 Swami BAP | 082 | Money Ruins the World | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:47:46

Money is a certain energy and it has the tendency of growing, it becomes more and more and more. There is a famous saying which says that the rich become richer and the poor poorer. Why the rich become richer? Because they use their riches to create circumstances in which the poor people cannot rise. This is called eliminating competition.

 Swami BAP | 081 | Summary of Oida Therapy | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:14:40

Humanity is in great need for some new revival of spiritual, mystical, non-sectarian consciousness which puts love first and doctrine second. Because if love is first then doctrine will be helpful to realize more love, but if doctrine is first it usually becomes dogma and dogma is often being executed without love which results in loss of faith.

Sit in a comfortable position, either in a yoga posture or in a chair which is not too soft. Try to keep your column in a position as straight as you can do comfortably. Now mentally thank all those who have helped you along your way, both physically as well as spiritually.

 Swami BAP | 079 | Sri Siksastakam | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:58:49

Only dearest confidants are entitled to enter into the night-pastimes of Radha-Krishna. Sakhis always try for the union of Radha-Krishna. Actually Radha-Krishna are very much eager for mutual union at night. When Radha-Krishna's union is manifest, Vrinda devi with dearest Sakhis worship Radha-Krishna in various ways. After that Radha-Krishna with those Sakhis move in the forest, sing songs and perform the rasa-lila with dancing. Our revered guru-varga used to caution us by saying that only eligible votaries can remember the pastimes of Radha-Krishna of midday at Radha-kunda, dusk-pastimes and night-pastimes of rasa-lila. To meditate on this lila is a great privilege for those who are actually surrendered devotees.

 Swami BAP | 078 | Internal symptom of devotion | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:49:50

The internal symptom of devotion is a stage of perfection. On that stage one worships Krishna in the mood of separation (vipralamabha). The Siksastakam describes this mood as follows: "My dear Lord Govinda, because of separation from you, I consider even a moment a great millennium, tears flow from my eyes like torrents of rains and I see the entire world as void. In my agitation a day never ends, for every moment seems like a millennium. Pouring incessant tears, my eyes are like clouds in the rainy season. The three worlds have become void because of separation from Govinda. I feel like I was burning alive in a slow fire."

 Swami BAP | 077 | Srila Prabhupada | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:46:10

Srila Prabhupada is the saviour of our soul. Of course he would give all the credit to Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda, but I knew that through him so he is my saviour. Srila Prabhupada was not only a saviour in the world of individual meditation processes and speaking about transcendence, he was also that utmost revolutionary of giving a spiritual guidelines and clarity to the whole world on how they should behave, how they can solve their problems, socially, politically, economically, etc. He was clearly a representative of the Absolute Truth even though he did not emphasize it, his only emphasis was that he tried to serve his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada.

 Swami BAP | 075 | Attachment to a sadhu | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:09:55

Even though attachment is the root cause of material downfall and pain, if that attachment is transfered to a sadhu and Krishna then that very attachment will automatically open the door to liberation. Have you ever seen an automatic door? You can see them in the Airports in Europe. You approach the door and by electronic sensor the door opens, knowing that somebody is coming. In a similar way your hearts feelings are scanned by a spiritual sensor and the obstruction from leaving this material world is removed automatically, with the attachment to a sadhu in your heart the doors to liberation opens, that means the door into the life of purity, the door into goodness, the door into dharma, the door into devotion.
