16 Sep 2026 morning – The Appearance Day of Sita Thakurani (English) – Christchurch, New Zealand | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

– According to Gaura-ganoddesha-dipika,  Sita Thakurani, the consort of Advaita Acharya, is the expansion of Paurnamasi-devi.

– Advaita Acharyа took diksha from Madhavendra Puripada.

– Lila: Advaita Acharya wanted to get chastisement from Mahaprabhu, so he intentionally started to read Yoga-vasishtha (a Mayavada book) and was beaten by Mahaprabhu.

– Advaita Acharya opened a vyakarana (grammar school) and Vishvarupa, the elder brother of Mahaprabhu, used to visit it.

– Lila: Advaita Acharya wanted to invite only Mahaprabhu to take prasada alone at his home without sannyasis and other devotees.

– It was a tradition of sadhus in former times to honour maha-prasada on banana leaves, but this changed as time and circumstances changed. .

– Sita Thakurani’s vatsalya-bhava towards Mahaprabhu.

– When the soul achieves the perfection stage, siddhi-dasha, it will be divided into two forms to serve Mahaprabhu in Shvetadvipa-dhama and Krishna in Vrindavana-dhama.

– A shloka explaining that only fortunate persons can see Mahaprabhu’s pastimes: adyāpiha sei līlā kare gaura-rāya…(Caitanya-bhagavata Madhya-khanda 10.283).

– A shloka proving that gaura-lila and krishna-lila are taking place simultaneously: gopīnāṁ kuca-kuṅkumena nicitaṁ vāsaḥ kim asyāruṇaṁ…(Sacinandashtaka 1).

– We should accept only those granthas that are accepted by our Gosvamis.

– Nitai Gaura Radhe Shyam Hare Krishna Hare Ram is not a perfect mantra because there is rasa-abhasa dosha present. Therefore, we should not chant it.

– Do not disturb the mood of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. He accepted the mood of Srimati Radhika as Krishna’s bhakta. Therefore, although He is Krishna Himself, He cannot accept a peacock feather in His hair.
