14 Dec 2025 morning – Raganuga-bhakti (English) – San Jose, Costa Rica | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

  • Conditioned souls do not have spontaneous love for Krishna, for this reason they have no taste for hearing Harikatha, chanting the Holy Names and performing devotional service.
  • We must first understand about ragatmika-bhakti, and then we can understand about raganuga-bhakti.
  • Raganuga means following in the footsteps of the Vrajavasis.
  • Radha and Krishna have the same svarupa.
  • Krishna disguises himself as Syamala-sakhi and steals butter.
  • We can obtain vraja-prema when greed arises in our hearts.
  • Greed is the cause of greed.
  • Another name for raganuga-bhakti is lobha-mayi-bhakti.
  • The vrajavasis are not jiva-tattva, they are nitya-siddha-parikaras.
  • Jiva-tattva and parikara-tattva are of different natures. You cannot mix them all together.
  • The parikaras have spontaneous affection for Krishna 24 hours a day. They are never deluded by Maya.
  • Krishna is playing with His own internal potency and they are no different from Krishna.
  • The gopis are sarva-sakti-svarupini.
  • The reason why Krishna performed rasa-lila.
  • The ultimate completion of rasa-lila.
  • Srimati Radhika is Rasesvari, the Supreme Controller of Rasa.
  • Srimati Radhika is Isvari, She controls Krishna.
