Cit-bala means spiritual strength. Baladeva Prabhu is Akanda-guru-tattva. Without spiritual strength, without the mercy of the Guru, it is not possible to progress in spiritual life. Baladeva Prabhu was the seventh son of Devaki. After being in the womb of Devaki for six months, He was transferred, by Yoga Maya, to the womb of Rohini Devi. The six babies of Devaki who were born before Balarama and Krsna, represent six anarthas, such as anger, lust, envy, etc. Srila Rupa Gosvami’s...

Follow what is in Gurudeva’s heart.

Krsna comes in the form of harikatha and makes Maya stay away.

We cannot progress without listening to harikatha.

We become absorbed in false things.

As we age, our senses fail and we begin to wither.

We have dhama darsana with the ears.

With rasika association, our anarthas gradually decrease.

If we perform parikarma alone, without the sadhu, no fruit will come.

Verse: kṛṣṇa-mantra haite habe saṁsāra-mocana (Caitanya-caritamrta, Ādi lila, 7.73). When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu took sannyasa, the advaita-vadis criticised Him for dancing and singing in various places. Mahaprabhu received the gopala-mantra from his guru, this mantra gives detachment from sense gratification (he is mantra-raja, the king of mantras). Srimati Radhika taught the kama-gayatri mantra to Visvanatha Cakravartipada. To learn more about this mantra, read Mantrartha Dipika. Sriman...
