Who is the Greatest Vaisnava Authority, And What Does He Teach? (Gadadhar Pran Das)

Another article from Gadadhar Pran Das Thakur, the foremost defender and promoter of Gauranga Mahaprabhu's nāgara-bhāva upāsanā in the English-speaking world to this day. In this article, he illustrates the authenticity of Gaura-kāntā bhāva on the authority of Advaita Acharya's Stavarāja, which glorifies Gauranga's every limb and the mood underlying it. There could be no higher authority than Advaita Acharya. Gadadhar concludes by defending the legitimacy of Gaura-nāgara bhāva in Ṭhākur Bhaktivinoda's line, that of Rāmacandra Goswami and Vamshivadanananda Thakur.

Krishna always tells Radha that he is merely a servant of the god of love, who is the real king of Vrindavan. And who are we? Servants of the goddess of love, the real queen of Vrindavan. How, indeed, will Love be served? Furthermore, the Guru of Vrindavan is a woman, Paurnamasi, who also serves Love and teaches God Himself service to Love. Strange, complex symbols. (12 years ago)
