* About the life of Raghunatha dasa Gosvami. * Without association with a sadhu, Bhakti-devi cannot manifest in our heart. * Chaitanya Mahaprabhu advises Raghunatha dasa Gosvami about true renunciation. * We should control the six sense impulses: speech, thought, anger, tongue, stomach and genitals. * There are five places where Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is always present. * If you think that you have committed any offense to Vaishnavas, you should perform Vaisnava-seva (service to Vaishnavas). * We...

Gaura means “fair skin”, and Hari means “thief”, therefore Gaurahari means the one who steals someone’s fair skin, that is, Krsna steals the fair skin of Srimati Radharani. Love does not use direct words, it acts in zigzag. “Gau” means Govinda and “Ra” means Radharani, so Gaura is Krsna who comes in the combined form of Radha and Govinda. Verse: śrī-rādhāyāḥ praṇaya-mahimā…(Śrī CC Ādi-līlā 1.6). Krsna and His potency are always together, but sometimes it is in manifest form and sometimes...

On Samudra Sena (briefly). Krishna giving darshana according to a devotee’s wish. How Hanuman in the Ramayana saw all the flowers red because of his anger at Ravana, when in fact they were of different colours, as described by Valmiki.

In Satya-yuga a brahmana lived here and used to sell champaka flowers. Krishna gave darshana to this one-pointed devotee and showed His Gauranga form in Satya-yuga. In Gaura-Ganoddesha-dipika it is mentioned that this brahmana was Dvija Vaninatha, a younger brother of Gadadhara Pandita in Gaura-lila. Samudra Sena had a wish to see Krishna as vraja-gopa and Krishna fulfilled his wish. Krishna reciprocates according to the degree of devotion and desire of a devotee. Jayadeva Gosvami was born in...
