Bhakti Yoga-Devotional Service to the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna

Bhakti Yoga-Devotional Service to the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna
Gopis performing Devotional Service to the Lordships Sri Sri Radha Krishna

Being most attached to Him&His devotion is really the most detached(from false identification)

1. One of the qualities of bhakti is, liberation will be considered to
be insignificant.
2. Renunciation is associated with desire for liberation. When one is
not interested in liberation it is difficult to give up.
3. In Bhakti, attachment to the Lord is so wonderful that one is saved
from bondage in material world.
4. Bhakti destroys karma, ahankar, avidhya and so on..liberation is
already achieved and these are secondary results and not the goal of
bhakti
5. Goal of bhakti is to attain more attraction for the Lord and more
Devotional Service.
6. At the stage of prema, the Lord becomes most attracted to His devotees.
-HH.Bhanu Swami Maharaj (SB#5.14.44)

Bhakti creeper is destroyed only by the elephant of offences!

1. One of the Qualities of bhakthi is,it is very rare. To attain
bhava stage one has to go through sadhu sanga, bhajana kriya ..and so
on,it cant be attained by any other process.
2. Even though the Lord reveals himself in the bhava stage there may
be a slight tinge of maya.
3. Effect of our sinful activities are destroyed but the effects of
aparadha(offences will remain even during bhava stage.
4. But even when there is a fall in bhava stage we should not
criticize just like how we dont talk ill of the moon even though there
are spots.
5. Process of bhakthi alone leads one,to the stage of bhava and then
to prema. One destroys punya-piety by enjoyment but the effect of
bhakthi is not destroyed unless one commits aparadha-offences.

Spiritual life is not bound by rules/rituals but whatever works for devotion is just the priority

1. Kings were expert in dharma but they are materialistic leaders
they conquer regions, get wealth but they end up in death.They dont
strive for eternal happiness.
2. Kings follow the varnashrama system, even in ideal varnashrama
system people are predominantly interested in material life.
3. To perform jnana and yoga one should be brahminical for which most
people are not qualified.
4. Even if one is in the varnashrama system or not one can strive for
success by the process of bhakthi.
5. One should surrender to the devotees of the Lord and through them
they surrender to Krsna.
6. One can try to bring good qualities but overemphasis on good
qualities is not an anga of bhakthi.Ultimately spiritual life is not
bound by Rules

Eternal Happiness!

1. In the whole material world suffering is never completely
extinguished, but it is designed in such a way so that one cannot give
it up.
2. There is necessity that we have to take shelter of devotees
through them ultimately we take shelter of krsna. Through devotees we
get knowledge of the supreme lord , inspiration to serve and leave the
material world. 3. The idea of leaving the material world should not
only be because of miseries , if the suffering aspect is more
prominent it becomes mixed devotion.
4. In pure bhakthi the motivation is to simply please the supreme lord.
5. When we tell chant and be happy our promise is for their eternal happiness.

Sometimes you see these pictures of a man looking for a guru and hes
climbing up a mountain.and finally he gets on the top of the mountain and
theres a big monitor with google on it! This is the situation of this age.
We have become brain dead gradually, gradually becoming more and more dull,
books are being written on how the computer and especially the internet has
changed the thought pattern of people. I read the title of a book about
this topic- is the internet making us stupid? It is a fact, the internet is
making us stupid because before we use to think, now we searchSrila
Bhaktivinoda Thakura writes in his essay called ethics of the Bhagavata
that actually when we are reading, that reading is not merely meant for
retention of knowledge but that rather, one should be creative with that
knowledge and take that knowledge and think of how to apply that knowledge.
Its not merely meant for storage, as nowadays where you just throw it on
your hard disk

Having Faith Part 1

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Finland, 2011)

We have no idea of the mercy that actually we are getting. We are thinking
that we understand all the mercy of Gaura Nitai, but we have no idea. Srila
Prabhupada told Dhananjaya:

"These deities of Gaura Nitai could just be given away to the people on the
street! You tell them that they are souvenirs….that these dolls are
souvenirs from the Hare Krishna and you can keep the doll. Everyday you can
put some water in front of the doll, which will bring luck for the whole
family. So you tell them".

Prabhupada was ready for that. It was inconceivable….what a vision of them.
What a faith in the mercy of Lord Caitanya, that somehow or other
everything will transform and that it will all work.

Kirtan Mela 2011

When the Vaisnavas assemble and chant kirtan for the pleasure of Krishna,
then the atmosphere becomes magical, the spiritual world manifests, and
Krsna is present. As different birds fly at different heights in the sky,
different devotees are on different levels of realization. Some may feel
the presence of the Lord and others may actually see Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu and His associates while chanting and dancing in kirtan. When
Narottama dasa Thakura performed his kirtan festival at Kethuri after Sri
Caitanya Mahprabhu had disappeared from this world, the devotees present
could see Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates chanting and dancing
in the greatest ecstasy. They themselves were then swept up in waves of
transcendental love. When Vaisnavas gather for kirtan, it is not only a
festival of temporary inspiration but an eternal benediction of lasting
benefit. When Vaisnavas gather for kirtan, it is an event not to miss!

(H.H. Kadamba Kanana Swami)

Because of Lord Caitanya

We chant Hare Krsna and we immediately think, Im a great bhakti yogi, I
mean what can Maya do to me.! And meanwhile Lord Caitanya is there every
moment blocking maya every step of the way and protecting us. Every step of
the way we are being protected otherwise we would fall down, a hundred
times, a thousand times a day! But by Lord Caitanyas personal intervention,
a hundred times, a thousand times a day we are saved! We dont see it. So we
can pray to Lord Caitanya in gratitude for saving us
(Kadamba Kanana Maharaja, September 2009, Durban, SA)
