you're very very interested because i

would want to talk about what you are

interested in

i like to talk about spirituality oh my

god spirituality

okay

okay

yeah pardon could you repeat that please

i find rare topics there

you find rare topics okay fine now

see whenever okay let me just little bit

talk about spirituality

what is that one figure

in indian spirituality that you are

almost always inspired by

uh

i

did not understand your question

now when i say one figure now figure

means i'm talking about who is that one

person okay i'm telling that person as

figure who's that one person in indian

spirituality or the books that you read

that you're

very impressed with that you take a lot

of learning from in your life

i'm impressed

well i can

say

that

in that you're talking

about that in in spirituality or how i'm

inspired to get into spirituality no no

no not about how you are inspired to get

into a spirituality now see you told me

that

last time when we talked about

spirituality you told you read books on

mahabharata ramayana

so in these books there are a lot of

characters okay in ramayana mahabharata

and the bhagavad-gita there's krishna

who inspires you a lot that is what i

want to do

i like to then

when krishna was small he would uh there

was a place in brindavan that place all

the people there i like them

okay okay okay fine

now

when you go to jaipur generally mathura

is on in up but you live in rajasthan

but have you visited any spiritual place

i know you're interested in spirituality

but have you visited any spiritual place

because there are many spiritual places

in bangalore as well i don't know

whether you have visited any

yeah there's a milk also in karnataka

only so i

i think today my mother and some other

people are also planning to go but apart

from that i think that after and there's

a

day of um

in which it is a kadashi so i think in

that or after

tell me what was it that you found very

fascinating in that place

because i personally haven't visited

that place at all

okay but that was visited in that one

but when i was a bit small but my mother

still tells story whatever what happened

there in the govardhan parikrama or go

it

means going around that to go over then

it's a

hill or i can say a mountain which will

go after that

so that we call it

so there i would i was small and my

father took me

on his shoulders and went after

sometimes i think something went on his

defeat something i don't know it's his

name in english but yeah something came

so he made me sit in the rickshaw and

then we did it i took only one other

so you went

around that government now what is the

significance of government

in krishna's life

just tell me when does that govardhana

incident happen what did krishna do with

government do you remember that

yes i remember

he left out the govathana mountain

because

actually it was raining because first

people were worshipping in the god of

rain then krishna stopped it and

remarked that why do we why do you

worship the india you should worship the

government is just doing the job of um

giving reigns to us so we should watch

go within it gives us a green

it is green it gives us it lets our cows

to graze in its um sweet grass

so

so all the people agree to this and they

started worshiping goers and with the

lots of excitement so but indra go

tagged that why are they worshipping

over them so a storm came in vrindavan

it was a flood camera so everybody was

crying for help then uh krishna lifted a

govathan as if a qualified cauliflower i

can say he lifted it and then everywhere

it was like yeah he lifted like a

cauliflower you want to tell and that's

his little finger he lifted the entire

part on his little finger yes

yeah

the tip of his little finger yes at the

tip of his absolutely

but you know do you remember

uh how many days uh was he standing like

that with the government on the tip of

his finger seven days

wow okay seven days wow that is very

nice that is very nice

and after seven days

indra got pacified i mean indra gave up

i think he realized that okay

krishna is a bigger god he is the god of

gods and so i should

accept my defeat and stop the raid is

that what indra did

yes

okay

now i'll tell you one interesting fact

uh

regarding this have you

in fact since you're from jaipur you

might have heard about this term

uh

have you heard about this

i think like um

many types of food ingredient many times

of ingredients many types of foods and

chapan is a number in hindi right

56 56 is known as chapman

so 56 good items different food items

are given to god so that we call chappan

absolutely and do you know what is the

connection between chapman book and

krishna carrying the gordhan parvath on

his hand

yeah it must be the chappan book because

it when it was governed in puja it was

many types of dishes were prepared

yes absolutely you know what is this you

are you are partly correct

in fact why do we call chapter

when krishna lifted this gourd and

parvath on it on the tip of his finger

he missed

56 meals

okay krishna missed 56 meals because he

was carrying the carrying the mountain

on the tip of the finger and that is the

reason

uh to

honor krishna missing 56

meals during those seven days we say

whenever we

get our

guests at home we say okay you come to

our home

chapan go we will prepare and chapan

borg is an absolutely delicious a very

very large meal with so many wonderful

things and that is exactly the meaning

of chapter book it's

did you know about this one

no i did not know about this

one but have you heard about the chapter

yeah i have heard about chippenham have

you tasted chapan ghost i mean generally

when uh either at your home or in your

village when you go to jaipur have you

heard this maybe in your hotel or maybe

your dadi or your nami speaking about

that we will have a chat meal and all

that stuff

i think once my mother was talking about

chappan

vogue or something in there

in my house we were talking about it and

that's why i just heard chappan vogue

and chapman must be something in hindi

so i guessed it

okay i'm asking you do you know how to

count in hindi because you you seem to

not know still

do you i'm sure in your class in your

school you have hindi as a second

language because that's your language

yeah i don't know how to count in a

hindi but i know to count in english

of course you know how to account in

english you speak english so well i'm

assuming that you know how to count in

english as well but hindi until what you

can count until what number can you

count

i can count till 10 and i can also speak

a little paths of 20.

oh okay speak a little parts of 20 in

fact i've never asked you

since you're from bangalore how

how well are you exposed to kannada

language the local language do you speak

any canada at all

no i don't speak canada but i know a

word of kannada

means

[Laughter]

but when you go to school what is the

primary language that you use to

communicate with your friends

and talk to them

i use english and mostly

mostly english okay that's correct

that's good that's good and in your

locality the the house that you stay in

i'm sure you must have a lot of friends

around and with them what is the

language that you communicate

hindi

india okay are you interested in knowing

more languages like canada also and of

course hindi is you know that english

you're learning and you know that but

are you interested

if it is necessary i am it will and i

will learn them it would be good and if

it is not necessary then why do you have

some extra things

oh i see why to have extra things if

it's not necessary that's a nice theory

that's very very nice okay fine i i i

would want to ask some

questions related to today's topic okay

we spoke a little bit about spirituality

and today's topic have you seen that

winning the lottery

yeah

okay

now you tell me havisha if you want a

lottery what all how will you spend that

money

i i as i'm a kid i don't know how to

spend money properly i'm not introduced

mothers my mother has to give me a good

and i have not spent a rupee till now

so yeah i know that i know you right now

you're very young to expose yourself to

dealing in money

okay but let us think let's let's be a

little bit creative and think okay fine

if i had some money i spend on this this

and this so just think about it uh

imagine the situation where you get some

money and i would want you to tell what

all will you spend on some of your

favorite things sell anything that you

want

i would buy a house in my favorite place

as i said

and i would buy a house and i would live

there

happily and then i could also buy a

beautiful we have a temple in which i

don't think we have much beautiful

clothes for so i will buy beautiful

clothes or no i'll i'll have a cloth

cloth i'll have a cloth and i'll make

clothes i'll make clothes out of that

cloth

i

i you stumped me you stumped me here i

don't know what is the difference

between cloth and clothes

what is the difference

cloth is as a material and clothes as

the clothes we wear oh i see okay that's

thank you for your teachings that's a

new word for me i never knew that you

can just change a little bit of clothes

and cloth and it becomes something that

you can wear also okay that's good

so where would you want to buy your

house and with the money that you have

ah my favorite place which is uh in

uttar pradesh generally vrindavan

are generally in vrindavan again okay

do you mean to say that

somewhere like houses it is

it's not

uh we don't make houses on brin on in

a there is no house in government

because in government it is considered

to be a form of krishna only so i'll not

make one go again i'll make on the

simple streets or i can say normal

houses wherever it is like buildings

okay right are you going to share some

money with your brother and sister

i'll give a quite a quarter of that

okay you'll give a quarter to your

sister you'd give a quarter to your

brother so you keep the half of that

money

yeah

ah okay okay

and cloths also you you you told that

you will buy some cloth and you'll make

clothes out of it yeah but uh but

together i would have the things i would

want to buy would be i can say it will

be um

not a quarter half and a quarter

oh i see

because my sister is also um has the

interest like me in spirituality so she

will also buy things like that whatever

i buy so it's obvious that she whatever

things i want to buy she will also buy

and she listens so she'll also buy

whatever i want so i can have that money

but you know you told me that you

generally you don't like watching movies

you don't celebrate birthdays also

so not much interest in buying dolls or

probably things to play with what about

your sister is she interested in

birthdays dolls

books of course books everybody is

interested i think if you're interested

i think your assistant is also

interested in books isn't it she doesn't

she doesn't know uh much reading so she

is not able to read spiritual books so

she has not she has not relished the

taste of

reading those types of books but she has

relished the terrible tastes of reading

read books

okay okay the ones that she has already

read she rereads it

yeah she has to reread it she has

relished with that terrible taste

okay why do you call it a terrible taste

what kind of books

isn't it boring in the

in the school also there's a book which

is our textbook so and we just go

through it every time isn't it boring

she has to wear everything

yes yes yes i know it's very boring but

uh she's such a young kid and she has to

grow to your age in order to understand

better and i think once she understands

better i think even she will treat

sudamurti's books the ones that you love

and the all the other works that you

read and in fact by that time you would

have graduated to a bigger quality book

you would have gone to difficult level

books difficult english better english

so we all improve with time and i'm sure

your sister will catch up

yeah i also think so my mother also does

this only that one day she'll do this

and that

yes yes what's your what's your sister's

name and your brother's name my sister's

name is harika and my brother's name is

keshav and in school we call him

harikesh

or his reality

oh hurry case okay and

i don't think he can read or talk can

your brother talk now

he can talk but he cannot read he cannot

read of course too young and i was

talking about you dividing

money between you

and your sister and your brother your

sister will buy just like you spiritual

places maybe a building in pradava

now your brother is too young to buy

anything is there something that you

would want to buy for him

oh whatever he says that only have to

wear that as it is his money served and

you know what will he buy he will just

buy toys that should be old and it will

be nothing it just be uh wasted of time

i just feel that because if you buy a

toy if we buy a blue i have a placard

car just in front of me so we buy a car

okay

so after some time what will happen to

that car it will be nothing we'll play

for how much days one days two days

three days only three days i can say

maximum or minimum three days maximum

three days we will play after that it

will be nothing it will just keep aside

it will just be a hyperbole so it will

not we will never be satisfied

[Music]

is

we felt the sun
