05 Jul 2026 midday – The Importance of Sadhu Sanga (English) – Seattle, USA – Srila BV Vana Maharaja

July 5, 2026 12:00 PM

– Everything is already in our hearts, but we must associate with the sadhu and everything will manifest. – The root of krsna-bhakti is sadhu-sanga (association with sadhu). – Without hearing Harikatha there is no chance of Bhakti-devi manifesting in the heart. – Katha from when Devananda Pandita was punished by Lord Caitanya. – There is grantha-bhagavata and bhakta-bhagavata, the latter is the best because we can understand the perfect meaning of Srimad Bhagavatam...

PART 1 PART 2 Those who practice devotional service to Lord Sri Krsna with their body, mind, and words. Our goal is to attain a hint of the humor of the cowherd boys of Vraja. The bodily conception is the root of all anarthas. About karma-kanda, jnana-kanda, and bhakti-kanda. There are different types of vairagya (renunciation). We must take care of our body to serve Krsna and, in no way, show others false renunciation. Our body needs to be healthy to awaken to mangala-arati, which is a limb of...

Ajamila uttered nama-abhasa. For impersonalists nama-abhasa destroys only prarabdha-karma and for pure devotees nama-abhasa destroys both prarabdha-karma and aprarabdha-karma.

PART 1 Sloka: tṛṇād api sunīcenataror api sahiṣṇunā (Siksastaka 3). Mahaprabhu said that in Kali-yuga, the only sadhana is harinama. Dvadasi, the day after ekadasi, is very auspicious, it is the day of Vaisnava-seva. We only receive the pious merits of ekadasi when we break the fast at the right time. There are ten types of offences when chanting the holy names (nama aparadha). The first offence is satāṁ nindā. Nama Prabhu does not tolerate anyone who criticises the Vaisnavas. The second...

How do you get paramarthiki-shraddha? You must have unshakable faith (atyantiki-shraddha). Paramarthiki-shraddha awakens with mature sukriti. Ajnata-sukriti and jnata-sukriti. Eight types of worship of Tulasi Devi. Ganga, Tulasi and Giriraja Govardhana are very important in Kali-yuga and will gradually disappear. The conditioned soul seeks sense gratification. The love and affection in the hearts of the gopis. The lila of Kurukshetra at the Samanta-panchaka site: the meeting of the queens of...

Radharani fulfils all the wishes of Krishna. She is prema-mayi-murti. Radharani knows Krishna’s heart. How do we serve our Istadeva? Example of the guru asking his disciple to bring him water. What is a sevaka? Who can serve Krishna? He is atmarama and aptakama. The word Radha means priti, love. Nama-seva. Prasada-seva is the best seva. Sudha-bhakata song. Through seva one conquers maya. Maha Prasada Govinde song. Ausadi-seva – the service that is medicine. Krishna is sat-cit-ananda...
