  The Glories of Sri Purusottama Month by Srila Saccidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura Two divisions of  sastra — smarta and paramartha The Vedic  arya-sastras  are divided into two sections— smarta  (literature based on  smrti ) and  paramartha  (transcendental literature based on  sruti ). Those who are eligible ( adhikari ) for the  smarta  section do not have any natural inclination or taste for the  paramartha-sastras . The thoughts, principles, activities and life goal of every human is constituted according to his respective  ruci  (inclination). Generally,  smartas  accept those scriptures which are in accordance with their respective  ruci . Having greater  adhikara  for  smarta-sastra,  they do not    demonstrate much regard for  paramarthika-sastra . Providence is the agent behind the creation of these two divisions. Therefore, undoubtedly the maintainer of the world must have a hidden purpose in having made such an arrangement. As far as I understand, the purpose is that the  ji

Swami Haridas(guru of tansen) did years of aikantic nirjan bhajan in nidhivan, a raasasthali in vrndavan. Being pleased with him Sri Sri Radha and Krsna appeared before him to give saakshaad darshan and gave a boon he wished to ask for. He quickly said...My dear lords both of you'll are soooo very beautiful and attractive that my eyes are in capable of holding the rasa of your nectarean forms. When I look at Krsna, I find Radha very beautiful.....but when i look at Radha, she herself is lost in the unlimited beauty of Vrajendranandan Shyaamsundar Swayam Bhagwan Sri Krsna! Hence my lords, my only request is that if you both could combine into 1 form then i can keep gazing at your supremely incomparable form without any distraction! Seeing the great love and devotion of Swami Haridas, the two transcendental youths of Vraja immediately merged into 1... and the deity of Sri Banke Bihariji appeared!!!! Hence its not sculpted or carved...but is a swayam bhu(self manifested) form of the l
