This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is very nice in this sense, that we are dealing with original Kṛṣṇa love affair. Wherefrom this love affair come's—between young boys and girls? Ah, that is explained in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam or Vedānta sūtra: janmādy jijñāsā. So Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura has explained that this feelings of love between young boy and girl that is called ādi-rāsa. There are 12 rasas. So this feeling, it may be perverted now in the present conditional stage of life as sex feeling. But this attraction is the original attraction between Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā. Therefore Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī has explained what is the feature of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Rādhā is the pleasure potency of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is Parabrahma, so ordinary man in order to understand Brahma. Sukham or happiness, Brahma happiness. Brahma happiness means, happiness or pleasure which has no end. The material happiness—there is end. That is the distinction between material happiness, material pleasure and spiritual or Brahma pleasure.
- ramante yogino 'nante
- satyānande cid-ātmani
- iti rāma-padenāsau
- paraṁ brahma ity abhidhīyate
- (Śatanāma-stotra 8, Padma Purāṇa)
Rāma, Rāma is the spiritual Rāmāyaṇa. So yoginaḥ, those who are bhakti yogīs, those who are devotees. They are called yogī's. So ramante they also have romance but they have raman in ananta. Not in the limited but in the unlimited. Ramante yoginaḥ anante. And that is real ramante, that is real pleasure. Anything which is flickering, which is nonpermanent that is not happiness. That is māyā.
