* A pastime from when Kaliya Krishnasa is kidnapped by gypsies and Mahaprabhu rescues Krishnasa from that gypsy life.
* If we do not completely surrender to the Guru, we will never be free from Maya.
* It is not enough to simply serve the Guru. This is the lesson that the pastime of Krishnasa, that servant of Mahaprabhu who was captured, gives us.
* Every day we have to analyze how much we are surrendering.
* Kaliya Krishna performs this lila only to teach us about complete surrender to the Guru.
* Accepting a Guru but not following his instructions is following the logic of the half-chicken.
