It is not possible to put two swords in the same sheath, in the same way, when we develop our spiritual life, our material life restrains.
When one practices bhakti, dharma, artha, jnana and moksa want to serve the devotee.
Stages: sadhana-bhakti, bhava-bhakti, prema-bhakti.
The first two leaves of Bhakti, klesaghni and subhada, appear in the stage of sadhana-bhakti.
The two leaves sudurlabha and moksa-laghuta-krt appear in the stage of bhava-bhakti.
The two leaves sandrananda-visesatma and krsna-akarsini appear in the stage of prema.
The only form of mukti that the devotee accepts is the realization of his constitutional form of soul that is capable of serving the Divine Couple.
Krsna is covered by the golden color of Radha and comes to earth as Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Radha has blue eyes because wherever She looks She sees only Krsna.
Songs: Krsna Deva Bhavatam Vande and Radha Ramana Giridhari.
Radha is always playing with Krsna.
Song: Radha Krpa Kataksa Stava Raja.
Lila of Radha fighting with the bee that wanted to sit on Her feet.
The internal and external reasons for Krsna assuming the golden color of Radha.
Sloka: anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau… (CC Adi-lila 1.4).
Song: Ke Jabi Ke Bhai.
Mahaprabhu runs after the jivas (all beings) to save them and grant them prema.
The perfect pranali (initiation process) is to follow all the stages of bhakti step by step, chant the Holy Names and attain the realization of one’s soul identity.
