"Sri Krsna is transcendental and His katha (descriptions of His glories and pastimes) is very powerful. Of all types of such katha, the katha of His sporting with the young brides of Vraja is the highest and most powerful katha. It is so powerful that if even a fallen or sinful person hears it with faith, it can purify him. If one understands this and hears this katha, gopi-prema must enter into that person's heart, kick away all anarthas, and turn him into a parama-bhagavata, topmost devotee."

Vaisnavas. The CDs will then be available for the international
community like a compilation. In this way the topics spoken will
be shared also by those who where not at the festival.
Gaura Premanande!
