Before beginning a song, we should read its meaning and translation, so our hearts will be touched. To truly listen means to practice what you have heard.

What our Guru Parampara is saying...
28 Dec 2025 morning – Tolerance (English) – Sao Paulo, Brazil | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
The Deity (Vigraha) is no different from the Lord. We must serve the Vaishnavas and chant the Holy Names, thus we will soon attain our perfection.

Sadhu-sanga, Harikatha, and maha-prasada are very rare things; try to understand this! Sloka: nayanaṁ galad-aśru-dhārayā… (Śrī Śikṣāṣṭakam 6).
