Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied, "This is certainly the limit of perfection, but please be merciful to Me and speak more if there is more." Raya Ramananda replied, "Until this day I did not know anyone within this material world who could inquire <font color="blue"> beyond this perfectional stage of devotional service</font color> . "Among the loving affairs of the gopis, " Ramananda Raya continued, "Srimati Radharani's love for Sri Krsna is topmost. Indeed, <font color="red"> the glories of Srimati Radharani are highly esteemed in all revealed scriptures</font color> .

From Brihad-Bhagavat-amrita . Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that <font color="blue"> Mother Yasoda does not suspect that Krsna has spent the entire night enjoying the rasa-dance pastime</font color> . 150. Terrible thorns in the forest made these wounds everywhere on all His limbs when again and again He ran here and there. . Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that these wounds were made by the gopis' fingernails. 151. Alas! The black kajjala from His eyes has anointed all His limbs. He is so overcome with sleep that He does not even know. . Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that these marks of black kajjala were left by the gopis. 152. He does not even know that He is marked here and there with strains of red betelnuts from His lips. He must have broken His necklaces, garlands, and other ornaments as again and again He turned in His sleep. . Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that the red betelnut stains actually came from the gopis lips and it was the gopis who broke Krsna's necklaces, garlands, and ornaments. Mother Yasoda thinks Krsna broke them as He turned in His sleep. 153. Even bathing did not wash away the kunkuma-coloured Yamuna-bank clay that is now the friend of His body. . Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that the kunkuma actually came from the gopis' breasts. Mother Yasoda playfully calls the kunkuma the "friend" of Krsna's body because it clings there so tightly. 154. Yesterday at sunset the impatient girls did not bathe Him very carefully and thoroughly. They did not wash away all the dirt. 155. These same things Mother Yasoda spoke again and again before the girls of Vraja when they came, their faces shining with fear, smiles and embarrassment. . Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that gopis were afraid that Mother Yasoda had learned the truth of their pastimes with Krsna at night, they smiled when they heard her words explaining <font color="blue"> how thoroughly she misunderstood everything </font color> and they were embarrassed to see <font color="red"> the marks they had left on Krsna's body</font color> .

From Brihad-Bhagavat-amrita 142. Some sing songs of glorification that please His ears and heart, some play musical instruments, and some joke with Him. . Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that the word "sankirtana" here indicates that the gopis were chanting Krsna's names. 143. Thus served by all the gopis, who were melting with feelings of great friendship, Krsna gave the chewed betelnuts they intensely desired, although each could not see the others receiving them. 144. With these activities pleasing His beloveds, and delighted by Sri Radhika's words of love, Krsna, the crest jewel in the assembly of the most intelligent, at once began <font color="blue"> His pastimes of sleep</font color> . 145. Receiving a hint from Him, all of them drowning in a flood of happiness, went to their own homes. . Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that Krsna's hint was the dancing of His eyebrows. 146. Then Sridama carefully took me to his own home. What other pastimes Krsna enjoyed that night I cannot say. 147. With great difficulty I passed the night and in the morning I went to Nanda's home. I saw Krsna on the bed, sleeping and <font color="blue"> bearing the marks of amorous pastimes</font color> . 148. Going to His side and showing Her affection for Him in many ways, His honest mother spoke some words to herself. 149. Ah, exhausted from having spent all day protecting the cows in the forest, and finding the happiness of sleep, even now my boy does not wake up. . Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that Mother Yasoda does not suspect that <font color="blue"> Krsna has spent the entire night enjoying the rasa-dance pastime</font color> . 150. Terrible thorns in the forest made these wounds everywhere on all His limbs when again and again He ran here and there. . Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that <font color="blue"> these wounds were made by the gopis' fingernails</font color> . 151. Alas! The black kajjala from His eyes has anointed all His limbs. He is so overcome with sleep that He does not even know. . Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that <font color="blue"> these marks of black kajjala were left by the gopis</font color> .

This conception <font color="red"> all are same person </font color> is not false is only defective. The defect there is that in such a conception there is no question of ananya bhakti (one pointedness), which leads to raganuga. Someone in vaidhi bhakti like Praladha Maharaja will see no difference there. The jiva is fully unacquainted with the raganuga nature, What to say of ragaatmika. Only by the mercy of sadhu one can come in contact with this nature, but the association which such a sadhu is extremely infrequent. "When the gopis sometimes saw Krsna in the form of Narayana, they were not very attracted to Him . The gopis never addressed Krsna as Rukmini-ramana. Krsna's devotees in Vrndavana address Him as Radharamana, Nandanandana and Yasodanandana, but not as Vasudeva-nandana or Devaki-nandana. Although according to the material conception Narayana, Rukmini-ramana and Krsna are one and the same , in the spiritual world one cannot use the name Rukmini-ramana or Narayana in place of the name Krsna. "

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied, "This is certainly the limit of perfection, but please be merciful to Me and speak more if there is more."

Sri Krsna pranama (1) namo nalina netraya venu vadya vinodine radhadhara sudha pana saline vana maline I offer pranama unto He whose eyes are like lotus flowers, who merrily plays the flute, <font color="blue"> who is expert in drinking the nectar of Radhika's lips</font color> , and who is adorned with a garland of forest flowers.

namah om visnupadaya krsna-presthaya bhutale, srimate bhaktisiddhanta-sarasvatiti-namine sri-varsabhanavi-devi-dayitaya krpabdhaye krsna-sambandha-vijnana-dayine prabhave namah madhuryojjvala premadya sri rupanuga bahaktida sri gaura karuna sakti vigrahaya namostute Madhuryojjvala premadya sri rupanuga bahaktida. He (Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada) explained all these truths. He actually came <font color="blue"> only to give</font color> this relationship &#8211; <font color="blue"> madhuryojjvala-prema, gopi-prema</font color> , which Srila Rupa Gosvami has written about in his books and which Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu came to this world only to give. He came only to give the realization that Krsna is our beloved. He came to give this and nothing else. Srila Prabhupada (Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati) has written in his articles: "I came only to give this, but my whole time was spent in cutting jungles." Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja also did this in Western countries. He came to this world to give love and affection for Krsna, but to whom could he give it? He was preaching to unqualified people, and therefore he wanted to make a platform for this love, by cutting the jungles of atheist and mayavada misconceptons. He thus fertilized the field by plowing and cutting jungles, and most of his time went in this. He could not fully preach as he wanted, but <font color="red"> he stored so many deep truths about gopi-prema in his books</font color> . spoken by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja

Srila BV Svami Prabhupada condemned very vehemently the opinion here held by some person (that not understand that the Lord is one but simultaneous different, bheda abheda tattva) In his long purport to the verse 90 Ch.8 from Madya lila Srila BV Svami Prabhupada says: "It is a <font color="red"> completely mistaken idea</font color> that <font color="blue"> one can worship Krsna in any form</font color> or in any way and still attain the ultimate result of receiving the favor of the Lord. This is a decision made by <font color="blue"> gross materialists.</font color> Impersonal realization of the Absolute Truth is certainly transcendental, but this does not mean that one who has attained this realization can understand the sac-cid-ananda form of the Lord. Similarly, Paramatma realization--realization of the plenary expansion of the Absolute Truth within everyone's heart--is also an incomplete understanding of the Absolute Truth. Even a devotee of the Personality of Godhead Narayana cannot actually understand the transcendental attractive features of Krsna. Indeed, <font color="red"> a devotee of Krsna </font color> who is attached to the sublime attractive features of the Lord <font color="red"> does not consider Narayana very important. </font color> When the gopis sometimes saw Krsna in the form of Narayana, <font color="blue"> they were not very attracted to Him</font color> . The gopis never addressed Krsna as Rukmini-ramana. Krsna's devotees in Vrndavana address Him as Radharamana, Nandanandana and Yasodanandana, but not as Vasudeva-nandana or Devaki-nandana. Although <font color="red"> according to the material conception</font color> Narayana, Rukmini-ramana and Krsna <font color="blue"> are one and the same</font color> , in the spiritual world one cannot use the name Rukmini-ramana or Narayana in place of the name Krsna. If one does so <font color="blue"> out of a poor fund of knowledge</font color> , his mellow with the Lord becomes <font color="blue"> spiritually faulty </font color> and is called rasabhasa, an overlapping of transcendental mellows. <font color="blue"> The advanced devotee </font color> who has actually realized the transcendental features of the Lord will not commit the mistake of creating a rasabhasa situation by using one name for another. <font color="red"> Because of the influence of Kali-yuga</font color> , there is much rasabhasa in the name of extravagance and liberal-mindedness. <font color="red"> Such fanaticism is not very much appreciated by pure devotees</font color> ." Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says: Don't criticize anyone because faith is according to eligibility and everyone is working according their own eligibility. Each person will gradually advance when the time is appropriate.

We want love. We first loved our mother, then our father, then our brothers, then other relatives, and then our neighbors. But we were never satisfied. Then we collected wives or husbands, and when we were not satisfied we got divorced and changed the old ones for new ones. But still we were not satisfied. You cannot be satisfied. No one can ever be satisfied in material relationships. When you meet with Krsna and serve Him, then you will be satisfied. This is a transcendental relationship, and <font color="red"> this relationship is given by guru</font color> . Srila Prabhupada (Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura) gave this, and this relationship will be forever. It was for this end that he gave the mantra klim krsnaya govindaya . Spoken by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja

In madhurya rasa Krsna cannot keep His promise made in His gita Ramananda Raya continued: "Lord Krsna has made a firm promise for all time. If one renders service unto Him, Krsna correspondingly gives him an equal amount of success in devotional service to the Lord. 'As all surrender unto Me, I reward them accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects, O son of Prtha.' "In Srimad-Bhagavatam [10.32.22] it is said that Lord Krsna cannot proportionately reciprocate devotional service in the madhurya-rasa; therefore He always remains a debtor to such devotees. "When the gopis were overwhelmed with dissatisfaction due to Lord Krsna's absence from the rasa-lila, Krsna returned to them and told them, 'My dear gopis, our meeting is certainly free from all material contamination. I must admit that in many lives it would be impossible for Me to repay My debt to you because you have cut off the bondage of family life just to search for Me. <font color="blue"> Consequently I am unable to repay you. </font color> Therefore please be satisfied with your honest activities in this regard.'

All glories to that Yasoda nandana who resides within the hearts fo all! His assembly is decorated with the presence of the exalted Yadavas and He destroy irreligion with His own might and the help of His devotees. Despite the controversy concerning His birth, the chantig of His name removes inauspiciousness from all living entities both moving and stationary. All glories to <font color="red"> Vrajendra nandana Sri Krsna</font color> , whose softly smiling lotus face <font color="red"> always enhances </font color> the transcendetal lust of <font color="red"> the vraja gopis</font color> . what is your understanding of madhurya rasa based on ?

related to the spiritual world ONE AND MANY In the spiritual world all forms of bhagavan are <font color="blue"> eternally different </font color> and <font color="red"> same</font color> . If one sees no difference it means he has no <font color="red"> mamata for hís Ista deva</font color> , And this is the case of the impersonalists, the ones in shanta rasa the ones in shanta rasa with some trace of dasya, which can be found in Vaikuntha, (maybe also the christians) and speculators . Everybody <font color="red"> according his svarupa </font color> has an innate attraction for a particular form of bhagavan, which is not an idol (material) Only very rare beings have in their svarupa attraction to Vraja Krsna as their ista deva. Murari Gupta could not give up the worship of his ista deva,Lord Ramacandra, even if Mahapabhu requested him. Oh, he has mamata for His Lord Ramacandra. For him is not that all are one. Only materialists, cristians and speculators would think this is idol worship, they don't understand that the forms of the Lord are transcendental and possesing a particular fragrance. More than that the acintya bheda abheda tattva Is the very principle of the spiritual world 55. The Lord's paraphernalia, names, pastimes and favourite abodes are all eternal and real. Know that they are both <font color="red"> one and many</font color> , 55. spoken by Narada Muni in Brihad Bhagavatamrita One needs mamata to realize this simple truth. But mamata comes in rati.

I will give a short comment on the statement "Lord Caitanya (is) really (the) sourse (of) Radha-Krisna." To explain the appearance of Sri Caitanya it was said that "The swayam rupa bhagavan, the Supreme Godhead <font color="red"> par excellence</font color> as <font color="blue"> Madhurya Vigraha</font color> eternally dwells in His Transcendental Plane of Goloka morphologically in His Two Moiety counter Wholes as the container of all love (asraya vigraha): the <font color="blue"> Hladini Svarupini Sri Radhika</font color> , and as the only object of love (visaya vigraha): <font color="blue"> Rasa raja</font color> akhila rasa amrita murti dvi buja murali dhara <font color="blue"> Syama</font color> sundara Sri Krsna, <font color="red"> but ontologically one and the same</font color> . No doubt Both the Counter Whole Moieties are inseparable, (expressed in their unequaled feelings, <font color="red"> especially high in the bhava</font color> of Srimati Radhika)(But!) in the ontology of transcendental love dalliance , Love cannot become sweetened without vipralambha (vina pralambhena sambhoga na pusti mashnute) which is only a conception existing in Goloka (in the heart of Srimati Radhika), although Both feel total void for even a moment of separation. In His <font color="red"> Audarya Svarupa </font color> (vigraha): maha bhava svarupa Sri Gaura Chandra hiding His Syama sundara Hue <font color="red"> enveloped within the Radha bhava </font color> dyutisubalitam, united with Sri Radhika ontologically becoming both the Moiety Counter Wholes one and the same which also dwells at that Goloka in another chamber. " to say "Lord Caitanya (is) really (the) sourse (of) Radha-Krisna." It means that one projects his material thinking in terms of cause and effect, and material time perception on the realm of the Absolute. Maybe somebody has a better explanation.

Acintya bheda abheda tattva <font color="red"> they </font color> are all one and different related to saktiman tattva Is there any difference between Lord Rama and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabu? Oh, there is a lot of difference. Is there any need, to count all these differences? No, no, but <font color="blue"> Lord Rama and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabu are same!</font color> <font color="red"> How same?</font color> They are the same bhagavan. What is the meaning? <font color="red"> Bhagavan is one person!</font color> Oh, not like this. Bhagavan is not one person. Bhagavan is the principle (tattva) of different persons. Lord Rama is one person, and He is bhagavan. Lord Caitanya is one person, and He is also bhagavan. <font color="red"> So they are the same bhagavan!</font color> Don't start again! Oh, I only wanted to say, They are the same priciple (saktiman tattva) and they are different persons. <font color="blue"> How different?</font color> Oh, they have different forms, different colours, some different moods, some different associates, different residence... Are these differences an illusion? Oh, no they are eternal. So are Lord Rama and Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu, eternally different, and the same? All forms of bhagavan are eternally different and the same But the adi purus and param isvara is ? Govindam adi purusam tam aham bhajami, (Vraja Krsna)

Krsna sambandha-vijnana dayine prabhave namah. In this world we have a relationship with our father and mother and our immediate family. We think, "She is my mother, he is my father, and he is my brother." But we are not satisfied with that. We want to be a husband or wife, girlfriend or boyfriend, <font color="red"> but still we are not satisfied</font color> . From where have these relationships come? They come from Goloka Vrndavana. There is actually only one <font color="red"> relationship</font color> , and that is <font color="red"> with Krsna</font color> . <font color="blue"> Krsna is not a father there in Vrndavana</font color> . He is like a friend, a baby, or a beloved. In the constitutional form of our soul there is a relationship with Krsna. We have now forgotten this due to Maya, but we have a relationship. All the relationships of these bodies are false and temporary. They remain only for some days, but <font color="blue"> the relationship in our constitutional form is eternal</font color> . Spoken by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja

I think you are one of the very few that understand siddhanta. What do you think about the statement "Lord Caitanya (is)really (the) sourse (of) Radha-Krisna." Can you give some comment?

Dear Sanatana Prabhu dandavat pranam, you have a wonderful name. yes WE (you and I) WE are brothers because our same mood, as servants of the divine couple Radha Krsna, belonging the paramapara of Mahaprabhu, folowing the mood of Rupa Gosvami. Concernig the other jiva we cannot say much. Maybe only according to tattva (phylosophical principle) we can say that we are all tatastha shakti (marginal energy)and so seen we can call ourselves children of God, having the same father because we come from the glance of Maha Visnu in tatastha region. But realy we are from Para Sakti, Srimati Radhika.

<font color="red"> All is God is a distortion of the truth </font color> and is the conception of the mayavadis, (who denie the difference existing in the spiritual world, having many other misconceptions) The mayavadis say that when God comes in maya-jagat He transforms Himself, And even the material world is a transformation of God. The vaisnavas say that jagat maya is a transformation of para sakti, not of saktiman And <font color="blue"> God is different from His shakti</font color> (bheda) <font color="red"> although they are one</font color> , (abheda) and this is <font color="green"> inconceivable </font color> (aciyntia) for those persons who have not receive the mercy of bhagavan. <font color="red"> The other half of the truth</font color> is that apart God there is His energy Para sakti.

Bhagavan is one not many. This is a Christian statement which goes against the idol worship. And for most of the nowadays Christians this one God is like an impersonal power that has all opulence and so on. We also find in the sastra the statement that bhagavan wanted to become many. Why? Because He wanted to enjoy pastimes (lilas). The many forms of Bhagavan (Krsna, Rama, Narayana, Vishnu…) <font color="blue"> are not illusory</font color> , they are real, in all the realms of the spiritual world, and when they come in the material world, they remain the same reality being not touched by illusion. These forms of bhagavan are <font color="red"> totally independent from each other</font color> , and are <font color="blue"> embodiments of different moods,</font color> and although are the same person bhagavan they <font color="blue"> have even less qualities than the original form Vraja Krsna</font color> . So God is not only one, but also many. Maha Vishnu, which is bhagavan and has the “unpleasant” job of being the maintainer of the material worlds, wanted to see bhagavan, the all attractive Sri Krsna as He appeared in the material realm, and Visnu stole the boys of a brahmana to make Krsna to come to Him, and so to have the oppotunity to MEET Krsna. Why? Because Vishnu is different from Krsna, <font color="blue"> although in tattva, philosophical principle, they are one.</font color> But the <font color="red"> Supreme! </font color> Personality of God Is Vraja Krsna who has in Himself the moods (and qualities) <font color="blue"> of all other forms of God</font color> .

Then, the next stage of knowledge is called adhoksaja, the realization of Vaikuntha, that place where there is no material time – only the eternal present. There is no birth and death, and no suffering and sorrow there. There is nothing bad there. In that abode there is unlimited opulence, and everyone there prays to Narayana. There is something higher than this, however, and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura has taught that this most superior truth is called aprakrta. Aprakrta is that realm where Vraja-lila is performed. Krsna is sometimes like a baby there, and there He is controlled by His father and mother, by His beloved gopis, and by His friends. No one can ever imagine such very, very sweet pastimes. We should try to attain this aprakrta knowledge. We should try to serve this Krsna who is with so many gopis, with His father and mother, with His sakhas, and with all His cows and very sweet cow-herding pastimes. This is the aim and object of our life – service to this Krsna. This is aprakrta-jnana. Spoken by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja

I personally don't like the expresion Radha is an aspect of Bhagavan. These words make me unhappy. Radha is the emodiment of <font color="red"> all love </font color> of Krsna. "I worship that Srimati Radhika, whose <font color="blue"> restless eyes</font color> , moving <font color="red"> like </font color> flocks of khanjarita birds, playfully wander in all directions, constantly <font color="blue"> searching out Her prey</font color> , Sri Krsnacandra. Upon sighting Him, like and expert hunter She casts <font color="red"> the arrows</font color> of Her provocative <font color="red"> sidelong glances</font color> . She is the jasmine flower for the bumblebee Krsnacandra. Just as the jasmine elates the bumblebee, She gives great joy to Krsna heart, <font color="red"> completely making Him Hers</font color> . She is very miysterious with Her countless deep qualities." Radhikaastakam (1), Rupa Gosvami

The highest reality of the spiritual world kanaka jalada gatrau nila shonabja netrau mrigamada vara bhalau malati kunda malau tarala taruna veshau nila pitambareshau smara nibrita nikunje Radhika krsnacandrau O mind exclusively meditate on <font color="blue"> Srimati Radhika and Krsnacandra </font color> Her bodily complexión is like gold and His like a fresh monsoon cloud; Her eyes are like blue lotus flower and His like red lotuses. Their forheads are decorated with musk tilaka. She wears a garland of malati flower and He of kunda flowers; and They are wonderfully decorated in a charming and youthful fashion. She wearing a blue dress and He a yellow garment, <font color="red"> as they enjoy in the solitary nikunjas of Vraja </font color> . <font color="blue"> Sri Nikunja Rahasya</font color> Stava 16 Rupa Gosvami These is the heart of Srila Rupa Gosvami. Where do the gopas and gopis have rasa dance or any other amorous pastimes together? The pryanarma sakha Subhala once was sent by Krsna to Yavat because Radha could not come out of the house being under the controlling of Jotila (the mother in law of Radha) and as Subala came there, he was asked by Jotila, Hey Subal what are you looking for? Oh, I am looking for one of my calves. And as Jotila was doing her work, he entered the house and saw Srimati Radhika. Subala said that Krsna is waiting for Her, and as Subal is looking very much like Srimati Radhika, they changed the clothes. Srimati Radhika took a small calf in Her arms, and as she was to live the house, Kutila asked Her, Hey Subala have you found your calf?! And Srimati Radhika answered in Subala s same voice Yes, yes, and she left. And she went to Krsna. As she came there, Krsna didn t recognize Her&#8230; STOP We are not qualified to read these wonderful pastimes, of <font color="red"> the highest reality </font color> (not illusion) who can taste their sweetness, and who has the greed to serve our Svamini in Her amorous pastimes with the <font color="red"> enchanter of all the worlds</font color> . He is <font color="blue"> so enchanting </font color> that he Himself wanted to taste His sweetness, and took the form of Sri Caitanya who is most in-loved only of Krsna. Who is most in-loved with Krsna? <font color="red"> Srimati Radhika! Jaya!</font color>

Ramananda Raya continued, "Lord Krsna told the gopis, 'The means of attaining <font color="red"> My favor </font color> is <font color="blue"> bhakti unto Me</font color> , and fortunately you are all thus engaged. Those living beings who render service unto Me are eligible to be transferred to the spiritual world and attain eternal life with knowledge and bliss.' Bhakti to Sri Krsna is not possible directly, no here and nor there in aprakat lila. His Hladini Shakti whose embodiment is Srimati Radharani will engage us in His service according our capability. The center of all loving activities in madhurya rasa is bhagavan Sri Krsna.
