06 Sep 2026 morning – The Importance of Listening to Harikatha (English) – Hong Kong | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

* Love is very important in our spiritual life.

* The gopis have so much love and affection for Krishna that He belongs to them.

* Pariksit Maharaja asks: “What pious activity did Mother Yashoda perform to have Krishna as her son?”

* Krishna Himself glorifies the gopis because His mind is intoxicated with the lover’s love and affection of the gopis.

* It is especially when the gopis manifest their left-handed (contrariness) mood that Krishna becomes intoxicated with joy and sells Himself to them.

* The most exalted mood is only manifested in the hearts of the vrajavasis.

* We should listen to Krishna’s katha in Vraja because, in this way, we will become absorbed in Krishna. 

* ⁠In this material world, everyone is suffering the three miseries of Maya, but those who hear krsna-katha have their suffering destroyed.

* Lord Kapiladeva instructs His mother Devahuti to always associate with a high-ranking sadhu and hear Harikatha from their lotus lips.

* If we hear katha from the lotus lips of a trustworthy sadhu, we will attain, step by step, devotional service to the Lord.

* Without hearing Harikatha, it is not possible for suddha-bhakti to manifest in our hearts.
