Material existence is blazing and its flames are jumping high. We have become so accustomed to our position within material existence that we consider it to be a great happiness. The spiritual master is He who makes us realise our true position, an ocean of mercy. The transcendental pastimes here are the life giving elixirs for anyone on the path of devotion to God, given by Srila Narayana Maharaja.
Arcana Dipika teaches us how this service is performed and how to please the Lord through this process of worship. By the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Six Gosvamis and other contemporary followers of Sriman Mahaprabhu, and more recently Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svami Maharaja the process of Deity worship, which is the authentic method of approaching the Supreme Lord, has been successfully introduced to the entire world.
Srila Rupa Gosvami without him no one would have known the inner moods of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, similarly, by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu relishing the moods of Sri Gita Govinda its glories became manifest for the whole world.
