Human life, sadhu-sanga and hari-katha are very rare.
The human body is the door that leads us to the Supreme Lord.
-The Bible says that the Lord created man in His own image and likeness.
Human life has the power of discrimination.
Spiritual life is the path of light, material life is the path of darkness.
Ghosts dance in the dark at night.
Purnima means full moon.
Beautiful lila of Srimati Radhika coming out on a full moon night dressed in white.
About the Snana Yatra of Lord Jagannatha.
Caitanya Mahaprabhu is no different from Lord Jagannatha.
Three and a half persons: Svarupa Damodara, Raya Ramananda, Sikhi Mahiti and Madhavi-devi – this is not said because Madhavi-devi is a woman.
Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s lila in Jagannatha Puri with Sikhi Mahiti, Madhavi-devi and others in Lord Jagannatha’s temple.
Lila of the lady who, out of greed, climbed on Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s back to see Lord Jagannatha in the crowded temple.
Sikhi Mahiti’s dream about Mahaprabhu and Jagannatha.
Srila Gurudeva explains the sloka: athāpi te deva padāmbuja-dvaya-prasāda-leśānugṛhīta eva hi jānāti tattvaṁ bhagavan-mahimno na cānya eko ‘pi ciraṁ vicinvan
Srila Gurudeva explains: Krsna viraha-vidhur Radha (Mahaprabhu), Radha viraha-vidhur Krsna (Jagannatha).
Without Radha, there is no rasa dance.
Krsna feels viraha-ajni, the fire of separation.
The conditioned souls burn in the fire of material existence with the three miseries: adhyatmika, adhibhautika and adhidaivika.
Whoever listens to the hari-katha about the Snana Yatra of Lord Jagannatha has his anarthas purified.
Whoever brings a drop of honey or ghee or yoghurt for Lord Jagannatha’s Snana Yatra will have no lack in life.
About the greatness and beauty of the Deity of Lord Jagannatha in Jagannatha Puri.
Explaining how Lord Jagannatha gets flu from bathing so much.
Gopis don’t like to have darsana of Krsna in the form of four arms; they like the three-fold form with a peacock feather on the head.
