      Glories of Kamada Ekadashi

      This harikatha was spoken on 9th April, 2006 at Kolkata Math wherein Srila Gurudev emphasizes on the real objective of observing Ekadashi-vrat. ‘Upavas’ means refraining from any sinful activity and staying near to the Lord by abandoning all sorts of material sense pleasures and material thoughts. Ekadashi removes all sorts of attachment for material perishable objects and so it is enjoined to observe this vow by abstaining from indulging in any sort of material sensual pleasures and solely focus the mind on the Lord.

      How to Prepare Our Heart?

      In this harikatha Srila Guru Maharaj narrates how on the adhivas tithi (One day before Ramnavmi) we should purify and prepare our hearts, so on Ramnavmi (Appearnce day Lord Ramchandra), He will descend in that purified heart. Lord is beyond our comprehension. He and His abode is transcendental and by His own mercy He will descend in the purified heart of a devotee.

          We are to accept that which is congenial and give up that which is not congenial for worship of Krishna; we should have firm faith that He is the only sustainer and protector; we are to dedicate ourself totally to the Lotus Feet of Krishna; and be humble by giving up all false material egos.

          Just by Remembering Him, One Becomes Free From Millions of Births

          Mahārāja also explained that only when a pure devotee is giving prasādam, whether or not it was formally offered to Kṛṣṇa with mantras and everything. If you do that you offer the formal mantras and go near the altar and all that, you still don’t know if Kṛṣṇa has eaten it. But when a pure devotee hands prasādam, you know Kṛṣṇa has eaten it even if it wasn’t offered to him, it was just handed to the pure devotee.
