Sri Jiva\u00a0 <\/span>Gosw\u00e2mi tells us \u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“We gain love when we practice devotion in m\u00e2dhurya<\/em>\u2013bh\u00e2v<\/em>. Due to this love, we relish the form and excellent qualities of Sri Krishna. This relish proves that we have realised sweetness. Realisation of ras<\/em> and realisation of sweetness are synonymous.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

– (Purport to B. R. S. 4.5.15)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Govinda is the vast ocean of Ras<\/em> or sweetness. The agitated waters of this nectarine ocean are most intoxicating and we call this \u2018sweet\u2019. When our mind is attracted by this sweetness, we forget everything else and float here and there like clumps of algae. His Kishor form is enveloped in the most fascinating shring\u00e2r\u2013ras<\/em> and is a soothing panacea for terrible material desires! <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another meaning would be – Sri Krishna\u2019s sweetness is a vast ocean. It is full of the intoxicating wine of the Vraja-sundaris\u2019 blessed youth. He is decorated by the waves of their youth. Such an explanation is indeed charged with bh\u00e2v<\/em> and is very much ras<\/em>-full. 14.<\/span><\/p>\n
