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.
