Snippets Of Nectar

The maidservants of Sri Radha are the embodiments of seva-rasa, and they don’t know anything else but the service of the Divine Couple. Therefore the strong indomitable desire to become qualified to render different services awakens in the heart of Sri Raghunatha dasa, who is completely absorbed in his manjari-svarupa in this stotra. Sripada’s heart and mind are absorbed in the desire to serve the Yugala. In order to awaken these sacred desires the devotees take shelter of Vraja-dhama. Who can remain free from astonishment after seeing how the devotees become absorbed in the sweetness of Vraja-dhama as they are doing bhajana in Vrindavana, forgetting everything connected with their material bodies? Within this material world, that can be grasped by the senses, Vrindavana is a lovely luminary that astonishes everyone with its transcendental sweetness and beauty. The Gosvamis are illuminating the minds of all the practising devotees of the world with this transcendental light, and thus dispel the darkness of their ignorance and attract them to the kingdom of ecstatic love. They have rendered a great service to humanity by recording their intimate desires for bhajana in their verses.
