- TOVP.org

Близится день явления Его Божественной Милости Шрилы Бхактивиноды Тхакура, пионера в деле распространения сознания Кришны по всему миру, время великой радости и великого празднования, поскольку без его усилий у нас не было бы движения Харе Кришна и самой благоприятной возможности вернуться обратно к Богу.

Без милости и благословений Радхи мы не сможем ощутить сладость Враджа-севы и вступить в самые чистые лилы в мадхурья-расе, являющиеся высшим совершенством према-бхакти.
