The katha of Srimad-Bhagavatam begun by Vyasadeva continues to be disseminated through the Guru Parampara. The six questions the Rsis asked Suta Gosvami. The essence of all the Vedas is in Srimad-Bhagavatam. Without Radha, Krsna is incomplete. There is no difference between potency and the possessor of potency. The Srimad-Bhagavatam is the supreme scripture that expresses and reveals prema. There are earlier stages of prema, like Vaikuntha and Dvaraka. On who is the original Lord, the source of...

PART 1 The katha of Srimad-Bhagavatam begun by Vyasadeva continues to be disseminated through the Guru Parampara. The six questions the Rsis asked Suta Gosvami.

PART 1 Gundicha Mandira marjana-lila, the pastime of cleaning the Gundicha temple. Lord Jagannatha is patita-pavana (the Saviour of fallen souls). Once a year He comes out of the temple and grants darshana to all living beings indiscriminately. Lord Jagannatha goes from Puri to Gundicha. If you see Lord Jagannatha in the chariot, all your sins will be destroyed. If you dance and chant in front of Lord Jagannatha, you will attain gopi-prema. Lord Brahma tried to reach the dust from the lotus...

PART 1 Because Radha does not abandon Her mana, Krsna asks Her to place Her feet on His head, She looks at Him affectionately and cries. Krsna’s highest heroic aspect is called dhira-lalita-nayaka. You must chant the holy names with your japa-mala because the japa-mala that the Guru gives comes with potency. If you buy a japa-mala and chant the holy names, there is no power there. Bhagavat-jnana and atma-jnana: to know about these subjects one needs pranipatа (giving pranamas)...

April 14, 2023 9:37 AM

The diksha mantras are very powerful. Dhruva Maharaja received diksha from a great devotee and after six months he received darshana from Lord Visnu. You are not having darsana of Lord Vishnu because one has to chant his mantras with firm faith. The imperfect pronunciation of the mantra is not a problem, a father loves to hear his baby’s babbling words. The word mantra means: man = mind, and, tra = protect. Chant the mantras with simple faith, not crooked, not cunning. Practice sadhana...
