05/03/24 morning- Glories of the Holy Names – (English) – Pipa, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

– Sukadeva Gosvamipada only glorified saradiya-rasa-lila and Srila Jayadeva Gosvamipada vasanta-lila explained in Gita-govinda grantha, which is very important. 

– Rasa-lila katha. Krishna only performs rasa dance for Srimati Radhika. Cintamani-maya bhajan (Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Sri Gaudiya Giti-guccha, page 116).

– Krishna’s topmost name is Mohan-candra. When we do bhajan sadhana and slowly progress, we will understand. 

– The holy names will give you everything, they are very powerful, nama-cintamini.

– In the heart are many doubts, many bad associations creating bad impressions.

– Srila  Visvanatha Cakravartipada tells two types of people come to bhakti: one who has sukrti from previous lives and those who come accidentally by the mercy of Guru, and they will leave. 

– If offence committed, previous sukrti covered, and when chanting holy names, this accumulated transcendental pious activity will be uncovered.

– Those who fall will take others with them and those who have previous sukrti will not fall down.

– Nama-abhasa creates sukriti. Example of Ajamila, who was a sinner but had not committed any offences, chanted, “Narayana!” and all his sins were destroyed and he attained sadhu-sanga. 

– Vishnu-duttas and Yama-duttas discuss nama-mahima.

– Very rare to take Darshan of the devotees of Lord. Now we don’t realise, but when we keep chanting realisation will come.

– Gurudeva will give baby japa-mala and they will get benefit even from wearing them around their necks.

– Suddha-bhaktas, they know everything, if jivas will fall or not but still, they give mercy to make the impressions.

– The process is simple: follow the four principles and chant the holy names.

– Why do we forget Krishna? Because we want to enjoy maya. But we cannot enjoy with her so she punishes us and makes us turn our face to Krishna.

–  We misuse our independence, which is to serve Krishna.

– Harikatha of Kala-Krishna dasa, servant of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who fell down with a gypsy girl.

– We have three things: feeling, willingness and knowledge, we are not inert, we have some independence.

– We are very lucky to come in Krishna Consciousness. 

– Everything Gurudeva spoke is in Madhurya Kadambini, very important grantha.
