Krishna Prema ...........4

[Guest guest]

Yes! Our Beloved Babaji is absolutely right. In Transcental Love (

KRISHNA PREMA) there is room for transcedental jealousy - Babaji calls

this 'nakra' - they are also called 'adaayen' or 'teasing' - a

CHANDRAVALI is there only to show the *COMPLETENESS* of Smt

Radharani's Infinite love for her beloved Krishna Paramatma ! In

fact , Sri Krishna bhagwan uses one Gopi against another to bring out

the 'madhura' rasa - this is allowed in Madhurya rasa!

 

Also , have you read Venu Gita ? Here the gopis are even *jealous* of

Krishna's flute ! But this is really not 'jealousy but Admiration!

 

In Venu Gita , The gopis are said to be even 'jealous' of

Muralidhara's flute . But this 'jealousy is also tinged with

admiration!

 

The Gopis ask the Flute:

 

gopyaH kim Acarad ayaM kuzalaM sma veNur

dAmodarAdhara-sudhAm api gopikAnAm

bhuGkte svayaM yad avaziSTa-rasaM hradinyo

hRSyat-tvaco `zru mumucus taravo yathAryAH

 

 

Dear gopis! What indescribably auspicious activities

did the flute perform in previous lives that it can now

freely enjoy the leftover nectar of Damodar's lips,

which is truly the property of us gopis.

 

 

The flute answered thus (according to a Hindi poet):

 

" My Sadhana was in no way different from that of a full-fledged,

sincere and persevering spiritual aspirant.

 

It started with my sacrifice and renunciation

of my beautiful abode of bamboo bushes

where I had been enjoying with my near and dear ones.

 

My body was subjected to severe austerity (it was cut to size).

My Mano-Nasha took place as my 'Man' - meaning also the maundage

(a unit of weight called 'MAN' in Hindi) was all removed from

inside and I was made hollow.

 

I had also Granthi - Cheda i.e., my knots were cut

(to make me, smooth). Last but not the least,

I always bowed to and accepted my Lord's desire as paramount.

 

Whatever tune or Raaga my master wanted me to play,

I played it and never exercised my own will in choosing the tune.

It was only then that my master Krishna accepted

me and took me to his lips " .
