01/03/24 evening – We Are Servants of Krsna: How to Understand This? (English) – Alto Paraiso, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

PART 1

  • In Kali-yuga people do not have time to listen to hari-katha and harinama, they are always busy with material matters.
  • Human beings have forgotten the Lord, and their true identity: eternal servants of Krsna.
  • You are not this body, you are the soul. You are not a resident of this world, but of the spiritual world.
  • What is your real home address? Who are your real father, mother, friends?
  • Spiritual science explains, but how to understand? Chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra.
  • If I sing, who will take care of my business? Mahaprabu said: “Sing with your mouth, while with your hands you do your duties.”
  • When chanting in a concentrated way, the mind becomes absorbed in the Holy Names, which manifest themselves spontaneously on the tongue.
  • The mind is always wandering from one side to another. If the mind is not controlled, many disturbances will come.
  • How to control the mind? The only process in this age is the one that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu taught: chanting Hare Krsna.
  • It is necessary to practice and practice, repeatedly (abhyasa) and detach from the enjoyment of material objects of the senses (vairagya).
  • Krsna says in the Bhagavad Gita: “Through karma, jnana, austerities or yoga, it is not possible to reach My abode, only through Nama Sankirtana.”
  • With the chanting of the Holy Names Hare Krsna, the mind becomes calm, happiness arises in the heart and the body acquires transcendental energy.
