Caitanya Mahaprabhu speaks to Sanatana Gosvami about the forms and potencies of Vrajendra-nandana. Krsna manifests in three different forms for the devotees: Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan. Two types of devotees: aisvarya-marga and bhakti-marga. What’s the use of having eyes if you can’t have Govinda’s darsana? Funny lila of Krsna sending Garuda to call Hanuman.

June 15, 2023 12:30 PM

In Kali-yuga it is not possible to see the demigods in the fire sacrifice. The only method of self-realisation is the chanting of the holy names. About the problem of chanting mantras with wrong pronunciation, which led to the appearance of Vritrasura. In Kali-yuga there are many compromises. God accepts your mood, your sincere feelings at the time of offering.-Indradyumna Maharaja, his wife Gundica on the day of the fire ceremony, and her caste queen Abhimana. Gundica throws her nose ring into...

Jnanis want to merge with Brahman’s effulgence, and yogis want to merge with Paramatma. But devotees want to relate to Bhagavan. There are devotees who are inclined towards aisvarya and those who are inclined towards madhurya. The Vrajavasis do not believe that Krishna is Bhagavan. Devaki and Vasudeva see Krsna as Bhagavan. Nanda and Yasoda see Krsna only as their beloved son.-The Lord is one, but He has innumerable powers. About Vyasadeva and Ganesha. Sanskrit words have many synonyms...

April 15, 2023 6:58 PM

Worldly people want kama (pleasure), artha (economic development) and dharma (religion). Some want to merge with Brahman (the effulgence of the Lord’s body).

Five types of liberation:1- Sarsti: to reach opulences equal to those of the Lord.2- Sarupya: to have a form like the Lord.3- Samipya: to live as a personal associate of the Lord.4- Salokya: To live on a Vaikuṇṭha planet.5- Sayujya: To...
