20260219 - Caitanya Śikṣāmṛta, Seventh Stream — Conjugal Bhakti-rasa_Part_11

In this live class, the teachers (Speaker A and Speaker B) continue their study of Sri Caitanya‑śikṣāmṛta, focusing on the conjugal love (Madhurya‑rasa) between Krishna and the gopis. They explain the intricate theological framework of messengers (dhūti), detailing their classifications (swayam‑dhūti, apta‑dhūti), the nature of complaints (abhi‑yoga) and mockery (vyāṅga), and the roles of various divine agents such as sakhis, artists, and ascetics. The lecture enumerates the sixteen specific activities performed by the sakhis, describes the four categories of sakhis (priya, swapakṣa, tatasṭha, pratipakṣa) and their relational dynamics with Radha and Krishna, and outlines how these activities express the various rasas (daśarasa, sakhya, vātsalya, madhurya, śānta). The teachers also discuss the emotional spectrum within Madhurya‑rasa, including praise, mockery, criticism, and protective parental attitudes. The session concludes with community announcements: gratitude for book‑distribution donors from various regions, logistical reminders about using stairs versus lifts, and a brief prayer. The content blends scholarly exposition of Gaudiya Vaishnava doctrine with practical devotional encouragement.

I just finished the Latin American RGB meeting. Anyway I would say my pranams and start the class. Prabhunity. Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we'll continue with our reading from Sri Chaitan Asik Shamrita by Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur on the subject matter of Madhuriyarati Madhuriya Rasa messengers Dhuti dealing such as dealings such as well wishers and others. Among the group leaders, Yateshwaris are categorized into Swapaksha, friendly or allied, vipaksha, opposing or rival and Tatashta neutral Messengers Dhuti who assist naikas yearning for Krishna's Darshana are of two types Swayam Dyuti, the heroine herself as messenger and Apta Dhuti, a trusted companion acting as messenger. When the heroine, overwhelmed by love, directly expresses her feelings to the hero, she becomes swayam Dhuti Complaints ABHI Yoga are of three kinds Kaika, physical vachika, verbal and Chakshusa visual Verbal complaint is mockery Vyanga which is of two types, Shabda vyanga, word based mockery and aritavyanga meaning based mockery. Mockery toward Krishna operates in two modes through direct encounter and through indirect reference. Vyapadesha messengers Dhuti are of three kinds request Yancha is of two kinds, Svartha, expressing one's own request and parada, one's request is conveyed by another person. Within this there's apadesha, direct expression and vyapadesha indirect expression. The trusted, affectionate and eloquent messengers Vivashta, Snehavati and Vagmini are the Apta Dhutis of the Vraja Damsels based on purpose Messengers Dhutis are of three types Amitartha bearing excessive intent, nishratyartha bearing delegated delegated intent and Patrahari letter bearer. Those such as Shilpakarini artists, fortune tellers, Linghini, ascetics, Paricharika, attendant dat trehi, nurses, Vana Devi, forest goddess and Saki female companion are also accounted among messengers. The Chitrakarini painter acts as Daivakna duti arranging union by revealing horoscopes through paintings. The Lingini Dhuti, like Pournamasi is one who wears the garments of an ascetic. Certain sakis such as Lavangamanjari and Bhanumati serving as Paricharika Dhuti's attendants become Dhatrei Dhutis, nurses of Rmati Radhika Vanadevi, the presiding goddess of Vrindavana. The Sakis perform messenger duties through Sapta Vyanga and Artha Vyanga, verbal and semantic movies. Mockery within which sabda molaka and Artha moolaka vyapadesha include all types of complaints such as praise and reproach when engaged in messenger duties. If a saki meets Krishna in solitude, he requests union with her, but the saki does not consent.
All right, so we say that and Raja Da Krishnas has activities with the Gopis.
So we see that in Rajadham, Krishna's activities with the Gopis as very is very, very gated.
He has all these messengers.
So he has all these messengers carrying messages from the Gopis of Krishna.
And so I don't know if you remember.
I don't know whether you can remember. For me it's difficult.
All the different types of messengers.
All the different types of messengers.
So we see that in this loving dealings Lord Krishna, that process is very detailed.
So we see that in these loving dealings with Lord Krishna the process is very detailed.
And sometimes they're praising Krishna, sometimes they're
mocking him, sometimes they're praising Krishna, sometimes they're mocking him.
Now say.
Previously we had Dasirasa which is completely submissive to Krishna.
And Vrindavan, they're called Anugas.
In Vrindavan they are called Anugas. Then we have the Sakya Rasa.
Some are older, some are younger, some are the same age.
Some are older, some are younger, some are of the same age. They would fight with Krishna, they will fight with Krishna. And
although they did this, it was like a start.
So although they do this, it is
like a spot and then. But now there's a little bit to have the sign of joking, maybe a little bit.
They'll have this kind of, this kind of, this kind of joking with the
parental Rasa, the Vatsali Rasa, they see Krishna as their child or younger. They have to protect him.
So in the parental Rasa and Vatsali Rasa, they see Krishna as a child, younger than him, they have to protect him.
There's also a variety of the different emotions.
But we see in Madhuri Rasa we see different varieties of these emotions.
And sometimes when Lord Krishna, they're very submissive.
Sometimes in love for Krishna, they're very submissive.
They're very are so dynamic.
Sometimes in their love for Krishna, they're very dynamic.
Sometimes they're Also criticizing Krishna.
Sometimes they are also criticizing Krishna.
Why? Various reasons.
For various reasons.
They are they all the different Rasas
so they manifest all the different Rasas.
And the angle.
All of that in Madhuriya Rasa So very interesting.
And how some of the colleagues work as messengers.
It's very interesting how some of the Gopis, they work as messengers and then
as a messenger they keep themselves. They're serving their Yiteshwari, their so as
messengers they are serving their yoteshwaris, their group leaders.
And so they don't accept any kind of proposal from Krishna.
They don't accept any kind of proposal from Krishna.
Amen. Remind everyone that his activities are not material.
We should remind everyone that these activities are not material. And nature, they are spiritual in nature.
Handle all these. One see the pleasure of Krishna.
So the Gopis in Madhuri Rasa they are love. They want. They completely want to see the pleasure of Lord Krishna.
And there Allah's facetime Krishna they are
always fixed on Lord Krishna.
Material life it's not like that.
Material life it's not like that.
There's divorce. These are people the Gopis are not married authentic to Krishna. They love him.
So in material life there is divorce. But these people, the Gopis, even though they are not officially married to Krishna but they still love him.
And so this is a very interesting topic.
This is a very interesting topic. Still have seven minutes more. Okay.
Wow.
16. 16 types of activities of the Sakhisakiski Jai The Sakhis perform 16 types of activities. 1. Describing the qualities of the hero and heroine to each other. 2. Increasing mutual attachment. 3. Arranging their mutual meeting. 4. Offering the saki to Krishna. 5. Joking or playful teasing Parihasa. 6. Giving reassurance. 7. Backstage arrangement I.e. costume design. 8. Revealing the inner feelings of birth. 9. Concealing faults and flaws. 10. Deceiving the husband and others. 11. Giving instruction uniting the hero and heroine at the proper time. 12. Serving with items like yaktail fan, chamara and peacock spelling mistake Vajana. 13. Rebuking the hero at specific occasions. 14. Likewise rebuking the heroine. 15. Delivering messages Samvada 16. Protecting the life of the heroine in all matters they exert full effort. Sarva, Vishayev, prayatna.
So these are the 16 activities. Other all these.
So these are the 16 activities of the Gopis, the Sakis and the Sakis
and you can say that fully absorbed and Krishna consciousness.
So we can see that they are fully absorbed in Krishna consciousness.
I was thinking about Krishna.
So they're always thinking about Krishna and his heroine that
all these activities they're
doing so all these different activities they
are doing so in this way are really absorbed in serving Krishna.
So in this way they're really absorbed in serving Krishna.
We don't appreciate this, but by our standard we should also want to serve Krishna.
So we appreciate this, but from our standard we should also want to serve Lord Krishna.
We don't know what Rasa or in
maybe so we don't know what Rasa we are in. Maybe
that will be revealed in due course.
But that would be revealed in due course.
So Padino, Tagars, salvation. And also Santa Ra.
So Bhakti Vana Thakur very kindly mentioned Dasya, Sakya, Vatsala, Madhuri and also Shantaras.
So now we're discussing Madriaras.
Now we are discussing Maduras.
I think that's very complicated, very structural.
So we say this is very complicated and very instructive. Instructive.
How the sakis, the friends of Rani.
How the sakis they are friends of Rmati, Radharani or competitors of Radharani or competitors of Radharani.
How they are engaged in the service of Krishna.
How they are engaged in service of Krishna. Next paragraph. Okay, the sakis, our last paragraph for today. The sakis are of four kinds. Four. Those Sakis who bear equal love for both Radha and Krishna yet identify themselves exclusively as Radha's own are the most exalted. They are called Priya, Saki and Paramapreshta Sakhi. The Sakhis are divided into Swapaksha, own side, friendly side, Tatashta, Paksha, neutral and Pratipaksha. Opposing side. The purpose of this classification is to nourish Rasa. The pride, intoxication and jealousy found in the opposing side are merely supportive of Rasa. In truth, all is undivided love. The detailed elaboration of these topics may be understood by qualified readers from the texts of Ujjwala, Neelamani and Jaivadharma. Out of concern for the inauspiciousness of the unqualified. I will not speak about all these matters here. In the mellow of sweetness, conjugal mellow, Madurasa. All aspects related to Krishna and his beloveds such as qualities, guna names, nama pastimes, Charita adornments, Mandana associates, Samanthi, some, some bandi and neutral elements. Tatashta are all stimulants. Udhipana. The qualities guna are of three kinds. Mental, Manasa, verbal Vachika and physical. In this Rasa, Anubhava is of three Kinds ornamentation, alankara, bodily manifestation of inner emotion, utbara and verbal expression. Vachika alankara is of 2020 types such as expressions of emotions, bhava, gestures, hava and so on. When the emotion of heart becomes manifest in the body it is called utbasvara. Verbal anubhava such as alapa, conversation, villapa, lamentation, etc is of 12 is of 12 types. The eight satvika bhavas such as stamba, stupid, stupefaction, etc manifest as satvika bhava in this rasa except fierceness, fierceness and alasia, laziness. All Sanchari bhavas are considered vivachari bhavas in this rasa.
So. One rasas amplified. But one translation say Rasa means love.
So rasa is a bit amplified. But then one translation Rasa means love.
And these are different varieties of love.
So these are different varieties of love.
And so in the spiritual world how the different sakhis, they are expressing their love for Krishna in different ways.
So in the spiritual world the different sakis, they expressing their love for Krishna in different ways.
Now Radharani is Ahladini shakti.
So Radharani is the Ahladini shakti. She's the pleasure potency.
And she's naturally the most, the greatest of all the sagis.
So she is naturally the most greatest of all the sakis.
And thus sakis are dedicated to her. The Priya sakhis are considered most advanced.
So thus the sakis who are dedicated to her, the Priya sakis they consider to be the most advanced. In Mayapur we have Radha, Madhava and the Ashtasakis.
They're all.
They are all Priya sakis. Lalita, Champakalata, Chitra, Tungavitya, Vishaka, Induleka, Ranga Devi and Sudevi.
They're all Priya sakis.
They are all Priya sakis.
There's another name, But then there's. Those are four types, neutral, someone's plural neutral and then opposite.
So there are four types, neutral, playful and opposing.
Even the opposing. All ideas increase love of Krishna.
Even there is opposing. The whole idea is to increase love of Krishna.
Just like in our book distribution.
Just like in our book distribution, we have competition. We have competition.
Only the greatest.
Who would be the greatest?
Haribo on the continent.
The continent.
On the continent.
World or the continent or in the world.
So what? Actually we all want to see Lord Chaitanya's moment extend.
But actually we all want to see Lord Chaitanya's movement expand.
And I feel
we shouldn't feel negative if someone beats us.
We are very happy that Lord Chaitanyas as understanding.
So we should be very happy that Lord Chaitanya's mission is expanding like that.
There's a kind of natural situation in the surgical world.
So like that this kind of natural situation is there in the spiritual world. Madhuri Rasa Some of the Gopis are very favorable to Radharani.
Completely dedicated.
Completely dedicated.
Some are. Some are tangible and some are neutral.
Some are favorable. Some are neutral.
Some are opposing.
Some are opposing.
But all is focused on devotion.
But all this is focused on devotion to Lord Krishna. Haripur, Please accept my best wishes. So Gurmaj, we have different Guruj, we have devotees from the different parts of the world.
