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.
