06 Oct 2023 morning walk – Supreme Conception of Rasa-vicara: Krsna Serves Radha (English) – Murwillumbah, Australia
Svarupa-shakti is an internal power of Krsna, the highest, without it Krsna does nothing. Hladini-sakti is a potency of bliss of Srimati Radhika. Samvit is a powerhouse of transcendental knowledge of Baladeva Prabhu. Meaning of bhava-bhakti. When the heart is crystal clear, it will become soft and enjoy hearing hari-katha. Whoever does not have a taste for hari-karta and harinama is like an animal, and everything he does is useless. Karma, jnana and tapasya are just ingredients of the spiritual...

01 Jul 2023 morning – The Difference Between Vaishnava Vyasa Puja and Sankaracarya Sampradaya Vyasa Puja (English) – Helsinki, Finland | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
The mayavadis/advaitavadis do not follow the instructions of Vyasadeva, they just worship their form. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada explained that one should follow the instructions of the guru and then perform guru puja.-Vyasadeva has given many proofs of God’s potencies and form. The Mayavadis say that the form of the Lord is temporary, and therefore they commit an offence against the Lord. The form of the Lord is sac-cid-ananda-vigraha, eternal, transcendental, and blissful...

03 Jun 2023 morning – The Meaning and Mood of Gaura Arati (English) – Santos, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Every day Sri Caitanya worshipped the river Ganges, Ganga-devi. The moods of krsna-lila are also manifested in gaura-lila.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was manifesting Srimati Radhika’s mood of separation. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura expressed the mood of servitude to Srimati Radhika under the guidance of Ananga Manjari in his song. Without...

PART 1 Question: Should we take part in war? Participation in war is karma-marga. Those who have sukriti do not participate. Better do bhajana and sadhana. Question: Is it normal for a devotee to begin by worshipping the deity and then stop worshipping the deity and start chanting the holy names? Question: Is it true that only pure devotees can install deities? On protection of cows. You have no right to inflict pain on any living being. Even if the cow has been mistreated by someone else...
