Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhav Goswami Maharaj had been to the laboratory of the great world famous Noble Prize winner Indian scientist Dr. C. V. Raman to invite him to preside over a function on the occasion of Sri Krishna Janmashtami at Sri Gaudiya Math, Bagh Bazar, Calcutta.

Dr. C. V. Raman refused to accept the invitation on the grounds that Krishna was fictitious and He had no desire to waste his valuable time for such a function. Maharaj again requested him to participate in the function because some of his students were participating in that function and they wanted him to attend. Dr. Raman said if Maharaj could show Krishna to him, he would go to the function, otherwise not, because he had no desire to waste his time for that which could not be comprehended by observation and experiment.. The northern portion of that laboratory was totally closed by a wall. The whole of North-Calcutta was behind that wall.

Maharaj asked him, "I am unable to see anything beyond this wall. If I say `there is nothing outside this wall', will it be correct?" Dr. Raman said, "I can see through my instruments." Maharaj asked him, "There is a limit to your instruments. You can see only as far as your instruments allow you to see." Dr. Raman said, "I will not give my attention to anything that is not within my sense-experience. Can you show me your God?" Maharaj then said, "If your students say to you, they will study your scientific findings only if you make them realised first, then what would you say?" Dr. Raman said, "No, they are to take my process through which I have realised the truth." Maharaj said, "If this is true for you and your scientific knowledge, can the seers of ancient India not say exactly the same thing? Follow their process and see whether you experience God's existence or not."

Sri Jagannatha Ratha-Yatra

In the beginning Sriman Mahaprabhu for His first twenty four years acted as a regular householder in Sridham Navadvipa. He after that time, in the holy City of Puri in His role as a renunciate, began exhibiting the pangs of intense separation characteristic of high devotional moods. Apparently, although it was His mother's behest in Advaita Bhavan for Himself to reside in the holy City of Puri, in actual fact it was all His own very plan. Puri City is the Supreme Lord's natural abode. The other familiar names for this City are Purusottama, Sri Ksetra, Nilacala, Lord Sri Krishna at one time, informed Sri Mahadeva about His hidden realm Puri whose glories are understood by only a very few (Chaitanya Bhagavata Antya 2nd).

Vṛndāvane Chalo! He Gopīnātha

The love of the Vrajavāsis for Śrī Kṛṣṇa is unparalleled and supreme. When they heard that Kṛṣṇa would be coming to Kurukṣetra from Dvārakā, their hearts surged with longing. Though uninvited, they could not restrain themselves—they were compelled by the fire of separation to catch even a glimpse of their beloved. This episode beautifully reveals the depth and intensity of their love, which knows no bounds, follows no protocol, and seeks no reward—only union with Kṛṣṇa.
