Manjari Bhav Part 1 | Sri Vinod Babaji Maharaj

  Sri Bhagvan comes down to Earth in every Yuga, but nobody ever gave the Manjari mood of devotion to the world. "Anarpita charim chirat" The Manjari mood of devotion has been given by Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu only. The mood of loving devotion (Prem bhakti) existed before Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (as seen in Shrimad Bhagvatam in the life stories of Sri Prahladji, Sri Dhruvji, etc). Madhurya love was not new to the world at the time of Shri Mahaprabhu, but He mercifully gave the Manjari mood of love to the world. Rati (love) is classified in three types: Sadharan Rati, Samanjasya Rati and Samartha Rati. Sadharan Rati (General love) is seen in Mathura lila, where the young, female residents of Mathura were attracted to the beauty and power of Sri Krishna and hence, fell in love with Him. Samanjasya Rati (Concordant love) is seen in Dwarika lila, where the queens of Sri Krishna loved Him as their husband (and hence, the lover and the beloved are equals). Samartha Rati (Capable...

Renunciation (Vairagya) & Women | Sri Vinod Babaji Maharaj

  Sridhar Swami says in his commentary about the word ‘Vairagya’ (Renunciation) that one cannot get immersed in the contemplation of God and relish the divine bliss of His pastimes until he develops Vairagya (indifference to material world). Attachment to worldly possessions and people is the cause of impurity of heart that does not let the Jivatma achieve divine bliss. Vairagya means detachment, disinterest or indifference to body and everything related to it.

Such a temporary thing can never give pleasure to the eternal Self. It only causes an illusion of pleasure to give disappointment in the future. Attachment to such things does not allow us to progress in bhajan and experience divine bliss. The master – servant relationship between God and the Jivatma is et...

First Stage of Bhakti | Shraddha | Sri Vinod Babaji Maharaj

Shri Shri Binod Bihari das Babaji is my Shri Gurudev. His satsangs are like the sweet extraction of all shastras and Gaudiya theories. On request of some devotees, I have tried to translate some of his sweet nectarine since those are in hindi and many devotees from outside India do not know this language. Although. I am a great fool and have no right to make meaning of his satsang, I am just translating his satsang as he said it so that the devotees who don't understand hindi can themselves extract the meaning out of his satsang. I am sure there will be many grammatical mistakes as well as other mistakes in translating the satsang as Baba wanted it to be understood, but I hope you all will forgive me :) - Yashoda Gurucharan Dasi There are three phases of bhakti i.e., Sadhan Bhakti, Bhava Bhakti and Prem Bhakti which in totality have nine stages in ascending order:  Shraddha, Sadhu-sanga, Bhajan-kriya, Anartha-nivritti, Nishtha, Ruchi, Asakti, Bhava and Prem . Sadhan Bhakti cons...
