Concentrated Nectar – From a lecture by Indradyumna Swami

“Ter Kadamba is a very sacred place and it’s for that reason that one of the greatest acharyas in our disciples succession made this place, which was really a jungle in those days, as one of his places of bhajan. What does bhajan mean?

Hare Krsna Hare Krsna

Krsna Krsna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama

Rama Rama Hare Hare

22 hours a day! In a deeper sense, bhajan means that the pure Devotee is pouring his heart out to the Divine Couple, Radha and Krsna. And sometimes while doing so, like Jesus said, “My cup runneth over with love.” Sometimes the ecstatic symptoms of love of Godhead become manifest on the body of the pure Devotee. And this whole area became permeated with the bhava, or love, of Srila Rupa Goswami for the Divine Couple. And because it’s transcendental, it’s eternal. It’s still here. So as the ether, a very subtle element becomes contaminated by sin, similarly the ether becomes purified and becomes full of prema by the presence of the pure Devotee. So this here at Ter Kadamba is concentrated nectar.”
