Madhava Prabhu and Hare Krsna Prabhu.The kirtanas of Kadamba Kanana
Maharaja and Hare Krsna Prabhu were explosive, getting everyone to
dance with Candramauli Swami leading the dacning, who is famous for
his fancy dance moves, whereas Jayadvaita Maharaja distributed some
nectar in the form of super-sharp and intelligent classes!
Meanwhile Madhava ended up each day with his meditative Bhajanas,
dedicated to Ljubljana's Pancha Tattva deities, the beautiful Radha
Syama murtis from Munich and Madhava's own deity of Haridasa Thakura.
All glories to all the dedicated devotees who spent 24 hours on this

Fwd: KKSblog.com - A kirtana weekend in Slovenia

When the senses are in the vicinity of sense objects, it's difficult
for the senses to be inactive due to the vasanas in the mind from the
past.
Thats why sometimes when the acharyas give commentary for the Bhagavad
Gita saying that the sense objects are superior to the senses which
are in contrast to the Indriyani pranyahur Indriyepya param
manaha..where it means the senses are higher than the sense objects.
This is why the regulative principles are important to stick to!

Senses Vs Sense objects in the light of Bhagavad Gita & Acharyas

Even the sinful activities of the material world will subside sooner
but the offences to the devotees of the Lord will destroy the creeper
of devotion completely. Intentional or unintentional, the offence has
its effect. In the case of Bharata Maharaj it's residual effect of
some accidental offence to a Vaishnava which came in the form of his
attachment to deer. He left the entire kingdom what is difficulty to
leave a deer?
Even in Bhava stage it's effect is experienced as weakening of faith
in the process of Devotional Service and the Lord.

Detrimental effects of Offences Last longer even when in Bhava stage

The devotees are like makara-fish King in the sea are qualified to
swim in the ocean of Bhakti. The nets are karma and the devotees wont
get caught in it. The rivers of impersonalism are outside&finally has
to come to the understanding of the ocean to attain perfection.
The arguments of the jnanis and karmis which are like volcanoes in the
middle of the sea are finished by the waters of the ocean of devotion.
When we do mixed devotion we will get impersonal form even within the
Spiritual world. So there is a very certain type of pure Bhakti. We
should perform devotion to Him with an attitude that is pleasing to
Him. Hiranyakashipu was also thinking of the Lord but the Lord was
pleased with Him.only pure Bhakti will give servant,friendship
relations with the Lord. Bhakti with jnana will give santa rasa in
Spiritual World-Notes from HH.Bhanu Swami Maharaj class on NOD

Devotees arent caught in the nets of karma,jnana in the ocean of Bhakti.Pure Bhakti is required for attaining personal relationship with the Lord.

Types of uttama Bhakti
1.sadana
2.bhava
3.prema
Klesa
Ignorance in false ego leads to desire to enjoy in the material work.
That leads to action and reactions and eventually suffering. And we do
again actions to remove suffering and again reactions.
Bhakti will first finish this suffering.
It destroys all this types of Klesa.
Subhada-2nd stage
Affection for all entities. Attractive to all entities
Develops all good qualities are of souls not of The modes
1 plus 2 equals sprout with leaf,
Asakti-karma
Bhava-there's tinge of false ego
Prema-0 karma and 0 false ego
Attaining bhava-
It's all dependent of The mercy of The Lord.
Because of The bliss of The realization of The Lord, there's no
hankering for liberation.
Krsna is particularly attracted to prema Bhakti. He falls under the
Ctrl of a devotee-Notes from HH.Bhanu Swami Maharaj on nectar of
devotion.
