19/08/22pm – Sri Krishna Janmashtami (English translation) – India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

-Today is Krishna’s birthday
-Sahajiya is just talking about rasa without following the principles
-You must have a foundation in knowledge and follow principles (tattva-siddhanta) before entering into rasa-siddhanta
-There is only one paratattva: Vrajendra-nandana Syamasundar Himself
-4 rupas in which Bhagavan manifests Himself: svayam-rupa, vaibhava, shakti, and maya
-Citya-vaibhava, maya-vaibhava, jiva-vaibhava
-The baddha-jiva is attracted to maya-shakti, and therefore goes around in samsara, if you are very fortunate you will get the doctor of the sadhu to cure you of this sickness
-Impersonalists do not want to accept parinamavada, that there is one pure thing and it is creating other pure things
-Definitions of vastu-parinamavada, shakti-parinamavada
-Explanations of Brahma-prakriti, Paramatma-prakriti, and Bhagavat-prakriti
-The six characteristics that define Bhagavan
-Krishna is so beautiful He becomes amazed at His own reflection
-Pastime of the man who kicked a dog in front of the temple in order for Ramachandra to pass through, though this mood is incorrect
-Krsna is atmarama and aptakama
-The best lila of the Lord is when He took a human form
-Pastime of Krsna asking Srimati Radha to put Her feet on His head
-There are no birth lilas or demon-killing lilas in the spiritual world
-The five types of siddhis: sadhana-siddhi, mantra-siddhi, svarupa-siddhi, bhava-siddhi, vastu-siddhi. You must take these five siddhis before you become a parikara in the eternal lila
-Definitions of mantra-mayi-upasana and svarasiki-upasana
-By listening to hari-katha, your seed potential starts to mature
-Your svarupa is eternal and fixed, what you have as a seed and potency inside is what you will be in the spiritual world
-All rupanuga-bhaktas are raganuga-bhaktas, but not all raganuga are rupanuga-bhaktas
-Manjaris never meet with Krsna alone. Radharani tests your manjari bhava before allowing you to serve her as one
-You must delve into hari-katha from the Vraja-rasika vaisnavas, and only then will you be able to achieve the topmost madhurya-rasa
-Krsna is very giving on Janmastami, so it’s best to ask to be a kinkari maidservant of Srimati Radhika
-If you go too deep into tattva principles and theories, your head will be confused. For Krishna Janmastami, go into the madhurya-rasa, and go to Srimati Radhika
-Mahaprabhu will shower blessings on Janmastami, then you will get the kripa of Sri Krsna and Srimati Radhika
-Go to the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu first, for no one else can give vraja-prema. Krsna is miser but Gaurasundara is generous
