  • Why Krsna is saying like this to Arjuna
    • If Arjuna is giving the example of leaving the battle, then he is making society a society of cowards.
  •  Example of George Harrison leaving drugs.
    • Many people followed him and benefitted in their life.
  • Example of HH Radhanath Swami
    • Inspiring Ajay Jadeja to be like a gentleman as many people follow him.
  • Vacho vegam, manasah krodhah vegam.
    • That is the highest standard of a leader which Rupa Goswami has put up.
    • The highest standard is to become a Goswami
  • In our own situations, we are leaders at various levels.
    • whatever circle of influence we have, in that we should behave very responsibly.
    • That is called acharan, one is behaving responsibly with his acharan is called acharya.
  • So who is a leader devotee
    • Who chants the best rounds
    • Who is practicing shloka trinadapi sunichena, tarorapi sahishnuna
    • Who wakes up in bramha muhurta and chants his rounds.
    • Who takes responsibility on behalf of guru
    • Who is showing an ideal example.
  • Examples
    • Haridas thakur was a leader in chanting the holi names.
    • Ramananda Ray was a leader in sense control 
    • Raghunath das Goswami was a leader in Vairagya.
    • Hanuman is perfect leader in Ram lila on how a servent should be.
    • Mahajan show perfect behaviour in various complicated circumstances. E.g. Bhishma.
  • Bhishma.
    • Extremely complex life.
    • He was a pure devotee.
    • Still, every time he got into some complicated situation. He was not responsible or that complication. but still, it was expected from him to do something. which he could not do.
    • in all these confusing and complicated circumstances. every day he would do his sadhana perfectly. 
  • Pundarik Vidyanidhi's example.
  • Lord Chaitanya's famous statement.
    • The life of a devotee is like a white chadar. Any black spot in it looks extremely prominent.
    • Wherever a devotee stays, everyone knows that he is a Hare Krsna Devotee.
    • By anyone is his misbehavior
      • The whole Hare Krsna movement.
      • The Acharya's
      • The paramapara.
      • Krsna gets blamed.
    • That is the unique responsibility of a devotee.
  • Janma Sarthak kori, kara para upkar.
    • Practice and make your life perfect.
    • And then preach.
  • Order of Lord Chaitanya
    • That we should all become a very humble, small leader.
    • with our perfect behavior and consciousness.  
    • Best is that we have a perfect personal and social behavior.
    • But at least our dealings with others should be such that people should not blame Krsna consciousness, Prabhupad, other devotees, by our behavior.
  • Question: Sometimes people with wrong perceptions or intentions may criticize us even when we are doing our best.
    • We are not good because we want them to say that we are good. We are Good because 
      • Lord Chaitanya wants us to be like that.
      • Prabhupad wants us to be like that.
      • Other devotees want us to be like that.
    •  Our behavior is responsible behaviour towards our Guru Parampara or Vaishnavas.
      • in their eyes, we should try our best be to the optimum level of leadership and behavior.
    • And there will be many envious people. 
      •  Envy for Krsna gets translated in envy for other living entities.
    • Yudhishthir Maharaj
    • Envious people may target.
      • But we should not leave our good behavior in trying to pacify them. or trying to prove something else.
      • because no matter what you do to please them. they may still not except KC

Bg. 5.18 विद्याविनयसम्पन्ने ब्राह्मणे गवि हस्तिनि । श‍ुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिता: समदर्शिन: ॥ १८ ॥ vidyā-vinaya-sampanne brāhmaṇe gavi hastini śuni caiva śva-pāke ca paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/5/18/ जब तक हम विनम्र नहीं होते, हम सबको एक समान नहीं देख सकते। हर शरीर में आत्मा और परमात्मा दोनो स्थित है। हर शरीर परमात्मा का एक मंदिर है। इसका मतलब ये नहीं है की हम शेर को जाकर गले लगाएँगे। We should not judge people, but we should discriminate. कृपा   उनके प्रति करनी चाहिए, जो ज्ञान को ढूँढ रहे है. हर व्यक्ति को कृपा देनी। भगवान की कृपा को transfer करना। मैत्री   भक्तो से करनी चाहिए। विशेषकर उन भक्तो से जो किसी की निंदा नहीं करते। ऐसे संग से ही हमारा उद्धार होगा। उपेक्षा   जो भगवान और भक्तो के प्रति द्वेष रखते है, उनकी उपेक्षा करनी चाहिए। असत्संग त्याग ऐ वैष्णव आचार। जो असत लोग है, हमें भगवान के सम्बंध में कोई रुचि नहीं है, उनका संग त्याग देना चाहिए।  अगर social purpose से हमको लगता हो, की हमको इनकी बहुत ज़रूरत है, तो जितना ज़रूरत है, उतना काम ...

जो लोग हमारे ऊपर निर्भर है, उनके प्रति हमारी क्या ज़िम्मेदारी है। लीडर का काम है। कि वो अपने dependents को भगवद गीता का ज्ञान परम्परा के अनुसार प्रदान करे।और मनुष्य जीवन का लक्ष्य, जो भगवान को फिर से प्राप्त करना है।इस लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करे, या प्राप्त करने के मार्ग पर क्रमण करे। कोई भी लीडर स्वतंत्र नहीं है। यहाँ तक की सूर्य और चंद्र भी। उनकी भी ज़िम्मेदारी होती है। leadership मतलब ज़िम्मेदारी। उन्हें कैसे सिखाना है। शिक्षा (Education) संस्कृति (Culture) और भक्ति (Devotion) के द्वारा  भगवान इस ज्ञान को किसको दे रहे है। विवशवान को इसलिए दिया, क्योंकि वे क्षत्रिय है। भगवान ज़्यादा करके क्षत्रिय कुल में आते है। या क्षत्रियो को ये ज्ञान देते है। राम, कृष्ण  यमराज, भीष्म, प्रह्लाद, ध्रुव, युधिष्ठिर  प्रतापरुद्र महाराज  वर्णाश्रम धर्म  सत्य यूग में हंस class ही रहता था। त्रेता यूग में वर्णाश्रम धर्म भगवान देते है। ब्राह्मण की आवश्यकता  वो धर्म को पढ़ते और समझते है, और बताते है की धर्म क्या है। क्षत्रिय की आवश्यकता  धर्म की रक्षा करने के लिए। धर्म के आधार पर...
