17/09/24 morning walk – Good behaviour & Vaisnava Sadacara (Hindi) | Brisbane, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
- The qualities of the Lord as His divine forms of Krishna and Ramachandra. He is atmarama and aptakama.
- The Lord teaches by example and shows us we need to show evidence to help increase faith in others.
- Effects of Lord Ramachandra’s mood of maryada on His family and His citizens.
- Discussion of cause and effect.
- The importance of the role of women in society.
- Rules of marriage in society, and the prevalent disturbances in the age of Kali.
- How the actions of exalted personalities like Raya Ramananda and Gangamata Gosvamini can help teach us to live a renounced life.
- The golden key of sympathy, empathy and compassion. The door is always open. Brahma-jnani’s do not possess this.
- We are to decide what is good for us and, if we make the decision to marry, then the suffering incurred is our own fault.
- Examples in the harikatha of Janaka Maharaja sitting in the assembly with his wife, and Lord Ramachandra and Sita Devi going to Valmiki Rsi’s ashram.
- Duty of the king is to take care of his citizens, like the qualities of a sannyasi.
