The nature of money. Love with a cause and love without a cause. The gopis’ question to Uddhava. Gurudeva’s footprints in the sand on the beach. Ramacandra is maryada-purusottama, Krsna is lila-purusottama, and Caitanya Mahaprabhu is prema-purusottama. One must understand...

The katha of Srimad-Bhagavatam begun by Vyasadeva continues to be disseminated through the Guru Parampara. The six questions the Rsis asked Suta Gosvami. The essence of all the Vedas is in Srimad-Bhagavatam. Without Radha, Krsna is incomplete. There is no difference between potency and the possessor of potency. The Srimad-Bhagavatam is the supreme scripture that expresses and reveals prema. There are earlier stages of prema, like Vaikuntha and Dvaraka. On who is the original Lord, the source of...

03 Aug 2023 midday – Guru-tattva (English translation) – Bangalore, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
A kalpa-vrksa (desire tree) is not as auspicious as satisfying our Gurudeva through our sadhana. Fourth verse of the Guruastakam: chatur-vidha-sri-bhagavat-prasadasvadv-anna-triptan hari-bhakta-sanghan… Sloka: harau guste gurustatra gurau ruste na kascana… The difference between the nectar offered by Sukadeva Gosvami and the nectar drunk by the demigods. The beautiful song: Tava Kathamrta Tapta Jivanam (Gopi Gita). The Bhagavad-katha is a nectar drunk through the ears. The nectar of the...

About lobha-mayi-bhakti. Greed is the cause of greed. Greed depends on past life impressions. Prema-bhakti does not come from sukrti, it comes from the heart of a rasik-vaisnava due to the sincere greed of the sadhaka.

First one should take diksa, accept the instructions of the Master, reside in Vraja physically or mentally, and then be absorbed in its spiritual form to serve the Divine Couple. Aropa means...
