Srila Govinda Maharaja “Miami 1992″ Part 1 – Arrival

This lecture was recorded in Miami on the evening of July 16, 1992 during Srila Govinda Maharaja’s first world tour. At file position 45m30s-47m05s Includes discussion of how a person with material tongue and senses can chant the transcendental Maha Mantra. “Mahaprabhu said, ‘Service to the Vaishnava, service to Guru can give you that transcendental form and, through that you can chant Hare Krishna Maha Mantra and you can do seva.
Then the first necessity is to do service, to give your service to Guru Vaishnava. And through that you will get everything. Your form must become transcendental. And, another way you can see in the scripture, in Chaitanya Charitamrta, “diksa-kale bhakta kare atma-samarpana, sei-kale krsna tare kare atma-sama sei deha kare tara cid-ananda-maya, aprakrta-dehe tanra carana bhajaya” –Gurudeva substitutes the word “Krishne” (Krishna) for “tanra” (His, the Lord’s)
Then, nobody got this from your Guru. And the meaning can also come this way, diksa-kale bhakta kare atma-samarpana, when you are taking diksha from your Gurudeva, you are doing surrender, atma-samarpana, and immediately Krishna in the form of your Guru, He is taking you and immediately making your body transcendental and through that transcendental body you are worshiping Krishna.”
