#32 Lord Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu’s Travels to the Holy Places-5 | Govardhana Readings | 06 Oct 2025

Verses discussed: Cc Madhya 259-279 Prabhupāda explains that in one of his purports. He quotes from Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, and he said, there are three kinds of sukṛti. There's jñāna-sukṛti, which qualifies one for impersonal liberation. That's why some people—they already have that sukṛti—and they are attracted to that. Another is karma-sukṛti. It's called something else, but it means the same thing. They have sukṛti for getting really wealthy, really fast. It's just in them. And then there's bhakti-unmukhī-sukṛti, which means that somehow or other one comes in contact with pure devotees, as we know from another verse in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta: sādhu-saṅga, sādhu-saṅga—sarva-śāstre kaya lava-mātra sādhu-saṅge sarva-siddhi haya Just a little bit of connection with pure devotees can give one this bhakti-unmukhī-sukṛti. In the Jaiva Dharma, you'll find near the beginning—in the Bṛhad-Nāradīya Purāṇa—there's a verse that describes how, when one gets this kind of bhakti-unmukhī-sukṛti and it accumulates within the heart, when it comes to a certain level, then śraddhā is born. And there is a sense of appreciation for devotees and devotional service. So there are three categories of sukṛti.
