Harikatha Tastes Fresh Everytime

Book, Sreela Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj

  • Actual Harikatha - transcendental spiritual speech, descends to a completely surrendered soul through a preceptorial channel. Material words and songs can become stale, but Harikatha can never become stale. Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu heard the entire holy biographies of Dhruva and Prahlad from Srimat Gadadhar Pandit Goswami at Purushottam Dham a hundred times, yet He expressed His desire to hear those biographies again and again. As the Supreme Lord is All-Existence, All-Knowledge and All-Bliss, the Transcendental Absolute Sweet Entity, the glories of the Supreme Lord always taste fresh and sweet to the deserving pure devotees.

    The glories of the Supreme Lord and His pastimes and personal associates can never become stale. The Gopis, the foremost personal associates of Sri Krishna, are continuously chanting His glories, but those chants and utterances of words give them taste afresh. They are drowned in the ocean of increasing transcendental bliss which is beyond the comprehension of the conditioned souls of the world.

    Our requirement is incessant happiness and that is positively fulfilled by the above method of devotional practice. What further do we want? In this context, it is incumbent upon sincere seekers after truth to go through the wonderful biography of Sri Krishna Dvaipayan Vedavyas Muni to see a gradual systematic approach towards Absolute Bliss.

    Sri Vedavyas Muni is universally regarded as the great preceptor of all sects of people in India as well as in foreign countries. `Vedavyas' means one who has divided the Vedas into four categories - Rig, Sam, Yajuh and Atharva. He has written Vedanta, the best scriptural evidence of the jnanis, Mahabharat which includes the Gita, adored by all in the globe, and eighteen Puranas.
