How is this possible, prabhu, that we have come from Radha Krsna lila? Srila Prabhupada writes in his books that a pure devotee cannot forget Krsna even for a moment: SB 1.5.19 PURPORT 'Pure devotional service is so spiritually relishable that a devotee becomes automatically uninterested in material enjoyment. That is the sign of perfection in progressive devotional service. A pure devotee continuously remembers the lotus feet of Lord Sri Krishna and does not forget Him even for a moment, not even in exchange for all the opulence of the three worlds.' Do you mean that one can take part in Radha Krsna lila in Goloka without being a pure devotee? Otherwise your conclusion conradicts the words of Srila Prabhupada. If it was as you are suggesting, then some day Krsna would tell Radha: it's too bad, too many devotees are leaving our pastimes therefore we should try to make it more attractive. ys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
