Sattvika-vikara refers to the eight symptoms of ecstatic love for God that manifest in the body of a devotee: stamba (paralysis); svada (sweating); romanca (shivering); svara-bhanga (voice alteration); kampa (tremor); vaivarna (paleness); asru (tears); pralaya (fainting). Residents of Vrndavana possess spontaneous love for Krishna because they are nitya-parikaras, eternal companions. Ragatmikas are those who serve under the guidance of the nitya-parikaras. ⁠Jiva-tattva and parikara-tattva...

The conditioned soul does not want to hear Harikatha, but Guru and Vaishnavas give an injection of Harikatha, that is, they give strength like a doctor gives medicine. Bhakti means surrendering completely with love and affection to the Guru. We must be single-mindedly focused on Gurupada Padma. Story of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada and Vinoda Bihari Brahmacari who was going to meet his mother. The true meaning of guru-nistha. We must focus on which stage we are in and which asrama...

This nature can also be called its...

December 14, 2025 7:00 AM

Conditioned souls do not have spontaneous love for Krishna, for this reason they have no taste for hearing Harikatha, chanting the Holy Names and performing devotional service. We must first understand about ragatmika-bhakti, and then we can understand about raganuga-bhakti. Raganuga means following in the footsteps of the Vrajavasis. Radha and Krishna have the same svarupa. Krishna disguises himself as Syamala-sakhi and steals butter. We can obtain vraja-prema when greed arises in our hearts...
