Near and Dear

His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad

Question: When we are so far from you, how can we get your association?

To say or think "so far" is not correct. You offer everything to your Guru, you think about your Guru, then how can it be 'far'? If you think your Guru is far, then how far is Krishna? Venezuela and India are not so far from each other compared to Goloka Vrindavan, where Krishna lives.

যে দিন গৃহে ভজন দেখি ।
গৃহেতে গোলোক ভায় ॥

ye dina grhe bhajana dekhi
grhete goloka bhaya

On the days when I see devotional service taking place in my home, I feel that Goloka has manifested there.

'Suddha-bhakata-charana-renu' by Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur

It means that when you worship your Guru, worship Krishna, Krishna is always in your house. Every day you offer to Gurudev, you serve Gurudev, and Gurudev is always in your house. It is easy to serve—anywhere you stay, just follow Gurudev's instruction, and you will easily get mercy from Gurudev.

Sanatan Goswami's Madan Mohan
'Many years ago Vrindavan was all forest, a jungle, so Sanatan Goswami would every day go begging to Mathura. Once, he went to a house where there lived a husband and a wife who had been married for twelve-fourteen years but did not have any children...'

 

Nitai gunamani amara
'Lochan Das says, 'Anyone who did not serve Nitai knowingly committed suicide.''
নিতাই গুণমণি আমার

“If Gurudev had not come, who would have been able to tell us
about the glories of Gauranga?”
