The difference between Avirbhava (appearance) and Janma-lila (birth).
Reasons for Krsna’s appearance and birth.
Krsna’s eternal associates are ragatmika, that is, they have spontaneous love and affection for Krsna, and are always absorbed in His mood.
Song: Sad Gosvami Astakam.
Krsna distributed prema only to His associates, but Mahaprabhu distributed it to everyone.
Verse: anugrahāya bhaktānāṁ mānuṣaṁ deham āsthitaḥ… (Srimad Bhagavatam 10.33.36).
Song: Sri Damodara Astakam.
By hearing this Krsna-lila katha with faith from the mouth of the sadhu, Vraja-prema manifests in the heart and at the same time all anarthas are destroyed.
The types of rasa and their subdivisions.
Krsna appears once in every day of Brahma, at the end of the respective Dvapara Yuga.
Verse: anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau… (CC Adi-lila 1.4).
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always with us in the form of the Holy Names, vigraha and svarupa.
This age of Kali is very fortunate due to the coming of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, hence it is called Dhanya Kali-yuga.
All living entities will be liberated by chanting the Holy Names.
