Revelation of Krishna

All the devotees are very happy here we are seeing like a child they are play this football. But they’re not considering they are becoming old day by day.

You are all here happy, then I am happy. For the happiness of the devotees, Krishna given that opportunity to meet together here in this Govinda Dham, Sri Govinda is the supreme personality of Godhead. In his name, this Govinda Dham manifested. It is very good.

In Brahma-samhita we can see,
īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ
sach-chid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ
(Brahma-saṁhitā 5.1)

Very nice sloka, he is the supreme personality of godhead. His name is Krishna and his form is transcendental, sach-chid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ and especially full of ecstasy, full of joy, full of charm beauty love, everything within him and it is spreaded whole transcendental world, and shadow also come in this world, that. And he is all creations creator. This way Brahma-samhita given identification. We cannot actually identify wholly and perfectly to our lord. That is how much we can know. Brahma himself two three times he is defeated by illusion of Krishna and many times Brahma confess it, many where.

jānanta eva jānantu
kiṁ bahūktyā na me prabho
manaso vapuṣo vācho
vaibhavaṁ tava go-charaḥ
(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14.38)

Who will say I know you, he can say. But by mind, by form and by my speech I cannot get end of your holy divine form. I have not seen. Actually it was Brahmas confess, when Krishna playing with the Brajabalaka and playing with the cows and cowherd boys and also calf, Brahma thinking really he is my creator? Which way my creator is playing with cowherd boy and in this Dham Vrindavan? For here is no aisvarya, majesty opulence here is not present, and he is living in that highest transcendental abode. Which way he is here? Brahma was mohita, puzzled. Then he tested, He is really my creator or not? And when he have seen he cannot see end of his creator, he surrender to Krishna and told, ye who will tell I know you’re glories, he can tell, but I am not seeing your glories actually. It is endless, what can I say? And Krishna bestow his mercy to Brahma again.

That Govinda-stava in Brahma-samhita, not so big, only fifth chapter we have got by the grace of Sriman Mahaprabhu. It is hundred chapters, but where is that we do not know, but fifth chapters when Brahma-samhita reading in South India some brahmans Mahaprabhu after hearing that, he is thinking my whole preaching conception inside there. Then he taken that fifth chapter only and given to the devotees.

Mahaprabhu himself not composed anything, only when he was very much intoxicated with Krishna-prema, that time he told some slokas, his own composition slokas, eight slokas you know that’s name is Siksastakam. And another two three slokas in the name of Mahaprabhu we can see. And when he given that Brahma-samhita to the devotees they was very happy. Mahaprabhu accepted and satisfied with that Brahma-samhita, fifth chapter. And that is his preaching and we are also following that.

And another book also Mahaprabhu collected from South India. That book’s name Sri Krishna-karnamritam. It’s written by Thakur Bilvamangal. Bilvamangal Thakur was very exclusive, very much exclusive devotional line but before he not was like that. He shown his pastimes, before Bilvamangal was a brahmin but attached with some prostitute, name was Chintamani. But one day Bilvamangal was so much attracted mentally, and that day was very cloudy and storm and rainy day but night he cannot stay in his house and went to meet with that girl.

But in the Krishna-vena, that river he cannot cross. Necessary to cross the river and no-one boatman was there, night ten or eleven o’clock. But he must go, he is thinking which way I shall go, he jumped in the river and swimming he will cross that very big river. But there was one dead body and he do not know it is dead body and he taken dead body and gone, and in the house of that girl, that was big compound wall. He cannot cross that compound wall and seeing in the wall one rope, and taking help of the rope. But that was not rope, that was one snake, this is he was unconscious through his illusion and he, nothing can check him.

Then finally when he fall down other side, inside of that compound, then some sound hearing, that Chintamani thinking, some sound of a man. “Who is inside, you see.” And Chintamani’s sakhis they come and see the brahmin. And seeing that brahmin, they told to Chintamani and in the body of brahmin there is the dead body’s smell coming, they washed him and given some cloth, and told, Oh Brahmin how much attachment you have for me! But if it is you will give for your Lord, Krishna, you will get super-benefit of your life. You given your life for me, today you may die, but you not considered that, you come to me, and it is miracle for me and I am thinking how much also I am sinful. I consider myself as a too much sinner, and you also what done that is miracle things, but your attachment too much for me. That attachment you can offer to your Lord. You are a brahmin, you give to Krishna that attachment.

And brahmin also have got some consciousness, “Oh it is true. This prostitute what said, it is not within my consciousness,” and he was very shy, then he also promise, “From this day I shall not do, to be attached I shall up myself in the lotus feet of Krishna, and that Chintamani also think, I have done so much sinful work in my life and from this day I shall leave this business.” This way both was very much enlightened by Krishna Consciousness and spend their night and Bilvamangal gone out. Then he went to meet with a sadhu and that time he have got association, he have seen Somagiri, and taken sannyas from Somagiri, and his book, Sri Krishna-karnamritam when he composed that time he praised the Chintamani and Somagiri both.

chintāmaṇir jayati somagirir gurur me
śikṣā-guruś cha bhagavān śikhi-piñcha-mauliḥ
yat-pāda-kalpataru-pallava-śekhareṣu
līlā-svayaṁvara-rasaṁ labhate jayaśrīḥ
(Chaitanya-charitāmṛta, Ādi 1.57)

Hearing this type of sloka Mahaprabhu was so much intoxicated. It is not possible to compose by an ordinary man. No doubt he is great devotee of Krishna. And one after one sloka when reading Mahaprabhu is getting so much mood of intoxication, devotional mood of intoxication. That way Mahaprabhu himself when heard that Krishna-karnamrita book he told this is my all is my heart expression I am seeing in this book and glorification of Krishna, there is so much glorification in the line of paramour love. And seeing that he was very happy and he took that book copy and brought from South India.

There is so many exalted slokas glorification of Krishna and feelings in the paramour love. Many slokas inside there, and finally Bilvamangal’s expression in that book was very much appreciable.

bhaktis tvayi sthiratarā bhagavan yadi syād
daivena naḥ phalati divya-kiśora-mūrtiḥ
muktiḥ svayaṁ mukulitāñjali sevate ’smān
dharmārtha-kāma-gatayaḥ samaya-pratīkṣāḥ

Through his life he have got much experience. And shown as a sadhaka which way will get siddhi and after siddhi also what disturbance can come to him, and later which way he will cross over that life also and finally which way he will get the service to Krishna. Everything his life showing to us, Bilvamangal’s character.

And this sloka he expressed, “Oh Lord, if your devotion living little bit within us, then we are getting all the siddhis, all the perfections and all the good qualities, even liberation folded hand waiting for us for service and this is the glories of your devotion.” I cannot express the sloka meanings, no doubt, but substance is this. Dharma, artha, kama, moksa, what is very essential for this mundane life and liberation. Everything waiting for us if we have the devotion for Krishna. But the devotee not taking that. Devotee avoiding that even the religion, even wealth, their desires and liberation, all keeping far from their practicing area, and they’re practicing exclusively Krishna Consciousness wholeheartedly. With full affectionate heart, devotional mood. And this is his final expression of that book. But he was a great pandit and too much qualified in sanskrit language. His another many slokas is very hard to translate and there is so much wealth of language.

māraḥ svayaṁ nu madhura-dyuti-maṇḍalaṁ nu
mādhuryam eva nu mano-nayanāmṛtaṁ nu
veṇī-mṛjo nu mama jīvita-vallabho nu
kṛṣṇo ’yam abhyudayate mama lochanāya

Like this slokas,

pallavāruṇa-pāṇi-paṅkaja saṅgi-veṇura-vākulaṁ
phulla-pāṭala pāṭalī parivādi-pādasaroruham
(ullasanmadhurādharadyuti-mañjarī-sarasānanaṁ
vallavī kucha-kumbha kuṅkuma paṅkilaṁ prabhumāśraye)
(Śrī Kṛṣṇa-karnāmṛtam 9)
phulla puṣkara viśvarotkala … pada-vallabham
daivatam braja-durllabhaṁ braja-vallabhī kula-vallabham

Like that very sound, metre, everything is very sweet, I not read actually that book, but I was proofreader that time when Guru Maharaj was publishing this book, that time I was very young 47, 48, I cannot remember 1947 or 1948, that time I was not pandit but copy holder, and Dr. Shastri was proofreader and that time through proofreading I memorised this whole book. But when time will come we can discuss about that devotional mood of the devotees, what is inside of the book of Sri Krishna-karnamritam, but no doubt it is extremely paramour devotional mood existing in that book. That Mahaprabhu taken two books and given in the hand of his devotee. And after getting that books all the devotees was very happy.

Mahaprabhu not composed any book, but when they have got from the hand of Sriman Mahaprabhu they was very happy. And all devotee taken copy of that book, now it is published, we also published that book but we are not distributing to everybody. Some qualified person when they are asking we are giving that book to them.

Actually qualification is the pure submission and devotion, unalloyed devotion, that is the qualification. And under guidance of some expert if we will read, we have no fear from sahajiyaism or anything. Otherwise we cannot understand and we will go to the garbage of sahajiyaism. For that it is restricted. But Brahma-samhita it is very nice book for everyone. Anyone can read this book and Srila Swami Maharaj I know, he organised Brahma-samhita very widely.

When I was in Hawaii, first time and in America and other country, I have seen, many devotee they memorised the Brahma-samhita and they knows better than me that Brahma-samhita.

chintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa-
lakṣāvṛteṣu surabhīr abhipālayantam
lakṣmī-sahasra-śata-sambhrama-sevyamānaṁ
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi
(Brahma-saṁhitā 5.29)

Very nice sweet sloka

ālola-chandraka-lasad-vanamālya-vaṁśī-
ratnāṅgadaṁ praṇaya-keli-kalā-vilāsam
śyāmaṁ tri-bhaṅga-lalitaṁ niyata-prakāśaṁ
(Brahma-saṁhitā 5.31)
This is govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi.

Ālola-chandraka-lasad, his garland, there was one jewel, there was the flower garland vanamala, collected from the jungle, forest of Vrindavan, so many nice nice flowers and gopis are making garland for their dearmost lover, Lord and they’re putting some chandraka, chandraka means the mayura the peacock’s feather as a locket chandraka-lasad-vanamālya-vaṁśī…

“Ratnāṅgadaṁ praṇaya-keli-kalā-vilāsam, śyāmaṁ tri-bhaṅga-lalitaṁ niyata-prakāśaṁ”. He always effulgent his manifestation, everywhere. And he have the flute, that is his weapon. He can attract to everyone through the sound of flute, vamsi-dhvani. Rupa Goswami Prabhu and other goswamis also and many where it is expressed, vamsi-dhvani, power of vamsi-dhvani is the original of all the mantram, Guru Maharaj said. You have seen our logo of Chaitanya Saraswat Math, I putted there, that, Guru Maharaj’s expression about vamsi-dhvani,

That’s coming from the flute of Krishna. Our temple also when finished, then I proposed to Guru Maharaj, we can put there vamsi in the top and Guru Maharaj happily accepted and there is chakra and middle there one vamsi we putted. After that many Math, they taken the symbol, but first symbol come out from Guru Maharaj’s Math.

Two things Guru Maharaj given it’s nowhere the express like this in the scriptures. Only we heard from Guru Maharaj, Srila Jiva Goswami given that type of something idea. But where is that Guru Maharaj also cannot trace it. He heard... but later he himself compose it and given to everybody. And everyone is very happy to hear that.

Actually first when we will give sound to our flute, first sound come om, and that’s come out from vamsi-dhvani. And inside of the om, everything. And that manifestation several way, santa, dasya, sakhya, vatsalya and madhura-rasa, that five kind of relationship with our lord. And who is existing in that plane he is getting good nourishment through that sound of vamsi.

yaśoda śunaiya vāṇī nani demā bale
haila goṣṭhera belā śunaiyera kāle

Mother Yasoda hearing that flute sound, Oh mother I am very hungry, give me food. Give me the butter. He was very attached with butter and their churning the butter and Krishna stealing that. That sloka also of Mahaprabhu’s composition someone Guru Maharaj given that sloka also in Prapanna-jivanamritam is it?

dadhi-mathana-ninādais tyakta-nidraḥ prabhāte
nibhṛta-padam agāraṁ ballavīnāṁ praviṣṭaḥ
mukha-kamala-samīrair āśu nirvāpya dīpān
kavalita-navanītaḥ pātu māṁ bāla-kṛṣṇaḥ
(Śrī Padyāvalī 143)

That child Krishna save us, what kind of child Krishna? Churning sound of the yoghurt and gopis are collecting from there some butter and keeping in a pot and sound given, waken up. He wake up hearing the sound of churning and immediate his nature for stealing. You will give him, that is no value.

Also we relish this. If we have 5 paise or 10 paise and Guru Maharaj do not know that, that is real paise for me. And Guru Maharaj may give one rupee or 5 rupees, that is not my paise, that is Guru Maharaj’s money and anyway we will give account, but we are always conscious, this is Guru Maharaj’s money. But if we have 5 paise, that is our 5 paise, we can use it as our own satisfaction. And Guru Maharaj relishing with that.

Anyhow, Krishna wake up and immediate thinking which way I shall steal the butter? And nibhṛta-padam agāraṁ ballavīnāṁ praviṣṭaḥ, and he have some nupur, ankle bells and ankle bells sound giving, and taken in one hand the ankle bell and going this way, and there was some candle and through his mouth, air... he is blowing out that candle and dark come immediate, dark come and in the meantime he taken the butter from that pot, and ran away.

That Krishna give nourishment to us. This is the prayer of this sloka.
Dadhi-mathana-ninādais tyakta-nidraḥ prabhāte, nibhṛta-padam agāraṁ very slowly, and wisely not sound will come through ankle bell, ballavīnāṁ where gopi, they’re churning went and suddenly blow air to light and light gone off and taken the makhon, the butter and gone away. And gopis thinking, “Oh the wind come and make dark, but that was the nature of Krishna.” This sloka also composed by Mahaprabhu.

“Nibhṛta-padam agāraṁ ballavīnāṁ praviṣṭaḥ, mukha-kamala-samīrair āśu nirvāpya dīpān, kavalita-navanītaḥ pātu māṁ bāla-kṛṣṇaḥ,” That Bala Krishna, the child Krishna save us, this is the meanings.

Govinda his flute always with him, when he is sleeping that time also keeping flute with him. And flute’s have varieties of size also. It’s given by Rupa Goswami Prabhu, some is venu, some is murali, name different type of name and their size, everything given. That Krishna’s Pastime is so madhura, sweet. Sweeter that sweet. And Brahma-samhita given that Pastimes something something. And what given that I think so sufficient. Not necessary to give more, this is sufficient. If you are enlightened with that consciousness, that knowledge, you must get everything through Brahma-samhita. Only 26 slokas, is it Maharaj? 62, total is 62, and 26 is that stava, that Brahma-stava 26 slokas. And there all whole of the transcendental universe of Krsihna what called Goloka, Vrindavan, Svetadwip, Vaikuntha everything included there. And expression of Goloka Vrindavan more sweeter in Brahma-samhita we can see, but very gist form

śriyaḥ kāntāḥ kāntaḥ parama-puruṣaḥ kalpa-taravo
drumā bhūmiś chintāmaṇi-gaṇa-mayi toyam amṛtam
kathā gānaṁ nāṭyaṁ gamanam api vaṁśī priya-sakhi
(Brahma-saṁhitā 5.56)

This way expression we can see: śriyaḥ kāntāḥ – all the dear gopis they are all like Laksmi-devi, powerful. But that power you cannot see in their behaviour or only their beauty showing that. Śriyaḥ kāntāḥ, Mahalaksmi she is so beautiful no doubt, all the wealth within her and all the gopis like that beautiful. Śriyaḥ kāntāḥ kāntaḥ parama, but Krishna is enjoyer there. Everyone serving Krishna there with five kinds of ecstasy, mood of ecstasy, devotional mood of ecstasy, five kinds of devotional mood of ecstasy, they are all serving Krishna, Mother Yasoda, Father Nanda Maharaj, all serving Krishna, the boys friends serving, girl friends serving, they all of Krishna, from junior to senior, everyone serving Krishna. Even brahmins are there in Vrindavan, they’re whole family attracted by Krishna’s flute and Krishna’s beauty and they join in the service to Krishna, they shown that yajna-patni Pastimes of Krishna that lila.

Kāntaḥ parama-puruṣaḥ, he is the enjoyer, playing with the vraja-balaka, playing with cowherd boy, they’re sometimes they’re defeating Krishna and sometimes Krishna defeating them but all like same same position, here Krishna is not crossing the mood of devotion of the cowherd boy, as equals they’re eating the fruits, jungle there so many fruits, nice nice eating the fruits and thinking this is best and tasting and giving to the Krishna. Krishna eating from their hand, we are thinking it is remnants, but not it is remnants, they’re love. What Krishna eating? Krishna eating love. In Srimad Bhagavad-gita Krishna said,

patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ
yo me bhaktyā prayacchati
tad ahaṁ bhakty-upahṛtam
aśnāmi (prayatātmanaḥ)
(Bhagavad-gītā 9.26)

I am eating patraṁ maybe, that’s I am eating puṣpam, phalaṁ toyaṁ he is eating, that is he have no stomach problem at least, then everything he can digest, but necessary to give with full devotional mood, with full devotion, bhaktyā prayachati. with full devotion, what they are giving he is eating himself.

Then vraja-balaka, vraja-gopis they are cooking for Krishna they are making many things for Krishna, all Krishna is the centre of their life and they are worshipping Krishna as their friend, worshipping Krishna as their lover, worshipping Krishna as their son. Krishna’s honour there always with full affection and affection is the honour for Krishna. There is no chair no simhasan nothing else. Their whole honour merged into the affection and through whole affection they’re worshipping their lord. Santa, dasya, sakhya, vatsalya and madhura-rasa and there also for full happiness and full risk of their society life, social life, they’re also enjoyer the paramour lover as paramour lover is Krishna.

Then when I heard this word in english, ‘everything belongs to Krishna’. Hearing I was very happy. Our conception which way very sweet and very simply manifested through our guru. If we are attached really with the Pastimes of Krishna, we must get entrance there happily. This is the Pastimes of Krishna showing in the scriptures also.

śuno, he rasika jon, kṛṣṇa guṇa agaṇon
ananta kohite nāhi pāre
kṛṣṇa jagatera guru, kṛṣṇa vāñchākalpataru
nāviko se bhava-pārābāre
hṛdoya pīḍita jā’ra, kṛṣṇa chikitsaka tā’ra
bhava roga nāśite chatura
(Guṇa-kīrttan 1-2)

Everything pastimes of Krishna, if we have some attachment with that, more and more it will increase. It not will decrease any way. But if we are sincere and really we want that, we must get it. But not everywhere it is possible to get. Rupa Goswami Prabhu said it,

kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvitā matiḥ
krīyatāṁ yadi kuto ‘pi labhyate
(Padyāvalī 14)

This type of devotional attachment, mental attachment if anywhere you will see, you must take his association and go to him, give you everything and purchase that attachment from him. It’s not very easy to get in this mundane, it is very rare. But that is real life, then you don’t hesitate for that. One homeopathic doctor said me, “If you get Dr. Chandrasekhara Kali’s book anywhere, if you have no money, you purchase with your wristwatch!” One doctor said, when I am studying homeopathy, that time he told, “This book is very nice book, Maharaj, if you see somewhere it is very rare.” And that time I remember the kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvitā like that, krīyatāṁ yadi kuto ‘pi labhyate any cost, by any cost and that’s called attachment to Krishna. And Krishna’s quality like that. Krishna this word, showing that quality. He is attracting all whole and giving joy to everyone. Attracting and giving the joy, this is nature of Krishna.

Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ, when Brahma-samhita said good and full nourishment you will get through that sloka, full nourishment, only this word, using the word, who knows little sanskrit little bengali also I can say, he will feel good nourishment through that. All word particularly showing some glories of Krishna.

Śriyaḥ kāntāḥ kāntaḥ parama-puruṣaḥ, all the trees in Vrindavan wishing tree. If you want to banana tree, you need one glass of water, and if you see the banana tree, he will give you water. Not only fruit, everything can give, wishing tree. By the desire of Krishna, everything ready for you. When Krishna stayed in the night, that night also davanal come, forest fire come, and Krishna drank the fire, no one can understand which way it is possible. Also many rishis have that type of power. Agastya rishi, like that, very powerful rishi, he wish he can drink the whole ocean, that type of powerful rishi. and everyone very much fearful to see their power. Then all, even the mountain, Brinda-parvat he was disciple of Agastya rishi, when he’s obstructing the sunray, he was so high, Binda-parvat, it is in the South India there is Binda-parvat, Bindachal and people was very sick, that is they’re not getting the sunray. They pray to Agastya rishi, “Binda is powerful and through your power he is doing this, he is obstruct the sun and all the plants going die. You arrange please.”

And Agastya said Is it, then he went to Bindachal, and Binda taking form, obeisance bow down panchanga dandavat and Agastya said, “Stay like this. Until coming back.” Then he cross the Bindachal until I coming back, I return you must stay like this. And for that, it is little disturbing the jyoti-sastri, who is following jyoti-sastra, he is not going the first day of that month. Somebody telling it is bhadra month, month of bhadra in bengali, then somebody do not know which month, then avoiding all months, first day of month, they’re not going anywhere. And they’re telling it is Agastya-yatra. Once Agastya gone and not come back. Then if we go somewhere, may not come back, that fearful there. Like that. The power wish-fulfilling tree we are telling. They all the druma is like kalpataru. What they want they will give you. But Vraja-gopis and Vraja-balaka and Vrindavan-basi, all the residents of Vrindavan, they are not collecting that way anything. they’re collection through their own energy and capacity and showing that we are capable to do. When Krishna taken Govardhan in his left hand and Vraja-balaka thinking, “Oh Krishna cannot alone do that, then we are also helping Krishna and they taken some bamboo or something... very simple-hearted, they are seeing the aisvarya, majesty, they are not thinking he is aisvarya-vana, Godly power, they are seeing but they are not believing that. He have some power, more power maybe, but as we are like us.

Drumā bhūmiś chintāmaṇi and all the earth of Vrindavan, transcendental earth and giving as required for the cows for the cowherd boys, for the gopis, for the cowman everything is ready to give. Maṇi-gaṇa-mayī toyam amṛtam, water like nectar, kathā gānaṁ, their talking like singing, nāṭyaṁ gamanam api, and walking that is dancing style walking, vaṁśī priya-sakhī and communication not email there. More than email, sound of vaṁśī communicating with all the environment, all the living entity in Vrindavan communicating. One sound communicating everyone and different kind of mood, different kind of relation different kind of message appropriate to that relationship, communicating that vaṁśī priya-sakhī. Chid-ānandaṁ jyotiḥ, light giving full nourishment to everyone, not burning, and jyotiḥ param api tad āsvādyam api cha, and who can taste it who is the very dear and exclusive devotee of Krishna, he can see everything like this and can taste like this.

This is the mood of Goloka Vrindavan and it’s very nicely manifested in Brahma-samhita. And if you try to read Brahma-samhita we already published Brahma-samhita and there is behind there is one history, Srila Guru Maharaj, I am asking one question always to Guru Maharaj and he is giving answer and I am forgetting answer. My memory not weak, not was weak but that point was very critical and very strong point. And every time I am forgetting. Later when I am discussing, mentally discussing and I am forgetting that clue, then Guru Maharaj told, “You not read Brahma-samhita?” I told, “No Maharaj, i not read Brahma-samhita. I know so many slokas of Brahma-samhita but I not read it.” Hearing from Guru Maharaj I memorised then i know, so many slokas I know. But not reading. After reading it’s come to me. Then Guru Maharaj said, You read Brahma-samhita, then that sloka you will see what given there then you will be steady with your memory.

Then I read that and I was stunned or something, astonished to see that. How sweet this book and we are publishing so many things and not publishing the Brahma-samhita. then we published that book Brahma-samhita. Now it is, everyone can read. If you read it, little hard no doubt, to read little hard but with your submissive mood of devotion, you must get the good nourishment about your spiritual life, if you read that Brahma-samhita. Very short book, but everything explained there very nice and firmly.  

This is the character of Krishna given Brahma himself, who is our Guru of sampradaya. Krishna given mantram to Brahma for creation of this world, but only, not only the property of that mantram, not only creative property, there is whole property of love, beauty, charm, everything you will get through that mantram, and that is Krishna himself existing within Krishna that.

sarvādbhuta-chamatkāra-līlā-kallola-vāridhiḥ
atulya-madhura-prema-maṇḍita-priya-maṇḍalaḥ
tri-jagan-mānasākarṣi-muralī-kala-kūjitaḥ
asamānordhva-rūpa-śrī-vismāpita-charācharaḥ
(Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu)

This is the character of Krishna. You not will see anywhere this character of Krishna. Krishna when in Kuruksetra there also you will not see, when Krishna in Dvaraka there also you will not see, this the effulgence of his divine ecstatic form everywhere, but not like this. And Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami said, in Chaitanya-charitamrita,

kṛṣṇera yateka khelā, sarvottama nara-līlā,
nara-vapu tāhāra svarūpa
gopa-veśa, veṇu-kara, nava-kiśora, naṭa-vara,
nara-līlāra haya anurūpa
(Chaitanya-charitāmṛta, Madhya 21.101)

Actually he is a cowherd boy. That is his full fledged form in Goloka Vrindavan and that is the highest form of Krishna, who is the power and powerful combinedly playing there in Vrindavan. And that Krishna is very sweet way manifested in the form of Govinda in front of the Brahma. Brahma initiated and he have seen the glories, he have seen full manifestation of Krishna-lila and through that he glorified Krishna in Brahma-samhita. Very nice. All the sloka is very sweet and very authentic, and I can say through this book, whole philosophy in Gaudiya Vaisnavism we can taste.

Not necessary to read anything. And if wants to know more and more then you read Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita. Then you will understand what is the philosophy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu given in this mundane world and his devotee given in this mundane world. But gist form you will see, all siddhanta, all manifestation of transcendental world, mundane world, everything is there. And that sweet and authentic book brought Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu himself from South India and name of that Govinda is Govinda Dham, it is very nice. And day after tomorrow we are going to see the manifestation here, the Radha-Krishna, combined form of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. As Nimai, as Gaurasundar.

Jaya Oṁ Viṣṇupad Śrīla Bhakti Rakṣak Śrīdhar Dev-Goswāmī Mahārāj ki jaya!
