“Why Become a Devotee?” Srila B. S. Goswami Maharaj. August 15, 2016. Gupta Govardhan
Disappearance Day of Srila Rupa Goswami and Gauri Das Pandit
Gaura-lila is like hide-and-seek. Gauri Das Pandit is Subal in Krishna-lila. There is only one real love: divine. The svarup is the spiritual form expression of the soul’s devotion. Radha-kunda: waters of self-sacrifice.
Capacity for appreciation. Stages of faith development. Stages of development of prem. Subal helps Krishna to meet Radharani. The deities of Gauri Das Pandit. Why “Rupa-nuga” line? Heart achieves the greater depth in separation. The supreme enjoyer wants to experience the position of a devotee.
Rasa-dance: estimation of love. Krishna steals Radharani’s heart. Ratha-yatra pastimes of Mahaprabhu. Rupa Goswami can write reality. From Vrindavan to Dvaraka. Glorification of the holy Name by Rupa Goswami.
