Ba:la Leelas of Lord Krishna #30

[Guest guest]

SriKrishna Parabrahmane Namaha!

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha!

 

Krishna is talking enchantingly to test the gopikas who had come to meet him to

the river banks of Yamuna.

 

Dharma is of two types. Sama:nya and Vise:sha dharma.

 

Married women striving to serve their husbands who had accepted them with regard

to this body; and serving their children – is sa:manya dharma.

 

Acting for the fulfillment of the wish - with the realization that this a:thma

swarupam is different from the body, it belongs to Bhagavan and should attain

Bhagavan and should derive happiness when experienced by Bhagavan. - is vise:sha

dharma.

 

Bhagavan is present among the gopikas as go:pa:laka.(cowherdboy). As a result of

their past lives’ punya they were blessed with eternal love for Lord Krishna.

They did not go to Krishna with infatuation and lust. Outwardly he is a small

boy. These are married women. Mothers. It is against the usual wordly practice

to have desire for him. They felt the uncontrollable unexplainable love for him

when they listened to his Ve:Nuga:na. Though they did not know, Sri Krishna is

actually Bhagavan himself. To be attracted by Him and go to Him is Vise:sha

dharma.

 

The earthly nature is an obstacle to go towards Him and appears as if it is

indispensable. Whom ever Bhagavan loves, He blesses them with the ‘buddhi’ to go

towards Him. This will not happen with self effort.

 

Bhagavan said, “dadaami buddhi yo:gam tham ye:ne ma:m mupaya:nthithe: ” For

ordinary thinking, the gopikas going to another person leaving their husbands

and children,looks uncultured. It had to be tested whether they got aversion for

mundane things. Unless that happens bhakthi and jna:na would not be steady.

Hence Krishna Bhagavan is testing them thus.

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

Jai srimannarayana!

Ramanujamma Mudumbai Ramanuja Daasi.
