Sri Krishna sankirtana diffuses the soothing rays of bhava that cause the white lotus of good fortune for all living entities to bloom. The holy name of Krishna is the life and soul of all transcendental knowledge and increases the ocean of transcendental bliss. The holy name bathes and cools the body, mind and soul and enables one to taste full nectar at every step.

Svantah-sthena gadabhrta. It is fact. It is confirmed in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Try to remain in your position as devotee, and as far as possible teach these rascals who are simply attracted by the glaring material stones and woods, and let them have some knowledge and do benefit to your countrymen, to your society, to your family. >>> Ref.

Lord Krsna intensifies our love for Him by apparently separating Himself from us, and the result is that we achieve what we really wanted and prayed for: intense love for the Absolute Truth, Krsna. Thus Lord Krsna’s apparent negligence is actually His thoughtful reciprocation and the fulfillment of our deepest and purest desire.” Srimad Bhagavatam 10.32.20 ” ‘Please help me. what am I going to do? I can’t go on like this. You can see that!  Look at the state I am in. what ought I to do? Show me the way.’ As if I needed more information or some kind of sign! “…suddenly, as soon as I had made that prayer, I became aware of the wood, the trees, the dark hills, the wet night in my imagination, I started to hear the great bell of Gethsemani ringing in the night…” A Merton Reader, ed. by Thomas P.  McDonnell, (New York: Image Books, 1989) 128 Filed under: Thomas Merton   • Email to a friend • • ISKCON Toronto, Canada: Special Bhagavatam Classes with HH Gopal Krsna Goswami!
