28 May 2025 evening – How to clean our heart (English) | Mirepoux, France | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

– If you dance in front of Thakuraji, Maya-devi will leave you alone. If you do not dance in front of Them, however, Maya-devi will make you dance in front of her instead.
– Even spending a moment in the association of a sadhu is very powerful.
– Our aim is to attain vraja-prema.
– When a sadhaka attains prema, his soul is divided into two. One part serves in gaura-lila and the other in krishna-lila.
– Vipralabha has four types: purvaraga, mana, pravasa and prema-vaicittya. The four types of sambhoga are sankipta, sankirna, sampurna and samriddhi-mana.
– Verse: na vinā vipralambhena sambhogaḥ puṣṭim aśnute… (Ujjvala-nilamani 15.3).
– If you listen to hari-katha, your heart will be cleansed and you will develop a desire to serve Krishna.
– Avaranatmika-vritti and vikshepatmika-vritti of maya.
– Sthula-sharira, sukshma-sharira, mana, buddhi, ahankara, chitta and atma-sharira.
– Sattva, raja and tama-guna are the three gunas with which Maya-devi binds us.
– How to cleanse the heart: ‘naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā…’ (SB 1.2.18).
– Siddha-pranali by Mahaprabhu: ‘tṛṇād api sunīcena taror iva sahisṇuṇā…’ (Shikshāstaka 3).
– The beauty of Thakuraji: gaite govinda-nām upajilo bhāva-grām, dekilām jamunāra-kūle (Gaite Govinda-nām, verse 1).
