Sriman Mahaprabhu instructed His followers to travel and preach His holy names throughout the world.
Srila Sanatana Gosvamipada manifested the Brhad Bhagavatamrta, which is a compilation of the madhurya-rasa-katha.
Srila Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami glorifies his guru in his grantha Mukta-Carita.
Guru-nistha and guru-bhakti are the backbone of our sadhana and bhajana. He who has one-pointed faith in his Guru conquers the whole universe. Never criticise a guru!
Life and bhajana of Srila Raguntha Dasa Gosvami.
Sri Radha-kunda is no different from Srimati Radhika.
The Lord has invested all His power in the holy names; in Kali-yuga these names are more powerful than the Lord Himself.
Verse: kṛṣṇa-mantra haite habe saṁsāra-mocana (Caitanya-caritamrta, Ādi lila, 7.73).
The mahamantra of Kali-yuga is “hare krsna hare krsna krsna krsna…”, as described in the Kali-Saṇṭāraṇa Upaniṣad of Srila Vyasadeva.
In the mahamantra, Hare means Radha and Rama means Radha-ramana (the beloved of Srimati Radhika).
Song: Mero radha-ramana giridhari.
In the gopala-mantra there are three moods, Krsna, Govinda and Gopijana Vallabha, representing the sakhya, vatsalya and madhurya rasas respectively.
Srila Ragunatha dasa Gosvami received this mantra from his guru and met Sacinandana Gaura Hari.
Srila Ragunatha dasa rejected Krsna’s mercy offered to him in Radha-kunda because his goal was Radha-dasyam.
Verse: anaradhya radha-padambhoja-renum (Sva-sankalpa-prakasa-stotra, Srila Ragunatha Dasa Gosvami).
The three principles for attaining the ocean of holy love of the Divine Couple.
How to enter into suddha-bhakti under the guidance of vraja-raganuga-bhakti, aiming to serve at the feet of Srimati Radhika under the instruction of Sri Rupa Manjari.
