05 Sep 2025 morning – The Glories of Rama-lila (English), (Hindi), (English translation) | Australia

– There is no point in performing severe austerities for years just to obtain mystical powers with the intention of deceiving people.
– The abode of the Lord is reached only through the practice of bhakti, loving devotional service.
– Hanuman once used a mystical power that consists of becoming very small while crossing the ocean and a demon fought against him.
– Like Hanuman, those who are pure devotees also possess mystical powers, but they do not want to display their powers because Bhakti Devi does not manifest herself to those who use such powers.
– Ekadasi and nirjala are components of bhakti, not austerities in themselves.
– ⁠Gurudeva recounts the pastime where Hanumam and Arjuna measure each other’s strength to explain that Rama-lila and Krsna-lila, in essence, have no differences.
– We cannot focus only on Radha and Krsna if we do not yet possess Guru-nistha.
– We must receive Ramacandra’s mercy to attain gopi-bhava.
– As Rama teaches us, following all the rules outlined in the scriptures is our duty.
– Parama Gurudeva Narayna Gosvami Maharaja was a Rama-bhakta.
– Srila Gurudeva Narayna Gosvami Maharaja was born on a day when everyone was chanting Rama’s names.
