Hare Krishna today it's very heavy, continuously raining here in my village due to Cyclone, nivara cyclone, there is continuous rain, heavy rain, constant rain. This life is unsteady. Sometimes there is happiness sometimes there is distress this material world is full of distress, dukhalayam asasvatam, lord Krishna himself has said in Bhagavad Gita, dukhalayam asasvatam, whereas Krishna’s planet is full of happiness, unending happiness, eternality, full of knowledge.
The material world is Lord Krishna’s creation, this is his lower creation Krishna’s higher creation is in the spiritual world. Krishna’s lower energy is this material energy, we are called lord Krishna’s marginal energy. There are living entities who are eternally liberated there are living entities who are eternally conditioned. There are living entities who get liberated by sadhana or bhakti. Kripa Siddha, by the mercy of Lord Krishna many people become liberated by sadhana Austerity some people become liberated. So sadhana Siddha Krupa siddha. So, there are various ways of perfection, attaining perfection, is through austerities. Another is through mercy, just like you have an exam you will study well, write the exam, get the distinction, get high marks, and pass out. That's one way. Another way is somehow grace marks are being allotted to you, just pushing on you such that we vacate the place its like that, the grace marks mercy Like That Lord Krishna. Showing mercy in kali yuga lord Krishna is showing mercy in kali yuga he has taken the form of a devotee, a woman, that is the mood of a woman mood of Radharani he has become caitanya Mahaprabhu.
He has a male form, but the mood of a woman mood of a devotee mood of Radharani. So he is very much submissive, and loving he is distributing the love of God to all irrespective of qualification. Namo Mahavadanyaya Krishna prema pradayate Krishnaya, Krishna caitanya namne gouratvise namah.
This is a mantra by the gosvamis. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is considered to be the magnanimous incarnation of all incarnations. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the most munificent incarnation, the most charitable incarnation of all the incarnations of Lord Krishna. Hare Krishna that's why he is called Maha vadanyaya avatara. So he's Krishna himself. And he's giving Krishna prema to all of us. Only one who has the love of God can give us the love of God. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is giving us the love of God. He has taken the mood of Radharani Radha Krishna Nahe Anya Radha and Krishna, there is no difference.
Caitanya Mahaprabhu's most merciful incarnation appeared in Kaliyuga, 500 years back, he has inaugurated the sankirtana movement. That same sankirtana movement is spreading throughout the world. It's because of the efforts of the many Acharyas sad Goswami, and Jiva Goswami. so many Acharyas Bhaktivinoda Thakur, Bakthisiddanta Saraswathi Thakur, Bhakti Vedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, and many of his disciples, prominent disciples. So they are doing great services to Lord Krishna to Srila Prabhupada. So many disciples of Srila Prabhupad have established many temples, having Got training under Srila Prabhupad. They have established many centers, many ISKCON centers, and temples, that are flourishing nicely all over the world.
So we must take advantage of this harinam sankirtan movement. So we have to chant the Hare Krishna mantra, Read and distribute Srila prabhupada books. Take Krishna prasadam Thank you

So we are so much proud of our technological advancement. But in front of God, nothing can stand. Just see this thunderstorm and heavy rain Cyclone. All our mobile towers are stopped working or it's not working on my mobile. I'm not getting Tower now. There is heavy rain, continuous rain. There's a cyclone. There's a heavy wind. absolute darkness here. Power has gone. Power is not there here, absolute darkness. Continuously raining. Heavy wind absolute darkness everywhere. Because of no power, the mobile tower is not working. such a situation now which I'm staying now.
This is how this world is there. We are proud of our advancement We are proud of our technological advancement whatever may be advancement. We have placed our satellites ISRO, and NASA so many satellites we are placed but no use for us now. There is no power There is no mobile tower. The network is not coming there is no power here absolute darkness. no communication. So what will you do? we are too much dependent on this communication system. Mobile, internet, android phone whatever it may be, internet, but we are proud of all this thing advancement. But in front of nature, in front of demigods' power, God's power nothing can stand.
No power here. if you see the mobile tower I'm not getting the network. I'm not able to connect to the network. Sit is saying not registered on the network. I'm not getting the network here. Due to this rain, and wind here, there is no power, here there is absolute darkness only. Constantly raining, everywhere water, everywhere moisture heavy wind, cold, absolute darkness what a Hellish situation is this if you want to say this is a hellish situation. we are experiencing hell sometimes on this earth also.
So there is creation there is Maintenance, and destruction will always be happening. So destruction may be because of excessive rain or because of no rain. Maybe floods. Maybe volcanoes maybe cyclones maybe earthquakes. Whether it may be exercise activity ativrsti and anavristi excessive rain or no rain, excessive wind, excessive coldness, or excessive heat.
rainy season, summer, winter everywhere it is still happening. we are always troubled by threefold miseries of body, mind, miseries through Body, Mind, and miseries through other living entities, whether through natural calamities like cyclones. We are always struggling With these threefold miseries in this world, these threefold miseries, this is Cyclone is adhidevika. So very powerful. You cannot do anything with divine power, demigods power. You cannot do anything with this. Certain things we can try to rectify remedy, but with this divine power, gods power we cannot do anything. This is constantly happening.
Cyclone During Lord Krishna’s Time
"My dear friend, I think you remember our activities during the days when we were living as students. You may remember that once we went to collect fuel from the forest on the order of the guru's wife. While we were collecting the dried wood, we by chance entered the dense forest and became lost. There was an unexpected dust storm and then clouds and lightning in the sky and the explosive sound of thunder. Then sunset came, and we were lost in the dark jungle. After this, there was severe rainfall; the whole ground was overflooded with water, and we could not trace the way to return to our guru's āśrama. You may remember that the heavy rainfall--it was not rainfall but a sort of devastation. On account of the dust storm and the heavy rain, we began to feel greatly pained, and in whichever direction we turned we were bewildered. In that distressed condition, we took each other's hand and tried to find our way out. We passed the whole night in that way, and early in the morning when our absence became known to our Gurudeva, he sent his other disciples to search us out. He also came with them, and when they reached us in the jungle they found us to be very distressed.
"With great compassion, our Gurudeva said, 'My dear boys, it is very wonderful that you have suffered so much trouble for me. Everyone likes to take care of his body as the first consideration, but you are so good and faithful to your guru that without caring for bodily comforts you have taken so much trouble for me. I am also glad to see that bona fide students like you will undergo any kind of trouble for the satisfaction of the spiritual master. That is the way for a bona fide disciple to become free from his debt to the spiritual master. The disciple must dedicate his life to the service of the spiritual master. My dear best of the twice-born, I am greatly pleased by your action, and I bless you: May all your desires and ambitions be fulfilled. May the understanding of the Vedas which you have learned from me always continue to remain within your memory so that at every moment you can remember the teachings of the Vedas and quote their instructions without difficulty. Thus you will never be disappointed in this life or the next.'"
