After Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami disappeared, Jiva Gosvami spread the mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu all over the world. He wrote many books, including the Six Sandarbhas and Sarva-Samvadini (Jiva Gosvami’s own commentary on his Six Sandarbhas), because he wanted to protect the world from incorrect philosophical conceptions and conclusions…
Now so long I am not dying, let me enjoy. Ṛṇaṁ kṛtvā ghṛtaṁ pibet. Enjoyment means… According to our Indian system, their enjoyment is not meat-eating as in the Western countries. Their enjoyment is eating ghee more, become chubby, fatty. That is their enjoyment…
Krishna has said that He becomes very pleased with that person who serves guru with a loving and pure heart, offering niskapata-seva with love and affection, not caring for his own discomfort, bodily pain, unhappiness or distress…
That dog will die one day, and his cruel master will not return. But Lord Krsna is always controlled by the love of His devotees, and they cannot die. When they weep like this they become mad: and from time to time Lord Krsna comes and pacifies them. But they will say they have seen Him only in a dream. They will consider, “Perhaps I was mad, and that is why I thought I saw Him; but I have not really seen Him…”
We should try to mix our hearts with the heart of Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami. Without avesa we cannot taste all these mellows. When we hear and read these verses, we should identify ourselves as followers of Raghunatha dasa Gosvami and try to make our hearts one with his…
To prevent calamity falling upon you, strive to always act humbly under the guidance of higher Vaisnava authorities. Never yearn to be the master. The constitutional nature of the jiva is that he is the eternal servant of Krsna. As long as the jiva is against his true nature of being the servant, he will try to be the master, and will remain circling life after life in samsara. That day that we consider that, life after life, for all time, our greatest fortune will be to be the insignificant servant of Hari, Guru and Vaisnavas, then our good fortune has truly dawned…
Anyone who is taking shelter of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna and pure Vaisnavas should not worship demigods. Rather, they should worship and serve Rupa and Sanatana, Yamuna, Govardhana, Radha-Kunda, Syama-Kunda, Vrnda-devi, Lalita and Visakha, and others of their caliber…
Srila Gurudeva: I will slap you. Sannyasis should not fall down, and brahmacaris should prepare to become sannyasis in the future. One who gives up either the sannyasa or brahmacari asrama has no bhakti. Be careful. What you want depends on you. I cannot control you…
Even you old persons – why do you want to marry again? Perhaps you are very lusty. My dear friends, don’t be angry with me. I am your well-wisher, your eternal well-wisher, so come and follow me. By the order of Srila Bhaktivedanta Svami Maharaja, my Gurudeva, and my guru parampara, I have come here to save you from this vast ocean of lust. Don’t go there! Otherwise, a big Mahabharata battle will come and you will be killed…
