Description
Questions on today's Swami call: Thank you for your kind mercy. Can you share something about the moods and bhavas of the wives of Sri Caitanya's associates? Is the Haridas Goswami you mentioned the same person that founded the Bankey Bihari temple in Vrindavan? Is it possible that what Haridas Goswami taught was about Sri Gauranga's relationship with his wives before taking sannyasa? In the madhya-lila of Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, there is an instance where Sri Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya offers food to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Mahaprabhu then comments that he hopes the food has been offered to Sri Krishna, as there are Tulasi flowers on it. If we are to worship our deities of Sri Sri Gaura Nityananada in the mood that they are pursuing, when we offer them food, would they prefer it to have been offered to Sri Krishna first? Is there a significance to the sequence of how the deities are placed on the altars at Srila Prabhupada's temple of Sri Sri Krishna-Balarama in Vrindavana? Do you think that people like Martin Luther would have heard about Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and been inspired by him in their work? It is said that Sri Gauranga appears in other Kali-yugas as Gaura Narayana rather than Gaura Krishna. What would be the purpose of such avataras? Do you have any thoughts on accepting money for religious services?
