A part of the Perfect appears to be imperfect from a relative viewpoint.

People think that they’re all about “self-expression,” and “I’ve just got to be me.” Sure, you should be you, but find out, who you are first. Don’t assume that what you are at present, under layers of acquired prejudice, acquired tendency and false ego, that false self, cocooning and enveloping the actual self, is the self that is worth all of this self-expression.

What is a night for one is a time of awakening for another, and vice versa. It means there’s a world where someone is awake in that world, and everything is understandable, perceivable to them, and it’s like madness to ordinary people. But is it madness, or is it something substantial?

2021-04-24 • Hearts Filled with Supernatural Joy • Śrīla Govinda Mahārāja’s Disappearance • B.S.Goswāmī Mahārāja and B.R.Madhusūdan Mahārāja • CNX • [en]

00:10:41 What is the most unbearable pain?

00:20:22 Who is a Vaiṣṇava proper?

00:26:53 Govinda Mahārāja comes to the Maṭh.  

00:35:22 Transcendental humorist.

00:45:46 Why did Śrīdhar Mahārāja appoint Govinda Mahārāja as his successor at such early age?

00:50:26 Śrīla Madhusūdan Mahārāja: “Lest we forget.”

Unmanifest pastimes; the pastimes of Krishna are neither historic nor imaginary; aprakat—gone to unmanifest position; the most unbearable pain; Mahāprabhu’s tasting matter; divine love stories; someone between me and Krishna; a real Vaishnava; Guru sees his disciples as the extensions of his Guru; Govinda Mahārāja comes to the Math; transcendental humorist; Govinda Mahārāja deciphers the year of Mahaprabhu’s sitting under Imli tree; Govinda Maharaj as the successor and Sevaite-President-Āchārya of the Math; comparison to Lalitā Devī; “Lest we forget”; Gurudev made everybody feel like a family; Gurudev’s care for people brings harmony; how to live after Guru’s disappearance; watch the recordings of our Gurus with the devotees; Gurudev wished to be with the devotees 24-hours a day; born and raised in the association of natural paramahaṁsa; association of the Vaiṣṇavas is our wealth; prasādam pastimes; Thailand mangos for Gurudev; prasādam is of the outmost importance; Gurudev takes care of everyone; holding on to the window bars of the Maṭh; talk at the opening of Māyāpur Chandradaya Mandir; Gurudev’s religion is to fill others’ hearts with supernatural joy.

The greatest pain or greatest sorrow, according to Ramananda, is if you become separated from the devotee. So what he’s telling us, by inference, is: cause without that devotee you have no hope of Krishna connection.

Gurudev was so trusting, and that was so empowering. He said, “I don’t need to instruct my disciples. They know what to do. They know what is wrong, they know what is right.” And he was very hesitant to correct. He would give the devotees the opportunity to self-edit, to self-correct.

2021-04-16 • What’s the Form of God? • B.S.Goswāmī Mahārāja • CNX • [en]

00:01:23 Why do some people think they’re God? Why the soul is so forgetful?

00:26:30 The form of God

00:32:50 The doors of perception

00:36:32 Competing narratives

00:46:17 Only Krishna. Accept no substitute. Rukmiṇī Devī.

Q: Why do some people think they’re God?

Forgetfulness of Krishna; “the monarch of all I survey”; humanism and “master”-element in people; “just do it!”; humanism and māyāvād “I am God”; does God have form?; Krishna-bhakti is the answer to everything; on eros and dust; how to break free from the lust?; everything has a form; a correspondent infinite for each sense of perception; competing narratives: materialistic and Vedic; only Krishna—accept no substitute; Rukmiṇī Devī’s prayers; beauty eternal and temporary; suffering from remembrance and forgetfulness of Krishna; no abstraction; devotion to Krishna and His devotees is everything.

Consciousness enables you to feel pleasure. Without consciousness—like anaesthetic—you don’t feel pleasure or pain. So consciousness enables us to feel. And we are hardwired to search for happiness.

A cluster of subjective concepts is an object.

Keywords: Humanism, mastership, lordship, forgetfulness of the Lord, advertising, conflict, monism, māyāvād, form, A Litany in Time of Plague, Thomas Nashe, Shakespeare, senses, suffering, Shelley, Ozymandias, A.L. Basham, Blake, doors of perception, Hrishikesh, Rukmiṇī, hearing.

2021-01-13 • Krishna is the Answer! • B.S.Goswāmī Mahārāja • CNX • [en]

00:02:17 Why Mahāprabhu takes sannyās?

00:13:51 Nimāi Paṇḍit’s gradual development of devotion.

00:18:27 Nimāi Paṇḍit goes to Gaya and receives initiation.

00:26:40 “Krishna is the answer!” Beginning of Nām-saṅkīrtan.

00:38:13 Nimāi Paṇḍit’s “malady.” Nocturnal kīrtans.

00:46:32 Mahāprabhu’s plan: how to deal with Kazi.

00:55:30 Considerations on taking sannyās.

Mahaprabhu will embrace the position of a sannyāsi, and He is mad after gopī-bhāva, so who is the crown jewel of sannyāsis—why is He obsessed with gopī-bhāva, the love possessed by Rādhārāṇī and the Vraja-gopīs for Krishna? So it is to show there isn’t even a remote trace of mundane aspects.

What is Krishna’s flaw—if He has one?—That He’s not a devotee.

If Krishna can be converted into a devotee—then who can not be converted into a devotee?—There is hope for everyone!

Why Mahaprabhu takes sannyās; Krishna as a devotee; guru-varga appears before Krishna; Advaita Acharya invites Mahaprabhu to descend; pastimes in Gaya; Nimai Pandit takes some dust from Īśvara Purī’s birthplace; the beginning of the preaching; growing renunciation; the students of Nimai Pandit; beginning of Nāma-saṅkīrtan; nocturnal kīrtans; dealing with Kazi; Narayani cries with Krishna-prem; to address Krishna is only through the Gopīs; considerations on taking sannyās; last evening in the house of Śachī Mātā asking Keśava Bharati for sannyās.
