Devotional service is eternal, but this service has never been given before.

May the Supreme Lord, who is known as the son of Śrīmatī Śacī-devī be transcendentally situated in the innermost chambers of your heart. Resplendent with the radiance of molten gold, He has appeared in the Age of Kali by His causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most sublime and radiant mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love.

Srila Sanatana Goswami, when questioned about a  concept of  devotional service being eternal and yet Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was  introducing a  new element or type of service that had never been given before , Srila Sanatana Goswami said  , that you may or may not accept , but it’s a fact , the mood of Srimati Radharani and Her manjaris , the Parakiya rasa ,   was being relished by Caitanya Mahaprabhu for the first time and  distributed for the first time . By the association of those who have acquired and relished such a Rasa, one can also. become attracted and relish it .

The wives of the brahmanas in the 10th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam became attracted to Krishna in the same ways as the Gopies by association with them in the market places , we are told by Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur Maharaja.
