it&#8217;s such an honor to welcome Maharaj on this platform and Maharaj today is going to help us dive deeper into the subject but approaching Radha through wash approaching uh ratha and krishna through worshipping gurnee thai so I request march to please enlighten us and to our viewers if you have any questions comments appreciation please post them in the chat and we&#8217;ll take it towards the end of the session thank you so much marge thank you so much [Music] foreign in the weeks preceding she go up in him this is an opportune time to open our hearts to not only here but furthermore receive the unprecedented gift he has come to bestow in the third chapter of adilila the causes for the descent of the christian life goswami is recording krsna&#8217;s thoughts in a sense as after thoughts after revealing his raj leela and then disappearing from this world sri krishna contemplated and his thoughts are scrutinizingly recorded in this third chapter where krishna was thinking that for a long time i have not bestowed unalloyed loving service to me upon the inhabitants of the world and without such loving attachment the existence of the material world is useless and later on kavi raj goswami quotes rinda david telling poor namaste that if krishna had not descended in vrndavan with radha the existence of this material world would be utterly useless and that&#8217;s reflecting on the thoughts of krishna himself and in the purports feel the prophet explains that the lord seldom awards pure transcendental love but without such pure love of god freed from the fruit of activities and empiric speculation one cannot detain perfection in life was reflecting that for so long i have not bestowed pure spontaneous love for so long means a day of brahma 8.64 8 billion 640 million years the last time krishna appeared as he is in his original to reveal his bread to leela for the welfare of this world and he was contemplating that hearing of my lila people will naturally worship me in vedi bhakti that&#8217;s natural it&#8217;s the natural inclination of the human upon hearing the glories of the creator the controller the maintainer and the destroyer of this world to worship him in odd veneration and the process to properly worship krishna is by the bhakti and christian was thinking because of my brother leela the inhabitants of this world will naturally worship me a bhakti [Music] but they cannot attain vrindavan they cannot attain goloka vendavan by that means there&#8217;s a parallel dynamic in relation to the topic of approaching radha krsna&#8217;s recording time in the process of developing raganuga in practice of within the process of mighty bhakti and srila prabhupad explains this in numerous places he says this christian consciousness movement follows panchiratrika vidhi which comes from the narada pancharatra and bhagavad vidi the way of the srimad-bhagavatam the nine processes of devotional service beginning with hearing and chanting cope with culminating and not evading them through the prophets that these these two processes go hand in hand each helps the other like parallel tracks on a railroad pancharatika vidhi governs the temple worship the archana establishing the regulative principles in the worship of lakshmi narayana in bhagavad-gita guides the worship of rauthan krishna through the nine processes of devotional service described [Music] up so the relationship between vaidhi bhakti and his skull in vaikuntha to raganugabhakti leading to goloka vendavan was displayed in the talks between lord caitanya and venkatavata and his brothers tiramala bhatta and promoted in that talk is very illuminating regarding the relationship between viti bhakti in the worship of lakshmi narayan in the superiority so in the talks between the lord and those three brothers in gopal a young boy later to be known as gopal gosvami was also hearing in lord garunga in a playful manner they were very friendly talks lord garanga asked the brothers your worshipful goddess of porch and lakshmi always remains on the chest of narayan whereas my lord sri krishna is a young boy herding cows why is it that lakshmi wants to associate with my krishna and then cut about to explain that there&#8217;s no difference between lakshmi and then mahaprabhu asked him why is it that lakshmi could not enter the rest of lila and the lord explained that lakshmi could not enter the rafale because one who worships krishna by following in the footsteps of the inhabitants of vrndavan cannot that goal is not achievable by those who worship krishna in opulence which means really the worship of lakshmi narayan in the srutigana the personified vedas were able to enter the rasa lila because they did follow in the footsteps of the gopis whereas lakshmi was not able because when she desired to do so and christian told her the only process is by following in the footsteps of the inhabitants of madava which means basically krishna is telling lakshmi you have to milk cows churn butter and make cow dung patties and she said I can&#8217;t do that i&#8217;m the goddess of fortune and krishna told her then you can&#8217;t enter rasalillah and she performed severe tapasia for a long period of time with that goal in mind and still she was not successful lord narayan took her upon his chest in the form of shivatsa but she could not enter the rasalillah so this is related to lord krishna&#8217;s afterthoughts regarding his project which takes place only once in a day of brahma meaning the other 999 out of a thousand papayugas and kaliyugas an expansion of chris comes as the yoga avatar to establish the principle of deity worship in the paryuk in the following kali yuga but that is vadi bhakti in worship of the yugavatar the one exceptional tupar yog and kaliyuga in which krishna comes in his original form and displays his brother and reveals the five rosses which are not existing in the material world or even in vicunta because in the worship of lakshmi narayan in vaidhi bhakti or even actually in the worship of lord quran explained to jiva gosvami during the nav deep down parikrama there is only two rasas in the worship of lord garanga he can be worshiped only in shanta and dasiras and the reason is that say sakiras the devotee becomes apparently the equal to christian now nobody can come become krsna&#8217;s equal unless krishna directs yoga maya who orchestrates his lila with all the appropriate moods and words and scripts for the sakya with salia and madurya to be available krishna has to make them so because in sakhi sake krishna becomes the equal to his devotee as revealed in his past times with the gophers of wrestling and in the wrestling matches sometimes krishna wins and sometimes she donald wins and the rules of the wrestling is that the victor gets to ride on the shoulders of the one he one over in the match and sometimes christian accepts this role and sometimes he makes excuses no I didn&#8217;t i didn&#8217;t lose I slipped on a banana peel you took advantage and the devotee tells christian oh i won and he forcibly climbs on christian shoulders and rides in like a horse now that kind of ross is not available in vadi bhakti it&#8217;s not available in the material world or vaikuntha or mathura or dwarka it&#8217;s available only in krsna&#8217;s broadcast when he willingly becomes by dint of the spell of yoga maya according to his desire the equal to his devotee in which case they can play in vasaya above sakhiba whereas in say above the devotee becomes senior to krishna as a parent and in maduriya krishna is controlled by the love of his consorts so those three rasas sakya vatsali and madurya are not available in dwarka they&#8217;re available only when krishna makes them available he revealed them during his project and he&#8217;s reflecting afterwards that even though I revealed the topmost perfection of life in brazilia no one can attain it because the natural response of the living entities and hearing of my brother&#8217;s leela will be to worship me in on veneration and krishna was thinking that that cripples that weakens the impulse of love just like if you have if you develop a friendship with someone and then you learn that he&#8217;s the son of a king and you can&#8217;t you can&#8217;t treat them the way you did before because reverence has distanced the love and christian was thinking love made a feeble my own veneration cannot control me when my beloved concert reproaches me in a silky mood that steals my mind away from the reverent hymns of the vedas and when a cowherd boy challenges me what kind of big man are you you and I are equal that gives me the greatest satisfaction but there again how can we become the equal to krishna only when he allows it because that equality between the lord and his devotees in sakuras is an illusion cast by the spell of yoga maya that makes the devotee think that he is on equal footing with christian in that and that rasha is not attainable by inviting bhakti was thinking that i&#8217;ll have to come again and reveal such spectacular pastimes that are unheard of even in my kunta by which I will make the world dance in the four mellows which are attainable only in vrndavana once again in vaikuntha there is only shanta and dasiras inviti bhakti we are worshipping lord garunga as mahaprabhu in shanta which is practically useless and matures into dasia as soon as love begins to develop lord nitin explained to jiva gosvami lord garunga is worshiped only in shanta and dasiras by the process of vaidhi bhakti vidi means following the vidi the rules and regulations of shastra in the reverential worship of radha and krishna I mean lakshmi narayan the unique virtue of lord garunga&#8217;s gift to this world is he has given us a form of viti bhakti which has raganuga at his heart because what does raganuga mean it means following in the footsteps of those who have that rock that love that prima meaning the residents of vrindavan krishna told lakshmi there&#8217;s no other way to enter vrindavan in true the prophet echoes his indect or devotion then by following in the footsteps of one inhabitant of vrndavan so lord garunga is worshiped inviti bhakti by sankirtana and that&#8217;s in kirtan that&#8217;s the same means by which the inhabitants of vardhaf worship krishna radha and krishna in sound form come down as the maha mantra the most confidential hymn of the spiritual world so by worshipping lord garanga as mahaprabhu in vaidhi bhakti we attain vaikuntha and that was krsna&#8217;s concern hearing of his brother&#8217;s lila the world will worship him invitee bhakti thereby attaining vaikuntha and from vaikuntha there is no access to braja that was revealed in brihad bhagavatamita by sanatana gosvami when gopa kumar was in dwarka even though he was being showered with such affection by krishna and his queens he was dissatisfied and narada muni asked him that lakshmi and narayan are treating you with such affection like their own child why is your heart so dissatisfied and gopa kumar said that my heart yearns for that cowherd boy playing with his friends playing on his flute herding cows whose crown is made of forest flowers topped with a peacock feather and nardimuni told him that you will there to attain worship of that brijanda nandana krishna you&#8217;ll have to return to earth and call upon him with all the love of your heart so even if gopa kumar could not attain vrndavan from vaikuntha how would anyone else and therefore krishna was thinking in a sense it was like a disservice that he revealed his brother but nobody could attain it because the natural response would be to worship him and on veneration which means actually worshipping the lakshmi narayan by which the living entities would attain the vaikuntha from where there is no access to bread except by following the footsteps of gopakumar coming back to earth and in vrndavan cultivating so we must follow vaidy bhakti and simultaneously cultivate raganuga and how is this practically fulfilled once again jiva gosvami hearing from lord netananda those who worship lord garunga in dasiras by vadi bhakti because that vaidy comes through the six gosvamis and has raganuga at his heart and that is that principle is echoed in the words of prabhudananda saraswati who later came to vrndavana that when our vadi bhakti matures in the worship of lord garunga then he reveals his alternate feature as radha and krishna vrndavana that&#8217;s the raganuga developing from this bhakti so while krishna was in dwarka and rukh mini was wondering why his heart is always in vrndavana and the answer was revealed very elaborately in the lakshmi vijaya festival after jagannath golas to gundita after assuring laxmi he would be back the next day and when he doesn&#8217;t return she becomes angry she emerges from the temple duggano&#8217;s temple and lord garanga and damadar were observing this drama of lakshmi vitayah and lord caitanya asked it&#8217;s rubbed on her why is she so angry as rube dominar explains it is the nature of a girl inflicted with love become to become angry feeling neglected by her lover and then srivasta court entered the conversation and challenged sir abdominar or subdominar endler garanga that how is it that lakshmi david how is it that krishna could give up the opulence of the goddess of fortune in all thy kunta and in preference to some flowers and peacock feathers go to mood of nardomuni is becoming prominent in you sure dominars appear to vote ibrandav and he doesn&#8217;t know about opulence in surprise that but dear srivas do you know the kind of opulence of vrndavan that attracted krishna to go there to stay there in vrndavan all the cows are comediennas all the trees are cuppa victor every speck of dust is tintamani meaning that they all can fulfill fulfill anyone&#8217;s desire and yet krishna and the residents of vandavan desire only love and therefore krishna can&#8217;t leave mindable except in his expansion as lord narayan and then srivas I mean abdominal repeated which fulfills all desires and krsna&#8217;s only desire is love the devotee&#8217;s only desire is loving reciprocation and that is fulfilled most completely in the four mellows of vendavan which are not attainable through videe bhakti invitee bhakti we worship lord garunga as mahaprabhu in dasyaras and there is no higher mellow available because lord garanga is krishna worshiping him invitee brahti is proper and will take us to vaikuntha there is no other higher goal invitee bhakti the secret is when the lord comes as he is combined worshiping lord garanga as narayan in vaidhi bhakti in dasiras by the yuga dharma of nam sankirtan we are simultaneously following the resident of vrndavan who all those regatta bhaktas are pursuing srimati radharani so within the viti bhakti given by the six gosvamis is the seed of ragamuga and that develops and matures and blossoms in time by our faithful practice through the prabodan is summarized in his typical very simple poetic condensed verses how the direction to pram has the ultimate goal of life this is raja praying meaning of pure love of krishna all of which no one had previously understood the nectar sweet melons of vendavan who no one was able to enter and the splendor of the most astonishing peak on the whole range of spiritual factions sri radha who no one was previously able to approach all these things and so much more have become available through by lord caitanya&#8217;s grace in the process of nam sankirtana so once again krishna revealed his branch lila and then disappeared and he was contemplating afterwards that hearing of my brother leela the world will naturally worship me in viti bhakti the rules and regulations of the scriptures are essential in the worship of krishna otherwise even if our sentiments are very sincere they will simply create a disturbance to the lord to society to the one&#8217;s self therefore viti bhakti is essential and christian was thinking the world will will worship me inviti bhakti because of my brother&#8217;s lila by which they will attain vaikuntha in which raj bhakti is not accessible so I will come again and reveal such pastimes which are unheard of even by kunta past sums by which even i am amazed so lord garanga came for his own purposes internal reasons desiring to understand the glory of srimati radhirani&#8217;s love the wonderful qualities in him which she alone can fully cherish through her love and the sublime happiness she feels when she tastes the sweetness of his love the supreme lord hari richly endowed with her emotions appeared from the womb of sachitavi like the moon arising from the ocean because lord caitanya is krishna we worship him in vaidhi bhakti and because lord caitanya is also radha by nam sankirtan we are cultivating the seed of raganuga and when that viti bhakti matures when it blossoms then as ordinand explained and shiva proposed on the source what he echoed when a sincere devotee matures invitee bhakti in the worship of lord garunga then the golden ocean of nectar from shemati radharani&#8217;s lotus feet floods his heart with ecstasy that means our viti transitions into raganuga because of the fact that lord garanga is krishna combined with srimati radharani in worshiping him in vaidhi bhakti in dasiras we are simultaneously cultivating the seed of raganuga bhakti following in the footsteps of the residence of vandavan which is the only means of entrance into darwin so serving and worshiping lord caitanya by sankirtana means simultaneously following in the footsteps of the preacher passes and we do not have to know what specific brighabasi&#8217;s mood resonates with our own hearts desire by whom following we will enter vrndavan because all the bridgehabasis who are regatmaka are all following in the first steps so once again why did lord garunga assumed the mood of srimati radharani to fulfill his own desires from which his external desire was fulfilled as a mere consequence that being that he wanted to propaga propagate raganuga in the four mellows of vrndavana so the lord returned as mahaprabhu to inaugurate that exceptional yoga dharma and make the world dance in ecstasy realizing the formals or vendavan lord christian was reflecting I will accept the role of a devotee and teach bhakti by practicing it myself so what is that viti from srimad-bhagavatam for the seed of raganuga contained within the [Music] in the kali yug those who have sumaidazah which means very fine very subtle intelligence they will worship the yuga avatar who is krishna varnam he&#8217;s always chanting the names of krishna and he is akrishnam even though he is krishna his luster is akrishna which he will inundate the world with a very special yagya usually we think of yagya as placing our offering in the fire your ego is purified with the fire of sankirtana he was the personified ecstasy of lord netananda emphasizes in his songs that the grace of lord nitinanda is essential for effective access to radha and krishna and admittance into the wrestling because lord caitanya is the property of lord nitin as he expressed when he met raghunath panihati offering obeisances from a distance it worked in you were a thief meaning that he tried to attain someone else&#8217;s property meaning lord garanga without going through lord nitananda and prerequisite to the mercy of lord nitinanda is the shelter of devotees so after completing their nine day now deep down our lord netanyahu so now you&#8217;ll be going to pendant and chiva gosami said that you&#8217;ve explained that we&#8217;ve been are non-different so why should I bother going to vrndavan at all and lord or lord nittananda revealed that there&#8217;s no difference and yet navidweep is essential for the approach to vindavan because as long as there are offenses within the heart we chant the holy name of the lord krsna-pram will hide as long as offenses endure within our hearts and therefore navadweep dam meaning the mercy of lord garanga is essential in the approach to radha and krishna vrndavana one who is qualified from adiriaras worships lord garanga and as radha and krishna have combined in his form when the worship of lord garanga in dossiers reaches full maturity in the heart of the devotee then one&#8217;s worship of gor hari qualifies to him to worship rajan krishna vendavan and lord garanga then drowns the devotee in the nectar of radha and krsna&#8217;s eternal pastimes which the devotee enters as he attains vrndavana once again we cannot approach radha and krishna but through the grace of nitai and gore [Music] who we cannot approach but through the grace of srila prabhupada we cannot approach but through the grace of devotees so we worship the yug avatar as mahaprabhu in dasiras because he is krishna himself and when we worship the lord as a devotee we are cultivating the seed of raganuga bhakti within that vaidy which as it matures mahaprabhu of nadia reveals his alternate feature of radhan krishna vendavan which means he takes the devotee different thank you very much are there any questions or comments hari krishna thank you so much for this beautiful beautiful description [Music] you transported us um to another realm we have a few questions here so here we have a question from jason jason walker and he&#8217;s mentioning please help my understanding i thought that the inhabitants of vrandavan although engaged in farm work were very opulent and worthy how does that exclude lakshmi except that as a queen she is the object of worship that was the subject of that discussion between srivasta quran artamuni how can the lord leave the goddess of fortune you know all the opulences of vrindavan in preference for a few leaves and peacock feathers found in the garden of srimati radharani how can he do such things instead of dominar explains that superior to the opulence in the dhavan so the opulence of akunta including dwarka is the opulence of vendavan because the trees are copper viktor&#8217;s the cows are commodenos and the dust is gentamini all of which fulfill all desires the supreme opulence is pure love for krishna that gives krishna the most pleasure and gives the devotees the most satisfaction that is the opulence of vendavan and it is not that the beyonce and dwarka is absent in vrndavan it sources vendava opulence reaches its pinnacle in vrndavan the appearance of dwark and vaikuntha is a reflection of the operons of vendava but the opulence of mondavin is eclipsed by the sweetness of love and so it&#8217;s not usually manifest in the way it is in vaikuntha or torika through the proponent on this what he has also written aishwarya kadamba revealing the glories of vindavan from another dimension he explains that the sprawling city of nandigram which draws water from the mountains coming in through vast aqueducts and is surrounded by a formidable wall when the gates open and krsna and balarama ride on chariots pulled by magnificent steeds into the forest to reciprocate with the sadhus who are serving them there we see descriptions not found in krishna book which means that the opulences of dwarka and vaikunta are not absent in vrndavan they&#8217;re a reflection an expansion of the supreme opulence of vrandavan which is normally eclipsed by loving sentiments because just like mother jason when she heard that krishna was eating dirt and she looked into his mouth and saw all of creation and her natural maternal instinct was crippled in realizing that either he&#8217;s god or some highly empowered agent of god and then she told christian just close your mouth whenever that aishwarya appears which it does from time to time and christian will not allow it for long because it cripples the love it distances the affection but the love in vrndavan is spontaneous and that spontaneity that raganuga is only achieved by following in the footsteps of vendavan the residents of vandal and laxmi davie could not relinquish her conception of being the goddess of fortune she could not conceive the following in the footsteps of coward girls so she was never able to enter vrindavan except as the srivatsa on the chest of the lord she was not able to enter into his heart where the gopis love pleases krsna in the most satisfying manner so once again the opulence of dwarka is not absent in vrndavan it&#8217;s sources for now but it is eclipsed by the sweetness of loving pastimes and anyone can have any wish fulfilled in vrndavana because of the complex vicious the commodeness in vrndavan both krishna and the devotees desire only love and that&#8217;s why krishna left blocks me in the sense that juggernaut left lakshmi in the temple when he went to kunicha to experience the mellows of the love of vendavan which lakshmi cannot enter does that answer the question at all so beautiful thank you thank you so much yeah we have a question from and he&#8217;s asking how will it ever be possible for us to attain this love of raja with so much polluted consciousness of competing with god by sense gratification by the mercy of lord dentenanda has personified this with the prophet god our competition with god since time immemorial in our attempts to be the enjoyer the controller the proprietor have never produced any satisfaction within the heart because beneath all other desires is our deepest yearning to love and be loved in exchange in return in reciprocation by worshiping lord garunga in the association of devotees we reawaken to that satisfaction within the heart in serving devotees and serving the lord and that satisfaction we&#8217;ve been running after since time immemorial through endeavors and sense gratification which has produced only frustration misery and suffering that satisfaction we all yearn for in loving exchange is found in serving the divorce because that invokes the pleasure of krishna and when he&#8217;s satisfied we are as well because we&#8217;re part and parcel of him there is no satisfaction and sense gratification but how can we know that until we experience the higher taste in the nectar of devotion and once we experience that our attraction to sense gratification is doomed and will eventually become totally purified by the rosses of endovan flowing in the process of non-senior time and then we find that our highest desire is not to be the proprietor controller or enjoyer the highest satisfaction is found in service beautiful thank you so much marge thank you so much we have a few more questions here we have uh russian and she&#8217;s asking could you please just explain in what mood we should worship rather krishna deities that should have proud established worldwide i think you touch it thank you very much two things one is that when we are serving as pejari to the deity we should never think that i&#8217;m serving the deity we should always think that my spiritual master is serving the deity and he&#8217;s granting me access as servant of the servant of the servant so srila prabhupada said that we&#8217;re actually worshiping radha and krishna in the mood of lakshmi narayan which means opulence which means reverence [Music] all the time knowing that within the vaidy which is the rules and regulations for worship and the pancharatar gaviti is the rules and regulations for deity worship based on serving lakshmi narayan and yet because our worship of lord garunga through nam sankirtana contains within it the seed of raganugi raganuga which blossoms in time as we are serving radha and krishna in the mood of lakshmi narayan meaning reverential with opulence awe and veneration simultaneously within our hearts that sweet essence of raj bhakti found in following the footsteps of the brijabasis which for us practically means following in the footsteps of the previous acharyas we will experience gradually as we serve rajan krishna as lakshmi narayan in awe in veneration with all opulence that gradually the sweetness of vrindavan will flood our hearts at which we continue to strictly follow the vadi bhakti the rules and regulations of serving lakshmi narayan while simultaneously relishing the sweet essence of pure love found only vrndavan and gradually blossoming within our hearts through worshiping lord garanga as mahaprabhu and dasiras according to ravi bhakti as our service matures the golden luster of srimati&#8217;s feet floods our hearts and takes us to vendava and we will experience that gradually developing as we are strict and dedicated in our process of vaidhi bhakti with emphasis on namsan kirtan worshiping the lord as mahaprabhu until he reveals his alternate feature is ratha and krishna vendavan and takes us there our time is up yes marge we can take one last question if that&#8217;s okay with you we&#8217;re hoping this doesn&#8217;t end but it&#8217;s just the beginning of having you more and more often here on the gbc spt platform um samia here is asking if dasiras is the way to serve lord gauranga and devotion and love is the requirement to do we need to focus on following the vedic way as you mentioned we have to focus on vaidhi bhakti while knowing that within that vaidhi is the seed of raganuga which will fructify in time as the pure love of vrndavan which is accessible only through worshipping mahaprabhu and dasiras until he reveals his ultimate feature as radha krishna in vrndavan and thereby takes us there
