23 Aug 2023 midday – The Glories of Srila Rupa Gosvamipada (English) – Hong Kong | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • If we remember the six Gosvami’s, all of our anarthas will be removed.
  • Life history of the three brothers, Rupa, Sanatana and Anupama, or Vallabha (father of Srila Jiva Gosvami).
  • Beautiful story of how Rupa and Sanatana became ministers for the Muslim Nawab, Hussain Shah.
  • The king’s personal secretary’s search for the unknown item.
  • How did the personal secretary know the king’s heart?
  • Rupa and Sanatana become the Nawab’s financial minister and prime minister.
  • In Ramakeli-goan, Mahaprabhu tells Rupa and Sanatana that life is very short and they should go to Vrindavana. This message is for us.
  • After many many material lives, we are never satisfied, chewing the chewed.
  • Make your life successful, do bhajan and sadhana and attain Goloka Vrindavana.
  • We are all travellers, the soul moves from one body to another, but now we have a precious human body.
  • Maya-devi makes us forget our previous births.
  • In the transcendental world, the ocean of divine love is fathomless.
  • Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu gives Rupa Gosvami one drop of this divine nectar of love to taste: this is bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu.
  • Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu has brought the most precious things from Goloka Vrindavana: harinama.
  • The effects and benefits of chanting the highest things, harinama and Gopal mantras.
  • Obstacles will come in the form of four types of aparadha’s, like a mad elephant, so we have to protect the bhakti-lata-bija very carefully.
  • The water for the bhakti-lata-bija is harikatha. Prema is the fruit, bhava are the flowers.
