Param Vijayate Sri Krishna Sankirtanam. What is sankirtan? It means the chanting of hari-nam. Name chanting. Hari-nam japa. Taste this. It also means tasting of lila smaran. Together with lila-smaran comes more taste for naam. Together with naam comes more taste for smaran. Taste both of these together. It means loudly (chanting) with many devotees that is also sankirtan. Loudly in kirtan. However it also means not loudly also meaning lila-smaran. Name and Lila. Without lila it is not sankirtan.

Lila-smaran – Ananta Das Babaji
Gradually memorise and practice lila smaran gradually. Slowly, slowly. Which time, what divine lila? The eternal lila. First memorise the lila. Different sequences as presented in the books of our acharyas. Then you can implement this in your nama–japa, puja and seva. First meditate on Gaura-lila then one can move to Vraja-lila. Read the Gutika. One can move from Gaura-lila each time and move to Vraja-lila. Ananta Das Babaji

Maidservant in Dwarka or Vrindavan? – Ananta Das Babaji
In Dwarka you become the maidservant of Rukmini or Satyabhama. In Vrindavan you become the maidservant of Radharani. Our mood is always the Vrindavan mood. Ananta Das Babaji

Govardhan and Govardhan Parikrama – Ananta Das Babaji
Govardhan is the main devotee of Krishna. The mountain, he is a devotee. Govardhan shila is Krishna Vigraha. Parikrama of Govardhan is in our sampradaya. Walking parikrama was done by every day Sanantan Goswāmī until old age. Dandavat parikrama is not anywhere in our sampradaya. It is not following our Six Goswamis. Walking parikrama. Not dandavat.

The Glory of Vrindavan and Radha-Kund – Ananta Das Babaji
Vraja dham is in the present world. However Vraja dham is not in the material world it is a transcendental place. Narayan Vaikuntha then higher is Goloka dham then top and higher is Gokul Vrindavan. This 168 miles – this Vraja dham. By your sense organs you can feel this present Vraja dham. This is prakat prakash. God’s mercy. You can come and stay. The place of Sri Krishna’s pastimes. Sense organs cannot touch the eternal and spiritual Vraja dham. That is transcendental. We cannot see. Aprakat prakash is only seen by attainment of prema. If you have no prema the prakat prakash – anybody can come and stay here in Vraja. Stay for one day and you will attain prema. Nam offences. Dham offences. Stay and you will overcome these offences. Kripa-dham. The mercy of the dham. Mathura Mandal – 168 miles (84 kosas). Vrindavan is better due to the rasa-lila. Better than Vrindavan is Giriraj Govardhan. Best is Radha Kund. Radha Kund is direct Radha. Syam Kund is direct Krishna. After Sri Krishna Lila, Radha Kund disappeared and Syama Kund disappeared. Mahaprabhu rediscovered both. Parikrama, dandavat, flowers and tulasi – anybody can offer this to Radha Kund. After […]

Sphurti – Divine Visions – Ananta Das Babaji
Sphurti – Divine Visions – Ananta Das Babaji Sphurti (divine visions) come, that time when the sadhaka has rati. Sadhana rati means bhav, that time comes prema also. Dhyan – Meditation, then Sphurti.

Anybody who drinks nectar his whole body will become nectar, one who drinks Krishna Bhakti nectar – his body will become transcendental. Spiritual body. When rati or bhav comes this will begin.

Srimad Bhagavatam – Ananta Das Babaji
There is no manjari-bhav in Srimad Bhagavatam. Manjari-bhav is coming from Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the Six Goswamis. Rasa Lila is sakhi-bhav. Rasa-Lila is Gopi mood. Srila Rupa Goswami has given the definition of a manjari in his Sri Krishna Ganodesa Dipika. This is the first time the definition of a manjari is presented. Lalita and Visakha are sakhis. Srimad Bhagavatam has sakhi-bhav. It is important to read for cleaning of the heart and for purification. In Bhagavatam verses there is so much power and for purity of the heart. For those who always have material attraction for that of course we need purification from all the verses in Bhagavatam. In order to taste Radha-Krishna bhav. This Vraja bhav is very high.

Does the guru take karma or papa of a disciple? – Ananta Das Babaji
No. That is not correct. Guru destroys karma. The guru does not take the karma of the disciple onto themselves. That is not our scripture. This is wrong and artificial thinking. An artificial matter. This is wrong Gaudiya siddhanta. Diksha destroys karma. Take shelter of hari-nam. Hari-nam can destroy at once millions of karma. Pray to Hari-nam. Take shelter of Hari-nam. Hari-nam is very powerful. Hari-nam is very merciful. Hari-nam will advise you; your mind, knowledge and onto the pure devotional path. Sri Ananta Das Babaji
