MIND bandhur ātmātmanas tasya yenātmaivātmanā jitaḥ anātmanas tu śatrutve vartetātmaiva śatru-vat For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy. (BG 6.6) bandhur ātmātmanas tasya yenātmaivātmanā jitaḥ anātmanas tu śatrutve vartetātmaiva śatru-vat For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy.

  11. Next Life – YES or NO? • If there is Subtle body  There is next life for sure. • Mind is the driving factor that takes you the next body • Have to dissolve the Subtle body and nullify it • How? 11

  12. Next Life – YES or NO? yaḿ yaḿ vāpi smaran bhāvaḿ tyajaty ante kalevaram taḿ tam evaiti kaunteya sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, O son of Kuntī, that state he will attain without fail (BG 8.6) anta-kāle ca mām eva smaran muktvā kalevaram yaḥ prayāti sa mad-bhāvaḿ yāti nāsty atra saḿśayaḥ And whoever, at the end of his life, quits his body, remembering Me alone, at once attains My nature. Of this there is no doubt (BG 8.5) 12

  13. Dissolve the Subtle Body hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare iti sodasaka namnam kali-kalmasa-nasanam natah parataropyah sarva-vedesu drishyate These sixteen syllables of the ‘Hare Krsna’ Maha mantra are the only means to counteract the contaminations of Kali. There is no other way, as said by all the revealed scriptures (Lord Brahma to Narada Muni) 13

  14. THE END • Please control your mind using your intelligence • Take shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord • Follow vedic tradition for discipline
