Introduction
This Website is dedicated to pure bhakti – loving devotional service to the Divine Couple in Vraja, Sri Radha and Krishna.
There are three levels of existence, corresponding to three levels of consciousness: (1) Material consciousness, the plane of sense enjoyment; (2) detachment from material pleasure, the plane of renunciation; and (3) spiritual consciousness, the plane of dedication. Paradoxically, freedom lies in commitment. Real love, ecstatic bliss, and freedom come from spiritual commitment, from dedication or devotion to a higher cause, to the Supreme Being, the Divine Couple – Sri Radha and Krishna. Our aspiration is to be on the level of dedication and we cultivate this mood by the spiritual practice of ‘bhakti yoga’. ‘Bhakti’ means loving devotion to Radha and Krishna and ‘yoga’ means attaining oneness of heart with them. The main process in bhakti is the chanting of the holy name, the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.
We aspire to love the Divine Couple in manjari bhava – the mood of the girlfriends and maidservants of Sri Radha. Such spiritual perfection is attained through devotion to Sri Guru, Sri Nityananda and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Sri Guru is the link to the spiritual realm, the cement that binds us to the Divine Couple. In our present state of consciousness our practice of bhakti must be under the guidance of a living genuine Guru, and we have taken shelter of Prabhupad Srila Premgopal Goswami, the direct descendant of Nityananda. However, pure bhakti is not sectarian and every spirit soul is welcome to use this facility. Feel free to join our spiritual community, our Nitai Family, whoever your Guru is and whatever sanga you happened to belong to.
Jai Nitai.
