Bhagavān is the Complete Person (puruṣaṁ pūrṇam), who has His own eternal abode and liberated associates in the spiritual realm. He has real potencies inherent within His nature, all of which can be divided into three categories — intrinsic (antaraṅgā), intermediary (taṭasthā), and extrinsic (bahiraṅgā). Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī’s unique contribution to Vedānta philosophy was to make this distinction expl...

Śrī Brahmā designed the senses in such a way that they perceive only outwardly — they cannot perceive the individual self or the Supreme Self within, even during the waking and dreaming states. The Supreme Self can, however, be perceived by the grace of bhakti, which is the Lord’s internal potency. Śrī Kṛṣṇa asserts this: “Only through pure devotion coupled with faith can I be understood and reali...

Questions on today’s Swami call: 03min 00sec Can you elaborate on the phase of development in bhakti where one starts to feel that Krishna is directly accepting one’s service? 12min 30sec I preach mostly to women, and with the rise of feminism, it’s difficult to explain all the suffering of female figures in Gaudiya Vaishnavism and sastra in general, such as the gopis, Sita-devi and Vishnu-priya....

This presentation on the 63rd Anuccheda of the Bhagavat Sandarbha deals the the nature of Vaikuṇṭha and confirms that no one fall from that transcendental abode.

They will never meet with destruction; My unblinking wheel never devours those for whom I am the total Beloved, thei...

An in-depth review of the anucchedas which represent Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī teachings on Brahman.
