10 Sep 2024 midday – Svarupa Damodara Katha (English) | Murwillumbah, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

September 10, 2024 12:34 PM

Reasons why Svarupa Damodara is very prominent in Mahaprabhu’s lila. Yamuna-puline and Palya-dasi kori bhajana’s (Sri Gaudiya Giti-Guccha pages 115 & 130). Lalita Sakhi will give palya-dasi bhava. All katha regarding palya-dasi bhava and Ekadasa-bhavas are in Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura’s Jaiva-Dharma. Dekhite Dekhite bhajana (Sri Gaudiya Giti-Guccha page 114). First give up bodily conception then we can desire to be born in Yavat. The compassion of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, setting His...

Srila Gurudeva is grateful for the sincere words of the devotees. ⁠What you feel in your spiritual life comes from the causeless mercy of Guru and Krsna. ⁠Just as a blue lotus flower blooms with the rays of the moon, when the sadhaka receives the mercy of the Guru and the Vaisnavas, the lotus that is his heart blooms. ⁠The sadhaka who surrenders to Guru and Krsna on the platform of sandhini (existence), samvit (knowledge) and hladhini (bliss) will appear. ⁠All the scriptures extol sadhu-sanga...

September 6, 2024 12:10 PM

In a few days we will celebrate Radhaji’s happy birthday. Srimati Radhika is our heart and soul, She is our Istadevi.
