Hearing about the Acaryas of the past leads us to meet them directly today.
About a lila in which Srila Gurudeva BV Narayana Gosvami Maharaja perfectly glorified Srila Gurudeva Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada after seeing him through the lotus mouth of his Srila Gurudeva Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja. This darsana is more real than seeing Gurudeva with the eyes without having realisation or sincerity in the heart.
Lila about the letter that Rukmini wrote to Krsna.
One who perfectly hears the harikatha uttered by the pure devotee becomes able to do perfect kirtana from what was heard.
About a special sloka that Radha says: ayi dīna-dayārdra nātha he mathurā-nātha kadāvalokyase hṛdayaṁ tvad-aloka-kātaraṁ dayita bhrāmyati kiṁ karomy aham
About the two well-known disciples of Madhavendra Puri: Isvara Puri and Ramacandra Puri.
Vani-seva and vapu-seva.
Sloka: śrī-caitanya-mano-‘bhīṣṭaṁ sthāpitaṁ yena bhū-tale svayaṁ rūpaḥ kadā mahyaṁ dadāti sva-padāntikam -Isvara Puri is a perfect servant of Madhavendra Puri as he was expert in vani and vapu-seva. On the other hand, Ramacandra Puri only found fault with everyone, the malicious one criticised his own guru and even judged how much Mahaprabhu ate.
He who serves the Guru without malice or falsehood becomes capable of receiving the Guru’s blessings.
All disciples should spread the messages of their Guru. This is the best seva, Gurudeva is very happy.
The grantha-seva is called brhad-mrdanga.
Vaisnavas travel all over the world just to distribute Vaikuntha’s messages, and they don’t criticise anybody.
The fundamental importance of Yogamaya.
The difference between Yogamaya and Maha-maya.
Yogamaya is the perfect director of all Krsna’s lilas, she masterfully organises absolutely everything, down to the smallest detail, this is her duty.
Who is Yogamaya? Srimati Radhika Herself.
Madhavendra Puri was practising his bhajana on the banks of Govinda Kunda. If someone gave him something to eat, he ate it, if not, he fasted, never asked for anything.
Lila of Madhavendra Puri and the black boy who offered him milk to drink.
About Madhavendra Puri’s dream of Gopala Thakuraji asking him to dig up and serve Him.
Kheer-cora-Gopinatha.
Krsna is unique and Radha is unique, but They have innumerable potencies. Krsna is purna-saktiman and Radha is purna-sakti. They take different forms and are given different names in Their pastimes.
