24 Nov 2023 afternoon – Glorification of the Seva of the Gopis (Hindi) – Govardhana, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
- Radha gets upset with Krsna and sends Him away. Krsna respects Radha so much that He places the peacock feather named after Her on His head.
- When Radha is in a certain mood, She tells Krsna to put “alta” on Her feet, and He obeys. That is dhira-lalita-nayaka Krsna.
- Getting Radha’s feet is very difficult for Krsna, what to say to one of us.
- Krsna is pushed by a sakhi. Krsna’s head touches Radharani’s feet.
- The gopis see Krsna’s flute and feel very envious. Despite being a piece of bamboo, when Krsna plays the flute, it feels like a kiss.
- The holy names must be chanted while meditating on these pastimes. As long as false ego exists, there will be bonds of anarthas and aparadhas.
- Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami prays: “I don’t want to be a servant of Krsna or Radharani, I want to serve the manjaris who worship Radha’s lotus feet.”
- The jivas liberated from this material world serve under the instruction of Rupa and Rati manjari, they do not act independently (anugatya-mayi-seva).
- The nitya-siddha-parikaras, such as Rupa Manjari and Rati Manjari serve according to their own inspiration (svatantra-mayi-seva).
- Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, in Krsna Bhavanamrta, says that these lilas are real, they are not imaginary.
- Only through harikatha can we know the glories of the transcendental world.
