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.
