09 May 2024 evening – Sadhu Sanga Mahima (English) – San Nicolao, Italy | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • “I am trying my best to satisfy the hearts of Srila Gurudeva and Guru Parampara.”
  • ⁠”I do not know the mercy of Radha Krsna, Nitai and Gouranga, nor of other Vaisnavas, I know the mercy of my Gurudeva.”
  • ⁠Every disciple is indebted to his Gurudeva.
  • ⁠In this material world, if you tell the truth, people start criticising. Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada’s life was threatened.
  • ⁠Two types of people in the world: dvau bhūta-sargau loke ’smin… (CC Adi-lila 3.91).
  • ⁠Do bhajana and sadhana and realize your soul.
  • ⁠Always associate with high-class devotees.
  • ⁠Verse: ‘sādhu-saṅga’, ‘sādhu-saṅga’ — sarva-śāstre kaya… (CC Madhya-lila 22.54).
  • ⁠How do you know who is a sadhu or not?
  • ⁠Symptoms of a bona fide sadhu: titikṣavaḥ kāruṇikāḥ suhṛdaḥ sarva-dehinām… (SB 3.25.21).
  • Sadhus travel from place to place distributing mercy to all living entities.
  • ⁠What is very cheap is counterfeit, a perfect sadhu is not found anywhere.
  • ⁠In this life collect sukrti.
  • ⁠When your sukrti is accumulated and mature, you will realise the heart of the sadhu.
  • ⁠The Holy Names purify the heart and, one day, you will understand the heart of the sadhu.
  • ⁠Aksaya Tritiya means “that which is indestructible”. Read the Bhagavad Gita on this day.
  • ⁠Description of various activities and various auspicious happenings on the day of Aksaya Tritiya.
  • ⁠We need to know the heart of the person we want to serve, Radha knows Krsna’s heart perfectly!
