Here is some mercy about Srila Gaura kisora das Babaji

Gauranga Gauranga or Rupee Rupee

Once several visitors began to eulogize the son of one famous caste Gosvami because of his expertise in explaining the Srimad Bhagavatam. They told Srila Gaurakisora,"This lecturer always chants "Gaura! Gaura!", and exhibits many devotional moods in devotional service which attract many disciples." Srila Gaurakisora then revealed the nature of the householder Gosvamis' son to the people who had gathered there. "That Gosvamis' son who appears to be so expert does not know how to properly describe the scriptures of the Six Gosvamis of Vrndavana. He is expert in superficially explaining their literatures. Actually, he does not loudly scream "Gaura! Gaura!", but "Rupee! Rupee!" (Money! Money!). If one performs devotional service like this, simply crying very loudly for wealth, then his devotional attitude is meaningless. This is the reason why actual Vaisnava practices have become covered. This behavior reaps havoc in human society. This kind of activity will never benefit anyone.

TRANSLATION

1) Where is She who is full of prema? All glories to Sri Radha.

 

2) O Radha, please give me Your darsana and save my life. Your wretched beggar calls out to You, "Radhe! Radhe!"

 

3) O Radha, You enjoy pleasure pastimes in the forest of Vrndavana wherein You enchant the mind of Krsna.

 

4) O Radhe, You are the crest-jewel among Your eight principal sakhis. O Radha, daughter of Vrsabhanu Baba. Raghunatha dasa Gosvami was alway calling out, "Radhe!Radhe!"

 

5) Sometimes at Kesi-ghata, sometimes at Vamsi-vata. Sometimes in Nidhuvana, sometimes in Seva-kunja.

 

6) Sometimes at Radha-kunda, sometimes at Syama-kunda, sometimes at Kusuma-sarovara, sometimes at Giriraja-Govardhana.

 

7) Sometimes at Talavana, sometimes at Tamalvana. Raghunatha dasa wears simple cloth which appears to be dirty because he is always rolling on the earth crying out, "Radhe! Radhe!"

 

8) Calling out "Radhe! Radhe," his eyes are bursting with a flood of tears. He wanders throughout the lanes of Vrndavana crying out, "Radhe! Radhe!"

 

9) He knows nothing but Radha-Govinda throughout the day and night (56 dandas: 1 danda=24 minutes). Radhe! Radhe!

 

10) He takes rest for only 4 dandas (1 hr. 36 min.). At that time in his dreams he receives darsana of Radha-Govinda. Radhe! Radhe!
