 | Observing the festival days outlined in the Vaisnava calendar is an important aspect of devotional practice. Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja always speaks on the appropriate topic on such days, whether it be the appearance or disappearance day of a prominent Vaisnava acarya , the appearance day of an incarnation of Bhagavan, or any other significant day. Of the eleven lectures included within this book, nine are lectures which Srila Maharaja has spoken on significant dates from the Vaisnava calendar. The word prabhanda means an essay and avali means a collection. We are confident that devotees will find this Sri Prabandhavali helpful to their sincere efforts to honour these important days. | |

 | The purpose of this booklet is to introduce the reader to the beauty and wonder of his or her own natural being. Sages say that our souls are each more brilliant and powerful than thousands of suns, and that we come to experience this by hearing from those who are self-realized. Secrets of the Undiscovered Self was kindly presented in the form of a discourse by such a selfrealized personality, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, a pre-eminent saint and one of the foremost teachers of divine wisdom in the present day. This discourse was given in March 2002, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | |

Sri Navadvipa Dhama

Hits: 2861 |

Date added: 09/25/2007 |
 | In this book our eternally merciful Gurudeva, Sri Sriman Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja, describes the numerous sacred places of Sri Navadvipa-dhama and introduces many of the holy places in the surrounding area of Sri Gauda-mandala (which includes Bangladesh). The enclosed map of Sri Gauda-mandala offers another dimension of involvement to the reader of this and other books about Sriman Mahaprabhu and His followers. The locations of many places were verifiable, but over time, some places have been forgotten or obscured by changes in landscape, and therefore are not easily located or available for darsana. Sripad Bodhayan Maharaja kindly connected us with Sriman Mukunda Prabhu (Mr. Mukulpada Mitra) from Dhaka, who ensured a successful pilgrimage to Bangladesh to take photos. Both ISKCON temples and Gaudiya-mathas showed their non-sectarian spirit by giving assistance in this regard. We are ever indebted to Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svami Prabhupada, who revealed to the Western world the glories, pastimes and abodes of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and His associates. | |

Consequently, the innermost intentions of the Gita are revealed to the modern audience. Some of the brilliant Rasika-ranjana commentaries by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, have been included within this Prakasika-vrtti. Over 1,121 pages including comprehensive glossary and sloka index. | |

Sri Slokamritam

Date added: 09/25/2007 |

The purpose of this Sloka book is to help the devotees study, remember and meditate on çlokas. Slokas are pathways to the spiritual world. Memorizing and meditating on slokas is an integral part of our sadhana-bhajana. Hearing and reciting them create spiritual impressions which help one to make progress in bhakti. The slokas of the Bhagavatam are not merely words on paper; they are all transcendental personalities, and each and every çloka has its own svarüpa (personal form and nature). Slokas are conscious and, like the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, nourish our bhakti and are ‘food for the soul’. Therefore, one should not try to master the slokas as if they were a mundane object of knowledge. Rather, one should approach them with humility and affection, coupled with a mood of service, just as one would approach Sri Guru. When we develop a little affection for someone, we naturally become interestd in them and they become interested in us. It is a matter of relationship (sambandha). Similarly, As we pray to the slokas and meditate on them, we develop a relationship with them. As this relationship becomes deeper, the slokas gradually unfold and reveal ever-new realisations. They become familiar like dear friends, walk into our hearts and enrich our spirtiual life with a higher taste. ( Please note the chapters are not in order in enclosed PDF file, however, you can search for page numbers. A new file will be available in December 2010 ).
