PART 1
0:00:00 – Read the book about Ekadashi. Anuradha Didi designed the cover, and Shyamasundara Prabhu compiled the book from lectures.
0:02:38 – Shyamasundara Prabhu speaks.
0:03:20 – If you focus your mind on harinama and hari-katha, then your mind will not run towards various gossips. All of you must write a small book; I request everyone to write books.
0:07:30 – Gurudev inspired everyone to distribute books. One day, someone will read them and become a pure devotee. I request you, write books of 5-7 pages. Distributing books is the best service. The entire Guruvarga wrote books; they will be very happy. If one just dances and sings, that is not bhakti. The highest guru-seva is brihad-mridanga seva (the service of distributing books). Give books as gifts. Sanatana Gosvamipada fully surrendered to Mahaprabhu and quoted this verse: ‘Namo maha-vadanya…’
0:15:20 – When Sanatana Gosvamipada became old and was performing parikrama around Govardhana, Krishna manifested before him and said, “O Sanatana, you do not need to perform parikrama now; you are already old.”
0:20:40 – A story: When Advaita Acharya became very angry upon seeing that all the panditas and brahmanas were eating onions, garlic, meat, and drinking wine, and not chanting the holy names. He went into a trance (because He is the incarnation of Sada Shiva and Maha-Vishnu). Then a voice sounded from the sky: “Shachinandana Gaurahari will come.” The offering of Advaita Acharya (Ganga water and Tulasi-devi).
PART 2
0:00 – About Tulasi-seva (serving Tulasi); puja (worship) as an anga (limb) of bhakti.
10:00 – The moods of different rasas (spiritual relationships); about the importance of nishtha (steadfastness).
17:00 – The moods of Mathuriya-svakiya (conjugal love in matrimony) and parakiya (transcendental paramour love).
24:00 – Sambandha (relationship) and kama-atmika (selfish desire) vs. the prema (pure love) of Srimati Radhika.
