Krsna is weeping and Yasoda is putting Him down. She is going to save milk. Why? There are two things, milk and Krsna. To whom does mother Yasoda have more affection for? For Krsna or for the clothes and milk? We should give our whole attention to satisfy Krsna. But with Yasoda, we are seeing the opposite…
Tridandisvami Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja Mathura, India: September 14, 2002 (am) [In the early morning of September 14th, in order to commence the celebration of Sri Radhastami in the opulently decorated Sri Kesavaji Gaudiya Matha in Mathura, Srila Narayana Maharaja requested Krsnadasa Brahmacari to lead the assembled devotes in singing Sri Krsna Virahe by…
At night, a flower bed for Priyaji Srimati Radharani and Krishna is prepared, on which ladoos, datun (toothpick), paan (betel), and garland are kept. In the morning when we come here, the ladoos are half-eaten, the datun are used, the betel is half-eaten and the flower bed is also disarranged. Darsana of all these things can be seen every day during mangala arati at five a.m., in the summer time, and during winter, it is at six a.m. This incident with (Srila) Narayana Maharajji is about seven or eight years ago, I am not sure maybe, it had been seven or eight years roughly. After I put Thakuraji and Srimatiji to rest, I went back home. I am a servant of Sriji, I take bliss daily in their lila, devotees also do the same. So that night I was asleep, Sriji (Srimati Radhika) appeared and gave me an order that there is one of My sakhis, My manjari sakhis, Narayana Maharajji, who is in Sridham Vrindavan, go and give My prasada to him…
Now we will try to understand the tattvas of the anubhava–mayi bhava-sarira Vrajavasis. We shall try to learn what Sri Rupa Gosvami has said according to tattva. In practicing nama-sankirtana, the Vrajavasis have one condition: in order to do hari-bhajana there is no consideration of class, creed, or where you take birth, but you must…
God cannot tolerate those who are against Vaisanvas and try to make Vaisnavas their servants. Krsna never tolerates this. If you serve Gurudeva and God, then everybody will serve you and follow you. But if you do not serve and rather think that you are the prince and everybody should follow your footsteps and lick your toes, then it is impossible that sincere devotees will follow and serve you…
How could the disciple possibly be equal to Gurudeva? If the disciple desires to be equal to or greater than his Guru, he will always be two fingers short, like the rope of Yasoda Mata when she tried to tie Krsna. I have seen many things throughout my life. Srila Gurudeva used to explain everything in his classes. The disciple has to perform anusarana, not anukarana…
As she did parikrama, she would weep and say, “Oh Radhe! Oh Radhe!” when she chanted Srimati Radhika’s name, tears continuously flowed from her eyes. Except for me, no one saw her crying. Her tears were not an artificial display. I took the dust of that lady’s feet and told her…
You may call on any member of my travelling group and ask them if I have spoken about rasa. They have travelled with me to many places; we just came from Holland after staying there for ten days. These devotees who are making this false propaganda are only trying to tarnish my preaching services…
If you want to be happy in this world, then accept an exalted, transcendental Guru who knows Gita, Bhagavatam, the Puranas and Vedas, who can remove all doubts, and who chants harinama sankirtana purely, following trnad api sunicena taror iva sahisnuna. Such a Guru practices bhakti as received from…
