Why one must be free from the desire for all kind of designations in order to approach sanatana-dhama?

Hare Krishna

We are after designations. Someone wants to become " sir," someone wants to become " lord ," someone wants to become " sevak " or something else. 

As long as we are attached to these designations, we are attached to the body, because designations belong to the body. Designations and attachments are due to our lust and desire, our wanting to lord it over the material nature. As long as we do not give up this propensity of lording it over material nature, there is no possibility of returning to the kingdom of the Supreme, the sanatana-dhama.

" The whole world moves under this impression. People are considering the land, this earth, to belong to human society, and they have divided the land under the false impression that they are the proprieters. One has to get out of this false notion that human society is the proprieter of this world. When one is freed from such a false notion, he becomes free from all the false associations caused by familial, social and national affections. These faulty associations bind one to this material world. "

                      Listen other parts, I don't think their any need to rush. Of course many of these stories are from skand Puran. Before this is also only heard about  mirabai in school in Hindi subject, her poetaries Good about her and from teacher. In details in heard in these videos. But maybe you find it in skand Puran (i dimt know for sure)

                      Hare Krishna

                  I heard her story from the mouth of HG amogh lila prabhuji once in a video where he gave lecture (a short series) on the lilas of lord Jagannath

      Why are you calling me senior devotee?

      I don't know the answers to that.

      • Gayatri > Krishna das November 27, 2025 at 12:31pm

        I think you are senior isn't it?

        are you same as the age of akshit?

        Akshit prabhu is young boy maybe around 23-24 yr old and he is just trying to start studying BG.

        • Akshit > Gayatri November 27, 2025 at 1:30pm

          Well I am 18

        • Krishna das > Gayatri November 27, 2025 at 12:38pm

          Okay

          Have it your way!

          It is just that Akshit is not answering right now and I also don't happen to know the answers.
