Gaura Purnima Celebration Monday in Walnut Creek

[Bill Costello]

Dear Devotees of the Bay Area Sanga,

Please accept my dandavat pranams. All glories to Sri Sri Guru & Gauranga! All glories to Sri Sri Radha Govinda!

 

Our beloved Sri Krsna has manifested Himself mercifully in this Kali-yuga, 540 years ago, in Mayapur dhama to deliver the world and distribute Krsna-prema, Not only Krsna-prema, but Vraja-prema and specifically the love of the gopis, madhurya rasa, more specifically manjari-bhava, the mood of the dear assistants of Radharani. How fortunate we are to be born in Kali-yuga at this time to associate with His followers, our guru-varga, and receive their blessings.

 

Mahaprabhu came to the most fallen, the most unqualified, to give the highest treasure being inspired by the merciful mood of Sri Radha.

“Krsna-kathā is not meant for passive listening. It should be cultivated, assimilated and put into practice. It is not that it enters through one ear and goes out through the other. No! It must go deep into the heart and penetrate there. One should practice what the Bhāgavata says—its teachings, its siddhāntas. Then you will get the real mercy of sādhu and śāstra. Then you will develop śraddhā, rati, bhakti—faith, attachment, and then bhakti. This gradual development is there.”
