First Purify Ourselves - HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj | 5 Star #3

In this beautiful lecture, HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj explains how one who truly understands the transcendental nature of the Lord’s birth and activities never has to take birth again in this world full of suffering. Maharaj explains how Devki and Vasudeva went through great pain as they saw their own children killed one after another. Still, they patiently accepted this suffering for the sake of the Lord. In the same way, when we are ready to let go of our personal attachments and comforts, the real Janmashtami takes place within our hearts—Krishna appears in our hearts. But to reach that stage, we must overcome the six enemies within us: lust, anger, greed, pride, envy, and illusion. These stop us from purifying our minds and hearts. Only when we fight and overcome these can we truly surrender to Krishna and serve Him selflessly. Happy and realized hearing. In Your Service, ISKCON Margao
