Dhrtarastra listens to Sanjaya’s narrations.
Thirta-bhumi, a place of pilgrimage.
Dhrtarastra’s mental disturbances regarding the social position of his children.
The conditioned soul is attached to the material world (me and mine).
When we understand that what we have does not belong to us and serve Krsna, our mind will become calm and peaceful.
We are neither the doers nor the owners.
The material elements.
The body has 5 doors.
Vastu-sastra.
Ask yourself, “Who am I?”
Try to understand what this body is and what the nature of the soul is. Everything that exists has an inner nature.
This body functions because the soul is within it.
To see transcendental things, one must have transcendental senses.
Attain transcendental vision through the mercy of Krsna and the Guru: tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena sevayā.. (BG 4.34).
Sloka: tṛṇād api sunīcena… (Siksastaka 3).
Krsna tells Radha that even if He served Her lotus feet for several lives of Brahma, He would not be able to repay Her for the service She renders to Him.
Krsna is very humble and tolerant, examples of Krsna with Arjuna and with Sisupal.
Learn about how Krsna is humble and develop this quality in yourself.
