We should worship the lotus feet of Sri Guru every day. According to Gurudeva, the only day we don’t worship the Guru is the day we stop breathing. By associating with sadhus (saints) we attain the highest perfection, which consists of self-realizing our transcendental form and establishing a loving relationship with Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Radha Krishna.

It is very difficult to understand the behaviour of Vaishnavas. Conditioned souls think that Vaishnavas are like ordinary people. Valmiki’s Ramayana and Hanuman’s Ramayana are the same, there is no difference. The flowers of Ravana’s palace. Direct darshana and darshana through meditation. Yudhishthira Maharaja called Duryodhana Suryodhana. The jewel of a saint is tolerance. By doing bhajana, little by little, all the anarthas will go away. External guru-puja and internal guru...
