  • The meeting of Srila Gurudeva Bhaktivedanta Vana Gosvami Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivedanta Raksaka Sriddhara Deva Gosvami Maharaja at Devananda Gaudiya Matha.

  • Narada Rsi’s curse on Manigriva and Nalakuvara.
  • Srila Gurudeva Narayana Gosvami Maharaja’s Harikatha was unique and incomparable.
  • The story of Seva Kunja’s pujari who brought a prasada to Srila Gurudeva Narayana Gosvami Maharaja after dreaming of Radharani.
  • Understanding the Guru Parampara is extremely important for spiritual life.
  • Whoever has unwavering faith in the Guru’s instructions will attain the highest goal.

  • Sloka: anarpita-carīṁ cirāt… (CC Adi-lila 1.4).
  • Chant the Holy Names, perform bhajana and sadhana, and never criticize anyone, for criticism causes those sins to reflect in the heart of the one who criticizes.
