20240226 Question and Answer Session

mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-gurun dina tāriṇam
paramānanda-mādhavam śrī caitanya īśvaram
hariḥ oṁ tat sat

Jayapatākā Swami: Today, the OrgDev, they said they need a children minister. We want to have a children’s section. You (Gaurāṅgī Gāndharvikā) may be a minister, who knows!

Question: Gaurāṅgī Gāndharvikā devotional service dāsī: Do we have an eternal relationship in one of the five primary rasas, primary stāyī-bhāva with Mahāprabhu? Or do we have the same relationship with Lord Kṛṣṇa and Mahāprabhu?

Jayapatākā Swami: You see, we have such a relationship with Kṛṣṇa, and Lord Caitanya, He also has a conjugal relationship. Our relationship with Gaurāṅga maybe different because He is in the mood of a devotee. Our relationship with Gaurāṅga may be one kind and with Kṛṣṇa maybe another kind. Because with Gaurāṅga we are assisting Him, or we are His friend. And with Kṛṣṇa it could be another relationship. His friend, His parent, His lover.

Any other question?
