Today 26.08.2020 on this blessed Sri Radhashtami Day in the holy place of Sri Madhav Das Bhavan at Sri Chaitanya Sridhar Seva Asram, Srila Bhakti Prapanna Tirtha Goswami Maharaj performed the installation of the deity of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu!
Jay Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu!
Also today the first stone was laid in the foundation of the future temple.
Jay!
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.
All Glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga

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.
