26 Aug 2024 evening – Krishna Janmastami and Dhanya Kali Yuga (English) | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • The difference between Avirbhava (appearance) and Janma-lila (birth).
  • Reasons for Krsna’s appearance and birth.
  • Krsna’s eternal associates are ragatmika, that is, they have spontaneous love and affection for Krsna, and are always absorbed in His mood.
  • Song: Sad Gosvami Astakam.
  • Krsna distributed prema only to His associates, but Mahaprabhu distributed it to everyone.
  • Verse: anugrahāya bhaktānāṁ mānuṣaṁ deham āsthitaḥ… (Srimad Bhagavatam 10.33.36).
  • Song: Sri Damodara Astakam.
  • By hearing this Krsna-lila katha with faith from the mouth of the sadhu, Vraja-prema manifests in the heart and at the same time all anarthas are destroyed.
  • The types of rasa and their subdivisions.
  • Krsna appears once in every day of Brahma, at the end of the respective Dvapara Yuga.
  • Verse: anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau… (CC Adi-lila 1.4).
  • Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always with us in the form of the Holy Names, vigraha and svarupa.
  • ⁠This age of Kali is very fortunate due to the coming of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, hence it is called Dhanya Kali-yuga.
  • All living entities will be liberated by chanting the Holy Names.
