0:10 – The devotees glorify the Lord, and the Lord glorifies His devotees.

8:19Bhakti means seva (service). The Bhagavatam says you must give up false ego.

13:50 – The Holy Name is the most valuable thing in this world.

18:00 – You should have only one desire – to perform Hari-bhajan (devotional worship) with longing. If you want to do seva (service), then the Lord will arrange everything.

21:00 – One who does not perform Hari-bhajan is like an animal. If a person lives for 1000 years without doing bhajan to the Lord, their life is useless. But if someone performs Hari-bhajan for just 5 days, their life is considered successful.

26:00 – The scriptures say: if you receive darshan (vision) of a pure sadhu (saint), then this is your last life.

26:30 – One must not commit offenses (aparadhas) against Vaishnavas, the Holy Name, or seva (service), otherwise everything will be lost.

28:50 – The manifestation of Bhakti: Bhakti-devi has two sons.

36:15 – Sri Sanatana Gosvamipada asked Mahaprabhu: “Who am I? Where is the soul? What is the size of the soul?” When the body is awake, the soul is located in the throat.

41:40 – We should develop the mood: “I am the servant of my beloved Srimati Radhika.”

44:25 – First, one must serve the Guru – become a Vaishnava das, Guru das, dasa dasa anudasa (the servant of the servant of the servant).

46:20 – Mahaprabhu said: “I take all responsibility for the one who chants My Holy Names.” We must develop this mood: “I am the servant of the servant.”

48:10 – The highest service to Radhika is to serve in Her sweet lilas (pastimes), to receive manjari-seva (the service of Radharani’s confidential maidservants).

52:52 – Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami received the blessings of Srimati Radhika. When Radhika asked him what position he desired – perhaps the position of Lalita or Vishakha – Raghunatha Das replied: “No, I want to be Your close maidservant under the guidance of the senior manjari.”56:45 – Perform bhajan with deep longing. The Gaudiya Math is the mood of the manjari.
