Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q&A; April 21, 2024: The Atmosphere Created Through In-Person Hari-Katha

0:00 News00:00:41 Dandavats pranam, Guru Maharaja. Why is it that Sri Krishna sometimes refers to himself in third person in the Bhagavad-Gita?00:01:59 Should we always refer to Sri Krishna himself or should we sometimes use terms like Paramatma?00:11:18 Is Bhaktivedanta a title given to devotees who have studied at a high level?00:18:45 Would you like to share about what the difference was between the version of the sannyasa-mantra you received from Srila Prabhupada and the one you received from Srila Sridhara Maharaja?00:24:20 Sometimes it is taught that we should worship Sri Krishna because the spiritual world is the only place where we will be happy, whereas the material world only brings suffering. In my case, I worship Sri Krishna because I am interested in who he is and what he wants from me. At the same time, I want my material situation to be good, including relationships. Does this mean I have not yet let go of the thought that one can find happiness in this world?00:37:19 Some devotees say that Lord Jagannatha is Srimati Radharani in the mood of Sri Krishna, whereas Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Sri Krishna in the mood of Srimati Radharani. Have you heard anything about this?00:42:51 Devotees in higher stages feel themselves fallen whereas beginners may want recognition for being good devotees. Is this an obstacle for the beginner devotees?00:55:03 Is something lacking in hearing the guru speak on the Srimad Bhagavatam online that is there if one attends in person?
