25 Dec 2025 evening – Christmas (English) – Cuernavaca, Mexico | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

– We are celebrating the appearance day of the Lord Jesus Christ. Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Jesus Christ is His son.
– The jiva will never be God; the duty of the jiva is to serve God.
– Jesus Christ went to many sacred places in India, met many philosophers there, and then began his preaching.
– Sraddha (faith): accept what is favorable to bhakti and reject what is unfavorable.
– Nourish yourself with foods of the quality of goodness (sattva-guna).
– Many demons are learned, intelligent academics, just like Ravana; these are not devotees.
– Knowledge doesn’t matter so much; what’s fundamental is faith in the Guru’s instructions and the scriptures.
– Beware of the tendency to deceive; it’s only possible to see Krishna in the stages of bhava and prema, when the heart is completely clean and purified.
– About sandhini, samvit, and hladini.
– Story of the disciple who had faith in his guru.
– It’s very difficult to remove anarthas; read the story of Dhruva Maharaja repeatedly.
– Don’t listen to Harikatha from non-Vaisnavas, as your mind will be disturbed.
– Mahaprabhu and His two instructions: Vaishnava-seva and namasankirtana.
– Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that when Guru and Vaishnavas come to your house, your house becomes Goloka Vrndavana: Suddha Bhakata Carana Renu.
– Keep your house clean, free from meat of any animal, eggs, etc., follow the four principles, chant the Holy Names, practice sadhana, and serve the Vaishnavas; thus, your mind and house will become Goloka Vrndavana. Don’t miss this opportunity in this life!
– Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and Shiva is His servant.
