Mind control leads to Sense Control

Verse 1.1.16: Two points today, from our reading in Srimad Bhagavatam. If we apply this, we will be happy always.

How many of us have our senses controlled. If mind is controlled, then the senses are also controlled. Our lives become miserable, because of the uncontrolled senses.

SB 5Canto: Without sense control, there is no proper peace. If we want to accelerate our process of sense control, become the servant of servant of the Supreme Lord. Soon you will realize that your senses are controlled. Thats why Caitanya Mahaprabhu has included the statement...amanina manadena.

Tomorrow is Sri Krishna Janmashtami. Prabhuji requests that all of us genuinely fast, without water too. 3 important festivals for us: Krishna Janmashtami, Gaura Poornima, Pandalava nirjala ekadashi.
Krishna Janmashtami is the most important festival for Gaudiya Vaishnava's.

If at home, have a midnight arati. Make nice foodstuffs for Krishna. Call your friends home.

Krishna Consciousness means doing what is pleasing to Krishna.

Prabhuji is sharing a story:
How Grhastha's in Chowpatty have a taste for the Holy Name and on their unknown services to the Vaishnava's.
