03 Oct 2025 evening – Only Mahaprabhu Bestows Prema-bhakti (English) | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

– Ekadasi is one of the 64 limbs of bhakti, which is very powerful, and a tithi (lunar day) that is very dear to Krsna. – If we observe Ekadasi, Bhakti Devi, just like a mother giving birth to a baby, will manifest in our hearts. – Lord Visnu Himself manifests in the form of Ekadasi. – The perfect way to observe ekadasi, as described in the scriptures, is to eat only once the day before the tithi, refrain from worldly conversations, and spend the night awake, chanting the Holy Names. – Our prayers should be focused on Sacinandana Gourahari, and under His guidance, we practice sadhana and bhajana. – About the story of King Rukmangada. – As was customary in the time of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, we should apply sandalwood to our foreheads. – Bhakti will manifest when we have simple faith, which consists of carrying out the Guru’s instructions without argument. – We must emphasize and vow not to look at the faults of others or criticize them, otherwise no benefit will come. – Only Baladeva Prabhu, as well as Nityananda Prabhu, can purify people’s hearts. – Srila Gurudeva tells of leaving home and hearing Srila Bhakti Raksaka Sridhara Dev-Gosvami Maharaja chanting the names of Goura, when he went to live at the Devananda Gaudiya Matha. – One who worships Navadvipa Dhama easily attains Vrndavana Dhama. – In this Age of Kali, only Caitanya grants prema-bhakti. – We must worship Radha and Krsna under the guidance of Goura Hari.
