12/08/23 evening, beach walk – The Potency of Harikatha (English translation) – Jagannatha Puri, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • Radha controls Krsna with Her maan (transcendental anger), a very high feeling in parakiya-bhava.
  • Maan is like the goad that controls the elephant (man-ankusam).
  • Song: Śrī Rādhā-kripa-kaṭākṣa-stava-rāja.
  • Krsna runs after Radharani.
  • Jayadeva Gosvami talks about the spring rasa dance.
  • About the stimuli created in Gurudeva’s heart by seeing the sea of Jagannatha Puri.
  • Harikatha destroys all the anarthas of the heart.
  • It’s no use taking a bath in the waters of holy places without listening to harikatha, it’s just entertainment, although some sukrti is achieved.
  • Mahaprabhu bathed the body of Haridasa Thakura in the sea of Jagannatha Puri.
  • Disciple’s question: “How do we reveal our siddha-deha?”
  • Gurudeva’s answer: “The potency is already there, everything will manifest by listening to harikatha.”
  • Like a washing machine, sadhana cleanses the anarthas from the devotee’s heart.
  • It is not possible to do sadhana and bhajana without the mercy of Guru and Krishna.
  • Only those who have sukrti can approach the sadhu to hear harikatha.
  • How can the cotton be removed from the ears of the conditioned soul? Only by hearing the harikatha.
  • Nityananda Prabhu is akhandha-guru-tattva.
