Sravana Kirtana
This collection features three articles and three audios of harikathas emphasizing the importance of sravan-kirtan—listening and singing the glories of Supreme Lord and His associates. Vedavyas Muni instructs us through Srimad Bhagavatam that we should never pay negligence towards sravan-kirtan. We should listen to the transcendental topics regularly (nityaṁ) with the utmost faith that by serving Krishna we serve all (śraddhayā).

Sravan-kirtan is Our Life
Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj
This harikatha was spoken by Srila Gurudev during Vraja-mandal Parikrama in the month of Kartik. One day, the devotees returned very late from Parikrama and there were only four persons in the sankirtan-hall to listen to the harikatha. Srila Gurudev that time strongly advised on the importance of sravan-kirtan in... Play
Imbibing Higher Thoughts
Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj
Transcendental thoughts of Krishna heard from a shudda bhakta will enter into the heart and will remove all the rubbish ideas. If you speak about worldly things worldly things will enter in your heart. You have to make short, you should not speak unnecessarily, worldly things, 'gramya katha na balibe,... Play
Glories of Supreme Lord to be Heard Regularly with Firm Faith
Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj
Without serving Sri Krishna I cannot serve anybody. I cannot do benefit to anybody. I cannot pay my debts to anybody. To any living being or any demigod. As you pour water to the root of the tree, the whole tree is nourished. You give food in the stomach the... Play
You Must Repeat the Same Thing Again and Again
Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj
We are uttering the sixty-four qualities, and we are still experiencing these miseries. This means that these transcendental qualities are not descending into us. We have not touched them, even though we may think that we have.... Read

The Words of the Scriptures are the Final Proof
Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur
The Vedic statements are perfect and self-evident. There is no need for interpreting an indirect meaning. The meaning is understood by hearing the words with their direct meaning. "The son of Sachi is directly the son of Nanda." On hearing these words, a person can understand that Lord Chaitanya is... Read
How is Hearing or Speaking about Mundane Topics Harmful to one’s Bhakti?
Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupad
Hearing worldly mundane talk causes oneself more harm than eating delicious food, and by speaking about mundane topics, one causes more harm to others than by wearing stylish clothes. Ordinary, or mundane, talks are just like a prostitute in that they cause immense obstacles to one’s hari-bhajana by polluting and... Read

Company of Devotees
Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj
The heart-specialist doctor advised me to remain in one place, at least for 6 months. When I had a discussion with him regarding a preaching tour outside India, he had no objection if done after 3 months i.e. in the coming summer season. But I am supposed to stay only... Read

Genuine Servitor
Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhav Goswami Maharaj
Contact with a genuine servitor will bring us close to the Supreme Lord. Service to the servitor bestows service to his object of service, the Supreme Lord, and subdues Him. Wise persons always carry out the orders of the servitors of the Supreme Lord to get their objective. The servitor of the bhakta will certainly get bhakti and realised status.
