THE ESSENCE IS THE SAME

     I offer my respectful obeisances to Krishnananda's son, Shri Shyamananda. Leaving behind their homes and opulences, the liberated souls, souls desiring liberation, and even the materialists now yearn to taste the nectar of Lord Krishna's sweet and graceful pastimes, pastimes that have risen from the nectar ocean of Shri Shyamananda's actions.  
SHYAMANANDA SHATAKA OCEAN 3 TEXT 22 BY RASIKANANDA DEVA

Meena Devi Dasi: Just a couple of minutes ago we were reading about the glories of Srimad Bhagavatam. The Bhagavatam is conversations about Krishna... Lord Vishnu and it covers quite a lot of territory. The conversations between the devotees there are very different from the conversations that take place in Chaitanya lila although they're talking about the same Krishna. But the mood of the conversation is very different. 

It was kind of shocking going from reading from the mood of Bhagavatam a couple of minutes ago and then... whoosh... we're over here with a whole different mood of how the devotees are relating to each other. Like in the Bhagavatam you've got Sukadeva goswami and Maharaja Parksit and they're conversing about the goal of life which is to become conscious of Krishna. They're interacting... hearing and chanting... and then you come into Chaitanya lila and it's a whole different quality of intimacy, intensity and sweetness. I was just appreciating at least that much, anyway.

Gauraharidas: Personally, I don't see it as any different. I see the essence is the same. I'll point out something here:

     ...the liberated souls, souls desiring liberation, and even the materialists now yearn to taste the nectar of Lord Krishna's sweet and graceful pastimes, pastimes that have risen from the nectar ocean of Shri Shyamananda's actions.

So, Narada Muni's actions... He was going to sit and recite Srimad Bhagavatam. It's an action of a devotee... and who benefits? Even those puffed up Brahmans... they came, somehow or other they got there to hear and drink this nectar. And even danavas and demons... materialists...danavas and demons. These devotees are so empowered that they attract everybody. So respectful and so humble...they attract everyone...to hear. So it's basically...to me I see it as the same. It's just one is maybe using different words and it might be a different rasa if Bhagavatam is being recited in a certain way. Depends on what canto one is reading.

This devotee, I'm sure he was reciting Srimad Bhagavatam but also emphasizing the sweetness of the bhavas in Vrndavan and attracting people to that sweetness and not just to the opulence. 
Anyway, I see it as basically the same. I don't see any difference.
