We are being given the blessed opportunity to offer the flame of our sincere desire to serve Sri Sri Radha Madhava with love and devotion. Whatever little spark may be there, “Krishna surya sama maya haya andhkara.” Devotional service can illuminate darkness of ignorance with the desire to serve the Supreme Lord.
Today is Diwali, the festival where the flame of our intention to serve the Lord with love, from within our hearts, being nourished by the ghee of our sincerity, to hear the glories of the Lord, chant the names and the glories of the Lord, associate with the devotees of the Lord, worship the deity of the Lord, serve the holy dham, it will make that light become brighter and brighter and brighter. And all the darkness of ignorance and ego will gradually be dispelled by the positive transcendental grace of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Nice message for Diwali. The flame of the lamp is compared to our desire to serve. Like flame, which illuminates the place, desire to serve the Lord removes our ignorance. Ghee which nourishes the flame is sincerity in hearing, chanting, associate with devotees…
superb explanation and fully intensified aspect of Devotional service as explained by HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj
Our intention in devotional service is of utmost importance. The flame of Love for Krsna will glow brighter and brighter by our sincerity to hear the glories of the Lord, chant, associate with devotees, worship the Lord and serve the Lord and devotees in the Dham.
