08 May 2026 midday – Raya-Ramananda samvada (English) – Igualada, Spain | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

– Story: two brothers doing bhajana in Radha-kunda for 50 years and then one of them is rejected by Radharani after he got stamp of Rukmini in Rukmini temple.
– Those who follow the rules and regulations of varnasrama-dharma are qualified to enter bhakti.
– Daiva-varnasrama-dharma consists of the position we occupy according to our natural inclinations.
– If we follow varnasrama-dharma, we will obtain mystical powers.
– Merely following varna and asrama without realizing spiritual life is useless.
– Mahaprabhu told Raya Ramananda to always cite the Scriptures when proclaiming a truth.
– Listening to Harikatha is the water of kirtan that waters our seed of bhakti.
– Sudipta Mahabhava manifests only in the heart of Srimati Radhika.
– There’s no way to say that Krsna-lila has ended; the three lilas are happening simultaneously in Dvaraka, Mathura, and Vrndavana.
– Uddhava went to Vraja and witnessed Sri Radha’s transcendental madness.
– Krsna and Radha can never separate, just like fire and the heat of fire.
– During the rasa dance, Krsna feels as if He is in the middle of the ocean near a whirlpool with fifteen-meter waves, and for this reason, he holds onto the shoulders of the gopis.
– Even Kamadeva faints upon encountering the gopis’ extremely high mood of love.
– Krsna did not marry any queen in Mathura; He only married the queens in Dvaraka.
– Self-realization resides in the feeling of longing and separation.
– Regarding maha-bhava.
– Uddhava’s service nature is to serve in Mathura; for this reason, he cannot remain in Vraja.
– Rukmini and Candravali.
– Before beginning our sadhana and bhajana, we must accept one of the five relationship moods (bhava-mayi-sadhana).
– The gopala mantra reveals our relationship mood after we have eliminated most of our anarthas.
– On the five categories of raganuga-bhakti.
