You will find that Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa līlā the gopīs, they are simply helping Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa to combine, jaya rādhā-mādhava kuñja-bihārī (Gītāvalī).

You will find that Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa līlā the gopīs, they are simply helping Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa to combine, jaya rādhā-mādhava kuñja-bihārī (Gītāvalī). The kuñjas in Vṛndāvana, there are nine bushes, so the gopīs are helping to attract meeting of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa in those kuñjas. They are personally not interested to meet with Kṛṣṇa directly; they want to see Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa meet, and they enjoy.

So this is of course very difficult at the present moment to understand Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa līlā. But Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s contribution is that other ācāryas, the Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, Gaudiya Vaiṣṇavas. The Rāmānuja-sampradāya there is also got Lord Nārāyaṇa and Lakṣmī, Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa. They worship Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa. Madhva-sampradāya, they worship Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa. Nimbārka-sampradāya, they also worship Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa. We Gaudiya-sampradāya, we also worship Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. That is the topmost spiritual realization.

So I instructed the Govinda dasi and Gaurasundara to make this Hawaii island as New Navadvīpa. Navadvīpa means nine islands, and here are five islands. Similarly, in Bengal, Bengal is very . . . there are many rivers. So mixing of the rivers, cutting of the rivers, makes islands. So there were nine. There were nine islands formerly, and all those islands were called Navadvīpa, nine islands, and there are very learned scholars, especially resided by Brahmins. Caitanya Mahāprabhu also appeared in one of the islands, which is called Antardvīpa, or Śrīdāmā Māyāpura. We are erecting our center there on a very big scale. We shall be able to go there and read and learn Vaiṣṇava philosophy. Arrangement is being made there. So that is Navadvīpa.
