20250415 - First Stream — General analysis of the mellows - part 3

Krishna Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from 7th 7th right 7th stream. The subtopic is Sai Bhava. First let us examine the concept of Stai Bhav. The Bhava that dominates and controls all other Bhavas is called Staibhav as mentioned. Stai Bhav as mentioned in Bhaktiva Samruta Sindhu 2.5.1 to 15 that Bhava which controlling other favorable and contradictory Bhavas presides in the manner of an efficient ruler is called the Stai Bhav. In this context, the rati directed towards Ka is called those knowledgeable in Rasa say that there are two types of Mukhya and Gauna, primary and secondary Mukharati Primary primary rati rati I.e. shuddha Sattva Visheshatma composed of Shuddha Sattva, the combination of Ladini and Samvet Shaktis is called Primary Rati. This primary rati also takes two form Svaartha for its own purpose and Paraartha for another's purpose. Svartha Mukhyarati. That primary rati which clearly nourishes itself with non contradictory Bhavas and becomes intolerably depressed with sorrow by contradictory Bhavas is called Svartha Mukherathi nourishing itself Parartha Mukeerathi the same primary rati that restricting itself favors both non contradictory and contradictory Bhavas which then become prominent. It is called Parartha Mukherati nourishing others Bhavas A primary Rati in these two forms, Svartha and Tavarta has five varieties. Shuddha, Shanta, Neutrality, Preeti, Dasya, Sakya, Vatsalya and Priyata Madhura. The Reti takes on a specific type, one of the five according to the individual nature of the devotee. Just as the sun takes on various forms when reflected through crystals and other items, the rati takes on various forms when manifesting in different individuals. Shuddha Vathi oh my God, so much. The first rati is called Shuddharati has three types Samanya common Swachha transparent and Shanta peaceful. It produces symptoms like quivering of the body and closing and opening of the eyes. Samanya Shuddha Rati the rati for Krishna manifested in ordinary people, girls and so on are called Samani Rati or ordinary Rati. It does not have any distinguishing qualities. An example O friend, please tell me why my mind like bee wax has become very Soft it is because the beautiful Sun Krishna has risen in front of me on this street of Mathura. Another example. O old woman, just look at that three year old girl. Seeing Krishna in front of her, she's running after him and calling out. When Rati manifests many varieties. Because the practitioner associates with various types of devotees and performs various sadhanas, it is called Swachha Rati. When a devotee's rati, like a clear crystal, becomes similar in nature to the rati of the devotee to whom he is attached, it is called Swachharati. An example, O noble and religious Brahmana, sometimes praised the Lord as Master, sometimes joked with him as a friend, sometimes protected him as his son, sometimes delighted in him as a lover, and sometimes meditated in his heart on the Lord as Paramatma. In this way, by various modes of service, he was assuming various dispositions. The hearts of those very pure persons who adhere to scriptures and are not absorbed in the joyful ocean of a particular rasa generally developed. Oh, there's Srila Prabhupada's translation to this entire thing. Shall I read this first? Okay. He could have kept Prabhupada's translation, Srila Prabhupada's translation for this entire thing. The continuous ecstasy of love love. It can remain like a powerful king, subduing all temporary manifestations of love as well as any opposing elements of anger. It can be exhibited directly or indirectly. And thus ecstatic love can be described as direct or indirect. The symptoms of ecstatic love are possible only when one is fully situated in transcendental position. Direct ecstatic love can be divided into two groups, namely selfish and selfless. When the non contradictory symptoms of ecstatic love are distinctly manifest, any contradictory symptoms create a sense of abomination. Contradictory ecstatic love is called selfish. That ecstatic love which can adjust all contradictory or non contradictory symptoms is called direct selfless love. These selfless symptoms can again divide into five neutrality, servitude, fraternity, parenthood and conjugal love. Such ecstatic love assumes a particular mood in contact with different objects of love.

And Bharpa are discussing very advanced topics of Lord for Krishna.

So here Bhaktived, Thakur and Prabhupada, they're discussing very advanced topics on love of Krishna. So.

This may not be understandable to everyone.

This may not be understandable to everyone.

But it's very real and bringable.

But it's very real and applicable.

You see, this tells us how a student love, how Bhava Rati is manifest.

So this tells us how ecstatic love Bavarati manifests Hanan some of the different forms it takes and some of the different forms that it takes.

So these are things, these are emotions that are experienced by devotees.

So these are things, emotion that are experienced by devotees.

And so we want all the devotees to gradually advance so we want all.

The devotees to gradually advance to experience all these Rati Bhavas and all those things.

But to do that you have to be really absorbed in Krishna Bhakti.

But to do that you have to be really absorbed in Krishna Bhakti.

And.

You know.

This is, I mean, Prabhupada would sometimes say thanks to a particular devotee, very confidential.

So Srila Prabhupada would sometimes say a particular thing to a devotee, very confidential.

And so you want that the Lord is very deep in the original Bhakti Vasamrita Sindhu.

So we want the devotees to dive deep in the ocean of Bhakti Vasamrita Sindhu.

How many of you want to diabete.

Harry Bol? By your mercy, Shila Guru Maharaj?

See, I would just reassure because I heard when I presented.

Things has to be reassured when I presented different quotes from Srila Prabhupada to a group of devotees.

One person, I don't know anything about it. I was just told only one.

I don't know how many people, but I was just told only one.

He was saying Dik Sagaru takes all the karma.

He was saying Diksha Guru takes all the karma. It's very difficult. So I just want to be a Sikh sugar.

Then I was taught that majority of that rule then feel this way.

But I was told that majority, majority of the group didn't feel the same way.

So they are moving ahead.

So they are moving ahead.

I think Rah rah. That also ladies Guru, the guru and he said how they should get Bhakti Ranta degree.

So I think Prabhupada said ladies also should be guru and they should get the Bhaktivedanta degree.

1975 all my disciples went on red one.

And he said maybe by 1975 all my disciples, men and women, they all would be gurus.

But not many devotees are real here. But not many devotees have taken up this idea to study Prabhupada books.

A few are here, but not many devotees have taken up the idea to study Srila Prabhupada's books.

Unfortunately I got my Bhati Vedanta degree.

Fortunately I got my Bhaktivedanta degree.

Saravola.

Some devotees, they told me that they are also going for the Bhakti Sarabha decree.

Nice. Everybody gets qualified and how rob books it'd be nice.

Everybody gets qualified in Srila Prabhupada's books.

Write so well.

You see, because of stroke I'm not able to write so well.

But I can hear and understand how the different codes, different shastras.

So but I can hear and understand different codes from different shastras.

Has published a help.

So now the BVT in Bombay has published an app called Transcend called Transcend.

In all the Indian languages in all.

The Indian regional languages, English, including English.

So I can hear a scripture and take an oral test so one could.

Hear the scriptures and take oral tests.

Even if they can't write.

Even if they can't write.

I mean reading I think it's useful.

Reading, I think it's useful.

Like typically take a exam even if they don't know how to read.

But they can technically take an exam even if they don't know how to read.

If they hear.

If they hear.

Right.

Yeah. Yeah. Who's Brajeshwar Prabhu is already conducting the course. That's what he's saying. Yeah, he's already conducting what course are you conducting? All of them. So who's going to take that? So who's going to take that? Who's already taken it? Who wants to take it in the future? We just mentioned. Didn't. Didn't you hear that? Bhakti Shastri, Bhakti Vaibhava, Bhaktivedanta. You heard that, right? Yeah, that's the one. So if you could experience Srila Prabhupada's teachings, Lord Chaitanya's teaching the Srimad Bhagavatam, then there would be a lot of devotees. So there are gostyanandis and Bhajanandis like to get liberation. So Bhajanandi like to get liberation.

And they just do bhajan.

And they just do bhajan.

Want to increase the number of devotees.

But the Grishti Anandis, they want to increase the number of devotees.

Result. I relat here as a student in the demons Gurukul.

So like Bahlad, he was a student in the demons Gurukul but he preached.

To the other students.

But he preached to the other students when the teachers were out. And then they started chanting and dancing.

So then Narayanadev came to Zainab and.

Then Narasingadeva came to save him.

He went to a place.

So he went to a place in Tamil Nadu near to Madurai.

And there they sat.

There. They said that Hiranyakashipur, he couldn't go.

They went there and they discussed how to kill Karen, Hashmur, Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu.

They met there and they discussed how to kill Hiranyakashipur. That was where Ramanuja got initiated. That place is. That's called as Goshtipura in Tamil. It's called as Tirukoshti.

And I told this yesterday. I told this a few days ago.

I told this few days ago. So.

This first bhava is neutrality.

The first bhava is neutrality. Oh, okay, okay. The first one is neutrality. Neutrality can be further subdivided into general, transparent and peaceful. An attraction for Krishna. Yeah, yeah, we are starting here. No, no, no, this is the first one. Yes. An attraction for Krishna by people in general, by children, cannot take any specific or satisfactory position. It can be manifest sometimes in trembling of the body and changing of the color of the eyes to red, white, etc. Although there is no symptom of any particular affection. One old man was told by a young man, just see how this child, only three years old, is so jubilant simply by seeing Krishna. He is running swiftly, making tumultuous sound. Just see. This is an instance of neutral ecstatic love in the heart of a child without any specific subdivision. Due to different types of attraction for Krishna, there are different varieties of devotees. Their symptoms are manifested transparently, just like jewels. It is said that a great devotee Brahmana would sometimes address the supreme personality of Godhead as Master and sometimes joke with the Lord using different kinds of familiar words. Sometimes he would protect the Lord with a paternal affection. Sometimes he would cry out to the Lord, addressing the Lord as his beloved. And sometimes he would meditate on the Lord as the super soul. This means that the Brahmana expresses ecstatic loving symptoms in different ways at different times. But in each instance, because of ecstatic love, the Brahmana merged himself in the ocean of happiness and became situated in pure love. Thus he was a transparent medium, just like a jewel that shows reality in varying colors according to its own nature.

So isn't we always thinking about Krishna?

So we should be always thinking about Krishna and his expansions, his pure devotees.

And in this way we absorbed in the past times Lord Joshua.

And this will be absorbed in the past times of Lord Krishna.

So by these little examples here we see how some advanced bodies do this.

So by different examples here we can see how some advanced devotees do this.

Sahur is in different modes.

At different times he was in different moods. At different times.

He became situated pure love.

And he became situated in pure love.

So he was like a transparent jewel that shows reality in various colors according to its own.

So he was like a transparent jewel that shows reality in varying colors according to its own nature. Rati. The rati that is observed in an individual who has awakened Bhava, when it becomes exclusive possessiveness for Ka Mamaka and becomes deep to a certain extent, then it can develop into Staibha, permanent sentiment suitable for Rasa. Although this rati transcends its specific limit meaning it advances from an unmixed single sentiment to enter the realm of Prema, it is still referred to as rati. This is because Prema, by its very nature of infinitude is also always recognized in the state of rati. Okay, sorry. Not always recognized in the state of Rati. Please forgive me. In some circumstances, Prema absorbs the peak of rasa, Peak of Rasa and becomes evident. Therefore, if it is said as Taibhav, then it is understood to be rati. Whether the individual in whom rati has arisen is a sadhaka practitioner or a siddha perfected being, they are eligible to relish Rasa. Here the use of the term Sadhaka indicates that rati has arisen in a person. But the obstacles unearthed have not yet been completely eradicated. They are considered sadhakas or those aspiring for the substance Prema, Prema Rurukshu as Nishta, steadiness, richi taste in Asakti attachment arise and arthas gradually disappear. Even when Jada Shakti material attachment is removed. As long as the material body exists, there remains material association. Through Ka's mercy, this is very quickly eradicated. This material association is called an obstacle vigna. As long as obstacles exist, the Jiva does not attain Vastu Siddhi entering eternal pastimes of Ka in the spiritual world. In the spiritual body. However, when rati achieves the state of Prema, becoming eligible to relish Rasa, then the perfection of one's eternal relationship with the supreme Lord Swarup Siddhi happens.

So. And as a sign there.

So this swaroop siddhi is explained here.

And how the Anathas are washed out.

How the Anarthas are washed out. Anarta, Nivruti, we wash all the we wash out the anarchists.

The tribes of Raji or Rawa went on reaches even before. Before Prema.

The types of ratti or bhava that one gives even before Prema.

They Are amazing.

They are really amazing.

And so yeah, trying to relate. But these are actually realized as a little power.

So we are trying to explain realize Stai Bhava and all those things. But these things are realized. What was the last partial Guru Maharaj.

In the level of Rati Before Prema.

Before Prema.

So when we met completely be eligible to enter into Krishna's pastimes.

One may not be completely eligible to enter into Krishna's pastimes.

A child has a reaction at one's eternal relationship with the saving heart. Surubha City happens gradually.

One's eternal relationship with the supreme Lord the Swarup Siddhi happens.

So these are very advanced things that Bhakti Nath Thakur is explaining.

So these are very advanced things that Bhakti Vinod Thakur is explaining.

I heard that even the Vati Sananda Chakra Prahas disciples said that they can't understand Radhiyana Thakur's teachings.

I heard that Srila Bhakti Siddhartanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada's disciples said that we can't understand Bhaktived Thakur's teachings.

So we need to hear them explain.

Why Rajeshananda So they need to hear them explain. My Bhakti is Danta. Explained by Bhakti Siddhanta.

They got me.

So they got me. Or eat this. All this. All these are very advanced topics.

Said how our advancement is gradually going.

Up like Bhakti Vinod Thakur said how our advancement is gradually going up towards Prema.

So that means we should be very serious.

That means we should be very serious. They look serious. Okay, Guruj also today's Nava Bocher Bengali New Year today nobody gave me any pita's cakes.

They have their wives on coconut cakes.

All the grass says the wives. They can cook them cakes.

I heard Ronsia last year I get all my cakes.
