As is customary, let us chant the divine name for a while after which the lecture will begin.All glory to the Supreme Divine Couple! Now, please pay attention. Who am I? Who is Mine? We must solve these two questions.Fundamentally, to solve any question, there are three types of evidence: perceptual evidence, inferential evidence and scriptural evidence. You are familiar with perceptual evidence. What does perceptual mean? That which the eyes can see. That which the ears can hear. That which the nose can smell. That which the tongue can taste and that which is touched by the skin. That’s all.The reach of perceptual evidence is limited to the extent that we can grasp the subjects of the five senses. That’s all. For example, let us take sight. How far can you see? 200 yards? 400 yards? One kilometre? Ten kilometres? If you had the eyes of a vulture, you would see up to 50 kilometres. Even with a telescope, you can see up to

As is customary, let us chant the divine name for a while, after which the discourse will begin. All glory to Lord Shri Krishna! Now, please pay close attention. So far, I have told you that ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Who is Mine?’ are the two questions we have been attempting to solve from beginningless time until now, through infinite lifetimes, incessantly, constantly, unceasingly, every moment, and yet we still have not made any progress. In other words, we have been unable to solve these two questions. As a result, we are unhappy, distressed, dissatisfied and unfulfilled. And this incompleteness will not end until these two questions are solved in a practical way. To that end, you were told by means of perceptual, inferential and other evidence that whatever is not ‘mine’ is the ‘I’. And while explaining the meaning of the word ‘mine’, you were told that besides the ‘I’, there are two other entities. One is God and one is maya. So, one of

As is customary, let us chant the divine name for a while, after which the subject will begin. All glories to Shri Radha Krishna! Now, please pay attention. So far, I have explained to you that Brahm, jiva and maya – these three entities are beginningless, endless and eternal. Of these three, we are the entity known as jiva (the soul). Who am I? Who is Mine? In order to solve these two questions, we have only two options because there are only two entities apart from ourselves. One is God and one is maya. So, either God is ours or this material world, maya, is ours. Western philosophers, based on the strength of their own intellects, have come up with various doctrines regarding the goal of life. There is a doctrine called Charvak that actually originated from India. This says that there is no need for all this knowledge. We are the body. We, meaning the awareness of ‘I’ that we experience in the waking state, in dreams, in deep sleep, everywhere,

Main Kaun Mera Kaun – Lecture 7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvxoHzlLomE&list=PLt3Sctc1I4Rt3eBUAYxPba_zDpJpl15O4&index=7 O seekers, desiring to ardently meditate on the lotus feet of the darling of Braj! As is customary, let us chant the divine name for some time, after which the lecture will begin. Glory to the Divine Couple, Shri Radha Govinda! You all speak in such a soft voice. Speak up! All glories to Shri Radha Krishna!So far I have explained to you that in this world there are two kinds of people: the shreyavadi (those of the higher path) and the preyavadi (those of the lower path). In simple terms, you can say one is wise and one is ignorant. One is sensible and one is foolish. The Vedas state: Scriptural Verse (Katha Upanishad 1.2.1) There have been two kinds of doctrines in the world since beginningless time. A third doctrine can never be created. Scriptural Verse Katha Upanishad 1.2.1 Meaning, since beginningless time, there have been two paths. One is called shreya; one is called preya. Shreya is the path of the wise, and preya is the path of the ignorant. There can only be two types of people: a person is either wise or foolish. That’s it!Why? Because apart from

As is customary, let us begin by chanting the Lord’s name for a while, after which the discourse shall begin.   All glories to Shri Radha Krishna!   Now, all of you please pay attention. Who am I? Who is Mine? These two questions have to be solved. Countless lives have passed, because we are beginningless. And we cannot remain inactive even for a moment; so we have spent every moment solving these two questions. However, up until now, we have not solved these two questions. God Himself has come innumerable times. We have met Saints innumerable times. All of them guided us, and we nodded our heads, “Yes, I understand!” However, we did not understand.   Who am I? To answer this question, we need to take the support of the Vedas and the scriptures. We also did this. The scriptures stated that you are one entity and there are two others. One is Brahm and the other is maya. You are a power of Brahm. Brahm has three powers:

Main Kaun Mera Kaun – Lecture 6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLKXmiFxvJ8&list=PLt3Sctc1I4Rt3eBUAYxPba_zDpJpl15O4&index=6 O esteemed, blessed seekers of the nectar of the lotus feet of Shri Krishnachandra, the moon of Vrindavan, who is the absolute essence of sat, chit and anand! As is customary, let us chant the divine name for a while, after which the discourse will begin. All glories to Shri Radha Krishna! Now, please pay close attention. Who am I? Who is Mine? These two questions are currently being resolved. One may ask, “Why?” Every action has a reason behind it. Scriptural Verse (Yogshikha Upanishad 1.37) The Vedas state this. Yogshikha Upanishad 1.37 This mantra is also in the Tripad-vibhuti-narayana Upanishad: the first mantra of the eighth chapter. Scriptural Verse Tripad-vibhuti-narayana Upanishad 8.1 No action is performed without a reason. Why have you come here? There is a reason. Why will you leave here to go somewhere else? There is a reason. Why did you close your eyes? For a reason. Why did you take a breath? For a reason. There is a reason behind every action that is performed. It is a valid question. Why is it necessary to find the answers to these two questions, ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Who
