Over a century ago, Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura explained that the Supreme Truth reveals Himself through different spiritual relationships, or rasas, which gradually unfold across history and cultures. These moods are not confined to one land or one community; they appear wherever sincere hearts are ready to receive divine love. In his writings, Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura described how vātsalya-rasa, the mood of loving parental affection toward God, crossed beyond India and manifested powerfully...

25 Dec 2025 – Today is Christmas — a day of prayer, remembrance, and longing for God (Hindi)
Today is Christmas — a day of prayer, remembrance, and longing for God.This story is not about one person alone. We have seen many devotees whose journeys began the same way — with a sincere prayer, a restless heart, and a deep desire to meet God in a living, tangible way. Some pray to Jesus. Some pray without knowing whom they are calling. But when the prayer is honest, God always responds — often by guiding the soul through a saint, a Guru, a living example of devotion. As Jesus said in The...

12 Sep 2025 evening – Self-Realization Is the Best Realization (English) | Christchurch, New Zealand | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
The Bible reveals that God created man in His image and His likeness. This human body enables us to perform devotional service. We must have an inquisitive attitude and humor, just as scientists do. It is not possible to conquer death and become immortal; thus, we go through a cycle of birth and death. We are not the body; we are the soul, and it is the soul that makes this body function. Everything that exists has an intrinsic nature; in the case of the soul, its nature is to serve the Lord...

Remembrance the service to the Guru that the devotees of the present family did and do. Bhakti makes people rejuvenate, everyone dances! Srila Gurudeva thanks Damodara Dasa Prabhu for the wonderful seva kirtanya he does. Bhagavan is where there is Harikatha, where devotees live and chant the Holy Names. Do not eat any animal, not even garlic and onion. The human body is very rare to be attained. The Bible says that God created man as His image and likeness. Tulasi Dasa says, “If someone says...

09 Jan 2025 evening – The Material Body and the Soul (English) | Itajai, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
God created human beings in His image and likeness. Human beings and animals eat, sleep, mate, and defend themselves. Spiritual science explains the difference between animals and human beings. Human beings have the ability to discriminate between right and wrong. We are not the body, we are the soul, integral parts of the Lord. The Bible speaks of vatsalya-bhava, that we are children of the Lord. God is one but has different names. Try to understand the meaning of God and the soul. Birth, old...

– Sri Krsna is Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. – In this material world, time is something very valuable, it establishes the cycle of life. – When we are listening to harikatha we do not waste time in our lives. – In sadhu-sanga, Krsna-prema and Krsna-bhakti manifest themselves in the heart of the devotee. – Verse: kṛṣṇa-bhakti-janma-mūla haya (CC Madhya-lila 22.83). – The great wonder of this world is that we see beings die but we think:...
