2. Again Swami says that I am telling you one thing about the power of sharanagati. Its test happens with the bhagat of God. Did Karna have an issue with Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd. This is considered to be a greater avatãr than the others, as Shree Krishna possessed all of the powers of Bhagvãn, whereas other avatãrs possessed less power. Shree Krishna conveyed the message of love and humanity to the world. Also, He recited the epic poem, the Bhagvad Geetã, to Arjun in which He stated: ‘Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I shall incarnate myself as a human to save the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, and to establish dharma. I come into being from yug to yug’. 2) In the Vachanãmrut, Shreeji Mahãrãj also uses the name “Shree Krishna” to describe Bhagvãn Purushottam Nãrãyan. Tap to open in glossary → 3.

Neighbors are called derani-jethani, right? So there is never any equality there. So there was an issue there. 5. A bhagat who sits next to God, if one has an issue with him, then the ashra becomes false. One who falls from a sadhu and from God, that one who falls from a sadhu and a haribhagat, is also considered to have fallen from God. And is also considered to have fallen from satsang satsang 1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.

Have you seen Girnar from a distance? 12. Huh? What? Haven't seen it? 13. How would you have seen it? It's not visible from here, from Hyderabad. From a distance, the mountains look beautiful, beautiful, such a nice shape is visible, but if you go there, no shape or form comes into your hand, what comes into your hand are stones. Stones come into your hand there, no shape comes into your hand. 14. So from a distance, the mountains are beautiful. If we worship a nearby stone, then maybe it will be useful someday.
