Sarvabhavana Prabhu began the evening class reading from Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita,Adi-lila chapter thirteen: The Advent of Lord Chaitanya. He explained the stories thoroughly and helped us to properly understand the narration of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's Pastimes. Pusta Krishna Prabhu then gave a very powerful and animated lecture. At the end of the lecture he motivated all of us young devotees to distribute the nectar Mahaprabhu has given to us. We must not be selfish, and share the treasure! |
