Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 The name is of vast significance. The propensity is all over the world. Take Karl Marx (no! do not take him,but he exemplifies something!). He performs meditation on the material energy of history. History is related to histology, both indicating a form: History is the form of our experience. It arises from the dream of Maha Vishnu,which is the hypostasis (transcendental foundation within the Godhead)of all material manifestation. The Personality of Godhead Maha Vishnu dreams, the cloud of Maya (our world) takes form from the Visnu Chitta of the dream, and Marx meditates on the Maya cloud--making him a believer in prakriti. Perhaps he is not a Sahajiya,because his paradise requires several eras of evolution to achieve, but he is a Prakrta Muni. Marx participated in the Romantic movement,which emphatically believed in a flow of kundalini, and some romantic devout individuals (we refer to a cultural movement,not prostitution per se) believed in a flow from the Source or Godhead. As such,if a devout lover of the Supreme Personality of Godhead accidentally was separated from contact with Vaishnavas, he might possibly have received economy from Source or Godhead. Thus he might approach or verge upon Aprakrita Sahajism. What would be lacking would be Buddhi Yoga. Srila Prabhupada has stated that the Gaudiya Vaishnava system is the most well developed interms of Buddhi Yoga. As far as rasa is concerned, it is the compliment to Buddhi. It completely available in Bhagavata Purana. Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.3 nigama-kalpa-taror galitam phalam suka-mukhad amrita-drava-samyutam pibata bhagavatam rasam alayam muhur aho rasika bhuvi bhavukah SYNONYMS nigama -- the Vedic literatures; kalpa-taroh -- the desire tree; galitam -- fully matured; phalam -- fruit; suka -- Srila Sukadeva Gosvami, the original speaker of Srimad-Bhagavatam; mukhat -- from the lips of; amrita -- nectar; drava -- semisolid and soft and therefore easily swallowable; samyutam -- perfect in all respects; pibata -- do relish it; bhagavatam -- the book dealing in the science of the eternal relation with the Lord; rasam -- juice (that which is relishable); alayam -- until liberation, or even in a liberated condition; muhuh -- always; aho -- O; rasikah -- those who are full in the knowledge of mellows; bhuvi -- on the earth; bhavukah -- expert and thoughtful. TRANSLATION O expert and thoughtful men, relish Srimad-Bhagavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures. It emanated from the lips of Sri Sukadeva Gosvami. Therefore this fruit has become even more tasteful, although its nectarean juice was already relishable for all, including liberated souls. I suggest we follow the total siddhanta of Vaishnavism and relish the mellows of the Bhagavatam and its pure devotees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
