Hari PrasadMODERATOR
Would you like to know something from Govinda's life that you don't know? So for all of you who don't know, Govinda is Achyuta Gopi's nephew.
Hari PrasadMODERATOR
And so you have heard the Mridanga, right? He's Mridanga playing, how he carries the kirtan, because Mridanga is the heartbeat of kirtan.
Hari PrasadMODERATOR
And Achyuta Gopi said about Govinda that he's so humble and shy, but he is very, very knowledgeable also.
Hari PrasadMODERATOR
And Govinda has a very, very special attraction for writing books, but not just any type of books.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
So it's always helpful to go back to basics.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
In anything we practice, like Mrdanga, there's a, there's a practice beat called Tere Keita.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
And a good teacher will insist that the student takes ample time to practice Tere Keita, Tere-- "No, slow down.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
Tere Keita.
Vineel MahalGUEST
So I would listen to these krithis or these film songs even, and I would try to examine what's happening in the percussion.
Vineel MahalGUEST
So I'm like, is the Mridangam hitting a lower bass tone?
speaker_0HOST
Mm-hmm.
Vineel MahalGUEST
Is the Mridamgam playing a little bit more in the higher register? Do we have Gattam? Are Mridamgam and Gattam kind of playing against each other? Do we have, like, Kanjira or something like that? Yeah.
Deena Bandhu DasGUEST
The, there's a- S- cow I still want to see.
Deena Bandhu DasGUEST

May I always visit all the holy places associated with the lila of Lord Chaitanya and his devotees.

When I hear the sound of Mrdanga in my heart, I always desire to join in kirtan.

And when I hear the bona fide songs describing Lord Chaitanya's pastimes, my heart dances in ecstasy.
PrabhupadaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Whenever I see the transcendental Sri Vigrahas of Radha and Krishna, I'm in bliss, for by taking Their Lordships' prasada, we can conquer over the material elements.
