One who does not take shelter at the lotus feet of the guru and the Vaishnavas does not receive mercy and remains trapped in maya.
3 things that are very powerful and can liberate us from the material world if we accept them with faith: the water that washed the lotus feet of the Vaishnavas, the remnants of their food and the dust of their lotus feet. Verse from Sri Caitnaya Caritamrita: bhakta-pada-dhūli āra bhakta-pada-jala.
Srila Vamana Gosvami Maharaja recommended that his devotees drink the water used to bathe the feet of Vaishnavas every day to ward off disturbances.
The story of the brahmachari who was disturbed by the ghost of a girl who asked for the water that washed the feet of Srila Vamana Gosvami Maharaja so that she could be free of the ghost’s body.
The water that washed the lotus feet of the Vaisnavas is a thousand times more powerful than the water of the rivers in the holy tirthas.
While Sri Caitanya was on a preaching tour of Bengal, He fell ill and, after taking medicine without improvement, asked for water to bathe the feet of the brahmanas.
Sadhu sanga is harikatha.
If you listen to harikatha, your mind will be in jubilation, but if you do not listen to harikatha, your mind will be disturbed.
Narada Rsi obtained Krsna-bhakti by listening to the harikatha of the sadhus, by honouring their food remnants, and by honouring the water that bathed their feet.
Disappearance day of Syamananda Prabhu, a very dear associate of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Every day you should read about the lives of our Gosvamis, how they practised bhajana and sadhana.
The life story of Syamananda Prabhu, also known as Dukhi Krsna Dasa.
When he was growing up, Krsna Dasa was instructed by his guru, Hridaya Caitanya, to go to Vrndavana and learn all the shastras from Srila Jiva Gosvamipada, who was considered the highest Vaisnava of the time, manifesting the tattva sandarbha.
According to Srila Bhaktisiddantha Prabhupada, Vrajavasis are those who perform bhajana and sadhana in the mood of Sri Rupa and Sri Sanatana.
Srimati Radhika is the Vrindavanesvari, the Supreme Controller of Vrindavana.
Anyone who goes to Vrndavana must serve there.
Dukhi Krsna Dasa’s service was sweeping before the Jaru Mandala.
