In this heart-melting episode, Rasik Swami (formally B.B. Rasikananda Maharaja) reveals the hidden glories of Śrīla Gurudeva—not only as a guide in this world but as an eternal associate in the divine pastimes of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Drawing from Gurudeva’s own realizations and teachings, he shares how remembrance of Guru leads to entrance into the eternal līlā, and describes Sevakuñja as “the temple of Gurudeva’s heart.” Through poetic glimpses from Sankalpa-kalpadruma, we’re invited into the intimate mood of the manjarī’s service—leading Rādhārāṇī to Kṛṣṇa, fanning the Divine Couple, and glorifying Them with flower-like poetry. This is more than philosophy—it is a call to deepen our connection to Guru, whose mercy alone can unveil the true goal of bhakti.
