His mother was attacked by the demigods, headed by Indra, and they were dragging her to their palace. Narada Muni met, said "What are you doing this? You are harassing one woman?" "No sir, we are not harassing, only we are taking her in our place to wait for the deliverance of the child. Then we shall kill him. Because he is born of atheist father, so he is another demon." Narada Muni said, "No, no, no, you are mistaken. He is not demon, he is maha-bhagavata." So in the beginning he was maha-bhagavata, since he was in within the womb of his mother. And later on he is maha-bhagavata. This is called nitya-siddha, eternally maha-bhagavata. Eternally maha-bhagavata never forgets Krsna, in any circumstance. That is the sign of maha-bhagavata, nitya-siddha. Prahlada Maharaja was put into so many trials when he was only a child, still he never forgot Krsna. That is the sign of maha-bhagavata. In any circumstances.

It does not mean that because one is maha-bhagavata he should not be put into trials. He can be put into trials, because the material world is like that. The western country, they, Lord Jesus Christ, he was put into trials but he never forgot Krsna. This is sign of maha-bhagavata, nitya-siddha.

Just like Haridasa Thakura. He was born in Muhammadan family, but maha-bhagavata. There are so many examples. Not that because he was born in a Muhammadan family therefore he cannot. This Marchoism (?) is like that, but actually it is not. Ahaituky apratihata. Bhakti is so purifying that any condition, any circumstances, one can become devotee.

So Prahlada Maharaja he is nitya-siddha. Nitya-siddha means there are living entities, every living entity is part and parcel of Krsna, so one who does not fall down, he is called nitya-siddha. One who does not fall down. Just like in this material world there are millions and millions of living entities, but they have fallen down. But there are multi-millions and millions of living entities in the vaikuntha-loka, they never fall down. They are called nitya-siddha. They never come here. So we have no information. This is only one-fourth manifestation of God's creation and the three-fourths creation of God is there. Not creation, it is everlasting. Just like in the prison house, if you go to the prison house, it does not mean that the whole state is there. It is only insignificant part of the state, and only the criminals they are put together.

So this material world, material world means so many planets you see, so many stars and planets, the sun planet, moon planet and loka, sarva-loka-mahesvaram [Bg. 5.29]. This is one universe, and there are millions of universes. Altogether that is material world, and that is one part of creation. Ekamsena sthito jagat [Bg. 10.42]. The jagat means this material world. So the whole material, ananta koti. Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anda-koti-kotisv asesa vasudhadi vibhuti-bhinnam [Bs. 5.40]. This ananta-koti-brahmanda is only one-fourth manifestation of God's creation, and just imagine what is the other three-fourth, that is spiritual world. So the nitya-siddha maha-bhagavata, they come from the spiritual world on the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and they, by example, they preach Krsna Consciousness. This is maha-bhagavata. By suffering, by example, everything, they look like ordinary men, but maha-bhagavata. How it is tested? Never forgets Krsna. This is maha-bhagavata nitya-siddha. And sadhana-siddha means those who are put into this material world, by the association of maha-bhagavata, if he tries, follows, then he can also become maha-bhagavata or nitya-siddha, because originally everyone is nitya-siddha.

In the madhyama-adhikari he can see four things. What is that? Four things means, first of all the Supreme Lord, isvara, the controller, he can see. He can see means he understands, he appreciates, he can conceive, "Yes, the Supreme Lord is there". There is no more theoretical. So isvara, and tad-adhinesu, and persons who have become devotee, he can understand, "Here is a devotee." Isvare tad-adhinesu balisesu. Balisa means he knows imperson. They do not know what is God, what is to be done, they are called balisa. Just like children, arbhakah, balisa. And then dvisat, envious. Just like you have experienced so many rascals, as soon as they hear of God, immediately they become agitated. They are called dvisat, envious, demons. So four things, God, His devotees, and the innocent person, and the demonic atheist. He can see, madhyama-adhikari. And then he behaves with these four classes of men differently. What is that? Prema, for Krsna, the Supreme Lord, how to increase love. That is first business, prema. And those who are devotees, to make friendship with them maitri. Those who are higher than him, he should offer very respectful obeisances, those who are equal, treat them with nicely, and those who are lower then instruct them, balisesu. Those who are innocent, how to raise him in Krsna consciousness. This is preaching. And dvisatsu, upeksah, those who are atheist, don't associate with them. Don't associate with them. That is the madhyama-adhikari.

And uttama-adhikari, that is very rarely attained, this stage. Uttama-adhikari, has only equal, one vision, samah sarvesu bhutesu mad-bhaktim labhate. The uttama-adhikari, he does not think that "He is envious," or "he is this," or "he is that," he sees that everyone is engaged in Krsna consciousness. That is not to be imitated. That Prahlada Maharaja is like that. He did not know who is his enemy and who is friend. No, he did not know. He is uttama-adhikari, maha-bhagavata. So this maha-bhagavata, this word is very important in this verse, maha-bhagavato 'rbhakah. Immediately, as soon as Brahma requested, "My dear boy, please pacify." No hesitation, immediately he fell down. Upetya bhuvi kayena. He is always at the lotus feet of Krsna, and, as a child, immediately as Brahma said, immediately he did. Kayena upetya nanama, as it is, he was not to be lesson, that you meant like this, fall down this, no, he knows, everything. Life after life he is doing that. Gaurangera sangi-gane, nitya-siddha kori mane. Whenever there is Krsna's incarnation, just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu, as soon as He advented Himself, immediately there was Advaitacarya, Nityananda, and other, many, many devotees. They are guarangera sangi, they are not sadhana-bhakti, they are eternally associate. So similarly Prahlada Maharaja is also eternally associate. Whenever there is need, by the order of Krsna, he is present there to execute the order of Krsna. This is our position. Eternal servant.

We should not become servant to make some material profit. He is not, he is not suddha-bhakta. Sa vai vanik, Prahlada Maharaja. So anyone who serves Krsna for some material benefit, sa vai vanik. Material benefit means, that sastra, Krsna says that, patram puspam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati [Bg. 9.26]. So many person comes in the temple for some material benefit. They surrender to the saintly person for some material benefit. "Give me asibha (?) benediction." "What benediction?" "I have got ten thousand rupees, make it one lakh by your benediction." So these kind of devotees have been described by Prahlada Maharaja as vanik, vaniya, mercantile. Therefore merchant people, they want to invest two rupees and make, want to make profit ten rupees. So offering Krsna little flower and fruit, they want to get some horses and elephant, you see, or very big estate. This is not devotion.

Anyabhilasita-sunyam [Brs. 1.1.11]. Our position is eternal servant of Krsna, and Krsna's position is eternal master. Bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva-loka-mahesvaram [Bg. 5.29]. He is the enjoyer. He is the proprietor. That is eternally, He is master, and we are eternally servant. If you keep this position, that is Krsna consciousness. So maha-bhagavata, they know always, they never forget this position, and those who are fallen souls, conditioned souls, they do not know it, so they have to be raised to that stage. That stage, how? So he is also nitya-siddha. Nitya-siddha krsna-bhakti. Krsna-bhakti, as soon as one becomes Krsna conscious fully, he becomes nitya-siddha again. So either you come by sadhana-bhakti or naturally, the, when you come to the ultimate stage, everyone is nitya-siddha. So nitya-siddha, those who come from Vaikuntha, they are never fallen, never forgets Krsna, that is nitya-siddha, and by the teachings of nitya-siddha maha-bhagavata, if one follows and then becomes by sadhana-siddha, by regulative principle, they also become nitya-siddha later on. And when one becomes nitya-siddha again, there is no difference between this living entity and that living entity, samah sarvesu bhutesu. So

Thank you very very much. (end)
