Through harinama it is possible to achieve everything: harer nāma harer nāma (CC Madhya 6.242). Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu says: “O Raya Ramananda, O Svarupa Damodara, how should one chant? In sadhu-sanga and nama-sankirtana, this is the method.” There is no difference between nama (name) and nami (the Lord). Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Nama and Nami, it is nama-vigraha-svarupa, to think that they are different is an offense. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu made a garland of nama-prema and put it on...

22 Mar 2024 afternoon – The Humor of Mahaprabhu’s Dasya Corresponds to the Gopis’ Radha Dasya (Hindi) – Sri Navadvipa-dhama, India Srila BV Vana Maharaja

21 Mar 2024 morning – Nirdaya-ghata (Hindi) – Sri Navadvipa-dhama, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Why do we do Navadvipa Parikrama? Caitanya Mahaprabhu bathed here. Sloka: aradhitam nava-vanam vraja-kananam te (Navadvipa Satakam 78). Whoever takes shelter in Navadvipa reaches Vrndavana, whoever does not take shelter will never reach it. Whoever takes shelter of Mahaprabhu reaches Krsna, otherwise he will never reach it. After Mahaprabhu accepted sannyasa, He began to do kirtana at Srivasa’s house. Mahaprabhu accepted sannyasa from Kesava Bharati in Kantara-nagara. About your types...
