12/09/23 evening – The Glories of the Sadhu-sanga (English) – Brighton, United Kingdom | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • Glorification of the Janmastami Festival in Wales, United Kingdom, 2023.
  • Man proposes, God disposes.
  • The creation, nourishment and destruction of the material world by the Lord.
  • Problems arise when we think: “I am the doer”.
  • Wandering in the repeated cycle of births and deaths (samsara) and the example of Bharata Maharaja attached to a baby deer.
  • We cannot achieve our goal of perfection through knowledge alone.
  • Only when our sukrti is mature and accumulated can we truly associate with the sadhu and develop our bhakti-lata-bija.
  • Sadhu-sanga is very rare and means we hear his harikatha and follow his mood.
  • Sloka: brahmanda bhramite kona bhayavan jiva shloka explained (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, madhya-lila, 22.115)
  • Our faith will come when we follow the instructions of Guru and sastra, then he will give bhakti-lata-bija.
  • There is no need to give up anything, just connect with Krishna and do Krishna-samsara: everything belongs to Him.
  • The process of doing bhajana and sadhana and realizing that we are eternal servants of Krishna.
  • We are just two fingers away from Goloka Vrndavana.
  • Our great luck to have been born in this dhanya-kali-yuga is that this Kali-yuga is very special.
  • Those who chant the holy names are not ordinary people.
  • The Lord mercifully gives us the opportunity to associate with the sadhu. He organizes everything, not by chance: gaura-krpa.
  • Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s prediction and promise to all the jivas of this Kali-yuga, whether qualified or not.
  • Always be absorbed in Nityananda Prabhu who is more merciful than Sri Sacinandana Gaurahari: guru-krpa-eva-kevalam.
  • Radha-Krsna-lila katha of the glories of the dust of the lotus feet of Srimati Radhika.
  • Srila Gurudeva tells about a tree he saw in Vrndavana with the name of Srimati Radhika on each leaf.
