godavarya-vama-tira-ramananda-samvadam
jnana-karmma-mukta-marma-raga-bhakti-sampadam
parakiya-kanta-krsna-bhava-sevanakaram
prema-dhama-devam eva naumi gaura-sundaram
The famous conversation of Lord Gaurasundar with Ramananda Ray on the banks of the Godavari River is known as the Ramananda-samvad in the Sri Chaitanya-charitamrta. In those discussions, the highest form of dedication is pure love of God in a heart free from fruitive aspirations and scriptural calculation. Also, Lord Krishna, who appeared as the son of Nanda Maharaj, was ascertained as the sole recipient of the sweetness relished in the mellows of parakiya-rasa. I offer my obeisances to that beautiful Golden Lord, Gaurangasundar, the divine form of Krishna prema.

dasya-sakhya-vatsya-kanta-sevanottarottaram
srestha-parakiya-radhikanghri-bhakti-sundaram
sri-vraja-sva-siddha-divya-kama-krsna-tatparam
prema-dhama-devam eva naumi gaura-sundaram
Lord Chaitanya showed that there are various relationships which exist in connection with Lord Krishna. Those relationships begin with servitude, and progress to friendship and parental love, extending to a conjugal relationship. But the epitome of charm and beauty is reserved for the son of Nanda Maharaj in the forest groves of Vrindavan. That is service to Srimati Radharani in conjugal love, and is known as parakiya. Sri Gaurangadev embodied this sort of divine aspiration. I offer my obeisances to that beautiful Golden Lord, Gaurangasundar, the divine form of Krishna prema.
— Verse 25 —
santa-mukta-bhrtya-trpta-mitra-matta-darsitam
snigdha-mugdha-sista-mista-sustha-kuntha-harsitam
tantra-mukta-vamya-raga-sarva-sevanottaram
prema-dhama-devam eva naumi gaura-sundaram
Lord Gaurangadev explained that a devotee in passive adoration enjoys the happiness of being free from all material miseries, and a devotee in servitude relishes the pleasure of contentment. A devotee in friendship becomes overwhelmed with happiness arising from close affection, whereas a devotee in the parental mood is free from any trace of calculation, experiencing deepened affection in ecstatic joy. Lord Chaitanya further revealed that the devotee in conjugal love known as svakiya only partially relishes the sweetness of this mellow, due to a tinge of scriptural etiquette. However, when the conjugal mellow is beyond scriptural restrictions, then spontaneity and freedom, added by the mood of vamya, the highest expression of divine pleasure in the Lord’s service, is bestowed. Sri Gaurangadev gave license to these high ideals. I offer my obeisances to that beautiful Golden Lord, Gaurangasundar, the divine form of Krishna prema.
