As is customary, let us chant the Lord’s name for a while, after which the questions ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Who is Mine?’ will be answered.All glories to the Lord of Vrindavan, Shri Krishna! Now, please be attentive and listen to what I have to say.Who am I? Who is Mine? In response to this question, primarily, there are two answers that appear before us. Some say, “I am the sharir (the body)”, while others say, “I am the shariri.” Shariri means one who possesses a body. One is called a materialist, and the other is called spiritual. Those who identify themselves with the body are materialists, because this body is made of the five material elements. Those who believe and say that the soul is the ‘I’ are referred to as spiritual, as they do not accept the materialistic view regarding the ‘I’.There are some people who say that spirituality is the only doctrine, and there is no such thing as materialism, that is to say, the world does not exist at all. There is only spirituality,

Main Kaun Mera Kaun – Lecture-16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEFJpGKrKFYO blessed souls who, like bees, seek the lotus feet of Shri Krishna, the reservoir of divine bliss! As is customary, let us chant the divine name for a while, after which the discourse will begin. All glories to Lord Ram! Now, please pay attention. Who am I? Who is Mine? Regarding the answers to these two questions, so far you have been told that these two questions are such that none of our means or instruments such as the senses, mind and intellect, etc. can answer them. Nor can they be solved through perceptual evidence, inferential evidence and so on. Therefore, we attempted to solve them through scriptural evidence. Through the Vedas, through the Shastras, through the Puranas, and all religious scriptures, it was explained to you that there are two entities apart from the ‘I’. One is called Brahm, Paramatma, Bhagavan, etc., and one is called maya.   And you were also told that although these three entities are eternal, permanent, not all three are independent. Only one entity, Brahm, God, is independent. The other two, jiva (the soul) and maya, are dependent. They are powers of God. That is why they

MKMK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVizmSrUHfU We have been chanting God’s name since eternity, countless times across innumerable lifetimes, yet we have not attained God-realisation. Why? Because chanting without true understanding yields nothing. Just as in mathematics, multiplying any number by zero always results in zero. Similarly, chanting without knowledge is like multiplying by zero; no matter how many times we chant, the outcome remains the same. Consider the story of a man who found a ring. When told that it was worth only ten rupees, he neglected it. Later, a jeweller revealed the diamond inside was worth 100 million rupees. Suddenly, the same ring became precious to him. The ring itself never changed; only his understanding did. Similarly, when correct knowledge is added to chanting God’s name, our mind and intellect develop attachment, and the name becomes invaluable. The essential knowledge is that there is no difference between God and His name. Worldly names are limited to place and person. Call out “Anita!” and she responds only if she hears you. But God is all-pervading and specially seated in His name. Radha Krishna dwell not only in Their own names but in every name uttered with devotion. Any name taken with the feeling
