14 Aug 2024 midday – Sri Rupa Gosvami Fulfilled All Mahaprabhu’s Desires (English) | London, United Kingdom | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Travelling means trouble. Our best doctors are Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda Prabhu. In Kali-yuga, all living entities are contaminated by maya. 6 types of people do not want to take vraja-prema from Mahaprabhu, but He gives it to them anyway. Srimati Radhika, as a village girl, wants to hear hari-katha from Sanatana Gosvami and Rupa Gosvami. Rupa Gosvami surrendered completely to Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and fulfilled all His desires. Jayadeva Gosvami could not write the verse...

06 Oct 2023 midday – Our Goal is Radha-dasyam Under the Guidance of Rupa Manjari (English) – Murwillumbah, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Gurudeva remembers the places, the footprints, and the hari-katha of his Guru and of Vrndavana. Gurudeva sings Radha Kunda Tata. When you do a little devotional service, the stimuli to remember Vrndavana come. In one life Ajamila reached Vaikuntha by chanting nama-abhasa. It takes at least three lives to reach Vrndavana. To be a servant of Srimati Radhika in Vrndavana, one must do severe austerities, work hard. Do sadhana and bhajana, without that it is not possible to reach the goal of...
