03/03/24 evening – Preaching Krsna Consciousness (English) – Alto Paraiso, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

PART 1

  • Congratulations to the Alto Paraíso festival and to all the devotees who helped establish the Temple there.
  • Stories from the beginning of preaching in Brazil.
  • It is very important to give the evidence of sastras, without speculation when we say harikatha, so that people accept the philosophy.
  • Raya Ramananda said that our goal (sadhya) begins with varnasrama-dharma, following the rules of society.
  • We must follow the rules to then be able to preach, otherwise we become a disturbance to society.
  • The story of the doctor who asked the patient to return three days later so he could practise what he was going to prescribe.
  • Practise the four principles and chant the Holy Names, only then will your preaching be successful.
  • Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that to chant the Holy Names we must never criticise anyone.
  • We must respect all beings because Sri Krsna is in their hearts.
  • The Lord gave us a tongue to glorify Him, Sri Guru and all the Vaishnavas.
  • Song: Govinda Damodara Madhaveti.
  • The gopis always glorify Sri Krsna while doing their household chores.
  • The Visnu Purana says that Laksmi Devi passes by every house at the time of brahma-muhurta.
  • We must be awake in the brahma-muhurta.
  • Song: Sri Guruvastakam.
  • Krsna consciousness is letting your mind be absorbed in Sri Krsna, harikatha and harinama.
  • History of Ajamil.
  • Our kathas are so that we can absorb ourselves in the moods of Vraja.
  • Song: Sri Govardhanastakam.
  • Only in sadhu-sanga do the moods of Vraja awaken in the heart.
