Darśan means vision. Gauḍīya darśan means:
- the vision of the soul’s eye after it is anointed with the salve of divine knowledge by Śrī Guru
- the vision of the eye of devotion within the heart tinged with the salve of divine love
- the vision of the Lord’s greatest devotees
- the vision of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and His grace everywhere always.
Developing such vision is the purpose of the teachings presented by Śrī Gauḍīya Darśan.
To further this end we are pleased to open our video stream.
Although the vision of material eyes leads only to deception, we are confident that this facility of ‘seeing’ the vision of the heart described by our Gurus will assit the sincere in their practice of learning to see spiritually, that is, learning ‘Gauḍīya darśan’.
