Lessons from Samudra Manthan Lila

Progressing devotee – demigod mentality and demoniac mentality

No one is superior to Lord – Demigods are also subordinate – Brahma’s prayers

Churning – similar to KC process

One who is submissive and obedient can only receive good instructions from the superiors

Lord is the Supreme Father of all and one should simply abide by His instructions and not rebel
against Him

Superior Instructions brings good fortune – SB 8.6.18

Lord’s Instructions –

Now demon’s influence has increased – it has brought all inauspiciousness in the world – harmful for
them and for everyone
IIly, there are divine and demoniac tendency in our heart also. If demoniac tendency will increase –
harmful for ourself.

For fulfilling one’s interest – truce with the enemies – sarpa-mushik nyaya – vakta padne par gadhe ko
bhi baap banana padta hai – SB 8..6.19-20

With patience and peace everything can be done, but if one is agitated by anger, the goal is not
achieved – SB8.6.24

Don’t Fear – kalkuta poison – anarthas will come out

Don’t be greedy for gems and other allurements – remain focused on the main purpose of getting nectar.

Unity is more important to achieve any higher purpose.

Only in the association – unitedly –

SP went to west alone – but there Americans came forward – SP engaged all of them in Krishna’s
service.

Our goal is also very high – to go to BTG - e.g. Going to USA – need so much help.

We are fighting with Maya – is not any dubala patala

Maya is Krishna’s energy – she has many forces – fully equipped with army

No one can remain atheist on the battlefield – I alone not capable of fighting with Maya.

Inside many misunderstanding in the army – but on the battlefield – united

e.g. Lion – group of cows – divide and defeat – telling cows in the ear – separated
Maya also wants to divide the association

SP – If you really Love me – co-operate with each other

Because demons and demigod – agreed to co-operate – Krishna will provide so much of help
Lord’s help is required in our lives at every step

Giving strength to demons and demigods

When both got exhausted - Krishna himself started churning

Krishna helps those in all ways, who agrees to co-operated and stay united.

Demoniac tendency – always do the opposite of the Lord’s instruction – taking the mouth side of
vasuki

Lord Siva drinks poison for Lord Hari’s pleasure :

GURU AND VAISNAVAS – ONLY CAN REMOVE THE ANARTHAS
