Parikrama
Outline
'Remember these things. You must grasp them and keep them in your hearts. You
must not listen to Hari-katha with your mind – you must listen to it with
your hearts. It must get through your ears to your hearts, and when
you later speak about these things, they should come out of your hearts to
your mouths, then it will be sravan and kirtan.'
—{ Sri Gurupadpadma's Worldwide Address }—
Peculiarity
of Lord's Pastimes
"I have read Ramayan, but I am telling you the gist point... There are
many incarnations—Narayan, Ramachandra, Vamanadev, Balaram, and others, but
Krishna is the full Supreme Personality of Godhead. However, Gaura-lila is
even higher..."

• SUBJECTIVE EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
•
PREFACE
'Evolution is generally thought of as something objective. But objective
evolution is a misperception of reality. Evolution is actually based on
consciousness, which is subjective. Subjective evolution, however, seems to
be objective evolution to the ignorant. In ignorance we think of ourselves as
subjects, although in reality the Lord is the subject and we are His objects.
We think of ourselves as proprietors although we are His property.'

Students' Chastity
'If you want to get Nityananda Prabhu's mercy, you have to put up with some
austerity. The Lord is testing your tolerance. This king of material world is
a place of examination for devotees. We all must pass this examination.'
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, so 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
to tolerate the disappearance of their Guru..."

THE SERVICE OF SRI RADHA [Last chapter]
'Radha-dasyam has been said to be the highest attainment. Why? The
quality and quantity of rasa that Radharani can draw from Krishna can
never be found anywhere else. So if you are situated just behind Radharani,
you’ll be allowed to taste not only the quantity, but the highest quality of
rasa.'

Today in the calendar:
Gaura Dvadasi. Fast for Papankusa Ekadasi. 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. We must always remember disappearance and
appearance days of all Vaishnavs. If we can remember such personalities, such
great souls, it will bring a great benefit to our spiritual life."
"We should always check the calendar, and when we see some dates mentioned
there, even if we do not know anything about the Vaishnav or events mentioned
there, we can at least give 'jay' to them—that also brings some good sukriti,
some purification to us. Seeing the calendar and taking devotees' names early
in the morning, from the beginning of the day, is very good for all
devotees."
"Wake up, look into the calendar and give 'jay' to your Guru and
Vaishnavs. Always pay obeisance to your Guru and Vaishnavs when you wake up
in the morning, always give them 'jay'. Always keep faith and show
respect to them. Always see the calendar—whose appearance day it is, whose
disappearance day it is. Even if you cannot make a festival, at least you can
give them 'jay', it will bring you benefit. When you give 'jay'
to your Guru and Vaishnavs, it brings you sukriti. For example, today
is the disappearance day of a Vaishnav—give 'jay' to him, remember
him. We must always remember the words of Vaishnavs. If I remember the words
of Vaishnavs, I get some benefit, some deposit through that."
In honour of Srila Raghunath Das
Goswami:
Raghunath Das
Goswami's Path
"We have no qualification to serve the Vaishnavs. If we do not got mercy from
Vaishnavs, we cannot get service from the Vaishnavs. That is why we always
make Vaishnavs' disappearance festivals and remember such days."

"I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Six Goswamis, namely Sri
Rupa Goswami, Sri Sanatan Goswami, Sri Raghunath Bhatta Goswami, Sri
Raghunath Das Goswami, Sri Jiva Goswami, and Sri Gopala Bhatta Goswami, who
are always engaged in chanting the Holy Name of Krishna and dancing. They are
just like the ocean of love of God, and they are popular both with the gentle
and with the ruffians, because they are not envious of anyone. Whatever they
do, they are all-pleasing to everyone, and they are fully blessed by Lord
Chaitanya. Thus they are engaged in missionary activities meant to deliver
all the conditioned souls in the material universe."

KNOWLEDGE-FREE DEVOTION
'To become Krishna conscious, one need not be a wise man, nor a very
energetic man, he may not be a master of opulence and power—the only
requirement that is demanded from him is that he must have an earnest hunger
for the Lord. He must find some sweetness, some taste in His words and His
affairs when he hears from a proper source—a genuine saint. That taste will
take him gradually further and further into the highest domain.'

In honour of Srila Madhva
Acharya:
"Madhva Acharya also stayed here with his disciples for some time as a
resident of the Nabadwip Dham. Gauranga-sundar mercifully revealed His most
enchanting form to Madhva Acharya in a dream. Smiling, Gaurachandra said to
Madhva Acharya, 'Everyone knows that you are My eternal servant. When I
appear in Nabadwip, I will follow your lineage. Now, carefully eradicate
illusionism and false scriptures from all regions, and establish the glory of
the Lord's Deity form. Later, I will develop your pure conception.' Saying
this, Gaurachandra disappeared. Madhva Acharya awoke and then fainted. Madhva
Acharya then cried, wondering, 'Will I ever see that beautiful golden form
again?' Then a divine voice came from the clear sky, 'Serve Me secretly, and
you will come to Me.' Madhva Acharya became resolute and defeated the
mayavadis in all directions."
