PURPORT

We have many things to learn about bhajana, or worship of the Lord, by follow-
ing in the footsteps of Raghunatha dasa Gosvami. All the Gosvamis engaged in such
transcendental activities, as described by Srinivasa Acarya in his poem about them
(krsnotkirtana-gana-nartana-parau premamrtambho-nidhi). Following in the foot-
steps of Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, Srila Ripa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami, one
has to execute devotional service very strictly, specifically by chanting the holy
name of the Lord.
