vers 2 of Vraja Vilasa stava

 

In this Vraja Vilasa Stava ,Srila Raghunath das Goswami writes in vers 2:



I am scorched by the blazing forest fire of old age, deeply bitten by the poisonous snake of blindness, pierced by the sharp arrows of forced dependence on others, and surrounded by the lions of anger, lust, and greed. O Lord Krishna, please give me the nectarean potion of pure love for You, which will make me strong and heroic enough to resist all the enemies and engage in Your devotional service…

all glories to SRila Prabhupada

I was talking with Padmanabha Goswamis son Vaisnavacarya Goswami and he thought it was strange Srila Bhaktivinoda thakura is considered the 7 Goswami when Srila Lokanath das Goswami, Srila Narottama das Thakura, Sri Visvanath Chakravati Thakura etc is not ,the fact is Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura revealed Navadvipa Dharm just as the 6 Goswamis rediscovered Sri Vrindavan Dham by Lord…

remembering Padma Locan Prabhu

PAMHO



AGTSP

Padma Locan Prabhu wrote a wonderful parikrama book about Govardhana ,it is the best I have ever seen and the most important as it gets in details with unlimited places,I offer my pranams to his lotusfeet ,I will miss him, but I know he is with Lord Caitanya so there is no harm .(by leaving his body in Mayapure he surely went to the abode of Lord Gauranga, Krsna loka, or rather Bhauma lila of Gauranga first)



I would often go with him on Govardhana… Continue

By the way the Janma tithi vidhi is for Janmastami I have read it before, I will do some research from Hari Bhakti Vilasa

about Pancamrta, when it says sugar this is obviously not white (demoniac) sugar like in the west but some high class stuff .Srila Prabhupada never mentioned to have abhisekam like on Janamstami every day.I can understand if you do it on Janmastami or Visnutattva days? Every day you do this…

By His uncommon beauty, Sri Krsna Candra

However, when Sri Radha expands Her own

cleverness, She also captures Sri

Krsna's mind. Therefore She is called "Hara"
