"There is no difference between Rādhā-kuṇḍa and Rādhārāṇī. So how you can jump over Rādhārāṇī? Rādhā-kuṇḍa and Rādhārāṇī nondifferent. How you can enjoy Rādhā-kuṇḍa by swimming? You cannot touch with your feet even Rādhā-kuṇḍa. You can take little water and keep it on the head. That is respectful to Rādhā-kuṇḍa. Of course, things are going on like that, but strictly speaking, Rādhā-kuṇḍa should be respected as Rādhārāṇī herself. That is Rādhā-kuṇḍa consciousness. Highest Rādhā-kuṇḍa consciousness."

Listen to a class given by Akuti devi dasi on text 28 of the Srimad-Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana), canto 3, chapter 19, entitled "The Killing of the Demon Hiraṇyākṣa" given on October 13, 2025 at the Hare Krishna temple in Alachua, Florida..

This devotee came with me on books and he got the mercy. They were flying out. And people were giving donations. He could feel the special purification of this Arabic book distribution and was so fired up. We became spiritual brothers by the mercy of this service!"

Sri Madhvacharya Appearance Day.
Today is the appearance day of Sri Madhvacharya. Madhvacharya (acarya means “one who teaches by his life”) lived in thirteenth-century India and appeared in the Brahma-Madhva – Gaudiya-Vaisnava-Sampradaya—the disciplic chain now represented by His Divine Grace A.C.
