- Song: Suddha Bhakta.
- One who practices bhajana and sadhana in his house, that house is called Goloka Vrndavana.
- Today is the disappearance of Srila Abhirama Thakura, a very dear devotee of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and an Uttama-maha-bhagavata.
- Abhirama Thakura held a type of whip that when struck, Krsna-prema manifested in that person’s heart.
- Abhirama Thakura was always absorbed in Gaura Nitai and always chanting His Names
- Mahaprabhu’s pastime with the little boy Gopal-guru and Srila Abhirama Thakura.
- Two types of doctors: one who just gives a palliative, or blows on the wound, and the other who removes the pus, operates and stitches the wound.
- While the operation is being performed, you complain and curse, but when you are cured, you repent and thank the doctor for having saved your life.
- The Guru is just like this doctor who operates on the heart; now we do not realize His mercy and say, “Oh Gurudeva, you have broken my heart.” But later we will realize, “Oh! He is giving me suddha-bhakti.”
- The Holy Name is always pure, there are no rules for chanting It, we can do It in any circumstance.
- Srimad Bhagavatam gives evidence that everything that belongs to the Vaisnavas is equally transcendental.
- The Lord’s garland is not different from Him, we should accept it with honor.
- On the days of appearance and disappearance of the Vaisnavas we should glorify them, so that they will be pleased and bless us.
- This age of Kali is special, Dhanya Kali-yuga, since Sacinandana Gaura Hari does not come in every Kali-yuga.
- Normally people want to go to the heavenly planets, but there the demigods are praying to the Lord to be born here, especially in Navadvipa Dhama, during this Kali-yuga.
- In this Kali-yuga, Mahaprabhu is freely distributing the highest prema, Golokera prema-dhana, the prema that is rare even for Narada, Siva and Brahma.
- Even if one chants the Holy Name with a different pronunciation, for example, “Krushna”, there is no problem, because the Lord accepts their bhava: feeling.
- Mahaprabhu gave direct instruction to chant the mantra of this age: the Hare Krsna Mahamantra.
- Some people mix it up and chant, “Nitai Gaura Radhe Syam Hare Krsna Hare Rama,” but that is not correct!
- Our duty is to follow the instruction of Sriman Mahaprabhu.
