31 July 2025 evening – The Human Body and the Service to the Lord (English) | Brighton, UK

The human body is very rare to attain.
– Scripture specifies the number of material bodies that exist among the 8,400,000 species of life. Sloka: jalajā nava-lakṣāṇi sthāvarā lakṣa-viṁśati…(Visnu Purana in CC Madhya-lila 19.138).
– The human being was created in the image of the Supreme Lord.
– Meaning of the word “body”: birth, old age, disease, Yamaraja (the lord of death).
– Ajamila, his son Narayana, the Yamadutas, the Visnudutas, and the power of the Holy Names.
– Sloka defining the position of the jiva in relation to God: mamaivāṁśo jīva-loke… (BG 15.7).
– Funny story of the miserly man and his imaginary service to Thakuraji. Don’t do that!
– Chant the Holy Names and serve the Lord.
