Without Guru’s mercy, we cannot understand anything. A mother’s tolerance is superior in this material world. One cannot hide a sin, just as one cannot dry up the ocean. It is impossible to repay the debt to one’s mother, but if we surrender to Govinda, that debt ends. On the ten types of nama-aparadha. On the seven types of mother and the five types of father.

10 May 2026 midday – Material Love and Divine Love (English) – Manresa, Spain | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Yoga means union, when two substances mix. It is not possible to achieve this union with only one substance. Where can we obtain divine love? We can obtain it through the heart of the sadhu. Without love, our life is useless. In this material world, love is temporary and will eventually be destroyed. If we have love for God, we can reach Him. When love exists, those elements are close and they do not want to separate. Within the mantra we have acintya-sakti, the inconceivable potency, a...

03 May 2026 evening – Guru and Krishna Are Always With Us (English) – Kaunas, Lithuania | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
It is only with this human body that we can perform devotional service to the Supreme Lord. The human body is very rare because it is only after 8,400,000 species that we manage to obtain it. In this age of Kali, it is not possible to reach the Lord by anything other than chanting the Holy Names of the Lord: “harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam…” (Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi-līlā 7.76). The six activities of sandhu-sanga: “dadāti pratigṛhṇāti guhyam ākhyāti pṛcchati…” (Verse 4...

19 Apr 2026 evening – Bhagavat-tattva (English) – Bordeaux, France | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Impersonalists call God Brahman, which is actually His effulgence. Those who believe in the philosophy of Paramatma speak of the Supersoul that resides in the heart of all living entities. The soul will have the same size, regardless of the body, whether it is an ant or an elephant. He who has six opulences is called Bhagavan. God has many names. We can call Him Brahman, Bhagavan, or Paramatma. Hari is the one who destroys all unhappiness, and Rama is the one who is always playing in the hearts...
