The teaching of Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati on raganuga-bhakti is, that ajata ruci (without taste) raganuga sadhakas (practitioners) should adopt the methods of raganuga sadhana that they are qualified to adopt in proportion to their development of sacred greed (lobhamayi sraddha), while following the angas (limbs) of vaidhi bhakti (regulated devotional service).

This follows Sri Jiva Goswami's Bhakti-sandarbha 311

(based on a webinar class on Prabodhananda Sarasvati’s fifteenth century classic, Vrndavana Mahimamrta)

“In this verse, Prabhodananda Sarasvati says that for a male sadhaka, the embodiment of maya or illusion is woman. In fact, there are many verses in this book about the perils of woman, which we compare to icebergs on the ocean of devotion for a male sadhaka. But why is this rasika-vaisnava, Prabhodananda Sarasvati, discussing this, since this book is about amrta or the nectar of Vrndavana? 

"Jan Gan Man" is national anthem of India written by Ravindranath Tagore.

Many people dont know that it have 5 paragraphs (Because all are not sung)

It was written in Bengali but most of the words are Sanskrit.

Linguist tried to understand why Tagore wrote it for King George V?

They were trying to find with what intention did Tagore compose this song?

And they arrived at the conclusion that it was not written for King nor it refers to 'Bharat Mata' or mother earth it was specifically written for Lord

Terrible, right?  10 years & I have not yet observed Ekadasi.  I looked at the beautiful pictu
