05 Mar 2026 evening room – The Opulence of Krishna (Hindi) – Navadvipa, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

– When Krishna plays His flute, each cow hears its own name: Shyamali, Dhavali, Mrdanga Mukhi, Padmagandha.
– Song: Sarvasa Tomara.
– Story of the sadhu who, while passing near hell, naturally freed thousands of suffering souls from hell simply by the scent emanating from his body.
– Analogy between the ripening process of a mango and the condensation of the prema of the gopis.
– On meeting and separation.
– ⁠Lila of the gopis questioned why Krishna left the rasa dance, causing them so much separation pain.
– Funny story of the devotee who anxiously searched for his own gancha (bath towel) while not realizing it was wrapped around his own head. That’s how the gopis feel separation from Krishna even when He is present!
– Krishna hides behind a tree because He likes to measure how intense the prema (pure transcendental love) is that the gopis feel for Him when they think He has gone away.
– Song: Krishna Deva Bhavantam Vande.
– Saubhari Rishi can manifest 50 forms of himself with the power of his yoga. But Krishna manifests infinite forms according to His will.
– Krishna is an expert in all the perfections of yoga.
– ⁠At the same time, each gopi thinks that Krishna is sitting exclusively in the asana that each one made for Him.
– Krishna is Yogesvara, the Supreme Yogi.
– In the assembly of thousands of gopis with Krishna, they all thought and saw that Krishna was looking, sitting in the asana, and was exclusively with them!
– When Krishna speaks, His communication is understood according to the mood of each gopi, corresponding to their individual moods.
– The difference in understanding that the gopis have of what Krishna says is due to the different levels of maturity of their prema (feeling of love devotion) for Him.
– The speaker speaks according to the qualification of the audience.
– Read the Gopi Gita that Srila Gurudeva Vana Gosvami Maharaja wrote; everything is explained there.
