20260123 Śrī Caitanya-śikṣāmṛta Class in Śrī Māyāpur, India #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

In this recorded class, His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaj expounds on the devotional mood of Vatsalya Rasa—the parental love for Krishna—detailing its eight satvika bhavas, including stambha (being stunned) and the flow of milk from a mother’s breast, and noting additional emotions such as apasmara (epilepsy). He explains how Vatsalya Rasa differs from other rasas, describing its intensified transient emotions (chinta, vishada, nirveda, etc.) and its permanent relationship (stai bhava). Swami contrasts the material world’s distorted reflection of the spiritual realm, emphasizing that devotional service in Mayapur yields a thousand‑fold benefit compared to Vrindavan. He discusses the significance of mantra practice, especially the Gayatri and the 18‑syllable Krishna mantra, citing scriptural sources like Bhakti‑rasamṛti‑sindhu, Haribhakti‑vilāsa, and works of Srila Prabhupada. Throughout, he encourages continuous chanting, study, and the cultivation of devotional ecstasy, while addressing practical questions about mantra syllable counts and the depth of parental affection in the spiritual context.

Shi Chaitanyamisharam Hariyam so.
Welcome to Navadep Dham.
So welcome to Navadep Dham.
And Radharani played on the flute.
So Radharani played on the flute.
She made us all lay down.
She made the holy dam of NavAdvip.
With Lotus 8 petals.
With the Lotus petals.
8 petals.
8 petals. Eight petals Lotus.
So there's nine practices of devotional source Ashandra and eight petals round nine, so nine.
So nine practices of devotional service. And there's a center and then it has eight petals around Navadiptam. So Krishna was very grateful.
He told Radarani that all the holy places they were just like up and down.
So he told Radharani, all the holy places will come here just like Vrindavan.
Also some places they don't have them. They don't.
So we have thetas like Hari Harashetra and some places which they don't even have in Vrindavan.
Any service you do here you get a thousand times benefit.
So every service you do here you get a thousand times benefit.
All the thousand times higher than that.
But the offenses wouldn't get multiplied by a thousand times. By a thousand times like in Vrindavan.
I encourage the whole line till there as Chaijanya Mahaprabhu.
Here Radha and Krishna, they have combined. They have combined to appear as Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Lord Jai, he was not. He didn't declare himself as Suddenya.
He said Channavata. He didn't reveal himself as the supreme personality of Godhead crushed under the Govardhan hill.
The one hiding that he was the brain person.
So like Krishna, he lifted the Govardhan hill. But Lord Caitanya, he was hiding that he was the supreme person. Krishna lifted the Govardhan hill and he wasn't hiding that he was the supreme person.
Sorry, 26th is the Swazil Day of India.
So 26th is the special day of India Republic day, isn't it? Somehow I thought that today was 25th. Either is one three days more. Okay. Yeah. We can continue Continuing with Sri chaitanya Shikshamrita by S.L.A. sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur Satvika Vikar on the subject matter of Vatsalya Rasa Satvika Vikar the eight satvika transformations beginning with Stamba being stunned along with the flow of breast milk. These nine constitute the Satvika transformation. In Vatsalyarasa we have Achary Babas. Would you like to comment on Satvika?
Because 8 times of external syndrome.
8 types of Satvika bhav. 8. 8 types of ecstatic symptoms.
Crying, laughing laughing, yawning, singing. Why is yawning choked up?
Why is being choked up?
All the age signals plus this all.
The heat symptoms plus this flow of breast milk. Flow of breast milk.
The that's not one of the. That's not 8th satvik. This is additional.
So the 8tvik is one thing and this is additional.
The mothers of Krishna feel so much.
Motherly affection the mothers of Krishna feel so much motherly affection. So that milk comes from their breasts automatically. Vyabachari Bhava all the sentiments mentioned in Preetiras Dasirasa along with forgetfulness apasmara appear in Vatsalya Rasa. So forgetfulness.
All the other. Sentiments mention the Raja Raja.
So forgetfulness is an additional in Varzaleras along with all the other sentiments Vivecari Bhavas mentioned in Dasirasa.
Now that you see, this material world is not just started a reflection of the spiritual world.
So this material world is a kind of a distorted reflection of the spiritual world.
And so the parents here, parents there.
So there are parents here and parents there.
But a lot of the parents and a lot of is like non stop.
Like. But the love of parents of incoloka is non stop.
It's unconditional.
It's unconditional.
Just like seeing Krishna milk comes to.
Their breast Just by seeing Krishna milk comes through their breast.
That's how. That's so amazing.
Something which is very amazing.
Haram in the material world parents may love their children.
So in the material world parents may love their children.
Children grow up, all that.
The children grow up and all that.
How much they love their children I don't know.
But how much they love their children I don't know.
Neighbor ran. It's all inside. His mother told him you were an accident. My contraceptive didn't work.
So one of my neighbor his mother told me you had an accident. My contracept didn't work.
So he grew up so he grew.
Up as a varnishankara.
I don't think he was much loved by his hands.
He didn't get so much love from their parents.
Loved by.
Didn't get so loved by his parents. And.
I mean like when there was playing trash and one of the Chinese. Study got a degree and all that.
So when there was a plane crash, one of the Chinese people's son, he went to America to get some doctor's degree. He died. So the parents were lamenting.
We invested so much money to send our kids into America and we wanted him to maintain us all days. He died.
We invested so much money in our son, sent him to America so that he gets his doctor's degree so that he'll take care of us when we are old. But he died.
This Vatsalaya Rasa not like that.
This Vatsali Rasa is not like that.
She's like stunned. She motionless. When Krishna goes to Mujarat.
So Yashoda, she's stunned, she's emotionless. When Krishna goes to Mathura.
I can't begin to compare. The idea is that things are there in the spiritual world fully.
So we can't really compare the ideas. Things that are there in the spiritual world fully.
But in the material world they're there. But.
So in the material world it is there but it is in different degrees temporary. Vatsalya is the Rati of possessor of compassion. Devoid of reverence towards the object of compassion. This Vatsalya itself is the Stai Bhava of this Rasa. The Vatsalya Rati of personalities like Yashoda is naturally deep. Sometimes it manifests akin to Prema love. At times it manifests as in affection Sneha and at other times as attachment raga.
See, Inside of this Raja is completely afraid of. Reverence.
So it says that this Vyasa is completely free of reverence.
Now in Haridham you have some Sakya with reverence.
In Haridham you can have some Sakya with reverence.
With reverence.
Indasya and Shanta are with reverence.
But here we see no reverence.
But here we see there's no reverence.
I feel that Krishna is my son and my son my charge. And their try to serve him.
They feel that Krishna is my son, is my charge. And they want to serve him by.
Protecting him, by teaching him, by caring.
For him, by protecting him, by teaching him, by caring for him.
So.
Their ecstasy manifests praying Raga.
The ecstasy manifests Prema raga. Sneha, Sneha.
Love. Attachment.
That means love, affection and deep attachment.
I mean try to understand that everything we've seen in the jail world. It is the started rejection. A real thing, a real love. What we want, what we're hanging for is there in the spiritual world.
So try to understand. Whatever we see in this material world is kind of a distorted reflection of whatever is there in the spiritual world. Whatever we want, whatever we hanker fo, it's all there. He in the spiritual world.
We have son of Alexandra, our parents, they have some affection for their son daughter.
So normally we might have some affection for our parents. They might have some affection for their sons, for their daughters. But it's partial.
Not as deep as this.
But it's not as deep as this.
Spiritual rasa Rasa Spiritual rasa Vatsalya rasa. So everything there spreads the world as honest is reflected here.
So everything, everything that in the spiritual world to some extent it is reflected here. Bhaktira Samrita Sindhu 3.4.4. 45, 49, 52, 53 Satvika Bhavas. The Satvika bhavas of Vatsalya bhakti rasa are eight. Starting with stamba being stunned as well as the flowing of milk from the breasts of the woman Vivachari Bhavaschari bhava. The Vachari bhavas of Vatsala bhakti rasa are the same as those Preeti bhakti rasa with the addition of apasmara, epilepsy. Stai Bhava. Stai Bhava, the rati of a person dispensing compassion towards a worthy object devoid of reverence and so on is called vatsalyarati. This vatsalyarati is said to be the stai bhava of Vatsalya Rasa. Vatsalyarathi of Yashoda and some other elders is naturally very deep. It appears to be on the level of prema, sneha and raga at the time of separation. Although there is possibility of many, many transient emotions, we have the cherry bowers only contemplation, Chinta moroseness, Vishada disappointed, Nirveda, loss of memory, Jajya humility, Dhynya impudence, Chapalata madness, unmadha and bewilderment become intensified. So stai bhava, that's a permanent relationship. Someone is in Vatsalyarasa, that's their stai bhava. The Ravachari bhavas are the Baba that changes that come and go.
So although it says that the same transient rasas.
So it says the same transient rasas are there in The Dasi Rasa Sakirasa but in Vatsali Rasa it's more intensified. So some of the examples are given here.
See this is a real science relationship with high approach relationships, transit emotions.
So now you see this is a science relationship with Krishna Rasas it's a science so we have this transient emotions, fixed relationship.
What other religion path gives us this much detail?
I mean what other religions other paths give this much details?
I was reading every night I read so in the I asked, I wanted to.
Karma Gayatri so every night I'm reading so I ask them so I want to read about the Kama Gayatri so because. So I thought it's a very nice exercise.
By Rolandananda Saraswati.
So there's a book by Prabhodananda Saraswati and various different books mainly translated by Banu Swami and.
Others and Vishnu Chagarji and said the Kamaraji 24 and a half so Vishwana.
Chakrati Thakra says that Kama Gayatri has 24 and a half years.
No, no he didn't say Krishna is.
All around side sorry Krishna Daska Viraj says the Kama Gayatri has 24 and half syllables in Chaitan Charitamrata but he.
Studied the syllables again and again and he got all those 25 so he.
Studied the syllables again and again he always got 25 so then he thought.
I can't understand how there's 24 and.
A half so then he thought I can't understand how there is 24 and a half.
Are they licensed? Kill myself?
I think I should kill myself if.
I can't chant the mantra right I won't get Krishna if he said that.
If I can't chant the mantra right then I don't get Krishna. I won't get Krishna.
Like this is by the Radha Kunda.
So like this he was by the Radhakunda Then.
He dozed off or something.
And then he dozed out or something.
And Radharani appeared to him and then.
Radharani appeared to him, told him that.
There are 24 and a half syllables.
And told him there are 24 and.
A half syll vegetables 24 and a half moons.
Krishna has 24 and a half moons.
So in the mantra they said Kamaya ya is the half okay?
In the mantra there's a syllable ya and that is half moon.
You don't have the Kama Gaitri yet. You don't know what I'm talking about.
If you don't have the Karma Gayatri yet you don't know what am I talking about.
I was reading the. What do you call High Bhakti Villas.
And.
That also goes right there. Ryan Randra.
I was reading the Haribhakti Vilasa that's also glorifying about Narayana Mantra, Nirsinga Mantra, Rama Mantra.
They take you to Hari Dham.
They take you to Haridham.
Only the Ka Mantra takes you to Krishna Loka.
But only the Krishna Mantra takes you to Krishna Loka.
So we chant Hare Krishna again and again.
So we chant Hare Krishna again and again.
That takes away that purifies us, takes away the bad influence of Kali Yuga.
That takes away, purifies us, takes away the bad influence of Kali Yuga.
And you can see the.
Gayatri Mantra. So that we can receive the Gayatri Mantras.
Gayatri means detaches from the material world and transfers to the spiritual world.
Gayatri means to detach us from the material world and transfer us to the spiritual world.
So many of my disciples, they don't have the second initiation yet.
So many of my disciples, they don't have the second initiation yet.
By chanting Hare Krishna good enough.
But of course by chanting Hare Krishna that's good enough.
But Gayatri, it's faster.
If you have Gayatri, it's faster.
Haribhakti villas glorifies the 18 syllable Krishna mantra.
So the Haribhakti Vilas glorifies the 18 syllable Krishna Mantra.
So I wondered how to get that.
I wondered how to get that.
And then that's 600 gave us in the Gayatri mantra.
So that's the sixth mantra Srila Prabhupada gave us in the Gayatri Mantra.
So. Bhabhu give us sadness and people don't take it. No, they don't know. I read the books.
Prabhupada gave us so much. But people don't know. They don't take it seriously. They don't read Srila Prabhupada's books.
So. Devotion is Bhati Rajavnetta Sindhu in English written by Ruhos.
So Bhakti, the nectar of devotion, Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu. It's written by Rupa Goswami.
So this is. All the wonderful things that we see in the book sometimes called Savati Rajavida Zuru many times.
So all the wonderful things that we see in these books are from Nectar of devotion Bhaktira Samrita Sindhu. This book quotes Bhaktira Samrita Sindhu Nectar of devotion. Many times.
People do Their job, right on the bus, right in their car.
It's not like people.
Constant exercise there.
So it's not that people. What did you say?
I said what I said.
I'm so sorry.
Where do you want to start? People, People. They do all those activities all the time.
People do all these activities. It's not that they do. They are in ecstasy all the time.
Sometimes maybe.
Sometimes maybe a little bit.
Sometimes a little suffering.
Sometimes little suffering.
But the devotees, even in their disappointment, they all kind.
So these devotees, even in some disappointment, they are always in ecstasy. All the times they are in ecstasy.
It'S like a non stop thing. Always thinking about Krishna in a particular rasa.
I mean it's a non stop thing. Always thinking about Krishna in a particular rasa. Bhaktira samitas in the 3 4th 64. Though many Vyavachari bhavas are possible in Vatsala Rasa during Vioga separation, only Chinta anxiety and Vishada lamentation, Nirveda frustration, Jayatiya being stunned, Dhynya humility, Chapallya restlessness, Unmadha madness and Moha illusion are prominent.
The body is also the silo transcendental emotion.
So whether with Krishna or separated from Krishna, the devotee is always experiencing transcendental emotion.
Material things are just imitation, I think.
I mean material things are just imitation, I think.
That's like you're a woman, that's like the young man, this is like your man, that's like real woman.
So maybe this is like a man, this is like a woman. This is like a man, this is like a woman.
All things are temporary.
I mean all things are temporary.
But these devotees, their relationship with Krishna is eternal.
But these devotees, their relationship with Krishna is eternal.
And when they turn to emotions, it actually gives spiritual list.
When they experience different emotions, it actually gives spiritual bliss.
I mean, sound incredible, but it's like that.
It sounds incredible, but it's like that.
And then maybe. Salvation of Krishna. And I think they're suffering. But actually that lamentation in spiritual orientation is real.
So when they, when they lament, you think that they are suffering. But actually that lamentation is spiritual lamentation. Actually they are connected with Krishna.
All right.
All right. Thank you. Okay. Guru Maharaj is blessing all of you. Krishna Matiras too.
