There are two types and of education,�jada-vidya�and�para-vidya�material and spiritual education. We are atter spiritual education, the ultimate goal of which is�bhakti.�In order to get that�bhakti, we have approached the lotus feet of the previous�?caryas�headed by Vy?sa to offer worship to them. This is Vy?sa-p?j?. My heart is like a desert. It is as hard as a block of stone. So, I pray to these merciful previous�?caryas�that they mary slower their mency like incessant rain,�krpa-bari, on this desert-like heart. Without such mercy how can we get�bhakti�Our desert-like heart requires rain. It needs to be moistened by the torrential rains of mercy from the previous�?caryas�headed by Vy?sa. This book is compiled from lectures and informat talks delivered by Srila Gour Govinda Swami.
