"Do Not Let World's Bitter Words Enter the Heart": Sadhvi Vaishnavi Bharti's Message at Hoshiarpur Bhagwat Katha
Hoshiarpur/
Daljit Ajnoha/April 18
On the fourth day of the Shrimad Bhagwat Saptahik Katha Gyan Yagya, organized by Divya Jyoti Jagriti Sansthan at Roshan Ground in Hoshiarpur from April 14 to 20 (evenings 7 PM to 10 PM), renowned Bhagwat exponent Sadhvi Sushri Vaishnavi Bharti, disciple of Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, delivered a profound discourse on the Samudra Manthan (Ocean Churning) episode.
She recounted how devas and asuras churned the ocean as per Lord Vishnu's assurance that treasures, including the nectar of immortality (amrit), would emerge. The first to surface was poison (halahala), spreading in all directions. The devas prayed to Mahadev, who consumed it for the world's welfare but held it in his throat, earning the name Neelkanth. Sadhvi Ji imparted: "If you hear the world's poison-like bitter words, do not let them enter your heart—stop them at the throat. This ensures a happy life."
***Key Treasures and Spiritual Lessons**
Lakshmi emerged and chose Lord Narayan as her consort, teaching that pursuing Narayan brings Lakshmi naturally. Other yields—horse (Uchchaishravas), Parijat tree, apsaras, Kamdhenu cow, chariot, quiver, arrows, and amrit—were shared between devas and asuras.
Sadhvi Ji elaborated on divine incarnations: Balarama, depicted with a plough as farmers' deity, arrived before Krishna to aid his leelas and promotes organic farming using cow dung and urine—eco-friendly, low-cost, and income-boosting without chemical pesticides.
Lord incarnates in every yuga to protect dharma, uplift devotees, and destroy evil. In Dwapar, he ended Kansa's tyranny, turning Gokul's life into a festival. The session featured Nanda Mahotsav, with Sadhvi Ji and swamis singing welcoming bhajans, evoking Gokul's joy.
