Śrī Lokanātha Gosvāmī & Śrī Bhūgarbha Gosvāmī

The Lord knows the desires of His devotees and feels Himself obliged to fulfill them. He came personally to give Lokanath Gosvāmī a deity, telling him before disappearing that its name is Radha-Vinoda. Lokanath Gosvāmī was astonished at seeing the appearance of deities and started to wonder who gave him those deities. Radha-vinoda cast His sweet glance on Lokanath Gosvāmī and said to him, “ I have been living in this village of Umarao on the banks of Kishorī Kund. I saw your eagerness to serve Me and so I came here on My own. Who else but Me could have brought Me to you? I am very hungry. Quickly prepare something for Me to eat.” When Lokanath Gosvāmī heard these words, tears began to flow from his eyes.

Glories of Srila Lokanath Goswami

This Harikatha was delivered on 18th July 2006, on the disappearance day of Srila Lokanath Goswami. Srila Gurudev gave important teachings while narrating the glories of Srila Lokanath Goswami. He recalls two incidents of Srila Paramgurudev giving instructions to the devotees in the Math. He then recalls one incident from his childhood and narrates how his mother, out of great affection for them, would care for them even when her own health was poor. He teaches us that wherever there is love and affection, service naturally follows.
