DOING BUSINESS WITH THE LORD (SB 7.9.55) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

For a materialist exchanges of devotional service for lusty desires are always very prominent. As soon as lusty desires awaken, one's senses, mind, life, soul, religious principles, patience, intelligence, shyness, beauty, strength, memory and truthfulness are all vanquished. One can render unalloyed devotional service only when there are no material desires in one's mind.Let us discuss more in this session.

THE SADHANA BHAKTI (SB 79.52-54) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

Devotional service is not a matter of sentimental speculation or imaginative ecstasy. It's substance is practical activity. There are well-defined stages of systematic growth in spiritual life. A devotee can judge his current level and try to attain the next one.
Let us understand:
What are the different stages?
In which stage we are in?
How to go the next one?

FORM OF THE LORD (SB 7.9.51-52) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

Generally, people get confused whenever we talk about the form of the Lord. Some think that the universal form of Kṛṣṇa which was manifested to Arjuna is more important than His personal form. According to them, the personal form of the Supreme is something imaginary. They believe that in the ultimate issue, the Absolute Truth is not a person. But the transcendental process is described in Bhagavad-gītā, Chapter Four: to hear about Krishna from authorities. Let us understand:What is the form of the Lord?How to perceive this form?What are different aspects of Supreme?

ASPIRATIONS OF A DEVOTEE (SB 7.9.50) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

Sometimes people say "Spiritual life is very boring, there is no goal and aspiration". But it is not the fact. Just like a materialistic person aspires of material achievements, a devotee also aspires for spiritual achievement. There are spiritual goals in a devotee's life also but the difference is unlike a karmi, who has faith in his strength and abilities, a devotee is always fully dependent on Lord's mercy for all his goals and achievements.Let us understand.

THE FOREMOST DUTY (SB 7.9.49) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

The Vedic rites and rituals are imperative for neophytes: comprehending all kinds of prayer three times a day, taking a bath early in the morning, offering respects to the forefathers, etc. A person may be doing all these very rigidly but still miss the most important point. If one simply engages in the rituals and does not understand the purpose of the Vedas he is uselessly wasting time in such engagements. Let us understand:What is the purpose of Vedas?What is the foremost duty?How to execute this duty?

THE HONEST THIEF (SB 7.9.48) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

Honesty is considered as a very good quality. An honest person is respected everywhere in this material world. But what if a thief projects himself as very honest? He sincerely divides looted money with his other co-thieves. He takes care of children and women's rights as well. He is very much transparent also. Can we call him Honest?Lets us understand:What is the actual meaning of being Honest?Who is Honest?Are we honest?

GOD AND ABSOLUTE TRUTH (SB 7.9.47) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

In Vedic literatures, we have heard a lot this word, GOD. Every bona fide religion talks about GOD. But there is something special in the case of Sanatana Dharma, it not only mentions about GOD but it also describes, in detail, about The ABSOLUTE TRUTH. The conception of God and the conception of Absolute Truth are not on the same level. The Srimad Bhagavatam hits on the target of the Absolute Truth which is the ultimate cause of everything.Let's discuss:Is there any difference between the conception of God and the conception of Absolute Truth?What is the difference?What should be our approach?

TEN PATHS TO LIBERATION (SB 7.9.46) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

The real purpose of human life is to attain liberation from material entanglement. Such liberation may be achieved by many methods, but all of them more or less depend on tapasya, austerity, which begins with celibacy. There are ten prescribed methods on the path to liberation. Those who have fully surrendered to the lotus feet of Lord Vāsudeva, Krishna, automatically achieve the results of all these methods. Let us understand in this session.

3 SECRETS: PART 2 | BHAGAVAD GITA | HG GAURMANDAL DAS | HKM MUMBAI

The Bhagavad Gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna. The Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme. Every man is in difficulty in so many ways, as Arjuna also was in difficulty in having to fight the Battle of Kurukshetra. Arjuna surrendered unto Sri Krsna, and consequently this Bhagavad Gita was spoken. Then question comes up 🧐 What is the Bhagavad Gita? How to understand Bhagavad Gita? 🤔 The Bhagavad Gita is just like a cow, and Lord Krsna, who is a cowherd boy, is milking this cow. The milk is the essence of the Vedas, and Arjuna is just like a calf. The wise men, the great sages and pure devotees, are to drink the nectarean milk of Bhagavad Gita.

DEITY WHO WAS A THIEF (SPECIAL SESSION) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

The vigraha, the Deity of Kṛṣṇa, appears by Kṛṣṇa’s mercy. Because Kṛṣṇa is alakṣya, invisible, He becomes visible to give us the facility to see Him. It is not that Kṛṣṇa is stone, wood, or metal. Kṛṣṇa is always Kṛṣṇa, but because we cannot see anything beyond material elements like wood, stone, and metal, He appears one in a form made of these elements. Kṛṣṇa is everything, and therefore Kṛṣṇa is stone also, but He is not the kind of stone that cannot act. One should not think deity as stone. Svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ. The Deity, although apparently stone, may speak with a devotee. There are many instances in which this has happened where so-called stone has spoken, walked and even STOLEN for his devotees. Let us understand one such pastime of the Lord.

HOW TO BURST THE BALLOON OF LUST (CONCLUSION) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

Materialists think that sexual indulgence is the greatest happiness in this material world, and therefore they make elaborate plans to satisfy their senses, especially the genitals. This is generally found everywhere, and specifically found in the Western world, where there are regular arrangements to satisfy sex life in different ways. Actually, however, this has not made anyone happy.The human form of life is a great asset, for in this life one can fulfill the goal of existence. Unfortunately, however, because of a lack of education and culture, people are victimized by the false happiness of sex life.

3 SECRETS | BHAGAVAD GITA | HG GAURMANDAL DAS | HKM MUMBAI

What is the Bhagavad Gita? The purpose of Bhagavad Gita is to deliver mankind from the nescience of material existence. Every man is in difficulty in so many ways, as Arjuna also was in difficulty in having to fight the Battle of Kurukshetra. Arjuna surrendered unto Sri Krsna, and consequently this Bhagavad Gita was spoken. Not only Arjuna, but every one of us is full of anxieties because of this material existence. Our very existence is in the atmosphere of nonexistence. Out of so many human beings who are suffering, there are a few who are actually inquiring about their position, as to what they are, why they are put into this awkward position and so on. Unless one is awakened to this position of questioning his suffering, unless he realizes that he doesn't want suffering but rather wants to make a solution to all sufferings, then one is not to be considered a perfect human being. Humanity begins when this sort of inquiry is awakened in one's mind. In the Brahma-sutra this inquiry is called "brahma-jijnasa." Every activity of the human being is to be considered a failure unless he inquires about the nature of the Absolute. Therefore those who begin to question why they are suffering or where they came from and where they shall go after death are proper students for understanding Bhagavad Gita. For them it again raises a question : How to understand the secrets of Bhagavad Gita. So, in today’s video it is to be discussed : 3 Secrets to understand the mystery of Srimad Bhagavad Gita. One cleanses himself daily by taking a bath in water, but one who takes his bath only once in the sacred Ganges water of the Bhagavad Gita cleanses away all the dirt of material life. Because Bhagavad Gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad Gita. In the present age, mankind is so absorbed with mundane activities that it is not possible to read all of the Vedic literature. But this is not necessary. This one book, Bhagavad Gita, will suffice because it is the essence of all Vedic literatures and because it is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is said that one who drinks the water of the Ganges certainly gets salvation, but what to speak of one who drinks the waters of Bhagavad Gita? The Bhagavad Gita is just like a cow, and Lord Krsna, who is a cowherd boy, is milking this cow. The milk is the essence of the Vedas, and Arjuna is just like a calf. The wise men, the great sages and pure devotees, are to drink the nectarean milk of Bhagavad Gita.

HOW TO BURST THE BALLOON OF LUST (SB 7.9.44-45) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

This is generally found everywhere, and specifically found in the Western world, where there are regular arrangements to satisfy sex life in different ways.

BLACK MAGIC | OCCULT | TANTRA | MAGICK | HG GAURMANDAL DAS | HKM MUMBAI

What is Black Magic? Black magic is also known as Tantra Vidya or Occult. It is not magic, it is just a science. There are many men who practice this black art, and they think that it is supernatural or spiritual, but such activities are completely materialistic. The practice of Black magic is not something new, it has been practiced for generations. Tantra Vidya/sorcery is used to kill a person, bringing him under submission, and destroying or devastating him.

TAKING ANXIETY FOR LORD (SB 7.9.42-43) | SREESHA GOVIND DAS

Generally, a common man is interested in pounds, shillings and pence, or materialistic advancement in life. Throughout the entire world, everyone is making big, big plans to adjust the miseries of the material world, and this is true at present, in the past and in the future. In this material world it is not possible to become anxiety free. A person is bound to take a lot of anxiety either for himself or his extended selves. A pure devotee, although transcendental to the material world, also takes anxiety. Let us understand:What is a devotee's anxiety?For whom he is anxious?What is the remedy?

WHO IS WITNESSING (SB 7.9.41 ) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

While committing a sinful act, a person due to ignorance thinks that no one has witnessed his sinful activity. He is free to do whatever he likes. But the fact is that he is being witnessed by so many living entities at each and every step of his life which he himself cannot see. Nature's  Laws are perfect. Nobody can escape these laws unless one takes complete shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Lets us understand:
Who all are witnesses of our every single act?
What is the cause of sinful activities?
What is real atonement?

WHY AM I DISTURBED? (SB 7.9.40) | HG SREESHA GOVIND DAS

It is said that man is a rational animal. When the rationality is missing, then he is simply an animal, not a human being. It is expected from human beings to make relevant inquiries. There is certainly a great deal of comfort in the first-class coach of a train, but if the train does not move toward its destination, what is the benefit of an air-conditioned compartment? Contemporary civilization is much too concerned with making the material body comfortable. No one has information about the real destination of life. The result is even after having so many facilities we are DISTURBED.Let us understand:-What is the Root cause of this DISTURBANCE?- How to deal with it?- What is the solution?
