– If you dance in front of Thakuraji, Maya-devi will leave you alone. If you do not dance in front of Them, however, Maya-devi will make you dance in front of her instead. – Even spending a moment in the association of a sadhu is very powerful. – Our aim is to attain vraja-prema. – When a sadhaka attains prema, his soul is divided into two. One part serves in gaura-lila and the other in krishna-lila. – Vipralabha has four types: purvaraga, mana, pravasa and prema...

Gaura means “fair skin”, and Hari means “thief”, therefore Gaurahari means the one who steals someone’s fair skin, that is, Krsna steals the fair skin of Srimati Radharani. Love does not use direct words, it acts in zigzag. “Gau” means Govinda and “Ra” means Radharani, so Gaura is Krsna who comes in the combined form of Radha and Govinda. Verse: śrī-rādhāyāḥ praṇaya-mahimā…(Śrī CC Ādi-līlā 1.6). Krsna and His potency are always together, but sometimes it is in manifest form and sometimes...

Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu danced in the Ratha-yatra as a 16-year-old boy. Stupid people say that Gaudiya Vaishnavas have no guru-parampara. The description of our guru-parampara. Siddha-pranali is a perfect process to achieve a goal. Siddha-pranali of Mahaprabhu and Srila Rupa Gosvami. Your potential is within you, it cannot be changed, but it can be developed to appear (examples with different seeds, Pandavas and the disciples Vijaya Kumara and Vrajanatha). Verse: nitya-siddha kṛṣṇa-prema...

Dialogue about prema between the gopis and Krsna. ⁠Categories of prema:Hetu-prema: love with a cause;Ahetu-prema: love without a cause;Aptakama: self-satisfied;Aptarama: fulfills one’s desires;Gurudrohi: offender;Krtajnata: gratitude;Akrtajnata: ingratitude. Krsna tells the gopis that His feelings are not in these categories of prema because He has sahaja-prema: spontaneous love. ⁠It is not perfect to say “I love Gurudeva” because Guru is asraya-tattva and we feel love for visaya-tattva...

Before taking diksha, carefully realise our guru-parampara. Pancharatriki-parampara and bhagavatiya-parampara. How Baladeva Vidyabhushana Prabhu proved that Srimati Radharani was married to Sri Krishna. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura boldly opened his siddha-pranali. 2 types of siddha-pranali. Shraddha, sadhu-sanga, bhajana-kriya, anartha-nivritti, nishtha, ruchi, asakti, bhava and prema. Do not hear hari-katha from a non-Vaishnava.
