Srila Gurudev started His Divine Harikatha by saying, "Invoke the blessings in the beginning of the narration by remembering Guru-Vaishnav-Bhagavan. By remembering Them, all material hindrances will be destroyed and very easily all the (true eternal) desires will be fulfilled."

Later He spoke on the topic of the day - 'The highest object of worship, Nandanandan Sri Krishna', in which He spoke about the wonderful mischievous pastimes of Sri Krishna stealing butter, thereby Mother Yasoda's punishment by binding Him to a mortar and finally Sri Krishna delivering the two sons of Kuvera from the curse of Sri Narad Goswami due to their misconduct towards him.

Srila Gurudev on the occasion of the Holy Pakshavardhini Mahadvadasi explained that the main duty on the day of Ekadasi is to engage in Harikirtan.

Mahaprabhu used to perform sankirtan in the courtyard of Srivas whole night and during one such occasion, Srivas's only son died. Later when Mahaprabhu went inside and sat beside the child's dead body and brought him back to life to ask, "Child! Why do you want to leave the house of such a devotee as Srivasa?" The dead child answered, "The few days that I was to spend in Srivasa's house are over, now I am following your wish in going elsewhere. I am a living being who has no independence; I cannot go against your wishes. Please be merciful to me, that I never forget your lotus feet, no matter where I go."

Later Srila Gurudev explained the pastimes at Kumarhatta.

Dandavat Pranams to revered Vaishnavas.

By the grace of Sree Sree Guru Gauranga Radha Nayan-Mohan jiu, we reached Sri Gaudiya Math, Tezpur on Feb 5, 2011 at around 11.30 AM. The beautiful Math in Tezpur is established in 1947 by Our Most Revered Paramgurudev, upon the desire of Srila Prabhupad.

Srila Gurudev is in good health. He had given darsan to devotees after His arrival at 11.30 AM, during Tulsi Paraikrama at 2.30 PM and during arati and Mandir Parikrama at 6.30 PM in the evening on 5th. All devotees were extremely jubilant by His presence.

On 8th of February Srila Gurudev will speak divine Harikatha. Srila Gurudev's audio in Bengali (left channel) and live English translation (right channel) will be webcast from www.sreecgmath.org at 7.30 PM.

Sri Guru Vaishnava dasanudas,

Dear devotees,
Dandavat Pranams.

At first we sincerely apologize for not webcasting Srila Gurudev's Harikatha yesterday. We were incapacitated as there was a problem in our internet connectivity. The audio file is now uploaded in our website. Quick link – http://www.sreecgmath.org/scgmtimes/scgmaudio.php?category=fullkatha&aid=101&mediaid=295

"Earlier I used to speak Harikatha many times in a day and used to travel everywhere but due to my present physical condition I am speaking occasionally and travelling also carefully" with these opening words Srila Gurudev started Harikatha on the auspicious occasion of Sri Vasant Panchami on February 8, 2011 in Sri Gaudiya Math, Tezpur.

Srila Gurudev said how this Kaliyuga is special because of the advent of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu but at he same time due to the loss of the actual teachings, Mahaprabhu sent His own associates – Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur and Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Prabhupad. Srila Prabhupad had performed Harinam Sankirtan for 14 continuous years. Later He started preaching from Ultadanga Road, Kolkata. When there was a month-long religious congregation organized, Srila Prabhupad spoke on the verse – labdhva sudurlabham idam bahu sambhavante. Two students from Scottish Church College got attracted by Him and never went back to home again.

Srila Gurudev later said that Srila Prabhupad had seen that the people in Assam are by nature devotees of Krishna and have got service aptitude. He instructed our most revered Gurudev to preach in Assam and later our Gurudev had established 4 maths in Assam. He narrated how Sri Kamalakanta Gosai, who later became Srila Ashram Maharaj, met Srila Prabhupad, got attracted and left his house to join the movement of Srila Prabhupad.

Srila Gurudev then emphasized that material possessions and designations are useless as everything is temporary. As an instance He narrated the devotion of Sri Ambarish Maharaj, who considered the wealth of entire earth to be equivalent to a morsel of mud.

Finally Srila Gurudev concluded the Harikatha saying that Sri Krishna's Name, Form, Pastimes, Abode, Associates etc. cannot be comprehended by the material sense organs. They are manifest only to a sincere devotee who has aptitude for service to Lord and His devotees.

Revered Vaishnavas,
Dandavat Pranams.

Srila Gurudev had initiated more than 100 devotees to Harinam in Guwahati after 3 years. The intensity with which Srila Gurudev initiated devotees was very heart touching and a life time experience (for me). Srila Gurudev had incessant tears, and trembled and choked voice while chanting the Holy Name. There were very few in the assembly without tears. He made everyone chant Panchatattva and Mahamantra each twelve times in a loud voice (uchcha svar).

Srila Gurudev will take part in the 3-day Annual Function of Sree Chaitanya Gaudiya Math, Guwahati starting from tomorrow. He will speak Harikatha on the opening day i.e., February 15, 2011 (Tuesday). Webcast of the Harikatha in Bengali on left channel and live English translation on the right channel will be available from 7.45 PM IST at www.sreecgmath.org.

Since the bandwidth is low in Guwahati, frequent breaks are expected. We will try to give our best. Please join us tomorrow to listen to Our Most Revered Gurudev speak on "Sri Nityananda Tattva". Contact No.: 07896660244.

Dandavat Pranams to revered vaishnavas,

Following is the summary of Harikatha by Srila Gurudev on Feb 15, 2011, topic - SRI NITYANANDA TATTVA.

'nitai-pada-kamala, koti-chandra-susitala' - Lord Nityananda's Lotus Feet have soothing of millions of moons together. 'nitaiyer koruna habe, braje radha-krishna pabe' - When Lord Nityananda showers His mercy one gets the Divine Couple of Braj-dham.

Mahaprabhu collected the tears of Divine Love shed by Sri Nityananda Prabhu and kept it under the safekeeping of river Padmatavati, who would later give that to Sri Narottam Thakur. When Narottam was twelve years old, he had a dream in which Nityananda Prabhu told him to bathe in the Padmavati and take the prema which had been stored there for him. After taking prema, Narottama abandoned all his relations and bodily pleasures and left for Vrindavan.

Lord Nityananda also delivered the miscreants like Jagai and Madhai in spite of being hit by them with pieces of earthen pot. When Nityananda Prabhu showered His mercy, Lord Chaitanya gave them prema and later declared the two brothers as 'mahabhagavatas'. He also said that those who disrespect the two brothers would become victims of vaishnava-aparadh.
