Bhaktivinode Thakur explained how Brahma looked into his inner spiritual nature and received guidance from the Universal Spirit. Similarly, Vyas was inspired to write the Bhagavat Puran. Bhaktivinode said we can do the same when we spiritualize our lives. He advised seeing everything as spiritual and living in continual union with the divine. Natural devotion to Radha-Krishna is the way.
Steve Bohlert claims his writing of Universalist Radha-Krishnaism was similarly inspired. He represents Bhaktivinode’s lineage in the West by the empowerment of Lalita Prasad Thakur.
