The era of Kali-yuga and Kalki Avatar. This Danya Kali-yuga in which Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared can be called Caitanya Kali-yuga.
The four Yugas: Tetra-yuga, Satya-Yuga, Dvapara-yuga and Kali-yuga. The different practices in each and how long human beings live in each of them. The importance of chanting the Holy Names.
Human life is very, very rare.
Example of King Bharata Maharaja who, while still very young, abandoned everything to practice bhajana and sadhana, but became attached to a young deer.
Example from the Upanisads: Lila of Narada Rsi traveling and stopping at the house of grhastas.
In Svargaloka one cannot do bhajana and sadhana, as there are too many opulences and constant entertainments there.
In Vrndavana, all the vrajavasis, even the trees and birds sing the names of Radha and Govinda.
Srimati Radhika is the daughter of Varsana.
Lila of the businessman who started thinking of Srimati Radhika as his daughter after a sage gave him an image of Her.
