06 July 2025 midday – The Importance of Following the Rules and Regulations (English) | Miami, USA | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

PART 1

  • We must follow the rules of Caturmasya to develop our spiritual life.
  • Caturmasya means “how to emphasize the chanting of the Holy Names.”
  • Without chanting the Holy Names, there is no benefit, even if we follow the rules and regulations.
  • Those who do not follow the rules and regulations and think: “I am focused on God,” render their sadhana and bhajana useless.
  • If we are unable to perform nirjala-ekadasi, we are allowed to honor prasada, but only enough to keep the body well.
  • Just as the sun never ceases to exist, Vaisnavas are always with us.
  • Without glorifying Guru and Vaisnavas, our tongue will never be purified.
  • Those who speak worldly katha have a shortened lifespan; Maya Devi catches them.
  • Even if we don’t have a taste for Harikatha, we should listen, because that way it’s 100% guaranteed that Maya Devi won’t catch us.
  • The diksa guru’s duty is to offer the disciple at the feet of Rupa Manjari.
