28 Sep 2023 evening – The Pure Devotee is the Dearest of Bhagavan Sri Krsna (English translation) – Perth, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • Maya follows the orders of the Supreme Lord.
  • Lila of Parvati when she asks Siva, “Whom shall I worship?”
  • Siva replies: ārādhanānāṁ sarveṣāṁ viṣṇor ārādhanaṁ param (Srimad Bhagavatam 10.8.45).
  • There are those who worship Siva, Ganesa, Sakti, or Visnu.
  • Worship of Visnu is the highest worship, but worship of His devotees is even higher, because the Lord feels very happy.
  • Radha is the supreme devotee.
  • Ganga, Tulasi, and Govardana are very dear to Bhagavan.
  • Song: Sad Gosvamiastakam.
  • About the exemplary life of Srila Bhakti Vijnana Bharati Gosvami Maharaja, whose harikatha was as powerful as an “atomic bomb. Vijnana means accomplishment, and he taught by example.
  • The difference between punya (pious activity) and sukrti (transcendental pious activity).
  • By serving the Vaisnavas, one attains Goloka Vrndavana.
  • Lila of Narada Rsi visiting a couple of devotees, the wife accepting diksa, the husband not, and the different destinies they had in the next life.
  • About Prahlada Maharaja and his schoolmates.
  • No service is superior to guru-seva: vani-seva and vapu-seva.
  • Srila Bhakti Vijnana Bharati Gosvami Maharaja and Srila Gurudeva Narayana Gosvami Maharaja had great affection for each other.
  • Song: Sita Ram Kahiye.
  • Vaisnavas think/remember Radha Krsna’s pastimes even when they are asleep. That is why it is said that Vaisnavas do not sleep. The servant never rests.
  • Srila Bhakti Vijnana Bharati Maharaja manifested the Caitanya-caritamrta in Hindi. Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s humour is truly understood and explained only by Vaisnavas.
  • We can only know God through hearing, just as we can only know who a Vaisnava is through his story.
