Questions on today's Swami call:

00:00:59 You sometimes make the point that 'I' is the smallest, most used, and least understood word in the English language. Have you read that somewhere?

00:01:30 Was Lord Brahma really able to overpower the cowherd boys in the Brahma vimohana lila?

00:07:11 Did Sri Krishna experience sakhya-rasa during the year that he took the form of the other cowherd boys?

00:09:15 Is selfless love in this world akin to the prema of the spiritual world?

00:13:08 As sadhakas we try to see Krishna everywhere, and everything in Krishna, yet we feel separation from him. What is this separation if he is actually present everywhere?

00:16:31 What do you mean by ontological good and evil?

00:21:50 Is the following of rules or the expression of love that pleases Sri Krishna? I am wondering because of the story where Sri Krishna sends Narada Muni to gather footdust from Krishna's devotees to cure Krishna's headache.

00:29:02 Why did Sri Krishna not make any effort to bring Pradyumna back when he was kidnapped? Was it because they are aware of actually being sakhas from Vraja-lila taking these new forms in Dvaraka rather than feeling as father and son?

00:30:42 Why must a sakhya-rati upasaka enter Krishna-lila during go-dhuli and at no other time?

00:46:40 What would be the Vedic perspective on experiences of deja vu?

00:48:40 Why is Sri Radha sometimes jealous?

00:53:14 Why did Lord Balarama take time off from cowherding after coming out of Sri Krishna's spell during the Brahma vimohana lila?
