These Alms

Vaishnavs mercifully give us an opportunity to hear and speak about the Lord.
I am asking you to give your mind, body, heart, everything at the holy feet
of the Lord as alms for one-two hours. One day you will understand the
benefit..."

A Separation Day
[An extensive discourse of Srila B.S. Govinda Dev-Goswami
Maharaj, spoken on this day]
"Nobody can properly glorify the Vaishnav-mahima, then what can I say to you?
I am always waiting for mercy—for causeless mercy. I have no qualification,
causeless mercy is the only hope for me, and for others also. I am trying to
express my heart today at the lotus feet of Vaishnavs. I pray they bestow
their mercy, and that mercy cannot but be causeless. We are all unqualified,
we cannot properly respect Vaishnavas, but by their mercy we can get that
qualification, I have no doubt about it. Today is the disappearance day of
Srila Krishna Das Kaviraj Goswami, Srila Raghunath Das Goswami and Srila
Raghunath Bhatta Goswami. It is very hard for a disciple for tolerate the
disappearance of their Guru..."
Today in the calendar: Gaura Dvadashi. Ekadasi paran between 5:38 and 9:28 a.m. Disappearance of Srila Raghunath Das Goswami, Srila Raghunath Bhatta Goswami, and Srila Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami.
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj: "Even if you do not know anything about the Vaishnav mentioned in the calendar, you must still give them 'jay' on this day."
"Appearance and disappearance look different, but there is no difference between the appearance and disappearance of a Vaishnav. In this external world, we have birth and death, but Vaishnavs are neither born, nor do they die."

Full Service Sway
"Balaram (Nitai) arranges to appear as the elder brother to be able to serve
the Lord. This is the glory of Sri Nityananda Prabhu. Nityananda Prabhu is
hidden and extremely esoteric. We actually have no quality or qualification
to speak about His glory."

"Sri Ekadasi"
(Sri Sri Prema Vivarta)
"One day, Gaurahari left the Gundicha Temple and sat in the Jagannath
Vallabha garden. It was pure Ekadasi, and the Lord spent the whole day and
night chanting the Name of Krishna..."
•
SONG:
Suddha-bhakata |
শুদ্ধ ভকত-চরণ-রেণু
"I carefully observe the holy days related to Madhava, they are the mother
of devotion."
•
SONG:
Sri hari-vasare |
শ্রীহরি-বাসরে হরি
"On the holy day of Sri Hari, Sriman Mahaprabhu, the life and
soul of the universe, began dancing..."
ADDITIONAL READING:
Parental Sacrifice
"Nityananda Prabhu's parents could not let the sannyasi go
empty-handed, so they agreed to give him whatever he would ask for. However,
the sannyasi asked for their only son, Nityananda Prabhu. They made
such a great sacrifice in their life!"

Sri Ekachakra Temple
"It was Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur's desire to establish a temple
in Sri Ekachakra Dham, but he did not live a long life—he only stayed in this
world for sixty-four years—and he did not live to fulfil his desire. Yet, by
his mercy, by the mercy of Param Gurudev and by Gurudev's desire, we managed
to acquire this land here in 2008."

About
Nityananda Prabhu
"Srila Krishna Das Kaviraj Goswami says that Nityananda Prabhu's glory is
unlimited; if you get a slightest touch of His mercy, you will understand His
glory. Nityananda Prabhu freely scattered His mercy to all fallen souls. The
Lord came to this world to deliver all fallen souls."

beautiful."

Forging Your
Destiny
"Not everybody comes to practise Krishna consciousness. Some come to goggle,
some come for entertainment. There are different kinds of desires. Everybody
does not have the same desires. That is why, we cannot bring everyone to this
path. Those who have such fortune, who are destined to come, they come."

Sri Ekachakra
Dham: Our Fortune To Be Here
"We have come here by a great fortune. If you only think about the dust of
this holy dham, then you will think that you must circumambulate this holy
abode walking on your head. The Lord Himself wandered in this land.
Nityananda Prabhu is non-different from Mahaprabhu, the Lord Himself."
