Path of Devotional love


A devotee should always, every moment, remember his soul relationship with Radha-Krishna and feel affinity. The more you remember, the closer you get to Them. 

You can even feel Their touch, fragrance or the perfume of the garland They are wearing. You should try to visualise in your imagination any leela of Braj, Vrindaban or Barsana where you are either an observer or participant in that leela. You can be very close to Radha Rani or Krishna in the leela or be in the crowd, as you prefer. 

Meditation means feeling the divine presence of Radha-Krishna. While remembering Radha-Krishna experience the love, affinity and longing for Radha-Krishna in your heart. You will then begin to feel Their presence. hile thinking of Their form think of Their full youthful form. 

During chanting it is easier to pay full attention to meditation and engross oneself in divine love feelings. The rhythm of the chant helps to develop emotional feelings, and the sound of the music protects the devotee from outer disturbances.

Bhakti is the selfless remembrance of Radha-Krishna. The practical and best way of Krishna devotion is to increase the longing for the vision of Radha-Krishna and to remember the divine relationship; meditate on the form and the leelas of Radha-Krishna affectionately. This meditation should be followed either by the continuous remembrance of the name of Radha-Krishna in the heart or the chanting, whatever one prefers or whatever suits one’s nature.
