Mahaprabhu manifested the most confidential rasa to Raya Ramananda. The practitioner enters spiritual life only by following varnasrama-dharma. On the book of instructions for human beings: Manu Samhita. What is the svarupa-anubandhi-vrtti, the inherent nature of the soul? The nitya-siddha-krsna-prema is present in everyone, even if it is dormant, and through sadhana it is awakened. Narada Muni’s sense of humour. The story of how Narada Rsi spoke harikatha to Prahlada Maharaja in his...

PART 1 Caitanya Mahaprabhu asks a question: “Which of the instructions is most important for the soul?” Hearing about the amorous pastimes of Radha and Krishna is like a medicinal tonic for the ears. Conditioned souls only want to hear about worldly things. Anyone who wants to hear about Krishna’s pastimes faces many obstacles: headaches, sleep, etc. At the beginning of sadhana-bhakti, two leaves of bhakti appear: klesagni and subadha – all afflictions disappear and the...

All knowledge is useless if the mind is not concentrated on Krsna. Story of the supposedly intelligent guru and his supposedly ignorant disciple who walk through a forest and meet a tiger...

The meaning of the food remnants of a Vaishnava. 5 primary and 7 secondary rasas. Sri radhaya pranaya mahima sloka. The reasons why Mahaprabhu came into this world. Sacinandana Gaurahari gives His mercy by force to those who do not want to receive it. Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to South India to supposedly meet His brother Vishvarupa, but actually to meet Raya Ramananda. Raya Ramananda is VIshakha-devi. Why did Mahaprabhu want to meet Raya Ramananda (Vishakha-devi) and not Svarupa Damodara or...
