03 Oct 2024 evening – Meeting and Separation (English) | Perth, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • What is a bad day? The day we do not hear Harikatha!
  • ⁠A good day is the day when we associate with the sadhu to hear Harikatha.
  • ⁠Yoga (meeting), viyoga (separation).
  • ⁠Radha is purna-sakti. Sakti and saktiman.
  • ⁠Gross body, subtle body and soul body.
  • ⁠Lila of Siva (Sankaracarya) entering the body of a king.
  • ⁠Yogis can separate the subtle body from the gross body.
  • ⁠Devotees can separate the soul from the subtle and gross bodies.
  • ⁠The Bhagavad Gita talks about each yoga: karma-yoga, bhakti-yoga, jnana-yoga. Bhakti is in the middle because it is confidential.
  • With bhakti there is no loss or diminution!
  • Bhakti means to serve! It means to destroy all undesirable things like lust and anger.
  • Krsna says that whoever surrenders to Him will be purified: na mayy āveśita-dhiyāṁ… (SB 1330.22.26).
  • Sloka: yā dohane ’vahanane mathanopalepa… (SB 10.44.15), always remember Krsna, just as the women of Vraja do.
  • People who have a lot of knowledge have a lot of difficulty understanding the Absolute because they question everything.
  • ⁠It is impossible to know God through logic.
  • Separation fosters encounter.
  • Sloka: gacchoddhava vrajaṁ saumya… (SB 10.46.3), Krsna sends Uddhava to Vrndavana to console His devotees.
