Glories of Advaita Acharya

In the initial part of Harikatha, Srila Gurudev remembers Srila Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati Prabhupad’s delivering lecture in Bengali language at Madras Gaudiya Math and emphasizes on the important teaching that devotion can be transmitted only by devotion not by any other means. In the later part, He sings the glories of Advaita Acharya describing his ontological identity and remembering his various pastimes with Mahaprabhu.

Śrī Advaita Ācārya

Śrī Advaita Ācārya constantly offered water from the Ganges and tulasī mañjarīs while meditating on Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet, at the same time calling to Kṛṣṇa with loud roars. In this way He brought about Kṛṣṇa’s descent. This plea by Advaita Ācārya is the chief reason for Kṛṣṇa Caitanya to advent on earth. The Lord, the protector of religion, descends at the wish of His devotee.
