Who is Rupa? Rupa Manjari. Generally the hierarchy
            in the spiritual world is eternal. New recruits can
            occupy a particular rank of manjari, assistant, in madhurya
            rasa. And the leader of the manjaris is Sri Rupa Manjari.
            What is the special feature in the manjari camp which is
            not found among the sakhis, girlfriends of Krishna? First
            there is Radharani, then the camp of Her right-hand
            personal attendant, Lalita. Then, under Lalita, there is
            Sri Rupa Manjari. What is the unique position of the followers
            of Sri Rupa? The new recruits can attain to that
            status. Now, the privilege of this manjari class we are to
            conceive most respectfully and attentively.
            
            When Radha and Govinda are in secrecy, in a private
            place, the sakhis, who are well-versed in the art of 
            that kind of play because they are a little grown-up, do
            not like to approach there to disturb Their confidential
            mixing. If the more grown-up sakhis enter there,
            both Radha and Govinda will feel shy. So their presence
            may create some disturbance. But the younger
            girls can enter there, and then Radha and Govinda
            have no hesitation in free mixing. So in that highest
            stage of the mixing of Radha-Govinda, the free play of
            Radha-Govinda, these manjaris, the younger girls, can
            have admission. But the grown-up sakhis cannot have
            admission there.
            
            New recruits may come up to the manjari class. And
            the manjaris have that sort of special advantage under
            the leadership of Sri Rupa Manjari. So, they get the best
            advantage there, the most sacred type of pure service,
            which is not open even to the sakhis, is open to the
            manjaris. That is found in Radharani's camp. So, the
            position of the rupanugas, the followers of Sri Rupa, is
            the most profitable position. That has been given out
            by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. That has been shown by
            Him, and that is fixed as the highest limit of our fortune
            in Krishna's concern. This is unexpectable, undesignable
            and beyond hope, but our prospect lies there in
            that subtle camp of Sri Rupa Manjari, Rupa Goswami.
            
            So, the camp, the sampradaya of Sri Chaitanya
            Mahaprabhu is known as the Rupanuga Sampradaya.
            There our fate and our fortune is located. Now we have
            to conduct ourself in such a way that naturally we can
            connect with that highest, purest spiritual conception
            from here. We must not allow ourselves to be satisfied
            with anything less than this highest ideal. That should
            be the highest goal of our life. And we must adjust our
            approach from our present position.
