10 Dec 2025 morning – A Seed of Bhakti (English) – Bogota, Colombia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • Sadhu-sanga is very important.
  • The 5 types of manifestation of consciousness: acchadita-chetana, sankuchita-chetana, mukulita-chetana, vikasita-chetana and purna-vikasita-chetana.
  • Feeling, willing and knowing are the three characteristics of a conscious being.
  • Devatas are those who have faith in God, while asuras are those who do not.
  • To devotees: You are now a vikasita-chetana. However, your goal should be to become a purna-vikasita-chetana.
  • Verse: brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva guru-kṛṣṇa-kṛpāya pāya bhakti-latā-bīja…(CC Madhya 19.151).
  • Gopala-mantra is your bhakti lata-bija. Listen to hari-katha every day to grow your bhakti lata-bija, the seed of bhakti.
  • Verse: saṅkhyā-pūrvaka-nāma-gāna-natibhiḥ kālāvasānī-kṛtau…(Shad-gosvami-ashtaka 6).
  • I am happy to see you all wearing tilaka. Always make sure your clothes are clean.
  • Spiritual life means spiritual dress. Even doctors, schoolchildren and soldiers wear uniforms.
  • Do not take intoxicants.
  • You are the owner of your body, not the body itself.
