Radha...

Time and again, we have had casual queries pertaining to love related

problems, husbands walking out etc. As I had once mentioned I am in

principle against use of tantric shat karma. Indeed I cannot

understand any justification for vashikaran and no, at least I am not

interested in a doll whose remote control is with me. If this is not

rape on a mental or a spiritual level then what is it? So what is the

solution in this case? Perhaps two solutions can be considered moral.

The first is if you are chanting a mohan kind of mantra, please

openly make a pledge that it is for winning the heart over and not

stop the brain of your beloved from functioning!! The reason is that

sometimes vashikaran and mohan mantras are very similar. But who do

you make this prayer to -- Depends on who appeals to you. Not only in

this but all material matters be it wealth, job, power, name fame

affluence or whatever the following attitude will be of great help.

 

Saapraadho asmi sharanam praaptsvaam jagdambike

Idaani manukampyo ham yatchchasi tatha kuru

 

Meaning "o mother I have come into your refuge with all the mistakes

and sins I have committed. Knowing that please do whatever you wish

to." so the underlying idea is surrender not siddhi. This is a very

important aid in the attitude to solving material problems with

chants. Since you never accept the feeling of being in control. You

automatically escape the chance of making a mistake, or trying to get

what is not right for you, however painful it may seem at that

moment. With surrender as a base, there can be no mistakes.

 

But then how can you forget Radha when it comes to love..!. She is

one of the five prakirtis namely durga, lakshmi, savitri, saraswati

and radha. Durga who is the all powerful.lakshmi who is the bestower

of abundance, who is sarva vidya herself-saraswati, the one who is

made of pure satva savitri and pramananda roopa-eternal bliss

herself – Radha….

 

May I present here a sadhana pertaining to Radha? But first a few

lines on her which are my all time favourite and I can never listen

them too much and whenever I hear them I get relaxed no matter what

the stress.

Jayti nand kul kumud kala dhar koti kaam chabi dhaam

Jayki rati kul naval chandrika rasik kishori lalaam

 

 

A prayer to the one born in nand kul. Kumud (lotus) kala (as in 16

kala win which Krishna was apripoorna) and having the beauty of koti

(1 crore) kamdevs.

Salutaions too to the the one from rati kul (feminity personified),

the one who luster is like light from a waxing moon. One who is a

rasik- enchantress a beautiful young maiden

Jayti nav naagari ( nav naagri from nav nagar as in new delhi, new

jersey etc! literally meaning modern woman)

Roop gun aagri (whose beauty and virtues are unparalleled)

Sakal sukh saagari (who is an ocean of all happiness, but such is

more than happiness. It is happiness filled with peace)

 

Kunwri radha (kunwari –unmarried –here assign of respect)

Jayti hari bhaamini (salutations to the consort of hari)

Shyaam ghan daamini (the implied menaing is that she looks like

lightening in clouds next to Krishna)

Kheli kal kaamini (alluring like the flowing stream and empowered

with the power of kaam dev so kaamini)

Chavi agaadhaa (whose image cannot be described or matched)

 

Jayti man mohani (salutations to the one who is well accomplished in

the art of mohan,- alluring)

Karo drig bohni (it is a prayer for a side glance from her)

Darsh deyo sohani (a prayer to her, the beautiful one to appear)

Haro badha (and remove obstacles)

Jayti jayti pyaari radha (prayer to dear radha)

Laadli radha ( ladli -spoilt by her beloved- radha)

Swaamini radha (the one who is the owner of krishna and the devotees

alike)

Kishori radha (teenager-radha)

Thakuraani radha(thakur is lord so thakuri is lady lord –radha)

 

Jay radhe jay radhe radhe jay radhe jay sri radhe

Shyaama gouri nitya kishori

Priyatam jori pyaari sri radhe (Shyaama gouri -the one who is sultry

and fair alike, nitya kishori- who never ages and always retains the

her youthful exuberance. Priyatam beloved jori- here flirting)

Ang ang tona saras salona

Subhag salona pyaro sri Krishna

Ang ang tona- every part of whose body is a charm or a spell in

itself, saras-again full of ras. Ras is juice literally but it is a

lot more than that, salona-dear) such is the lovely krishna

 

So now the prayog. Ref September 95

Day any ashtamai – radha ashtami falls 15 days after Krishna

janamashtami but what is being given is a daily kind of a version of

it without the samagri yet keeping all essential aspects of the

sadhana in tact.. Should be done an hour before sunrise

( this is enough to at least make me forget about enchanting and

sleeping comfortably. So you can choose a comfortable time)

yellow aasan use a lot of incense, red roses, and be well dressed

yourself too. (personally I can never dress up and sit for sadhana so

just be tidy and visualize that you are well dressed!)

 

fill your heart and being with love

perform traatak on a shakti chakra for 15 minutes.

http://www.siddhashram.org/gaqsadhana.shtml

– you will find a bad one here. Traatak is constant staring-

unblinking at the center point of the whirlpool you see. Alternately

perhaps a flame can be used but beginners should not overdo traatak

on a flame. While performing this traatak get to the feeling of

oneness with your ishta devta. Why not radha? Then meditate on the

love filled image of Radha Krishna all the time chanting

 

Aum Premayei premdaayei namah shreem aum

 

This can be done all day – walking, while doing your work etc. there

are no special rules for this chant. Only meditate again and again on

love. Especially throw emotions like bitterness, hurt, anger out

which are a natural side effect of a walking out husband repeatedly.

Perhaps using any devotional cum love music any you like of Krishna

before this is also a good idea. At least I cannot fill myself with

love without the aid of music -the lines I just wrote (there are

more, but spared you all) sung in the melodious voice of this

gentleman who refuses to write his name on the cassettes-yes vinod

aggarwal. But I think you get his cassettes only in vrindavan. The

play he plays with words, the emotion with which he sings is very

admirable.

 

 

He says of Krishna

Vrishbhanu jaake naate vrishab matin hu ko

Budhimaan vidyaavaan pandit banaaye hai

Yeh gop ki suta hai ya so gop kiul maan rakhi

Bandhu gwaal gwaaln ki jhoothan hi khaye hai

 

Krishna was born in rohini, a nakshatra in tauras –vrishabh. So he

says because radha was vrishbhaanu suta ( daughter of vrish bhanu –

sun in tauras) he is partial to this sign and those born here and

makes them buddhimaan-intelligent –vidyavaan- knowkedgeable, and

pandit. She was the daughter a gop suta- a milk man' daughter , so he

kept the honour of the low caste gops, and happily ate the food left

over by his friends there –gwaalas.

Such was his love for Radha.

And so as go the very often repeated lines in vrindaaban

Radhe tu barh bhaagini kaun tapasya keenhi

Teen lok ke adhipati so tere aadheen

( who can compare to your fortune oh radha, what tapasya did you

perform. Krishna is the owner of the three lords, yet see how he is

your slave)

so, dear bbaja, no true love can be had when one's mind is filled

with anger, hatred, bitterness. Please remember that.

 

Jai gurudev
