25/11/23 afternoon – The Beauty of the Transcendental World (English translation) – India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
- In Kali-yuga most people have faith in demigods.
- People do not know what is favourable or unfavourable, this discrimination is possible only through performing bhajana.
- The four types of people who worship Krsna, as mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita.
- The story of when the elephant Gajendra was pulled into the water by a crocodile.
- A person can do bhajana only if he has sukriti, which comes through
sadhu-sanga.
- Manjari-seva is the highest service, and, the sevas of the nisanta-lila period.
- The effulgence emanating from Radharani’s body is the colour of molten gold, and Krsna’s body shines like a blue diamond.
- The four perfumes with special fragrances that are sprayed in the nikunjas (arbour, grove; a solitary place for meeting and enjoying Radha and Krsna).
- In the transcendental world everything is eternally beautiful and fresh. You can only enter the nikunjas with the permission of the manjaris.
- Krsna’s sweet lila massaging and decorating Radharani’s hair while She was on His lap.
- The more you listen to harikatha, the more greed will arise in your heart.
- The most valuable jewel of all is within your heart, and by listening to harikatha it will be possible to awaken this svarupa (spiritual form).
- The nine limbs of bhakti.
- Song: Śrī Śrī Rādhā-kṛpā-kaṭākṣa-stava-rāja, spoken by Siva.
- We should not share spiritual feelings. Example of the camphor aroma that disappears after opening the box.
- About Yama-loka.
- An uttama-maha-bhagavata does not consider what is material or not, for his Istadeva (Adorable Deity) is everywhere.
- The example of the mother who welcomes and cleans her child after doing his physiological needs.
- Bhagavan says that He does not abandon even the worst of the devotees who worship Him.
- The humour of the gopis is the highest there is, and it is not common to have a desire for this type of humour.
