Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q&A; September 20, 2026: The Kama-Gayatri Mantra Is About Passing Out

What should be our focus when we chant?

How should we as Gaudiya Vaishnavas understand puranic stories that make it seem that forms of Sri Krishna and his associates are not eternal, and that some other form than Krishna's is his origin?

Sometimes it is said that we must meditate on Sri Sri Radha Krishna embracing and kissing when we recite the Kama-gayatri. This makes me uncomfortable. What is your take on this?

What is the significance of the fact that some guru-mantras start with the bija 'srim' and others with 'aim'?

Did I understand you correctly that the puranic stories about Sri Krisna and his associates simply give a reason for their appearance in the manifest lila?

Would you like to say something about Radhastami?

Why did Sri Krishna contract his internal energy to show mother Yashodarani the universal form?
