“The nectar of the service of Sri Radha” – Verse quoted by Indradyumna Swami
“The nectar of the service of Sri Radha” – Verse quoted by Indradyumna Swami
His Holiness Indradyumna Swami will soon be traveling more and more on his various preaching missions. As Winter turns into Spring, he’ll begin a journey to the West again, visiting disciples and joining in festival programs all over. Indradyumna Swami commented last year that as the years go by, it is becoming more and more difficult for him to leave the transcendental abode of Vrindavan.
And yet, he wrote last year, leave we must, for it is the order of Srila Prabhupada that his followers share their good fortune all over the world. And it is that very service which qualifies us to come back to Vrindavan in due course of time.
As Indradyumna Swami left Vrindavan to begin his preaching activities in the west last year, he reflected on Srila Prabhupada’s austerity and then quoted one of his favorite verses from Srila Prabhodananda Sarasvati:
“One who is extremely fortunate may get the mercy of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. As much as one can devote his full attention to the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya, to that extent he will be able to taste the nectarine service of the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani in Vrindavan. The more one engages in the service of Sri Caitanya, the more one finds oneself in Vrindavan, tasting the nectar of the service of Sri Radha.”
[ Caitanya Candramrta, text 88 ]

Hare Krishna,
Thanks for sharing the realization of Srila Gurudeva: HH Srila Indradyumna Swami Maharaja: ” leave we must, for it is the order of Srila Prabhupada that his followers share their good fortune all over the world. And it is that very service which qualifies us to come back to Vrindavan in due course of time.”
Very deep message here that unless we make ourself qualified by rendering sincere devotional service to Supreme Lord one can’t get entrance in the abode of Lord: Sri Vrindavana Dham.
Thanks for relating this instruction to recent verse quoted by HH Srila Indradyumna Swami Maharaja, that as one renders more and more service to Lord Chaitanya in spreading His Sankirtan movement, then one will receive more and more mercy of Srimati Radharani.
Jaya Srila Prabhupada!
HH Srila Indradyumna Swami Maharaja ki Jaya!
