How we can get Krishna Prem - By doing Niraparadh Naam
There is no possibility of Mantra Siddhi, unless we do Bhakta Bhagwat Kirtan.
Mantra Sakti can only be achieved through surrendering, as because Mantra only decends through Guru Sisya Parampara.
Only Mission of Mahaprabhu's Avatar - To shower Krishna Prem.
Mahaprabhu - Ideal Teacher
Krishna - Theoretical Teacher
Mahaprabhu - Practical Teacher
One can not become Bhakt if one does not know the teachings of Mahaprabhu.
Ram Chandra Mahaprabhu - Maryada Purushottam
Lord Krishna - Lila Purushottam
Gauranga Mahaprabhu - Prem Purushottam
A Gaudiya is always striving for Madhurya Raas. Our only goal.
When our antara is pure, then bhagwan's swaroop, Naam prabhu's swarop and our own swaroop manifests.
To render Krishna Prem, Mahaprabhu has been taken 5 incarnations -
Bhakta Rupa - Mahaprabhu
Bhakta Swarupa - Nityanand Prabhu
Bhakta Awataram - Adwaita Arachya
Bhaktashyam - Srivas, Narad adi
Shaktikam - Gadadhar
-- CC Adi 7.6
Krishna Prema bina Vyartha, Daridra Jivan
Gaudiya Bhav - We are such servants of Krishna who aspires Krishna's love in exchange of Service. Our salary. Nothing else than Krishna Prem because that is paramount.
Aspiring Krishna Prem is not selfishness, because when one gets Krishna Prem, he puts is again in Krishna's service.
No Yoga ashraya, No Gyaan Ashraya, Only Naam ashraya.
This is Gaudiya Parampara bhaav and Mission.
We should always pay unconditional respect to
Vaya Vridh
Gyan Vridh
Example - Mahaprabhu always given utmost respect to Adwaita Arachya.
Mayavadi always try to establish Gyan as supreme.
There is no Gyaan if is not Krishna conscious Gyan.
E.g.
Prabhupada always refers gyan/consciousness as Krishna Consciousness in purports
In BG 9.34 Lord says Man Mana Mad bhakto.
Vishwanath Chakravarti Thakur has established that Lord is never Gyani Vatsal, Yogi Vatsal, Karmi Vatsal. He is always ONLY Bhakta Vatsal.
Till the time a person is not chastised, he can not become disciple.
E.g., Mahaprabhu punished Adwaita Arachya as he was preaching mayawad philosophy in his Lila. Adwaita Arachya was very happy.
Srila Rupa Goswami has established Mahaprabhu's teaching in this sloka -
When first-class devotional service develops, one must be devoid of all material desires, knowledge obtained by monistic philosophy, and fruitive action. The devotee must constantly serve Kṛṣṇa favorably, as Kṛṣṇa desires.’
When we do Sastra Swadhyay, it is not for cultivation of Gyaan. It is only to understand Tattva. Ultimately it is only for supplimenting our Bhakti and not to establish Gyaan as paramount.
How to get Ultimate Gyaan from Lord -
By praying lord from the core of our hearts - Bhajatam Preeti Purvakam - BG 10.10
The. Lord gives Gyan --
तेषामेवानुकम्पार्थमहमज्ञानजं तम: ।
नाशयाम्यात्मभावस्थो ज्ञानदीपेन भास्वता ॥
--BG 10.11
Prabhupada has taught us - We are not body, we are souls. We are Krishna's servants. This is our constitutional position.
Gopis were unconditionally loving Krishna.
jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam - We should rise from running behind Gyaan and Karma Kanda.
ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu - We should render devotional service anukul to Krishna i.e., in desire of Lord.
E.g., Yashoda maiya left Krishna crying to protect milk on stove.
Bhismadeva was throwing arrows on Arjun and Krishna
adyam swahastenam bhishmam vadhisyami - Lord Krishna was saying this when he was running towards Bhismadeva to kill him with Wheel of chariot.
mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ - we should always ONLY follow pure devotees like Bhismadeva, Dhruv Maharaj, Prahlad Maharaj, Our Spiritual masters, Councellor Guru, etc.
dharmasya tattvaṁ nihitaṁ guhāyāṁ
--CC Madhya 17.186
When we blindly follow mahajans, the understanding of Tattva manifests automatically in our hearts. Not through our own selfish and imperfect readings.
3 lilas of Mahaprabhu -
Acharan Lila - this Lila is predominant in all lilas.
Prachar Lila
Aaswadan Lila
2 tricks of Mahaprabhu in Prachar Lila--

Mahaprabhu did mercy on Ballavbhutt.
Krishna is not God. Krishna is supreme personality of Godhead.
2 literature important in Gaudiya. Mahaprabhu brought these from South India--
Krishna karmamruta
Brahma Samhita
When we do preaching, we must not forget aracharan, Vyavahar.
E.g., Prabhupada preaching in US, he established the acharan.
A devotee should always ashwad while in devotional service.
E.g., Radharani and Gopis were always in Virah of Krishna when he left them for 100 years.
Patience is key in Devotion.
Without patience how can some take the raas of viraha of Krishna.
One can get Krishna only in simplicity, not through intelligence. Krishna is supreme cheater.

Notes by Bipasha Aich Mataji -
Hare Krishna prabhuji
Dandvat pranam
In the lecture , HH Haldhar swami maharaj spoke about Chaitanya mahaprabhu
Combining the whole lecture he explained the meaning of pranati mantra of Chaitanya mahaprabhu
1. **नमो महा-वदान्याय कृष्ण प्रेम प्रदायते*
Daan - to give/donate
Maha - great
Gaur sundar mahaprabhu came here to distribute/ give greatest thing i.e KRISHNA PREMA
2. When Krishna himself came he put conditions to tell about Krishna like don't give it to envious people but Mahaprabhu said:
*Jare dekho tare koho Krishna updesh * and Since we belong to Gaudiya Madhava sampradaya set by mahaprabhu we should do that i.e PREACHING
3. Without Krishna prema our life is waste*
So everyone should read and know Caitanya mahaprabhu's teachings and who don't believe in Chaitanya mahaprabhu cannot get Krishna prema
*Prem bina vyartha daridra jivan*
Whatever we do in our devotional life , our main goal is to achieve madhurya prema which is given by Lord chaitanya who came as PREMA PURUSHOTTAM in this Kaliyuga
During Tulsi Aarti also we say *Shri radha govinda preme* dada yena bhaasi
*Shynyaitam jagat sarvam*
Without Krishna prema all things all wealth, knowledge is waste because we don't say Krishna is gyaan vatsal or yoga vatsal, We say Krishna is *Bhakta Vatsal*
4. But we should acquire knowledge about Krishna to preach about Krishna to everyone
5. • *trinad api sunicena
taror api sahishnuna*
• *na dhanam na janam na sundarim*
If we follow these we get Krishna prema BUT
All these things remain theoretical
We can only apply practically when we will serve guru and acharya
i.e *We can get Krishna prema only by mercy of Guru and acharya*
6. Chaitanya mahaprabhu did 3 lila
• Acharan lila:
• Prachaar lila
• Anuswadan lila
Mahaprabhu used 2 tricks for prachaar:
a. Never compromised in his philosophy
b. But still deals with everyone sweetly
E.g Vallabh bhatta pasttime
7. When Prabhupada went to foreign country he still followed every rules, etiquettes strictly and preached about Krishna
*We should always follow teachings of guru*
8. *कृष्णाय कृष्ण चैतन्य*
Krishna wanted to know the love of Radharani that's why he came as Chaitanya mahaprabhu
He himself is Krishna
9. In love for Krishna Gopis wait for 100 years because before going Krishna told them
*I will come*
Krishna was clever but gopis were so naive and simple
So that *We can get Krishna through simplicity* only
10. Through *Seva and Naam-ashraya* only we can get Krishna prema, given by mahaprabhu
