10 Nov 2023 morning – Sri Damodarastakam. Verses 7 and 8 (English translation) – Vrindavana, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • In Damodarastakam, mother of Yasoda sees all the universes in the mouth of Krsna.
  • Krsna is avatari, the cause of all avataras, and They all reside in Him. This is the quality of Vrajendra-nandana Syamasundara.
  • The highest original form of Krsna is Nava Kisora, the young Man who manifests in rasa lila with Srimati Radhika.
  • According to Rupa Gosvami, Radha’s form is as beautiful or more beautiful than Krsna’s form. They hold a beauty competition.
  • Bhaktivinoda Thakura states that if it is not possible to stay physically in Vrndavana, one must stay mentally.
  • Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami did not go anywhere other than Radha Kunda. He teaches how to serve Srimati Radhika under the guidance of Rupa Manjari.
  • In the last verse of Sri Damodarastakan, Satyavrata Muni glorifies Srimati Radhika, pleading for this mood to appear in his heart.
  • Radharani controls Krsna, who faints and releases the flute, after seeing Her sidelong glance.
  • Gurudeva ends by saying: “May the mood of my Gurudeva be manifested in my heart”.
