Prayers to the Lord...

Verse 1.11.7 (Yugal Kishore Pr):
* Here the residents of Dvaraka are praying and praising the Lord.
* We should learn these prayers. SB is full of such prayers
- Maharaj Muchakunda prayers, Wives of Kaliya prayers, Prahalad Maharaj prayers etc.
* Importance of prayers
- we acknowledge the SPG
- we are part and parcel
- our inability
- our ingratitude
- His unconditioned love
- our inability to come out desire to enjoy
- to continue serving Him
* Glorification of devotees actually helps us overcome envy within us.
* Krishna also says in BG, I am father, mother, well wisher of all living entities.
* Imp pt: Krishna never leaves you. One thing we don't like is cheating, imagine how many times we have cheated Him, but He will never leave us. That shows His unlimited mercy on us, He never leaves us.
* If we follow Him in every respect, we will become successful. Any success that comes in our life, attribute it to Krishna.
* In bhakti, Srimati Radharani has been maintaining us.
* Symptom of advancement: don't criticize any Vaishnava, genuinely chant the rounds, not just completing it. Surrender to the process completely and follow 4 regulative prayers.
* Kulasekhar Alwar prayers also, so very beautiful, Srila Prabhupada recited it so many times.
