Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue with our reading from Shri Chaitanya Shikshamrita by Shila Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur on the subject matter of Madhuriya Rasa. Our subtopic today is the Gopis. So before we read about Santa Rasa, Dasya Rasa, Sakya Rasa and Vatsalya Rasa.

Now reading about Madhuriya Rasa now we.

Are reading about the Madhuriya Rasa the Gopis. The Gopis who are beloved of Krishna Krishna Vallabha are the support Ashraya Rupa and the basis Alambana of this Rasa There are of two types those in Swakya and those in Parakya Relationship in Vraja the identity of Swakya is not evident In Vraja Parakya Krishna beloveds Krishna Vallabhana are specific of specific recognition. The young women of Braja who reside there with Brajendranandana are mostly Parakiya because without Parakia the most excellent development of Madhura Rasa does not occur due to the connection of relationship connection Samanda Yoga the Rasa of the city born woman Pura Vanita becomes restrained. Through pure erotic connection. Shuddha Kama Yoga the Rasa of the Vraja maidens Vraja Lalana is not restrained and gives greater pleasure to Lord Krishna. Rudra, the connoisseur of Sringara Rasa says that the contrary nature Bam Yata and difficulty of attainment of women Sri Loka which are fixed as restrictive obstacles Nibandana J Nibandaradi okay are themselves the supreme weapons Param Ayudha Swarupa of Kandarpa Cupid Vishnu Gupta is also said the same. When the married woman of Braja Puroda Vrajavasini Gana desire Lalasa to enjoy with Krishna, they naturally become adorned with supreme beauty and the opulence of noble qualities Overflowing with the beauty of love, the sweetness of Rasa Rasa Madhurya the potencies such as Rama Ramadi Shakti Rama Ramadi Shakti does not manifest in such a way. The Vraja Sundaris are three Types Sadaranappara Devi and Nitya Priya the Sadaranappara are of two kinds. Those connected with groups Yautiki and those not connected are Yautiki due to group association Yuta Sanyukta the sages Munigana and the Upanishads Upanishad Ganache become Gopis in Braja as Yauthiki. Those sages who were worshippers of Gopal but could not attain their desired perfection and who upon seeing Ramachandra's beauty strove toward their desired goal. Those who attained their desired mood and took birth in Braja as Gopis the subtle seeing great Upanishads Sukshma, Darshi, Mahopanishad Gana became Sadhana Para by taking birth as Gopi. The Goddesses Devi Gana who by Brahma's order took birth in Vaja for the service of Krishna and those who served him when he descended in partial form in heaven. These are referred to as Devi Singh Braja. They are counted among the Pranasakis of Shrimati Radhika.

In the Dark Russia are giving up all the so called Angela Chasms.

So in Parakya Rasa the Gopis are giving up their so called material attachments.

And express their love and devotion for.

Lord Krishna to express their love and devotion to Lord Krishna and Lord this.

Is when I read the past times how Krishna he avoids the mother in law Radharani.

If you read the pastimes how Krishna he avoids the mother in law of Radharani Jatila and how.

A mother in law? No, So like yeah, she she suddenly appeared on.

With so she suddenly appeared the Kunja when he was with Radharani.

And then he assumed the form of.

Kali and then he assumed the form of Kali.

And then Mother K whatever her name is, she was very happy.

Why you're worshiping Kali So Mother Kutila whatever her name is, she was very happy because she was worshiping Kali.

So all the pastimes of Krishna are very unique.

So all the pastimes of Lord Krishna are very unique and.

Shall we say complicated.

They are little more what shall we say more complicated.

And Saul Krishna likes that.

So Krishna likes that.

And the Swed. Wives of Krishna, the Swakya wedded wives.

Of Krishna like others like Rukmini, Satyabham and others.

Intense thing like there is no like.

This kind of intense things like that they experience in Raja.

So like that some of the rare things are in Raja but not in Raja.

So like that there are some of rare things which are Braja but they are not in Dwaraka.

So anyway.

Anyway to say that among the Gopis in Vrindavan there's three types. There are three types.

I mean some of the great sages and persons they saw the beauty of Lord Ram Chandra. I wanted to marry him or somehow associate with him.

Some of the great sages, great personalities, when they saw the beauty of Lord Ramachandra, they wanted to marry him. Or somehow they wanted to associate with him.

Lord. He said.

So. He said he's Eka Patni Vrati. He only has Sita Devi.

So very hard to Krishna because he doesn't have that restriction.

So they were. They were referred to Krishna because he doesn't have that restriction.

So they took birth as Goldis and Raja.

So they took birth as gopis in Braja.

People who took birth as holies.

So this gives different examples of people who took birth as Gopis.

This is very confidential knowledge.

This is very confidential knowledge. Gayatri.

I'll say. The thing is that why this not discuss so much openly.

See, the thing is that why this is not discussed very much openly.

Because ordinary people consider these things. They don't understand. They think of in terms of material relationship.

So ordinary people who can't understand they think in the terms of ordinary material relationships.

There is no connection.

But. There is no connection.

But relationships is completely spiritual.

These relationships are completely spiritual.

Just like Krishna as Paramatma, he is present in everyone's heart.

Just like Krishna as Paramatma, he is present in everyone's heart.

Millions of hearts. Billions, trillions, zillions.

Millions, trillions. Billions, trillions, zillions. Sorry.

And.

We can't begin to compare ourselves with Krishna.

So we can't begin to compare ourselves with Lord Krishna.

He has unlimited potency, unlimited ability.

He has unlimited potency, unlimited ability.

He wants to exchange love.

He wants to exchange love.

Now in the material world love is not. It's a very tragic thing. So that love is lust.

In the material world, love is a very transient thing. It's not love actually. It's lust.

But Holis and others they want Krishna's happiness.

But the Gopis and others, they just want Krishna's happiness.

And Radharani also said in prayers and she'll do anything to make Krishna happy.

Radharani has also said in different prayers that she would do anything to make Krishna happy. Finish. Okay. Gayatri. Gayatri the mother. The mother of Vedas. Taking birth as a Gopi, attaining the association of Krishna became Kama Gayatri.

Wow.

Wow.

That Kama Gayatri Shaman Mantra. Gaydu Mantra. By Sad Raha.

So the Kama Gayatri is the seven mantra in the Gayatri mantras given by Srila Prabhupada.

Unlimited tender Zenimri disciples have taken the Gayatri mantra.

Only 10% of my disciples have taken the Gayatri mantra.

Since I require that they have to have.

Since I require that they have to have the Bhakti Shastri degree.

And what this Gayatri is so important.

But this Gayatri is so important.

It says Yaiden mantra takes it out of the material world and brings it to the spiritual world.

It says that the Gayatri mantra takes you out of the material world to the spiritual world.

And the Kama Gayatri is said to be Krishna's non different self Mantrapo.

So Kama Gayatri is said to be Krishna's non different self in the mantra form.

So he should chant a Gayatri with great attention.

So we should chant the Gayatri with great attention.

Great attention.

Great attention.

Every word is important.

Because every word is important. Concentrate Krishna people chant the Gayatri. They don't concentrate. And.

As I would say, I want to read more. The Gayatri is so important as we.

See as we read more. The Gayatri is so important.

And of course we cannot chant the Gayatri. We're not chanting Hare Krishna, but we.

Can'T chant the Gayatri. If you are not chanting Hare Krishna.

You'Re not following the regular principles, not.

Following the regulative principles.

So therefore, but at least for one year we have to chant and follow the principles to get a second education.

Therefore, actually Srila Prabhupada instituted at least we follow and the four aggregative principle and chant Hare Krishna for one year before we get the second initiation together.

First initiation, Prabhupada said had to read.

Bhagati the 10 times to get the first initiation. Srila Prabhupada said I have to read the Bhagavad Gita 10 times.

10 times.

10 times.

And then get the second.

And then get the second.

So I was already 13 months.

I was already 13 months.

Oh no, I'm so late.

I was thinking I was so. Oh no, I'm so late.

One month late.

One month late. When I finally got it.

I don't know how people go over years and years I don't know how.

People go for years and years without.

Giving the Gayatri mantra.

Without getting the Gayatri mantra.

I think people should take it very seriously. I should try to get the Gayatri Mantra.

So I think people should take this very seriously. They should try to get the Gayatri Mantra.

What do you think, Marichi?

Dash Marichi Prabhu. What do you think, Prabhu? Very important. Okay. The Vraja affairs conceived in relation to the eternally perfected beings Nitya Siddhagana or faultless. Because Maya is not material Maya Jada Maya only the spiritual potency Chit Shakti Yog Maya has arranged these Braja affairs by the will of Krishna. By attaining Salokya proximity with the eternally perfected ones. Those Upanishads, Gayatri and Goddesses Devi Gana also served Krishna in Parakya mode. Radha and Chandravali who are foremost among them. Those Nitya Priyasakis in Vraja are the shelter of Krishna's beauty, expertise and other qualities. Just like Krishna. When the blissful portion Anandamsa of the Supreme Truth, who is of the nature of Satchitananda, agitates the conscious portion Chit Amsa by. And then from that arise the maidens such as Sri Radha who are distinctly manifested as the expressions of Ladini potency and are imbued with its mood. Prathakrita Hladini, Pratibha Bhavita along with them through his own form, that is his spiritual form chit swarupa. The 64 arts manifest with all of this Sri Krishna who's the soul of all beings. Akhilatma Bhuta eternally performs Leela in Golokadama.

They can understand that the Gaudis those and then Madria Rasha with Krishna.

So we can understand those Gopis, those who are in the Madhuri Rasa with Lord Krishna.

They can understand all the glory more of the glories of Lord Krishna.

They could understand more of the glories of Lord Krishna through their intimate relations. Through their intimate relations.

Great soul is not an ordinary thing. The associated Krishna in this imminent mood is very special.

Great soul. It's not an ordinary thing to be associated with Krishna in this intimate mood and in this intimate pastime.

And I mean achieve this as a really great achievement.

To achieve this is really a great achievement.

No, you can't think of on the slide he breaks some bridge. Really sauce and cigarette or something.

You can't think of breaking some principles.

And then you have to really develop your love and devotion for Lord Krishna.

You have to really develop your love and devotion to Lord Krishna.

And how the be single pointed. You have to be single pointed, intense desire.

You have to have the intense.

I want to serve Krishna, you have.

To have the intense desire. I want to serve Krishna.

This is the essence of Bhakti Yoga.

This is the essence of Bhakti Yoga.

Now we're at I was being attacked by Maya. This is Kalila.

We are all being attacked by Maya. This is Kali Yuga.

She's testing us.

She's testing us.

She's a very great devotee.

She's a very great devotee.

But her job is unfortunate.

But her job is very unfortunate.

She has to test us.

She has to test us.

And we have to pass the test.

And we have to pass the test.

She may test us by giving us salary.

She may test us by giving us suffering.

Or she may test us by giving some allurement.

She may test us by giving us some allurements.

Some sense gratifications.

Some sense gratification or something.

Whatever it is, we have to be determined to serve Krishna.

Whatever it is, we have to be determined to serve Krishna.

And the Godis among all the devotees are completely fixed in this way.

Among all the devotees, the Gopis are completely fixed in this way.

Material life, you want to call it love loss, whatever just lasts for a.

Few minutes in the material life, even if you call love last, whatever it lasts only for a few minutes.

And what these people and the spiritual world.

But these people, the Gopis in the spiritual world, they're thinking of Krishna 247.

And such understand that even the blinking of the eye, they are to such.

An extent, to such an extent even for the blinking of their eyes, the they are cursing Lord Brahma.

How we blink our eyes so many.

Times now we blink our eyes so many times and we don't think of.

Matters once, we don't think about it.

We don't think about matters once, we don't think about it.

How much Gopis are concentrated on Krishna, but even the blinking of the eye is too much for them.

How much the Gopis are concentrated on Krishna. Even blinking of their eyes is too much for them. Ananda Chinmayara Sabprati Bhavi Tabis Tabi R. Yevani Jaru Pataya Kalabhi Go Lo Kayewani Vasatya Kilatma Bhuta, Govinda, Madi Purusham, Tamahamba. I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord residing in his own realm, Goloka with Radha resembling his own spiritual figure. The embodiment of ecstatic potency, possessed of the 64 artistic activities in the company of her confidants, Sakis embodiments of the extensions of a Bodily form permeated and vitalized by his ever blissful spiritual Rasa. In the Skandha, Purana, Prahlada, Samhita and other shastras, names such as Radha, Chandravali, Vishaka, Lalita, Shama Patma, Shaibha, Batrika, Tara, Vichitra, Gopali, Dhanista and Pali are mentioned. So this mentions about Goloka.

So in the west wing of the Tldt Regina on the fourth floor present the spiritual world.

The west wing of the TOVP on the fourth floor, we are trying to present the spiritual world. Prabhupada said to present Devi Dham, Mahesh Dham, Haridham and Golok Dhamma.

So Haridham is where Narayana and vagaries Vishnu avatars are existing.

Haridham where Narayana and various Vishnu avatars are existing.

They are worshipped in honor, servitude and very respectful friendship.

They're worshiped in all and reverend servitude and very respectful friendship.

As well as title friends. It was very personal.

So in Goloka Vrindavan the specialty is the type of friendship is very personal, very equal.

Childhood pastimes are none of us.

So Vatsali Rasa, where Krishna's childhood pastimes are manifested in even in older days.

Of course he always remains a young youth.

Even in his olderness, of course he remains as a young youth.

And then priesting, which is all the Christian Jezil and Rome, they saw God as having a big beard. Old man.

They show in Rome, in one of the chapels they show God with big beard as an old man.

Because he's the oldest.

Because he's the oldest.

But his body is transcendental.

But his body is transcendental.

He always stays eternally young.

He always stays eternally young.

He's not like us.

He's not like us.

I'm an old man.

Like me, I'm a young. You're old man.

I'm 76, right? I'm 76.

76. Turn 77 in Israel in April.

So. But I don't have white hair yet.

So I don't have my beard yet.

I don't have white hair.

I only have white hair.

I don't have white.

Oh, I don't have white hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, it's okay.

Don't have.

So I remember how Bravo was God brothers.

So I don't know how Prabhupada is introducing ourselves to God.

Brother, he said, I still have all my teeth.

I still have all of my teeth. Apparently people, when they grow Old, they lose their teeth.

I still have my teeth.

I still have my. Yes.

Anyway, so it was run us. So all these nails are running.

In the Purana, some of the Gopis names are mentioned.
