They are criticizing in India that I am giving a brahmana’s position to these mlecchas and yavanas. You should be very careful so that we may not be subjected to criticism. If there are so many foreign brahmanas in India and I am making brahmana in the Western countries, if they are still fallen, then what is this attempt? My attempt is futile…
…If in order to carry out the command of the Vaisnava guru I have to be arrogant, to be brutish, to suffer eternal perdition, I am prepared to welcome such eternal damnation and even sign a pact to that effect. I will not listen to the words of other malicious persons in lieu of the command of the gurudeva. I will dissipate with indomitable courage and conviction the currents of thought of all the rest of the world, relying on the strength derived from the lotus feet of Sri Gurudeva. I confess to this arrogance…
Don’t think that the nonsense books and novels of materialistic people are the same as the books of our gosvāmīs. Kavirāja Gosvāmī took the love and affection of Urjeśvarī Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, contained it in this book, and it is now available for us. This message—this love—is very powerful and helpful. This is the only drink for the rāgānuga-bhakta. If one takes any other drink of this world of matter, the mind will come under the control of that mundanity and be drawn away from eternality. If one is showered with this nectar—this Govinda-lilāmṛta—then he will be taken to Vraja-dhama. At the time of Her abhiṣeka, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī sits on a golden seat. The two washerman’s daughters named Mañjiṣṭhā and Raṅgāvati make a paste of young reddish mango leaves and offer it to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī to clean Her teeth. They also give Her a tongue-scraper made of gold. Water for rinsing Her mouth is then brought in a golden pot…
The advertisers are asat-saṅga: “Come on, smoke cool cigarettes and make your brain cool.” The rascals! How can someone become cool by smoking cigarettes? By smoking fire one can become cool? Still, the advertisements are being presented, and the foolish people who are captivated by them smoke cigarettes to become cool. This is māyā. One who is a little intelligent, however, will immediately see the contradiction in the advertisement: “This advertisement is claiming I can become cool by smoking cigarettes? What is this nonsense?” Similarly, an intelligent person can understand māyā’s tricks and see the contradictions in all her allurements…
Bhagavatī Paurṇamāsī is Yogamāyā, the expansion of svarūpa-śakti. She notices that early hours of dawn, there were many sādhana-siddhas waiting for Kṛṣṇa to wake and chanting gopāla-mantra or kṛṣṇa-gāyatrī. Having achieved their perfected forms, they now waited for service…
What I speak is a very , very serious, deep and subtle philosophy. It is not superfluous. This sisyatva, discipleship, is eternal. I should be disciplined eternally. The guru inflicts discipline on me. To remain a disciple means to remain under discipline. Unless he catches hold of my ear and slaps me, how can I become humble? How can I surrender or dedicate myself?”
“The sun is rising,” Rādhārānī said, “and nice lotuses are blossoming. You know, many bumblebees fly to the lotuses very eager for nectar. Kṛṣṇa will certainly run and attack us. He is also a very greedy bumblebee in the family of bumblebees, therefore I have some fear…”
We should chant and remember Krsna. Thus, automatically all the waves of problems will be solved, and life-maintaining will also be accomplished. Everything will be done. We should only try to solve the problem of how to attain the service of Krsna, and especially how to attain Vraja-bhakti. If you want a little money, you can attain it by very little effort…
Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī gives these pastimes of Govinda-līlāmṛta, distributing this nectar for all of us. On one side, Kavirāja Gosvāmī distributed Caitanya-caritāmṛta. First, he completed Caitanya-caritāmṛta, then he began Govinda-līlāmṛta…
