Srila Prabhupad on importance of Sravanam:
--------------------------------------------
When a disciple is eager to hear spiritual subject matters, the spiritual master becomes very happy:
The most important process in devotional service is hearing from the guru, sädhu and sästra:
One should not give up the process of devotional service, which is performed in nine different ways (sravanàm kirtanaà visnù smaranaà päda-sevanam, etc. [SB 7.5.23]). The most important process is hearing (sravanam) from the guru, sädhu and sästra—the spiritual master, the saintly äcäryas and the Vedic literature. Sädhu-sästra-guru-väkya, cittete kariyä aikya.... sravanam is very important; one must hear from the Vaishñava sädhu, guru and sästra.
