I have to do my work with pure devotion only not asking anything in return. Just giving my best . The supreme lord is my father . I am his daughter '

[@dalerafferty2605]

[@VCSHINES]

Dhanyosmi Guruji ❤koti koti pranam 🙏🙏🙏 Waiting for next part🎉

[@vidhya_raghunathan]

Swamiji's narration of the Narasimha avatar and Prahlad story is an impactful Roopdhyan, the scenes still reverberating in my imagination. Every single line of Swamiji's narration was filled with divine wisdom. This intellect is illumined by God. Can it ever outwit God? God made pillar as His father to show that God exists everywhere. Prahalad, the pinnacle of selfless love showed us what to ask God and what should be our eternal disposition. Profound wisdom for contemplation.

[@vickramsookdeo4948]

This episode would have served it's purpose if one were to commit it to memory and keep contemplating on it. Thank you, Swami Ji ❤🙏 Radhey Radhey.

[@jasminebehera4256]

Jai Shree Krishna 🙏 Truely said Swami ji there is no need to ask anything to God only we should have nishkaam bhakti towards him.

[@sushantakumarmohanty4625]

We have gone through many births and deaths since innumerable life times. But, yet we could not get the bliss we are searching for. We can ask God for his selfless love and his darshan to satiate our soul.

[@Prhajk]

Beautiful words by Swamiji, “Intellect works by the power of God.” No one can overpower God by intellect. Radhey Radhey

[@vimitkundra5364]

Hare Krishna

[@prabhjyotjain7025]

Learnt that highest form of devotion is one which is without any expectation from param pita. Such a lovely story.

[@user-vb6yy6bn8f]

Thank you very very much, Swamiji!

[@meenachauhan3703]

Listening God's leelas by Swamiji is so blissful. We wish that it never ends.

[@tittertatter906]

LIstening to bhagavatam is the highest bliss that I always get and Swamiju frkm my guru's lotus mouth is my immense blessing. ❤🙏

[@Mlebron777]

Love the stories,i LEAR I LOT MORE THAN I EVER IMAGINE 🎉 BEST WISHES AND INTETAIONS TO THE GURU!!!!

[@youva_rani]

We can never over wit God, he is our creator so he is all knowing. We should develop bhakti within us and surrender to the plans of the supreme lord.

[@dipyendraray9667]

Everything is Lord Narayana ,the supreme lord

[@gayatrich1801]

Swamiji relates the sweet leela of God's avatar as Narsing Bhagavan. The devotion of Prahlad is so astonishing and praise worthy. It is most inspiring to all of us. A little child of 5 yr old asked God the most selfless boon that we cannot even imagine asking God. A must watch video for all.. Thank you Swamiji for teaching us how to be a selfless devotee of God..

[@manihari890]

🙏🤲🕉🕉💜🩷🩷💜💜

[@dharmendrakumarkhare2517]

भक्ति मे पूर्ण विश्वास और समर्पण होना चाहिए । तो भगवान आपको कण कण में मिल जाएगे।

[@sarbanidas4149]

The Supreme Power is always their to save his devotees.. we just have to keep faith in him❤

[@nehasharan8396]

One should develop deep bhav for the lord like Prahalad did. He was only a child but was not scared of the fierce form of Lord, and when asked for a boon refused to ask anything. This is the Nishkam Bhakti that we should strive for!

[@SumitraMadhu]

Powerful discourse by Swamiji from part 18 of Srimad Bhagawatham on Prahalad’s unwavering faith and selfless devotion to 🙏Bhagawan Vishnu/Narasimh. This ‘Leela’ from Bhagawatham teaches us to engage in faithful and selfless service and devotion to God without any ask or expectation in return. Praying to God is not a business trade deal and there is no give and take transaction. Rather when one engages in selfless service and devotion to God, he shall always protect and bestow upon all his divine grace to his devotees.

[@jyothsanaravi755]

Lord nrusimha literally appears in front of , that devotee , who recites his name in complete devotion and faith ❤he is always there for his devotees like he was there for prahlad when the little boy was pushed high from the mountain 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻jay Jay nrusimha 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@puspanjalipatra1001]

Niskam bhati is most important 🙏 Such a beautiful message!

[@GuyzLikeMe]

When you help others, God helps you. Helping others sends blessings to you from God!

[@sandhyadas6323]

Due to our ignorance we are searching for real happiness in the wrong place. We should be intelligent enough like our father and pray Him to give that divive knowledge, bliss and joy which He has kept for us from eternity.

[@TheLegion78]

I have found the Narasimha story so interesting. Thank you.

[@manjushreenanda3754]

Make me in such a way that I never ever ask you for anything, even in my dreams 🙇‍♀️

[@satyanarayanasharma9484]

Swamiji beautifully narrated the story of Bhakt Prahlad ,very inspirational. We should learn nishkaam bhakti from Prahlad.As a matter of fact, a servant should carryout the orders of his master and get pleasure seeing his master being happy

[@suchitakulkarni7744]

God = everywhere , selfless, what not .... he always pity on us and we are still unable to realise his value..... 😢.... Radhe Radhe 🙏 😊

Sweet Leela of God and godly persons preach us that complete faith on God can protect us from all shots of problems. We no more need to ask Him. He is our eternal father. He knows how to bless and uplift us.

[@venkatramanan198]

The nectar of Bhagavatam is getting increasingly becoming nectarine from Swamiji's lectures ... Nrinsing bhagavan shows us God is everywhere and Prahald's love for God teaches us the formula for selfless love... Ask God nothing but be a true servant to Him❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

[@sairam19]

Thank you for narrating this wondeful leela Swamiji❤

[@user-rz4gv1bz8f]

Prahlad such a great bhakti saint in history his devotion towards God is so pure. That In the age of 5 he attain bhakti. Even he left Narsing Bhagavan quite by his knowledge. Thank you swamiji a lot for giving a another gem to us for our bhakti.🙏

[@hadinayak1424]

We should ask God for Niskam Bhakti. Prahlad is a great example of true devotee. God takes care of them who always surrender to God.

[@kj_1912]

Listening to Bhagvatam from Swamiji is such a blessing. Thank you Swamiji for explaining about Nishkamata in bhakti

[@ravishankarch8910]

Radhey Radhey swamiji. We are very blessed hearing mahabharatam nectar from you. In this prahlad story, I learned we should not ask God anything and instead we should give everything and he will give us the highest thing. ❤❤❤

[@rebeccablossom9823]

I love your lectures about the Lord ❤

[@anmolasthana1199]

Prahlad being a little child had such a great level of intelligence. When God asked to ask for a boon he cleverly asked that he should not ask anything in future from God. This ensured the nishkam bhav of the bhakti of which even God becomes servant of. Greatly inspired by Prahlad's story. Thank you swamiji for this heart filling katha. ❤️🙏

[@NotSoSmart2329]

Nishkam Bhakti!!

[@subhamdas1477]

Beautiful & excellent and electrifine speach by swamiji ❤

[@user-ty1ff5kc6u]

Naturally Bhagavatam is very sweat but It is more melodious as It springs out of divine face of Swamiji. Story of Bal Prahlad touched my heart very strongly. Pranams to Swamiji

[@prativamayeemishra4505]

Such a wonderful story. It is inspiring us to do selfless devotion and seva. Thanks swamij .

[@santoshsahu3357]

Very well explained swamiji about the nishkam bhakti. No need to ask God for anything with this material intellect. Without asking God will give much more.

Such a lovely guidance from Swamiji- it is to be told to our intellect that the best happiness is only in the selfless service to God. One silver bullet to take care of all the confusions in the mind. Thank you Swamiji🙏

[@madhusmitadash6439]

Swamiji explained the story of Prahallad from Srimad Bhagvad.Our takeaways from the story is that God is all pervading and selfless love of Prahallad to God.

[@sujanakumari6267]

Prahlad varada narasimha swamy ki Jai 🙏

[@vimalasuppiah4103]

My takeaways are, do Bhakti to develop intense love towards God for who He is and love Him without expectation, just like Prahalad and serve God selflessly as that is the true nature of the soul. God is seated within our hearts so He knows what is best for us .

Beautiful narration of Bhagavatham by Swamiji to know about Nishkamata in bhakti...

[@krishnatulsi4749]

Whether a soul is a person or a demon, we can still learn a great deal from them. Despite being a demonic being, King Bali's devotion to Vaaman Bhagavan is quite endearing. Even though his Guru had warned him that he would lose everything, he still submitted to the all-powerful being, obeyed his divine commands, followed Vaman Bhagavan's teachings, and gave up his ambition to rule as king. I humbly ask God to assist me in reaching the same degree of surrender to my beloved Guru and Hari as Bali did. I'm grateful to Swamiji for this wonderful talk.

[@gayatritavva1764]

Beautiful message

[@bvprithvi8979]

What a lovely story to learn from. ❤

[@vidyavenupawar6364]

We heard this story many things, but Swamiji tries to instill devotion deep into our mind and intellect by driving us to see in a right perspective.l Sentences like Kayadu is in tamasic, so she is not interested in devotion, we cannot outwit God as He is the one who gives knowledge to us. . Many more wisdom nuggets, Thanks to Swamiji
