Bilvamangala Thakura’s lila and the beautiful Cintamani send him to Vrndavana. He blinds his own eyes and in the end has the darsan of Krsna who guides him. This example is given to show that we should not deviate from our path, Krsna will guide us.
The paths of karma, jnana and tapasya cannot lead to Krsna.
To have the darsan of Sri Krsna one must have transcendental eyes, not material eyes. And this means listening to Harikatha.
About the three types of gopis that exist, and mainly about Radha-nistha-gopis who are the manjaris. The sakhis one-pointed to Srimati Radhika.
About the Grantha manifested by Bhaktivinoda Thakura called “Bhagavat Arka Marichimala”. Where he quotes the slokas of Srimad Bhagavatam that are spoken by the manjaris. Everyone needs to read this book.
About how the manjaris never separate from Srimati Radhika even for a second.
How Sri Krsna calls Radhe knowing that the manjaris will come together too.
If we have a little taste for the highest mood, we will no longer have interest in the other moods and the other Sampradayas.
About Radha-kunda, its eight kunjas that correspond to the eight sakhis. And in the middle of the Kunda there is the Kunja of Srimati Radhika’s younger sister: Ananga Manjari.
About the kunja of Ananga Manjari called Svananda-sukada-kunja, manifested by Srimati Radhika.
The manjaris glorify Srimati Radhika, but Krsna boasts of lifting Giriraja Govardhanafor seven days, but She lifted Govardhana for a lifetime.
Instruction: Read the songs of Bhaktivinoda Thakura to taste the mood of Radha Kunda directly.
