Hari Hari Biphale – November 13, 1968, Los Angeles

.
Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura, who has sung
this hari hari biphale janama goṅāinu,
He's lamenting, appealing to Hari, the Lord
"My dear Lord, I have uselessly spoiled my life."
Biphale means uselessly
janama means birth
goṅāinu means "I have passed."
.
He's representating a common man
They do not know that they are spoiling their life.
.
They are thinking that
"I've got very nice apartment, very nice car,
Gṛha-kṣetra-sutāpta-vittair.
The attraction, material attraction,
is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
Pumsaḥ striya mithuni-bhavam etam [SB 5.5.8].
A man is hankering after another woman
woman is hankering after another man.
.
Puṁsaḥ striyā mithunī-bhāvam etam [SB 5.5.8].
Mithunī-bhāvam means sex.
Tayor mitho hrdaya-granthim
Hṛdaya-granthim. Granthi means very hard knot:
"I cannot leave you. You are my life and soul,"
And then again divorce. You see?
.
But the beginning is there.
attraction is this sex life
.
legalized prostitution.
But for keep up social life,
one has to accept some regulative principle.
.
Therefore sex life like animals
and sex life in marriage,
there is difference;
.
The next demand, gṛha-kṣetra, land.
human civilization is based on land and cow,
.
Formerly, a person was considered to be rich man
by possession of the number of cows
not these papers, this false money.
thousand dollars... They are papers actually
,
if you possess some land and cows
the government may fail or not fail,
your value is there.
.
Gṛha-kṣetra-suta. Suta means children.
next demand is children, suta
Because without children no home life is pleasant.
.
Putra-hīnaṁ gṛhaṁ śūnyam [Cāṇakya Paṇḍita].
Life without knowledge is empty,
all directions are void for those without friends
Household life without a son is void
and for the poor the whole world is void.
.
grha-kṣetra-suta āpta. Āpta means relatives or society.
Sutāpta-vittaiḥ: and all these paraphernalia
are to be maintained on money
money is required, vittaiḥ.
.
Janasya moho 'yam. This is called illusion. Illusion.
.
Illusion means that this nice paraphernalia
home, life, apartment, wife, children, society,
everything is all right,
but as soon as this body is finished, everything is finished
next platform may be a human being
or a cat or a dog or a demigod or anything.
.
next life, you forget all these things.
Everything is finished—flash, just like a bubble
.
In this way the life is going on.
But this human form of life is an opportunity
to understand how I am transmigrating
why I am so much in distress, miseries.
.
Gṛha-kṣetra-sutāpta-vittaiḥ
home, society, money, position
everything is all right provided you can utilize it
for elevating yourself from these material clutches
.
Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura, representing ourself,
he is lamenting,
"My dear Lord, I have spoiled my life.
manuṣya-janama pāiyā, rādhā-kṛṣṇa nā bhajiyā.
This human form of life
was meant for understanding what is Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa
and worship Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa
.
"Instead of making contact with Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa
I am simply spoiling my life in sense gratification.
Why? What is your lamentation?
golokera prema-dhana, hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana.
This chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa
is imported from the transcendental abode, golokera.
.
Golokera prema-dhana.
Just like the sunshine, wherefrom it has come?
From the sun planet
Similarly this vibration,
is coming from Kṛṣṇa, Goloka.
rati nā janmilo kene tāy. "I've no attachment for this."
.
Why should one be attached to this?
viṣaya-viṣānale, dibā-niśi hiyā jvale
Hiyā means heart. Our heart is always burning
with this material sense gratificatory process
people are trying sense gratification
naked picture, naked dance.
you cannot be satisfied
that is not your platform of enjoyment
.
Unless you come to the spiritual platform,
.
viṣaya-viṣānale
Viṣaya means these material demands
eating, sleeping, mating, these are called viṣaya.
They are just like poison, fire
.
dibā-niśi hiyā jvale.
Jvale means it is burning, my heart is burning
.
Tari bare nā koinu upāy.
"But I did not search out the relief,
hari-saṅkīrtana, this chanting
Therefore I have spoiled my life."
.
brajendra-nandana yei, śacī-suta hoilo sei.
Vrajendra-nandana, Kṛṣṇa, has appeared as Śacīnandana.
.
He has no father. He is father of everyone.
But He accepts some devotee
A devotee wants Kṛṣṇa as his son
The child will draw always service.
"Father, give me this. Father, give me this."
.
Vaiṣṇava conception, to accept the Supreme as child
Kṛṣṇa, has now appeared as Lord Caitanya,
Balarāma has become Nitāi
:
what is Their business?
pāpī-tāpī jata chilo
"They are claiming all kinds of sinful conditioned souls.
hari-nāme uddhārilo
Simply by distributing this chanting,
however fallen he may be
chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and become delivered
.
What is the evidence
Ta 'ra sākṣī jagāi mādhāi.
they were two brothers, debauch number one.
.
They were drunkard, they were woman hunter, meat-eater
Similarly, at the present age, this human society,
although they are coming from the Āryan family,
there's woman and intoxication, meat-eating,
,
So this chanting process, Hare Kṛṣṇa,
will actually deliver all these fallen souls
become a pure Kṛṣṇa conscious person
come to the senses that
"I am eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa,"
janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate
jñānavān means wise man
He surrenders unto Me,
"Because Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, is everything."
Sa mahātmā su-durlabhaḥ:
"That kind of great soul is very rare."
.
hā hā prabhu nanda-suta, vṛṣabhānu-sutā-juta
sutā, the son, son of Nanda, and Rādhārāṇī
Vaiṣṇava, they do not worship Kṛṣṇa alone
They do not worship Rāma without Sītā.
Nārāyaṇa without Lakṣmī
we don't believe that God is without any energy.
.
"Hare Kṛṣṇa." First the energy is addressed
Hā hā prabhu nanda-sutā.
"Don't neglect me because I am so sinful
This is the purport of this song.
.
