Sri Narada Muni instructed his dear disciple, Sri Paurnamasi Yogamaya:
rddhā siddhi-vraja-vijayitā satya-dharmā samādhir
brahmānando gurur api camatkārayaty eva tāvat
yāvat premnām madhu-ripu-vaśī-kāra-siddhausadhīnām
gandho ’py antah-karana-saraṇī-pānthatām na prayāti
“Abundant mystical powers (siddhis), the sattvic brahminical perfections such as truthfulness, patience and tolerance, the samādhi (trance) of the yogīs and the bliss of liberation into the eternal light of Brahman, these are all causes of amazement as long as the slightest fragrance of the perfect medicinal herb of pure love (prema), which easily brings Śrī Krsna under one's control, has not become a wanderer upon the path of one's psyche."
How incomparably glorious is this unconditional love for Śrī Krsna!
So many beautiful Holy Days are approaching this Summer. It's of vital importance to observe these divine moments in vaisnava association and collect the profound transcendental impressions that impel us on our journey towards the eternal pastimes of Sri Krsna.
Chaitanya Academy Retreats provide a precious opportunity to become deeply absorbed in the nectar of Gaura-katha, Krsna-katha and Harinama-sankirtana in a supportive atmosphere without worldly distractions.
