THE ONE QUALITY (SB 7.9.9) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS
Wednesday Mar 16, 2022
Wednesday Mar 16, 2022
The spirit soul, as part and parcel of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, has all the good qualities of the Lord. When the spirit soul is contaminated by the material modes of nature, one is considered good or bad with reference to the material qualities. But when one is transcendental to all material qualities, all the good qualities come out. A pure devotee is supposed to possess 26 qualities. All 26 qualities are important but out of them, one is most important. Unless a person has this quality, it is very difficult to understand the essence of spiritual life. ย Let us understand:Which is this quality?How to possess it?What are the symptoms?In our this session "The One Quality".

This is called samฤdhi or trance. Prahlฤda Mahฤrฤja attained that stage beyond the senses. Because he was engaged in service, he felt transcendentally situated, and naturally his mind and attention became saturated in transcendence. Although a small child Prahlฤda Mahฤrฤja will be offering most exalted prayers to Lord Nแนsiแนhadeva.Let us hear more about "The Touch Of The Lord" in this session.

THE DILEMMA OF WORSHIP (SB 7.8.41-48) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS
Sunday Mar 06, 2022
Sunday Mar 06, 2022
One of the most important aspect of spirituality is worshipping the Lord. After understanding the importance of worshipping one may ask "Whom should I worship ?". Especially in India where we have 330 million Gods. It is not easy to get correct understanding. Some people say that you can worship any one of them, some have the opinion that only Krishna should be worshipped, yet others say that no need to worship anyone, you are yourself God!. People may have different opinions and understanding but as far as scriptures are concerned it is clear to whom we should worship to get the ultimate benefit.Let us end this "Dilemma" in our upcoming session of ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐,.

STRANGE ACTIVITES OF LORD (SB 7.8.32-40) | HG SREEHA GOVIND DAS
Friday Mar 04, 2022
Friday Mar 04, 2022
The activities of the Lord and His devotees are always wonderful and sometimes strange also. When Lord appears as Krishna, He descends in His original form as the enjoyer, and through His sweet pastimes captures the hearts of His devotees. However, many of Lord Krishnaโs pastimes are confusing for ordinary persons because He acts in ways that ordinary persons should not. That is why one of the more interesting names for Krishna is Adhokshaja. This means โone who is beyond the measurement of blunt instruments.โLet us understand some of the strange pastimes of the Lord.

THE FINALE (SB 7.8.23-31) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS
Monday Feb 28, 2022
Monday Feb 28, 2022
When a sinful man enjoys material facilities, foolish people sometimes think, "How is it that this sinful man is enjoying whereas a pious man is suffering?" By the will of the Supreme, a sinful man is sometimes given the chance to enjoy the material world as if he were not under the clutches of material nature, just so that he may be fooled. A sinful man who acts against the laws of nature must be punished, but sometimes he is given a chance to play and enjoy this material world.Indeed it is very difficult to understand this material world. What is the nature of this material world?Why we experience discrepancies?What is truth?Let us discuss this in our episode "THE FINALE"

THE MOST CLEVER LORD (SB 7.8.16-22) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS
Thursday Feb 24, 2022
Thursday Feb 24, 2022
As stated in the Vedas, parฤsya ลaktir vividhaiva ลrลซyatesvฤbhฤvikฤซ jรฑฤna-bala-kriyฤ ca, the different potencies of the Lord are always working as an automatic exhibition of His knowledge. It is a fact that Supreme Lord is all-powerful. No one is equal to and greater than Him but still, a demon thinks otherwise. A demon has no experience of the inconceivable power for which the Supreme Lord is called "all-powerful." Lord is full in all six opulence. He is "All-Powerful" at the same time "Most Intelligent" also.ย Now Hiraแนyakaลipu is going to get bewildered by seeing the wonderful form of the Lord which defies all his logical understanding.
Let us understand this in our upcoming session of ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐.

Wednesday Nov 24, 2021

Everything has to evaluated by the result. If we are executing our spiritual practices sincerely, then weakness of heart must be surmounted. Moreover, there are two specific weaknesses that have to be overcome.

I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas I am to be known; indeed I am the compiler of Vedanta, and I am the knower of the Vedas.(Bhagavad Gita 15.15)
ย
The Supreme Lord whom the whole world is searching after, declares that he is indeed present in one's own heart. He is the source and is willing to give all knowledge but beware, he is the source of forgetfulness as well.ย

The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal, fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.(Bhagavad Gita 15.7)
Some transcendentalists think of soul being one with the supreme spirit and stick to "advaita" or non-dual conception, whereas others think of spirit soul as being completely different from God and believe in "dvaita" conception. However, Lord Chaitanya gave the greatest revelation of absolute truth in the form of "achintya bhedabheda tattva" or inconceivable simultaneous oneness and difference, which Lord Krishna originally explained in the Gita.

PROCESS OF SURENDER (BG 15.5-11) | HG GAURMANDAL DAS
Tuesday Oct 26, 2021
Tuesday Oct 26, 2021
Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear. (Bhagavad Gita 18.66)
Surrender to God is the perfection of all mysticism and is the real beginning of spiritual life. The only qualification required to realize God, get empowered by God and to transfer oneself to the kingdom of God is Surrender.ย
But how do I surrender?
Yes! there is a systematic process as explained by Lord Krishna to Arjuna.

THE INVERTED BANYAN (BG 15.1-4) | HG GAURMANDAL DAS
Monday Oct 25, 2021
Monday Oct 25, 2021
"The Blessed Lord said: There is a banyan tree which has its roots upward and its branches down and whose leaves are the Vedic hymns. One who knows this tree is the knower of the Vedas." (Bhagavad Gita 15.1)
One may ask, why Bhagavad Gita is sidelining the Vedic rituals and stressing just on the prime importance of Bhakti-Yoga. It's because the purpose of entire vedic knowledge is to understand the "Inverted Banyan Tree" and then to cut it down, which is easily done by devotional service to Lord Krishna.
What is this Banyan tree?
Why is it inverted?
What is its true understanding?
How to cut it down?

HOW TO DO IT (BG 14.21-27) | HG GAURMANDAL DAS
Sunday Oct 24, 2021
Sunday Oct 24, 2021
"The Blessed Lord said: He who does not hate illumination, attachment and delusion when they are present, nor longs for them when they disappear; who is seated like one unconcerned, being situated beyond these material reactions of the modes of nature, who remains firm, knowing that the modes alone are active; who regards alike pleasure and pain, and looks on a clod, a stone and a piece of gold with an equal eye; who is wise and holds praise and blame to be the same; who is unchanged in honor and dishonor, who treats friend and foe alike, who has abandoned all fruitive undertakings--such a man is said to have transcended the modes of nature."
Certainly very high state of consciouness!
but the question remains,
Can I do it ?
How to do it practically in my current situation ?

The auspicious appearance day of Lord Balarama, the elder brother of Lord Sri Krishna, is celebrated on the full moon day of Shravana (August). Lord Balarama appeared as the son of Rohini and Vasudeva. He is also known as Baladeva and Sankarshana. He gives us the required spiritual strength to cross over the hurdles in our journey of self-realization. Devotees fast till noon and pray to Lord Balarama to bestow the spiritual strength needed to practice spiritual life. Lord Balaram carries a plow, the reason for which is to cultivate the hearts of the devotees so that it becomes fertile and suitable for the seed of Bhakti to grow nicely. Being the Adi guru tattva, he guides the devotees on their spiritual path so that they can go back home back to godhead. This day is also celebrated as Raksha Bandhan when sisters tie an auspicious rakhi to their brothers for protection. Many devotees, keeping the lord in the center, offer rakhi to Lord Balaram or Shyamsundar, and pray for their protection from the material energy so that they can one-pointedly be fixed in the service of the lord and attain the ultimate goal of life, which is the eternal service of the lord in the spiritual world.
