- Every year the Ratha Yatra Maha Mahotsava is held in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. At this time of the year, this festival also takes place in Jagannatha Puri.
- Lord Jagannatha inspires the hearts of devotees to come for the Ratha Yatra.
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu experienced the mood of Srimati Radhika going to meet Krsna in Vrindavana.
- The gopis are very eager to have darshan of Govinda. Even their eyelids are an obstacle for them to have the vision of Krsna.
- The gopis curse Brahma to death for creating the eyelids.
- This is the highest bhava, prema-vaichitya.
- When the gopis see Krsna, they cry, and these same tears prevent them from seeing Him.
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mood is the perfect Ratha Yatra.
- Today is the Tirobhava tithi of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, who is called the seventh Gosvami.
- The 6 Gosvamis fulfilled all the wishes of Sri Caitanya, as did Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.
- Gaura-nama and Gaura-dhama: Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura established these two practices in his life, the names of Gaura and His abode. In this way he enabled Lord Caitanya to give vraja-prema.
- Mahaprabhu is prema-purushottama-avatara.
- Some schools claim that svarupa manifests according to the mood of the spiritual master they follow. But this idea is wrong.
- Mahaprabhu listened to the hari-katha of Gadadhara Pandita every day.
