Those who have no love for Vaisnava commit aparadha. Love is service. Radha is the only one who fulfills all of Krsna’s desires. Krsna is sat-cit-ananda-vigraha. This material world is an inverted reflection of the spiritual world. Pleasure in the material world results in misery. Bali, Sugriva’s brother, holds Ravana under his armpit. Dialogue between Ramacandra and Bali, Sugriva’s brother. We should ask/pray for the sidelong glance of Srimati Radhika: Radha Krpa...

Yesterday we celebrated Sri Radhe’s birthday very well! Song: Radha Krpa Kataksa Stava Raja. When we glorify Radha, Krsna becomes happy and vice versa. Story from the Brahma Vivarta Purana in which Brghu Rsi tells Brahma that he wants to understand about Radha-tattva. The nature of love is to be tortuous, zigzagging. Verse that glorifies Sri Radha: anayārādhito nūnaṁ… (SB 10.30.28). When we speak the name of our Guru, our tongue becomes purified. Therefore Sukadeva spoke Radha’s...

We offer pushpanjali to Srimati Radhika. Radha-tattva and Radha’s sweet pastimes are very confidential. Lila: Bhrigu Rishi came to his father Brahma asking about radha-tattva. Vastu-shastra: Shivaji should sit in the north-east corner of the house or temple. Respect Thakuraji. Do not give Them onion and garlic, non-vegetarian products.
