houses, doors, rivers, streams, forests, and courtyards are all completely spiritual and intensely attractive.
“That blissful place, transcendental to material nature, rests on Krsna’s inconceivable and supremely magnan- imous sandhini energy. By that energy the dhama has descended here in Nadia, for Krsna’s real desire is to deliver the living entities. Materialistic persons cannot enter the dhama, nor is there any material influence here. Maya has eternally covered the dhama with a film of dull matter. “Whoever makes a distinction between Gauranga and Krsna is contemptible and will never attain a relation- ship with Krsna. But, in the association of devotees, one who possesses the qualities beginning with humility will first worship Gauranga in dasya, or servitude re- lationship. This dasya-rasa is the highest mood in the worship of Gauranga. It is in that mood that the devo- tees call Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu. “One who is qualified in madhurya-rasa worships Gauranga in the form of Radha and Krsna. As Radha and Krsna have combined in one form as My Gauran- ga Raya, Their pastimes do not appear to be mani- fest in His form. When the worship of Gauranga in dasya-rasa reaches full maturity in the heart of the living entity, madhurya-rasa naturally develops in his heart. At that time one’s worship of Gaurahari quali- fies him to worship Radha and Krsna in Vrndavana. Gauranga then drowns the devotee in the nectar of Radha and Krsna’s eternal pastimes, which the devotee enters as he attains Vrndavana.”
