The following is a Sri Caitanya Sheikh Shamrita class given by His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaj on January 14, 2026 in Sri Ramayapur India.
Hari Om Tatsa Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrata by Srila Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur. Meeting. So I just had a igpo gpoc meeting.
That's iskcon global, probably others.
That's iskcon global property office.
Gpog is the oversight committee and gpog.
Is the oversight committee.
Prabhupada asked me to be a executor as well.
Prabhupada asked me to be an executor of his will.
So was I on the line?
That's why I'm on this meeting.
So, preparing for a report to the gbc.
So we are preparing a report to the gbc.
So now reading the.
Sakirasa.
Okay, Read it.
Okay, sure. Okay. On the subject matter of Sakya Rasa, the novas of Bhava say that all the Vyabachari Bhavas except Aurgya, Trasa and Alasya are present in Prayorasa. I think we have done this also in separation from Krishna, Mother Harsha, Garva, Nitra and Dhriti do not appear and union with Krishna Klama I.e. kalani, Vyadi, Apasmriti and Dinata I.e. dhainya do not appear. Rla Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhakti Rasamitha Sindhu. This behaviour of the friends toward Krishna is described by the thoughtful poets as Vyabichary. In Vyabichari Ecstatic love for Krishna there is sometimes madness, dexterity, fear, laziness, jubilation, pride, dizziness, meditation, disease, forgetfulness and humbleness. These are some of the common symptoms in the stage of Vyabischari. Ecstatic love for Krishna. In this Rasa, the permanent ecstasy, Stai Bhavya is the intimate trust which is devoid of reverence. Deep, familiar trust without restriction is called Vishramba Confidence. This is referred to trust as a trust without reverence.
Sakya Rasa.
So Stai Bhava is the Sakya Rasa.
The tendary Rasas are mentioned here and.
The temporary Rasas are Mentioned here. No.
Prabha generally said what temporary rasas are.
So Srila Prabhupada generally said what temporary rasas are.
Each title devotee each situation.
So Bhakti Vinod Thakur gives us how each type of devotee in each situation. Different transitories, Bhavas or temporary rasas are.
Changed so our bronzers somewhat simplified.
Srila Prabhupada has somewhat simplified it. But.
All these temporary rasas are.
So all these temporary rasas are experienced.
Now in the Laida logo or Haridham there is irreverence even in the friendship.
So not in Vaikuntha Loka or Haridham where there is reverence even in friendship.
But in the Loka. In Krishna Loka there is no reverence.
But in Goloka and Krishna Loka where there is no reverence.
Familiar trust without resurrection.
It's called deep familiar trust without reservation.
And Raja. They don't think of Krishna as the serene person.
They don't think Krishna as the supreme person. They just love Krishna. How many of you would like to love Krishna, Haribo? Another reference From Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu 3.3.105 and 106 translation Stai Bhava of Sakyarasa Rati attraction based on intimate trust between two persons who are equals for the most part is called Sakyarati. This becomes Stai Bhava of Prayorasa Sakyasa. Rla Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu. When there are dealings between Krishna and his friends which are completely devoid of any feelings of respect, and they all treat one another on an equal level, such ecstatic love and friendship is called Stai.
So that's the unique aspect of Braja.
So that's the unique aspect of Braja.
They are just treating each other on.
An eagle or they are just treating each other on an equal level.
Sometimes they say I'll defeat you, I'll rise over you.
Sometimes they abuse Krishna. They'd say I'll defeat you or you're my great might. I'll show you my great might.
And sometimes all the dealings are very evil, very friendly.
So sometimes I mean all the dealings are very equal, very friendly. Okay. Another verse 106 from the same chapter, Deep familiar trust without restriction is called Vishramba confidence. This Vishramba or Sakyarati gradually increases and becomes Pranaya, Prema, Sneha and Raga. Thus Sakya has five types. Rla Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu. When one is situated in this confidential friendly relationship with Krishna, one shows symptoms of love such as attraction, affection, affinity and attachment. In Sakyarati, Pranaya gradually develops into Prema, Sneha and ultimately raga. Even when the qualification of Reverend Sambrahma and so on is present, if vrati is untouched by the scent of reference, it is called Pranaya. So.
Sometimes Krishna does an amazing thing and the friends of Krishna, they may have a scent that Krishna has caught some kind of special power.
So sometimes Krishna does amazing things. And the friends of Krishna, they might have a sense that Krishna might have some amazing power.
And that scent, that aspect of reverence doesn't revere with their bhakti.
If that aspect of reverence doesn't interfere with your bhakti, with their friendship with their friendship, then.
They reach the next stage.
Then they could reach the next stage called Pranaya which is called Pranayama.
So Pranaya to those Pranayama and Pranaya.
Gradually develops into Prema Sneha and means love prayer love. Prema means pure love.
Sn means pure affection.
Sneha means pure affectionate affection. More intense raga is kind of a more intense love for Krishna. Wow. 108, 108 wow. When Sakyavati is completely free of any touch of respect, though there are clear reasons for respect is called Pranaya. Rla Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhakti Rata Sindhu when there is full knowledge of Ka's superiority and yet in dealings with him on friendly terms, respectfulness is completely absent. That stage is called affection. According to Krishna's manifest pastime Prakat Leela separation Viraha is described in this Rasa. However in absolute reality Vastu Tattva, the residents of Braj are never actually separated from Sri Krishna. Interesting point, interesting point.
If we feel Souther Asian Lord Chaitanya.
Prabhupada Krishna, if you feel separation from Lord Caitanya Srila Prabhupada, actually that connects.
Us to those persons.
Actually that connects us to those persons.
So another divide of their association.
So we are never devoid of their association.
And Lord Jaiden taught us to serve the Lord and self rise.
So Lord Caitanya taught us to serve the Lord in separation.
That means we'll be in constant connection with the Lord.
That means we would be in constant connection with the Lord.
Constant connection with the Guru Constant connection with the guru Sometimes the guru is present and I think oh slate either eat I'm hungry.
Sometimes when the guru is present it might think oh it's late I'm hungry I have to eat something Something oh.
I have a dog to my wife.
Oh I have to talk to my wife my husband.
So but in separation the link is.
More constant but in separation the link is more constant Even while you're eating.
Even while you're talking.
Even while you are eating Even while.
You'Re talking you're always thinking about the.
Lord you're always thinking about the Lord.
Krishna left Hastinadur and then Thanos and Rumbali they held a war meeting and.
Rational priority so when Krishna left Asinapur the Pandavas and Draupadi they had a war meeting on a battle as a priority.
What was their agenda?
What was on their agenda?
How we get Krishna's association? How we got Krishna's association?
How we can get Krishna's association?
He defeated all our enemies he defeated.
Our enemies but now he's left.
Out.
Of Hastinapur but now he has left us he has gone out of Astinapur.
So how will we see him again?
How is.
What can we do? This is an emergency. This is urgent so what we will.
Do this is emergency this is urgent.
So they were in the southern region of Russia but there are constant feelings.
So they were in separation with Krishna but they were in constant feeling so.
They never actually separated Lord Sri Krishna.
So actually they weren't separated from Lord.
Sri Krishna so if we adopt this method we'll be never celebrated proud dad.
So if we adopt this method we'd be never separated from Srila Prabhupada, Lord Caitanya, Panchatatva Radha Madhava and the Astasakis.
I'm saying this very very important what.
I'm saying is this is very very important.
We can be completely in touch with Krishna all the time we can be.
Completely in touch with Krishna all the time. Guy go to madhusare guy go to madhusare guy gora madhuri. Janet. Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare.
