Radha gopal gopal swami temple

Nice kirtan inside then outside morning program.
PASTIMES-
This place known as-champak vana.
Eg In bangalore-a dham-champaka dham-champakrai swami diety.
In this vana, sages do tapasya.
A sage -vahini muni, 5000years ago, cery exalted tapasya.
2 sons-they also by guidnc of muni n lord -perfected in tapasya, they ibformed dat lord is in dwarka.
So they left to dwarka to take lords darshan. They took bath in many kundas,  worshiped many diety in their way, they met narada muni.
Narada muni informed them dat lord wound up his purpose here in this material world and went back.
Purpose-paritray sadhunam vinashaya ca duskritam, so all envious person arranged im one place-kurukhetra n den killed in battle of mahabharata + enough subject matter/pastimes performed by lord for devotees to remember.
So after hearing this from narada muni both sages (sons) they were heart broken. So narada muni told them to do devotional service nd promised that lord will manifest. So this vana they did severe tapasya and then lord manifested. Lord asked for benediction by being pleased, so they requested-
To witness all the pastimes of lord that he did in childhood and boyhood and youth, so krsna for pleasure of his devotees he rein-acted all those pastimes (pics are still there on the wall). So, they both witnessed all the pastimes. So they worried that after all pastimes lord will leave, so dey wanted lord to stay. So lord manifested and stayed here as radhagopala diety.
The two sons could always see all the pastimes by special mercy of lord (visions).
2. Similarly, devaki mother asked same benediction bcoz she did not got chance to witness all childhood pastimes. So krsna fulfilled her desire then she wanted to remember these pastimes always so krsna manifested as deity and told her to worship that deity it will fulfill all her desires to remember pastimes.
3. Similarly, rukmini saw devaki always ecstatic asked her how? then she got to know about her secret and she also desired to see all the pastimes of krsna in childhood, by lords mercy devaki told her the secret and she also got benediction from krsna.
Two dieties present here:
1. Navnita swami
2.Santanagopala (those wanted sons come to pray here)-so sampati prabhu prayed to lord that please bless us with many many krsna bhakta santana (sons).
4. Ramanujacharya did dandavat prikrama from his home to spiritual masters home, his spiritual master told him that you are not ready yet for instruction come later. So similarly, 17 times he did this.
Then guru told rahasya instruction, that  this will take you to spiritual world, but if u reveal this to anyone u will go to hell.
He went to top of the altar and told everyone of this village.The secret was to chant holy name of the lord.
His Guru could not digest this , he said stop !stop !!, how could you do this, u dont hv fear of going to hell.
So he replied, i see these people rotting here in this material world (dukhalayam ashashvatam) so i want them to go to spiritual world, let me go to hell.
Such was the heart of the great devotee ramanujacharya who was a great preached of his time (1000 years ago) , he had 10000 dedicated initiated disciples, 12000 householders disciples and more than 5000 sannyasi disciples. He preached krishna consciousness everywhere in india.
So, such things needed to be done to get the secret , ramanujacharya set this example, but our spiritual master so merciful freely he distributed, but if we still dont follow then how unfortunate we are.
Mercy freely available and given by compassionate guru but if we still not accept.
