Verse: Srimad Bhagavatam - 1.1.22
Where: Philadelphia, USA, April 24, 2008
Essence: “The bhakti-lata-bija that is present within our hearts is the most valuable treasure. We need to protect this valuable treasure from thieves like lust, anger, and greed by building a barrier of the four regulative principles, so that it eventually blossoms into a big tree going all the way up to Goloka Vrindavana, and produces fruits and flowers of prema for Radha and Krsna.”

Essence: “In this Kali Yuga anyone and everyone can be delivered by the mercy of the Holy Name, but if one offends the all merciful Holy Name of the Lord, there is no hope for deliverance.”

“We have to take proper advantage by chanting Hare Krsna as our Spiritual master instructs us and trains us and inspires us. And we have to be very attentive to avoiding any offenses to the Holy Name, which may slow our progress down or in some cases take away all the benefits that we have gained through chanting Hare Krishna.”

“So we should hear attentively everyday, meditate on this and try to free ourselves of all these offenses.”
