Shri

We continue reading.

Sri Sri Vilayapaksemanjali by Srila Raghunath Das Goswami with the nectar comments of Sri Anantadas Babaji Maharaj.

We are reading, we continue reading, sloka number 102.

I read the verse again.

you are not merciful to me, then what is the use of my life, my living in Braja and even Krishna to me? O Varuru, nicely tied girl, thus I somehow spent this time here, aspiring after oceans of nectar.

Now, if you are not merciful to me, then what is the use of my life, my living in Vraja, and even Krishna to me?" We continue with the purport on page 367.

Srimad Bhagavatam states, he whose memory of the Lord's lotus feet, that are sought for by all the Gods and sages, is always fresh and does not deviate for even half a second, And he who does not care about all the opulence of the three worlds is the greatest Vaishnava.

Again, he whose memory of the Lord's lotus feet that are sought for by all the gods and sages is always fresh and does not deviate for even half a second And he who does not care about all the opulence of the three worlds, he is the greatest Vaishnava.

And it's signed as well.

And it's signed as Sri Shyam Charan Deva Sharmaan.

Which is interesting.

We always say Lahiri Mahasaya, but actually other scholars and other peoples from other paths, they say Shyam, Charan, Lahiri.

So the next section is that Lahiri Mahasaya says, Guruji says he wrote no books.

Lahiri Mahasaya wrote no books, but he did instruct various disciples of his interpretations.

And Guruji says that his dear friend, Sri Anand Mohan Lahiri, who must have been prominent because he has Sri after his name, and he is said Mohan Lahiri which means that he's a relative of Lahiri Mahasaya he's a late grandson of the master so he must have passed away when Guruji wrote these words not much is available about him but I'm just wondering when the family lineage will voluntarily donate his family home to YSS, because we're desperate to have that as a place for pilgrimage.

So if any relatives are listening, please, please do your utmost, because most of the time it's closed, so it's not even available to even non-YSS members.

So you can manifest.

You hear many times this story that this sadhu was seen, like we hear this type of story about Neem Karoli Baba, that he was there and he was here also, and we heard him there and we saw him there.

Heard like stories like this about Shripad Baba was there, here in Vrindavan.

I don't know if you heard him, about him or not.

So about him also, I heard these stories.

If you want to chant, oh, you should pray for this: "Mercy of Srila Prabhupada." And try to, oh, follow his instructions.

And how he was humble, tolerant.

Oh, he was the embodiment of trina dupi suni cena taru rupi sahisnuna amani na manadena krsna nya.

But they have not so much mercy for others.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu himself did.

All his devotees, Rupa Goswami, Sanatana Goswami, up to Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami, his disciple, my Gurudev, Swamiji, all these.

So both, but not that you should give the practices and only preaching, then you will be karmic and you are bound to go down.

No? So don't do this.

[rock music] Hey everybody.

Today I want to do a follow-up to my video that I did some time ago on my leaving of my guru, Sri Dharma Acharya, formally back in January.

It's now August.

I wanted to just share some feelings about that now that a lot of time has passed since the events in question, since I left him, since I made that video.

This is inspired by someone who wrote an email to me, who also had questions about him, and it's not the only email I've received from total strangers who have had questions and issues from Sri Dharma, and have felt themselves not being drawn to him, enjoying him, but staying far away.

And the person wrote in the email, "I don't want to open up any new wounds or anything.

If you'd like to talk, that's great." It was really sweet of them to say that.

I don't feel pain or hurt or anything, honestly.

So I drop this whole batter in.

Just like I would make my spreadable Srikaya I drop it into that hot bath As soon as it's in contact with heat It curdles Right Because it has a lesser density Than the Agar-agar It floats And then it separates And you get your Agar-agar Srikaya

You're listening to BiblioAsia+, a podcast produced by the National Library of Singapore.

At BiblioAsia, we tell stories about Singapore's past, some familiar, others forgotten, all fascinating.

Very honoured indeed.

You know, Kier, thank you for coming on the show.

What we know of kaya in Singapore actually belongs to a wider repertoire of egg-based coconut confections known in Malay as Srikaya.

So what does the term Three Choir actually mean? Yes, let's
