24 May 2025 midday – Service to Krsna with Greed and Spontaneous Devotion (English) | Paris, France | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • The materialistic pursuit of karmis and the empty knowledge of jnanis.
  • Sloka: krsna-bhakti-janma-mula haya sadhu-sanga… (CC Madhya 22.83).
  • Devotees are like cuckoo birds in the mango forest, always chanting the Holy Names with spontaneous devotion.
  • Life is useless without bhajana and sadhana.
  • Sloka: vaco vegam manasah krodha-vegam… (Upadesamrta verse 1).
  • The process of Bhakti begins with vaidhi-sraddha (initial faith) and gradually evolves into raganuga-bhakti (greed).
  • Rupa Gosvami instructs to chant the sweet Names of the Lord in connection with Govinda’s lilas (madhurya-lila).
  • Who are the real vrajavasis? Those who are absorbed in the mood of Nanda, Yasoda, Radha and the gopis.
  • You should hear Vraja-katha from those whose hearts are full of Vraja-rasa.
