PART 1 PART 2 In Vraja, if a person thinks even once: “I want to serve the lotus feet of Radheji!”, Lalitadevi takes the person to Sri Radha immediately. Today is Lalitadevi’s day and tomorrow, Radha’s day. These days are so auspicious! Story of the mouse who achieved human form in the next life, by worshiping the Deity at the time of death, without knowing it.

Bhagavan, who is complete, has splendour and controls them all. This Brahmanda of the four-headed Brahma, where we are, is the smallest of all the...

Maha Prasada Govinde song. Ausadi-seva – the service that is medicine. Krishna is sat-cit-ananda...
