  • ananyāś cintayanto māṁ
    ye janāḥ paryupāsate
    teṣāṁ nityābhiyuktānāṁ
    yoga-kṣemaṁ vahāmy aham (Bhagavad-gītā 9.22).
  • Radha’s lila with the calf.
  • ⁠The conditioned soul is like deer and hinds that run after mirages in the desert.
  • ⁠The three daily baths of Sri Radha and their meanings. Read the Jaiva Dharma!
  • ⁠Radha’s blue clothes are the colour of Krishna’s skin. It is Krsna Himself covering Her body. What a beautiful bhava!
  • ⁠All the Gosvamis wrote in the Bengali language.
  • ⁠About Advaita Acarya singing a beautiful poem to Mahaprabhu.
  • ⁠Radha is not without Krsna at all, She has anuraga for Him, She is never completely satisfied.
  • ⁠About when Sri Radha gets angry with Her sakhis.
  • ⁠Radha’s lila suffering in separation and asking Her sakhis to place Her on top of a Tamala tree after Her “deaths” of longing.
  • ⁠Radha asks Her sakhis to cover Her body with Krsna’s names.
  • ⁠Radha says She wants to abandon Her body due to the fire of separation.
  • ⁠Radha’s body becomes so hot that, every moment, She has to be transferred to a new bed of fresh flowers, and Her body covered in camphor, kumkum and sandalwood.
  • ⁠If God is testing you, be happy to take the test, you prepared to pass the test, and maybe this will be your last life here.
  • ⁠Life here is like a theatre, doing bhajana, little by little, your two costumes will be removed: the gross body and the subtle body.
  • ⁠Five stages of perfection: sadhana-siddhi, mantra-siddhi, bhava-siddhi, svarupa-siddhi and vastu-siddhi.
  • ⁠Song: Palya Dasi Kori.
  • ⁠Read Jaiva Dharma and Jewels of the Heart.
  • ⁠There are twelve rasas and each of them has a different colour.
  • ⁠Read Bhakti Rasamrta Sindhu, you need to study!
  • ⁠The four infallible weapons of parakiya-rasa: durlabhata, pracchana-kamakata, nivaranata and vamyata. The more condensed the love, the more tortuous the manifestation of prema.
