While starting out as Bhagavatam-lectures, these classes turn
into powerful appeals for the need for strong faith in authority
(first of all in one's guru, but simultaneously in the temple
president and senior Vaisnavas) as an absolute requirement for
healthy spiritual growth, both individually as well as for our
ISKCON-movement as a whole. This series is compiled and released
under His Holiness's personal instruction and recommended for
managers on all levels.
Australian Summer Tour '93 - 4 TAPES with VINYL ALBUM
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?
1996 -5 TAPES
As devotees, we have to face a double challenge:
1. By Srila Prabhupada's mercy, we have been given the perfect
philosophy and armed with that, we are requested to challenge the
materialistic way of life and those who follow it.
2. Then, sooner or later, we have to also take an honest look at
ourselves and at our lives as devotees. Are we able to
incorporate the high ideals we are preaching to others?
elaborates on these pressing points in this new important lecture
series.
Dallas, 1996/97 - 6 TAPES
2 extra-ordinary darshan tapes, recorded on May 4, 1998. An
intimate gathering of Srila Gurudeva with the Dallas devotees,
assembled to pre-celebrate his upcoming graduation of Southern
Methodist University, marking the crown of three years of Very
Hard Work for Srila Gurudeva. Sit in on this memorable evening
and relish Gurudeva's unabashed love and appreciation for these
dedicated devotees, all of whom went out of their way to assist
and care for their spiritual master in a selfless mood. After the
hearts of all present have thus been melted by his sweet words,
Srila Gurudeva, experienced teacher of spiritual emotions, causes
them to practically shrivel up again by, for the first time,
revealing his future plans, namely to leave Dallas and continue
his studies at Cambridge. Who said spiritual life (and love) is
bittersweet....!?
