20 Oct 2023 evening – Sadhu-sanga and Nama Sankirtana are Very Powerful (English) – Auckland, New Zealand | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • Human life is very rare, there is no guarantee that we will get a human body again; sadhu-sanga is our only hope.
  • Association with the sadhu, and listening to harikatha, are the only process to conquer Maya, in this Kali-yuga.
  • Our aim is how to serve Guru and Krsna.
  • How to chant the holy names? Forsaking all offences.
  • Sadhu-sanga and nama-sankirtana are very powerful. By chanting the holy names with the sadhu, potency will come.
  • There is only one God. He has many names. The holy names are the main ones.
  • Madhurya-nama, the sweet names of the Lord. If you sing, in the company of the sadhu, sweet pastimes manifest in your heart.
  • Rasabihari, it is Krsna who does the Rasa dance with the Gopis. Rasesvari is Radha who controls the dance of Rasa
  • Radha Ramana, it is Krsna always playing with Radha. Radharani is the Queen of Vrndavana, the Supreme Controller. Without Radha, Krsna is only half.
  • The vrajavasis always sing Radhe. The Yamuna, the monkeys, the pandits and scholars all sing: Radhe!
  • If you sing: Radhe! all obstacles will be destroyed and your heart will be in joy.
  • All the trees and birds of Vrndavana, in the brahma-muhurta, sing, Radhe!
  • If you chant: Radhe! Krsna will be happy and will come after you.
  • The Gaudiya song is: Radhe Krsna Radhe Krsna Krsna Krsna Radhe Radhe / Radhe Syam Radhe Syam Syam Syam Radhe Radhe Radhe.
  • Our adorable Deity is Radha Krsna.
  • In this Kali-yuga, our adorable Deity is Goura Hari.
  • Goura Hari’s complexion is white, not black. And their weapon is the holy names, to purify the hearts of all living entities.
  • It is through the mercy of Goura Hari, that we are able to chant the holy names.
