At the end of Magha month in shukla-paksha Mahaprabhu took sannyasa. All material attachments of those who listen to Mahaprabhu’s sannyasa-lila will be destroyed. When we hear about Nityananda Prabhu’s lilas, our hearts will be purified and we will see aprakrita divya Vrindavana. At the level of bhava and prema the devotee will see transcendental Vrindavana by the mercy of Nityananda Prabhu. Verse: aśvamedhaṁ gavālambhaṁ sannyāsaṁ pala-paitṛkam… (CC Adi 17.164).

PART 1 Higher class people dominate society and enjoy different things. Srivasa Thakura and Advaita Acharya told the people that soon Lord Chaitanya would come and solve our problems. The scholar Nimai Pandita became Bhavuka Nimai, the one devoted to spiritual life. Lila of little Mahaprabhu teasing brahmanas. Nimai gives His own remains to the brahmanas, but they think Nimai is an ordinary boy and contaminate them. Mahaprabhu took sannyasa out of compassion to help the offenders to remove...

On Vaisnava suddha sadacara: good Vaisnava behaviour. Bhajana and sadhana are useless for one who commits offences. Only constant hearing of Harikatha can protect us from Maya. On nama-aparadha. In Kali-yuga people’s minds are contaminated by tama-guna, so it is difficult to meditate on the Lord. Even if your pronunciation is bad, the Lord accepts the chanting of the Holy Names anyway in Kali-yuga. The souls of Kali-yuga have innumerable defects and the Lord has invested all His potency...

Ambarisha Maharaja served Krishna with all the limbs of his body. Shloka: kṛṣṇa bhuli’ sei jīva anādi-bahirmukha (CC Madhya 20.117) – We do not serve Krishna, but merciful Guru and Vaishnavas always engage us in krishna-seva. Sambandha, abhidheya and prayojana are important in our spiritual life. Govinda, Gopinatha and Madana-Mohana deities take the form of Radha-Ramana deity. Gurupada-padma is the one who gives sambandha to his disciples. Shloka: dhyāna-mūlaṃ guror mūrtiḥ (Sri Guru...

The time women have to stay away from certain worship activities is during their cycle.

When aihuntiki sraddha, an unflinching faith, comes, we will know of our progress.

Knowledge will not help you perform sadhana and bhajana

How to accumulate sukrti

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, “Be surprised by how many stay in Krishna Consciousness.”

Chanting nama-aparadha will remove offences then sukrti will come.
