The second volume of Hari-katha, translated from the Hindi and Bengali lectures of Srila Narayana Maharaja, is another exquisite selection of lectures filled with the deep siddhanta of Gaudiya Vaisnavism.

Hari-katha is the life-giving elixir for anyone on the path of devotion. This book is a compilation of sweet Hari-katha given by Srila Narayana Maharaja in the Kesavaji Gaudiya Matha in Mathura.

The futility of material enjoyment "Everyone wants to be happy, but generally we can find only a little happiness and affection in this world."

These translated lectures comprise the immaculate commentary of Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja on Srila Sanatana Goswamipada's Sri Brhad-bhagavatamrta. Descriptions given tell how, having recently arrived in Sri Vaikuntha-dhama, the most desirable of places and which entrance into is sought after by unlimited saintly persons, Gopa-kumar is feeling despondent and cannot even ascertain the cause of his own dissatisfaction. At that time he is approached by Sri Narada Rsi, who becomes his siksa-guru (instructing spiritual master) and enlightens him with the tattva necessary to complete his spiritual journey and thereby attain the fulfilment of all his long cherished internal desires — the transcendental land of spontaneous loving devotion to Sri Sri Radha-Govinda, Sri Goloka-Vraja.

Confidential Secrets of Bhajana is compiled from the lectures of Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja, which were given during the Karttika of 1996 in Vrindavana on the Bhajana-rahasya of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.

In the final chapter of Sri Brhad-bhagavatamrta, after the story of Gopa-kumara has been completed (see Going Beyond Vaikuntha), Sanatana Goswami has quoted verses from the tenth canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam which Pariksit Maharaja spoke to his mother Uttara. They are verses of very beautiful poetry which stimulate the sentiment of bhakti. Stringing these verses together, Sanatana Goswami has composed a necklace for the benefit of the sadhakas of this world, and when sadhakas keep these verses in their hearts, it is as if they are wearing this necklace around their necks. And if while taking Harinama they sometimes call out these verses, it will increase the ananda in their chanting. This compilation of verses is known as bhakti-rasayana, or the nectar-tonic of bhakti-rasa.

Sri Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu-bindu, a drop of the nectarean ocean of devotional mellows, is a brief summary of the essential topics from Sri Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu. It consists of twenty-seven verses, some of which were taken from Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu, but most of which were written by Srila Vishvanatha Cakravarti Thakura in Sanskrit.
