28 Dec 2023 morning walk – How To Practise Sadhana (English) – Sao Paulo, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

– The difference between sadhaka-rupena and siddha-rupena. – ⁠Stayibhava is the fixed mood of the devotee, that mood that never changes, example: Vrajanatha and Vijay Kumara of Jaiva Dharma. – ⁠The difference between sadhaka and parikara. – ⁠Everyone wants the mood vraja-parakiya-bhava, because just as all rivers are in the sea, all moods are found in parakiya. – ⁠Sloka: anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau (CC Adi-lila 1.4). – ⁠Not everyone has the potency to be a Manjari in their heart. But whatever it is your potency, when you discover it, you will be very happy. – ⁠About the power of humour that Uddhava and the Pandavas have. – ⁠Through true yearning one can attain vraja-prema. – ⁠The beginning of spiritual life begins by taking shelter at the Guru’s lotus feet, receiving diksa, siksa and serving. – ⁠Svaha means: sva (soul) and aha (completely surrender). – ⁠Explanation of the five types of sadhana in raganuga-bhakti: bhava-maiy-sadhana; bhava-sambandhi-sadhana; bhava-anukula-sadhana; bhava-pratikula-sadhana; bhava-avirudha-sadhana. – ⁠The five main humours and the seven secondary ones. – ⁠Everyone must follow the rules of vaidhi-bhakti. – ⁠All asramas must chant the holy names and serve. – ⁠Sadhu, Guru and Vaisnavas will help you remove the anarthas and realise your eternal constitutional form of soul. – ⁠Mahaprabhu is our only hope! Kaha Na Gaura Katha Song. – ⁠In Kali-yuga our Adorable Deity is Caitanya Mahaprabhu, combined form of Radha and Krsna. – ⁠In Vrndavana only siddha-maha-purusas can stay, but in Navadvipa, everyone (siddha and sadhaka) can stay. – ⁠Sloka: ārādhito yadi haris tapasā tataḥ kiṁ nārādhito yadi haris tapasā tataḥ kim (Srimad Bhagavatam 11.18.4). – Service to Navadvipa Dhama is doing parikrama and honouring prasada.
