Krsna Bhavanamrta chapter 14

pranams to my Gurudeva and Srila Prabhupada and our Guruvarga .

Pranams to the readers of Krsna Bhavanamrta, someone may argue that we have not right to hear Govinda lilamrta which is pure stupidity , but Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada stated that all rasika sastras and philosophical books of the Goswamis and acaryas must be read and understood along with chanting minimum 64 rounds daily. We are not living in Goloka Vrindavana so these astakaliya…

Chapter 13

Radha and Krishna Drink Honey

(10:48 a.m. - 3:36 p.m.)

Again, lotus-eyed Krishna wandered through Vrindavana forest and after a while He came to the Hemanta forest (the season in November-December). The paths that were shaded by thick trees to protect Him from the summer heat were now morose out of separation from Him. The Hemanta season looked just like Hari's union with the gopis, who have big buttocks,…

Wanderings in the Forest (10:48 a.m. - 3:36 p.m.)

Then, Radha and Krishna, the generals of king Anuraga's (constant passion) army, being surrounded by Their silimukhi ('honeybees' or 'arrows') soldiers and keeping the elephant named Cupid ahead of Them, came to the autumnal forest. Sri Krishna told Sri Radhika, "O restless eyed One, look at this auspicious, beautiful pond with this golden…

Chapter 11 of Krsna Bhavanamrta

Playing on Swings in the Rainy Season (10:48 a.m. - 3:36 p.m.)

Surrounded by the sakhis, Krishna came out of the kunja and the honeybee-like glance of His beloved One drank the honey of His sweetness. It was as if millions of Cupids, being defeated by Krishna in beauty, worshipped a drop of the beauty of His toenails. Looking at Radhika, Krishna placed His left arm on Her shoulder, making Her shiver with ecstasy, like a…

Relishing the Nectar of Playing in the Kunja

(10:48 a.m. - 3:36 p.m.)

While Radha and Krishna blissfully spent Their time in the kunja, Lalita and the sakhis sat in their assembly under a tree and Nandimukhi and Vrinda had their long cherished desires fulfilled by seeing Radha and Krishna's loving pastimes. The six seasonal (India has six seasons, not four) Laxmis came to that assembly of sakhis to hear what their…

my humble pranams to the readers of Krsna Bhavanamrta

So Srila Prabhupada wrote :

"Shrila Visvanatha Chakravarti Thakura has given us a transcendental literature entitled Krishna Bhavanamrita, which is full with Krishna's pastimes. Devotees can remain absorbed in Krishna-thought by reading such books."

(Shrila Prabhupada KB "Uddhava Visits Vrndavana"

So Srila Prabhupada authorized reading Krsna Bhavanamrta but who is reading it? Who is even carefully…

Breakfast and Other Pastimes

Pratah Lila continued (6:00 a.m.- 8:24 a.m.)

In order to relieve Shri Krishna from His separation from Radha, one young suka parrot recited verses to Him with the syllables 'ra' and 'dha' hidden in them, so that He could relish them without being caught by His superiors. He sang, "May Lord Narayana, whose body resembles a mountain (dharadhara), be merciful to us!" After that, the parrot…

After this, the maidservants came before Shri Radhika's jeweled sofa with golden pitchers in their hands, filled with water which was cool in the summer and warm in the winter, to quickly wash Her beautiful mouth. One maidervant poured water from her jug into her palm. As Shri Radhika flushed Her closed mouth, moving…
