Description
Questions on today’s Swami call:
0:00 News.
0:20 Bhakti is ever-fresh and will naturally express itself in newer and newer ways through acaryas. At the same time, the desire to share bhakti in new ways could be an anartha, and so could the desire to hear about bhakti in new ways. Can you help me understand the distinction?
5:09 Srila Rupa Goswami writes that an uttama-adhikari is sastra-nipuna, a scriptural genius. How can we differentiate such a devotee from someone who is merely interested in presenting bhakti in novel ways?
15:43 It seems that modern society has a boredom phobia, and it also affects devotees. Is it not okay to simply accept that our sadhana can be boring sometimes?
20:01 Is there a hidden or special reason that Lord Balarama did not side with the Pandavas during the Kuruksetra war?
24:20 Guru Maharaja, I feel that you have exemplified the true character of sannyasa ashram. Even so, would you ever consider renouncing the renounced order?
32:35 I was wondering if you could also speak on babaji vesha or an orderless vow of renunciation for devotees in the Bhaktivinoda parivara?
43:32 Pranama. Could you please share some insights about the panca-tattva?
48:56 Pranama, Maharaja. Could you kindly share some essential teachings about the limb of bhakti called kirtan?
56:10 Can you shed light on that ontological relationship between Lord Balarama and Sri Ananga Manjari?
