22 Feb 2024 morning – Nityananda Trayodashi (English) – Santiago, Chile | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • Sloka: utsāhān niścayād dhairyāt tat-tat-karma pravartanāt (Sri Upadesamrta 3).
  • ⁠All Scriptures glorify sadhu-sanga.
  • ⁠Association with the sadhu happens only when our sukrti is accumulated and mature.
  • ⁠Travelling in the cycle of births and deaths, when the time of liberation arrives, we acquire association with the sadhu, serve and develop a taste for harikatha.
  • ⁠Krsna-nama is very powerful, why don’t we have a taste for chanting?
  • ⁠Without Nityananda’s mercy no one attains Bhakti.
  • ⁠Cling to Nityananda’s feet and sing with firm faith!
  • ⁠Nityananda is akanda-guru-tattva: the undivided principle of Guru.
  • ⁠Jagai and Madhai hurt Nityananda, but He was not offended and granted mercy to them.
  • ⁠In the incarnations of Goura and Nitai, They did not kill any demons, but only granted mercy through nama-sankirtana indiscriminately.
  • ⁠Song: Nadiya Godrume Nityananda Mahajana.
  • It is only possible to free oneself in Kali-yuga by taking refuge in the Holy Names.
  • ⁠Song: Ke Jabi Ke Jabi Bhai Bhava Sindhu Para.
  • ⁠Nityananda opened the prema market to save all the jivas of Kali-yuga.
  • ⁠Nityananda explains that we should not practise karma, yoga and tapasya, we should practise nama-sankirtana, and the payment is faith in the Holy Names.
  • ⁠Funny lila of Nityananda taking Mahaprabhu to honour prasada at the temples of a strange sadhu who drank alcohol. Mahaprabhu leaves, He follows all the rules but Nityananda does not.
  • ⁠Mahaprabhu’s lila advising a friend to accept Nityananda Prabhu as Himself.
  • ⁠Nityananda acts as sevaka and He is an avadhuta.
  • ⁠Song: Akroda Paramananda.
  • ⁠Nityananda is more merciful than Mahaprabhu himself.
