Do not eat garlic and onions, they are like meat. Katha has to touch the heart, otherwise you will forget. The boy who does not speak harikatha does not benefit anyone. Klesaghni and subhada. Reaction of karma: story of a company manager and the customer who slaps him. Manabhasa is when one chants the Holy Names without sins but does not yet have a relationship with God.

Krsna does not understand what kind of prema Radha has in Her heart. Krsna stands where the pure devotees are speaking harikatha about the lilas of Vrndavana.

18 Sep 2024 evening – From Attachment to Freedom (Hindi) | Brisbane, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
An unfortunate day from a material and transcendental point of view. Maya does not hold us, it creates the illusion that it does. Tulasi dasa gives the example of a monkey holding a potato in a jar and a bird holding a wheel. Shloka: daivī hyeṣhā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā… (BG 7.14). Shloka: ‘śraddhā’-śabde – viśvāsa kahe sudṛḍha niścay… (CC Madhya 22.62). The spiritual steps up to prema: shraddha, sadhu-sanga, bhajana-kriya, anartha-nivritti, nishtha, ruchi, asakti...

18 Sep 2024 morning – The Gopis Search for Krishna (Hindi) | Brisbane, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Opposite bhavas of Krishna and Radha: While Krishna is in vamya-bhava, Radharani is in dakshina-bhava. Radhika’s love increases and increases. Vamyata and kutilata.

Why did Krishna not come back to the gopis after...
