04 Jun 2023 evening – We Are All Eternal Servants of Krishna (English) – Balneario Camboriu, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

June 4, 2023 6:15 PM

All living entities are eternal servants of Krishna. Krishna speaks to Arjuna in BG 15.7. Our duty is to serve Krishna. Maya-devi punishes anyone who does not serve Krishna. Verse: kṛṣṇa bhuli’ sei jīva anādi-bahirmukha ataeva māyā tāre deya saṁsāra-duḥkha (Cc. Madhya 20.117). Although the souls suffer the three miseries in this material world, they do not think about how to get out of it and seek self-realisation. Why do we suffer the three miseries of maya (illusory energy)? Answer: The...

25 May 2023 morning – How to Achieve the Supreme Goal (English) – Paris, France | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

May 25, 2023 11:34 AM

You must have a clear decision as to what your cherished goal is. Without sadhana it is not possible to attain the ultimate goal of being Radha-dasi, servant of Radha. Guru-padasraya, diksa, siksa, vrsambhena, guru-sevaya. Without guru-seva there’s no point in having a lot of knowledge. If you don’t chant your mantras, you dishonour your Guru. It is necessary to follow the instructions of the Guru. Initiation does not happen in a single day, it happens throughout the whole process...

In sadhu-sanga we do not see time passing. Definition of kama and prema. Prema-samputa. How to understand tattva-siddhanta. The story of the deep, dark, waterless well. The conditioned soul is the slave of maya. Chewing the chewed. What is our only hope? Not even Krishna understands what prema is, says Radha. Only She knows. In the next life She will be Krishna and Krishna will be Radha. Gour Govinda Maharaja says there are 2 viraha-murtis of Puri: Krishna viraha-vidura Radha (Mahaprabhu) and...

Our bhajana/sadhana should always be one-pointed. On the Vedic marriage ceremony. Devi Bhagavata or Devi Bhagavati? Why did Srivasa Thakura not tell Mahaprabhu during the nama-sankirtana that his son had left the body? The soul never dies. We should bathe in the Ganges after touching/seeing a dead body. The rules for cleaning/purifying in the Archana Dipika for worshipping the Deity. Why don’t women wear sacred thread/sing brahma-gayatri? About the urine/dung of cows. About accepting what...

April 30, 2023 6:03 PM

Yoga means union with the Lord, and bhakti-yoga teaches us how to serve the Lord. Maya punishes us because we have forgotten to serve Krsna. If we serve Krsna, Maya will stop punishing us. A baddha-jiva has no sukriti, so he has no faith in sadhu, guru and Vaishnava. The conditioned soul is always absorbed in four things: eating, sleeping, mating and defending itself.Verse:āhāra-nidra-bhaya-maithunaṁ casāmānyam etat paśubhir narāṇāmdharmo hi teṣām adhiko viśeṣodharmeṇa hīnaḥ paśubhiḥ samānaḥ...

April 21, 2023 6:50 PM

In the material world time is very short, but in the transcendental world it is unlimited. When we talk about spiritual things, time takes a long time, but when we talk about mundane things, time passes so fast that we don’t even notice it. Whoever is born in this material world will surely die one day, and again and again we are born from the womb. It is necessary to ask about the soul that is in the body. Spiritual science speaks of the soul. The soul is an integral part of the Supreme...
