14 Sept 2025 midday – Bodily Conception Is the Root of Mental Disturbance (English) | Christchurch, New Zealand | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
- Once a year, Lord Jagannatha comes out of His Temple and grants His darsana to all the fallen souls.
- The minds of the gopis become very disturbed when Krsna goes out to herd, for they cannot tolerate separation from Him.
- Sneha means love and affection.
- In Kali-yuga, the conditioned soul has a disturbed mind, fighting within itself or with others because of its bodily conception (dehātmā-buddhiḥ).
- The thought of being this body and the supreme enjoyer is what disturbs our mind.
- The moment we realize the conception that we are servants of Krsna, all quarrels and arguments will end.
- Our duty is to serve Krsna (krsna-seva).
- The gopis fight with their minds to satisfy Krsna, but we fight to satisfy our senses.
- On the various higher stages of prema.
- Mahaprabhu expressed the feeling that a lover and beloved experience when they meet after a long separation.
- When Krsna leaves Vrndavana for Mathura and Dvaraka, He leaves two things: His peacock feather and His flute.
- Externally, the gopis are weeping, but internally, they are feeling great happiness; this is transcendental love.
