Discourses in Hindi 2026
29 Oct 2026 evening – Sri Bhagavat-saptaha, day 7 (Hindi) – Delhi, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
• The Seventh Day: Gurudeva opens the seventh day of the Bhāgavata-kathā, which has been extended by one more day. Śāstra says the havana should follow the full seven days; in Bengal this is kept strictly, though elsewhere it is often done earlier.
