Srila Gurudeva: There are three ambitions of Krsna really. To fulfill these things, He came to this world and He sprinkled this in the world to all jivas. All the jivas at that time who were with Caitanya Mahaprabhu were certainly fortunate, certainly so much fortunate. We are also fortunate that we have come in that line…
Srila Gurudeva: If there is transcendental sraddha, like lobhamayi-sraddha, then it is the symptom of raganuga-bhakti-marga. Caitanya Mahaprabhu has come to give this thing. Not only the beginner class, because Ramanuja, Madhvacarya, and all have already given this thing. Even Nrsimhadeva, Varahadeva, Ramacandra, all had already given these things. But they had not given that kind of raganuga-bhakti. So in this kind of sraddha, anyone may have a greed for serving Krsna with raga, with that deep attachment which is in the parikaras, the associates of Krsna like His friends Sridama, Sudama, Subala, Madhumangala or with that raga which is in Yasoda Maiya, in Rohini Maiya, or in Nanda Baba. Or especially they may have a greed to serve Him with that raga which is in the beloveds of Krsna like Lalita, Visakha, Citra, or in Srimati Radhika…
Srila Gurudeva: We are chanting, remembering, we are reading the books of Svamiji, Srila Bhaktivedanta Svami Maharaja. Also, we are reading so many books like Srimad-Bhagavatam, Caitanya-caritamrta, we remember so many slokas, we can give so many classes, very beautiful classes, but we don’t realize anything. This is the thing. We are not satisfied. Why is our heart not melting? Why are tears not coming? If anyone chants Krsna’s name really, He is bound to come. Because Krsna is so beautiful, so marvelous, sweet, He has all kinds of attributes. So, anyone who is really chanting, Krsna will come in his heart and his heart will be melting. Tears will come, then trembling will come, and their body will tremble. Sometimes sweat will come. Sometimes he will roll down on the earth, crying out, “O Krsna, where are You? O Radha, where are You?”…
Devotee: Gurudeva, Svami Maharaja Srila Prabhupada had compiled the Bhagavatam for the benefit of the whole world in English and many different languages. We were thinking, what is the possibility that perhaps Navadvipa Prabhu and your Divine Grace can come up with another edition, a translation of Bhagavatam from where Srila Prabhupada left off? A translation of Srimad-Bhagavatam’s tenth, eleventh and twelfth canto?…
Srila Gurudeva: If you are not knowing anything, then how you can do this? You can never do this. So, chanting and remembering Krsna, being in Vrndavana under the guidance of any very qualified, very rasika tattva-jna Vaisnava, this is the best siksa. These are the teachings of Rupa Gosvami and Mahaprabhu. Thinking that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead but yet Srimati Radhika is my aradhya-devi, my worshipable deity. Then who is Krsna? He is off far away relation. We have a very distant relationship with Him. He is the prana-natha of our Srimati Radhika. That is why we have some relation with Krsna. But more relation, our main relation is with Srimati Radhika. We are the servant of Srimati Radhika…
So we see in the appearance of Krsna, that first this earth, in the form of a cow, went to the demigods and she was weeping, “I cannot tolerate the weight of all these sinful, bogus people. They are neglecting their svarupa-dharma and they are like demons. They don’t know the religion of the atma. They think that, ‘We are the monarch of all.’” Who were these personalities? Jarasandha, Duryodhana, especially Kamsa, Aghasura, Bakasura, Sisupala, Dantavakra, and all others. Only always eating, drinking, and mating. There was no aim and object of their life, only how to anyhow be happy by eating fish and meat, drinking wine, women, by any worldly thing…
Srila Gurudeva: Without form, there is nothing — only zero. Zero is also a shape. If the atma and Krsna have no form, then how is He in our hearts? But that form is transcendental. By these earthly eyes, we cannot see Him. In the Vedas there is so much pramana, evidence, proof for this. From the Vedas we can prove that Krsna, Rama, and Visnu are Himself God, Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Krsna is svayam brahma. It has been written in Vedas…
Kṛṣṇa is not an ordinary cowherd boy. This son of Nanda and Yaśodā is parabrahma. There is no one who is like Him. He plays with the gopas and gopīs. Yaśodā even twists the ears of this parabrahma. She even ties Him with a rope and scares parabrahma. Even though Kṛṣṇa weeps, His weeping is also blissful…
All tattvas (established philosophical truths) will come, renunciation will come, and all your misfortune will go away. Suppose you want worldly happiness, considering that worldly paraphernalia, relationships, and attachments are good, and thinking, “I should have so much money.” What will Nityānanda Prabhu do? He will take away all these attachments and give you transcendental love. He knows how you can get this love…
