I don’t eat grains to bring you the most smarana-maya sounds I can

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.7.7, one of my favorite verses: 

[yasyāṁ vai śrūyamāṇāyāṁ
kṛṣṇe parama-pūruṣe
bhaktir utpadyate puṁsaḥ
śoka-moha-bhayāpahā

Simply by giving aural reception to this Vedic literature, the feeling for loving devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, sprouts up at once to extinguish the fire of lamentation, illusion and fearfulness.] 

yasyāṁ vai śrūyamāṇāyāṁ very important, yasyāṁ is the pure transcendental vibration, the sounds of the lilas and the form, and the qualities of the Lord emanating from the mouth of a pure devotee or one who is remembering the Lord in his heart, or her heart. 

[tomara hrdaye sada govinda-visrama
govinda kahena—mama vaisnava parana 

Govinda always resides in your heart, and He says, "My devotees are My heart." 
Ei baro karuna koro – Narottama Dasa Thakur] 

Māṇāyāṁ means only by hearing, nothing else. Śrūya means śruti, which comes from the ear, śravana. So śrūyamāṇāyāṁ, simply by giving aural reception. It’s like something like our birth, like our father and mother came together and the father impregnated the mother and [then] we were born. Similarly, when you hear from a realized soul muhur aho rasikā bhuvi bhāvukāḥ 

[nigama-kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalaṁ
śuka-mukhād amṛta-drava-saṁyutam
pibata bhāgavataṁ rasam ālayam
muhur aho rasikā bhuvi bhāvukāḥ

O expert and thoughtful men, relish Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures. It emanated from the lips of Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī. Therefore this fruit has become even more tasteful, although its nectarean juice was already relishable for all, including liberated souls. 

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.1.3] 

when you hear, then in the sound the Lord is transferred. How? You don’t ask me how. It’s all transcendental. Through sound vibration the Lord goes actually into our ear. It’s like we are impregnated with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, can you imagine? Simply by hearing! 
Kṛṣṇe parama-pūruṣe... Parama-pūruṣa! We hear about the Lord. We hear the activities of Nitai, Gaura, Radha-Krishna. These are all the avataris, the Supreme source of all the incarnations,  and from a realized soul. A realized soul will never do rasa-abhasa. Because a realized soul is aware of rasa. So Kṛṣṇe parama-pūruṣe bhaktir utpadyate puṁsaḥ. Bhakti will arise. Because when the Lord goes into our heart through the sound vibration, then Bhakti will arise obviously because wherever the Lord is, Bhakti-devi is there, and wherever Bhakti-devi is, the Lord is there. So śoka-moha-bhayāpahā. Śoka means lamentation and moha means illusion, āpahā means extinguished. It’s permanently gone from our heart. So I’m a very worthless soul but I want to serve all of you through whatever transcendental sound vibration I can actually give through these YouTube videos. So I actually follow a very strict eating [diet]. I don’t eat grains, I eat only some bananas and coconut water, and only some boiled selected two or three vegetables, steamed ones. That’s all. I don’t eat grains, I take milk. Non-violent, violence free. If it’s available, because it’s difficult. So that’s all, and so that at least I can give my full remembrance and impregnate every sound with my remembrance of Nitai, Gaura and Krishna.
