Four important items for developing spiritually: appropriate place to listen to Harikatha, Granthas (books), spiritual master and maha-prasada.
Hindi proverb: there is no way to practice spiritual life on an empty stomach!
He who honors maha-prasada repeatedly gets rid of offenses, and he who chants the Holy Names too!
Vaisnava-aparadha is very dangerous!
Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave all the treasure of His heart to Srila Rupa Gosvamipada.
Lila of Srimati Radhika with Her sakhis at the Kusuma Sarovara (a lake with blooming flowers).
The story of the apparent offense committed against Kanja Krsna Dasa because Srila Rupa Gosvamipada laughed as he passed by, when in fact he was experiencing a sweet lila of Radha and Krsna within.
One who feeds the Vaisnavas becomes free from all offenses.
Offenses to Vaisnavas are like a mad elephant.
Visaya-vasana: the desire to enjoy the material world.
Story of Saubari Rsi who committed an offense at the lotus feet of Garuda (the bird that carries Lord Visnu).
