25/01/24 morning – Goura-lila and Govinda-lila (English) – Badger, USA |Srila BV Vana Maharaja

– For now the heart is like stone, but listening to Goura-lila and Govinda-lila, your heart will melt.

– ⁠Navadvipa Dhama is no different from Krsna-lila.

– ⁠Krsna does the rasa dance and Mahaprabhu does the nama-sankirtana-rasa dance.

– ⁠In Vrndavana there is only one hero, dhira-lalita-nayaka Krsna, and the gopis are called nayikas (heroines).

– ⁠Radha is a type of heroine called: svadhinabhartrka-nayika (She who controls Her Beloved).

– ⁠In this material world, material love is a perverted manifestation of transcendental love in the spiritual world.

– ⁠Without parakiya-bhava, rasa (sweetness) does not manifest. This is not possible in this material world.

– ⁠Song: Bandhu Sange by Bhaktivinoda Thakura.

– ⁠Govinda’s look is very powerful. He is a great deceiver and turns everyone into beggars.

– ⁠How to realise the Lord? This is the aim of our sadhana.

– ⁠Sloka: ārādhyo bhagavān vrajeśa tanayas tad dhāma śrī vrṇdāvanam ramyā kācid upāsanā vrajavadhū vargeṇa vā kalpitā (spoken by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura).

– Lila from when Mahaprabhu did not approach the advaita-vadis.

– ⁠Krsna is the personification of bliss, but advaita-vadis only want to attain brahma (effulgence).

– ⁠Love is like camphor, it must be stored carefully, that is what the gopis do.

– ⁠Funny lila of Krsna telling the gopis that He married Vrndadevi.

– ⁠About Vraja’s parakiya moods: Nivaranata: has many obstacles imposed by superiors.

Durlabhata: It is very rare to find.

Pracchana-kamakata: the love of the gopis is hidden.

Vamyata: left-wing humour, maan (angry jealousy).

– The four qualities of dhira-lalita-nayaka Krsna.

– ⁠Radha’s lila afraid of a horrible snake and shouting: Krsna, Krsna, maha-baho!
