Installation Talk for Lord Jagannatha & Gaura-Gadadhara

When Lord Jagannatha is worshipped without Balarama and Subhadra He is Patita-pavana, the deliverer of the fallen. He was the principal Deity of Bhaktivinoda Thakura's ancestors for four hundred years. The worship of Lord Jagannatha along with Gaura-Gadadhara represents a very special conception.

Srila Sridhara Maharaja Tirobhava

Glorifying the Vaisnavas brings one the greatest benefit. All suffering in the world is due to not knowing who you are (servant of God). We praise the great devotees but this does not mean we can treat the ordinary devotees roughly. Without association of devotees our creeper will not grow properly. The last section of the lecture is about the wealth of Srila Sridhara Maharaja.

Nityananda Trayodasi

The necessity of Advaitacarya, who gave us Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Proof of the existence of God thru faith and experience. The uniqueness of madhurya-rasa. The erroneous teachings of the sahajiyas. Do not approach Krishna-lila for our enjoyment. Srila Prabhupada was empowered by Nityananda Prabhu.

Questions & Answers

Why is the advent of Mahaprabhu not mentioned directly in the sastras? Why did Srila Prabhupada write Krsna Book when it is not advised for neophytes to read the 10th Canto of Bhagavatam? What is the difference between jnana-misra bhakti and jnana-purvaka-bhakti? Srila Narasingha Maharaja answers these questions and many more in this class.

Srila Prabhupada Avirbhava

Who is a real guru? Guru means that he says Krsna is Bhagavan, not that he claims to be Bhagavan. Real guru teaches how to serve Krsna. To meet guru is a very rare thing. By service our eyes are opened to see guru.

The Prominent Link

Everything must be received by the descending process. The good will that comes with that is all important for success. Sentiment cannot omit the established process; it cannot obstruct the descent of divinity. Many questions cannot be answered from the books. In fact there is no Krsna consciousness with only the books. The kanistha adhikari only sees Krsna in the Deity and the guru. The madhyama adhikari sees Krsna in the Vaisnavas.

Gaura Purnima

The appearance of Lord Chaitanya. The Lord is always sinless even when apparently engaging in sinful activities. He does not come with karma to this world. He appears with His entourage (parshadas). According to the intensity of our love for the Lord we become more free with the Lord to relish more intimate rasas.

Srila Sridhara Maharaja Avirbhava

In this world all are envious of Krsna, so have foregone the serving tendency. But the Vaisnavas do not do the work of this world, they do Krsna's work. Our worst danger is that we misuse our life. If you don't feel a pinch from a donation then Krsna doesn't notice it either.

Srila Puri Maharaja Avirbhava

The real meaning of Rathayatra is the returning of Lord Jagannatha to Vrndavana. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu spent the last 12 years of his life in Puri experiencing intense feelings of separation from Krsna (vipralambha). The great wealth of the maha-bhagavatas are their qualities.

Disappearance of Haridasa Thakura

Haridasa Thakura is the personification of devotion. First become a pure devotee then after some time we may experience what is love of Krsna, gradually as we undergo purification. When we satisfy Krsna with pure devotion then we will understand and experience what is prema.

Cc. Madhya Lila 19.151

Our wandering in maya from body to body is stopped when we find guru. There are different gradations of guru, but Krsna must be within. A pure devotee can never fall down, even from the spiritual world. In Goloka there are many Prabhupadas. To enter there we must be pure, so we can't take our dirty baggage there.
