29/06/24 midday (at the bedroom door) – The Importance of Practising Bhajana (English translation) | Delhi, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • The meaning of prema.
  • If you have debts with someone you must pay that person. The sadhu pays someone through Harikatha.
  • The sadhu’s duty is to practise bhajana and teach others how to practise it too.
  • A true sadhu wants his disciples to preach and encourage people to chant the Holy Names, just as Mahaprabhu did.
  • The soul conditioned in Kali-yuga has no faith.
  • We should insist three times for someone to chant Hare Krsna, and if the person does not chant the third time, we can engage him in prasada-seva or other seva.
  • About people who reach Krsna Consciousness, through sukrti and by chance.
  • Story of the mouse who was burned to death by a ghee lamp and in the next life became a princess who performed puja.
  • Explanation of the correct puja sequence during Arati.
  • Yugala-seva: the service that the Gaudiya Sampradaya practices is aimed at the Divine Couple Radha and Krsna together.
  • There is no restriction on listening to high harikatha topics, however when doing arcana (worship), what should be followed is always according to your adhikara (qualification).
  • One should listen with faith to the harikatha on rasa-lila uttered by the lips of an uttama-maha-bhagavata.
  • In the material world, internally, people are not really interested in the problems you tell them.
  • Whoever is in family life should stay in it and do bhajana.
