Avirbhava and Tirobhava

Śrīla Bhaki Ballabh Tirtha Gosvāmī Mahārāja is a living embodiment of trinad api sunicena.

May 4, 2024 |

Today I feel myself lucky to attain the assembly (Dharma Sabha) to honor his tirobhava tithi. My śikṣā-guru Śrīla Bhakti Ballabha Tirtha Gosvāmī Mahārāja was a great Vaiṣṇava according to the symptoms written in śāstras. Tremendous love for Guru-Vaiṣṇava to serve them from heart can give the real identity of a true Vaiṣṇava. By birth he was a sādhu (Vaiṣṇava). Near his previous house (Assam Gualpara) an ancient Śiva Mandire was there to give him a scope to serve Vaiṣṇava Raj Shyambu daily with water and Bilvapatram to satisfy him. Sometime parents used to express anxiety about the whereabouts of the boy. Usually, he used to go to the Śiva Mandire to do meditation.

Ram-līlā-siddhānta vichar

May 16, 2022 | ,

ll people are supposed to misunderstand Queen Koikaye for this kind of her cruel mood but the most secret siddhānta vichar can unveil the mystery behind it. Actually though Bharat was her own son but still right from the beginning of the joyful auspicious advent of Ram-lala, she was the most loveful mother of Śrī Ram-lala to take care of Him always and every moment. Even it was impossible for her to bear one fraction of second adarśana (separation) of Śrī Ramchandra, but still how externally she was known to everybody as very cruel mother. How? That is the main question.

Sep 16, 2021 |

 
Mahārāja Vṛṣabhānu’s doe-eyed queen, Kīrtidā, adorned with various ornaments, wearing divine garments, anointed with divine perfumes, and surrounded by countless friends and maidservants, was situated on a jewel-studded bed when King Vṛṣabhānu arrived at his palace holding the egg the goddess had given him. Seeing that her husband had arrived, worn out by fearsome austerity, his body covered with dust, but overjoyed at heart, she hurriedly rose and came to stand before him, her face shyly bowed. King Vṛṣabhānu then placed that majestic egg given by the goddess in the hands of his beloved Kīrtidā.

Sri Radhastami

Sep 12, 2021 |

There is one personality whose name is not referred to in the Srimad Bhagavatam, yet the readers of Srimad Bhagavatam nuture the hope of becoming that person’s devoted servant. May that personality, who is everything to Bhagavan, completely destroy our false-ego and grant us shelter at Her feet. Today is Her appearance day. Having accrued all varieties of compassion from Bhagavan, she distributes that as gifts to all. May that personification of great mercy manifest within our hearts and make Her appearance there. May Her appearance day be the concern of our adoration.

Sri Lalita-devi and Srimati Radharani

Sep 12, 2021 |

Whoever Lalita-devi meets in Vraja-dhama, she requests them to join her own party. And when they come, “Yes, come with me.” At once she is giving admission. “Come! Join the service of Radharani.” She is canvassing to look after the interests of Radharani. Such intense attention to the service of Radharani is never found anywhere else. Lalita-devi sometimes even chastises Krsna boldly. She takes risks by reproaching Krsna, “You do not know the dignity of my Mistress.”Sometimes Radharani feels ashamed within Her mind. She thinks, “What does He say about Me?” Lalita-devi replies, “This shame is very bad. You just sit quietly. You do not know Your own interest. I know what is Your interest, Your position.

Inconcevaiable causeless mercy always coming from the Original Akanda Guru Tattva Sri Bala Dau Ji Maharaj

Aug 22, 2021 |

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Thakur Prabhupada saying that Sri Balaram is the first expansion of Sri Krsna and he is just non-different from Krsna, so Baladeva Bhagavan is sebbya tattva and at the same time sevaka tattva, which is inconceivable. According to Acintya bheda bheda tattva Sri Baladeva Bhagavan is supposed to do no rasa lila but still he, the first expansion of Krsna can reserve the right of Rasa Lila, but of course with his own group (Jutha) not with the group of Krsna shakti.  It is quite natural that both Krsna and Balaram according to Braja rasa bhava always busy to reciprocate rasabhava with all Brajavasis according to their respective demand.

Srila Gaurakishoradas Babaji Maharaj

Nov 23, 2020 |

The apparently inactive conduct of the paramahansa, exhibited by Babaji Maharaj, must not be considered as in any way less beneficial to the world than the activity of preaching the Word in a visible form that is sometimes displayed by the eternal servitors of Sree Krishna by their auspicious descent to the mundane plane.
