In Vraja, if a person thinks even once: “I want to serve the lotus feet of Radheji!”, Lalitadevi takes the person to Sri Radha immediately. Today is Lalitadevi’s day and tomorrow, Radha’s day. These days are so auspicious! Story of the mouse who achieved human form in the next life, by worshiping the Deity at the time of death, without knowing it. The fruit of listening to Srimad Bhagavatam is: the heart melts and seva-vrtti (desire to serve) awakens. With great affection and...

September 11, 2023 9:12 AM

Verse: kṛṣṇa-mantra haite habe saṁsāra-mocana (Caitanya-caritamrta, Ādi lila, 7.73). When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu took sannyasa, the advaita-vadis criticised Him for dancing and singing in various places. Mahaprabhu received the gopala-mantra from his guru, this mantra gives detachment from sense gratification (he is mantra-raja, the king of mantras). Srimati Radhika taught the kama-gayatri mantra to Visvanatha Cakravartipada. To learn more about this mantra, read Mantrartha Dipika. Sriman...

Without the mercy of Srila Rupa Gosvamipada we cannot understand the heart of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He gave the definition of pure bhakti in the sloka: anyabilasita sunyam (Caitanya-Caritamrta, Madhya Lila, 19.167). The three types of knowledge (about the soul, about God and about unification with the impersonal brahman).
