Sri Krsna and the cowherd boys would smear aromatic (gandha) substances on their bodies while grazing the cows. It is said that Sri Krsna became intoxicated by the fragrance emanating from the body of Srimati Radhika, who was hiding nearby with Her girlfriends. Seeing Srimatiji, the flute slipped from His hands, His peacock feather crown fell at Her lotus feet, and He fainted. From then Srimati Radhika is also called as Gandhesvari.

Q: When I visit certain holy places or temples I feel strong emotions and
often cry. Where do these emotions come from? I then find myself trying to
feel the same emotions later. Is this all right or am I trying to enjoy my
senses in the name of spiritual life?
A: Imagine a curtain hanging over a window. The thicker the curtain, the
less light will come through into the room. In the dhama the curtain or
veil between the material and spiritual worlds is thin.

Prabhupada Knows Everything
Sometimes devotees see me, a sannyasi, and ask, "How have you become so spiritually advanced?" Of course, I know more about my position than they do. Simply officially taking sannyasa is no cure for the nonsense mind. One thing, though, is that I never doubted anything Prabhupada said. I know that everything Srila Prabhupada says is right. Prabhupada knows Krsna; therefore he knows everything. If anyone thinks that Srila Prabhupada made a mistake, then he made a mistak
