What is the one sentiment you want to nurture in your mind every day that will increase your Love for God? (Like I will feed my Baby Krishna or Bal-Gopal every day, adorn him with new clothes and ornaments, etc.). Reply with your comments and inspire everyone.
One sentiment that I want to nurture is that I have a very close bond with Shyama and Shyamasundara, and always serving them in ways that please and make them happy
God is responsible for helping me to achieve my ultimate goal and He is my benefactor. Keeping that sentiment helps me to increase my faith and makes life easy.
When I drive car I keep this bhav in my mind that Hari guru is seated next to me. Sometimes I forget, now I will practice not to forget even once. Thank you so much Swamiji 🙏
I am doing Roop dhyaan during puja that I am offering the belpatra, flowers , holy water from all different rivers where I can not go and get but still feel it's with me and doing the Abhishek of Lord and he is accepting it . He is accepting all my offerings and putting his hand on my head . He is there with me in all ways always. That is the bhav I want to cultivate and strengthen. As I know that I have not reached that stage of bhav which I need to.
The scriptures tell us the whole world 🌎 is manifested from GOD and it is full of divinity. We cannot see it due to impurities of our own mind. Hanumanji says “I see Lord Shree Ram and Seeta Mataji in every one I meet “ while all Gopis says “wherever I look I see Lord Shree Krishna” . In devotion the Bhav (intentions, sentiments) matters most . Thanks 🙏 Shri Swamiji for the wisdom . Must watch video to know how to achieve the highest state of mind👏 nice examples given also 👍👌🙏
True - the more I think about it - more in awe I find myself. Why do we not see and feel God all around us. Such tremendous creation - who made it possible.
Several great points in what you stated. Hanuman's bhav for Lord Ram is so touching, I'm always reminded of how Hanuman bares his heart and there inside are Lord Ram and Sita Maa. If only we can cultivate such bhav...
''The higher the inspiration, the better the result ''.Thanks Swamiji for such a soul-nourshing n mind-illuminating message.So,we all should try to cultivate sweet sentimental devotion (Bhavas) towards God which pleases God the most.
This beautiful world is manifested from Lord and hence it is full of divinity but we cannot feel it due to our impure mind and sins of endless lifetimes . So we have to create that sentiments , i.e. BHAAV, towards our God , it’s names and forms . This way we will reach the highest state of mind 🙏 Thanks Shri Swamiji for teaching us the mindful wisdom 👏👍
This is such an eye-opening statement made by Pujya Swamiji! Our own impure mind and sins are preventing us from realizing the presence of the all-pervading Lord!
@@manjarik.gangwar-warty4679 And the fact that we take it for granted! Like right now during this pandemic, we are realizing the freedom that we had before.
I am so happy to know the importance of devotional sentiments which pleases the God most. Loved the story of Sansatan Goswami and the old lady who is serving Lord Krishna just as her Son. So much to learn from the sentiments of the old lady ho she feeds Krishna everyday. Initially Swamiji gave the beautiful example of the old blind lady whom Swamiji served when he was a kid was illustrating how we take it granted the divine miracles in the world. This reveals the impurity of our heart which doesn't let us see/feel gratitude every moment. The saints and devotees who purifies the heart they can see God in everyone and all places. Swamiji gave the examples of Gopis, Hanuman for their selfless devotion. The bhav pleases the God the most. We need to create loving emotions with the help of pictures, Deities... The important one is love. Amazing to understand what God mostly gets pleased with. Thank you Swamiji for the beautiful examples and wonderful sweet stories of devotees.
The world is full of wonder and divinity, yet we are not able to perceive it because of the impurities of our heart. Self-talk and visualization are a couple of tools we have learnt about to cleanse our heart. Swamiji discusses another tool today.
Yay! MMC Day #18 has arrived! Just 3 more MMC days left now! Wow, this journey has been really amazing. A journey of learning, discovering about our own self, reflection & evaluation of the self! This series and the book The Science of Mind Management both are the tools & manuals for living a beautiful life! Thank You Pujya Swami Ji and JKYog!
We must stop and take a moment to appreciate how beautiful this world is which is created by Krishna and keep in mind that our stay here is temporary and the purpose why we are here.
We need to cultivate true devotional sentiments towards God . Thank you Swamiji for telling us about true devotion .We have to deepen our relation to God by creating Bhav towards him .
Create sweet devotional sentiments when practicing sadhana, worshipping the Lord, or taking His name. God is hungry for our love alone. Such a beautiful message by Swamiji!
Deity Worship with "Bhav" is such a sweet and effective way to develop Love for God! People who do not understand, start denigrating this beautiful practice! Jai Ho for all the loving devotees, the Bhaktas of the world! Jai Ho! Jai Ho! It will be a real treat for all of us to really have the loving & sweet Bhav of Bhakti, that will take us closer to the Lord!
Swamiji narrates such a sweet story about his interaction with the blind lady who would have liked to see the clouds because she could not visualize clouds based on others’ description. Swamiji beautifully says that we take God’s creation for granted. Thank you for reminding us, Swamiji.
@@sundarakulkarni3657 God has arranged everything for us before our arrival to this world, Great parents, food shelter , water , air, trees, good education, etc., etc.,
Self-Talk, Visualization, and now it is "Bhav" or "Loving Sentiments"! 3 priceless practical gems to get to that Higher state of the Mind. No one could put it so simply, the way Pujya Swamiji has done it in this MMC Series! Thank you! Thank You!
Lovely to hear the story of the blind lady who Pujya Swamiji used to help, as a teenager! Very kind & compassionate person growing up, no surprise about it! Amazing lessons he learned through that experience and so thankful for sharing with us! This creation certainly has the divinity all around us and we are unable to perceive it! That is why when out of the rush of life, during a retreat or getaway , when we do actually slow down, and experience the present moment and creation and beautiful life around us, it becomes such a profound experience! We actually & truly start living during those moments!
The mind alone is the cause of bondage. With the powerful element of Bhaav or loving sentiments for God and Guru, the same mind can “bind to God”, and effortlessly become free from the cares of the world, always being absorbed in loving and serving Him alone. The trick to mind management then is to develop love for God.
So very true. Spirituality made easy on this channel and #MindManagementChallenge has brought to us the essence of the essence of the Vedic scriptures. Feeling blessed and fortunate!
He is a Master Storyteller, simplifies the complex subject, makes it practical in steps of 1,2 &3.. is devotional, and simply very effective! We just need to do our own part and follow these simplified steps that he is teaching us!
Swamiji so beautifully says that we need to remove the mental block that God is far away from us and love Him as our very own. By developing this sentiment, we will learn to love God because He reciprocates the bhav of the devotee. Thank you, Swamiji.
This is very true! And ironic. We feel that those who are powerless yet physically proximal are close to us/there for us all the time but we do not feel the presence of the omniscient, omnipotent, causelessly merciful Bhagwan? Once we overcome this, we will get closer to truly embarking on our spiritual journey.
I fail to understand our mind set that when God resides in us, how can He be far away from us?.Once we realize this with our love for Him, we will see Him in everyone and everywhere.
God only looks at sentiments in our heart and not the material offerings or physical drill pooja . Really love some examples of Sabari, Kevat, Meera bhai all great saints. Thanks for al the knowledge Swamiji. 🙏🏽
Childhood memories of watching Doordarshan shows on Ramanyan has pivotal importance in influencing and in creating sweet memories and Bhav towards God .
We must cultivate sweet, devotional sentiments, loving emotions towards God. Bhav is the highest state of mind. God always resides in a loving heart. Wonderful tool swamiji has given.
Our Bhaav in devotion is what pleases God the most. When we are full of loving sentiments for God, we will then perceive his wonder, divinity in His creation.
Lord is so kind that He gives freedom to His devotees to Love Him and Worship Him in infinitely different ways! No rules by the Lord, except the Bhav or Loving Sentiment! Human Beings are so foolish that we keep on going making all sorts of rules and creating boundaries of our own ego! Very Clear & Strong Message and yet communicated so sweetly through such lovely stories of the devotees and devotion! Live and Let Live, Love, and let Love in accordance with their own Bhav or Sentiments! Thank you!
Rules are necessary to successfully get to the college - then we can self sustained as we have been conditioned. Some basic discipline is helpful in the beginning - because of the nature of the way human mind is designed.
@@vrindaneel2172 Yes, Worldly rules and discipline is necessary to get through life. Here we are talking about Bhakti and Love for God! If we do everything else in rituals, rules etc.. and not have the Bhav or the Loving Sentiment, Lord will not care for it!
Programming the mind with the names and forms of God through chanting and remembrance is just one part of the puzzle. When we add love for God, it frees our mind from worldly desires and purify our mind
Its already 18 lectures past, hard to believe, I enjoy watching these lectures multiple times a week and my daughter sits with me eagerly waiting for the release. I have observed changes in her as well. Thanks to Jkyog team
Beautiful reminder from the story of blind lady to feel gratitude for the gifts almighty has bestowed upon us. Always keeping this in mind that he is the doer and all powerful makes me feel fearless and removes the anxiety.
The stories of devotees, god realized saints and god himself deepen our devotion and teach us how to worship him. It also teaches us what is of utmost importance on the path of devotion---i.e. sentiment or bhav in our heart. Instead of worrying about what ingredients are missing while performing pooja or any ritual, one must be aware of the bhav or attaching mind to Krishna.
Rules, rituals, and regulations are helpful, but we have to go further than that in our devotion. We have to add loving sentiments to every act offered to God. And with every moment, we can grow our bhav. As we do so, we will soon see the divinity that exists in everything and every where.
Swamiji so beautifully describes the meaning of devotional sentiments and we need to increase the quality of devotion or bhav on the spiritual path. Thank you, Swamiji.
I love the examples by swamiji to illustrate the importance of divine sentiments towards God! The example of Santana Goswami and the lady who fed lord krishna everyday with love is so enlightening.
Agree. Superficial offerings that are done to show the world or in order to get something in return is business. As I understand from Swamiji’s and Maharaj ji’s teaching and all other saints teaching-God only cares for Bhav.
God is everywhere in the world, including inside us. We have acquired so far so much knowledge, we need to keep revising it, and practice it. #MindManagementChallenge #HigherStateOfMind
Beautifully explained by Swamiji the incident of Sanatana Goswamiji.What a tremendous eye -opening message ! It revealed that the most important is ''to deepen our devotion with Bhava towards the names n different forms of God''.
We cannot perceive the divinity of the world because of the impurity of our mind! So beautifully explained by Swamiji! Lord Hanumanji saw Ram Sita in everyone! Such a wonderful tool for purifying our mind!
God is pleased if we do with devotion . Swamiji explained it with such a wonderful example of Sanatan Godwami who was doing his Bhakti with rituals and a mother who use to worship his Gopal with love .
Exactly! Often we do not realize this and are overly fussy about the logistics of the ritual, when it is the bhav with which we do it that really matters.
Sanatan Goswami’s story is so inspiring! Only selfless devotees of the Lord could tell him that he was being too demanding! How sweet! Thank you Swamiji.
This confusion of offerings to God with mere words & things as compared to offering with Bhav is cleared only when there is a pure heart and mind to understand that pure love for God is most important.
Very correct. These constitute our spiritual sadhana. Side by side we should work to reduce the influence of the world on us which takes us away from the path.
Loved the amazingly Devotional & powerful message of the supreme importance of "Bhav" or Loving Sentiment towards Bhagwan, in the MMC today! Stories covered will always be a sweet reminder when we get confused by the rules & regulations!
Deity worship has many regulations but if we have image of our Istha Dev (Worship able God) Only thing we need Loving Sentiments. God is pleased by Love only!
Yes. All these rules and regulations are necessary in order for to develop the Bhava. Once the Bhava is created, rules and regulations become redundant.
Today in daily sadhana session, Swamiji spoke about why god descends on earth. He descends to provide the basis for the devotion through his pastimes, names, leelas, forms, virtues and abodes. He also created the world for us to sustain and to stay healthy and enhance/ progress in our spiritual journey.
yes, when God descends he did kalyan of few people but his real intention was to provide the basis of devotion. Swamiji has taken so much of care in designing these daily sadhana program
When we have everything, we don’t enjoy the moment, we don’t feel gratitude, we don’t see god in nature. Thanks for the example of the old lady who is blind Swamiji. It makes me realize how many gifts we have from God and how badly we make use them .
Swamiji beautifully says that all of creation is the energy of God. We take creation for granted but those who are aware of this point, see God in everything and everyone. The Gopis also see Lord Krishna everywhere. This will occur if we purify our mind. Thank you, Swamiji.
There was so much of difference in devotion between the old Lady and Sanatana .Thank you Swamiji for explaining the simplicity we need in devotion and have made it so easy to connect with God !!
Such sweet song on the Mahima or Glory of "Bhav", by Pujya Swamiji!! Bhav hi bas saar hai! Bhav Kaa Bhookha Hun Mai! Hare Rama Hare Rama! Hare Krishna Hare Krishna!
Beautiful Beautiful! Another tool added by Swamiji for purifying the mind 'Bhav'or 'Sentiments' along with self -talk and Visualisation. Bhav or Sentiments is what pleases God the most in devotion. So heart touching lecture by Swamiji. Thank you.
I love the story of Santana who learned from an old lady (who was a devout devotee of Krishna) that there are no rules and regulations when you adopt path of bhakti (devotion). All that matters is your sentiment or love for god. It is so amazing to see how god arranges to get the salt.
As one engages in sweet devotional sentiments through His name and form, the desire for the experience of it becomes more and ever increasing through the Grace of God Himself. This eventually purifies our mind. Such a powerful message by Swamiji! Pranams!
God says "Bhav Ka Bhooka Hoon Main Aur Bhav Hi Bas Saar Hai". Beautiful message for us is to enhance our Bhav or loving sentiments in devotion towards God and attain his love, vision and grace. Thank you Swamiji.
We need to deepen our devotion with Bhav towards God’s name and his form. So that we start seeing him everywhere. Thanks Swami Ji for explaining us in a simplified manner.🙏🌹❤️🌺🙏
Why should we appreciate the World around us? 3 points: 1) the world manifested from God. 2) it is his energy and 3)there is divinity in each and every atom in this world. Gratitude is a MUST!
It is not that we are not grateful. We express this gratitude very fervently when some one does a small favor to us. However, we take things for granted that are provided by God due to impurity in our heart and that is the reason we are not appreciative.
I feel - that's the most important point in #MindManagementChallenge - to purify the mind - all else will fall in place then. So practical and smart whoever built this model.
In devotion the Bhava is the most important thing. The external forms of worship are props to develop this Bhava or Sentiment. There are strict rules and regulations as to how we should conduct our worship. But the goal of all these rules and regulations are the Bhava.
God is impressed to our "bhaav" . Swamiji has explained beautifully that how an old lady serves and loves God with a pure heart to please Him.She offered prasad to Him even without any principles in the forms of" Niyam nd Mantras".And God has quite happy for her selfless devotion.Thank you Swamiji for such wonderful discourse.🙏🙏

Agree with this great summary of today's message from Swamiji along with the stories he narrated.
what great summary, you have captured each and every point with such accuracy !
The world is full of wonder and divinity, yet we are not able to perceive it because of the impurities of our heart. Self-talk and visualization are a couple of tools we have learnt about to cleanse our heart. Swamiji discusses another tool today.
So true
Absolutely. This reminds me of another story Swamiji related - about the couple and their neighbor's newly 'clean' windows!
With a clean mind and heart, we perceive the pure sentiments of love towards God.
Very wonderful lecture.. very rightly said !!
Yes creating divine sentiments towards the Lord
Saints who purify their hearts see god in everything. The amount of appreciation we have on the day to day basis, tells us how pure our hearts are.
That is right. In other words, if we take anything for granted, we are not appreciating and to that extent our heart is not pure.
Self talk and visualization are the tools for the purification of the mind. Bhav " Sentiments " is the most powerful tool to cleanse the heart.
We need both aspects to develop I guess. Well summarized.
The tools of programming our subconscious:
1- self-talk
2- visualize
3- pure sentiments/bhav
Yes, we need pure mind and a pure heart to progress towards divinity
Well summarize....ultimately we need to have bhav of love....

Our Bhaav in devotion is what pleases God the most. When we are full of loving sentiments for God, we will then perceive his wonder, divinity in His creation.
So true!
Lord is so kind that He gives freedom to His devotees to Love Him and Worship Him in infinitely different ways! No rules by the Lord, except the Bhav or Loving Sentiment! Human Beings are so foolish that we keep on going making all sorts of rules and creating boundaries of our own ego! Very Clear & Strong Message and yet communicated so sweetly through such lovely stories of the devotees and devotion! Live and Let Live, Love, and let Love in accordance with their own Bhav or Sentiments! Thank you!
Rules are necessary to successfully get to the college - then we can self sustained as we have been conditioned. Some basic discipline is helpful in the beginning - because of the nature of the way human mind is designed.
@@vrindaneel2172 Yes, Worldly rules and discipline is necessary to get through life. Here we are talking about Bhakti and Love for God! If we do everything else in rituals, rules etc.. and not have the Bhav or the Loving Sentiment, Lord will not care for it!
God is won by our sentiments 💞💞💞
Programming the mind with the names and forms of God through chanting and remembrance is just one part of the puzzle. When we add love for God, it frees our mind from worldly desires and purify our mind
I feel that can happen through Grace only. We might think we did it - but is all the doing of God's Grace.
Swamiji is slowly and steadily, step by step has been solving this puzzle so that we can understand it!
well said Rima ji
Wonderful video thank you Swamiji for giving us the beautiful message.
Its already 18 lectures past, hard to believe, I enjoy watching these lectures multiple times a week and my daughter sits with me eagerly waiting for the release. I have observed changes in her as well. Thanks to Jkyog team
Yes. Swamiji always touches the heart of all age people. Thanks to Swamiji.
Wow! that's awesome!
It is helping everybody. So fortunate to be a part of it.
Beautiful reminder from the story of blind lady to feel gratitude for the gifts almighty has bestowed upon us.
Always keeping this in mind that he is the doer and all powerful makes me feel fearless and removes the anxiety.
Today's topic is going to be Awesome.. The name: " Highest state of Mind, How to get there? " itself rocking 🎸🎶🎶. Very eager to watch 🎥it.
Since God resides in the loving heart ,the Devotional Bhav(sentiment) pleases Him the most..Thank you Swamiji
The stories of devotees, god realized saints and god himself deepen our devotion and teach us how to worship him. It also teaches us what is of utmost importance on the path of devotion---i.e. sentiment or bhav in our heart. Instead of worrying about what ingredients are missing while performing pooja or any ritual, one must be aware of the bhav or attaching mind to Krishna.
Kulkarniji 🙏 Tumhi Khara Bolto ahe 👍👏👌
So true 🙏👌
Nicely said 👍👏 Kulkarni ji 🙏
Agree, Bhav is the real & most important ingredient for God realization.
Correct. We should not be overly concerned with the externals forgetting the inner sentiment.
Swamiji brings the divine gems of wisdom from the Vedic scriptures to enlighten us and deepen our devotion to God!
Rules, rituals, and regulations are helpful, but we have to go further than that in our devotion. We have to add loving sentiments to every act offered to God. And with every moment, we can grow our bhav. As we do so, we will soon see the divinity that exists in everything and every where.
beautifully put
True
Great point Preetiji.
Agree fully. Rules and rituals help only to some extent, we need the Bhav to a great extent
Bhav is so important !! Love today's lecture !!
Swamiji so beautifully describes the meaning of devotional sentiments and we need to increase the quality of devotion or bhav on the spiritual path. Thank you, Swamiji.
Beautifully said
Yes, the love has to come from a pure mind and heart .
yes, it is inner bliss which is difficult to explain !
the examples of hanumanji, gopis are beaautiful that how they see lord in eeveryone
Even Barbarik or Khatushyamji, the grandson of Bhimsen in Mahabharat saw Lord Krishna in everyone in Kurukshetra war.
listened to lot of hanumaji bhajans since child hood of his great devotion
Eagerly waiting for this video
We need to cultivate sweet devotional sentiments, bhav, toward God.
That's the same rule for material relations.
Concisely stated. I think visualization is also part of the process to cultivate bhav towards God.
Yes, that is the pathway towards the goal .
@@vrindaneel2172 I agree to this too for our everyday good state of mind.
Great lecture by Swami Ji on cultivating divine sentiments for God
Thank you Swamiji for explaining that GOD is pleased only with our loving sentiments towards HIM. Our bhaav is most important.
Good 1 liner explanation 👍👏👌🙏
Ushaji - nice summary of the video 👍👏👌🙏
Yes Bhaav is very much important 👍👌🙏👏
Wonderful Video by Swamiji! The highest state of mind is to see the divinity in everyone! Such a divine sentiment!
the story of goswamiji reveals that there is no rules to love the god, but we only have to worship him by giving bhav to him that pleases him most
Agree, besides some rules and regulations, the loving sentiments with a pure mind is important
what important is our mind and not the rules
Yes
I love the examples by swamiji to illustrate the importance of divine sentiments towards God! The example of Santana Goswami and the lady who fed lord krishna everyday with love is so enlightening.
Bhav is the most important aspect of devotion , God pleases with bhav only.
Absolutely
Agree, loving sentiments pleases God and helps us to progress towards divinity.
Agree. Superficial offerings that are done to show the world or in order to get something in return is business. As I understand from Swamiji’s and Maharaj ji’s teaching and all other saints teaching-God only cares for Bhav.
really swamiji, i take everything for granted , never see him in each and everyone, each and every particle, but i want to see
God is everywhere in the world, including inside us. We have acquired so far so much knowledge, we need to keep revising it, and practice it. #MindManagementChallenge #HigherStateOfMind
Yes, when MMC is almost getting over, we all need to get on this path for the practical implementation of these gems, if not started already!
So true, our minds are so fickle & careless that we need constant reminders.
Yes! Most important to watch again & again, review all Swamiji’s gems and practice practice practice 🙏.
Beautifully explained by Swamiji the incident of Sanatana Goswamiji.What a tremendous eye -opening message ! It revealed that the most important is ''to deepen our devotion with Bhava towards the names n different forms of God''.
Fill your heart with love God will stay in your heart
Beautiful
Well said Pushpaji!
So well said and agree completely.
We cannot perceive the divinity of the world because of the impurity of our mind! So beautifully explained by Swamiji! Lord Hanumanji saw Ram Sita in everyone! Such a wonderful tool for purifying our mind!
God is pleased if we do with devotion . Swamiji explained it with such a wonderful example of Sanatan Godwami who was doing his Bhakti with rituals and a mother who use to worship his Gopal with love .
Yes Heenaji every devotion requires that Bhav as explained in the example 🙏👍👏
Yes nice story of Santana GoSwamiji 🙏👏
Heenaji 🙏 yes right devotion need sentiments 👍👌👏
Even though some rituals may be needed, what is more important is loving sentiments towards God.
really swamiji, when i worship lord with bhav , then such a loving feeling come in my heart that starts melting it
God resides in a loving heart.🙏
Nicely stated Priyaji. We must fill our hearts with love, and God will happily reside in our hearts.
Beautiful story of Santana Goswami.
What a beautiful story of feeding story. What is offered is important but anything offered with bhav- sentiment of love is most important. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Exactly! Often we do not realize this and are overly fussy about the logistics of the ritual, when it is the bhav with which we do it that really matters.
Sanatan Goswami’s story is so inspiring! Only selfless devotees of the Lord could tell him that he was being too demanding! How sweet! Thank you Swamiji.
Our so called knowledge is a menace - our minds can't connect with that innocence.
This confusion of offerings to God with mere words & things as compared to offering with Bhav is cleared only when there is a pure heart and mind to understand that pure love for God is most important.
@@smitamehtadenton agree that it was so sweet and innocent the way he was arguing with God - only done by a selfless, God realized soul.
Chanting the names of the Lord, singing His glories and remembering His presence in our lives constantly will help us focus more on the spiritual path
Very correct. These constitute our spiritual sadhana. Side by side we should work to reduce the influence of the world on us which takes us away from the path.
true, I have heard if we chant God's name as many times as possible. God will hold our hands and protect his devotees
We do have to remember not to do those as rituals , but with love, devotion and a pure heart.
I get goose bumps listening to the bhav of devotees. 😢🙏 Ahu din kam aise ahu Hari jab hamare bhi bhav aise honge.
We need to deepen our devotion with emotions - 'Bhav'
Loved the amazingly Devotional & powerful message of the supreme importance of "Bhav" or Loving Sentiment towards Bhagwan, in the MMC today! Stories covered will always be a sweet reminder when we get confused by the rules & regulations!
Deity worship has many regulations but if we have image of our Istha Dev (Worship able God) Only thing we need Loving Sentiments. God is pleased by Love only!
I guess rituals and regulations help until we reach certain point. Nothing in this world is without a reason.
Rimaji 🙏 yes true only sentiments towards God matters most 👏👍👌😀
Agree, we have to go through various steps to reach those loving sentiments towards God.
yes, nicely said Rima Ji!
Yes. All these rules and regulations are necessary in order for to develop the Bhava. Once the Bhava is created, rules and regulations become redundant.
Beautiful message about the importance of bhav to our devotion. Very well explained by Swamiji.
Today in daily sadhana session, Swamiji spoke about why god descends on earth. He descends to provide the basis for the devotion through his pastimes, names, leelas, forms, virtues and abodes. He also created the world for us to sustain and to stay healthy and enhance/ progress in our spiritual journey.
Changle Jawaab Ahe “👍👏👌🙏 Kulkarni ji
🙏👍👏Good summary 👌
Good summary of Swamiji’s video 👏👍👌🙏
yes, when God descends he did kalyan of few people but his real intention was to provide the basis of devotion. Swamiji has taken so much of care in designing these daily sadhana program
When we have everything, we don’t enjoy the moment, we don’t feel gratitude, we don’t see god in nature. Thanks for the example of the old lady who is blind Swamiji. It makes me realize how many gifts we have from God and how badly we make use them .
Somehow gratitude and appreciation eludes our minds and that has to be one of the many things we need to appreciate and thank God for.
Swamiji beautifully says that all of creation is the energy of God. We take creation for granted but those who are aware of this point, see God in everything and everyone. The Gopis also see Lord Krishna everywhere. This will occur if we purify our mind. Thank you, Swamiji.
Yes, very well expressed
Swamiji nicely explained how important to purify our mind through loving sentiments towards God. Me too loved and inspired by the sentiments of Gopis,
Nicely stated Smitaji. If we see God in everyone, then we will develop forgiveness/tolerance.
@@kulkarnifamily1309 I wish I could put this in practice but this is really, really tough!
Seeing the divinity in others raises the belief in divinity that resides within ourselves. We see this with a purified mind.
There was so much of difference in devotion between the old Lady and Sanatana .Thank you Swamiji for explaining the simplicity we need in devotion and have made it so easy to connect with God !!
God resides in our heart. We need to feel his presence. Thanks Swamiji
We don't do the basics and keep wondering all over in search of God and Truth.
So true, once we realize and understand this, our path is clear.
Such sweet song on the Mahima or Glory of "Bhav", by Pujya Swamiji!! Bhav hi bas saar hai! Bhav Kaa Bhookha Hun Mai! Hare Rama Hare Rama! Hare Krishna Hare Krishna!
If we have loving devotion to God and we have good emotions such as love towards God we can worship him and he will accept us
Yes, loving God is very important and we should feel attached to him and think about him at all times.
So simple and true!
Exactly Adityaji. We must cultivate bhav for God.
Nurturing feelings of sincerity, positivity and chanting the Lord's name in our mind, makes us evolved day by day. Thank you Swamiji.
We should create a sweet sentiment during our prayers with roopdhyan.
Correct. A very good practice, I would say to develop devotion.
Yes that is the goal
Beautiful Beautiful! Another tool added by Swamiji for purifying the mind 'Bhav'or 'Sentiments' along with self -talk and Visualisation. Bhav or Sentiments is what pleases God the most in devotion. So heart touching lecture by Swamiji. Thank you.
Yes, today's tool was much Impressive!
I love the story of Santana who learned from an old lady (who was a devout devotee of Krishna) that there are no rules and regulations when you adopt path of bhakti (devotion). All that matters is your sentiment or love for god. It is so amazing to see how god arranges to get the salt.
Yes true such a nice 👍 story of Santana Swamiji ‘s devotion and bhav . 🙏👏👌
Truly said 🙏Kulkarni family ji👏
Yes it is great devotional story of Sanatana Goswamiji 👏👌🙏
True , such a inspiring story . I get goosebumps on hearing the story !
As one engages in sweet devotional sentiments through His name and form, the desire for the experience of it becomes more and ever increasing through the Grace of God Himself. This eventually purifies our mind. Such a powerful message by Swamiji! Pranams!
The foremost tool to make our Hearts pure is to fill it with sweet, loving sentiments or Bhaav for God.
We can do this by engaging in visualization through Roop Dhyan meditation.
MMC 18 is such a powerful gem of wisdom. Purifying our mind is so important to attain God's grace !!!
Bhav is the pran (life) of our sadhna.
Well said.
God says "Bhav Ka Bhooka Hoon Main Aur Bhav Hi Bas Saar Hai". Beautiful message for us is to enhance our Bhav or loving sentiments in devotion towards God and attain his love, vision and grace. Thank you Swamiji.
We need to develop loving sentiments towards God, which will help purify our mind.
Wonderful morning motivation by Swamiji ❤
We need to cultivate sweet devotional sentiments towards God
child hood reading of Amar Chitra khata of God and Goddess has helped me in developing the sweet memories
Very true
We need to deepen our devotion with Bhav towards God’s name and his form. So that we start seeing him everywhere. Thanks Swami Ji for explaining us in a simplified manner.🙏🌹❤️🌺🙏
Why should we appreciate the World around us? 3 points: 1) the world manifested from God. 2) it is his energy and 3)there is divinity in each and every atom in this world.
Gratitude is a MUST!
So well said & summarized.
Nicely said!
Kan Kan mein Ram and Rom Rom mein Shyam.....
nicely said, where the God is divinity is present. We just have to purify our mind to see it.
It is not that we are not grateful. We express this gratitude very fervently when some one does a small favor to us. However, we take things for granted that are provided by God due to impurity in our heart and that is the reason we are not appreciative.
I'm super excited!!
Yes me too!
Saints who purified their own mind can see God everywhere
I feel - that's the most important point in #MindManagementChallenge - to purify the mind - all else will fall in place then. So practical and smart whoever built this model.
Agree, a pure mind can visualize God everywhere like in the stories we have heard so many times.
Swamiji and Maharaj ji are the best in teaching us how to do bhakti, how to create bhaavna and enjoy the bliss of God.
So true. We are fortunate to have this opportunity.
Amazing to understand what God mostly gets pleased with. Thank you Swamiji for the beautiful examples and wonderful sweet stories of devotees.
In devotion the Bhava is the most important thing. The external forms of worship are props to develop this Bhava or Sentiment. There are strict rules and regulations as to how we should conduct our worship. But the goal of all these rules and regulations are the Bhava.
Agree, the external props are necessary in the initial stages of devotion. Once the connection is made, we can do mental devotion
Yes, the real goal is Bhava or true sentiments.
@@nk9790 true purity of mind and bhava is what Lord is hungry for .
God is impressed to our "bhaav" . Swamiji has explained beautifully that how an old lady serves and loves God with a pure heart to please Him.She offered prasad to Him even without any principles in the forms of" Niyam nd Mantras".And God has quite happy for her selfless devotion.Thank you Swamiji for such wonderful discourse.🙏🙏
We all want to know what is the highest state our mind and how we can achieve it. Day 18 MMC is here to tell us how to do it! #PerfectYourMind
I loved the each every discourse in this MMC series by Swamiji. I am too eagerly waiting for the discourse today
