Lecture series on Sri Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura's booklet "Raga Vartma Candrika," which explains the philosophical foundation and practice of raganuga-bhakti. A must for all raganuga-bhaktas who want to follow the process properly.
The Gopi’s happiness and suffering is not independent of Krishna. If Krishna is not suffering, then the Gopi’s are not suffering. If Krishna is happy, even in separation from them, the Gopis feel happy because Krishna is happy. Our problem is that our happiness and suffering is independent of Krishna and Guru. Therefore, we approach Guru with the unconscious desire that he can make us feel happy, not the other way around.
