Ecstatic Waves of Navadvépa

at the feet of Lord Nåsiàha to purify my heart and give me the desire to serve Kåñëa. Weeping, I will beg at the lotus feet of Nåsiàha that I may worship Rädhä and Kåñëa in Navadvépa, free from all obstacles. When will that Lord Hari, who strikes fear in fear personified, be pleased and bestow His mercy on me? Although this form of the Lord is terrible for the evil, He is exceedingly auspicious for the devotees headed by Prahläda. When will He become pleased to mercifully speak to me, a worthless fool, and remove my fears? “Dear child, stay here happily in Gaura‑dhäma. Worship Rädhä and Kåñëa, and develop attraction for the holy name. By the mercy of My devotees, all obstacles are transcended. With a purified heart just worship Rädhä and Kåñëa, the abodes of sweet nectar.” After speaking in this way, when will that Lord joyfully place His feet upon my head?

Then very soon you will see the full wealth of Gauräìga’s pastimes. Seeing these pastimes, you will easily attain the pastimes of Rädhä and Kåñëa, thereby fulfilling all your desires. Godruma is nondifferent from Nandéçvara, home of Nanda Mahäräja and the cowherd men. Gauräìga performs various pastimes here. Having taken some milk products at a cowherd’s house, Nimäi would go and herd the cows with His gopa friends. The cowherd boys tell Nimäi, “O brother, You are a gopäla . Your form as a brähmaëa boy does not suit You. Come, I will
