Pujya Bhaishri Speaks on Sri Lanka Tragedy in Chennai Katha

Shrimad Bhagavat Katha by Pujya Bhaishri at Chennai, India, begun on 23^rd April 2019. Pujya Bhaishri will narrate the katha for eight days at Vaishnav College Campus.

Thoughts shared on days 1 and 2 by Pujya Bhaishri are shared below. In addition, Pujya Bhaishri speaks on the tragedy of Sri Lanka and shows us the way to God as Satyam (Truth), Shivam (virtuousness) and Sundaram (beauty).

• In the age of Kaliyug, Lord Krishna is giving us darshan in the form of Shrimad Bhagavat as well as guiding us. Bhagavat is what God has spoken.
• A devotee does not want anything from God but desired God only.
• The matured state in knowledge is known as devotion and the matured state in devotion is known as knowledge.
• A devotee in reality is not sorrowful but is perceived to be in sorrow by the world.
• Communism, socialism and capitalism have their pros and cons. One without cons is Yagya karma (actions performed by following karma yoga). Whatever I possess in not mine nor the society’s. It belongs only to God. Hence it is Prasad which we must eat after distribution.
• A moonless night will become Deepavali if we attempt to remove darkness by lighting a lamp. In addition, if one tries to oppress another, then a full-moon night will turn into Holi.

Watch video on the speech by Pujya Bhaishri during the katha on tragedy in Sri Lanka. Pujya Bhaishri said that Dharma is nectar but unhealthy people have turned it into poison. How does society become spiritually and socially healthy once more? In light of this tragic event and the recent one in New Zealand, Pujya Bhaishri leads all through a universal prayer:

“May we traverse from untruth to truth, from darkness to light and from death to immortality. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.”
