Krishna Leela - Part 51 - The Story of the Shyamantaka JewelTRANSCRIPT
nārāyanam namaskrtyanaram caiva narottamamdevīm sarasvatīm vyāsamtato jayam udīrayet
Before reciting this Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, which is the very means of conquest, one should offer respectful obeisances unto the Personality of Godhead, Nārāyana, unto Nara-nārāyana Rsi, the supermost human being, unto mother Sarasvatī, the goddess of learning, and unto Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the author.
nasta-prāyesv abhadresunityam bhāgavata-sevayābhagavaty uttama-ślokebhaktir bhavati naisthikī
By regular attendance in classes on the Bhāgavatam and by rendering of service to the pure devotee, all that is troublesome to the heart is almost completely destroyed, and loving service unto the Personality of Godhead, who is praised with transcendental songs, is established as an irrevocable fact.

Krishna’s expansion Vishnu – Four handed form
Supreme GOD – Descended in VrndAvan
Damodara, Govinda
Proud to be a DvArakA Citizen
Sun GOD is coming – not Wonderful
PP: Uttara Khanda 25.7: SankaraLord Siva’s Incarnation
Mayavadi Philosophy – God has no form. It is an Energy or Light.
Material Form – Start & End
Krishna’s form has no start and end
To convince the less intelligent – God has no form
Krishna - It is SatrAjit. Wants to Show his opulence
Started worshiping the Gold
Materialist – Definition ?
Krishna asked – SatrAjit refusedBest thing should be with the king
Syamantaka produces -170 pounds/day gold
No scarcity, No disease, no excessive cold or hot
Prasena went to forest with the jewel
Big Lion Killed him and took away the jewel
Gorilla King JAmbavAn killed lion and took the jewel
Krishna wants to find the jewel
Great Devotee – Jewel son’s play toy
SatrAjit – Krishna Killed prasena and took the jewel
Krishna saw Prasena & Horse dead
He saw Lion also dead by hand
Found It is JAmbavAn, Rksa
Nurse cried very loudly
Krishna & citizens found great tunnel
Only Krishna entered, saw child playing with jewel
JAmbavAn did not recognize his Master because of anger
BG: 2.63
krodhād bhavati sammohahsammohāt smrti-vibhramahsmrti-bhramśād buddhi-nāśobuddhi-nāśāt pranaśyati
From anger, complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost one falls down again into the material pool.
Krishna – JAmbavAn fought for 28 days, both day & night
JAmbavAn became very tired
Who can fight with me so hard ?
Bodily strength cannot help to understand Krishna
Krishna wants to exercise. With sportive spirit, mock fight
Who can fight other than devotees?
Once Krishna is pleased, JAmbavAn understood, it is Supreme Lord
Vedanta Sutra - JanmAdy Asya yatah
Krishna – Creator of the scientist
“Kala”, time, creation, maintenance and annihilation
Lord RAM- Bridge construction across the ocean. Ravana’s death.
Krishna – None otherthan Lord Ram
Surrender – No once else can defeat me like this
Krishna was pleased
Krishna stroked his hand over Jambavan’s body
Asked SyAmantakA Jewel
JAmbavAn delivered Jewel as well as his daughter JAmbavati
Citizens returned on 12th day
Residents prayed to Goddess Chandrabaga
Krishna enters mathura with his new wife JAmbavati
All were happy and celebrated
UgrasenA arranged a meeting
All and Satrajit also came. Ugrasena explained all
Satrajit was ashamed & concious of his offence
Wanted to please Lord Krishna
Decided to handover the jewel and his daughter SatyabAma
Arranged marriage with SatyabAmA
Handed over the jewel as a gift
Krishna was pleased
Krishna – no need SyAmantakA
Let it remain in the temple
No scarcity, No disease, no excessive cold or hot

O best among the twice-born, it is therefore concluded that the highest perfection one can achieve by discharging the duties prescribed for one's own occupation according to caste divisions and orders of life is to please the Personality of Godhead.
