Our Bhakta Bandhav Transcriptions of Srila Gurudeva’s hari-katha.
The door is the human form of life. Gurudeva repeatedly tells you, “The door is right in front of you! Open it and get out.” But we don’t want to listen to him. You should know that if you miss the opportunity in this human form of life; then you will miss it forever. And you will have to undergo the rigors of repeated birth and death in many forms of lives…
He has said, “My office is in Bombay. My sadhana-bhumi is in Navadvipa-Mayapura. I will practice bhakti in Navadvipa Dhama because Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu are so merciful. Unconditional mercy can come from Them to the fallen conditioned souls who have worldly ego and many desires to taste worldly things. So, I went to Navadvipa first and not to Vrndavana. My place of worship is Navadvipa Dhama. And my motherland is Vrndavana…”
But yet, the kinkaris didn’t allow Him. They want Krsna to go and meet Srimati Radhika. But they restrict Krsna outwardly. They tell Him, “You cannot meet Srimati Radhika.” Who is He? Who is that black person? He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the Lord of lords…
So, all the gopis were married to Krsna. But Krsna was in other forms i.e. He was in the forms of all the cowherd boys. So marriage was also done there. But no one knew that Krsna had become all the gopas, hence all the gopis were married to Krsna. But in fact, the marriage was done. We should also know who the gopis were. Who is Srimati Radhika? In the Brahma Gayatri, it is said, “Bhargo devasya…”
“Rama has no rasa. He cannot dance. In his entire life, Rama has never danced, even in His home. He cannot dance with His brothers—Lakshmana, Bharatha, and Shatrugna. He does not know how to dance.” Krsna can fight and vanquish many demons like how Rama did, but Krsna can dance sweetly with His sakhas like Subala and Sridhama and especially with the gopis…”
The root of all evils, anarthas, and offenses is the mind. The main root of all the evils and also the root of all good things is the mind. The mind is the cause of all evils. The conditioned souls come to this world and become opposite to Krsna. And thus, they go to hell. If our minds are not good, and are impressed by all kinds of evils, then they will take us to hell…
We want to make our heart like this and it should be given at the lotus feet of the Divine Couple—Sri Radha and Krsna. We cannot make our heart like this flower, but Gurudeva can come and make it. He will offer it to the lotus feet of Radha and Krsna. He is qualified. Those who are helping us to be engaged in the service of Radha and Krsna, they are really our bandhava…
She is a person. She is none other than Krishna and Srimati Radhika. The conjugal prema between Srimati Radhika and Krishna is called bhakti. The mood of Srimati Radhika is bhakti. Yogurt is obtained from milk, and the churning of yoghurt produces butter…
In the meantime, she requested that boy, “You should wait a little, I am making arrangements for prasādam. I am going to cook very nicely and in no time. I will cook and You should take, and my husband will come, then You may go. Just You should rest here awhile…”
