PART 1

  • Gundicha Mandira marjana-lila, the pastime of cleaning the Gundicha temple.
  • Lord Jagannatha is patita-pavana (the Saviour of fallen souls).

  • If you see Lord Jagannatha in the chariot, all your sins will be destroyed.
  • If you dance and chant in front of Lord Jagannatha, you will attain gopi-prema.
  • Lord Brahma tried to reach the dust from the lotus feet of Srimati Radhika for 60,000 years and could not.
  • According to the svarupa itself, the jiva attains different abodes (Vaikuntha, Goloka Vrndavana).
  • According to the adhikara, the qualification itself, we practice our sadhana and bhajana.
  • Imitation is dangerous.
  • Devotees who have madhurya mood, sweetness, automatically receive love and affection for Krsna in their hearts.
  • Srila Bhakti Prajnana Keshava Gosvami Maharaj built his first temple in Calcutta, externally against his guru’s order, but internally fulfilling his guru’s heart and true desire.
  • It is very difficult to understand the “yes and no” of a guru, a Vaishnava.
  • The meaning of holi, the coloured powder, is gopi-prema.
  • The pink powder means deep attachment to the Divine Couple (anuraga).
  • Only Srila Svarupa Damodara fulfilled the heart, the inner desire of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
  • Bhakti-devi never manifests in the hearts of those who criticise Guru of Vaishnavas.
  • And during 100 births they go to naraka (hell), then they get a human body with leprosy and then an animal birth.
  • It is no use taking diksha and harinama if you criticise the guru and the Vaishnavas.
  • Follow the 5 processes: mantrartha-cintaman; nyasa, mudra; prapatti; saranagati, atma-nivedana.

  • Sri Caitanya manifested Srimati Radhika’s mood of separation, mathura-viraha.
  • The meanings of kunja, nivritta nikunja, are all in the grantha of Visvanatha Chakravartipada.
  • Service humour is the best thing you have, seva-vrtti.
  • Gundica Marjanam is service.
  • Nityananda Prabhu is saving souls from this material world.
  • How do I clean the temple of my heart? Gurupada-padma, the undivided principle of the guru.
  • Pray to Nityananda Prabhu every day, chant Nityanandastakam.
  • Vapu-seva and vani-seva, physical service and following the instructions of Guru.
  • The highest is vani-seva.

  • Shabda-brahma, the transcendental vibration in the voice of the guru.
