The following is an excerpt from a lecture given by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura at his last manifest Vyasa puja celebration February 6th, 1936. Vyasa puja is the day traditionally set aside to honor the spiritual master.

Bhaktivinoda Thakura was not staying in Godrumadvipa when he had his vision of the Adbhuta Mandira. In fact Bhaktivinoda's house at Godruma was not built until two years later.

This appearance day of Mahaprabhu is a good day to remember that everything comes by His grace. We should sincerely pray for His grace.

From Prakrta-rasa Sata-dusini by Sarasvati Thakura, with commentary by Swami B.G. Narasingha.

The consciousness of a jiva, drowned by the filth of Mayavada, cannot pervert Gaura's name, quality or activities...

If we remain apathetic to the teachings of Sri Caitanya, then we will enthrone Satan as a devotee of Caitanya or even as Caitanya Himself.

If one wants to attain real pleasure by removing displeasure, then the mind is to be destroyed.

Maintaining a mundane mentality and the mentality of being a guru, results in a mentality that leads us to hell.

One will never attain the mercy of Krsna if he tries to gratify and serve his wife, friend, servant etc. instead of Krsna.
