In this lush and luminous class, Rasikananda Swami (affectionally known as Rasik Maharaja) guides us from the earthly imagery of birds and bees to the mystical heights of divine attraction. He reveals how even the most detached sages, the four boy-saints born of Brahma’s mind, were ultimately overcome by the fragrance of pure devotion—drawn irresistibly to the lotus feet of the Supreme. Through tales of Krishna’s supreme magnetism, the maddened love of Srimati Radharani, the transcendental fragrance of tulasi, and the mystic consciousness of saints, we begin to understand how all beauty, desire, and bliss trace back to the all-attractive Lord. This is a journey through layers of reality, from sensuality to soul, where love itself is revealed as the highest path—and where even the bees know to serve at the feet of Sri Radha.
