Similarly while the spiritual master is present, it is an opportunity to try to learn as much about devotional service, so that you can take advantage because when the spiritual master is not physically present, you have to serve in separation.
So the ideal thing is to learn as much as w

In the Skanda Purana, it mentions that if you chant the two syllables Ha… Ri… Ha… Ri… Ha… Ri… Hari… Hari… Hari… Hari…, then the Lord will steal away from you!... We all still look worried?… You know what he’ll steel from you??? You want to know?

"No one in particular seemed to decide what would
happen next but it just went on, like
waves, one after another. One devotee did
something like a Russian dance down on the
floor, shooting his legs out."
Last night about 400 devotees were at the
temple to greet Lord Jagannath, Who
returned from the 6 hour Rathayatra at
10pm. The kirtan was so jubilant, devotees
dancing together in several clusters across the
temple floor. They were spinning,
dancing in circles, moving in
जगत के नाथ जनन्नाथ
जग दर्शन को हैं निकले आज
ये दिन बड़े ही दुर्लभ होते
दौड़ पडो छोड़ सब काज
भक्त वत्सल भगवान
मंदिर से निकल आये हैं
दया,करुणा ,वत्सलता
सब पर ही बरसाए हैं
एक बार जो कर ले दर्शन
कोटि जन्म के पाप कट जाए
खींच लिया जो रस्सा रथ का
जन्म-मृत्यु की रस्सी कट जाए
प्रभु ले नखरे
भक्त की ठिठोली
शरारतें प्रभु की
भक्त की बोली
कभी वो रथ पर ही
नही आते
कभी चलते-चलते
रुक जाते
अगर दर्शन देना चाहते कहीं
तो फिर प्रभु वही रुक जाते
आज भक्त भगवान के पास नही
भगवान भक्त के पास हैं आते
ऐसी ही लीलाएं प्रभु की
सुलभ

Perhaps a million plus gather to witness the tumultuous event. This is one of the ancient festivals in Bharatam and a place of huge crowd attractions like the Kumbha-mela, Makara-sankranti, and Pongal festivals. The rathayatra festivities are organised and financed mainly by the Government of Orissa. As said, during the rathayatra, the three Deities are

Prabhupäda: My dear boys and girls, those who have come here, I welcome you on behalf of Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu.

An old farmer lived on his farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning he got up early, sat at the kitchen table, and read His Bhagavad-gita. His grandson wanted to be just like his grandfather, so tried to emulate him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the Bhagavad-gita just like you do, but I don’t understand most of it, and whatever I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. So what good is it doing me to read the Bhagavad-git

राधारानी का है वो सैंया

In this world there are many things that divert us from our relationship with God – things that focus us on other relationships with other people, our job, society, our dreams, etc. All these relationships are like smoke; one day they will simply float away into the air. At that time we will be left with the only one, eternal relationship.
