rainbow

2

: 00:00:04

I must stay

3

: 00:00:06

peace be with you and upon you

4

: 00:00:09

this is just magic on the daily

5

: 00:00:16

and Mark

6

: 00:00:19

so today we're in Rheims

7

: 00:00:21

I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right Rheims

8

: 00:00:23

Rheims it's in France

9

: 00:00:26

not too far from Paris

10

: 00:00:28

and above us here is the beautiful famous Notre Dame

11

: 00:00:33

the Cathedral of our lady

12

: 00:00:36

I think the lady they're referring to is Mary Mother

13

: 00:00:40

Mary Mother of France so to speak

14

: 00:00:45

and like the Notre Dame in Paris

15

: 00:00:47

this Notre Dame is exceptionally beautiful

16

: 00:00:50

this is another

17

: 00:00:53

class amazing Gothic church like Shart

18

: 00:00:58

which we visited two summers ago

19

: 00:01:01

that long already yeah

20

: 00:01:02

after Ron Shart Ron

21

: 00:01:07

no no no

22

: 00:01:07

it was after we saw the the one that you didn't like

23

: 00:01:11

designed by Lacourbousier

24

: 00:01:14

wrong song oh

25

: 00:01:15

the one on the hill yeah

26

: 00:01:19

but I was in a bad mood that day

27

: 00:01:20

so it was difficult to please me that day

28

: 00:01:25

on that note it's amazing when it's if

29

: 00:01:27

if the supreme person is your focus

30

: 00:01:30

then you don't expect

31

: 00:01:31

person you're with to be the supreme

32

: 00:01:34

and to they can't satisfy

33

: 00:01:36

I know Maria can't fully satisfy me and I

34

: 00:01:38

I can't fully satisfy her

35

: 00:01:40

we know yes

36

: 00:01:41

especially when I have a bad day

37

: 00:01:42

go on like wise ha ha ha

38

: 00:01:46

so we were thinking Maria made a good observation

39

: 00:01:48

I mean this is a gorgeous church inside

40

: 00:01:51

this goes back to the year 7

41

: 00:01:53

800 years

42

: 00:01:55

600 718

43

: 00:01:58

and all possession of kings was baptized

44

: 00:02:01

here so to speak or given a coronation

45

: 00:02:04

they got anointed by some holy oil

46

: 00:02:08

some holy oil with some holy stuff yeah

47

: 00:02:13

and it's supposed to link them to the kings of Israel

48

: 00:02:15

so they got the chosen ones so that

49

: 00:02:18

so the Franks could be the chosen ones haha

50

: 00:02:22

well just know that every living entity is child of God

51

: 00:02:26

we're all the chosen ones

52

: 00:02:27

we're all the chosen ones if we choose to be

53

: 00:02:30

here comes the new generation of the chosen ones

54

: 00:02:33

the little ones here comes the

55

: 00:02:35

there's a whole procession of young children coming

56

: 00:02:37

yeah let me show it

57

: 00:02:42

oh this little chosen ones coming too

58

: 00:02:48

worship in one way or the other

59

: 00:02:52

so all of life in the universe is related actually

60

: 00:02:55

we're all on the same team

61

: 00:02:57

we're all on the in the same family

62

: 00:02:59

there is a to see otherwise is Maya or ignorance

63

: 00:03:03

there comes a lot of peace in non secularism sect

64

: 00:03:08

sectarianism sectarianism

65

: 00:03:11

although secularism sounds really nice too

66

: 00:03:13

don't be secular a secularist

67

: 00:03:16

that's a tough one that's a tongue twister

68

: 00:03:18

don't be sectarian yeah

69

: 00:03:20

be universal comes a lot of peace with it

70

: 00:03:23

you don't belong to a team anymore

71

: 00:03:25

you just belong to the one team one family

72

: 00:03:28

one team one team

73

: 00:03:30

and right now more than ever

74

: 00:03:31

we need them to be reminded of this

75

: 00:03:32

that we're all on the same team

76

: 00:03:34

we have different we're driving different cars pink

77

: 00:03:37

79

: 00:03:40

white cars but they're not us

82

: 00:03:49

or woman against guys old against young

83

: 00:03:53

Gen Z or the uglies against the beautiful

84

: 00:03:56

it's just the matter that surrounds us

85

: 00:03:58

do you know what was it you were asking me if I wanna

86

: 00:04:03

oh

87

: 00:04:04

no but the clothes

88

: 00:04:06

we wanted to get rid of some clothes

89

: 00:04:07

and I just realized it's just matter surrounding

90

: 00:04:10

it doesn't matter it literally doesn't matter

91

: 00:04:12

it's not ours it's funny

92

: 00:04:14

it's not ours to begin with

93

: 00:04:16

but please talk about Bacti now Bacti

94

: 00:04:19

so Bacti one of our spiritual masters in our

95

: 00:04:23

in our sampradaya

96

: 00:04:24

or discipling succession line of teachers

97

: 00:04:27

Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Takur

98

: 00:04:30

all glories to bhaktisiddhanta

99

: 00:04:32

thank you for translating all these books

100

: 00:04:34

yeah thank you for bhaktisiddhanta for translating

101

: 00:04:37

is the same that bhaktisiddhanta is a spiritual person

102

: 00:04:40

we went to his

103

: 00:04:42

yes of course

104

: 00:04:43

he asked him to translate the things we went to his

105

: 00:04:50

I don't know if it was in brendavan or an avenue

106

: 00:04:53

one of the two we can find out

107

: 00:04:54

we went to his with Mahasamari tomb

108

: 00:04:57

where he left his body and here we are today in a rince

109

: 00:05:02

and Maria was just mentioned

110

: 00:05:03

what you were mentioning about the cost of the church

111

: 00:05:05

oh we were walking inside

112

: 00:05:07

and they're just restoring the organ

113

: 00:05:11

and the restoration of the organ is 2 million something

114

: 00:05:14

just for that one organ and they're asking for a lot

115

: 00:05:20

and all you need is about 200 bucks

116

: 00:05:22

200 bucks for another harmonium because to go yeah

117

: 00:05:25

because of the

118

: 00:05:27

the weather and it's getting dark of pollution

119

: 00:05:30

and it has to be clean and I just thought of myself

120

: 00:05:33

it's so much easier than I told you yeah

121

: 00:05:36

about the temple in your heart to

122

: 00:05:37

to maintain the temple in your heart

123

: 00:05:39

because you don't have to ask your brothers

124

: 00:05:41

and sisters to donate no

125

: 00:05:43

some currency

126

: 00:05:45

and then I said that you can actually maintaining

127

: 00:05:48

you can get some simple vegetarian foods

128

: 00:05:50

offer them to the Lord and then give them

129

: 00:05:52

distribute them to your brothers and sisters instead

130

: 00:05:55

instead of asking for money

131

: 00:05:58

so then I said that you remember what we saw

132

: 00:06:00

the beautiful uh

133

: 00:06:01

plaque in in

134

: 00:06:03

in between oh yeah

135

: 00:06:05

we should share it on the website yeah

136

: 00:06:07

in it there's a picture of Baki Sarisavi

137

: 00:06:12

when he was older

138

: 00:06:14

sitting meditating

139

: 00:06:15

he's got his beard his robe

140

: 00:06:17

and what did he said

141

: 00:06:18

I have come to establish temples in everybody's heart

142

: 00:06:26

yeah there's a true saints prayer and

143

: 00:06:27

you know the nothing

144

: 00:06:29

it's beautiful

145

: 00:06:30

we love the ancient temples and cathedrals

146

: 00:06:33

it's a cultural icon it's very beautiful

147

: 00:06:36

it's very quiet inside majestic

148

: 00:06:38

and the craftsmanship that went into it is just

149

: 00:06:43

but uh

150

: 00:06:43

then it burnt down yeah

151

: 00:06:46

it burnt down

152

: 00:06:49

so they had to redo it all over again

153

: 00:06:53

at this age it's really important to focus first on the

154

: 00:06:56

the Lord in the heart and the temple of

155

: 00:06:58

the temple of the heart our our

156

: 00:07:01

our our heart is an altar

157

: 00:07:03

we make our offering and really are offering it love

158

: 00:07:07

mercy and kindness gentleness

159

: 00:07:10

peace

160

: 00:07:11

good tidings to all nonsectarianism universalism

161

: 00:07:17

we're all in the one body of the cosmic Christ so speak

162

: 00:07:23

Christ Son of God

163

: 00:07:26

Christos from Mesiah 1 who is worthy of being anointed

164

: 00:07:34

this is the title

165

: 00:07:36

and Yishua and Yusuf

166

: 00:07:37

Emanuel of Nazareth was such a Messiah

167

: 00:07:42

so great works of art were built around his teachings

168

: 00:07:47

how beautiful to be reminded of them

169

: 00:07:50

in such a gorgeous temple

170

: 00:07:51

but more important than the external temple

171

: 00:07:54

is the internal one

172

: 00:07:56

and actually at his time of preaching the gospel

173

: 00:08:00

he was not encouraging his disciples to build great

174

: 00:08:03

monuments of art

175

: 00:08:05

he was saying go to the poor

176

: 00:08:06

the sick the

177

: 00:08:07

the weary

178

: 00:08:09

the simple mind breaking the bread

179

: 00:08:11

the meat instead

180

: 00:08:12

break some bread offer it

181

: 00:08:14

and then eat it together as brothers and sisters

182

: 00:08:17

so today on the road with Juicy Magic on the daily

183

: 00:08:23

this is Mark and Maria and we're Juicy Magic

Cathedral of green in France as we head to the coast

188

189

: 00:08:47

under the sea under the channel

190

: 00:08:49
