As soon as it gets somebody on his back he become jubilant immediately. This is the nature.
Jivera svarupa haya-nitya Krishna dasa (Cc. Madhya 20.108-109). Hare Krishna. Jaya.
Jaya. (break) ...vantam eva caran nirantara prasanta-nihsesha-mano-rathantaram,
kadaham aikantika-nitya-kinkara praharsayisyami sanatha jivitam. This is Vaishnava
aspiration. Bhavantam eva caran nirantaram: “Twenty-four hours simply carrying Your
orders.” And you can do it. But it is not possible. The mind is checking. Prasanta-nihsesha
mano-rathantaram. Unless one’s mind is fi xed up, he cannot become servant of God.
Kadaham aikantika-nitya-kinkara. In this way, when I shall be absolutely Your servant
and live very joyfully, that ‘I have got my master? This is Yamunacarya’s verse.
bhavantam eva caran nirantaram/ prasanta-nihsesha-mano-rathantaram
kadaham aikantika-nitya-kinkarah/ praharsayisyami sanatha-jivitam
By serving You constantly, one is freed from all material desires and is completely
pacifi ed. When shall I engage as Your permanent eternal servant and always feel joyful to
have such a fi tting master?
Dr. Patel: Sanatha-jiva.
Prabhupada: They are all anatha-jivita. Yes. Everyone is independence (independent)
and anatha (without a master). There is natha (master), but he’ll not recognize. Anatha-
jivita. Bhavantam eva caran nirantaram prasanta... So we are educating people how to
become sanatha-jivitam. Live on your master... Everyone is living at the cost of master, but
foolishly. Ahankara-vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate (BG 3.27). They are living at
the cost of the master, but they will not accept. This is the disease. (break) ...natural life,
sanatha-jivitam. From the birth the child is sanatha, parents. Where is the possibility of
living independently? That is not possible.
Dr. Patel: Yamunacarya was sishya or guru of Ramanujacarya?
Prabhupada: Ramanujacarya.
Dr. Patel: Ramanujacarya was guru or sishya?
Prabhupada: Yes, guru. (Yamunacharya is not guru of Ramanujacharya)
Dr. Patel: Guru. I think Vishnu Svami was his sishya.
Prabhupada: No. Vishnu Svami-sampradaya, different. That is Rudra-sampradaya.
And Ramanujacarya is Sri-sampradaya. The Vallabhacaryas, they belong to Vishnu
Svami. We belong to Madhva-sampradaya. Four acaryas.
Yasomatinandana: Who was the originator of Sri-sampradaya?
Prabhupada: Hm? Lakshmiji. Pada-sevanam. Sravanam kirtanam vishnu smarana
pada-sevanam. Lakshmiji is always engaged in massaging the feet of Lord Vishnu.
Yasomatinandana: Ramanujacarya is the biggest in line?
