The Balabhadra Stotra Kavaca prayers to Baladeva Prabhu offered from the book Garga-samhita (Canto 8, Chapter 12, Verses 4-13)
Description of Baladeva Prabhu’s names, qualities, functions and personality.
Katha of Baladeva Prabhu killing Denakasura, the demon donkey in Talavana.
God is the Supreme Enjoyer and everything in this world belongs to Him.
The role of demons.
The purport as to why the donkey-like demon was killed.
Story of how a donkey was tied without a rope.
How the samskaras of many many lives develop our habits in this life at every moment.
It is an illusion that we are bound here by maya.
How the jivas act like the monkey who tries to pull the potato from the pot and the parrot who grabs the wheel, believing the wheel has grabbed him.
We have no relationship with anyone in this world.
The nature of the soul is to do the bhajan of God. Maya cannot touch the soul and has no relationship with it.
The two functions of Maya Devi.
The soul only has a relationship with God, all material temporary illusions are useless, we have to come out of this darkness, but it is not easy.
Example from the katha of the man, who had the desire to do bhajan but had the responsibility to bring his child up after his wife died.
God is the maintainer of everyone, He has assigned everything to us, it is predestined. It is only our false ego that makes us believe we are the doers.
Katha of the man who is told he will not eat today by an old lady. It is written on our forehead whether we eat or not, this is God’s desire.
We only get what was done in our past lives, so the purport is that we should surrender to God, this is very important.
The benefits of singing the beautiful prayer to Baladeva Parbhu early morning.
