03 Aug 2024 morning – Types of Faith (English) | Badger, USA | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • On Vaisnava suddha sadacara: good Vaisnava behaviour.
  • Bhajana and sadhana are useless for one who commits offences.
  • Only constant hearing of Harikatha can protect us from Maya.
  • On nama-aparadha.
  • In Kali-yuga people’s minds are contaminated by tama-guna, so it is difficult to meditate on the Lord.
  • Even if your pronunciation is bad, the Lord accepts the chanting of the Holy Names anyway in Kali-yuga.
  • The souls of Kali-yuga have innumerable defects and the Lord has invested all His potency in the chanting of the Holy Names.
  • On the two types of aparadhas: intentional (jnata) and unintentional (ajnata) offences.
  • We should emphasise the chanting of the Holy Names.
  • Never criticise any sadhu. Maya is very powerful, criticism is very easy.
  • On the ten nama-aparadhas.
  • Uddhava feeling the pangs of separation from Krsna. Katha on Uddhava and Vidura
  • The different types of faith, lokikhi-sraddha and paramarthika-sraddha.
  • With accumulated sukrti you will have faith in the instructions of the sastras.
  • The leaf of the tree used as an example for the sadhaka’s process: rough side (vaidhi-bhakti), soft side (raganuga-bhakti).
  • Atyantiki-sraddha, unshakable faith.
  • The unshakable faith of Haridasa Thakura.
