Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Dear Devotees, Of the many glories of DAMODARA month, the most glorious is the appearance of RADHA-KUNDA ( The Lake of Radha ). In Sri Upadeshamrita, Srila Rupa Goswami wrote: " The holy place known as MATHURA is spiritually superior to VAIKUNTHA in the transcendental world because Lord KRSNA appeared in MATHURA. Superior to MATHURAPURI DHAM is the transcendental forest of VRNDAVANA because of KRSNA's rasa-lila pastimes. More superior to the forest of VRNDAVANA is the GOVARDANA-HILL, for it was raised by the divine hand of Sri KRSNA and it is the site of HIS various loving pastimes. Above all these the superexcellent RADHA-KUNDA stands supreme, for it is over flooded with ambrosial nectarean PREMA of the Lord of GOKULA, Sri KRSNA. Where then is that intelligent person who is unwilling to serve this divine RADHA-KUNDA , which is situated at the foot of GOVORDANA-HILL?" Piety is stratified, so please celebrate the most blessed event of the appearance of RADHA-KUNDA this coming Saturday the 18 October. To the best of my knowledge and information this pastime occurred at 11:45 P.M. ( Local Time ) on the eighth day of the waning moon in the auspicious month of KARTIKA or DAMODARA. May the flame of this pious month continue to shine in your aspiring Vaisnava heart! Your Servant, Ashokamrita. PS : Again, if anyone can post a copy of the Glories of RADHA-KUNDA, it will be very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
