Thought for the day

True happiness lies in realising the Self


From the book How the Sathya yuga is coming

“The Kali Yuga changing into the Sathya Yuga is making Prema’s power visible.  Your Prema is making God take birth.” Lord Krishna was not able to experience Radha’s Prema in full and could not fathom its depths. It is said that Sri Krishna was born as Sri Krishna Chaitanya to experience Radha’s Prema. He practiced the Madhura Bhakthi of Radha and forgot himself singing and dancing in divine love. Jayadeva and Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa attained the Mahabhava of Radha through sadhana. How much could they have known about Radha’s Prema when Sri Krishna Himself, who was born with sixteen divine attributes, could not fully experience it? Sri Krishna Chaitanya and Sri Ramakrishna practiced devotion like Radha, but no one can become Radha. Prema is the sole property of Radha. Sri Krishna Himself could not know the depth of Radha’s Prema.
