  • Lord Chaitanya continues with his explanation of the Atmarama verse.
  • Discussion of the three energies of the Lord — the spiritual, marginal and material potencies.
  • One cannot understand the Srimad Bhagavatam unless he engages in devotional service.
  • Sripad Puri Maharaja explains that the pastimes of Lord Krsna must not be understood in a mundane way. The image of Damodara, bound by the rope of maternal affection, is the highest kind of perfection.
  • Maharaja further explains that the gopis serve the manjaris, rather than serving Krsna directly, because the manjaris are the most qualified to interact with Krsna. In a similar vein, devotees strive to become “servants of the servant.”

Here is the recording of 11 February 2012 satsanga.

  • The younger brothers of Maharaja Yudhisthira also pursue the ultimate goal of life, giving up all desire for dharma, artha, kama and moksha.
  • Anyone who executes devotional service without deviation can attain the perfection of Brahman.
  • Draupadi and Subhadra achieve the same results as their husbands by concentrating on the lotus feet of the Lord.
  • Characterizing the reign of Maharaja Pariksit.
  • The Holy Name, coupled with an understanding that God is a person, will lead to a proper conception of the form of God.
  • With misconceptions abounding everywhere, it is necessary to train preachers who can distribute the Truth.
  • Sripad Puri Maharaja recalled a commentary by Srila Sridhar Maharaja where he declared that intelligence (buddhi yoga) is superior to devotional service (bhakti yoga) — Bhagavidad-gita 10.10. Higher intelligence is required to redirect the thinking of the materialistic scientists and other mundane intellectual leaders.
