13 Jun 2024 evening – The Guru and the Sadhaka (English) | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • You are not ordinary, ordinary people. It is surprising to see Western devotees practicing sadhana and maintaining Krsna consciousness.
  • ⁠You are the recipient of Nitai and Gouranga’s mercy!
  • ⁠In this matter world everyone is suffering and enjoying the result of their past actions.
  • ⁠Each person is responsible for the events in their own life.
  • ⁠Come to Goloka Vrndavana which is ananda-maiy-jagat, full of bliss.
  • ⁠What you should do now is to tolerate difficulties, chant the Holy Names and serve the Guru and the Vaisnavas.
  • ⁠Associate with the sadhu, sadhu-sanga, and practice devotional service. Thus, Mahaprabhu will shower His mercy upon you.
  • ⁠Song: Ke Jabi Ke Jabi Bhai Bhava Sindhu Para.
  • ⁠Baladeva/Nityananda/Gurudeva is the helmsman of the boat that crosses the material ocean.
  • ⁠Let Gurudeva hold your hand, Nityananda is strong and will never let you fall!
  • ⁠The baby doesn’t know his father’s riches; one day you will know the wealth of Radha-dasya!
  • ⁠We should stay in the places that are controlled by Srimati Radhika.
  • ⁠Beautiful lila of Radha planting vines when Krsna arrives in that garden.
  • ⁠When Gurudeva arrives at the devotee’s house, the devotee sings Svagatam with Love!
