18 July 2025 morning – The Desire for Sri Radha’s Mercy (English) | New Vraja, California, USA

– Harikatha is like a rare jewel that must be kept in the depths of the heart.
– Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami performed severe austerities on the banks of Radha Kunda, and when Krsna appeared, he did not accept His mercy; his only hope was to receive Srimati Radhika’s glance.
– For Harikatha to be imprinted in our hearts, we must have and maintain a simple and pure heart like that of a child, without duplicity or hypocrisy.
– We need to nurture the desire to become a servant of Srimati Radhika.
– Pious activities alone will not bring us perfection, but if we have greed, we will easily achieve it.
– ⁠The cowherd girls of Vraja think day and night about how to make Radha and Krsna happy; they serve with their bodies, minds, and words.
– ⁠The residents of Vraja never think of Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead (Bhagavan), but rather that Krsna is their friend and family member.
