– The meaning of Parsva Ekadasi relates to when the Lord sleeps, and Uttana Ekadasi to when the Lord awakens.
– The house of a person who practices sadhana becomes Goloka Vrndavana.
– When a pure sadhu goes to your house, the house becomes a maha-tirtha, a place of pilgrimage; it is purified.
– A house whose inhabitants do not practice sadhana is like a snake’s den; Ravana’s house is an example.
– The five chaste women: Kunti, Draupadi, Mandodari, Ahilya, and Tara.
– A house where there is no Harikatha is hell.
– Mahaprabhu used to go to Srivasa’s house on Ekadasi days.
– Song: Hari Haraye Namah Krsna Yadava Namah.
– On Ekadasi days, the seeds of all sins go into the five kinds of grains.
– You must accept what the sastras say.
– Krsna says: “First worship the lotus feet of My devotee, then worship Me.”
– In Kali-yuga, chant the Mahamantra.
– Mahadeva’s lila explaining to Parvati that one thousand names of Visnu correspond to one name of Rama; three names of Rama correspond to one name of Krsna; and that one hundred names of Krsna correspond to one name of Radha.
– Chanting only Radha’s name does not satisfy Her. Chanting only Krsna’s name does not satisfy Him. Chant the names of the Divine Couple!
– Mahaprabhu tells His Karuna-prakash (manifestation of Mercy) to go everywhere freely, indiscriminately. This mercy comes from Srimati Radhika.
