The Holy Land and the Path of Devotion
A bilingual satsang discourse on the nature of holy lands, divine incarnation, and the path of devotion.
"Where the holy saint is, there is nityāvatāra, everyday incarnation, and nimitāvatāra is time to time, 'yuge yuge sambhavāmi,' every yuga I come through my yoga māyā."
"In the door of that house of God's love, only those can enter who will offer their head. What does offering the head mean? Ego."
The lecturer leads a satsang, reflecting on India as a holy land because it is where God and saints incarnate. He explains the two types of incarnation, nitya and nimitta, emphasizing the profound suffering endured by divine figures and their families, such as Krishna's parents Devaki and Vasudeva. The discourse centers on bhakti (devotion), stating that increasing love while decreasing attachment leads to freedom. He stresses that surrender and the offering of one's ego are essential to enter the divine realm of love, concluding with a blessing mantra.
