Sri Lalita Devi

A hint of the particular standard of Srimati Lalita Devi’s service has been given by Srila Rupa Goswami:

radha-mukunda-pada-sambhava-gharmabindu
nirmancanopakarane krta-deha-laksyam

When Lalita Devi finds a drop of perspiration at the feet of Sri Sri Radha-Govinda, she furiously engages herself to remove it.
“How has it come there? We are circumambulating Them to see that not the least pain can enter this domain to trouble Them. But how without our notice has this perspiration appeared? Perspiration, perspiration!”
So she is furiously chastising herself, and wants to immediately take birth one lakh (100,000) times – with that force she comes to remove that drop of perspiration from the lotus feet of either of the Divine Couple. If the least difficulty is seen in the serving area, the Lord’s Associates can’t tolerate it in any way, and such eagerness, self-abuse and earnestness is found in them. In krsna-lila Svarupa-damodara is Lalita-devi.

From Golden Staircase, Chapter Two, The Eye to see Sri Guru

Harmonizing Instructions of the Upper House.

Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj

And one thing we must always keep in mind is that we can’t investigate all of the subtle, higher knowledge as a subjective researcher. Rather, according to the degree of our saranagati, our surrender, the Truth will come down to make Himself known to us. We must always remember this, otherwise, some spirit of imitation will be created in us. Knowledge of the higher domain is not under the jurisdiction of the intellect, and to think so is very dangerous. Intellectualism is dangerous; it will cause us to think that we have “caught the Infinite”. It will be negligence to the infinite characteristic, the infinite aspect of the Lord. He is Adhoksaja, beyond the grasp of academic research.

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 4.30.33

yāvat te māyayā spṛṣṭā
bhramāma iha karmabhiḥ
tāvad bhavat-prasańgānāḿ
sańgaḥ syān no bhave bhave

TRANSLATION

Dear Lord, as long as we have to remain within this material world due to our material contamination and wander from one type of body to another and from one planet to another, we pray that we may associate with those who are engaged in discussing Your pastimes. We pray for this benediction life after life, in different bodily forms and on different planets.

namaste tu halagrama namaste tu mushalayudha
namaste revatikanta namaste bhakta-vatsala
namaste balinam sreshtha namaste dharanidhara

“Obeisances unto You, O holder of the plough; obeisances unto You, O wielder of the pestle;
obeisances unto You, O beloved husband of Revati; obeisances unto You, O affectionate benefactor of Your devotees;
obeisances unto You, O upholder of the earth; obeisances unto You, O best of the mighty;
obeisances unto You, O killer of the Pralamba demon. Please save me, O elder brother of Krishna.”

SRI CHAITANYA BHAGAVATA

Srila Vrindavan Das Thakur

The Vaishnava devotees of the Lord are eternally pure and realized souls. Sometimes there are differences of opinion amongst them which might appear like an argument, but in fact, it is an amazing relationship between devotees. Foolish rascals who do not understand this exchange, praise one Vaishnava and denounce the other. Such a mentality will lead to destruction of faith and knowledge. In the scriptures it says that when a foolish wretch worships the lotus feet of a brahmana and then strikes him on the head, he will be sure to go to hell.
