22/07/22pm – Hearing Hari-katha like Prahlada (English) – Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

-The glories of sadhu-sanga: 1/11th of a second is all you need to attain perfection
-Sadhu-sanga gives positive samskaras, asat-sanga gives bad samskaras
-Example of bringing a horse to a pond, you cannot force it to drink
-Sukriti brings you in front of a sadhu, but you must listen attentively to their hari-katha and with firm faith to attain bhakti
-Sukadeva Gosvami told Pariksita Maharaja about Lord Kapiladeva’s conversation with Devahuti
-The two teachers of Prahlada Maharaja Sanda (Bull) and Amarka (Monkey) who never discussed krsna-katha
-Kayadhu, Prahlada Maharaja’s mother, stayed in the ashrama of Narada Rishi while Prahlada was in the womb, and this is where he heard hari-katha from his Guru Narada Rishi
-Meaning of ‘dhira-shraddha’: Faith that if I listen to the amorous pastimes of Radha & Krsna, my life will be successful
-Ananya: one pointed. Only fixed with shuddha-bhakti: anyabhilasita sunyam
-After hearing hari-katha you must speak it, then suddha-bhakti will come
-Listen to hari-katha: then your mind will be fixed, and your mind won’t be disturbed
-Why listening to hari-katha is so difficult for the conditioned soul
-Pastime explaining the blessing that if the conditioned soul listens to hari-katha, they will go to Vaikuntha. Yamarajaloka was empty because so many were listening. 4 daughters said they would capture all but the most high class devotees by making them fall asleep during hari-katha
-Sadhana-, bhava- and prema-bhakti
-In sadhana-bhakti there are 2 leaves: kleshagni (all sorts of nonsense disappears) and subhada (good qualification comes)
-Give love & affection to all the living entities, get rid of envy & jealousy
-Pastime of asking Lord Yamaraja, Lord Brahma, or Lord Siva, what are the glories of chanting the holy name?
