0:00:30 – Everything is already destined and predetermined. Only Krishna knows when we will leave the body. One who is born will die; therefore, the body is born, but the Atma is eternal.
0:07:00 – Mahaprabhu said: Krishna is very merciful; He granted me the association of devotees. Bhakta-sanga (association with devotees) and Hari-katha are very important in our spiritual life.
0:08:35 – The story of Shrivasa Thakura in his home: when his son left his body, the Thakura did not disturb Gaura Hari from His bhajan.
0:16:30 – If your bhajan and sadhana are not yet mature, Krishna will arrange for you to take birth in your next life in the family of exalted devotees. The human body is very rare.
0:20:00 – A story from life: a 7-8 year old boy fell into the Ganga; his body was found after 2 days. This happened during a parikrama. The conclusion is that you can leave the body at any second.
0:22:10 – Mahaprabhu asked: “O Haridasa, how can one become free from this material world?” (Even birds and animals…) If the transcendental sound vibration enters their ears, they will be liberated. This is stated in Chaitanya-bhagavata.
0:23:50 – A story about a Muslim who chanted ‘haram’.
0:25:40 – Krishna-katha is very powerful, but Radha-nama is a hundred times more powerful. The glory of Radha-nama.
0:27:45 – Srila Jiva Gosvamipada is very dear to Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. His father, Anupama, worshiped Sita and Rama. The story of how Rupa and Sanatana told Anupama to worship Radha and Krishna.

0:35:50 – Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur describes that Krishna’s garments, His pitambara (yellow cloth), are all Baladeva Prabhu.
0:39:07 – The manifestation of the holy abode; the dhama is Nityananda Prabhu. Vrindavana-dhama is the embodiment of sweetness; Navadvipa-dhama is the embodiment of magnanimity and generosity. Gaura-dhama is very powerful. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur sang this song stating that Gaura-dhama is superior to Vrindavana-dhama. One must take shelter of Navadvipa-dhama; then one will have the qualification to enter Vrindavana-dhama. Our goal is to associate with Gaurajana (the devotees of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu).
0:48:42 – Nimi Maharaja asked: “Who is our Ishtadeva in this Kali-yuga?”

1:06:17 – Jiva Gosvamipada wrote the commentary ‘Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu-bindu’ and the Six Sandarbhas. If you want to become a Vaishnava, study tattva (philosophical truth).
1:12:07 – The Guru-parampara descends in two ways: the Pancharatra-parampara and the Bhagavata-parampara. One who does not know the parampara is an offender. Study the book by Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, ‘Prabandha-panchaka’.
1:27:50 – Vilasi Manjari is Jiva Gosvamipada.
1:28:50 – Srila Jiva Gosvamipada; the book ‘Gopala-madhana-mahotsava’.

1:37:14 – A story told by a devotee about a female and male dove; how he lost his dove in a hunter’s net. Grief is maya; one must glorify the Vaishnavas and hari-katha.
1:46:46 – Viraha-mahotsava (the great festival of separation). When Haridasa Thakur left this body, Mahaprabhu said: “Krishna is so merciful; He gave me the association of Haridasa.” All birth and death are in Krishna’s hands. Bhaktivinoda Thakur sings this song: “The Lord creates Brahma, Shivaji destroys, all according to Your desire. Maya-devi builds the prison; according to Your desire, living beings come and die; all this is Your desire. Remember Krishna and glorify the Vaishnavas.”
