19/08/23 early evening – The Guru Should Be Respected Like God (English translation) – Delhi, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

- Bhrgu Rsi’s lila and the imprint of his feet on Visnu’s chest.
- The different tattvas of Brahma, Visnu and Sivaji.

- Jivas suffer the reactions generated by their own actions (karma).
- Story of Dunduli, the sadhu, and the mystic fruit.
- About mantra-siddhi.

- The tainted character of a demon even with diverse qualities.
- Even with many defects, a one-pointed devotee of Krsna should be respected and considered a sadhu.

- One of the nama-aparadhas: consider Siva on the same level as Krsna.
- You have to have both feet in the same boat to sail.
- Do not criticize others and consider only your own faults.
- Only bhakti can clean the heart.
- A friendly relationship between Krsna and the vrajavasis.
