14 Nov 2024 – Lohavana (Hindi) | Vrindavana, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Krsna killed the asura named Lohavasura.
The Bhagavatam says that Krsna returned to Vrndavana after killing Lohavasura and Dantavakra.
In the time of Krsna this place was beautiful, the Yamuna flowed through here and the gopis also came.
Funny lila of Krsna acting as a boatman and crossing the Yamuna by rocking the boat with the gopis inside.
Krsna performs divine pastimes on an island that emerges from nowhere in the middle of the Yamuna.
Gopinatha, what a beautiful song!

14 Nov 2024 – Dauji Temple (Bengali) | Vrindavana, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Today is the last day of parikrama. Bengalis eat bitter things at the beginning of the meal, this is good for health. We should pray for the mercy of Balarama. About the 8th verse of Siksastaka: the mercy of the Guru is as important as that of Krsna. If we do not chant the Guru-mantra we will not achieve any real qualification. Baladeva is akanda-guru-tattva, we need His mercy. Baladeva presides over sat, Krsna presides over cit, and Radha presides over ananda. Baladeva stayed in the womb...
