The prema in the heart of the sadhu is reflected in the heart of the disciple who has no offences. The example of the stone reflecting the brightness of the sun, surya kant mani. The cleaner the heart, the more the bhava of the sadhu will be reflected in it. About a lila from the Venu Gita, when the gopis suffered separation from Krsna. On the logic of economic policy. The prema in the hearts of the queens of Dvaraka. Both the aroma of camphor in a small container and a lighted ghee lamp can be...

13 Oct 2023 evening – The Meaning of Human Life is Sadhu Sanga (English translation) – Toowoomba, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Human life is very rare. Believe it or not, we went through 8 million and 400 thousand life forms until we got a human body. We forget everything and become absorbed in eating, sleeping, getting married/having children, and defending ourselves, for fear of death. God gives us mercy and grants us the meeting with the sadhu (sage). The association of the sadhu means sadhu-sanga. If we sit in front of the sadhu, we will hear his teachings and we will be able to discern right from wrong. Try to...

13 Oct 2023 morning – The Two Types of Gopis (Hindi) – Brisbane, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Krsna tells the sadhana-siddha-gopis about the pastime of the man who planted mangoes. Krsna savors the condensed prema of the gopis, which He makes manifest and mature through the fire of separation. The gopis ask Krsna: “and what do we gain?”, and He responds: “more bliss in separation?” Krsna is the personification of rasa. He creates and savors. The gopis again ask Krsna: “What do you gain from seeing us suffering?, “the sweetness condensed by separation”. Krsna was married in Dvaraka and...

12 Oct 2023 evening – The Power of the Holy Names (English translation) – Brisbane, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
According to past karma, we live the results of that karma in the present life. Without knowing the difference between sin and piety, people misuse money, for example, with alcoholic drinks, and thus suffer the reactions of their actions. The Bhagavad Gita says that birth, death, decay of the body and sickness are inevitable. But we always forget the sufferings of birth and death. Story of Gajendra. Why does everyone honour Hanuman? How Nal and Nil and the monkeys built the bridge to Lord Rama...
