Swami Maharaj on November 28, 2024 in Sridhar Mayapuram. Okay, Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will be continuing with our reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita by Shila Sachitananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur Continuation from yesterday. As mentioned in Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu purva Bhaga, chapter 3, verses 4 and 5, the stage of Bhakti is called that stage of Bhakti that is called Bhava, whose essence is that excellent portion of Shuddha Sattva, the transcendental stage beyond the material modes of nature. By the process of executing regulated devotional service, one is actually elevated onto this. Onto this stage. Bhava is like a ray of sun of Prema and it softens the heart. One's heart becomes illuminated like the sun with its light.

So when one's Bhakti rises through the.

Different stages, when one's Bhakti rises through the different stages, through the stage, to the stage of Bhava, he started loving, ecstatic love for Krishna.

Like the sun.

So Prema is like the sun and Bava is like the ray of the sun.

This Bhava or the ecstasy softens the heart.

So this Bhava or ecstasy softens the heart.

Softens the heart with its light.

Softens the heart with its light.

We hope that all of you have reached the stage of Baba.

We hope that all of you have reached the stage of Bava. It's a big task.

Singing about Kajal service or his pastimes or chanting his holy name, thinking about.

Krishna, performing his devotional service, thinking of his pastimes or chanting his holy names.

It is natural for tears to start up in our eyes.

So that's natural for tears to swell up in the eyes.

Different symptoms like hair standing on end.

Different symptoms like hair standing on end to manifest.

Everyone is not feeling this, then maybe they have done offenses.

If one is not feeling this, then they have done offences.

To some devotees, the offenses are pleasant and all the offenses are listed above.

Are listed above. Sorry, Guru Maharaj. As mentioned in the Bhakti Rasaampritta Sindhu Purva Bhaga 3rd wave 1.3.4 to 5 appearing in the mental functions that Rathi Bhava becomes the mental state itself. After the outward appearance of these ecstatic symptoms, they stay within the mind. Though Bhava is self manifested, it appears to become manifested in reality. Though it is essential nature of Bhava is taste itself. It also acts as a cause of tasting the pastimes of Krishna and his associates.

So.

One.

Adheres and one feels ecstatic emotions.

When Baba appears, one feels ecstatic emotions. But they can imagine where they are from.

There's something that's affecting the Atma.

There's something that affecting the atma and it comes out as symptoms in the body. So the devotees should gradually advance and reach the stage of Bhava. Bhava and Prema or Rathi.

Describe like a silver coin.

So in somewhere Baba is described like a silver coin and Prema is like a gold coin.

Since we usually try to hide our.

Emotions, since we usually try to hide our emotions, he may not be understood.

By others what stage we are on.

In what stage we are on. Rara, Prema or Rati, Bhava and Prema or Radhi Baba manifests in the mental disposition and gains the nature of the mental disposition itself. In essence, Baba is self manifested but appearing in the mind. It appears to have been manifested in the mind. Here what is referred to as Bhava is also known by another name, Rati. Though rati is inherently in the form of taste, it is established as the cause of tasting subjects like Krishna. It is to be known here that Rati is a specific state of spiritual substance, not within any material substance. The material attachment of the conditioned soul to material object is merely a pervasive perversion of the spiritual Bhava in relation to matter. When the material is engaged in the service of the Lord. This Rati is a part of Samvit and becomes the cause of tasting all discussions related to the Lord at that time. In the part of Laadini, it personally bestows happiness. Rati is the form of seed for Kalpataru Desire tree of Prema.

Bhakti is stunning the esoteric meaning of Rajiv.

So Satchidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur is explaining the esoteric part of Bhava. Esoteric meaning of Bhava and Rati and the Kalpataru of Prema.

So it's very interesting.

So it's very interesting.

And these topics, it's like if you don't. If you don't realize it, then it's a promise on things that happen.

If you don't realize these topics, if you don't realize it. It's a promise that these things would happen in the future.

Those who have done devotees and religious life, they may feel these spontaneous emotions.

So those who have been devotees in their previous life, they may feel these spontaneous emotions.

And those are devotees resilient in this life.

So those who have become devotees recently in this life.

They may realize Rama later.

They may realize Baba later.

He wants everybody to hands his static symptoms.

Lord Chaitanya he wants everybody to experience these ecstatic emotions.

Someone had to die forced hand in the jail.

Someone might be focused on this material sense gratification. But material happiness is very temporary and transient in nature.

And one is a dancing and surgery life. And the Bharati ecstasies are like more permanent.

When one is advancing in spiritual life, Bhavarati these ecstasies are more prominent.

Assumes this nature.

The mind assumes this things.

So we should be right here achieve this Krishna conscious.

So we should be very eager to achieve this Ka conscious realization. Can we do tomorrow? Can we do tomorrow? Rati is the seat of the Kalpataru desired tree of Prema. When other forms come to aid Rati, then through the connection of Bhava they manifest the tree of Prema. This will be shown with specific example during the discussion of Ratha Tattva Vichar. Rati is the subtle essence of Prema. Rati is very subtle part of Prema beyond which there is no subtle part in terms of its intrinsic nature. Just as number one is one least subtle indivisible unit among or hundred small indivisible units in the number 100. Similarly, Rathi is an indivisible subtle part of Prema Tattva. In Sadhana Bhakti, the emotion like taste, ruchi, faith, shraddha and attachment that were observed are specific fractions of radhi. In the context of various aspects, there is no faith or taste in Sadhana, then the practice is completely futile. The faith and taste mentioned in the Varnashrama Dharma are indeed fractional parts of Rati. But they are perverted sentiments of this fractional part in life. Contrary to ethical norms, these fractional parts of Rati are highly distorted. In a moral life they are somewhat regulated. In a life with God consciousness, they are more regulated yet still somewhat distorted. In the life of a Sadhana bhakta there is no distortion but do due to being fractional parts, they are not whole number. When the life of a Bhava. When the life of Bhava arises, Rati observed as one unit number. When Rati in its Full unit state manifests. The life of the living entity is successful. The person who has attained Rati as a relationship as a relation with the material world till the body is given up.

To reach Baba or Raji.

It's our goal to reach Bhava or Rati.

If one's devotional service giving pleasure there is a such story.

So if one's devotional service is giving pleasure then it's a success story. All the previous pleasure that we were getting from devotional service may be a fraction of Bhava. Raji is one unit and Rati is one unit.

So if this Rati is manifest then life of the Rati is a success.

If Ratti is manifest, then the life of the devotee is a success.

Relationship with the material world is only there as long as one lives in his body.

Then the person's relationship with the material world is only there as long as he lives in the body within the body.

Any relationship where the body is finished.

So when he leaves the body then any relationship with the body is finished. The distortion and the true nature of Rati turning towards the material world is the distortion of Rati turning towards turning towards the material world is the distortion of Rati turning towards the Lord is its freedom from distortion and it is the true nature and its true nature. Rati Obava is is of two types. Sadhana Abhinivesha Jab Bhava Bhava obtained by absorption in Sadhana Prasadaja Bhava Bhava obtained by mercy Sadhana Abhiniveshaja Bhava is further divided into two types. Vaidhi Sadhana Abhinivesha Jabhava Bhava obtained by absorption in Vaidi Sadhana Raganuga Sadhana Abhiniveshaja Bhava Bhava obtained by absorption in Raganuga Sadhana. In the Bhaktira Samrita Sindhu Purva Bhaga 3.7 to 8 it's mentioned due to the division between Vaidi Sadhana and Raganuga Sadhana Bhava is said to be of two types. Now Bhava that arises from absorption in Sadhana will be discussed. Absorption in Sadhana Nishta produces Ruchi taste. Then Asakti attachment and then Rati Bhava for the Lord.

Hans attraction material things as starting rati.

So here it's mentioned that one's attraction to the material world is distorting their bhakti. When the Rati is focused on Krishna.

It'S free from distortion.

Then it's free from distortion. That is the true Nature Bhava is of two types.

Of strict sadhana.

By very strict, very strong sadhana one can develop Bhakti.

And also Bhava. By special mercy.

One can also develop Baba by special mercy.

Sounds like you gotta study the other degree but then somehow get honorary degree pass.

So you study, you get your degree. But some people, they don't study but they get the honorary degree fast. That is Rupanuga. That is Rupanuga Raganuga Sadhana ABHI Niveshaja Bhava. So.

They are absorbed spontaneous, not in the ocean, that's untitled.

If you are absorbed in spontaneous devotion, that's one type of bhava.

So may follow the Sadhana bhakti.

So we may follow the Sadhana Bhakti.

As a normal way of awakening the Bhava.

That's the normal way of awakening the bhava. When one is serving in the Ragnuga bhakti then one may also awaken the Bhava.

Giving these things. This is childhood. True mother.

So Bhakti Vinath Thakur has given the methods. These are the two types of method to awaken one's power.

And so everyone has also royalty.

So everyone is able to do bhakti and they can get Baba by these two methods. One is Sadhana Bhakti Vidhi Bhakti and one Ragnuga bhakti. Due to the division between Vaidhi Sadhana and Ragnuga Sadhana Bhava is said of to be two types. Now Bhava that arises from absorption in Sadhana will be discussed. Absorption in Sadhana Nishta produces Ruchi taste, then Asakti attachment and then Rathi bhava for the Lord. Absorption in Sadhana of a Sadhaka with faith gradually generates a taste for Supreme Lord. This taste by continued absorption in Sadhana later gradually becomes attachment and ultimately matures into Rati. This is a gradual fruitification of Sadhana. The life of Sri Nrada is an example of due to Vaidi Sadhana Abhiniveshacha Bhava generated because of the absorption in sadhana. The mood attained by the lady Raganuga Bhakta as described in the Padma Purana is an example of Raganuga Sadhana Abhiniveshaja Bhava Bhava obtained by absorption in Raganuga Sadhana.

Rati or Baba Bhakti.

So one may awaken the rati of Bhava by Sadhana Bhakti.

Ashakti finally reaching.

Dala then through the steps of Nishta Ruchiya Sakti finally reaching Bhava one night.

Do the Raganuga Sadhana, get Rati and.

Then one may do Raganuga Sadhana and get Rati. You remember about the life of Narada Muni every work. Yes, yes.

Gurmala.

Guruma, they're also requesting you to. We are also requesting you to take Prasadam 8:34 is go. It's okay. So we can go. Baba of the second. Baba of the second type which arises from Raganuga Sadhana is illustrated in the Padma Purana. A young girl fulfilling her heart's desire spent the whole night dancing with Zilla out of love for the Lord. Prasada Ja Bhava Baba obtained by mercy is of two types. Baba produced from the mercy of Lord Krishna. Bhava produced from the mercy of Krishna's devotee. Three type of Ka's mercy. Krishna's mercy is of three types. Vaachika, Verbal Alokadana and Harda. Heartfelt good wishes. Okay. Which one you want? They want all of them for all of you.
