tees in conjugal love.” This gradual development of devotional service is described by
Sri Narottama dasa Thakura as follows:

gauranga balite habe pulaka Sarira
hari hari balite nayane ba’be nira
ara kabe nitaicanda karuna karibe’
sarnsara-vasana mora kabe tuccha habe
visaya chadiya kabe Suddha habe mana
kabe hama heraba Sri-vrndavana
rupa-raghunatha-pade ha-ibe akuti
kabe hama bujhaba $ri-yugala-piriti

“When will there be eruptions on my body as soon as | chant the name of Lord
Caitanya, and when will there be incessant torrents of tears as soon as | chant the
holy names Hare Krsna? When will Lord Nityananda be merciful toward me and free
me from all desires for material enjoyment? When will my mind be completely freed
from all contamination of desires for material pleasure? Only at that time will it be
possible for me to understand Vrndavana. Only if | become attached to the instruc-
tions given by the six Gosvamis headed by Rupa Gosvami and Raghunatha dasa Go-
svami will it be possible for me to understand the conjugal love of Radha and Krsna.”
By attachment to the devotional service of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu one immedi-
ately comes to the ecstatic position. When he develops his love for Nityananda
Prabhu he is freed from all attachment to the material world, and at that time he
becomes eligible to understand the Lord’s pastimes in Vrndavana. In that condition,
when one develops his love for the six Gosvamis, he can understand the conjugal love
between Radha and Krsna. These are the different stages of a pure devotee’s pro-
motion to conjugal love in the service of Radha and Krsna in an intimate relation-
ship with Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
