Mercy, Chanting, and Practical Service
“One subbranch of Haridāsa Ṭhākura consisted of the residents of Kulīna-grāma. The most important among them was Satyarāja Khān, or Satyarāja Vasu, who was a recipient of all the mercy of Haridāsa Ṭhākura.”
What the purport teaches
- The residents of Kulīna-grāma formed a subbranch of Haridāsa Ṭhākura. Foremost among them was Satyarāja Khān, also called Satyarāja Vasu, who received all his mercy.
- During part of Cāturmāsya, Haridāsa Ṭhākura stayed in Kulīna-grāma. He chanted the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and distributed mercy to the descendants of the Vasu family.
