The Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas , following the advice and teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Lord Krishna, have invited us all to think , act and intellectualise in connection with Krishna , in Krishna consciousness. Ultimately the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra or any names of God are fully realised and relished when one develops an effection for Krishna, Radharani, Balarama, one must call out in love , with love within the heart .There are many many ways to think , act, and intellectualise in Krishna consciousness, but the most essential ingredient to the spiritual path of Gaudia Vaisnavism is to add Bhakti , pure Bhakti means pure love . This essential ingredient of love is bestowed upon the sincere practitioners , the Bhagavad Gita runs through the process of how karma yoga leads to niskama karma yoga then to high levels of realised jnana in pure jnana yoga then to pure meditations in pure Astanga yoga that is enthused by Radha Krishna nitya lila smaranam or remembrances. The process of Sadhana bhakti, one of practice , that can develop into spontaneous loving services as a Ragganuga Bhakta, have been written on by Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila Sanatana Gosvami and Srila Jiva Goswami, Srila Ragganatha das Goswami’s litratures describes the highest pinnacles of the Bhakti process.
The Maha Mantra and the names of Krishna, He has many that our acaryas glorify, have decended from the spiritual planes. These names have been enthused with Rasa and the pastimes and activities of Krishna are eternally situated in them . When one hears the Holy names from a pure devotee and accepts that devotee into one’s heart with great faith and a service mentality, and when such a pure devotee accept us into their hearts and gives blessings, the process of Bhakti and love begins . Bhakti Devi is awarding love of God , through the mercy of Srimati Radharani , who is the top most possessor of pure love for Krishna , and also in this age , through Caitanya Mahāprabhu , who in Radha Krishna combined, and along with Their devotees , such pure love of God is learned of and bestowed . Through this process , added to the discipline of what to think ,and how to think , act, and intellectualise, the Bhakti yoga process brings one and all the greatest of gifts . We must learn to love God and His family and friends, the trancendental realms of Vrndavana have decended through the Sankirtana movements of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
