* Ramacandra also performs pastimes, but they are not as sweet as Krsna’s. * We must understand the difference between the two types of lilas that exist: aisvarya (opulence) and madhurya (sweetness). * In madhurya there is also opulence, but it is covered by sweetness. * Even though Krsna shows His opulence to the vrajavasis, no one believes that He is God. * Audarya-lila is prominent in Navadvipa Dhama. In Vrndavana, madhurya is prominent, and audarya is secondary. * Krsna manifested one...

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...

Only Krsna has four special qualities: rupa-madhurya, venu-madhurya, lila-madhurya, and prema-madhurya. Vaisnavas never take credit for writing a book; they always give credit to Radha and Krsna. Lila of Jayadeva Gosvami fails to write a verse from the Gita Govinda and Krsna comes to write the verse for him: “Oh, Radha, place Your feet on My head!” Lila of how Vyasadeva included Her name, Sri, in the Bhagavatam and thus Radha, satisfied, agreed to sign the authorship of the Srimad...
