The nature of the sadhu (saint) is to glorify Krsna’s pastimes. Conditioned souls pay attention to other people’s faults. Analogy with the eye of the needle and the millions of holes in the sieve. The index finger has no use for spiritual practice as it is the finger of judgement, very dangerous! Bhakti Devi can tolerate everything except criticism and insults to Vaisnavas! Chant the Holy Names and just look at your own faults! Sloka: asad-varta-vesya visrja mati-sarvasva-haranih...

Everyone wants love and affection, happiness and freedom from suffering. In different languages, the Scriptures say that the spontaneous nature of living entities is love and peace. Love is God and God is Love. Who is God? God is the Supreme, the Absolute Truth. Everything manifests itself from Him, remains in Him, is destroyed by Him, and returns to Him. The Scriptures say that God manifests himself in three ways: as Brahman (effulgence), Paramatma (in the heart of every being), and Bhagavan...

Tomorrow we will celebrate the appearance of Srila Gurudeva BV Narayana Gosvami Maharaja and Mauni Amavasya of Siva. ⁠Parvati’s lila doubting that Ramacandra is Bhagavan. ⁠If you have doubts in the Guru, the Vaisnavas and Bhagavan, you will lose everything. ⁠Parvati committed many offences: She lied to Siva and pretended to be Sita Devi.

Three pillars of Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti. Appearance and disappearance of Vaishnavas are super excellent, auspicious days. Srila BV Trivikrama Gosvami Maharaja was so hard outside but so soft inside. The story of how a frog burst trying to get bigger than an elephant. If guru glorifies you, it means you are being cheated, but if guru chastises you, it means you are getting mercy from him. Anarthas are destroyed by hari-katha. Such was the hari-katha of Srila BV Trivikrama Gosvami Maharaja. Srila...

In this Kali-yuga, an era of fights and arguments, the spiritual process is just nama-sankirtana. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu invested all His potency in the Holy Names, which is superior to Hari Himself. It is necessary to avoid the ten offences in chanting the Holy Names, nama-sankirtana The three most dangerous offences: never criticising the sadhu, not thinking that Krsna’s name is the same as Siva’s name, never dishonouring the Guru.

Everyone who practises bhakti-yoga must be careful not to commit vaisnava-aparadha. ⁠Whoever commits offences becomes unfit to receive Krsna’s mercy. ⁠Only see your own flaws. ⁠He who follows the rules of the Scriptures, little by little, reaches the highest spiritual destiny. ⁠In the sadhana stage, the sadhaka must follow vaidhi-bhakti. ⁠Sloka: sevā sādhaka-rūpeṇa siddha-rūpeṇa cātra hi tad-bhāva-lipsunā kāryā vraja-lokānusārataḥ (CC Madhya-lila 22.158).
