13 Feb 2026 morning – Sri Navadvipa Dhama Parikrama (Hindi) – Delhi, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

February 13, 2026 7:00 AM

Just as a thief behaves to steal, Krishna came hidden/disguised in the form of Mahaprabhu. We pray that the net of Maya be lifted so that we may see the sacred dhama. When we surrender at the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu, the dhama will remove the veil of Maya. There is only one Maya, but didactically, two are explained. Goura-lila is an appendage of Krishna-lila. Udhara means a very generous person. Goura-lila has much audarya (magnandom) and Krishna-lila has much madhurya (sweetness). We must...

Even for the very intelligent, it is difficult to understand Vaisnavas, as their outward activities can be contradictory; a yes seems like a no, and vice versa. Every verse of the Srimad Bhagavatam reveals the glories of Srimati Radhika. Srimati Radharani is prana-svarupa, the life and soul of Krsna. Etiquette dictates that when staying in someone’s home, we should glorify our host by showing gratitude. Srimati Radhika is Sridami (the Lady of Vraja). Every place in Vrndavana bears the...
