Caitanya Caritamrita class every Sunday in Walnut Creek
Bill Costello
Please accept my dandavat pranams. All glories to Sri Sri Guru & Gauranga! All glories to Sri Sri Radha Govinda!
This is a reminder of the ongoing classes every Sunday on Caitanya Caritamrita and Sanatana Siksa, one of the most important sections of CC. These teachings of Mahaprabhu comprise 5 chapters from 20-24 in the Madhya lila. Mahaprabhu imparted to Sanatana the knowledge of sambhanda, abhideya, and prayojana for 56 days at Dashaswamedha Ghat in Varanasi. I am currently in Madhya lila, Chptr. 22, The Process of Devotional service, which contains key essential points regarding how to practice bhakti from vaidhi sadhana to raganuga bhakti sadhana.
You are welcome to come to our house for association, bhajan, class and prasad, but you must send a text and let us know you are coming.
If you would like to listen online, email me and I will send you the link.

“Everybody has a desire for their own happiness, their own pleasure. If somebody has less desire for his own happiness and pleasure, then we can say that he is a mahat, a great personality. But one who is completely forgetful, completely indifferent to his own happiness, is su-mahat, a very great personality. And those who are giving pleasure and enjoyment and happiness to Krishna at the cost of their own pleasure and happiness, are param-mahan, supremely great, incomparable, and all-worshipable. They are the gopīs.”
