Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q & A; December 4, 2022: Get Absorbed Somehow or Other

Questions on today’s Swami call:

How are we to understand the statements from scripture that say the jiva is one with Brahman?

Sometimes, it appears that the experiences of the saint Mirabai are downplayed by representatives of our tradition. As Sri Krishna has all rights reserved, is he not free to reciprocate with Mirabai in the way she approached him?

If we have more enthusiasm for kirtana than for japa, how can we bring that enthusiasm with us when we engage with in japa?

Can one replace japa with kirtana?

Do you call yourself a sanatani (a follower of sanatana dharma)?
