06 Dec 2025 evening – Chanting the Holy Names Is Everything (English) – Santos, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

– Meaning of the name Jay Govinda: Jay means all glories and also victory, and Govinda is He who gives pleasure to all living entities.
– Glorification to the beloved devotee Jay Govinda Dasa Prabhu Brahmacari who left his body on December 1, 2025.
– The conditioned soul does not have spontaneous love for Guru and Krishna.
– Glorifying the Vaishnavas is very important!
– Importance of guru-nistha and guru-bhakti.
– Sloka: harer nāma harer nāma… (CC Madhya 6.242).
– He who has guru-nistha and guru-bhakti is free from all kinds of suffering.
– Example of the tigress carrying her cub in her teeth and killing animals with those same teeth.
– The conditioned soul cannot understand this philosophy, of how outwardly the pure devotee seems to suffer, but inwardly is very happy.
– Whoever chants the Holy Names becomes free from all kinds of suffering, and self-realization (atmanubhuti) happens naturally.
– In Kali-yuga there is no other process to reach the Lord.
– The essence of all Scriptures is chanting the Holy Names of God.
