17 Jul 2024 midday – Krishna and the Gopis at Kurukshetra (English) | Itajai, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

Ishvara-koti (Hiranya-garbha) and Jiva-koti (Vairajya) Brahmas. The gopis criticise Brahma in vamya-bhava, but actually they glorify him. The gopis admire the form of Krishna. It’s very difficult to give up the desire for name, fame and reputation. Never criticise anyone and no need to glorify him. The story of how a thief transferred...
