Re: Lila Smarana

Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada in his commentary on Shri Shiksashtakam Verse 5:

"After anartha-nivritti comes nairantarya, or an undeviating steadiness in serving; followed by sveccha-purvika, or voluntary invocation of Lord Krishna's pastimes in meditation and thereby developing spontaneous taste. The next stage is svarasiki, or the spontaneous manifestation of Krishna's unmanifested pastimes without voluntarily desiring it. Only after these three stages, comes the final perfection, that of krishna-prema."

So a little bit of force to voluntary remember the eternal pastimes of Lord Gaura and Lord Krishna is certainly very favorable to Naama Bhajana until we attain the stage when the pastimes arise simultaneously while chanting.

Daaso'smi, Swami Gaurangapada.
