Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja and the Gem of All Conceptions
This is a transcript of a class given by Śrīla Narasingha Mahārāja on Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja’s appearance day in Vṛndāvana at Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Dāmodara Temple on 12th October 2009. Narasingha Maharaja connects the appearance of Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja with Rādhā-kuṇḍa and talks about his contributions.
Śrī Lalitā Devī and Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī
In this talk given by Śrīla Śrīdhara Deva Gosvāmī Mahārāja on Lalitā Saptamī, 27th August 1982, he glorifies the unique position of Lalitā Devī by quoting the Lalitā Praṇāma Stotra of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī Prabhu and discusses what Mahāprabhu came to give to the world in the form of parakīya-bhāva.
Śrīyā Śuka
‘Śrīyā Śuka’ was written by Swami B.G. Narasingha on July 11th 2010. This article answers the question whether Śukadeva Gosvāmī was the parrot of Rādhārāṇī and what his actual position is. After writing this, Narasingha Mahārāja received a number of death threats from certain quarters, inspiring him to write a follow-up article, ‘Heresy, Inquisition, Jihad, Fatwa and the Hare Kṛṣṇas.’
The Definition of Faith
‘The Definition of Faith’ written by Gaura Gopāla Dāsa gives a clear description of faith, or śraddhā, as delineated by the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava śastra. Is faith an abstract construct of the mind or is it the halo of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī?
Rādhā-Pāda Darśana
‘Rādhā-Pāda Darśana’ was written by Swami B.G. Narasingha on November 6th 2009. In this article, Swami Narasingha describes the pastime of Subala Milana, when Rādhārāṇī dressed as Subala to meet Kṛṣna. Narasingha Maharaja also gives a deeper purport to this pastime.
The Appearance of Rādhā-kuṇḍa
In his illumination to the 11th verse of Rūpa Gosvāmī's Upadeśāmṛta, Śrīla Śrīdhara Deva Gosvāmī Mahārāja expresses how those in the line of Śrīla Sarasvatī Ṭhākura do not bathe in Śri Rādhā-kuṇḍa, considering it to be extremely high and non-different from Śrī Rādhā. He also explains how the personification of Rādhā-kuṇḍa and Śyāma-kuṇḍa are non-different from Śri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Gāyatrī as Rādhārāṇī
“Gāyatrī as Rādhārāṇī” was written by Śrīla B.G. Narasiṅgha Mahārāja in October 2003. Narasiṅgha Mahārāja briefly explains the Gāyatrī-Nigūḍhārtha composed by Śrīla Śridhara Mahārāja which shows how the brahma-gāyatrī ultimately refers to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī.
We Are Śuddha Śaktas
‘We Are Śuddha Śaktas’ is an article by Swami B.G. Narasingha, published on August 20th 2001, adapted from a class he gave in Boston on December 12th 2001. Swami Narasingha explains the various gurus of Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī, his position as the prayojana-ācārya, and how Gauḍīyas are śuddha Śaktas – worshippers of the Energy of Godhead.
My Guru is Rādhārāṇī
“My Guru is Rādhārāṇī'” was written by Swami B.G. Narasingha in January 2001. In this article, Narasingha Maharaja speaks about the internal rasa of his guru, Śrīla A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swami Prabhupāda based upon various statements by Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja, as well as indications in the life of His Divine Grace. This article was also included in the book, “Prabhupada Vijaya”.
