Sadhu-sanga happens when sukrti becomes mature and accumulated. Proper renunciation (yukta-vairagya) and false renunciation, like a monkey (markata-vairagya, renunciation without self-realisation). Renunciation only happens when the desire for sense gratification ends.

There is a specific type of hell only for those who practise these activities. There is...

PART 1 In Kali-yuga people do not have time to listen to hari-katha and harinama, they are always busy with material matters. Human beings have forgotten the Lord, and their true identity: eternal servants of Krsna. You are not this body, you are the soul. You are not a resident of this world, but of the spiritual world. What is your real home address? Who are your real father, mother, friends? Spiritual science explains, but how to understand? Chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. If I sing...

Without studying the Ramayna it is not possible to enter into bhakti. Sita was not kidnapped by Ravana, it was Chaya-Sita in Sita’s shadow, Mahaprabhu gave this evidence.
