Upah.

Vana. Namo brāhmaṇa.

Sam. Nam. Ram. Ram d. Sam. Ram.

Acharya. Here is glorifying the Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, being decorated with the flower garland, wearing the yellow garments and having stolen the Purijata flower from the heavenly planets, having lifted up the Govardhan hill and being the life and soul of all of the cow herders of Vrindavan, having four hands and carrying the Sudarshan chakra, the Khwan shell lotus flower and the club. The beloved son of Devikhinanda, the beloved.

Son of Nanda, Mahārāja.

Kṛṣṇa, the supreme personality of Godhead, who is a friend of all the Brahmanas, protector of the fallen and who is very merciful to the cows, the senses and to the land. He’s offering his obeisances to that supreme personality of Godhead, Bhagavān, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. So we should take this opportunity of remembering the transcendental pastimes of the Lord. The Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, when he appeared.

On the lap of his mother Jasoda and Vrindavana when he killed the Putana demon by sucking the life from her.

Breast, or when he was lifting the.

Govardhan hill, or dancing in the Rasa Leela, or speaking the Bhagavad Gītā on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, at every stage in his life he was transcendentally situated,.

The supreme personality of Godhead.

But he is so kind that out of his own transcendental potency he has come down on the this earth to benedict us, to show us his transcendental pastimes. So we may be attracted. Why are we rotting in this material world, attached to our temporary body, our temporary relatives, our temporary attachments of materialistic society? When we should be attached, like Muddarcharya and the great devotees, to the transcendental qualities of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa means all attractive. And if we allow ourselves to be attracted by hearing of his qualities and his transcendental pastimes, then we will be taken out of this material world of.

Birth and death and returned into his.

Eternal service, which is the highest goal of life is to have pure love for Kṛṣṇa and to engage in his loving devotion.

Jayadev, Goswami, Manju Tara Ashtupada has also been sung.

Jayadev is also directing the listeners to.

Focus their mind on the transcendental qualities of Kṛṣṇa. By allowing our natural flow of love to go to Kṛṣṇa that is the perfection of life. That is the ultimate happiness. And when we allow this affection to go other places, then we are misusing our affection.

And as a result of that, we.

Are forced to suffer in so many ways. So if we follow in the footsteps of these great devotees who have achieved permanent happiness, then we will allow our minds to simply be attracted by these.

Transcendental qualities of Kṛṣṇa. And therefore we will say Jai, Rādhā Kṛṣṇa Glories to their transcendental pastimes and qualities.
