Our Real Duty
(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)
On the auspicious occasion of Sri Jagannath Rath Yatra at Dwarakapuri Dham on 26th January 2009, our beloved Guru Maharaja gave a nectarean class in Hindi. This posting is a humble attempt of transcribing the lecture as an offering unto our Guru Maharaj.
We should not waste our time. There is a good verse in this connection:
kaalakshepo na kartavyah / ksheenam aayuh kshane kshane
yamasya karunaa naasti / ka
Krsna is vibhu, unlimited. We are limited. So we, we cannot be equal to Krsna. The Mayavada philosophy that there is no difference between jiva and Bhagavan... There is sufficient difference. He is vibhu; we are anu. Anor aniyan mahato mahiyan. He's the greatest of the great, and He's the smallest also. So Krsna cannot be equal..., or nobody can be equal to Krsna, or greater than Krsna. Krsna is asamordhva. Nobody can be equal or greater than Krsna. Everyone is below Krsna.

Its seven days since the departure of one of the most beloved disciples of Srila Prabhupada, Her Grace Srimati Yamuna devi dasi on December 20 2011 in Melbourne Florida, Saphala Ekadasi. I have been musing on what to write, thinking that I could never say enough to properly glorify and appreciate such a great soul. There aren’t enough superlatives to adequately convey the respect and deep loving regard that Yamuna devi commanded by her purity, humility, deep devotion, personalism and precise ab
A devotee should be fixed in the conclusion that, the spiritual master cannot be subject to criticism and should never be considered equal to a common man.

Protecting Ourselves from The Effects of Maya
(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)
The following is an excerpt from the lecture given by our Guru Maharaja H.H. Mahavishnu Goswami on 14.12.2006 on Srimad Bhagavatam 11.7.4 at Sri Sri Radha-NeelMadhav Dham, Rajkot.

Meaning of Initiation

Maharaja continued, "First of all Srimad Bhagavatam 1.17.38 should be clear in our mind.

"According to one's taste and strength, hearing, chanting and remembrance may be followed by pada-sevanam. One obtains the perfection of remembering when one constantly thinks of the lotus feet of the Lord. Being intensely attached to thinking of the Lord's lotus feet is called päda-sevanam. When one is particularly adherent to the process of pada-sevanam, this process gradually includes other processes, such as seeing the form of the Lord, touching the form of the Lord, circumambulating the fo
Gaura-gopala mantra-mantra composed of the four syllables ra-dha-krs-na.
Gaura Mantra the four syllable mantra is ”gau-ra-an-ga”
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura explains the Gaura-gopala mantra in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. Worshipers of Sri Gaurasundara accept the four syllables gau-ra-an-ga as the Gaura mantra, but pure worshipers of Radha and Krsna accept the four syllables ra-dha krs-na as the Gaura-gopala mantra. However, Vaisnavas consider Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu nondifferent from Radha-Krsna
Peace, Opulence and Bliss
(Compiled from notes on lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)
Many of us have heard the wonderful explanations and realizations given by our beloved Guru Maharaja on the song ‘Jaya Raadha Maadhava’. I was fortunate to hear one of them and I have tried my best to transcribe the same for all our pleasure. I can never convey the mood of Maharaja through my writing which is full of inebrities and I very much apologise for the same.
The kirtans
Perfect society is Krsna consciousness. If you accept Krsna as the center... Just like in a family if you accept the head of the family, your father, as the guiding principle, the family's happy. And if you disrupt with the opinion of the father, somebody goes away, somebody's not happy, the family is disturbed. Similarly, if you agree with the instruction of Krsna and God, the whole human society will be peace and prosperity. If you don't agree, disagree, don't agree, disagree, then it is disru
His Grace Jananivas Prabhu, the pujari of Sri Mayapur | the Spiritual Capital of the World Sri Sri Radha Madhava Temple, shares His intimate relation with the Deities.
His very deep understanding of the Deity worship and his touching devotion is truly inspiring.
The standard of deity worship is devotion. The standard is when people come to see the Deities they faint!
The Deities are the source of life for the devotees. Can you imagine coming to the temple for mangala-arati and there’s no deities?
To a vaisnava, material comfort is something he detests. And his constant anxiety is how to become Krsna Conscious, how to remember the lord always, how to utilize everything for the lord, and how to help the lord fulfil his mission.(Srimad Bhagavatam 4.18.7),

On 28 December 2011, the court in the Siberian city of Tomsk dismissed the state prosecutor's stand that the "Bhagavad Gita As It Is" be branded as an "extremist" literature. The case had been going on in the Tomsk city court since June 2011. The Government of India and the Russian Embassy in India took up the matter with the Russian Government.
It shall be recalled that the court case in Tomsk sparked international outrage as the Prosecutor's Office filed the case in
A Russian court has dismissed a call to ban an edition of the Hindu holy book Bhagvad Gita, in a case that triggered protests in India.
Prosecutors in the Siberian city of Tomsk wanted the edition to be ruled “extremist”. That would put it in the same category as Hitler’s Mein Kampf.
The Russian foreign ministry said it was the commentary on the text, not the text itself, that was under scrutiny.
The edition - Bhagvad Gita As It Is - is used by the Hare Krishna movement.
