2023, Discourses Translated into English 2023, Bhavnagar 2023, Gujarat 2023, India 2023, karma: cycle of birth and death
08 Dec 2023 evening – Remembering Krsna at the Time of Death (English translation) – Bhavanagar, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Following the ekadasi fast is like executing all other vows. Ekadasi is Bhagavat-svarupa. The difference between human beings and animals lies in the possibility (and impossibility) of doing bhajana. By associating with the sadhu, the cycle of birth and death ceases. The body is like a house where the tenant lives. The contract is over, you have to leave.

08 Dec 2023 afternoon – Leaving the Body While Singing the Holy Names (English translation) – Bhavanagar, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Krsna is the Supreme Enjoyer, Purusa, but the conditioned soul in the gross and subtle body thinks that he is the enjoyer. Pastime of Bharata Maharaja, in which, due to attachment, he is born as a deer. Tulasi Dasa explains that the human body exists to do bhajana to the Lord. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krsna says that a person’s thoughts at the time of death define his body in the next life. Whoever does bhajana is not deceived by happiness, sadness, birth and death, because he knows that...
