By the causeless mercy of Guru and Gauranga we are now very nicely observing purushottama-vrata. Again and again I remind you of who Lord Purushottama is— Purusha-uttama, Purushottama. Which means one who is supreme to all persons and one who is the supreme controller of the entire universe. Brahma, Shiva and Narada are all hankering to receive one sprinkle of His footdust. And this Supreme Lord is actually called Vrajendra-nandana Shyamasundara, He is the Supreme Personality

Yesterday was the very super excellent auspicious day of Guru-purnima, the appearance day of Vyasadeva Gosvami, who manifested all of the Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads and Srimad-Bhagavatam.

Gaura-ganoddesha-dipika very clearly explains: tuṅgavidyā vraje yāsīt sarva-śāstra viśāradā sā prabodhānanda-yatir gaurodgāna sara

We recently have very nicely celebrated Lord Jagannatha’s Ratha-yatra maha-mahotsava, where Jagannatha is taken from His temple in Jagannatha Puri to Gundicha. After nine days, He returns to His temple in Jagannatha Puri. Becoming very tired, the Lord now takes rest for four months, called Shayana Ekadashi. However, Purushottama month is also approaching, where throughout the month we fast from tomatoes, eggplant, sesame, mustard seeds and oil, honey and urad-dahl. Shortly af

We are going to celebrate Srila Gurudeva's Vyasa-puja. It is necessary to understand the meaning of Vyasa-puja. There are two words - vyasa and puja.
