7 years, 1 month ago by Boisekids in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Following is the summary of 1.2.1 and 1.2.5 as discussed on Sunday.

Verse summaries:

V1:

Revising 6 questions:

  1. What is the absolute, ultimate good for everyone?
  2. What is the essence of all scriptures?
  3. Why did Lord Krishna appear?
  4. Please describe the pastimes of Lord Krishna.
  5. Please tell us the purpose of the incarnations.
  6. Where has religion taken shelter now that Krishna has left this world?

V2:

 Being a Vaishnava includes being a Brahmana.

V3:

Vedanta Sutra is the cream of Vedas and Srimad Bhagavatam is the cream of Vedanta sutra.

V4:

Puranas are divided according to three modes.

V5:

There are many questions and answers but only by asking questions about Krishna and getting answers for them will satisfy the soul. 

Next weekend is Gaura Purnima so it was decided that we can review the verses for both weeks (1.2.6-1.2.15) on the Sunday after Gaura Purnima.

Thank you,

Your servant,

Sundari Radhika dd.

HpS - ASA -- Of course, there is a wonderful biography of Lord Caitanya in the Intro to SB! What will happen to the 11.15-11.45AM half-hour during Gaura-purnima????
