Good answer to is the Garga Samhita Authentic and then why the 6 Goswami did not quote from it ?

good answer His Grace Chaitanya Charan Das ha s given a good answer please listen...he also says we can not know what the 6 Goswamis did not quote from , he says they are not here to answer that question themselves so we can not speculate on why ..also maybe the Garga Samhita was not widely widespread at that time ? As he said no google search back then..so that is an argument

Here is my… Continue

Pastime of how Sri Narada Muni Cursed Lord Vishnu

KRSNA You can no longer touch me!

dear devotees I wrote this a few years ago but have cleaned it up today for Radha Kundas appearance :

KRSNA You can no longer touch me!

Sri Radha told Krsna , first you killed Vatsasura the calf and now you have killed a bull , Shame on you Krsna ! Krsna smiled : dear Priya Radha , there was no sin there ,they were demons disgused as a calf and a bull.

Sri Radha said it does not matter, even you have to atone for killing a calf and a bull .So Krsna called all the holy places,…

Yamuna gave Krsna a clear path

So this painting is then incorrect ? Because Yamuna gave a clear path to Krsna ? But I have read somewhere in Sastra that Yamuna at one point rose Her waters to Krsna would touch Yamunaji with His lotusfeet ,,,so both seems possible, though Srila Sanatana Goswami has stated Yamuna gave Vasudeva a clear path to walk to Gokula ,like when Moses and the Jews went out of Egypt,that example came to mind ,Sri Moses asked the Lord to make a clear path

 

When Vasudeva crossed Yamuna…
