Sharad Purnima - Sri Kripaluji Maharaj's Appearance Day

[Guest guest]

Namaste all. _/\_

 

Best wishes for Glorious Sharada Purnima and Sri Kripaluji Maharaj's

Appearance Day Celebrations!

 

Bhakti Yoga Rasavatar, Jagadguru Sri Kripaluji Maharaj has appeared

on the most auspicious day of 'Sharad Purnima' eighty three years ago,

to enrich the fortunate souls with 'KRISHNA PREMA DHANA',

transcendental treasure of selfless Divine Love.

 

On this glorious day of 'Sharada Purnima', 'autumn fullmoon' which is

the most sacred day for all the Rasika Mahapurusha, and the Raganuga

devotees, Lord Radha-Krishna's 'MAHA RASA LILA' had taken place.

 

In this Blissful Lila every blessed Gopi received the Supreme Divine

Bliss of Beloved Lord Krishna, through the Grace of Srimati

Radharani.

 

It is beyond description in words for ordinary souls.

 

It is fully narrated by the liberated soul, Sri Sukadeva Paramahamsa

in Srimad Bhagavatam, 10th canto.

 

The Rasik Saint Sri Bilva Mangala Thakurji has also glorified 'Maha

Rasa Lila' through his eight sublime verses of "Rasa Lilashtakam".

 

"aGganAm aGganAmantare mAdhavo

mAdhavaM mAdhavaM cAntareNAGganA

ittham Akalpite maNDale madhyagaH

saGjagau veNunA devakI nandanaH"

 

Meaning-

 

Lord Madhava, the Beloved of Radhika,

placed Himself between every

two beautiful Damsels of Vraja.

And between the two blissful forms of Madhava,

each blessed Gopi herself manifested.

 

Having made this incomprehensible arrangement on

the sacred arena for the performance of

the magnificent Divine Dance, Lord Krishna,

the transcendental joy of mother Devaki,

sported blissfully playing on His enchanting flute.

 

-----------

 

As a token of our love, respect, gratitude and dedication for Sri

Kripaluji Maharaj, I post these verses from the 'Jagadguru-Arati':

 

"bhakti-yoga-rasa avatAr abhirAm,

kareM nigamAgama samanvaya lalAm,

zyAmA-zyAm nAma rUpa lIlA guNa dhAm,

bAMti rahe prema niSkAma binu dAm,

 

ho rahI saphala kAyA nArI nara kI,

gAvo mili AratI rasika vara kI."

 

O dear sincere souls on the path of Raganuga Bhakti!

Please join me in glorifying the Personification

of Divine Love and Bliss, Sri Jagadguru Kripaluji,

 

Who has skilfully given the QUINTESSENCE of all the

sacred scrptures with his profound Knowledge,

 

Who is revealing the glories of Holy Name,

Divine FORM, attributes, abode, and Blissful

exploits of the Supreme Brahman - Sri Radha-Krishna,

 

and

 

Who is freely distributing the PRICELESS,

SELF-LESS LOVE OF Divine Beloved,

without asking any thing in return!

 

Receiving from Whom, the alms of Prema Bhakti,

the aspiring souls are perfecting their devotion

and making their human existence successful!

 

"lAlI-lAl lIlA kA salOnA suvilAs,

chAyA divya dRSti bIca prema kA prakAs,

vaisA hI vinod vahI manju mRdu hAs,

kareM bas barabas uccha aTTahAs,

 

jhUmi caleM cAl vahI naTavara kI,

gAvo mili Arati rasika vara kI,

 

O dear blessed devotees, come and join me

singing arati to the embodiment of Divine Grace,

 

Who is ever absorbed in the Blissful pastimes of the Divine Couple.

 

Who is ever percieving the Divine Forms of

His Beloved through the transcendental vision,

 

Who is ever submerged in the spiritual Bliss of Vraja Prema Rasa and

always overflowing with the Divine sentiments, and devotional

expressions of loud laughter, sweet smiles, graceful gait as well as

ecstatic dancing!

 

jayati jagad-guru vara kI !!

gAvo mili AratI rasika vara kI !!!

 

All Glories to the Universal Teacher of Divine Love,

the purest Rasik Saint on the earth, Sri Kripalu ji!

 

Jaya Sri Radhey!

Namaste _/\_ all.

 

Rasik Saint, Sri Prabodhananda Sarsvati who was identified as one of

the Ashta Maha Sakhis of Sri Radha, Sri TuGgavidya devi, had

described the sweet Vrindavana Nikunja lilas of Divine Couple in his

Maha Kavya named 'SangIta MAdhavam'.

 

It is loaded with exquisite melodious Sanskrit words - very much

resembling the well known 'Gita Govinda Kavya' of Sri Jayadeva

Kaviraja.

 

Here is my translation of his sweet Sanskrit song giving the

wonderful description of 'Mahaa Raas Pastime':-

 

paMcadazaH sargaH: nijollAsa varNana

 

Begins with Prayers to the Divine Couple:

 

akhila bhuvanasAraM prema sarvasvabhAraM

nava madana vikAraM saukhya sindhu pracAram

madhura rasa vihAraM rAdhikA kaNThahAraM

praNamata sukumAraM zrI yazodA kumAram .. 1 ..

 

zrI vRdAvana vipinendra jIva zaktiH

satpremojjvala rasa sAra kalpavallIH

sA rAdhA satata mahA manoja bAdhA

sA jIyAt madhura vayo vilAsa zIlA .. 2 ..

 

guJjarI rAgeNa gIyate

 

ziva vidhi zuka nArada janitAze

pravahad amRta rasa kRta parihAse .. 1 ..

 

This blissful pastime is overflowing with the

Divine nectar of jubiliation and playful laughter,

and deeply desired for by Sukadeva Paramahamsa,

the creator Brahma, the vanquisher of wild passion,

Lord Siva and the eternal celibate, sage Narada.

 

rAdhA mAdhava keli vilAse

vizatu mano mama prema vikAse (dhruva padam)

 

May the sublime erotic pastimes of Radha and Madhava

enter my heart and increase my Divine Love ecstasy.

 

vRndAvana vana sahaja nivAse

nava rasa bhAvita mati pratibhAse .. 2 ..

 

These amorous pastimes only take place in the

enchanted forest of Vrindavana and are reflected

in the hearts of those who are absorbed

in the ever new bliss of Divine Love.

 

tikta tarIkRta mukti vitAne

hari caranojjvala bhAva vitAne .. 3 ..

 

This Divine ecstasy in the abode of Beloved Hari's blissful

feet makes the joy of liberation seem worthy of abandoning!

 

pratipada jRmbhita madana vikAre

parama rasAmRta sagara sAre .. 4 ..

 

The erotic daliances multiply at every moment in this

Supreme ocean of the quintessence of Divine Love nectar.

 

thUtkRta vidhi-pada munivara gIte

tuccha triguna jaDa prakrtim atite .. 5 ..

 

These blissful exploits are beyond the three material

modes and are sung by the greatest sages who spit

even upon the celestial position of Lord Brahma.

 

rAdhA priya parijana kalanIye

vidita nigama-vara samvaraNIye .. 6 ..

 

This Divine amorous pastime can only be enjoyed by Radha's

dearmost devotees and is not disclosed even in the sacred Vedas!

 

anta rahita mahad akalita pAre

bahu-vidha bhangima prema prasAre .. 7 ..

 

Even the great souls cannot find the end to all the

different kinds of sublime ecstasies enjoyed and loving

gestures displayed in the magnificent Maha Rasa festival.

 

ati rasa lola sarasvati gAne

kuruta hRdayam iha parama nidhAne .. 8 ..

 

O Rasik devotees, always keep your hearts absorbed in

the Supreme treasure of this Divine melody created by

Saint Sarasvati who is very fond of blissful Love!

 

rAdhA mAdhava keli vilAse

vizatu mano mama prema vikAse

 

May these sublime erotic pastimes of Radha and Madhava

enter my heart and increase for ever my Divine Love ecstasy!

 

Jaya Sri Radhey!
