When there are different centres of interests, nobody can avoid the clashing of individuals, groups, nations etc. For example, if circles are drawn with different centres, circumferences will clash, but if there is one centre of interest there may be smaller or bigger circles but there will be no clashing. According to Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu there should be knowledge of the real self, real interest and one centre of interest. The Supreme Lord Sri Krishna who is Achyuta can be the only common centre of interest from whom all the spirit souls have emanated.

If we pour water at the root of the tree, the whole tree is nourished with all its parts. In like manner, by serving Krishna we serve all. Non-violence is to refrain from doing injury to others. It is negative, but love is to do positive good to others. If anybody has got pure love for any person, he cannot have the impetus to inflict injuries to any part of the object of his love. If we get love for Krishna, we cannot have the impetus to inflict injuries to any of His parts emanating from His marginal potency. All jivas are interrelated through their relation to Sri Krishna.

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.
