Bhavi-viraha: feeling of future separation; Bhavya-viraha: feeling of past separation; bhavan-viraha: feeling of present separation.
Story of Yamaraja with Rsi Mandap.
Sloka: śrī-gopya ūcuḥ aho vidhātas tava na kvacid dayā… (SB 10.39.19).
Explanation of the different types of viraha.
The suffering of the gopis in separation from Krsna after He went to Mathura.
Funny lila of the gopis asking Krsna why He is dark. He says it is because He was born at midnight and other hilarious explanations.
Funny lila of Krsna calling Radha to sit with Him.
Lila of Radha in maan during rasa-lila and Krsna feeling separation from Her.
Srila Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja established Krsna with the light color because He feels separation from Radha and manifests Her color.
In the mood of the Gaudiya Vaisnavas, Radha’s prema is higher than Krsna’s.
The manjaris are focused on the service to Radha and never want to meet Krsna intimately.
Mantra: śrī rādhe merī svāminī, maiṃ rādhe jū ko dāsa, janama janama mohi dījiyo, śrī vṛndāvana ko vāsa (Śrī Harirāma Vyāsa/Viśākhā Avatāra).
Only Sri Radhe and His sakhis can enter the splendid Radha Kunda. The beautiful kundas they have there are the Svananda-sukada-kunja of Ananga Manjari.
Song: Radha Kunda Tata.
Song: Kabe Gaura Vane.
That is why we do not give up attachments even though we know what is right.
