We only get a temporary moment in our life and very rare to get a human form of life and it is very very rare and it’s like a boat. That boat can ply across the material ocean and that is the ability of having a human body. Don’t worry about gratifying the senses, life isn’t meant for that. It is meant to live in a balanced way to enquire about the truth about knowing Krsna, singing about Krsna and getting to Krsna. When Brahma offered prayers to K, he said no other better way to know K than to study and be in a steady situation so you can go on hearing about Krsna. He only reveals himself to whom he chooses. The supreme Lord can’t be realized without K’s mercy. When He choses himself to reveal to someone, nobody can stop Him from doing it. We just turn our back from K, solution is just turn around, just turn your attention back to K. Just get the association of SINCERE devotees as they already have chosen this then we can align our lives in the right direction and one way to do that is to go to the Holy Dhaam, go to all places where Mahaprabhu went to preach and then you will find SINCERE devotees. In all places we go where Mahaprabhu is present we will notice that BSST has put a shrine with Mahaprabhu’s footsteps there.

This dhaam is eternal dhaam – sometimes it is manifest and sometimes it’s not. When it is unmanifest it’s because of my problem because I’m not qualified to see the pasttimes. We can feel the dhaam. When you come to this dhaam there is no offenses considered, because Mahaprabhu is so merciful. Ex – if you sleep for 7 days, Mahaprabhu is so merciful that He will consider the devotee has just offered his dandavats to me.

Karbhajana Muni in the Shastra (tattva) – deham satva….- Glorifying the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu. So feel free and just glorify his feet, we have full permission. Just worship His feet. Just read CC Madhya 22 chapter – Mahaprabhu gives perfect instructions to what we need to do to follow our life properly. If we follow these instructions then all the embarrassments of the material world go out. Just by accepting Mahaprabhu’s lotus feet we will become free from all material embarrassments. His lotus feet are the combination of all the Holy dhaams put into one. Even if you can’t come, if you just bow down to the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu then you get the benefit of going to all the holy places. He is so merciful. His lotus feet are the boat by which we can cross over the material ocean very very easily.

Chad – chapter 17           

Dasavatra stotra

If you are fired up, the meeting needs you if not you need the meeting.

It was so refreshing to hear how mericiful Mahaprabhu is that even after we leave the dhaam physically, if we just bow down to his feet, we get the benefit of going to all the holy places.
