PART 1 The Madhurya Kadambini sheds light on Siva-tattva. Explanation of two types of Brahma: Vairaja Brahma (jiva-koti-brahma/jiva-tattva) and Hiranyagarbha Brahma (Isvara-koti-brahma/Isvara-tattva). When a jiva attains the qualification for the Brahma position, he receives sakti from the Lord to be able to assume the function of creation. A funny story of how the proud Brahma sent a letter of resignation to Lord Visnu. The jiva who performs perfectly in the Brahma position attains the Siva...

Question: People don’t know anything about yoga… Answer: When you preach, people will start coming. Question: Sometimes we spend a lot of money and effort and the result is insignificant… Answer: Don’t consider aiming at the result, that is not bhakti! You should just do your duty, Krsna says so in the Bhagavad Gita. Karmis aim at their own benefit, bhaktas don’t! Jnanis want to detach themselves with the help of knowledge and merge into the brahman effulgence (brahma...

Nishanta means the end of the night: nisa (night) + anta (end). The end of the night of the soul occurs when the desire to enjoy the senses ends. Those with jaundice taste sugar as something bitter. Song: Emona Durmati. When sukrti is ripe and accumulated, one attains sadhu-sanga and enjoys hearing hari-katha, then Bhakti-devi awakens in the heart. Jnata-sukrti and ajnata-sukrti. Karma-unmukhi-sukrti, jnana-unmukhi-sukrti and bhakti-unmukhi-sukrti. Sayujya-mukti, isvara-sayujya and brahma...

April 27, 2023 9:34 AM

The difference between advaitavadis and mayavadis. Two ways of understanding sastra: indirect (laksana-vrtti) and direct (abhidha-vrtti). All the bodily members of the Lord are transcendental. Example of Devadata, who ate without anyone seeing and became fat. About the phrase Aham Brahmasmi (I am Brahma): Krishna spoke this phrase, Vyasadeva wrote it. No one can equal the Lord, He is brhad (great) and ananta (unlimited). But the jivas are small. Lord Krishna orders Shankaracarya to preach the...
