✨ Why did Krishna dās Bābājī want to end his life in Mānasī Gaṅgā, despite being a deeply realized Vaiṣṇava? After intense japa and līlā-smaran, Rādhe jū herself appeared to him in a dream, ordering him to teach near Govardhan. What unfolded next—with the help of Sanātana Goswāmī and Lalitā Sakhī—was an act of divine intervention that saved his life.
🎨 What happens when the devotee’s svarūpa-veśa (spiritual body) vanishes during service? Thākurjī, trembling in ecstatic love, cannot complete painting Rādhā’s cheeks. Tulasī Mañjarī is called in to help—but just then, Raghunāth dās Goswāmī loses the vision. When he returns, the service is done—by none other than his guru-mañjarī, Rūpa Mañjarī.
💍 What miracle occurred when Rādhe jū herself accepted bangles? Hear the charming story of Bittalnāth Goswāmī and the mysterious “eighth daughter-in-law” who turned out to be someone divine.
💧 Are tears necessary for bhakti? In a heartfelt group discussion, devotees explore the power of weeping in devotion—including a humorous and touching tale of a disciple who used chili to cry, and Mahāprabhu’s unexpected reaction.
🕊 These stories, rich in prema-bhakti and rāgānugā-sādhana, remind us how real bhajan opens the gateway to divine reciprocation.
