December 1, 2025 12:00 PM

क्या आप जानते हैं — गीता किस कृष्ण ने बोली थी? The Krishna who spoke the Bhagavad Gita is Vasudeva / Dwarkadhish Krishna — the majestic, royal form of the Lord. In the Gita, Dwarkadhish Krishna says: “Ye yathā māṁ prapadyante… As you surrender to Me, I reciprocate.” Here, Krishna is the teacher, the guide, the commander. Arjuna is His student. Duty, surrender, and philosophy are the focus. But Gaudiya Vaishnavism reveals something even deeper: The same Krishna manifests in three forms —...

This place is as beautiful as Vrindavana. Concentrate your mind on krishna-lila. Verse: rādhā karāvacita pallava-vallarī ke… (Radha-rasa-sudha-nidhi, 14). Let my mind be in places completely dominated by Srimati Radhika. Sri Radha, wearing a crown, is in Surya-kunda, meeting Krishna. The description of Radha-kunda includes the ashta-sakhis kundas, the Svananda-sukhada kunja and a bridge. Set your goal and do your bhajana-sadhana only after you have done so.

0:02:12 – How to progress in our spiritual life? We need three things: Sambandha (relationship with the Lord), Abhideya (the process of bhakti), and Prayojana (the ultimate goal). Srila Rupa Gosvamipada speaks about this in Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu. The one goal is to give happiness to Krishna; this mood should be uninterrupted, like a continuous stream of honey. Bhakti should not stop; all efforts should be for Krishna’s happiness. For Krishna’s happiness, we must give up...
