Every day Sri Caitanya worshipped the river Ganges, Ganga-devi.
The moods of krsna-lila are also manifested in gaura-lila.
Sri Caitanya was doing nama-sankirtana and manifesting Srimati Radhika’s mood of separation.
This is different from chanting the holy names out loud.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was manifesting Srimati Radhika’s mood of separation.
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura expressed the mood of servitude to Srimati Radhika under the guidance of Ananga Manjari in his song.
Without Ananga Manjari, the mood of conjugal love is not manifested in the transcendental world.
Why do the gopis run to Krsna? They are taken. The transcendental Kamadeva (Madhana-Mohana) has 5 arrows: modhan, madhan, mohan, sanmohan and ucatan.
Without Kamadeva and Ananga Manjari, conjugal mood does not manifest.
Shiva’s curse on Kamadeva (after he disturbed his meditation).
There are three types of Kamadeva: the one from the material world lives in Svarga Loka and is called Kamadeva, he also resides in the heart of living entities; another Kamadeva is Pradyumna, he lives in Dvaraka; and another is Krsna Himself, the original Kamadeva.
All the sakhis are manifestations of Srimati Radhika (Brahma Samhita).
Who is superior, Rupa Manjari or Ananga Manjari?
Kumar/kumari means child, like babies, rejecting Kamadeva (lust).
The Gopi-gita explains more about Kamadeva.
Ananga Manjari anugatya-seva: How to serve the Divine couple under the guidance of Ananga Manjari.
Song expressing the mood of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, “Udilo Aruna” by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.
Gaura Lila Smarana, book by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.
Rupa Manjari is prominent, while Ananga Manjari is confidential. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that what is prominent is more easily understood by everyone. But what is confidential is always explained in a hidden way so that minds are not disturbed.
