Before asking questions, listen carefully. If you listen, you will understand. ⁠Krsna is in Vrndavana with His sakti, there is no difference between sakti and saktiman. ⁠We are tatastha-sakti (marginal potency) of Krsna. Example of the Sun and its rays. ⁠By derivation, we all belong to Goloka Vrndavana; explaining tatastha-sakti. ⁠Read the Jaiva Dharma. Our question now is how to reach the abode of the Lord. ⁠This material world is a chain of Maya. The most important thing now is to question...

March 3, 2024 12:29 PM

Suddha-bhakti is pure devotional service. By practising karma, jnana, yoga and tapasya it is not possible to reach the highest goal, Krsna-prema. Verse: anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ jñāna-karmādy (Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.1.11). Story of a devotee of Lord Siva who performed austerities and wanted four blessings. Lord Siva is the best Vaisnava of all. If we practise pure devotional service, dharma, artha, kama and moksa will come easily. Devotees accept whatever they receive and offer it to Sri Krsna...

How beautiful is the form and face of Govinda and Srimati Radhika! What happens when the gopis have Govinda’s darsana. Where Radha is, there is also Krsna and vice versa. Song: Radha Nace Krsna Nace.

About the importance of Tulasi and Ganga. ⁠About the incorrect interpretation of the Scriptures by the sahadiyas. ⁠Gurudeva is like Brahma because he creates suddha-bhakti in the hearts of disciples. ⁠Gurudeva is like Visnu because he nourishes the hearts of disciples with suddha-bhakti. ⁠Gurudeva is like Siva/Mahesvara because he destroys the anarthas in the hearts of disciples. ⁠Mantra: Gurur Brahmā Gurur Viṣṇur Gurur devo Maheśvaraḥ Guruḥ sākṣāt paraṁ Brahma tasmai śrī gurave namaḥ ⁠Gurudeva...

When you glorify Vaishnavas you are protected from maya. Bhajana is possible only in the human body. Labdhva su-durlabham idam bahu-sambhavante (Srimad-Bhagavatam 11.9.29). Nobody is happy in this material world. Srila BV Trivikrama Gosvami Maharaja’s hari-katha was about Ravana who was very successful but not happy because he did not do bhajana and sadhana and disturbed the devotees. Srila BV Trivikrama Gosvami Maharaja was so hard outside but so soft inside. Srila BV Trivikrama Gosvami...

Three pillars of Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti. Appearance and disappearance of Vaishnavas are super excellent, auspicious days. Srila BV Trivikrama Gosvami Maharaja was so hard outside but so soft inside. The story of how a frog burst trying to get bigger than an elephant. If guru glorifies you, it means you are being cheated, but if guru chastises you, it means you are getting mercy from him. Anarthas are destroyed by hari-katha. Such was the hari-katha of Srila BV Trivikrama Gosvami Maharaja. Srila...

In this Kali-yuga, an era of fights and arguments, the spiritual process is just nama-sankirtana. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu invested all His potency in the Holy Names, which is superior to Hari Himself. It is necessary to avoid the ten offences in chanting the Holy Names, nama-sankirtana The three most dangerous offences: never criticising the sadhu, not thinking that Krsna’s name is the same as Siva’s name, never dishonouring the Guru. If Krsna is dissatisfied, the Guru can help. If...
