After accumulating sukrti from many lives, we obtain sadhu-sanga, and after listening to the sadhu’s Harikatha, the desire for Bhakti manifests in the heart.
Srila Visvanatha Cakravartipada says “adau sadhu-sanga” (first sadhu-sanga) and Srila Rupa Gosvami says “adam sraddha tatu sadhu-sanga” (first faith, then sadhu-sanga).
The highest place for spiritual practices (under the guidance of a vraja-rasika-sadhu) is Radha Kunda.
Song: Kabe Lokanatha Mora.
The 8 kunjas that are in Radha Kunda, and the Svananda Sukhadha kunda, of Ananga Manjari, which is in the center.
Mantra: dhyana mulam gurur murti, puja mulam guru padam, mantra mulam guru vakyam, moksa mulam guru-krpa.
The real definition of mukti (liberation) is to receive service at the lotus feet of the Divine Couple in Their transcendental abode, and this is achieved only due to the mercy of the Guru.
The manjaris never meet independently with Krsna.
Srila Raghunatha Dasa’s glorification of his Guru, Srila Rupa Gosvami, is perfect.
The moods of prema should be kept secret, they should not be exposed openly.
The story of Maha Kumba Mela Festival.
The darsan of pure Vaisnavas immediately purifies everything and everyone. They even purify the sacred tirthas (places).
Everyone should go at least once to bathe in some sacred tirtha (Radha Kunda, Yamuna, Ganges), Ganga Sagara, etc).
