Follow Through Steady Service and Chanting
“Day and night he rendered service within his mind to Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, and for three hours a day he discoursed about the character of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu.”
What the purport teaches
- Day and night, Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī served Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa within his mind. For three hours daily, he spoke about the character of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
- We have much to learn about bhajana, or worship of the Lord, by following his footsteps. All the Gosvāmīs engaged in such transcendental activities.
- Following Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī means executing devotional service very strictly, specifically by chanting the holy name of the Lord.
