Seva paripati

Chapters two, three, and four are invaluable for lila smarananandi sadhakas because they discuss:

• How the Vraja associates conduct their seva to please Krishna's senses;
• The times for each seva and who performs it;
• The types of paraphernalia used in such seva;
• The types of food and drink Krishna likes and how to prepare such items;
• How Radha and Krishna are bathed, dressed, decorated, etc.

Bhaktas hankering to serve Radha and Krishna thrive on these details.

The art of knowing how, when, and where to serve the Divine Couple is called seva paripati. 

Through seva paripati, intimacy with one's worshipable Lord increases. And, as a bhakta pleases Krishna with favorable seva, increased anubhava awakens within his heart.
Anubhava is the subtle realization that enables one to relish transcendental mellows, i.e., the sensitivity to understand the Lord's loving exchanges.

Without knowing the seva paripati, anubhava never awakens.

Because Govinda-lilamrita introduces the reader to Krishna's Vrindavan associates, it is invaluable. And from them, we can learn seva paripati and thus gain anubhava, transcendental perception. Krishna Das Kaviraj is among these intimate Vrajavasis, so the appreciation for his exalted position also leads to advanced realization.

 This is why Sri Yadunandan offers millions of obeisances unto his feet. Sri Narottam Das Thakur also recommends:

vaiṣṇava caraṇa reṇu bhūṣaṇa koriyā tanu
jāhā hoite anubhava hoy

By decorating one's body with the dust of the Vaishnavas' lotus feet, one gets direct experience of the lila. (Prema-bhakti-candrikā)

Now a question arises: "How can one receive the kripa and learn seva paripati from the eternal associates of Krishna who are residing in the spiritual realm?"
The answer is through mAnasa-saNga, "association in the mind." 

Smaran nishtha sadhakas follow the narrations of the Gaudiya acharyas to associate with Vraja's intimate associates within the mind-this is manasa sanga. 

Sri Narottam Das also says:

rādha kṛṣṇa sevon mui jīvane maraṇe
tāra stana tāra līlā dekho rātri dine
je stane līlā kore jugala kiṣora
sakhī-saṅginī hoiytā tāhe bhora

Serve Radha Krishna in this lifetime and in the next by envisioning their pastimes and the places where they unfold. Let us go in our minds to the place where Sri Yugala Kishor reside and serve them in the mood of a sakhi sangini, or female companion of the sakhis. (Prārthanā)

In his Prema-bhakti-candrikA, Sri Narottam further more advises:

sakhīnāṁ saṅginī-rūpām ātmānaṁ vāsanā-mayīm
ājñā-sevā-parāṁ tat-tat-kṛpālañkāra-bhūṣitām

Meditate on yourself as being a sakhi sangini. By carefully following the orders of the sakhis, you will be decorated with the ornaments of their blessings. (Pbc 57)

kṛpālañkāra here means the ornament of mercy.
In some editions, the alternative reading kṛpālañkāra is given, which means that one is decorated with jeweled ornaments like the other sakhis.
