Sri Krsna always wants to serve Srimati Radhika, and Prabhodananda Sarasvati also prays to be Her dasi. This is the highest topic of the Gaudiya Vaisnavas. Srila Rupa Gosvami, Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, and Srila Gopala Bhatta took his view –’Radha dasi’ and not anything else – they want that Krsna should serve Srimati Radhika…
If there is no bhakti, or even a part of bhakti, ignorance cannot go. To the degree that bhakti manifests, in the same proportion, ignorance, unwanted desires, and anarthas disappear; otherwise they can never go. It is absurd to think, “First I should purify my heart, and then I will chant and remember Krsna.” First the sun should come, and then darkness will go…
The disguised Krishna said, “Krishna is a very bad person. He killed a lady, a cow, an innocent calf and a snake.”
Srimati Radhika replied, “No, it is not like that. Aristasura was not a bull, Bakasura was not a crane, Vatsasura was not an innocent calf and the snake Aghasura was Sin personified…
There are people who, although they have the fortune of being close to God, are completely selfish. They want to steal Krsna, keep Him close, and make Him their servant. Akrura is the leader of all such persons. Akrura wanted Krsna to come and liberate himself, his friends, and his family from the oppression of Kamsa.

Their meditation was strengthened and they continuously served Him and met with Him in internal consciousness, antardasa, as they constantly did kirtana of His names, forms, qualities, and pastimes. Our Guru-varga have manifested many commentaries on this mysterious topic…
1. I might think that I have power but actually Krishna has all power.
2. If I am not surrendered, false pride will come.
3. I get what I deserve. This is karma.
The gopis said, “If people offer themselves to Krsna, Krsna accepts them. He cannot refuse them. This is His weakness. He even accepted the witch Putana as a mother. She offered her breast milk to Him with the intention of poisoning Him, but despite her ill-intentions, Krsna accepted that as service and gave her a permanent position and seva in relation to Him. Now Laksmi will steal Krsna from us, and such is our…
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has given instructions on ten types of tattva to the faithful jivas. This is the Dasa-mula Tattva as written by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in Jaiva-dharma. Note down these principals in your heart and when needed, you can boldly say, “This is our philosophy.”
