Prema Rasa Madira-Siddhanta Madhuri BAU 2.4.5 & TU 2.7.2

[Guest guest]

Namaste all.

 

Another scriptural declaration in this regard:

 

"raso vai saH rasaM hyevAyaM labdvA ''nandI bhavati"

 

- Taittiriya Upanishad 2.7.2

 

"The Supreme GOD HIMSELF IS BLISS.

IT IS ONLY BY REALIZING HIM THAT

THE INDIVIDUAL CAN BECOME BLISSFUL."

 

Jaya Sri Radhey!
