Description
Questions on today's Swami call: 0:00 There appears to be innumerable possibilities of ways to meditate on the holy name during japa, such as the sound of Sri Krishna’s name itself, his form(s), qualities, pastimes, mercy, etc. Should one try to focus on something particular? 00:10:57 Is it true that Lord Narasimhadeva has three eyes? 00:16:22 When you come to the spiritual world, will there be godbrothers there waiting fo you and recognizing you, or will they get to know you afresh as a new person? 00:32:42 Should we see our work in the world as an extension of our spiritual practice and give ourselves fully when we are there, or should we rather spare our energy there? 00:43:24 In the Haribhakti-vilasa it is recommended to live on inherited money if possible, or to do the minimum work necessary for one’s maintenance and do as much sadhana as possible. Srila Prabhupada, however, recommended that we try to be the best in our field in our career and give the honor to Sri Krishna. Was the first recommendation meant for Indians 500 years ago and the other one meant for modern westerners? If one were to apply Srila Prabhupada’s recommendation to the field of law and try to become the best lawyer, how would one have time for sadhana? 00:50:01 Pranams, Guru Maharaja. In the Bhagavad-Gita, text 10.10, when it says that Sri Krishna gives spiritual intelligence, letting one understand how one will reach him. Is there a shift at a certain stage from using intelligence given by Sri Krishna and hearing him give advice directly from within? 00:55:05 How is Radha-dasyam different from dasya-rasa? And do priya-narma sakhas have Radha-dasyam?
