This is an all-important lecture when we are dealing with god's grace and self effort .I think god's grace by performing devotion in any ways such as ; Nabadha bhakti as Swamiji explained here has more significance than self effort ,however ,self -effort is necessary to start out the devotion .
Such a beautiful and captivating way to show the simplest way to Bhakti and Shakti of Bhakti to get grace of God . We are blessed to have such saints who come our way in our life 🙏
Bhakti is the purest form of love......and love is the ultimate intellectual bond with the supreme Lord. Having faith in the scriptures and complete surrender to the Love of the Lord will save us from all miseries of the world. Thankyou Swamiji for this vivid and unique explanation of the precious verse of the Holy Bhagvat Gita 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love for God is the ultimate and noblest of paths to follow, as Swamiji beautifully explains...to use our talents gifted by God for his pleasure is the best service.❤❤❤
All the scripture talk about to Love God. The purification of heart comes by our self efforts and by the grace of God. So beautiful explanation by Swamiji.
No one can be. happy in this 'Mirtulok' and no one can escape death! We are struck in this life/death cycle. Surrender to God and receive his grace. Keep doing your austerities. Thank you, Swami ji 🙏🕉
Thank you Swamiji to remind us about the KarmYog through beautiful verses and examples🙏🏻. We implement the KarmYog by His and Guru’s grace as well as our intentions. Our exclusive love for Krishna simplifies our devotional path! Thank you Swamiji 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Radhey Radhey!
Bhakti, as Swamiji elucidated, is the pure and natural expression of love towards God. It resonates simplicity, embodying the innate inclination to adore the divine. Throughout various scriptures, the essence remains consistent: love for God. This fundamental principle unifies diverse spiritual teachings, emphasizing the universal significance of devotion.
Thankyou! Swamiji for clearly explaining about bhakti and loving God. All the activities we do should include samarpan bhav towards God. If we can read, write, sing and dance etc and other actions as a devotional activity then we are going towards God. Thankyou Swamiji for the knowledge you are spreading.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The only way to get rid from the cycle of birth and death is to come out from this worldy love and pleasure. The nature of worldy love is self seeking pleasure which leads to different types of sufferings. But the love for the supreme lord is for his happiness not for ourselves. So nicely explained by swamiji. 🙏
Radhey Radhey Swamiji 🙏 We keep forgetting that what we r enjoying is the Supreme’s Blessings. Therefore we need to show the gratitude and utilise these blessings in glory of the God. Thank you Swamiji for reminding us 🙏
When we come closer to God we dedicate our actions and intentions to God, we do things for his sake and keeping him in our thoughts. We should realise his presence with us all the time and feel his protection for us.
Both grace of God and self effort are required to attain the ultimate realisation. Swamiji very beautifully explained the essence of all scriptures is LOVE 🙏🙏🙏
Whatever we are doing in world we should do for the pleasure of God.We should worship Him single mindedly.We should love Him.By which we can go beyond this ocean of birth and death.
Radhey Radhey! What an amazing video! I like the part where Swamiji explains the philosophy of service to mankind is service to God. If you are living on earth, make sure we do charity as that is the only way to pay back for what we enjoy on earth. Thank you for guiding us. Our humble pranams at your lotus feet.
Believing that God is the only doer of everything and we dedicating everything to him ..Full samarpan....Is the only way we can serve him and give pleasure to him... Radhey Radhey 🙏
Swamiji illumines our mind with divine knowledge from the Bhagavad Gita.. Shree Krishna beautifully explains to Arjun that he will deliver the soul from this material existence if we are totally surrendered to him with loving devotion..
The foundation of devotional service to God is the ultimate faith we place in Him, believing that no matter what happens, God is with us. With unwavering trust in the Supreme, He showers us with His blessings. ❤
Loving to everything with God's presence and realisation is the first and final work of all devotees. So Prem and Bhakti are important to develop our Spirituality. Thank you Swamiji.... Radhe Radhe 🙏💐♥️
So beautifully explained why & how we should and can dedicate our actions to the Supreme. ❤ Service to others is the rent we pay for our boarding on this Earth!! 🙏🏽
So many great examples shared here. Wonderful!!! Swami ji always gives practical examples and real world solutions. To love god is all we need to do and everything else will follow
Radhey radhey. Very very beautiful and swamiji makes it so easy to understand. Love to God is everything . While eating , playing , doing any action, listening ,every moment thinking of God , his past time, Leela, gun and dham etc . Positively thinking about his presence everywhere is great Love .
Indeed the only way one can be happy in this life is to view one’s participation in the divine material creation is An act of service your doing for your beloved divine couple
We are god’s jiva Shakti. He is always with us, doesn’t even separate for 1/100th second. But our identification with body and mind and attachment to material world from infinite lifetimes haa ruined everything. We must realise this and follow our guru’s teaching.
In the midst of life’s trials and tribulations, swamiji’s teachings guide us towards liberation from suffering and the eternal cycle of birth and death. Embracing his wisdom brings clarity and peace to our spiritual path.
We must face challenges in life . We fulfill our goal by self effort and by the grace of God. We must attach our mind to God and dedicate all our works to God.
Since we knew the absolute truth from our Gurudev , all we need to do is follow Swamiji’s teachings and instructions to continue this journey of life. Surrender completely to God and Guru and have faith in Them ALONE.
All the scriptures indicate that the ultimate goal is love for God. So all our efforts in the way of life if we can divert for the pleasure of God, the major part of our journey is full filled.
Radhey Radhey!!Spirituality is all about clarifying and purifying the intention.When the intention for the actions we do are for the pleasure of God,we receive His grace to cross the cycle of birth and death.This is the path of Bhakti🙏
Yes, very true. Even though a person may be most knowledgeable, intelligent, hard working, but with the absence of Love to God, everything is futile. Even if we put lots of efforts, but God's grace is the most important thing. Before making any effort, it needs to be first blessed by God.
In order to attain self realization we need both, the grace of God and self effort. With effort we first need to cleanse our hearts and then only we can receive the grace of God!
Amazing way of explaining the truth that this world is not meant for pleasure and death called is inevitable even if we put best efforts. I compare this to studies, we go to school and college to pursue some knowledge, it's a period to seek knowledge and do austerities like wake up early in the morning, giving up pleasures like movies and hanging out with friends as per the demand. Instead giving priority to studies, we indulge in pleasure seeking we loose in our life, we fail in the exams. This world too is a University of Hardknocks as Swamiji says. We should not indulge in material pleasure, should make service and devotion as high priority like Shabari and we could make it successful by keeping faith on God. With His grace, one day we will reach the goal of God realisation.
Love is a powerful word! In everything and in every moment we want love and happiness. But worldly love is self seeking which gives us all types of sufferings. So we have to turn our face towards God and do our work for His pleasure with great care and love and wait patiently for His grace.
Swamiji, This video is so powerful and answered all my questions which are there in my heart from many years. I move forward with faith from this moment onwards and following your guidance and put in my efforts from my side with intention that I'm doing only for my Bhagwan Sitaramam's pleasure. I'll wait for his grace through you and keep doing my bhakti❤❤❤❤
Bhakti is so simple. We don't have to announce renunciation from the material activities we normally do. We just have to do it for the pleasure of God.❤️🙏
All the scriptures of the world are teaching us to love God. And if anybody can understand this ,then he is the knower of all these scriptures. Wonderful explanation by Swamiji.
swami ji i really wish you recieve more of krishna's love...i also used to think that the word is maya and a painful place because of which i was living a miserable life.....thnx to your srimad bhagwatam lecture in which you thought how to love kanha .....trust me now i don't even want mukti life here itself as become so amazing ......
Watching this video was truly transformative. It's amazing teachings continue to inspire and guide us towards a life of inner peace and fulfillment. Thank you, Swamiji, for sharing this enlightening perspective."
We need to put in our best efforts in whatever we do or perform . And to top it all, we must dedicate all our efforts and our hard work with pure love ,under the lotus feet of god which will definitely lead us towards the path of success ❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Life is full of obstacles; regardless of our riches, social standing, or level of education, we can never find inner peace unless and until we seek solace in spirituality. Our intentions are made clearer and purer by spirituality. Devoting all of our efforts to God's delight ought to be our goal. Put differently, we can attain Krishna if we nurture love feelings for him with a single-minded commitment. This is the easy way to get in touch with God. Here, Shri Krishna is giving us a wonderful opportunity to connect with him for ever to nurshe ourselves with his immense love and fulfillment. We name this path Bhakti, or love. It possesses a power that even subjugates God.
Such a beautiful video.. It cleared all the doubts and it's true, the ultimate purpose of all scriptures is to teach us love for god. If we learn how to love god, then we can become the all knower.❤ Thankyou swamiji 🙏

तपः प्रभावात् देव प्रसादात् च - Both self-effort and divine grace are essential to attain the ultimate goal of our life. As Shri Aurobindo put it so nicely, "There are two great powers alone that can effect in their conjunction the great and difficult thing that is the aim of our endeavor: a fixed and unfailing aspiration that calls from below and the divine grace that answers from above." But as Lord Krishna has said elsewhere in the Bhagavad Gita, मत् प्रसादादवाप्नोति शाश्वतं पदमव्ययम् - the ultimate destination, the Param Pada, will only be attained by My Grace. So, through sadhana (self-effort) we have to attract that divine grace which will cause God-realization - the ultimate attainment.
I always love hearing Swamiji talk about this subject. The point of all the scriptures in the world is to teach love for God, our loving father. If we can understand this then we are the knowers of the Vedas, the Bible, the Quran, the Tanakh, and the other scriptures of the world.
This is an all-important lecture when we are dealing with god's grace and self effort .I think god's grace by performing devotion in any ways such as ; Nabadha bhakti as Swamiji explained here has more significance than self effort ,however ,self -effort is necessary to start out the devotion .

Beautifully explained. Path of Bhakti and love for God! 🙏
Bhakti is the most beautiful path in spiritual journey. Through Bhakti we could attain the love of God through his Grace.
Bhakti is a spontaneous and natural path
When we come closer to God we dedicate our actions and intentions to God, we do things for his sake and keeping him in our thoughts. We should realise his presence with us all the time and feel his protection for us.
We should dedicate all our actions to God and perform them as His service.

I think with self effort in a sincere manner, we'll automatically get the God's grace
But again everything depends on correct intention
