Secrets of the Ascetic Sages | Sri Acharyaji lecture

PART TWENTY Kulashekhara Maharaja was a Chakravartin (a sage-king) and one of the twelve saintly Alvars of the ancient Vaishnava tradition. He was born in 2075 BC. His famous written work is the Mukunda Mala Stotra, a highly devotional hymn dedicated to Bhagavan Sri Krishna. This livestream/satsangha is the first installment of a series of commentaries on this important work delivered by Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya. It will be followed by a Q&A. "O mankind, with arms raised high I declare the truth! Any mortal who chants the names Mukunda, Nṛsiḿha, and Janārdana day after day, even in battle or when facing death, will come to regard his most cherished ambitions as no more valuable than a stone or a block of wood." (Mukunda Mala Stotra, 40) "Raising my arms, I utter this compassionate advice as loudly as I can: If those ascetic sages want to be delivered from the terrible, poisonous condition of material life, they should have the good sense to constantly hear the mantra Auḿ Namo Nārāyaṇāya." (Mukunda Mala Stotra, 41) "My mind cannot turn from Śrī Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet, even for a moment. So let my dear ones and other relatives criticize me, my superiors accept or reject me as they like, the common people spread evil gossip about me, and my family's reputation be sullied. For a madman like me, it is honor enough to feel this flood of love of Godhead, which brings such sweet emotions of attraction for my Lord." (Mukunda Mala Stotra, 42) _____________________________________ We can only continue to produce these vitally important spiritual videos with your generous support.
