Sri Gouranga Mahaprabhu & Sri Radha Madhav

 

“One cannot attain Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa by hearing the glories of Viṣṇu for a billion kalpas. Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa can be attained only by association with the gopis. And one cannot attain the association of the gopis except by taking shelter of the lotus feet of Gauranga. Therefore, please, constantly worship Gauranga with full devotion.
“Devotees exclusively attracted to the lotus feet of Gauranga, like bees attracted to nectar, certainly attain Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. If You desire the goal of devotion-servitorship to Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa in Vṛndāvana, which is so rare in this world then go quickly to Navadvīpa and worship Gauranga, the ocean of mercy. At present, Kṛṣṇa, the dearmost of Radha, is residing there in the form of Gauranga.
“In order to bestow the mood of the gopis, Kṛṣṇa, the son of Nanda, has appeared in a two-armed golden form, with hands extending to the knees, and with pleasing eyes and face. In the dress of a devotee, He chants His own auspicious name in a loud voice and sometimes He chants ‘gopi, gopi, gopi.’
(Sri Navadvipa-Dhama-Mahatmya, Pramana-Khanda, Chapter 2)

By descending as an incarnation at Navadvīpa, You, just like Kṛṣṇa, have already delivered all the living entities of the universe.
(CC Antya 3.86)
