Happy Days in Amsterdam
While listening to any lectures by His Holiness Tamal Krishna Goswami, please keep in mind that these lectures were given over three decades. The times changed and therefore some of the comments are obviously relevant to that point in time only. However, at the same time, most of the content is inspired from the eternal teachings of the Vedic Literatures and Gaudiya Vaisnava sampradaya (disciplic succession). In that light, the messages on these lectures have eternal instructions that can benefit listeners regardless of time, place, and circumstances.

Description: Dutch people, and even Dutch devotees, have a reputation of being stubborn, critical and very attached to their own opinions. And Amsterdam is one of Maya's main footholds in Europe, a degraded place where unemployment is widely spread and sense gratification of the grossest type is the all-pervading way of life. How to present the highest spiritual knowledge in such a polluted atmosphere and satisfy the audience? Accompany His Holiness to all kinds of different preaching engagements and experience how he succeeds in charming and attracting the minds of the Dutch people by his sensitive, intelligent preaching. Hear how expertly he deals with frustrated, discouraged persons, answers challenging questions, encourages young bhaktas and narrates nectar stories about Krishna's pastimes.
