Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Below is the summary of 1.1.19 - 1.1.23.

Verse Summaries:

V 19:

• About developing taste.
• Mundane news is static. Transcendental news is dynamic and above the mode of darkness.
• Prabhupada said that he could write BG again.
• NOD 2:  Devotional service is easier for people who have taste, not for mental speculators.
• Chanting the holy name will increase the taste.
• HpS - ASA -- We also get a taste for hearing and chanting by doing Karma yoga as directed by Guru.  We are mechanics so we fix ISKCON cars then we like to hear!

V 20:

• Summary of Krishna’s super human acts.
• We are eligible for liberation by hearing the above.
• Explains why Krishna was like a human being : To have relationship with devotees.

V 21:

• Regular hearing of Srimad Bhagavatam is the only way for self-realization.

V 22:

• The ocean of Kali is difficult but we have a ship to cross over it and Suta goswami is the captain of the ship.
• Sages of Naimisharanaya are highly intellectual. Their association is incredible.

V 23:

• Question 6: Since Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Absolute Truth, the master of all mystic powers, has departed for His own abode; please tell us to whom the religious principles have now gone for shelter.

Next week's syllabus would be 1.2.1 - 1.2.5. Thank you for your association. We appreciate it and are grateful for it.

Your servant,

Sundari Radhika dd.

HpS - Such a nice start.  We arrive Boise 7PM, June 1st and hope to stay for about a week. Our mind says, "What to read?". Then the answer is easy - these SB verses. Of course, we will try to expand the program.
