10/11/23 morning – Sri Damodarastakam – Verses 7 and 8 (Hindi) – 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”.
