Sri Sri Guru Gauranga  Radha Vrindavan Vihari lal ki jayy!!

This week we got de fortune to receive  association of Sripad Bhakti Svarup Govinda Maharaj disciple of Bhakti Kumud Santa Goswami Maharaj.

Sripad Govinda Maharaj gave a class tiltled "the meaning of Dham Seva" and the analysis was amazing. First he begun to glorify Srila Om Visnupad 108 Srila Bhakti Gourav Vaikanash Maharaj the great scholastic disciple of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupad, because on that the same day was his appearence celebration.

After this he gave a very clear exposition about siddhanta Gaudiya Vaisnava concluding that the real dham seva is to serve the lotus feet Of our spiritual Master because the tracendental nature of dham is only revealed through his eyes or vision.

After that he explained attractively about Dham tattva recognizing sandhini sakti a potency of Sri Balaram and Nityananda Prabhu as a bases of dham, finally he gave beautiful lilas descriptions about the personification of Dham.

"Sanatan Siksa" by Sripad Tamal Krsna prabhu

This week we could get the honorable association of one of the most prominent disciples of B.S. Akinchan maharaj, Sripad Tamal Krsna prabhu who explained us about Sanatan Siksa, the instructions of Mahaprabhu to Sanatan Goswamipad recorded in Caitanya Caritamrta madhya 20.102.

By the nice examples given by Tamal Krsna prabhu we could understand about how the soul is enslaved in the Maya's net and how she can go out, jiva tattva is the topic that Mahaprabhu explained to Srila Sanatan Goswami. Sanatan Goswami first asked: 

ke āmi', 'kene āmāya jāre tāpa-traya

ihā nāhi jāni — 'kemane hita haya'

"Who am I? Why do the threefold miseries always give me trouble? If I do not know this, how can I be benefited?

and Mahaprabhu gave the famous answer:

jīvera 'svarūpa' haya — krsnera 'nitya-dāsa'

kṛsnera 'taṭasthā-śakti' 'bhedābheda-prakāśa'

"It is the living entity's constitutional position to be an eternal servant of Krsna because he is the marginal energy of Krsna and a manifestation simultaneously one with and different from the Lord, like a molecular particle of sunshine or fire. Krsna has three varieties of energy.
