My heartly blessings, and so much thanks to those who have organized this gathering and festival. My heartly blessings to the preachers who came here to join this festival and teach you so many good things. My blessings to the cooking department, to those have served me in my book distributions, in chanting the holy name, in preaching here and there, and especially to those who served my Navadvipa project. I pray to the lotus feet of Sri Giriraja Govardhana, Sri Caitanya Maharaprabhu, Sri Nityananda prabhu and Sri Sri Radha Vinoda-bihari to sprinkle their mercy on all these devotees.
These days we have been discussing a very high topic. I know it is beyond your limit. It is beyond the limit of understanding for the neophyte devotees, but I am still telling it – for senior devotees. They should know this topic and preach.
You must remember that it is Srila Rupa Gosvami through whom we want to know ourselves and identify ourselves as rupanuga Vaisnavas, and that in the rupanuga line Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami is prominent. Both Rupa Gosvami and Raghunatha dasa Gosvami have written books to enter raganuga-bhakti. Srila Rupa Gosvami has written Sri Upadesamrta, so do not reject this book. And Srila Raghanatha dasa Gosvami has written Sri Mahah-Siksa.
In Sri Mahah-Siksa it is stated
yadiccher avasam vraja-bhuvi sa-ragam prati-janur
yuva-dvandvam tac cet paricaritum arad abhilaseh
svarupam sri rupam sa-ganam iha tasyagrajam api
sphutam premna nityam smara nama tada tvam srnu manah
