Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q&A; February 2, 2025: Honoring Sri Krishna's Friendship

0:00 With regards to Srimad Bhagavatam11.19.3, who does it mean that the perfect knowledge of the transcendentalist maintains God in happiness?3:50 In text 38 of the same chapter, it says that truthfulness means to speak the truth in a pleasing way. I have also heard that the truth should be spoken whether it's pleasing or not.Can you comment on this?16:38 Guru Maharaja, how can we see our work as part of our sadhana when it appears to be entirely mundane?25:10 With reference to Srila Prabhupada's purport to Bhagavad-Gita 2.34, how do I ensure that I am not misusing Sri Krishna's friendship, and what are some ways I might be misusing it?37:41 What is the best process for our bhajana?39:38 Why is the path of yoga recommended in the scriptures when it appears that it only brings the practitioner deeper into illusion as they become attached to the yogic siddhis?44:01 Dandavat pranama, Guru Maharaja. I was very moved by what you said in a lecture about the yajnapatnis, the wives of the brahmins in Krishna-lila. You said that the cowherd boys were very attracted to see the yajnapatnis after hearing about the sacrifices they had made. Can you elaborate more on this? Does it make a difference if the one who has sacrificed is a sadhana- or a nitya-siddha?51:09 How may sadhakas in the lower stages of sadhana approach descriptions of the aprakata-lila so as not to become confused about it's apparent mundanity?57:48 Dandavats, Srila Guru Maharaja. Can you speak on the idea that Arjuna and Kunti exist within the prakata-lila perpetually?
