A seminar called “Developing Love for the Holy Name” is conducted by Vaiyasaki prabhu. We’ve often heard Srila Prabhupada say that Rupa Goswami wished for millions of tongues and ears so he could better relish the sound of Krsna’s names. Here’s how it appears in Srila Prabhupada’s Caitanya Caritamrita 1.120.9: tunde tandavini ratim vitanute tundavali-labdhaye karna-kroda-kadambini ghatayate karnarbudebhyah sprham cetah-prangana-sangini vijayate sarvendriyanam krtim no jane janita kiyadbhir amrtaih krsneti varna-dvayi TRANSLATION: “I do not know how much nectar the two syllables ‘Krs-na’ have produced. When the holy name of Krsna is chanted, it appears to dance within the mouth. We then desire many, many mouths. When that name enters the holes of the ears, we desire many millions of ears. And when the holy name dances in the courtyard of the heart, it conquers the activities of the mind, and therefore all the senses become inert.” PURPORT: This verse is included in the Vidagdha-madhava (1.15), a seven-act play written by Srila Rupa Gosvami describing the pastimes of Sri Krsna in Vrndavana.
