- Super excellent day due to Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura’s avirbhava-tithi and Srila BV Madhusudana Maharaja’s tirobhava-tithi.
- In the material world everything is limited, in the transcendental world everything is unlimited and there is only one time: the eternal present moment.
- The story of Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura in East Bengal with Mahaprabhu, then called Nimai Pandita.
- The Deity Sri Radha Vinoda Lala who requested service from Lokanatha Dasa Gosvami.
- In Kali-yuga it is very difficult to make disciples and it is very difficult for them to surrender to the spiritual master.
- In this Kali-yuga the disciple wants to give instructions to the master, this is the nature of this era.
- He who accepts the guru’s punishment can be called a disciple.
- A true disciple is one who is completely surrendered to the lotus feet of the spiritual master.
- Story of Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura’s request for diksa to Lokanatha Dasa Gosvami.
- The more Kali-yuga progresses, the more the Guru grants diksa and japamala indiscriminately, with the aim of generating sukrti (spiritual merits): “Something is better than nothing!”
- The person who died and had the chance to stay twenty-four minutes in Svarga-loka while a sadhu recited Srimad Bhagavatam.
- The Yamadutas (messengers of death) do not touch the person who is listening to harikatha from a sadhu.
- About the offenses against the lotus feet of the Vaisnavas.
- Despite being sinful, Ajamila never offended a Vaisnava, he had a son named Narayana.
- Lokanatha Dasa Gosvami accepted Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura as a disciple due to his service mood.
- The story of when Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada asked Srila Gaura Kisora Dasa Babaji Maharaja for initiation three times.
- Story of when a vrajavasi went to ask for water in the asram of Srila Lokanatha Dasa Gosvami and Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura while they were chanting the Holy Names.
- Sloka: nāma cintāmaṇiḥ kṛṣṇaś caitanya-rasa-vigrahaḥ (CC Madhya-lila 17.133).
- Whoever chants the Holy Names is directly serving Sri Krsna.
- We should not say “chant the Holy Names”, but rather, serve the Holy Names, serve/honor the mahaprasada and so on.
