13 Apr 2025 evening – The Glories of Nityananda Prabhu (English) | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • The granthas are our Constitution, or our book of laws.
  • The Guru is the one who guides us on the spiritual path.
  • Song: Nitai Pada Kamala.
  • When you receive the mercy of Nityananda Prabhu you will reach the spiritual abode and serve the Divine Couple directly.
  • ⁠Nitai gives the knowledge by which we learn to serve Radha and Krsna.
  • ⁠Gaura Sundara is very merciful, but Nitai is even more merciful!
  • ⁠Gaura Sundara sometimes gets angry, but Nityananda Prabhu never gets angry, he is always calm and peaceful.
  • ⁠Song: Akrodha Paramananda.
  • Example of Jagai and Madhai.
  • In this world, if we obtain some qualification, we become proud, but Nitai is devoid of any false ego.
  • Nitai goes from house to house asking everyone to chant the Holy Names.
  • Nityananda Prabhu distributes the highest prema through Harinama-sankirtana.
  • Gurudeva extols the beautiful Deity of Nitai present in the Temple where he is at the moment.
  • Without strength (bala), we cannot do anything.
  • Spiritual strength comes directly from Baladeva Prabhu.
  • Baladeva Prabhu can control Krsna, because He is His elder brother.
  • If Guru and Krsna are in the same room, you should first offer obeisances to Guru and then to Krsna, because this is the instruction of Krsna Himself.
  • ⁠No one can hold Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, only Nityananda Prabhu can.
  • Caitanya Maharaprabhu’s pastime at the Ratha Yatra in Jagannatha Puri, in which He manifests the mood of Radha.
