and she isn't, the same Radha Rani, what does that mean? Well, Jiva Goswami confirms in Krishna Sandarbha um verse 182, that Srimati Radha Rani and all the vraja vasis who met Krishna Kurukshetra, they were all expansions. Not the original forms, but expansions. It is because the vraja vasis, they would never leave Vrindavan. What to speak to go to a place that did not have the display the charming pastoral atmosphere of Vrindavan because that atmosphere is very conducive to Krishna's pastimes in the in the forest. These pastimes are all arranged by Paurnamasi. What birds will be there, what songs will sing, what the weather will be like, who will participate. It's all arranged, but it doesn't have the same mood on a battle where a battlefield a battle took place 5,000 year. It's a big stretch of land, Kurukshetra. Nothing much, but just a big So, they would never leave that atmosphere where they could love Krishna. So, they was these were expansions. Of course, pratibhu expansions the same as the original, but not according to acharya, it's not exactly the same. And to stress the point in Krishna Sandarbha 182 of four, Jiva Goswami, he quotes the vraja vasis. this regard he quotes them. We desired to stay in Vrindavan even more than we desired him. She was so important projects. Hi Krishna.

So anyway upon meeting Krishna immediately all the copies said please come back to Vrindavan. And they try to say actually Krishna wanted to go back to Vrindavan. Again because of residence of Vrindavan love Krishna more than anyone's ever been loved before. And Krishna loves his devotees the Raja buses especially more than anyone's ever been lived before loved before. So he also wanted to come back. That pastorial thing. So he asked them he asked the copies if he could think about it. Let me think about it. So meanwhile in the weeks that followed during the nights he would secretly have rasa dance with those copies at Kurukshetra. And the shastra says after 3 months had passed since the time of the solar eclipse many pilgrims had already left Kurukshetra to go back to their homes but copies stayed. And they kept asking Krishna have you made your decision yet if you're coming back to bridge?

So finally in consultation with Vasudeva and Devaki Krishna decided in fact he would return to Vrindavan. He said, "But after killing one or two more demons." Krishna's demon killer. What's the problem? He's a baby. His godhood was still manifest. He was killing so many demons. So he said, "Give me a chance kill couple more demons and I'll come back to Bros." So at that very moment the Gopis turned and they started running back to Vrindavan. Actually there there were different horse carts and ox carts and so. They just left, dropped everything. Went back to Vrindavan and prepare for Krishna's coming home. But as they left they knew it probably be some time until he actually came back. And so I was explaining. That's very interesting. It's described that upon leaving Radharani sat on a horse cart. At one point she stood up like a statue it's described staring into the clouds of dust behind her knowing that Krishna was traveling in the opposite direction to Dwaraka.

What a plot, what a transcendental plot. More interesting than any book people read or any movies they read because this is all dealing with with the deeper sentiments of of Raja Bhakti. She stood and she looked back as Krishna was going in the opposite direction. It's described that tears rolled down her cheeks just as rain pours from dark clouds during the monsoon season. We know that Radha Rani has very dear older not older gopis but young young older than the the younger gopis who are around five or six or something. These girls are like 10 or 11, the Astasakhis. So the main sakhi who helps Srimati Radha Rani is Lalita. So Lalita seeing Radha Rani standing on a moving chariot, she stood up and said Radha, you're you're not supposed to stand on these chariots. Please sit down. But Radha Rani was somewhat hesitant. She was still absorbed in seeing the dust of Krishna's chariot. So Lalita spoke a little stronger. Oh, Radha Rani, our beautiful friend, do not lament. It is well known that sacred Kurukshetra fulfills all desires. The great King Kuru tilled this land and made it fertile by his piety. Now Krishna has planted the seed of his promise here, a seed that will sprout and bear fruit by the time we arrive in Bridge. Rest assured that he for whom we came to Kurukshetra, giving up our homes and lands, will soon be tapping on your window, begging you to join him in a grove by the shore of the river Jamuna.

Now here the question may naturally arise in the hearts of devotees, did Krishna ever go back to Vrindavan? The question has been discussed and debated through centuries by various devotees, even amongst our tires there's different interpretations.

Jiva Goswami says Krishna did go back but aprakat literally meaning unmanifest pastimes. He's there but only those with pure vision, pure devotees can see those pastimes. That's aprakat. Prakat means like when Krishna was here 5,000 years ago. Even people like Shishupala, demons could see him. But when he left this planet to go back to the local Vrindavan, at the same time he remains in Vrindavan but only those with pure vision can see. So aprakat. So Jiva says he went back but in aprakat, unmanifested. But someone may say, "What about Rath Yatra?" Because as many of you know, but with Rath Yatras there in Jagannath Puri every year but the deeper understanding of Rath Yatra was that the residents of Vrindavan at Kurukshetra, they put Krishna, Balaram, Subhadra on these chariots and took him back to Vrindavan. That's the mood. That's why we're singing and dancing. Krishna's coming home to Braj. But But says he didn't go back. So, where's the Ratha Yatra? This big festival, this exciting Krishna, you know, the Ratha Yatra symbolizes many things that that that that the yoga, the union again between Krishna and his loving devotees. Wow, sambhog. This is wonderful. But he didn't go back, so it means there was no Ratha Yatra. Historically, I'm sorry to say. It's confirmed by Jiva Goswami. He says Ratha Yatra is a wish pastime. It's a wish pastime. It's the hope, it's the aspiration that Krishna will come back. It's the hope, it's the aspiration that I'll see Krishna, just like the Goswamis in Vrindavan. That's the mood. Where is Krishna now? Is he on the banks of the Jamuna? Is he at Govardhan Hill? Is he here? Is he there? This is the mood of searching for Krishna. It's there in the hearts of the devotees. But there is way I I hope you're not devastated. It's a wish pastime.

So, the question comes how can Krishna be so cruel? Well, there's two answers. Whenever Krishna's gone from Vrindavan or when he's gone from Vrindavan, his devotees feel his separation and their love increases. In separation, again, separation makes the heart grow fonder. It's a central theme in Krishna consciousness. Little hearts understand, but when we're advanced, we'll understand. And one time I actually asked Prabhupada this question. What is What is separation? Prabhupada was visiting our community, New Mayapur, in France, and he was giving darshan on the lawn outside the castle. So, Prabhupada was speaking how, you know, it was wonderful how devotees see Krishna everywhere. Actually, I'll quote the exact um exchange I had with Srila Prabhupada. I found the tape recently. It was like gold. Cuz I remembered asking Prabhupada a question about separation. You know, after 54 years, I Then I heard the tape. And I just like, "Oh my god. Thank you." I often play it before I go to sleep. Prabhupada said, "Are there any questions?" And I raised my hand cuz I wanted Prabhupada to see me, to know that I exist and that I'm his disciple. So probably said, "What is your question?" My question? But I actually had a question. I was just very nervous. So I said, "Prabhupada, you have mentioned several times in recent lectures that a pure devotee can see Krishna everywhere, that he is never out of your vision. At the same time in Shikshashtakam compares, Lord Chaitanya explains, "Oh Govinda, I'm feeling your separation to be like 12 years and more. I'm feeling all vacant in this world in your absence. Can you explain this apparent contradiction?" So Prabhupada lowered lowered his head like that and paused for a moment and he he looked directly at me and he said, "Yes, he's explaining how you can become mad without seeing Krishna, meaning in separation. He said, "That is the higher stage. It cannot be explained, but when you go higher and higher, you will understand." So we can take it Prabhupada's saying, "But when one goes higher and higher, he'll understand but prophet used that particular adjective. When you go higher and higher, take it like that. You'll understand. So, I'm still waiting. Please prophet, take me higher and higher so that I can understand these deeper moods of raja bhakti and I can serve you one day in the spiritual world. This is my hope and my dream. Hope against hope. Shri la Prabhupada ki.

So, that's the first reason to increase the separation. Krishna didn't go back. There's a second reason he didn't go back to Vrindavan. He said he has to kill one or two demons, but actually he had to kill a lot of demons. Jarasandha and others, he was afraid he might attack Vrindavan, so he went to Dwaraka and then he had established his kingdom and there from there we know from reading Krishna book there were at least 12 battles with Jarasandha. He's busy protecting the raja basis, killing the demons. Of course, uh Vishvanatha Chakravarti Thakura, he comments on this. He says, "What's the problem for Krishna to kill a to kill a few demons and go back to raja? He'd already proved himself to be a demon killer as a young boy."

But then Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura actually almost humorously he says that Krishna did not actually fight with the demons that come to the center of Vrindavan. He only played with them. Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura is a wonderful acharya. He he reveals so many details and love is in the details. It's so interesting to read his writings. He brings out things that you couldn't even imagine that are so relevant. Always said Krishna didn't fight the demons, he played with them. What does he mean by played? He says officially Krishna didn't kill Putana, he just sucked her breast. She came as a mother. He just sucked her breast like a little baby playing. Technically he didn't kill Trinavarta, he wanted to play in the sky. When he was up there he caught hold of Trinavarta to protect himself from falling. He didn't kill the Nakasura, he was simply playing as with a toy. And he says what about Aghasura? He said when Aghasura had taken Krishna and the boys within his mouth Krishna's body became burning like fire because of the digestive juices in Aghasura's stomach. So August opened his mouth because of indigestion.

And he just walked out. So, these are all pastimes connected to to Kurukshetra, where the residents of Vrindavan, the gopis and Radha Rani, went there with the idea of bringing Krishna back through Ratha Yatra, but it's a wish pastime, and that's good enough for us. Whoever the residents of Vrindavan were, their hearts were turned in these about various devotional moods. So, Kurukshetra's in that regard, it's a very special place. Our acharyas have commented that when Krishna was taken away from Vrindavan by Akrura, who can what can compare to the intensity of the feelings of separation of the gopis You know, I was beginning the class by explaining they were devastated. They were Akrura was taking their life away. But Bhaktimarta course says that that intensity was doubled. It was doubled in Kurukshetra because they were hoping that Krishna would come back. They were actually seeing him again. But he didn't come back. So, there was a double intensity. So, he said, "In some ways, Kurukshetra is even more glorious than Vrindavan because the moods were so deep." In Vrindavan, he's just going away. But in Kurukshetra, the gopis were thinking, "Maybe he'll come back." But it didn't happen. He didn't come back. So, they're expecting, but it didn't happen, so double. So, in that regard, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, he once surprised audience by saying, "Shallow thinkers are attracted to Vrindavan, but a person of genuine bhajan and deep spiritual aspiration may long to reside in Kurukshetra." We we think of Kurukshetra as where the battle took place, but actually Kurukshetra has been a holy place since time immemorial. That's why the Pandavas wanted to fight there cuz that they had the advantage of the spot. So, we think like that, but but but Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati this the churning of the moods of of of of of vipralambha very intense there. So, he said, "A person should long to reside in Kurukshetra. And in that regard, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati quoted his father, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. Bhaktivinoda Thakura once remarked, according to Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, "I would like to spend the last days of my life in Kurukshetra." But that's like a wish pastime for us cuz we want to follow Prabhupada's example and become eternal residents of Sri Vrindavan Dham. These are all very deep subject matters. I just explained this according to guru and shastra, these are some things we can meditate on tomorrow morning at 6:00 when we assemble at the entrance to this great community and we pull the chariot. It'll be more than a wish pastime. We're going to pour the bring Krishna back into our lives. Let's put it like that. The Ratha Yatra tomorrow. So, you can think about these things as you go to sleep and you can dream them and in the morning wake up and we'll see them with our own eyes as we pull the chariot here to this beautiful temple. for that thing. there's so much more to be said, actually. Because actually it was Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who revealed the deeper understanding of Ratha Yatra in in in Jagannath Puri. He actually explained who Jagannath actually is because through the millenniums different spiritual traditions have gone to Jagannath Puri, have ruled that area for hundreds of years like the Buddhists, the Shankarites, and they saw Jagannath in a different light than we see in Jagannath. We see him as Lord of the universe. So, there was some confusion over the years. But when Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, he spent 24 years in Jagannath Puri, he explained who Jagannath really is and he explained this mood of Ratha Yatra. And there he fulfilled the two purposes why he came, of course. Krishna fulfilled uh two purposes as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Sri Krishna Chaitanya Radha Krishna Yuga, you could say Radha Krishna, but Krishna wanted to establish the Yuga Dharma in Kali Yuga and he wanted to try to understand what is the nature of Radha Rani's love for him because he was the object. He wasn't the person experiencing it. But as everyone knows, her love is so great that it even conquers Krishna. Radha Rani doesn't do what Krishna says, Krishna does what Radha says because of her love. So, Krishna I want to understand this. So, he appeared as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and at Ratha Yatra along with his devotees, the loud tumultuous chanting of the Yuga Dharma could be seen. Hare Krishna And dancing in the mood of wanting to experience that love of Radha Rani because there's Krishna as Jagannath in the cart. He fulfilled that desire. So, Rath Yatra is a very, very special festival. And maybe tomorrow morning we'll continue speaking about Rath Yatra and at that aspect, a little bit closer to home. Uh how Chaitanya Mahaprabhu revealed the glories of Rath Yatra.

Cuz uh Chaitanya Mahaprabhu And because Jagannath is Lord of the universe, how Prabhupada, our Srila Prabhupada, took Jagannath all over the world and revealed his glories. That's another chapter in Rath Yatra. Another chapter how my very dear godbrother, ISKCON's first saint, as Prabhupada said, Jayananda Prabhu, took that and inaugurated, you could say that, Rath Yatra in the uh the Western world. And how he did so in such a wonderful way. And we'll share with you that story of Jayananda and Banana King Louie. Doesn't sound like you're quoting Jiva Goswami Ru Now you're quoting banana King Louie. Even banana banana King Louie became part of the rock theater pastime. And I won't say anymore. I'll tell you tomorrow. You brought the Maha Mahotsav New Vrindaban tomorrow 6:00 key.
