hari-katha starts at 00:57:00 – We are on the border between Mathura and Vrndavana. – The distance between Mathura and Vrndavana is only two fingers’ width. – Vrndavana is the land of sweetness, and Mathura, of opulence. – Kamsa sent many demons to Vrndavana, but none of them returned. – After Kamsa had used all the available demons without obtaining a satisfactory result, he lost hope. – Kamsa’s conclusion was that as long as Krsna was in...
Discourses in Hindi 2025
30 Oct 2025 afternoon – Prema-sarovara (English and Hindi) – India
The meaning of prema (transcendental love) is ocean of tears. Love is very important for spiritual life. Krsna has an unbreakable connection with the Vrajavasis, even though He went to Mathura. Why did Krsna go to Mathura, Dvaraka, leave Vrndavana and never return? Use your brain to understand, there are four types of meeting and four types of separation. Krsna’s lila meeting Radha and both delighting in each other’s vision, when a black bumblebee begins to circle Her feet...
30 Oct 2025 afternoon – Uddhava-kyari (Hindi) – India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
About the transcendental madness (divya-unmada) of Srimati Radhika. Srimati Radhika expresses ten types of bhavas at the same time. Description of the surprising and beautiful lila called Bhramara Gita, which is when Radha uses harsh words with the bumblebee. The four weapons to dominate Krsna are: nivaranata, durlabhata, pracchana-kamakata, vamyata. The mood of annoyance (maan/vamyata) is very important for Srimati Radhika. The conversation between Radha and the bumblebee shows how Radha...
30 Oct 2025 midday – Ter-kadamba (Hindi) – India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Ter Kadamba means “calling the cows”. Here, Krsna called the gopis and performed the rasa dance. Here, Rupa Gosvami practiced his bhajana and sadhana. Radha used to cook for Krsna. She would go from Javata to Nandagaon and, on the way, meet Krsna here. Here, Krsna would squirt milk from the cows’ udders onto Srimati Radhika’s face. Funny how Srimati Radhika made a point of passing through Ter Kadamba. She affirmed to Her sakhis that She would indeed pass by there, that...
30 Oct 2025 morning – Kishori-kunda (Hindi) – Vrindavana, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
PART 1 PART 2 Suniyachi Sadhu-mukhe, a beautiful song by Narottama Dasa Thakura praising his master, Lokanatha Dasa Gosvami: prabhu lokanātha kabe saṅge lôiyā ĵā’beśrī rūpera pāda-padme more samarpibe, verse 4. Narottama Dasa Thakura prays that his master will take him to the feet of Rupa Gosvami so that he may attain service at the lotus feet of Srimati Radhika. When one accepts shelter at the lotus feet of the Guru, one must accept the punishments (discipline) that he imposes. It is necessary...
30 Oct 2025 morning – Yavata (Hindi) – India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
This is the place where Krsna decorated Radharani’s feet. This is the location of Radharani’s mother-in-law’s house. Lila about how Radha married Krsna and not Ayan Ghosh. Radha apparently married Ayan Ghosh only to establish parakiya-bhava, the lover’s love. Everyone in madhurya-rasa has a female body. For now we are practicing aropa-siddha-bhakti, imposing elevated moods, but when we reach bhava, we will see the Manjari body of Srila Gurudeva BV Narayana Gosvami...
29 Oct 2025 evening – Raya-Ramananda Samvada (Hindi) – Vrindavana, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
– The love of Srimati Radhika is the crest jewel. – Sadhana and sadhya. – Krishna cannot comprehend Srimati Radhika’s anuraga and the sweetness She experiences; that’s why He incarnates as Gauranga. – The calling of Advaita Acharya brought Krishna into this world more quickly. – The primary and secondary reasons for Krishna’s descent. – Vishakha-devi and Radha share the same mood; this is why Mahaprabhu chose Raya Ramananda. – In some...
