Taliks Between the lord and Rāmānanda Rāva

Vŗndāvana the consort if Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. In the spiritual body, free from material contamination, one can serve Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa and Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa. When one is thus spiritually situated, he no longer thinks of his own personal sense gratification. This spiritual body is called  siddha-deha , the body by which one can render transcendental service unto Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. The process is that of engaging the transcendental senses in loving devotional service. This verse specifically mentions,  sakhī-bhāve pāya rādhā-kṛṣṇera caraṇa : only transcendentally elevated persons in the mood of the  gopīs  can engage in the service of the lotus feet of Rādhā and Krṣna.

PURPORT
One can worship Lakşmī-Nārāyaṇa by the process of  vidhi-mārga , worshiping the Lord with regulative principles according to the instructions of the  śāstra  and the spiritual master. However, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, cannot be directly worshiped by this process. The dealings between Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa and the  gopīs  are devoid of the opulences of Lakşmī-Nārāyaṇa. The process of  vidhi-mārga , following the regulative principles, is utilized in the worship of Lakşmī-Nārāyaṇa, whereas the process of spontaneous service—following in the footsteps of the  gopīs , who are the denizens of Vṛndāvana—is transcendentally more advanced and is the process whereby Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are worshiped.
