Maha Vadanya Isvara Sri Gaura Sundara

The beautiful golden Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu, is the most merciful of all incarnations of Godhead. Lord Śrī Caitanya’s immortal nectarian instruction is sweeter than honey, and supreme.

“Those persons who have taken birth in the sacred land of Bharata (directly India or generally this planet) are to realize the teachings of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu and to help others achieve the perfection of life.”

To engage in relishing the nectar of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s confidential pastimes alone or amongst an intimate circle of devotees was Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s personal līlā, or transcendental pastime. But Lord Caitanya is the golden incarnation of Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself. To engage in imitating the Lord’s līlā or transcendental eternal pastimes is hardly an authorized activity for any bonafide devotee of the Lord. A vaiṣṇava devotee of Lord always serves to satisfy the transcendental desires of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Neglecting the Lord’s order and instead simply trying to directly enjoy “tasting the nectar of Kṛṣṇa’s confidential pastimes” is against the principle of selfless service in pure devotion, and therefore is not an authorized activity for a bonafide devotee of the Lord.

It is never possible to experience the real “taste” or to actually realize the eternal pastimes of the Lord on the transcendental platform so long as one is conditioned by material bodily identification.
