From a talk on January 12th 1983 in Śrī Caitanya Sāraswata Maṭha. Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja talks about Viṣṇupriya’s Deity of Mahāprabhu and how the worship had to go underground due to protests from the local brāhmaṇa community that they were worshipping an ordinary man as God. Totarāma Dāsa Bābājī had a debate with local Śakta paṇḍitas establishing Mahāprabhu as God Himself. He proved this by quotations from the scriptures and also that the yuga-dharma is nama-saṅkīrtana.

From a talk given on January 2nd, 1983 at Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math, Navadvipa. Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja is asked the question "How do we develop sincere humility?" He explains the difference between real Vaiṣṇava humility and false humility without purpose. He warns that hypocrisy should not be indulged in the name of humility. We must understand this fundamental aspect of vaiṣṇava behavior if we are to progress in our spiritual life.

This is a lecture by Swami B.G. Narasingha in Govindaji Gardens on Radhastami - September 9th 2016.

Narasingha Maharaja speaks on the disappearance day of Srila Sridhara Maharaja in Vrndavana. Narasingha Maharaja speaks on the glories of Srila Sridhara Maharaja and how the depth of his contribution has effected the greater Vaishnava world.

Our substantial connection is with sraddha (faith). Knowledge on it’s own lands us in the realm of doubt, suspicion and fear - where one can be suspended in inaction from fear of being cheated. We are seeking the ultimate shelter of Sraddha-devi in whose company knowledge has no place. Illiteracy and lack of knowledge are no obstacles for one who has a real taste and real contact with sraddha.
