08/12/23 afternoon – Leaving the Body While Singing the Holy Names (English translation) – Bhavanagar, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • Krsna is the Supreme Enjoyer, Purusa, but the conditioned soul in the gross and subtle body thinks that he is the enjoyer.
  • Pastime of Bharata Maharaja, in which, due to attachment, he is born as a deer.
  • Tulasi Dasa explains that the human body exists to do bhajana to the Lord.
  • In the Bhagavad Gita, Krsna says that a person’s thoughts at the time of death define his body in the next life.
  • Whoever does bhajana is not deceived by happiness, sadness, birth and death, because he knows that everything depends on the Lord.
  • Today is ekadasi, the day to chant the holy names even more.
  • One should not glorify or criticize anyone, much less offend the Vaisnavas.
  • The human body is very fragile, like a glass harmonium, it can crack or break at any time.
  • The soul, within the body, is immortal, and desires to do bhajana to the Lord.
  • Now someone wastes time with material life, but, to abandon the body chanting the holy names, it will be necessary to practice spiritual life considerably.
  • In Kali-yuga, only the chanting of the holy names can save everyone.
