23 Oct 2026 morning – Prema-vivarta, Day 3 (English translation) – Delhi, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Prema-vivarta, Day 3: Ekātmā Means Śrī Caitanya — Brahma, Paramātmā and Rādhā-pada-dāsī • Ekātmā Is Not Nirvikāra Brahma: Continuing Prema-vivarta from Day 2, Gurudeva takes the word ekātmā in the maṅgalācaraṇa śloka. If one reads it as formless brahma from which Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa take form, that is not the verse’s intention; the two are one ātmā as Caitanya-prakāśa (Prema-vivarta 1.43–44). • Caitanya Never Brahma: Mahāprabhu is never nirvikāra brahma; He is viśuddha sākāra, full of ānanda-vikāra...

22 Oct 2026 evening – Hari-katha (Hindi) – Delhi, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
The Power of Māyā and the Backbone of Bhajana: Nāma-niṣṭhā and Guru-niṣṭhā • Writing Is Evidence: Spoken words may be accepted or not, but what is written remains as evidence and keeps being preached. Scholars of other sampradāyas ask where Rādhā’s name is in “anayārādhito”, while Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas accept it through hearing again and again and through faith in their guru (Bhāgavatam 10.30.28). • One Guru’s View: A śloka has many meanings through its verbal roots, as Mahāprabhu showed Sanātana...

Prema Beyond Self-interest: Śikṣāṣṭaka 8, the Veṇu-gīta and Rādhā’s Abhisāra • Worldly Love Turns Violent: There is love in every baddha jīva, but where self-interest is hurt, that love turns into violence, abuse and hatred. True prema does not look to its own happiness; Rādhā even says She would fall at the feet of the one Kṛṣṇa desires so that He is not unhappy (Caitanya-caritāmṛta Antya 20.52–53). • Śikṣāṣṭaka 8: Let Him embrace Me or trample Me, give darśana or break My heart, let...
