Krishna Prema. Love of Nandanandan Krishna as and through Radha dasya. Manjari Bhav. Rupanuga bhakti. In other words, Divine love of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, (in His original cow herd boy form of Syamasundar Gopinath) in the mood of the cowherd damsels of Vraj.
Krishna prema (love of Vrajendranandana Krishna) can only be experienced through fallowing the path of Rupanuga, (in the line of Rupa Goswami) Because only Rupa Goswami knows the heart of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
By fallowing in the footstep of the previous Rupanuga Acharyas we can attain Radha dasya, and Krishna Prema, in the mood of the manjaris, (teeny aged girl friends (and servants) of Srimati Radharani)
Those personal maidservants of Radharani (the supreme Goddess) come in the form of our rupanuga Acharyas, and our Gurudeva in an un-broken line of disciplic succession.
In the Nectar of Instruction Rupa Goswami says, "tan nama rupa caritadhi sukritananu, smrityo kramena rasana manasi niyojya, tishthan vraje tad anuragi jan anugami, kalam nayed akhilam ityupadesha saram"
(correct me if I am wrong on the spelling of the verse, thats how I remember it)
This verse is the essence of all instructions, and is the jewel of Vaishnavas. It explains the process of rupanuga bhakti and how to get the greatest gift given by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, through fallowing our Gurus in the disciplic succession of rupanuga Vaishnavas.
I learned this from hearing my Gurudev and reading his books. If anything is incorrect, it is due to my faulty memory and lack of self realization.
Please correct me if I get anything wrong!
(beautiful question by the way)

Explanatory Translation by BRS Swami Gaurangapada:
Verse 139: "When the molten golden-complexioned Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Gauranga-Hari was present and manifest in this world, the whole universe was filled and plunged in the exalted glories of the mellows of pure love for the chanting of His Holy Names and Pastimes. Everywhere there was tumultous and loud congregational chanting and singing of His Holy Names and Glorious Pastimes. Alas! Oh! Will that supremely sweet time ever come again in this world? Yes it will, but only after 8,640,000,000 years since Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu personally descends in this universe only once in one full day (24 hours, one kalpa) of Lord Brahma."

Where was the need for you to harangue and cite sites for reference when you,I and the world knows that despite what Mr.Advani may propose,it is the Supreme Court of India that will dispose.And strangely the SC seems to be fighting shy of deciding on the Ram Janam Bhoomi issue whenever the matter is listed for hearing instead of hearing the case on a day to day continuing basis till the matter is finally disposed of.Looks like there will be no decision for the next 100 years.All one can say is that Mr. Advani is one hell of an optimist.

TRANSLATION
May the Supreme Lord who is known as the son of Srimati Saci-devi be transcendentally situated in the innermost chambers of your heart. Resplendent with the radiance of molten gold, He has appeared in the Age of Kali by His causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most sublime and radiant mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love.
