The lila when Krsna comes home and finds Mother Yasoda. Krsna’s parents cannot conceive of His transcendental activities. The conceptions of rasa-vicara. About raga-marga...

When Srila Narayana Maharaja joined the Vedanta Samiti, he received diksa from Srila Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja, but Vamana Maharaja glorified him. True Vaisnavas glorify others without interest. Srila Narayana...
