28/12/23 morning – How to Know God the Right Way (English) – Sao Paulo, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • In this material world everyone wants to enjoy more and more sense pleasures, but they always receive suffering and unhappiness.
  • ⁠Maya is very powerful.
  • ⁠Sloka: daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā (Bhagavad Gita 7.14).
  • ⁠Our only hope is to receive the Guru’s mercy.
  • ⁠In Maya, the person becomes a slave to anger, envy, etc.
  • ⁠Who is happy? Everyone thinks that the one who is the richest is happy, but no one is happy in this world.
  • ⁠About Vrtasura.
  • ⁠Sloka: mamottamaśloka-janeṣu sakhyaṁ
    saṁsāra-cakre bhramataḥ sva-karmabhiḥ (Srimad Bhagavatam 6.11.27).
  • When bhakti awakens in the heart, vairagya and jnana manifest naturally.
  • ⁠Three types of jnana: tvam padartha jnana (knowledge about the soul); tat padartha jnana (knowledge about God); jiva brahma aika jnana (knowledge about the union of the jiva with God): this must be REJECTED!
  • ⁠History of the jnani and the sadhu’s teaching on love relationships in family life.
  • ⁠Sadhu, Guru and Vaisnavas travel around the world giving their energies (their potency) to everyone. Sing the Holy Names!
