Thank you Basu Ghosh  , I read it carefully ,the fact is I do not care much about the opinions of this Gaudiya math,they are deviant too.How you may ask? They teach grhasthas who live outside ,just do minimum 4 rounds ,what is there adhhikari to understand Ujjvala Nilamani? Ujvala Nilamani and such books are for advanced devotees, but no to be ignored it is a continuation of Bhaktirasamrta Sindhu also by Srila Rupa Goswami ,it is wonderful book,I have read it many times.But my focus is on…

Lord Caitanya has given us a Yugalkisora mantra..because the Hare Krishna Mahamantra invokes Radha Krsna.The Mahamantra is non different from Radha Krsna, Sri Krsna Caitanya Radha Krsna nahe anya ..Lord Caitanya is Radha Krishna combined so when we chant the Mahamantra we should remember each syllabel each name is Radha Krsna and chant every single word...if we chant with great…

I once heard about Visnujana Swami from Tamala Krsna Maharaja in Vrindavan, he stated Visnujana asked the question about Chota Haridasa ,and Srila Prabhupada confirmed it is better to commit suicide than fall down as a sannyasi, but then stated that one should just stay on in KC, but I personally take it that Visnujana Swami is a reminder how strict a sannyasi should be , no one should fault him, he has shown real vaisnava character..and Srila PRabhupada confirmed that is he preaching in the…

So often Srila Prabhupada explained all living being are to be protected, they are prajna..also inhabitants of the state.I was walking on my japa walk and this squirrel l just runs into the street and sits under the car tire, as it was red light ,he was about to get killed. I ran into the street and then he ran back into the tree so I thought by Krsnas grace he is safe, again he ran into the…

 

— Utpanna Ekadasi (Margasirsa-krsna Ekadasi), from the Bhavisya-uttara Purana.



Suta Goswami said, "O learned brahmanas, long ago Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, explained the auspicious glories of Sri Ekadasi and the rules and regulations governing each observance of fasting on that holy day. O best of the brahmins, whosoever hears about the origins and glories of these sacred fasts on the Ekadasi days goes directly to the abode of Lord Vishnu after…
