HH Umapati Swami Maharajtold that, “when the devotees are offering these lamps, I am seeing something very very special. That during the offering of the lamp of all the devotees, Radharani’s smile is so special and sweet like no other time.” I said Maharaj you are seeing that because your lamp is a good lamp.
Srimati Radharani is the bestower of bhakti and when we offer that lamp of our hearts love, the flame of our eagerness to hear, eagerness to chant and longing to love, she will smile. And that smile is the ultimate benediction and entrance into the eternal abode of the Lord.
Lord Krishna appeared in this age of Kali with the mood of Srimati Radharani as Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu who just wants to see that we are willing to fuel that fire, that little spark of our intent to love, we fuel it with the ghee of holy names and service to the Vaishnavas, then He will smile upon us and fulfill that greatest ambition. And Srila Prabhupada explained, even one devotee where that flames burning, that one heart can illuminate the whole world.
