Описание: 🌊 OCEAN OF TRANSCENDENTAL LOVE: THE MERCY OF ŚRĪ CAITANYA 🌊
October 1, 2022 | Kadamba Kanana Swami

In this immersive and heartfelt lecture delivered in Vṛndāvana, Kadamba Kanana Swami explores the boundless mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and the transformative power of devotional service. Drawing from *Caitanya-caritāmṛta*, *Śrīmad Bhāgavatam*, and the writings of the Goswamis, Swami reveals how the Sankirtan movement offers access to the deepest realms of divine love—even for those lacking spiritual qualification.

Through stories of Madhavendra Puri, Advaita Ācārya, and the Goswamis, and reflections on the six enemies of the soul, Swami emphasizes the importance of absorption, humility, and becoming an instrument of Mahāprabhu’s compassion. This lecture is a call to rise above struggle and embrace the mission of mercy.
