What are the most important things in devotional life? Mahaprasade govinde Naam brahmani vaishtave swalpa punyavrtam rajan vishwasu ne vajayate. So, what it says over these verses? Actually, initially our vishwas is very little.
Swalpa. Mahaprasade naam brahmani vaishtave swalpa punyavrtam rajan. Because of swalpa punyavrtam, because of having less punyavrtam, vishwasu ne vajayate.
We don’t have faith in the person of bhakti. These three activities. Mahaprasade govinde naam brahmani vaishtave.
So, taking Mahaprasad, chanting the names of naam brahmani, chanting the names of Krishna and vaishtave, associating with devotees. These three are activities by which we increase our punyavrtam and by that our vishwas increases. Now, these three things, the third is most important.
Vaishtave. Because if we associate with devotees, they will give us prasad and they will ask, are you chanting? So, by that, by associating with devotees, other two things will also happen. So, if we associate with devotees regularly, then everything else that is required in bhakti will happen.
And associating with devotees is not just a social club. We come together, we eat together, that’s fine. It’s for spiritual understanding.
That’s why we come in association with devotees, we discuss philosophy, we understand the philosophy and then we move forwards in our life. So, association is the single most important thing for us to grow in life. So, in association, practice the limbs of bhakti, understand the philosophy and chant Hare Krishna, take prasad.
That way we can move forwards in our life. So, yeah, that’s my thing.
