19 Dec 2025 evening – We Are Eternal Servants of Krishna (English) – Mexico City, Mexico | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

Guru-bhogi are those gurus who are absorbed in sense gratification...

The time women have to stay away from certain worship activities is during their cycle.
When aihuntiki sraddha, an unflinching faith, comes, we will know of our progress.
Knowledge will not help you perform sadhana and bhajana
How to accumulate sukrti
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, “Be surprised by how many stay in Krishna Consciousness.”
Chanting nama-aparadha will remove offences then sukrti will come.
