Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q&A; September 10, 2023: Selfless Intimacy with Sri Krishna
Listen now
Description
I have heard that some devotees enter both Gaura and Krishna lila, while others enter only Gaura or Krishna lila. How could a Gaudiya Vaishnava enter only Krishna lila when Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so central to our understanding of Krishna lila? How can a sadhaka engage sustainably in atma-nivedanam? Do you know whether Sri Krishna feels guilty about creating jivas that are susceptible to come under the material energy and suffer? I feel that my desire to have a close relationship with Krishna is self-centered, and self-centeredness leads to suffering. It would seem that this desire needs to be purified before it can bear fruit. What do I need to do to achieve balance in this pursuit? Pranama, Guru Maharaja. Is it true that Sri Madhavendra Puri was a wish-fulfilling tree in Vraja lila? In Sri Caitanya-caritamrta there is mention of a love-quarrel between Lord Jagannatha and Saksi-Gopala. Is this described further anywhere? One school of philosophy argues that reality is ultimately the sum of all emotions and qualitative experiences. They also acknowledge the force of time. Can you comment on this with regard to our view that identifies Krishna with time? Whose voice was it that spoke to Kamsa from the sky during Vasudeva’s and Devaki’s wedding ceremony?
