Updated late April 2007 with web-pages of recent selected items.
Audio: 'Krishna Uninterrupted.' Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj speaking on 30th April by telephone from Nabadwip for Madhusudan Prabhu's Internet Radio website, krsna.cc. (12+ minutes, 2.2 MB mp3 audio).
Audio: Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda
Dev-Goswami Maharaj's
four important darshans recorded
recently in Nabadwip:
Audio: "Mahaprabhu is mercifully taking our service. By the grace of Srila Guru Maharaj we are trying to do as possible by us. Again and again our devotees are trying to preach. A very good procedure to practise Krishna consciousness: you chant, and give consciousness to others for chanting. No haziness. Both sides are very clear. 'I am eating, you also try to eat' -- like that. It is not necessary to change their formal position, only change some mental position and give your submission to the lotus feet of Lord Krishna."
Srila Govinda Maharaj's informal morning darshan, 29 April 2007.
(31+ minutes, 3.6 MB mp3 audio also in higher quality: 7.2 MB.)
Audio: "Every day here very nice sankirttan is happening. When we joined with Srila Guru Maharaj's lotus feet, at that time first he gave some instruction. I remember he gave a tick-mark to thirty two songs, and he told, 'You can memorise it, and every day one by one, or as required, you can sing.'"
Srila Govinda Maharaj's informal morning darshan, 28 April 2007.
(33+ minutes, 3.9 MB mp3 audio also in higher quality: 7.8 MB.)
Audio: "Everyone is influenced by cupid. That is the fact. But, in which way will we avoid it? ... Everyone has the seed of Krishna-swarup, then in which way will you avoid it? That is the fact. And Kaviraj Goswami is so merciful to us, he gave that practising process...."
Srila Govinda Maharaj's informal morning darshan, 27 April 2007.
(36+ minutes, 4.2 MB mp3 audio also in higher quality: 8.4 MB.)
Audio: "Sattva-gun, raja-gun, tama-gun, all are ropes binding us with this material consciousness, existence, etc. If we will think we are practitioners, that we are tying to practise, then we will be conscious about that. But it is not so easy. This qualification you will not get in a school college, it is only coming through pure devotees' association."
Srila Govinda Maharaj's informal morning darshan, 11 April 2007.
