While listening to any lectures by His Holiness Tamal Krishna Goswami, please keep in mind that these lectures were given over three decades. The times changed and therefore some of the comments are obviously relevant to that point in time only. However, at the same time, most of the content is inspired from the eternal teachings of the Vedic Literatures and Gaudiya Vaisnava sampradaya (disciplic succession). In that light, the messages on these lectures have eternal instructions that can benefit listeners regardless of time, place, and circumstances.

Description: For all of us who could not personally attend the 1996 maha Vyasa-puja celebration, this series offers great solace. It covers all the lectures His Holiness gave during his visit to Houston, including the Classic "Three Steps To Perfection", in which he explains the process of spiritual advancement in an unforgettable way. You have to hear it yourself to understand this statement. His devotion to his spiritual master and his insight into Srila Prabhupada's unique contributions is simply astonishing. On yet another tape it's heartrending to hear him personally welcome each devotee who has come from a distant place around the world to attend the festival. Then once the devotees, including many of His Holiness's Godbrothers and -sisters, begin to read their offerings, the mood becomes saturated with devotion for that special personality who is influencing all of our hearts and lives, our beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace Srila Tamal Krishna Goswami Maharaja. The older devotees fondly recall early pastimes from the Radha-Damodara days which most of us have not heard before; Syamasundara Prabhu, the temple president of Hare Krishna Dhama, the ambitious project of the Houston community, reveals his secret of success, Balarama has the Gauranga hall shaking with laughter as he tells of his adventures as His Holiness's personal servant. The first initiations that were given after a long time, His Holiness's instructions on how to remember him when we have to leave our bodies, everything is there. These tapes will definitely increase your love for His Holiness. And isn't that the goal of our lives?
