The most worshipable ลrฤซ ลrฤซla Prabhupฤda is the dynamic manifest form of the merciful potency of Lord Gaurฤแน ga Deva. I have heard that in his childhood he used to be referred by his Spiritual Preceptors - who were self-realized souls - by the name ลrฤซmad Bhaktisiddhฤnta Sarasvatฤซ. Later in the year 1918, when he entered into the renounced order of life, he used to be called Tridandฤซ Svฤmฤซ ลrฤซmad Bhaktisiddhฤnta Sarasvatฤซ. Hereafter, in different Holy pilgrimage places he used to identify himself as ลrฤซ-Vแนแนฃabhฤnavi Dayitฤ Dฤs He is the non-different expansion of ลrฤซmati Rฤdhฤrani Herself, always joyfully exhibiting the nature pleasing to ลrฤซmati Rฤdhikฤ which is the mood of service to Lord Krishna. The verses of the devotional song Vilapkusumanjali, expressing lamentation in separation from ลrฤซmati Rฤdhฤrani, were known to him by rote. In the description of the glories of ลrฤซmati Rฤdhikฤ, or sometimes at the very mention of Her name, he would be overcome by emotion, and tears would stream profusely from his eyes. He would become transfixed in overwhelming emotion on hearing certain popular verses of the song Vilapkusumanjali, like โvairagya-yug bhakti-rasam, asa bharair-amrtasindhumayaihโ or the verse โyasyah kadapi vasunancha lakhelanothaโ from ลrฤซ Rฤdhฤrasa Suddhaniddhi. He frequently used to sing the lyrics of the song below.
โOne should remain the servant of ลrฤซmati Rฤdhฤrani, giving up all sense of material enjoyment and trying to humbly preach the glories of the Name. The pure devotees do not merely practice solitary bhajan, which is a form of cheating.โ
At Purฤซ Dhฤm, a few days before his disappearance into his eternal pastimes, he chanted the verses of two well-known prayers in glorification of ลrฤซ Govardhana Hill. They were ลrฤซ Rลซpa Goswฤmฤซโs โpratyasam me tvam kuru govardhana purnamโ and ลrฤซla Raghunฤtha Dฤs Goswฤmฤซโs โnija nikata nivasam dehi govardhana tvamโ. By means of these prayers, he showed us by personal example the method of the worship of ลrฤซ Govardhana Hill. Likewise, ลrฤซ ลrฤซla Prabhupฤda used to offer fresh water and Tulasi leaves in worship of ลrฤซ Govardhana (Stone Deity) before taking his meals in his room at the Chaitanya Maแนญha. I personally had the chance of witnessing this event. The sacred Hill of Govardhana and the holy pond of ลrฤซ Rฤdhฤ Kunda used to be his highest objects of veneration and worship. The Chattak hill is very near to the temple of Totฤ-Gopinฤtha, where previously ลrฤซ Gadฤdhara Paแนแธita (an expansion of ลrฤซmati Rฤdhฤrani) used to serve his Deities. This Chattak hill is considered non-different from the Govardhana Hill and it was for that reason ลrฤซ ลrฤซla Prabhupฤda built his place of devotions on top of that hill. In Vraja Mandala ลrฤซ ลrฤซla Prabhupฤda constructed the flower tomb (Puแนฃpa Samฤdhi) of ลrฤซla Bhaktivinoda แนฌhฤkura, named โVrajฤsvananda Sukhada Kuรฑjaโ, by the side of the existing Rฤdhฤ Kunda. There he also exhibited a model example by practice of the remembrance of ลrฤซ Krishnaโs pastimes during the eight periods of the day (aแนฃแนญa-kฤliya lฤซlฤ).
