Gurudeva sayings - I asked "Gurudeva, what happens at the time of initiation?" - he replied so beautifully "I jump into your heart, and tell Paramatma prabhu - okay you can leave now I will take care of this heart, then I sweep your heart and make a beautiful Kunja for Radha and Krishna to enter". Then he continued on another day - "upon the canvas of your heart, I will paint a beautiful scene of Vrindavan, and there I will invite Radha and Krishna to enter".

Gurudeva sayings "You are a very fragrant flower, I want to pick you, and offer you to Srimati Radharani". "I want to pick you and put you in my pocket forever". "I am stringing a garland of hearts to offer to Srimati Radhika"....

Although their minds cannot concentrate on Krishna's pastimes, they want siddha-deha-as if it was an Indian rasagulla. If someone has money he can easily purchase two, three or four rasagullas. Similarly, these so-called devotees think that they can attain their siddha-deha just as easily as one buys a rasagulla. This philosophical misconception has very, very dangerous consequences. Neophytes expect to immediately jump into Goloka Vrindavana and serve Krishna better than Srimati Radhika. They proudly say, "Radhika? Who is this Radhika? Who is this Lalita? Who is this Visakha?" However, if a beautiful young lady or man were to come, practicing his or her false, so-called devotional life with similar misconceptions, the two will fall down together in a moment. There are thousands and thousands of such so-called devotees. Although they are not mature in their bhakti, they artificially think, "I have now achieved my siddha-deha; I am Lalita or Visakha, and I am a better sakhi than Rupa Manjari. Rupa Manjari was not as qualified as I am." As a result of this offensive thinking such persons must go to hell in a very short time-in a day or two. These people also think, "Oh, the Gaudiya Math has deviated from the ancient parampara. The previous acaryas used to think and act like us. Rupa Gosvami and all of the other acaryas used to do as we do. From the beginning stage of their devotional lives they remembered their siddha-deha, and in their siddha-deha they served Krishna." Such speculations are quite wrong. Our acaryas, headed by the six Gosvamis, never acted like this. They are not ordinary persons, but associates of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna Themselves, who have descended to this world only to give their mercy and teachings; and they set the example for the conditioned souls by beginning from sraddha in their own lives and devotional activities. Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja.

Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja speaking on Siddha-Deha: "Mother, I want a very beautiful wife. She should be very golden in complexion, with curly hair and beautiful eyes. She should not be stronger than me, otherwise she will be able to chastise me; and she should also be more lean and thin than me. Also, I want to have two sons and one daughter very soon after our marriage. Quickly Mother, you should arrange for a very beautiful lady." The boy's mother began to laugh. "Yes, I will certainly search everywhere for a good wife for you, but first you must become fatter and stronger. Then, when your sikha becomes long and thick, I will very quickly arrange your marriage." This story indicates a phenomena which is spreading everywhere among so-called devotees nowadays. They don't want to chant many rounds, nor do they make an effort to develop a devotional mood towards Krishna. They don't want to remember Krishna, and they don't want to enter into a deep understanding of siddhanta. They can't chant all day and all night like Haridasa Thakura. In fact, they can't even chant one round of the Hare Krishna mantra with their minds absorbed in Krishna. They have many requirements for the body and for those things which relates to the body-such as name, fame and fortune. Although they are full of lust and other worldly desires, they still expect their siddha-deha to manifest." Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja.

Gurudeva speaking on Eadasa-Bhava:
Jayanta-kṛṣṇa dāsa: No ekādaśa-bhāva (the eleven aspects of gopī bhāva)?Śrīla Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja: Ekādaśa-bhāva is bona fide, but it will come at the stage of bhāva-bhakti. First comes āsakti, and then bhāva, and at that time it will come
through the mercy of the bona fide paramparā. It will descend from the heart of the rāgātmikā associate of the Lord and manifest in mantra from others. That is why they are all characterless, bogus persons.Śrīla Bhaktivinode Ṭhākura has stated in Jaiva-dharma and in his songs that it will come by the mercy of Śrīmatī Rādhikā, in the higher stage. Not that a guru would give ekādaśa-bhāvas to someone who does not know anything about proper siddhānta (philosophical conclusion) or proper behavior, and who does not even clean himself after passing stool and urine. They want mokṣa, liberation. They think, “By practicing in this way we will have liberation. We will mix with Kṛṣṇa.".
Jaya Gurudeva!!! Hope this clarifies a few points for those who are confused.

To clear up the misconception that the Babaji's of Radha Kund have anything to add to our spiritual journey here is a letter from Srila Gurudeva saying it like it is!:
Letter To Alachua Devotees
22nd of April 2004
Vice President of Sri Gaudiya Vedanta
Samiti and Sri Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti Trust
My dear disciples of Alachua,
My heartly blessings are for you. All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga, all glories to Sri Sri Radha Vinode Bihariji.
THERE IS NO NEED TO GO TO THE BABAJIS. THE FORTUNATE LIVING ENTITY WHO HAS ACCEPTED A BONA FIDE SPIRITUAL MASTER IN THE LINE OF SRILA RUPA GOSVAMI, HE HAS NOTHING TO GAIN IN KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS BY ASSOCIATING WITH THE BABAJIS. I HAVE EXPLAINED ALL THE DEVIATIONS OF THE BABAJIS IN SRI PRABANDA PANCHAKAM. PLEASE STUDY THIS CAREFULLY WITH THE DEVOTEES THAT HAVE ANY DOUBTS IN THIS REGARD.
There are no special mantras to obtain from any babaji. But for those devotees who have not actually taken shelter at the lotus feet of a bona fide spiritual master and who are not interested to practice the process of bhajan as it has been presented by Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, they must become bewildered and as a result of this they will look for a shortcut to attain the desired goal of bhava bhakti. Please do be bewildered and help all by carefully studying my classes and Sri Prabanda Panchakam. I have said everything in this booklet. We have freely distributed thousands of copies in Vrndavan 3 years ago and there has not been any reply up to this day from anyone. Not even one babaji has dared to reply.
Your ever well-wisher,
Swami B.V. Narayan
