August 28, 2024 12:21 PM

Srila BV Svami Maharaja was asked why he called his society a name ISKCON. Shloka: jīvera ‘svarūpa’ haya (CC Madhya 20.108). Krishna is very happy when you celebrate His birthday and He is ready to fulfil all your wishes. Shloka: prema-rasa-niryāsa karite āsvādana (CC Ādi 4.15). – Krishna wants to relish the essence of prema from the hearts of the vraja-gopis and He wants to preach raga-marga bhakti. Ragatmika-janas (parikara-tattva) and raganuga-janas (jiva-tattva). Shloka: anugrahāya...

August 27, 2024 9:06 AM

PART 1 Krishna is ananda-kanda, full of bliss. Sri Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja Prabhupada early years katha. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura’s instructions to his disciples including Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja. If we receive the mercy of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He will take all of our material desires away. Pastimes from Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja’s realisation that his family are not favourable to Krishna Consciousness to his taking sannyasa. His early preaching...

August 26, 2024 6:11 PM

The difference between Avirbhava (appearance) and Janma-lila (birth). Reasons for Krsna’s appearance and birth. Krsna’s eternal associates are ragatmika, that is, they have spontaneous love and affection for Krsna, and are always absorbed in His mood. Song: Sad Gosvami Astakam. Krsna distributed prema only to His associates, but Mahaprabhu distributed it to everyone. Verse: anugrahāya bhaktānāṁ mānuṣaṁ deham āsthitaḥ… (Srimad Bhagavatam 10.33.36). Song: Sri Damodara Astakam. By hearing this...

August 26, 2024 8:09 AM

Srila Narayana Gosvami Maharaja directly instructed Srila Gurudeva Vana Gosvami Maharaja to go to Western countries to preach Krsna Consciousness in 1997. Those who have nistha, firm faith in the Guru’s Lotus Feet, can conquer everything. Song: Sri Guru Carana Padma. Our only hope should be to fulfill Sri Guru’s desire. ⁠Mantra: dhyana mulam gurur murti puja mulam gurur padam… (Guru Gita: Skanda Purana – dialogue between Siva and Uma/Parvati). Bhakti completely depends on the disciple’s...

15 Aug 2024 airport – Preaching is very important (English) | London, United Kingdom | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

August 15, 2024 2:41 PM

Question: People don’t know anything about yoga… Answer: When you preach, people will start coming. Question: Sometimes we spend a lot of money and effort and the result is insignificant… Answer: Don’t consider aiming at the result, that is not bhakti! You should just do your duty, Krsna says so in the Bhagavad Gita. Karmis aim at their own benefit, bhaktas don’t! Jnanis want to detach themselves with the help of knowledge and merge into the brahman effulgence (brahma...

14 Aug 2024 evening – Guru-vakhya (English) | London, United Kingdom | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

August 14, 2024 6:47 PM

I am only speaking Srila Gurudeva’s katha. What Gurudeva says is the absolute truth. Material and transcendental sounds. Krishna enters our ears and purifies our hearts through hari-katha. Shloka: ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇaṁ (Śrī Śikṣāṣṭaka (1)) Srila Rupa Gosvami fulfilled all the wishes of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu gave Haridasa the title of Nama Acharya. Shloka: harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam (CC Adi 17.21). Without reading...

14 Aug 2024 midday – Sri Rupa Gosvami Fulfilled All Mahaprabhu’s Desires (English) | London, United Kingdom | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

August 14, 2024 12:44 PM

Travelling means trouble. Our best doctors are Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda Prabhu. In Kali-yuga, all living entities are contaminated by maya. 6 types of people do not want to take vraja-prema from Mahaprabhu, but He gives it to them anyway. Srimati Radhika, as a village girl, wants to hear hari-katha from Sanatana Gosvami and Rupa Gosvami. Rupa Gosvami surrendered completely to Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and fulfilled all His desires. Jayadeva Gosvami could not write the verse...
