Topic: Iskcon Nagpur (IVCC)
HH Lokanath Swami Maharaj:

Hare Krishna!
Keep chanting.
Jnyaneshwar said, “say Hari Hari”.

There is so much peace. We are in Nagpur in IVCC (Iskcon/ International Vedic Cultural Centre). We are here seeing the construction work. It’s a houseful here. There will prasadam also after this Japa Talk. But the zoom attendees could not honour prasadam. This is the only drawback of zoom.

Nectar Of Instruction, 4:
dadāti pratigṛhṇāti
guhyam ākhyāti pṛcchati
bhuṅkte bhojayate caiva
ṣaḍ-vidhaṁ prīti-lakṣaṇam

Translation:
Offering gifts in charity, accepting charitable gifts, revealing one’s mind in confidence, inquiring confidentially, accepting prasāda and offering prasāda are the six symptoms of love shared by one devotee and another.

Ekant or being alone is being with Krishna only. His phone number is of 16 words, this mahamantra. No one has such the largest contact number. By this we can assume that only God can have such a number. when we call, we address someone and then we get response. Addressing means calling out ‘Oh Radhe!’. This language is a very big benefit to us. All our thoughts, culture is in this language.
Do you want be cultured and civilized?

But now a days we find highly educated least cultured people. In the mahamantra, there are 16 names and how many letters? “32”.
You should say that quickly. That is the effect of Kaliyuga. Everyone is slower, Mandah.
Now a days, mobile phones are starts but people are not. Devotees must be smart one.

kṛṣṇa yei bhajei sei hayata catur
māyā jei bhaje sei hayata phatur

Translation:
Those who worship Krsna are indeed the wise. Those who worship māyā are indeed poverty-stricken.
Who worships Krishna is very intelligent. When we chant, we call the lord. We talk to him and another understanding is that lord answers, not that some one else answers. He takes it very seriously. He responds in different ways. Whatever we pray when we chant or do kirtan.
If our chanting is full of offenses the lord is pleased that you are chanting. But how much he is pleased depends upon how we chant. When we chant lord is pleased, if we do kirtan, He is more pleases, and if its Nagar kirtan, it’s even more.
When we chant, we chant for our self. Some benefitted and it is also in a way selfish.

ŚB 7.5.31:
na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇuṁ
durāśayā ye bahir-artha-māninaḥ
andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānās
te ’pīśa-tantryām uru-dāmni baddhāḥ

Translation:
Persons who are strongly entrapped by the consciousness of enjoying material life, and who have therefore accepted as their leader or guru a similar blind man attached to external sense objects, cannot understand that the goal of life is to return home, back to Godhead, and engage in the service of Lord Viṣṇu. As blind men guided by another blind man miss the right path and fall into a ditch, materially attached men led by another materially attached man are bound by the ropes of fruitive labor, which are made of very strong cords, and they continue again and again in materialistic life, suffering the threefold miseries.
Prahlad Maharaj said, people don’t know how to be really selfish. We think our body as self, our mind as self. Ātmavat manyate jagat. “Everyone thinks others like himself.”

Bg. 3.27:
prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni
guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ
ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā
kartāham iti manyate

Translation:
The spirit soul bewildered by the influence of false ego thinks himself the doer of activities that are in actuality carried out by the three modes of material nature.
A survey was raised that which word is repeated by people. The word was: Me and mine.
Those who are intelligent they know that the self is the soul. For it we don’t do anything. We do for others. This body is others. So, when we chant, we desire the lord.

ŚB 11.5.32:
kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ
sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam
yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ

Translation:
In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.

Lord is more pleased with our kirtan than our japa. Who wants us to get the Lord back? The lord wants us more than we want Him. He is sitting in our heart and waiting for us with this desire. When the child is sad the parents are first to be sad. The parent of the soul is God. If the child is lost of in a foreign land, they may forget, but the parents never forget. So, we can understand God, and His feeling by our own experiences. We are revolving in this cycle of birth, death, old age, and disease. Does he not know this? He knows, we are in this world of misery. He has made it. So, he knows it.

Vithu maza lekurwala sange gopalancha mela

My Vithala is a family man and he has many relations. We see the painting where the lord is seen, holding his devotees like kids. We all are children of the Lord. Modern science says that we evolved from amoeba that evolved into apes and then humans.
There was no amoeba, the very first one is Vithoba. Then Swayam bhu came from Vithoba. But Vedas says that from God came brahma and from him, he created 8400000 species all together. So, we are not coming from apes, but from Krishna. So much misinformation is spread in the world!
if Gaura had not come what would have happened? How would we live this life?

(yadi) gaura nā hoito, tabe ki hoito,
kemane dharita de?
rādhāra mahimā, prema-rasa-sīmā,
jagate jānāta ke

Translation:
If Lord Gaura had not appeared as the yuga-avatara in this age of Kali, then what would have become of us? How could we have tolerated living? Who in this universe would have ever learned about the topmost limits of loving mellows that comprise the glory of Sri Radha?
Her love is limitless, shore less ocean.

CC Antya 20.12:
ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇaṁ
śreyaḥ-kairava-candrikā-vitaraṇaṁ vidyā-vadhū-jīvanam
ānandāmbudhi-vardhanaṁ prati-padaṁ pūrṇāmṛtāsvādanaṁ
sarvātma-snapanaṁ paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam

Translation:
Let there be all victory for the chanting of the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa, which can cleanse the mirror of the heart and stop the miseries of the blazing fire of material existence. That chanting is the waxing moon that spreads the white lotus of good fortune for all living entities. It is the life and soul of all education. The chanting of the holy name of Kṛṣṇa expands the blissful ocean of transcendental life. It gives a cooling effect to everyone and enables one to taste full nectar at every step.
Gaura got that ocean of love and spread it all over the world starting from Mayapur.

avatīrṇe gaura-candre vistīrṇe prema-sāgare
suprakāśita-ratnaughe yo dīno dīna eva saḥ

Translation:
The advent of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu is just like an expanding ocean of nectar. One who does not collect the valuable jewels within this ocean is certainly the poorest of the poor.

Then many preachers took it out from Mayapur, like channels or canals taking the ocean of love, like it has reached Nagpur today. The goal is to take it to every town and village. Srila Prabhupada said to padayatra so. Not just town and village, but even in between. This is Srila Prabhupada’s mercy on his centennial, we did Padayatra in 100 countries in 1984. We celebrated 40 years of padayatra, 300000 kilometres, 8 circumambulations of the entire earth.

I went to the US in 1978, and I saw for the first time, an ambulance. I thought we are 100 years behind, when Prabhupada had gone there. He saw hippies now all that has come here. When I saw the disease stats I understood where there is enjoyment, disease will come.
Stop being Indians be Bharatiya. Bha means light. One name of sun is Bhaskar means one who gives light. One who is immersed in light is Bha -rat. Our Vedas say go from darkness to light, what going to light? Going to the source of all knowledge and light, that is God.
Srila Prabhupada preached this Krsna Consciousness. He recognized true Bharat and put it on the world map.

India was seen as a beggar’s country. Because every time an Indian came to the west, it was always to take something higher education. They don’t even know that the highest knowledge is spiritual knowledge.

When Prabhupada was asked by a UK reporter, why have you come to our country? He replied: you all came to my country, and looted all the valuables, not just diamonds but even coals, silk, cotton etc. I have not come to take but to give the wealth of my country: The Bhagavad Gita as it is, my culture and the Holy Name.

Hare Krishna Hafe Krishgna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Today the whole world is benefiting from his contribution, his culture, books, mahamantra, prasad. What is he give to us?
He gave Krishna in our life. Srila Prabhupada gave us Krishna in pour lives. There is a lack of Krishna. We should understand that. So, we should get Krishna and share it to others. You are all capable to give Krishna. So, realise Krishna every day and distribute him. Take it yourself and give it to others.

Srila Prabhupada said, “I could have preached from under a tree, but who would come there? So, I should make a place where people will be attracted,” and so, he made temples.

Srila Prabhupada was asked in 1977, Kumbhamela, “Why are you building more temples, there are so many temples already?”
Prabhupada asked, “who is this with you?”, “my wife and my son” he replied.

Prabhupada said there are many children in the world why you need one more child. He said this is my child. So, there are many temples but this is my temple.

So, you all are helping in building this new temple. The progress is very good. Add more people to this project.

ŚB 10.22.35:
etāvaj janma-sāphalyaṁ
dehinām iha dehiṣu
prāṇair arthair dhiyā vācā
śreya-ācaraṇaṁ sadā

Translation:
It is the duty of every living being to perform welfare activities for the benefit of others with his life, wealth, intelligence and words.
Vaishnava Song by Bhakti Vinod Thakur:

mānasa, deho, geho, jo kichu mor
arpilū tuwā pade, nanda-kiśor!

Translation:
Mind, body, and family, whatever may be mine, I have surrendered at Your lotus feet, O youthful son of Nanda!
We can help with our life, our money, our intelligence, and our words. This is Prabhupada’s desire. Are you all ready to fulfil it?
Hari Bol!
Hare Krishna!

Main Theme: “Service of the Manjaris and Contemplation on Divine Mellow (Rasa).”
Sub-Theme: Process of Chanting with intensity

When we hear and then we follow whatever we have heard it gives knowledge and then when we apply it it is scientifically called “Vigyan”.
Or one can say While chanting you go deep in meditation as it is said “sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam” while chanting we meditate on lord Vishnu that is krsna for us Gaudiya Vaishnavas. Srila Vishvanatha Charavarthi thakur in his commentary on the Vishnu Saharatranam, has written and proved that how each name of Vishnu is krsna’s name, we have to meditate and from that we develop love.
When we meditate or Chant, we remember, incase there is any person on place, you say now I remember, “re” – it means we knew him once or return where we have been before so remembering what we have forgotten by remembering we develop love he is wonderful. In case we remember Krsna we start thinking about Him.

shri-radhika-madhavayor apara- madhurya-lila-guna-rupa-namnam
prati-kshanasvadana-lolupasya vande guroh shri-charanaravindam

Translation

The spiritual master is always eager to hear and chant about the unlimited conjugal pastimes of Radhika and Madhava, and Their qualities, names, and forms. The spiritual master aspires to relish these at every moment. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.[Guru Ashtakam Text 5 by Srila Vishvanatha Chakravarti Thakura

krsna is famous or distinguished for his conjugal pastimes prem Madhuri, lila Madhuri, venu Madhuri and rupa madhuri
This makes him stand apart from all other incarnations for example Lord Sri Ram and due to this he becomes more loveable. Then we feel we should love him this person is more lovely or sweet etc. Vallabhacharya mentions everything that is loveable about the lord eyes, heart, smile, form, walk etc

Sub-Theme: Remembering Sweetness of the Lord Sri Krsna

adharaṃ madhuraṃ vadanaṃ madhuraṃ nayanaṃ madhuraṃ hasitaṃ madhuram |
hṛdayaṃ madhuraṃ gamanaṃ madhuraṃ madhurādhipaterakhilaṃ madhuram

Translation

His lips are sweet, His face is sweet, His eyes are sweet, His smile is sweet, His loving heart is sweet, His gait (walk) is sweet, Everything is completely sweet about the Lord of Sweetness.[ Madhurashtakam Text 1 by Vallabhacharya]

vacanaṃ madhuraṃ caritaṃ madhuraṃ vasanaṃ madhuraṃ valitaṃ madhuram
calitaṃ madhuraṃ bhramitaṃ madhuraṃ madhurādhipaterakhilaṃ madhuram

Translation

His words are sweet, His character is sweet, His dress (garment) is sweet, His posture is sweet, His movements are sweet, His wandering (roaming) is sweet, Everything is completely sweet about the Lord of Sweetness. [ Madhurashtakam Text 2 by Vallabhacharya]
When we remember this all the soul wants to love Krsna is the object of love, he does not care for the beauty love of the world renunciation appears and he develops krsna focused love love for everything related to krsna, like his abode, devotees, associated etc. One becomes Krsna focused with His name, form, pastimes, abode and not only krshna but also His related associates or devotees. He starts loving each one of them When Lord Chaitanya mahaprabhu appeared.

rupa goswami said
namo mahā-vadānyāya
kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te
kṛṣṇāya kṛṣṇa-caitanya-
nāmne gaura-tviṣe namaḥ

Translation

“O most munificent incarnation! You are Kṛṣṇa Himself appearing as Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu. You have assumed the golden color of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, and You are widely distributing pure love of Kṛṣṇa. We offer our respectful obeisances unto You.
This love was not given by Chaitanya mahaprabhu alone the entire goloka Vrindavan appeared. Nawadwipa is hidden Vrindavan all the associates also appeared and together they made a joint effort to give this love of godhead to everyone. You can call it a team to deliver love of Godhead.

Srimati Radharani came also Nandababa who is jaganath Mishra, Yashoda as Sachi mata and 12 cowherd boys (Dwadhash Gopal) came too.

kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ
sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam
yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ

Translation

In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions. [SB ŚB 11.5.32]

All the associates who were practioners parental love, friendly mellow, Lalita appeared along with vishaka and the 8 sakhis (Ashta Sakhi’s), many gopis appeared to like group leaders.

Sub-Theme: Service and Mellows of Manjaris

Left winged right winged like this there are 5 types of gopis, manjaris have also appeared.

rādhā kṛṣṇa-praṇaya-vikṛtir hlādinī śaktir asmād
ekātmānāv api bhuvi purā deha-bhedaṁ gatau tau
caitanyākhyaṁ prakaṭam adhunā tad-dvayaṁ caikyam āptaṁ
rādhā-bhāva-dyuti-suvalitaṁ naumi kṛṣṇa-svarūpam

Translation

“The loving affairs of Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are transcendental manifestations of the Lord’s internal pleasure-giving potency. Although Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are one in Their identity, They separated Themselves eternally. Now these two transcendental identities have again united, in the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. I bow down to Him, who has manifested Himself with the sentiment and complexion of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī although He is Kṛṣṇa Himself.” [CC Adi 4.55]

The dealings of love between Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are displayed as the pleasure potency of the Lord.
The six goswamis- plus two i.e The eight Goswamis The eight famous goswamis of Vrindavan are: Rupa Goswami, Sanatana Goswami, Raghunatha Das Goswami, Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami, Gopala Bhatta Goswami, Jiva Goswami, Lokanatha Goswami, Krishnadas Kaviraja Goswami They are none other than the Asta Manjaris in Krishna lila

kṛṣṇotkīrtana-gāna-nartana-parau premāmṛtāmbho-nidhī
dhīrādhīra-jana-priyau priya-karau nirmatsarau pūjitau
śrī-caitanya-kṛpā-bharau bhuvi bhuvo bhārāvahantārakau
vande rūpa-sanātanau raghu-yugau śrī-jīva-gopālakau

Translation

I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six Gosvamis, namely Sri Rupa Gosvami, Sri Sanatana Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, who are always engaged in chanting the holy name of Krishna and dancing. They are just like the ocean of love of God, and they are popular both with the gentle and with the ruffians, because they are not envious of anyone. Whatever they do, they are all-pleasing to everyone, and they are fully blessed by Lord Caitanya. Thus they are engaged in missionary activities meant to deliver all the conditioned souls in the material universe.[ “Prayers to the Six Gosvamis” by Srinivasa Acarya]

8 gopis and 8 manjaris appeared they are male in their external form, cowherd boys also appeared they disclose the lord Krsna, who is personification of love

akhila-rasa-amṛta-mūrtiḥ — the reservoir of all pleasure, in which exist all the mellows of devotional service, namely śānta, dāsya, sakhya, vātsalya and mādhurya;

Kavi karnapura wrote Gaura Gannodadesha dipika where he explains a list of who played what character from the krsna lila to gaura lila
they all have distributed the love of godhead, by displaying it, relishing it, writing about it these were all confidential words and knowledge unknown to even brahma and shiva, what to speak of quran readers what to speak about them others out side gaudiyas also do not know this treasure.

śrī-caitanya-mano-‘bhīṣṭaṁsthāpitaṁ yena bhū-talesvayaṁ rūpaḥ kadā mahyaṁdadāti sva-padāntikam

Translation

When will Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī Prabhupāda, who has established within this material world the mission to fulfill the desire of Lord Caitanya, give me shelter under his lotus feet.

The leader of millions of manjaris is rupa manjari who appeared as rupa goswami and he was advised by lord Chaitanya to write about the mellows there are mostly books in 2 categories based on tattva or Philosophy or rasa – mellows
Most sampradayas writings are on philosophy but gaudiayas books are on different mellows. You see 5 rasa there and various more rasas as we go deeper where even the gopis are not allowed in the deepest of mellows the manjaris enter those groves and know those pastimes, so mahaprabhu brought it

dharma-sthāpana-hetu sādhura vyavahāra
purī-gosāñira ye ācaraṇa, sei dharma sāra

Translation

“A devotee’s behavior establishes the true purpose of religious principles. The behavior of Mādhavendra Purī Gosvāmī is the essence of such religious principles.” [CC Madhya 17.185]

Learn this verse you are all trying to be preacher, so you must make it a goal that your behavior should establish the true purpose of religious principles.

yāre dekha, tāre kaha ‘kṛṣṇa’-upadeśa
āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra’ ei deśa

Translation

“Instruct everyone to follow the orders of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa as they are given in the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. In this way become a spiritual master and try to liberate everyone in this land.” [CC Madhya 7.128 ]

Initially not much was happening then Srila prabhupada the Senapati bhakta prepared us as the army who follow mahaprabhu by
1 relishing this
2 distributing this

We as members of ISKCON we must continue what lord Chaitanya started as the Sankirtan movement. He said this sankirtan movement will be victorious, so we must do something and if we do we have the advance blessing of gaurang to be victorious.

cheto-darpana-marjanam bhava-maha-davagni-nirvapanam

anandambhdhi-vardhanam prati-padam purnamritasvadanam
sarvatma-snapanam param vijayate shri-krishna-sankirtanam

Translation

Glory to the Shri Krishna sankirtana (congregational chanting of the Lord’s holy names), which cleanses the heart of all the dust accumulated for years and extinguishes the fire of conditional life, of repeated birth and death. That sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious. [Sri Sri Shikshashtaka by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu Text 1]

anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau
samarpayitum unnatojjvala-rasāṁ sva-bhakti-śriyam
hariḥ puraṭa-sundara-dyuti-kadamba-sandīpitaḥ
sadā hṛdaya-kandare sphuratu vaḥ śacī-nandanaḥ

Translation

May the Supreme Lord who is known as the son of Śrīmatī Śacī-devī be transcendentally situated in the innermost chambers of your heart. Resplendent with the radiance of molten gold, He has appeared in the Age of Kali by His causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most sublime and radiant mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love. [CC Ādi 1.4]
hari hari! bifale janama gonainu

manushya-janama paiya, radha-krishna na bhajiya,
janiya suniya visha khainu

Translation

O Lord Hari I have spent my life uselessly. Having obtained a human birth and having net worshiped Radha and Krsna, I have knowingly drunk poison. [Hari Hari Bifale 1]

He came to this dead material desert, he saw not a drop of rasa, but people here are drinking poison everyday. Knowingly another point is there is no rules

nāmnām akāri bahudhā nija-sarva-śaktis
tatrārpitā niyamitaḥ smaraṇe na kālaḥ
etādṛśī tava kṛpā bhagavan mamāpi
durdaivam īdṛśam ihājani nānurāgaḥ

Translation

“ ‘My Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead, in Your holy name there is all good fortune for the living entity, and therefore You have many names, such as “Kṛṣṇa” and “Govinda,” by which You expand Yourself. You have invested all Your potencies in those names, and there are no hard and fast rules for remembering them. My dear Lord, although You bestow such mercy upon the fallen, conditioned souls by liberally teaching Your holy names, I am so unfortunate that I commit offenses while chanting the holy name, and therefore I do not achieve attachment for chanting.’ [CC Antya 20.16]

For yagyas or dhan, and other rituals in karma Kand followers there is specified time and place, if you do not do it accordingly then it might have an opposite effect as well. They are bound by rules and regulations, but we are lovers, there is no specified time to love, no one looks at the watch and loves or when should we love?

smartavyaḥ satataṁ viṣṇur
vismartavyo na jātucit
sarve vidhi-niṣedhāḥ syur

Translation

“ ‘Kṛṣṇa is the origin of Lord Viṣṇu. He should always be remembered and never forgotten at any time. All the rules and prohibitions mentioned in the śāstras should be the servants of these two principles.’ [CC Madhya 22.113]

Always love and never forget love there is only 2 conditions always love all the time. Never stop loving at anytime, this means, always be remembered and never forgotten at any time

teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ
bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam
dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ

Translation

To those who are constantly devoted to serving Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.. [Bg. 10.10

Devotional service must be unmotivated and uninterrupted to completely satisfy the self.

sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo
yato bhaktir adhokṣaje
ahaituky apratihatā
yayātmā suprasīdati

Translation

The supreme occupation [dharma] for all humanity is that by which men can attain to loving devotional service unto the transcendent Lord. Such devotional service must be unmotivated and uninterrupted to completely satisfy the self. [SB 1.2.6]

The ritualistic practices (karma-kanda) and intellectual pursuits (jnana-kanda), without devotion or spiritual realization, can bind one to the material world rather than liberating them.

Karma Kand Jnana-Kanda Keval Vishera Bhand

Translation

“”All rituals and knowledge are like poisonous bonds or pots.”

Hence it is recommended
satataṁ kīrtayanto māṁ
yatantaś ca dṛḍha-vratāḥ
namasyantaś ca māṁ bhaktyā
nitya-yuktā upāsate

Translation

Always chanting My glories, endeavoring with great determination, bowing down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me with devotion.[BG 9.14]

nāmnām akāri bahudhā nija-sarva-śaktis

Translation

“ ‘My Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead, in Your holy name there is all good fortune for the living entity, and therefore You have many names, such as “Kṛṣṇa” and “Govinda,” by which You expand Yourself.

The book by rupa goswami called BHakti Rasamrita sindhu, Srila prabhupada said it is science of Bhakti Yoga, or it is syllabus for Bhakti Shastri in VIHE or other institutes, it also includes Nectart of Instruction, Bhagavad Gita, Isoupanisad etc courses. BHakti Rasamrita sindhu gives details on dasiya rasa, Shakya rasa, vatsalya rasa and conjugal love. All these mellows are discussed here, then Rupa goswami. said I just hinted loving mellows, so he wrote one specific on conjugal mellows. The name of that book is Ujvala Nila mani. It gives details about loving mellows.

Rupa manjari has daily dealings with krsna so she is the most qualified to write this and you all have to become qualified to become student of this.

Srila prabhupada said bhagavad Gita is Graduation, Srimad Bhagavatam is Post Graduation then there are other books also.by Jiva Goswami and some other Gaudiya books by Narotam das thakura Like Prem Bhakti Chandrika , etc are all an ocean of love

avatirne gaurachandre
vistirne prema-sagare su-prakasita-ratnaughe
yo dino dina eva sah

Translation

“The advent of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is like an expanding ocean of nectar. One who does not collect the valuable jewels within that ocean is certainly the poorest of the poor.” [Sri Caitanya-candramrta]

It refers to divine pastimes of Chaitnaya Mahaprabhu and His ocean of love (prem sagar).

Mahaprabhu wrote on Sikastakam this is to His credit; he has also written Shivashtakam, when he was going to Jaganath puri on the way is a Nataraj Temple. It is all taugh in VIHE which is Vrindavan Institute for Higher Education. So reading all these gaudiya books higher studies post graduate is attained. Is it higher than your Biology, Chemistry etc. You go abroad for higher studies. But this is higher studies. Read Srila Prabhupada’s books and other Gaudiya Vaishnav Literature.
