23 Apr 2022 midday – Govinda’s venu-dhani (English) – Wales, United Kingdom

-Lila: Krishna checks which gopi is the most beautiful, like a blackstone test sets the best quality gold
-Just as like test blackstone never affects gold so Krishna’s black complexion never affects golden complexion of Srimati Radhika
-Not to listen to krishna-katha is an offense
-Krishna performs lilas in the material world to help all the living entities
-Only butcher rejects to listen to krishna-katha
-Krishna’s upper and lower lips gently massage His flute
-Krishna is Madana-mohana and Radha is Madana-mohana-mohini
-Govinda’s venu dhani makes gopis intoxicated
-Bhija-mantra klim enters into the gopis’ ears. Every gopi thinks that Krishna is calling only her and that she alone is running to Krishna
-Read explanations of Krishna’s flute power in my book Gopi-gita
-Vrindavana is the land of rasa
-We must have sadhu-sanga to get appropriate mood
-Lord Kapiladeva told his mother Devahuti: satam prasangan mama virya-samvido…
-Never listen to hari-katha from an avaishnava
-Follow 3 principles to enter into shringara-rasa: be one-pointed to Srimati Radhika; stay in Vrindavana; associate with high-class vraja-rasika vaishnava
-The place we should escape in Vrindavana
-Give up mundane talks and always remember krishna-katha
-Srila Gurudeva told Svami Maharaja’s disciples: ‘Your Prabhupada gave everything to you in his books, even rasa-katha’
-Read Srila BV Svami Maharaja’s book Krishna
-A mother gives a very precious thing to her small child, but the child cannot understand its value. Similarly, the guru-parampara gives you everything, but you cannot yet understand it. Chant the holy names, do bhajana and sadhana and gradually you will understand.
-3 aspects of Bhagavan; 6 opulences of Bhagavan
-Krishna’s amazing darshana
