05/01/24 evening – Disappearance of Sri Srimad BV Narayana GM (English) – Sao Paulo, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

– Glorification about his life and philosophical contributions.

– From an early age, several devotees are serving Guru Pada Padma, this is bhakti, enthusiasm to serve.

– Srila Gurudeva Narayana surrendered completely to his Guru Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami, offering all the love he dedicated to his parents, his wife and his children.

– Song: Atma Nivedana by Bhaktivinoda Thakura.

– Our Gurus are eternal associates of Srimati Radhika, in the eternal spiritual form – siddha-svarupa. But they appear in this world in the form of sadhakas (practitioners) just to guide us.

– Pastimes of Srila Gurudeva BV Narayana, when Seva Kunja’s pujari will deliver Radharani’s prasada to him at Her command.

– Even if you are under the shelter of a bona fide Guru, without bhajana and sadhana, it is not possible to reach the spiritual goal.

– It is not enough to accept initiation if you do not practise spiritual life, if you offend Guru and Vaisnavas it will not do any good. Don’t criticise, do bhajana and sadhana.

– Example of Tulasi Dasa in Rama-Carita-Manasa, about rain in the bamboo grove: although it rains, there is no flower or fruit, that is how it is when there is no surrender to the Guru.

– Guru-seva is surrendering everything, body, mind and words. If Gurudeva is happy so the goal is reached.

– Hobby of Ananga Mohan Brahmacari, personal servant of the Guru, seriously ill with tuberculosis and Narayana Gosvami, without hesitation, went to take care of him in the hospital.

– Visrambhena-guru-seva, service with intimacy, like Srimati Radhika who serves Krsna perfectly.

– Gurudeva did not leave. He is watching. How can we satisfy Gurudeva? Who controls Radha? The manjaris. Our Spiritual Masters are Manjaris. Srila Gurudeva is Ramana Manjari.
