The meaning of prema (transcendental love) is ocean of tears. Love is very important for spiritual life. Krsna has an unbreakable connection with the Vrajavasis, even though He went to Mathura. Why did Krsna go to Mathura, Dvaraka, leave Vrndavana and never return? Use your brain to understand, there are four types of meeting and four types of separation. Krsna’s lila meeting Radha and both delighting in each other’s vision, when a black bumblebee begins to circle Her feet...
meeting: four types
09 Oct 2025 morning – Damodarashtaka (Hindi) – Delhi, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Human beings beautify themselves with their ornaments, but in the case of Bhagavan/God, His ornaments are beautified by Him. Humility is the companion of love; they are synonymous. A sloka that reveals how much the Lord appreciates humility: dīnere adhika dayā kare bhagavān… (CC Antya-lila 4.68). The ornaments that are in the Lord are conscious and delight in the beauty of the Lord. Everything in the transcendental world is conscious. A beautiful description of the sound of Krsna’s flute...
