Divine Devotional Diaglogs
Srimad Bhagavatam – Canto XI, Part 1
January 2010
During the week of January 18 – 22, 2010, Br. Uddhav Chaitanya tuned us to listen to divine devotional dialogs. One of them was Narad ji’s narration of a conversation among Raja Nimi and the Nava Yogis (9 sons of King Rishabha, 4th generation of Swaayambhu Manu). The essence of Bhagavad Dharma is in the following mantra (chant)
Kayena vacha manasendriyair va, buddhyatmana va, prakriteh svabhavat Karomi yadyat, sakalam parasmai, Narayanayeti samarpayami.
Follow the simple practice of dedicating (samarpayami) all our interactions to a higher altar (Narayana). This is the best cleansing method and is guaranteed to purify us. As is characteristic of Naradji’s visits, He certainly instills the Bhakti bhav (devotional attitude). We just have to be ready to receive Him!
Another such divine dialog was Shri Krishna’s response to Uddhav ji, His cousin who was instructed to be a renunciate instead of joining the Lord during His final moments. Shri Krishna explains what Dattatreya learned from his 24 gurus. These elements (Earth, Air, Space, Water, Fire, Moon, Sun, Pigeon and Python) have so much to teach us … as mentioned earlier, we simply have to be ready to receive the instructions!
There are many more opportunities to tune to these dialogs. These satsangs (divine dialogs!) are scheduled to continue from Feb. 01 to Feb. 05, 2010. Join us to find out what the rest of the 24 gurus have to say.
