Prema-vivarta, Day 2: The Eternal Present, the Meaning of “Adhunā” and the Sweetness of Caitanya-murati • Viruddha-dharmāśraya: Continuing from Day 1, Gurudeva explains Rādhā as the shelter of contradictory qualities: Her prema has no room to grow yet keeps growing; She is guru of all yet considers Herself lowly; She is pure yet shows vakratā, as prema at its height moves crookedly like a snake (Prema-vivarta 1.24–25). • Nitya-vartamāna: In the cid-jagat there is no fault of time, no past or...

Vijayā-daśamī and Śrī Madhvācārya: Sampradāya, Bheda-vāda and the Refutation of Māyāvāda • Vijayā-daśamī: On Daśamī, Gurudeva recalls, Rāmacandra set out for Laṅkā with the vānara armies after the four months of rains. Vijayā-daśamī is one of four days in the year, with Vasanta-pañcamī, Rāma-navamī and Akṣaya-tṛtīyā, when no muhūrta need be consulted. • Why a Sampradāya: The guru-paramparā connects us directly with Kṛṣṇa, from Kṛṣṇa to Brahmā, Nārada, Vyāsa and Madhva (kṛṣṇa haite catur-mukha...

Śrī Madhvācārya’s Appearance Day: The Four Sampradāyas, Lakṣmī and the Gopīs • Rāmānuja’s Viśiṣṭādvaita: Rāmānujācārya taught that Brahman is one but qualified by unlimited qualities, as “red” qualifies a horse. Against the advaitavādīs he showed that Bhagavān has a form, though not a prākṛta one, and manifests different svarūpas to His bhaktas according to their prema. • Madhva’s Five Differences: Madhvācārya, without compromise, made bheda primary: between Īśvara and jīva (vibhu and aṇu...

The Art of Living without Attachment: Questions on Nāma, Yogamāyā and Ātyantikī Śraddhā • Kathā or Mālā: In this informal room session Gurudeva says the mind cannot be absorbed in kathā and mālā at once; only those of a high level can, like the gopīs who carry water pots on their heads while talking with their sakhīs. At kathā time, hear kathā even if the number of rounds becomes less. • Faith in Hari-nāma: Having come to Mahāprabhu’s feet, have faith that He will take us; Bhagavān forgives...
