Archived Old Site Downloads
This page is to list our downloads from the previous version of Sevamrta.com.
The old website still exists on the server, along with all of the previous lecture uploads, eventually I'll delete everything we don't need, but not these lectures.
If you didn't get these years ago, you still have the opportunity.

The old uploads
Sorry, I just copied the HTML straight across, not totally suitable, but it displays, even if not perfectly. Hopefully I'll have the time and energy to format it like the downloads page later on.
Oh expert and thoughtful souls, keep on hearing from sadhus
Quotes
Srimad Bhagavatam says:
- It is said here, therefore, that such literatures should be discussed in the assembly of devotees. Unless they are discussed by devotees, such literatures cannot be relished by the higher class of men.
- SB 2.3.14 purport
- Seva - service, dedication, is the summum bonum of the teachings of the Vaisnava school, the third plane of life where every unit is a dedicating member in an organic whole. In such a normal adjustment, everyone mutually assists one another in their service to the centre, the higher recipient, the highest entity. Everything is existing to satisfy Him, because He must possess this qualification to be the Absolute. He is the prime cause of all causes - and everything exists for Him, to satisfy Him.
- Swami BR Sridhar Maharaja (Sri Sri Prapanna-jivanamrtam, Preface pxvii)
- Sri Bhagavan Himself has said to Sri Durvasa Rsi: "aham bhakta-paradhino hy asvatantra iva dvija - O brahmana, the sadhus, My topmost devotees, hold complete possession of My heart. Their love for me is so great that I accept their control. And because their heart is so infused with prema-rasa, I have no desire to leave it".
- Srimad Bhagavatam 9.4.63
