So rsabhavani-dhrug rajanya. Avani-dhruk. Dhruk means rebellious. Actually a, a king should be representative of God. Representative of... The king's honor, in every country, kings, king is honored very gorgeously. Why? He's also human being, and the citizens are also human beings. Why the king is so honored? Just like spiritual master. A spiritual master is honored. Not only honoredin the sastra it is said, navamanyeta karhicit. Acaryam mam vijaniyan navamanyeta karhicit [SB 11.17.27]. The spiritual master should not be, I mean to say, taken as ordinary human being. And the king also, practically we see, that we do not treat a king or a president like ordinary human being. What is the reason? What is the reason? The reason is that the king... King's another name is naradeva, "God in human form." Naradeva. So king is honored because a king is supposed to be representative of God. Therefore he's honored. His business is... Krsna, Krsna is maintainer, eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman. Nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam (Katha Upanisad 2.2.13). God means the supreme living being. Nityo nityanam. We are also living beings. We all living beings in different forms, 8,400,000 forms. We are all living beings. And Krsna is also a living being. Krsna is not impersonal. God is not impersonal. Just like we are persons, you are person, every one of us sitting here, we have got person, personality. We have got individuality. So the impersonalists, they cannot adjust that we are individual persons and how the Supreme, the original cause of everything, He also can be person. Because we have our experience that my knowledge or any individual persons knowledge, opulence, they're limited. But how the unlimited can be person? Because we are limited and God is unlimited, therefore these Mayavadis, with poor fund of knowledge, that, because we being persons, we are limited, therefore God, being unlimited, He must be imperson. He must be. They compare the material things. Just like the sky. We think it unlimited. The sky is impersonal. So their philosophy is because God is unlimited, therefore he must be impersonal.

But that is not the Vedic instruction. Vedic instruction is He is also a person. God is also a person. Just like we see Krsna. Krsna is person; we are also person. The difference is this person is worshiped, and we are worshiper. That is the difference. Otherwise, He's person, we are person. But the one person... Just like king. King is also person, and the citizens are also person. The president is also person, and the citizens are also person. But what is the difference? The difference is the president or the king or the spiritual master, they, such persons are, exalted persons, are worshiped. That is the difference. Now why one person should be worshiped by so many persons? Because the one person provides so many persons. Eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman. God is also person. He's one; we are many. God is worshiped because He provides everyone. He gives food, maintenance..., all the necessities of life, God is supplying. Therefore, He should be worshiped. We require water; God has given the oceans of water, stocked. Utilize it. How nicely arranged: clear water, mixed with salt so that it will not decompose. Such arrangement. And when you require drinking water, the same water is distilled. By God's arrangement, the sunshine evaporates the water, took it on the high sky, and then distributes clear, distilled water.

So how God is providing everyone with everything. We require light, we require heat. Just like in ordinary life also, in the state there is heating department, lighting department, plumbing department. Why? These are the amenities we require. So why don't you see that these arrangements are already there. Unless... These arrangements are subordinate. The first arrangement is God's arrangement. God supply you water by rain. You catch up and then you supply in the water-works. Without rain you cannot have any water. Therefore original supplier is God. Eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman. He's person. He has got brain. He knows that all of them will require everything, such and such thingheat, light, water. Without water you cannot produce foodstuff. Even the animal eaters, without God's arrangement, how he can eat animal? The animal also must be provided with food, with grass; then you can take it to the slaughterhouse by your expert intelligence. God is supplying food. Still you are creating a rebellious condition. That's an avani-dhruk. These rascals who are going against the law of God, they're rebellious. So they're rebellious. The king's duty is to see as representative of Krsna, as representative of God. Otherwise he, what right he has got to take so much honor from the citizens? He has no right. And because the kings, formerly every country there were kings, monarchy, they violated, they rebelled against God, they became themselves God, that "I have got so much property, kingdom. I am God. I am the Lord of all I survey." So when they usurped the power of God, the all monarchies in the world is now finished. Because they did not act as representative of God. They thought their personal property, the kingdom. No. That is not actually fact. Fact is everything belongs to God. Isavasyam idam sarvam [Iso mantra 1].

So the representative must be very obedient. Then his position will go on. And... Just like so-called spiritual masters. They proclaim, "I am God." So they have no position. They have no position. Because they are rebellious. A spiritual master is supposed to spread God consciousness, Krsna consciousness, make everyone Krsna conscious, as the most confidential servant of Godnot as God. Just like Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura says: saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastrair uktah **. A spiritual master is honored as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Honored. Saksad-dharitvena. Haritva means "as God." Saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastrair uktah: ** "It is stated in all sastras." It is not bogus that spiritual master is as good as God. Saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastrair uktas tatha bhavyata eva sadbhih **. Uktas tatha... Because it is stated in the sastras, tatha, therefore, those who are advanced, uktas tatha bhavyata eva sadbhih. Sadbhih means those who are actually advanced in spiritual life, they obey the spiritual injunction. Then is spiritual master as good as God? The next line is, kintu prabhor yah priya eva tasya. A spiritual master is not God. He is... The distinction is sevya-bhagavan, sevaka-bhagavan. Sevya means one who is worshiped, and sevaka means one who is worshiper. The spiritual master is God and Krsna is God, but Krsna is worshipable God and spiritual master is worshiper God. He's God, but he's worshiper God. That is explained. The Mayavadis, they cannot understand it, that "Because a spiritual master has to be accepted as God, therefore I have become a spiritual masterI have become God." This is rebellious. This is rebellious. God gives you a position, and if you want to usurp His power unnecessarily, which you cannot, then you are fool, rascal, you are rebellious. He requires punishment. Punishment. Therefore it is said that avani-dhrug rajanya-vamsa-dahana. "Therefore You descend to kill all these rascals who claim Your position, rebellious." That is natural. Just like all subordinate kings. There is one emperor, and there are subordinate kings. Sometimes the subordinate kings claim, "Now we shall not give tax." In India it so happened. Everywhere it so happens. The subordinate kings, zamindars, landholders, sometimes they think, "Oh, why shall I give tax?" Then it is rebellious.

So Krsna's one business is to kill these rebellious persons who deny the supremacy of God, who declare himself as God. Therefore it is said: avani-dhruk. In the, on the surface of the globe, those who are rebellious, rajanya-vamsa-dahana, so He kills. He burns them. Apavarga-virya, anapa, anapavarga-virya. Anapa. Apavarga means... It is said anapavarga?

So apav..., this word is meant for this purpose, that without working, you cannot live even. You cannot maintain your body. Therefore it is called parisrama, pa. Pa means parisrama, to labor hard. You cannot get your subs... Even if you are a lion, a king, a very powerful, still you have to find out your bread. In the jungle, not that... It is said,

So pavarga, and just the opposite is apavarga. Just the opposite. There is no labor, there is no foam, there is no frustration, there is no fear, and there is no death. That is spiritual world.

So you have to accept. Krsna says, very frankly says, "Surrender unto Me, I give you anapavarga." Aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami [Bg. 18.66], "I shall give you protection." So He is the power for this purpose, and govindam... Govinda means He is the giver of pleasure to the cows and to the senses. Govinda. Govinda, go-dvija-sura-arti-hara-avatara. Avatara means incarnation. Govinda, govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami **, He's the adi-purusa. Aham adir hi devanam [Bg 10.2], He is the original person, even of the demigods, Brahma, Visnu. People may not misunderstand that Brahma, Visnu, Mahesvara, they are original. No. Krsna says, "They are not original, Brahma, Visnu, Mahesvara." Aham adir hi devanam, "I am the original person, above the..., of these demigods also." Therefore, we repeatedly say that we worship that adi-purusam, the original person, govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami **. Not secondary; the first, the first, original person.

So Govinda..., so what is the business of Govinda? Now, go-dvija-surarti-haravatara [SB 1.8.43]. Surarti, go. This demonic world is the greatest enemy of cows. Just see how they are maintaining hundreds and thousands of slaughterhouse. Hundreds and thousands of slaughterhouse. Innocent animals, giving you milk, the most important foodstuff. Even after death, it is giving you its skin for your shoes, and you are so rascal that you are killing. And you want to be happy in this world. You see? How sinful they are! They have no consideration that this animal... Why cow protection is so much advocated? Because it is very, very important. Therefore... There is no such injunction that "You don't eat the flesh of the tiger." You can eat. Because those who are meat eaters, those who are meat eaters, they have been recommended to eat the flesh of goats or other lower animalssometimes dogs also, they eat, or the hogsyou can eat. But never the flesh of cows. So, innocent animal, the most important animal, giving service even after death... While living, giving service, so important service, giving you milk, even after death she is giving service by supplying the skin, the hoof, the horn. You utilize in so many ways. But still, the present human society is so ungrateful and rascal that they are killing cows. So Krsna comes to punish them, these rascals. Therefore it is said that go-dvija-surarti-hara. Krsna comes to... Therefore we worship Krsna, namo brahmanya-devaya go-brahmana-hitaya ca. Brahmana.

So to make a perfect human society, there must be protection of the go-dvija. Dvija means brahmana. Brahmana means one who knows Brahman, God. These two classes must be given first protection. Therefore Krsna is worshiped with this word,

So in this age, Kali-yuga, the people are so sinful, so suffering also, therefore Krsna has incarnated in the form of His name: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

That's all. (end)
