Abode of love object of love .

Srila Gour Govinda Swami, the pure Gaudia Vaisnava and servant of Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada was extremely well versed and deeply understood the conclusions of the Vedas , and particularly the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu that Mahāprabhu personally taught to Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila Ragganatha das Goswami and Srila Sanantana Goswami . The Smriti of these acaryas are essential if we want to understand Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His teachings .

Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada would say love is in the hearts of all beings , it is inherently so .We can say our hearts are the abode of love . In material consciousness, it’s purely exhibited form is covered in many ways , sometimes we see many wonderful exhibitions of love in this world,  like the mother for the child , pure unmotivated love , but often the repose of love and attraction is overcome by self centred lust .

When it is said that love of God is within all beings, we should understand what that means fully by deliberations and consulting the acaryas and devotees of God .

The object of love and the abode of love in trancendental terms is a very, very deep, and esoteric subject matter . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has come to reveal the means to understand it and how to taste it . Ultimately, the International Society for Krishna consciousness is bringing this subject matter to humanity at large . In so doing it also brings the peripherals of Varna Ashram and injects it with Krishna consciousness so that the peripherals can easily and quicky connect to the cor .

So love of God is something we are searching after , but although love is inherently situated in our heart , and philosophically everyone is an expansion of God , in one sense,  thus we are one and different from Him , so in that way we are attracted to others consciousness and forms . However, we must be shown and accept the gift of knowing and loving God Himself , It is He who is the originator,  we must know of His qualities form and activities and pastimes. We could and should repose our love exclusively in Him . We are the tiny abode of love , and God  is the object of love either directly or indirectly , Spiritual life means making the relationship direct . The Supreme Goddess of Fortune Srimati Radharani is the ultimate and original abode of Love , Her Love is unlimitedly expanding ,She is increasingly experiencing love for the unlimited qualities of Krishna,  and its through Her kindness and mercy that we also through Her devotees can know how to love Krishna and know something of His glorious activities and position .The Hare Krishna Maha Mantra brings this widom and establishes it deep within anyones heart who is prepared to take it .Bhakti Devi,  an expansion of Srimati Radharani, is carried in the heart of Krishna’s pure devotees. She allows them to award love of God to whoever they so wish .
