26 Sep 2024 morning – Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Guru Katha (English) | Christchurch, New Zealand | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

September 26, 2024 8:54 AM

Goura-krpa is essential for entry into madhurya-rasa. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the combined form of Radha and Krsna. We should merge into Goura-prema. The parikaras (eternal associates) do not belong to the category of jiva-tattva, they manifest from antaranga-sakti. Jiva-sakti and vibhinansa-sakti (marginal potency) are synonymous. The jivas manifest from jiva-sakti. Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami is an associate of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He used to hear Harikatha from Svarupa Damodara. ⁠A beautiful poem...

03 Aug 2024 morning – Types of Faith (English) | Badger, USA | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

August 3, 2024 10:42 AM

On Vaisnava suddha sadacara: good Vaisnava behaviour. Bhajana and sadhana are useless for one who commits offences. Only constant hearing of Harikatha can protect us from Maya. On nama-aparadha. In Kali-yuga people’s minds are contaminated by tama-guna, so it is difficult to meditate on the Lord. Even if your pronunciation is bad, the Lord accepts the chanting of the Holy Names anyway in Kali-yuga. The souls of Kali-yuga have innumerable defects and the Lord has invested all His potency...

Ambarisha Maharaja served Krishna with all the limbs of his body. Shloka: kṛṣṇa bhuli’ sei jīva anādi-bahirmukha (CC Madhya 20.117) – We do not serve Krishna, but merciful Guru and Vaishnavas always engage us in krishna-seva. Sambandha, abhidheya and prayojana are important in our spiritual life. Govinda, Gopinatha and Madana-Mohana deities take the form of Radha-Ramana deity. Gurupada-padma is the one who gives sambandha to his disciples. Shloka: dhyāna-mūlaṃ guror mūrtiḥ (Sri Guru...

17 Feb 2024 evening – About Aparadhas and the Power of Navadvipa Dhama (English) – Cochabamba, Bolivia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

February 17, 2024 6:58 PM

The nature of the sadhu (saint) is to glorify Krsna’s pastimes. Conditioned souls pay attention to other people’s faults. Analogy with the eye of the needle and the millions of holes in the sieve. The index finger has no use for spiritual practice as it is the finger of judgement, very dangerous! Bhakti Devi can tolerate everything except criticism and insults to Vaisnavas! Chant the Holy Names and just look at your own faults! Sloka: asad-varta-vesya visrja mati-sarvasva-haranih...
