09 Nov 2024 evening (in front of the room) – Gopashtami (English translation) | Govardhana, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

Difference between cow’s milk and buffalo’s milk.

Gopastami is the auspicious day to take care of cows and calves.

The lila of when Prithvi Devi became as light as cotton due to the power of sadhu-sanga.

In sadhu-sanga we should hear harikatha from the sadhu’s lotus lips.

The lila of the conversation between Nanda Maharaja and Krsna, when He asked all the cows to wear shoes and umbrellas.

Today is a day to get the mercy of Srimati Radhika.
