Hare Krisna beloved Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

I know you are quite busy with your tour and preaching.

We were reading BG chapter 6 and I don't understand well the difference between the concepts of  brahma bhuta and samadhi.

Can you explain further please?

Thank you so much,

At your service,

Nikunja bihari das.

HpS - AGTSP.   paoho.  Yes.   When we stay in our cave in Nashville we can answer letters. The only human contact we have is when we go to our walk with NGD in the evening, but when we travel we are in contact with new people constantly  and need to talk about things.   Letters and personal contact. How to balance.

So nice to write to people, to you.

About 11-men, scholars, professors, are here in our rented luxury flat in Lima for the conference. They are so nice, so much stimulating each other. Then when we go to the public program they, we, all want to hear their public presentations.

Hope this network can contribute something to help the world.

https://www.vedabase.com/en/bg/18/54      -   This comes to mind.  Samadhi means to fix the mind on one thing.    Brahma bhuta means Brahman realization, there is a reality, I don't die, but there is no Paramatma, universal, congnizeable reality eg. Male and Female is an Eternal Reality.   I can know it.  Then if I apply that eternal knowledge I get eternal happiness. Sati, Cit, ANANDA.

Samadhi may mean to fix the mind, in a superficial, general sense, upon the Deity. Then there is no material relation, no sufering. It is  the beginning. Then..  I can meditate, Samadhi, on Krsna's smile, mercy, power.  More like Cit.   O.K?
