Parsva Ekadasi

Sri Yudhishthira Maharaja asked of Lord Sri Krishna, "What is the name of that Ekadasi that occurs during the light fortnight (shukla paksha) of the month of Bhadrapada (August-September "Hrishikesha mase") ?

"The Sari disaster"

Real Caturmasya was observed by Aindra Prabhu !

I have only seen one Sadhu in my life that really observed Caturmasya the way Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada used to observe it.

Bhakti Vikas Swami is not exempt from chanting 64 rounds

Bhakti Vikas Swamis misconception!

I was listening to a lecture of his he told his disciples we cannot force an entrance to Krsna loka by fasting on Ekadasi as Nirjala and chant 64ounds will not kick in the door to Goloka.However Lord Caitanya begged all devotees to chant 64 rounds ,so this is mandatory,Lord Caitanya accepted no offerings without one chanting 64 rounds...fully fasting on Ekadasi as Nirjala and on Vinuttava days are helpful for Bhakti these are all Angas of Bhakti ,,so… Continue
