12 Aug 2023 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.
