– The innermost portion of spiritual love is sraddha (spiritual faith).
– Our goal is to attain prema (divine love).
– God is the embodiment of divine love, and we are parts of God that contain this power of love in our hearts.
– Our minds and hearts are contaminated by Maya-devi because we have forgotten Krishna and the true nature of the soul, which is to love one another.
– The jivas have turned to Maya (the material world), and for this reason, they have forgotten to serve Krishna.
– By forgetting Krishna, Maya gives us two bodies: gross and subtle, and thus we become completely absorbed in bodily identification.
– Only in sadhu-sanga can we know our true identity: eternal servants of Krishna. The verse that reveals this: jīvera svarūpa haya kṛṣṇera nitya-dāsa… (CC Madhya 20.108).
– The appearance (avirbhava) and birth (janma) events are happening together; each devotee will perceive them differently according to their mood.
– Krishna was born (janma) from the womb of Mother Yasoda. Krishna appeared in the chain of Kamsa (avirbhava).
– The reasons why Krishna descended to this material world.
– Everyone is longing for Radha-krpa, but this mercy is very rare, and to receive it, we must first pray repeatedly to Gurudeva.
– Mangala means good omens, and without good omens, we cannot purify our hearts.
– The importance of participating in Mangala Arati for spiritual progress.
