Chanting and hearing, this was inaugurated by Lord Caitanya and followed by the six Gosvāmīns, and we are also following in the footprints of the six Gosvāmīns. Therefore we should offer our respectful obeisances, vande rūpa-sanātanau raghu-yugau śrī-jīva gopālakau.

Kṛṣṇa, or the Supreme Lord, has many, multifarious energies. Whatever we are seeing, it is all manifestation of His energy. So we are praying both to the energy. We are praying to the material energy also—material energy also, perverted reflection of the spiritual energy.

Actually, there is no material energy. Everything is spiritual. But when the spiritual energy is covered by ignorance . . . just like when the sky is covered by cloud it becomes dark. Similarly, spiritual energy, when it is covered by material energy . . . the cloud has no separate existence. It is also creation of the sunshine. Similarly, the material energy has also no separate existence. It is also creation of Kṛṣṇa, but it appears and disappears. The spiritual energy remains.

So when we dovetail ourself with the spiritual energy, then we become perfect. That is our perfection. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness is dovetailing ourself with the spiritual energy and thus become perfect. And this human form of life is meant for that purpose. So we are following the six Gosvāmīs. Kṛṣṇotkīrtana-gāna-nartana-parau.

Always chanting and dancing and chanting . . . what is chanting? Not any slogan, but "Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa." "Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare." This is chanting. Chanting does not mean that you chant like some parrot. No. Chanting "Kṛṣṇa." Kṛṣṇotkīrtana-gāna-nartana. Śravanaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ (SB 7.5.23). Kīrtanam, chanting, and śravanam, hearing, what? There are so many subject matters of chanting and hearing. No. Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu

So chanting and hearing, this was inaugurated by Lord Caitanya and followed by the six Gosvāmīns, and we are also following in the footprints of the six Gosvāmīns. Therefore we should offer our respectful obeisances, vande rūpa-sanātanau raghu-yugau śrī-jīva gopālakau. We offer our respectful obeisances to Rūpa Gosvāmī, Sanātana Gosvāmī, and to Raghunātha Gosvāmī and Jīva Gosvāmī and Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī.
