Bhakti: An Expression of Pure Joy

by Bhakti Vikasa Swami on July 6, 2009

Devotional service itself is also vilasa, an expression of pure joy. By
taking part in the bhakti-vilasa of honoring the Supreme Lord’s maha-prasada
and dancing, singing, and performing other services for His pleasure,
saintly devotees untie the knots of material bondage-the materialistic
attitudes born from false ego-within their hearts… The impulses of the
senses are compared to the current of a mighty river like the Ganga, which
can never be stopped; without the special protection of the Supreme Lord’s
internal energy in pure devotional service, no one can stop the incessant
flow of sensory agitation.

From Brhad-bhagavatamrta 2.7.14 ppt., by Srila Sanatana Goswami Prabhupada;
as presented by Gopiparanadhana Prabhu

For Srila Sanatana Gosvami’s Disappearance day, coming soon (different dates
