24/11/23 morning – Do Not Commit Offences to Gurus and Vaisnavas (English translation) – Govardhana, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

PART 1

  • Sloka: tṛṇād api sunīcena
    taror api sahiṣṇunā (Siksastaka 3).
  • Mahaprabhu said that in Kali-yuga, the only sadhana is harinama.
  • Dvadasi, the day after ekadasi, is very auspicious, it is the day of Vaisnava-seva.
  • We only receive the pious merits of ekadasi when we break the fast at the right time.
  • There are ten types of offences when chanting the holy names (nama aparadha).
  • The first offence is satāṁ nindā. Nama Prabhu does not tolerate anyone who criticises the Vaisnavas.
  • The second offence is śivasya śrī-viṣṇor, thinking that Sivaji is equal to Visnu. The Demigod can never be on the platform of God. The servant does not sit on the same platform as the Master.
  • The third offence is guror avajnā. Gurudeva is more important than Bhagavan. At Jaya Dvani, the first worship is for Diksa Guru
    -If the sadhaka sings sixty rounds, he will have no time for idle talk. You need to sit in a quiet place to sing properly.
