Katha of Ramachandra and Sita Devi. Surpanakha represents duplicity and hypocrisy. On internet advertising and artificial intelligence. Vasistha Rsi, the guru of Lord Rama’s dynasty. On varnasrama-dharma. Whoever chants the Holy Names has all their past karmas destroyed. There is no other reliable process for self-realization in this Kali-yuga besides chanting the Holy Names of Krishna. Everyone thinks they find happiness in marriage. Only crazy people consider themselves happy. On the...

– Food for the soul is hari-katha. – When a baby is crying far away from its mother, she cannot hear it. The baby cries and cries until it faints. In the same way, your soul cries out for hari-katha, but you do not listen to it, and it finally faints in maya. – Awaken your soul with the maha-mantra, the medicine brought by Mahaprabhu. – Chant gopala-mantra or gayatri-mantra to awaken your soul. – Create krishna-samsara in your home.

September 12, 2023 6:23 PM

Glorification of the Janmastami Festival in Wales, United Kingdom, 2023. Man proposes, God disposes. The creation, nourishment and destruction of the material world by the Lord. Problems arise when we think: “I am the doer”. Wandering in the repeated cycle of births and deaths (samsara) and the example of Bharata Maharaja attached to a baby deer. We cannot achieve our goal of perfection through knowledge alone. Only when our sukrti is mature and accumulated can we truly associate with the sadhu...

Mantra siddhi, sadhana siddhi. Krishna never leaves Vrindavana. But Yogamaya makes the gopis suffer in separation from Krishna. 4 types of separation. Srimati Radhika’s lila: She feels separation from Krishna while She is with Him when She hears that Madhusudana has gone (black bee). All of Krishna’s incarnations except Krishna Himself are absorbed in Their supremacy. The qualities of dhira-lalita-nayaka. Krishna is a prince and has no duties or responsibilities. His mind is never...

25 Apr 2023 evening – Mahaprabhu’s Extreme Mercy (English) – Callus, Spain | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

April 25, 2023 6:32 PM

Krishna gives prema only within Vrindavana.

6 Types of people do not want to take mercy from Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is extremely merciful, He has no weapon and does not kill anyone.

Actually it is Radha, not Mahaprabhu, who gives prema.

It’s not easy to get radha-prema.

Do not give up your family. Connect them with Krishna.

Everybody has to do krishna-samsara.

When you get guru-prema, you will get perfection.
