July 20, 2023 6:00 PM

Srila Gurudeva BV Vana Gosvami Maharaja is in the Philippines for the same reason Srila Svami Prabhupada preached all over the world. The conditioned souls are constantly wandering through the fourteen planetary systems, rising and falling. It’s not so easy to come out of the clutches of Maya.

If you remember Hari, Guru and Vaishnavas, all obstacles will disappear. On Hera-panchami in brief. The power and glory of sadhu-sanga. One gets it by the mercy of the Lord. Brihan-naradiya Purana 4.33: bhaktis tu bhagavad-bhakta sangena parijayate. Guru-mukha-padma-vākya, cittete koriyā aikya. Bhaktir evainam nayati bhaktir evainam pashyati.

PART 1 Gundicha Mandira marjana-lila, the pastime of cleaning the Gundicha temple. Lord Jagannatha is patita-pavana (the Saviour of fallen souls).

Story of Shankaracharya and his disciple Giri. Guru-seva brings the perfect realisation of the scriptures. Guru-nistha and guru-bhakti are the backbone of our spiritual life...
