By glorifying the lotus feet of the Vaisnavas we will be free from Maya. Sloka: daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te (Bhagavad Gita 7.14). Conditioned souls are always thinking about what to do and how to do it. We must surrender to Sri Radha and Krsna. Spiritual life begins when we ask ourselves: “Who am I?” Remove the anarthas and meditate on yourself, develop the qualities of the devatas (demigods) and then meditate on Sri Radha...

24 Nov 2023 afternoon – Glorification of the Seva of the Gopis (Hindi) – Govardhana, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

November 24, 2023 5:07 PM

Radha gets upset with Krsna and sends Him away. Krsna respects Radha so much that He places the peacock feather named after Her on His head. When Radha is in a certain mood, She tells Krsna to put “alta” on Her feet, and He obeys. That is dhira-lalita-nayaka Krsna. Getting Radha’s feet is very difficult for Krsna, what to say to one of us. Krsna is pushed by a sakhi. Krsna’s head touches Radharani’s feet. The gopis see Krsna’s flute and feel very envious. Despite being a...

Sloka: tṛṇād api sunīcenataror iva sahiṣṇunā (Siksastaka 3). Becoming a Vaisnava is very difficult because the humility of Vaisnavas is incomparable. Srila Vamana Maharaja was the embodiment of humility, he received diksa from Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada. When Srila Narayana Maharaja joined the Vedanta Samiti, he received diksa from Srila Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja, but Vamana Maharaja glorified him. True Vaisnavas glorify others without interest. Srila Narayana...

One should have good behaviour, otherwise many anarthas will come to your heart. One should listen to harikatha under the guidance of the sadhu. One must listen with great faith! Thus Krsna is attained. The word bhakti only makes sense when applied to Krsna. Sloka: anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁjñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam (CC Madhya-lila 19.167). Harikatha aims for connection, not abandonment. Sukadeva Gosvami is the perfect speaker, for he tasted the nectar from the lips of Srimati Radhika. Many Rsis...
