my prayer to Durga during Navaratri

Lord Sri Krsna did worship of Durga for the victory of the Pandavas ,but that is just to bewilder the atheists ,as Krsna Himself is the master of Durga this was before the battle of Kuruksetra , Lord Caitanya never observed Navaratri so whatever standard is set by Lord Caitanya is the standard if Navaratri was to be performed by Gaudiya vaisnavas it would have been included in Hari Bhakti Vilasa and described how.Siva ratri is there in Hari Bhakti Vilasa as this worship is…

When I joined the temple I was allowed to make sandalwood every day for one Lord Narasimha Deity worshipped by…

Girirani may not be a speculation after all

Prem Prayojan Prabhu wrote me:

No male person can witness the intimate meeting of Radha Krsna. Subal has to stay outside the kunja and fan by pulling a rope connected to a fan inside. Even during rasa-lila, the demigoddesses can see the lila. Their husbands only see Krsna dancing but not the gopis, according to VCT. So only females can be a witness to the intimate pastimes of Sri Radha Krsna. Therefore Raghunath Das Gosvami has written -- rasa-nidhi nava…
