12 Apr 2021 morning – Madhurya Kadambini: Astonishing Nature of Prema (Hindi) – Mathura, India

  • Madhurya Kadambini, chapter 8, p. 400-402
  • Why demons saw Krishna in Vrindavan but did not get prema
  • Just as iron is attracted to a magnet, so Кrishna is attracted to a premi-bhakta to relish prema-rasa in his heart
  • Drinking water quenches a person’s thirst. But the gopis’ thirst to see Krishna is never quenched. In fact, the more they look at Krishna, the greater their thirst becomes
  • Since Krishna cannot relish Himself, He takes the mood and complexion of Srimati Radhika to understand Her love for Him
  • Bilvamangala Thakur wants to imprison Krishna in the dungeon of his heart
  • Bhagavatam is full of parokshavada (indirect speaking about something)
  • Bal-lila of Krishna feeding His reflection with butter
  • In a transcendental world even a lie is a truth (example of Krishna saying to His mother Yashoda He did not eat butter)
  • If you put all the beauty of this world on one scale and a drop of Krishna’s beauty on the other, Krishna’s beauty will outweigh
  • Krishna has no faults. Even His tendencies to steal and lie are His qualities
