About Chaturmasya vrata. The celebration of Vyasa-puja began with Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Nityananda Prabhu received diksha from Laksmipati Tirtha. Lila of Nityananda Prabhu placing the Vyasa-puja garland on Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Music: Krsna Hoite Chaturmukha. Sloka: ahaṁ vedmi śuko vetti… (Cc. Madhya-lila 24.313).

If you remember Hari, Guru and Vaishnavas, all obstacles will disappear. On Hera-panchami in brief. The power and glory of sadhu-sanga. One gets it by the mercy of the Lord. Brihan-naradiya Purana 4.33: bhaktis tu bhagavad-bhakta sangena parijayate. Guru-mukha-padma-vākya, cittete koriyā aikya. Bhaktir evainam nayati bhaktir evainam pashyati.

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...

May 20, 2023 9:07 AM

Two meanings of vyasakuta. Perfect knowledge is that which has been realised. Reading Srimad-Bhagavatam without knowing its real meaning leads to hell. How to know the real meaning of Srimad-Bhagavatam (surrender to Hari, Guru and Vaishnavas). When you serve Guru and Vaishnavas, all tattva-siddhanta manifests in your heart. Story of Shankaracharya and his disciple Giri. Guru-seva brings the perfect realisation of the scriptures. Guru-nistha and guru-bhakti are the backbone of our spiritual life...

May 11, 2023 6:10 PM

About the transcendental madness of Srimati Radhika. About the gopis’ pathetic feeling of separation, they cry and cry. Krsna promised the gopis that He would return in two days, but He has not returned, yet the gopis believe that He will return. On Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s feeling of separation. All knowledge is useless if the mind is not concentrated on Krsna. Story of the supposedly intelligent guru and his supposedly ignorant disciple who walk through a forest and meet a tiger...

Hearing about the Acaryas of the past leads us to meet them directly today. About a lila in which Srila Gurudeva BV Narayana Gosvami Maharaja perfectly glorified Srila Gurudeva Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada after seeing him through the lotus mouth of his Srila Gurudeva Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja. This darsana is more real than seeing Gurudeva with the eyes without having realisation or sincerity in the heart. Lila about the letter that Rukmini wrote to Krsna. One who...
