Sri Damodarastakam — An Immersive Kirtan with Sacinandana Swami

Extraordinary Transformation (SB 4.30.33) (Wellington 24/5/25)

"What does it mean to be weak in the presence of the Holy Name of Krishna? It means the more we realise I have no other hope, no other shelter, other than that sound vibration. That is the only solace, the only solution to material existence. Lord Caitanya came to demonstrate that."

💎 Mined from 2008 lecture by His Holiness Devamrita Swami > "Gopinatha Patinayaka flood of love of God, part 2."
