Shastra Charcha are recordings of informal meetings between Babaji and his students and guests at Jiva Vrindavan during the Bhakti Ratna semester between October 2023 – March 2024. The entire set will contain about 120 recordings each with a duration of approx. 20-30 minutes.
Questions asked and answers provided by Babaji cover a variety of śastric and devotional subjects and practical day-to-day queries. Thus the name śāstra-charcha — discussion on śāstra, mostly scriptures relevant to Gaudiya Vaishnavism.
In between the questions, Babaji also reads from the book Chitta-vinodini, “A collection of ślokas that entertain the heart.“

In Vyasa’s samadhi, he saw jiva, jiva’s conditioning, Maya, and Krishna. He also saw the solution, which is only by Bhakti yoga that we can get out of this conditioning. He composed Bhagavatam after knowing this. We should know that he wrote this book to propagate Bhakti yoga. It is very dear to Vaishnava devotees.
