13 July 2025 morning – The Auspiciousness of Chanting the Holy Names (English) | Texas, USA

* About Vrajendra-nandana Syamasundara.
* The Supersoul resides in the heart, and His duty is to witness all one’s actions.
* Srila Gurudeva recounts the katha of Prithvi Devi (Mother Earth) when the demons were causing trouble on Prithvi-loka (Planet Earth). She went to ask Visnu for help, and He said that Vajendra-nanda Syamasundara would appear in the material world.
* About the left-wing and right-wing moods of the gopis.
* The Lord’s internal and external motive for appearing to kill the demons who cause trouble for the sadhus.
* ⁠The Lord is nama, vigraha, and svarupa, but the best of the three is nama, for the Lord has invested all His potency in the Holy Names.
* Verse that highlights the ultimate auspiciousness of chanting the Holy Names: madhura-madhuram etan maṅgalaṁ maṅgalānāṁ… (Skanda Purāṇa).
* When chanting the Holy Names, we are meeting directly with the Lord.
* The Lord is always with us. We are never alone!
* While vigraha, the Lord accepts whatever you give, for He is accepting your mood.
* The vigraha will not say anything because it is the embodiment of mauna/silence.
* Always remember Bhojana Janardana when honoring prasada, and Padmanabha when going to sleep.
