Hindi Hari-katha. While describing the nature of mundane love, Prabhuji described the history of the king, Bhatri Hari. The King gave a valuable necklace to his wife, who in turn gave it to her lover, who was the commander-in-chief of the King's army. The commander then gave the necklace to the prostitute, who in turn returned the necklace to the king. Therefore, realizing the folly of mundane love, the King renounced his kingdom and entered the forest. Prabhuji then described how Mahaprabhu and all His associates would do kirtana in the courtyard of Sri Srivasa Thakura's house for the duration of the entire night. We were then told on how Mahaprabhu chastised Srivasa Thakura for not properly glorifying Advaita Acarya. A brief account on the life of Srila Haridasa Thakura was also told.

The English translation of Prabhuji's Hindi class. Siva Thakura described how Sukadeva Gosvami, and himself know the Srimad Bhagavatam. But Siva Thakura doubted if Vyasadeva knew the imports of the Bhagavatam or not. Still, this doesn't imply that Vyasadeva doesn't know what the Bhagavatam is. Sri Krsna Dvaipayana Vyasa is the Vyasa of Krsna-lila. And, Srila Vrndavana das Thakura, Sri Krsnadas Kaviraja Gosvami, Srila Kavi Karnapura Gosvami, Srila Rupa Gosvami, our Gosvamis, and our Guru-varga are all Vyasas of Gaura-lila. Vyasadeva is worshiped even on the appearance day of Sri Guru. Before Siva Thakura's dialog with Parvati Devi concluded, Siva Thakura told his wife, "By worshiping Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu at the three junctures of the day (early morning, afternoon, and evening)--indeed, by worshiping Him at all times, you will very soon receive Krsna-prema." Srimati Radhika will not bestow Her mercy independently. Neither will Krsna bestow His mercy causelessly. But, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu (the combined form of Sri Radha and Krsna) bestows His mercy unconditionally and causelessly. Thus, His magnanimity is unparalleled.

Prabhuji also spoke on the history of how Sri Kesavaji Gaudiya Matha manifested in Mathura. When Srila Parama Gurudeva secured the Matha in Mathura, his Godbrothers said, "Why didn't you try for a temple in Vrndavana instead?"

Srila Parama Gurudeva replied, "Here in Mathura, Krsna is suffering from intense pangs of separation from Srimati Radhika, the Vrajadevis, and all the Vrajavasis. Unlike Vraja, there is no one to comfort Krsna here. So, if anyone can soothe Krsna's separation by chanting Srimati Radhika's names and by reminding Krsna of the glories of His beloveds, then this will be the best form of service to Sri Radha Vinodabiharijiu. Hence, we desire to have Krsna's separation from the Vrajavasis manifest in our hearts. We don't wish to have the Vrajavasis' separation from Krsna manifest in our hearts."

We heard the glories of the 12 Mahajanas (greatest of spiritual preceptors) from today's narration of the Kesava-vrata book. The twelve mahajanas help a sadhaka rise from the quagmire of material existence and they make him qualified in all respects. They then help him ascend the path to go back home, back to Godhead. The twelve Mahajanas are Bali Maharaja, Bhismadeva, Brahma, Janaka Maharaja, Kapiladeva, Narada Muni, Sanat-kumara, Prahlada Maharaja, Siva Thakura, Svayambhuva Manu, Sukadeva Gosvami, and Yamaraja. After the narration from the Kesava-vrata book, Prabhuji started speaking from the 37th verse of the 17th chapter from the eleventh canto of Srimad Bhagavatam.

The history of Sri Advaita Acarya meeting his spiritual master, Sri Madhavendra Puripada was narrated from the soon to be published Kesava-vrata book. When Madhavendra Puri visited Santipura, Kuvera Pandita (Advaita Acarya's father) invited the great saint to his house. Kamalaksa (Advaita Acarya's boyhood name) served Madhavendra Puripada with much love and affection. Being pleased, Sri Madhavendra Puri initiated him and told him to reside in Navadvipa-Mayapura Dhama. There, Advaita Acarya daily worshiped Salagrama Thakura with Tulasi leaves and manjaris especially during the month of Kesava-vrata. Thus, He beckoned Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to appear. Mahaprabhu then answered Advaita Acarya's prayers and appeared to taste the moods of Srimati Radhika, and to fulfill the desire of His devotee.
