Purify your senses through Krishna's service, beginning with chanting on your tongue.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Initiation of Lakṣmī-priyā & Mṛga-netrī Dāsī — June 22, 1970, Los Angeles 700622IN-LOS ANGELES [53:32 Minutes] Initiations_700622IN-LOS ANGELES Prabhupāda: [japa] [04:53] What is your name? Huh? Lucy: Lucy. Prabhupāda: Lucy. So your spiritual name, Lakṣmī-priyā. Lakṣmī-priyā.
Lord Caitanya's first wife's name was Lakṣmī-priyā. Yes. So always think of Lord Caitanya and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Come on, next. [japa] [12:28] Your name is Mṛga-netrī.
Mṛga-netrī. Mṛga-netrī means staring eyes like she-deer. When Kṛṣṇa and Rādhārāṇī used to pass through the forest of Vṛndāvana, these deers and stags, they were looking with staring eyes: "When Kṛṣṇa will pass this way?" These animals were also attracted to Kṛṣṇa. The birds, everyone, the flowers, the fruits, everyone engage...
Vṛndāvana means everything engaged in Kṛṣṇa. So if all of you similarly engage yourself always in Kṛṣṇa's service, this is Vṛndāvana. Vṛndāvana is not that... As Kṛṣṇa is not located... He is located, but by His inconceivable potency He can simultaneously become located and distributed.
Akhilātma-bhūtaḥ. Goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ [Bs. 5.37]. He is always in Goloka Vṛndāvana, but still, He is everywhere. That is God's omnipotency.
We say that God is omnipotent, but we do not know what does it mean. The omnipotency means simultaneously to do or to act or to remain everywhere. That is Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa... You may not think that "Kṛṣṇa is [in] Goloka Vṛndāvana.
Here is an idol of Kṛṣṇa." No. He is Kṛṣṇa. Just like the electricity is distributed, but in the plug there is also electricity, similarly, Kṛṣṇa... That is Kṛṣṇa's inconceivable potency.
