PART 1

PART 2

  • Those who practice devotional service to Lord Sri Krsna with their body, mind, and words.
  • Our goal is to attain a hint of the humor of the cowherd boys of Vraja.
  • The bodily conception is the root of all anarthas.
  • About karma-kanda, jnana-kanda, and bhakti-kanda.
  • There are different types of vairagya (renunciation).
  • We must take care of our body to serve Krsna and, in no way, show others false renunciation.
  • Our body needs to be healthy to awaken to mangala-arati, which is a limb of bhakti.
  • ⁠The best vairagya is called yukta, which means: what the body needs, we must accept.
  • Siddha-bhaktas feel no disturbances or worldly happiness, for they are always absorbed in the service of the Lord.
  • All the trees of Vrndavana are eternal associates of Sri Krsna and witnesses to the lilas of Radha and Krsna.
  • Our anarthas are not removed all at once; by chanting the Holy Names, our sins will be progressively destroyed.
  • About the stages and percentages of removal of anarthas from the heart.
  • We should never commit any kind of Vaisnava-aparadha, for even the smell, even a trace, of this offense can cause us to fall into Maya and lose all our bhakti.
  • Bharata Maharaja reached the stage of bhava and yet remained attached to a deer.
  • The body we will obtain in the next life depends on what we are thinking at the time of our death.
  • ⁠Whoever remembers Krsna at the time of death will reach His abode.
  • The best time to practice sadhana and bhajana is at the end of our lives, but when will our end come? So, practice from now on.
  • Differences between sadhakas and siddha-bhaktas.
