- Harikatha is kirtana, because the movement of the lips is considered kirtana, and the playing of musical instruments is also considered kirtana.
- The three types of kirtana: whispering and hearing one’s own voice, only in the mind and singing loudly.
- In Kali-yuga, the best is kirtanakiya-bhakti, because it includes sravana, kirtana and smarana.
- Honestly, we are not qualified to speak Harikatha, but Gurudeva inspires us in this way.
- Story of Vaisnavas on a narrow path of wheat plantation rolling on the ground.
- The Vaisnava is always humble.
- Arcanakiya-bhakti is very powerful!
- Vidhi-marga and raga/bhava-marga.
- When Guru and Vaisnava give a direct order, the potency (sakti) is along with the instruction.

- The Grantha invocation sloka, which is given at the beginning of the book, contains the potency and the whole essence of it.
- Without the mercy of the Lord nothing can happen in our hearts.
- Bhagavat-krpa and Guru-krpa is very powerful! Guru krpa hi kevalam (the Guru’s grace is absolute and the only reality)!
