Leelas of Lord Krishna #23

[Guest guest]

Sri Krishna Parabrahmane:namaha!

Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam!

 

The moon was in full bloom making the whole earth delightful. As a result all

the woods were enchantingly delightful. Then Bhagavan as if it was to captivate

the hearts of the gorgeous eyed gopikas played his flute sweetly.

 

The ‘gorgeous eyed, beautiful - sighted ‘gopikas’ – means the ji:vaas who are

eligible to enjoy Bhagavan and derive the eternal bliss – and Lord enables them

to listen the ‘praNavaardha’ ‘the O:m ka:ra na:dam’.

 

O:mka:ram is the ‘praNavam’. It is Swami’s flute. Its ‘na:dam’ means its

meaning. It tells the swaswaru:pam of the Ji:va, the swarupam of Bhagavan and

the relationship between them. Jivas are Bhagavan’s property and are only for

His sake. But till now they are behaving otherwise. The ‘VeNuna:dam’ that is

‘the praNava:rdham’ dissociates one from this attachment and makes him attracted

to Bhagavan. The ‘Vraja ladies’ heard that song. That music is

‘anangavardhanam’. ‘Ananga’ is Manmatha, the desire.

 

The desire to experience the ‘Purusha’. That had been enhanced by

‘VaeNunaadam’ . With that the relationship with the body breaks down. Anga is

the body. Ananga is one without the body, one that is different from it –

a:thma. The one that boosted it was the VeNunaadam – the ‘praNavaardham’.

Outwardly it appears as if gopikas are emotionally involved but in reality the

raasleela of gopikas and Lord Krishna is the scene of the eternal bliss that

results from the union of ji:va:thma and Parama:thma. Every word in this

illustrates the Mathura Bhakthi and establishes the Brahmajna:na as explained

by the Upanishads.

 

 

O:m Haraye: namaha! O:m Haraye:namaha! O:m Haraye:namaha!

Jai Srimannarayana!
