30 Jan 2026 evening – Nityananda Trayodasi (English) – Santiago, Chile | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • Today is the appearance of Akhanda-guru-tattva (Undivided Principle of Sri Guru): Nityananda Prabhu.
  • In Krishna’s lila, Baladeva Prabhu is Rohini-nandana, son of Rohini Devi. In Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s lila, Nitai is the son of Padmavati and His father is Hadai Pandita.
  • Nityananda Prabhu was born in Ekacakra.
  • Without the mercy of Nityananda Prabhu, no one can enter into suddha-bhakti.
  • He who wishes to immerse himself in the ocean of divine love and cross the ocean of Maya must surrender absolutely at the lotus feet of Nityananda Prabhu.
  • Krishna Dasa Kaviraja Gosvami’s pastime was leaving his house and completely surrendering himself at the lotus feet of Nitai and Goura.
  • Miniketan Ramadasa was always absorbed in Nityananda Prabhu.
  • Miniketan Ramadasa visited Krishna Dasa Kaviraja Gosvami, and his pujari (Gunarnava Misra) continued worshipping the Deities instead of revering the newly arrived devotee.
  • One who does not give due respect to Sri Guru is not qualified to speak Harikatha.
  • The definition of kanistha-adhikari consists of a devotee who worships his Thakuraji, but with a very tender faith, without knowing how to respect the Vaishnavas because he has little knowledge of the Scriptures.
  • During the Kurukshetra war, Baladeva Prabhu said that he would not participate in that war and went on a pilgrimage.
  • The name Lomaharshana means: the one who hears Harikatha and feels his hair stand on end. However, Balarama cut off his head with a very sharp blade of grass because he did not know how to respect Him properly.
  • Nityananda Prabhu appeared in the dreams of Krsna Dasa Kaviraja Gosvami, and in this way he surrendered to Nitai.
  • Baladeva Prabhu touched Suta Gosvami’s head, and through this mercy, Suta Gosvami began to speak Harikatha.
  • Knowledge alone is not enough; see the example of Kamsa, who was a very learned brahmana.
  • The essence of all the Vedas, Puranas, and Upanishads is the Srimad Bhagavatam.
  • Without the mercy of Nityananda Prabhu, no one will give us shelter.
