Eve of the Vyasapuja of Srila Gurudeva Sri Srimad BV Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, adhivasa-vasa.
Adhivasa-tithi and its two meanings: making arrangements for the celebration of the following day and also performing various pujas (ceremonies) causing all bad omens to go away.
Mauni-amavasya (new moon of silence) and transcendental appearance of Srila Gurudeva Narayana Gosvami Maharaja.
We should ask: Who remained silent and why did they remain silent on Mauni Amavasya? Devadi Deva Mahadeva Sivaji.
The specialty of this Mauni Amavasya, a story contained in the Ramayana.
Sivaji is always chanting the Holy Names with his five mouths and saying Harikatha to his wife Parvati.
The two offenses of Devi Parvati.
Meaning of duplicity and hypocrisy.
Everyone should acquire the book Vyasapuja, by Srila Gurudeva Vana Gosvami Maharaja, which discusses the meaning of Vyasapuja.
Vaisnava conception: Param Gurudeva Srila Narayana Maharaja was born on an amavasya-tithi (new moon, dark sky) because he is like a thief stealing the hearts of all living beings and stealing all darkness.
Whoever is born in the midst of a Sankirtana is extremely fortunate.
Personally serve Guru, Vaisnavas, and Bhagavan.
The flower given to Guru on Vyasapuja symbolizes the heart.
