Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q&A; August 27, 2023: Blessed and Informed Kirtan
Listen now
Description
In the chapter on sakti-tattva in Java-Dharma, it is said that cit-sakti, jiva-sakti, and maya-sakti are three aspects of svarupa-sakti. Furthermore, it is said that hladini, samvit, and sandhini are three manifestations of svarupa-sakti that acts on the three aspects. Can you explain this? In the Bible it is said that humans should be good stewards of nature. Is there any similar statement in our scriptures? How can humility and leadership be reconciled? Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura said that Vaishnavas sometimes glorify Bhagavan directly by praising him and other times indirectly by opposing non-Vaishnava thought. Can you comment on this? I heard from Srila Narayana Maharaja that kirtan performed without the presence a madhyama bhakta is like the barking of dogs. What do you think about this? Is vatsalya-rasa superior to sakhya-rasa? Why would Sri Krishna want me in his life? Could it be said that madhurya and sakhya are the two superior rasas as Sri Sri Gaura Nitai are distributing them? Why did Balarama not fight at Kuruksetra if he was a ksatriya? How would you recommend us to meditate on the Jhulana-yatra? If we have received mantras from more than one guru, should we think of one of the gurus as primary? Is diksa not as important as the blessing to chant the holy name?
