Human body is given by the Lord for bhajana. Jivas of this world are compared to cows, camels, donkeys, dogs, etc. The glories of nama are there in Srimad-Bhagavatam. Grantha-bhagavata and bhakta-bhagavata. People should behave according to their ashrama. Narada Rishi recommends Vyasadeva to write Krishna’s lilas. Chitraketu Maharaja is cursed by Parvati-devi and is born as Vritrasura. The love of mother is strongest. Slowly refuse meat, eggs, onion, garlic. Our body is the temple of Krishna. 4...

Pastime of Srivasa’s son who leaves his body on the day of Mahaprabhu’s kirtana. Narada Rsi, in Gaura-lila, is Srivasa Pandita. Mahaprabhu promised to always be present in the following places: at Srivasa Pandita’s house; where Nityananda dances; in the house of Raghava Pandita and Damayanti; in the calling of Advaita Acarya; and in the house of mother Saci Devi. In Dvaraka, Krsna is in His assembly, Narada Rsi arrives and asks Him to give a parijata flower to His favourite...

The material world is a perverted reflection of the spiritual world. Maya’s three dogs preside over the material world. Everyone has millions of faults in Kali-yuga. The supreme quality of Kali-yuga: nama-sankirtana. The lila about Narada Rsi’s instruction to Hanuman. In Kali-yuga it is very difficult to perform fire sacrifice. By chanting the holy names, we will be able to realise our constitutional form. Verse: jīvera ‘svarūpa’ haya — kṛṣṇera ‘nitya-dāsa’ (CC Madhya 20.108-109)...

September 16, 2023 8:49 AM

About Bhagavan’s sakti-tattvas. On bhagavat-krpa. One must meditate and remember the Deities who preside over the mantras. All problems are solved by controlling the mind, which is the king of the material senses. The control of the jnani’s mind is temporary and for those who listen carefully to the harikatha it is very easy to control it. When the devotee thinks of the Lord and immerses himself in meditation, he acquires all the qualifications to attain Him. Chant the holy names...

June 22, 2023 8:51 AM

Krishna says, “I am always with you, just meditate on Me. Krishna has three aspects: Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan. Bhagavan is the one who has six opulences and controls the spiritual world, the material world and the jivas (chit-sakti, maya-sakti and jiva-sakti). Among the innumerable brahmandas, this one, whose Brahma has four heads, is the smallest. Lila of Lord Rama, the dog and the pujari. Be careful! Those who are bad temple presidents and bad gurus-sevakas, who misuse money and...

May 18, 2023 11:37 AM

When harinama dances on the tongue, the devotee longs to have thousands of tongues and ears to chant and hear the holy names. Logicians only accept things according to their brains. Three labels are needed: pranipatena/pranipata (surrender), pariprasnena (submissive questioning) and savaya (tendency to serve). We hear harikatha a thousand times and don’t understand, we teach and don’t understand. One understands transcendental things only when the Lord manifests them in our hearts...

May 13, 2023 9:28 AM

Immersing in Brahma is a punishment of Sri Hari, bhakti is above the 3 modes of nature, and what to do if your family is unfavourable to bhakti! The one who wants to immerse himself in Brahma has an inert conscience, like a spoon that sinks in water. Immersing oneself in Brahma is like committing suicide. This is the punishment that Lord Hari gives to demons (immersion in Brahma). The mayavadi tendency is against the spontaneous nature of the soul to serve the Lord eternally. Paramatma knows...
