Guest guest Posted August 29, 1999 Report Share Posted August 29, 1999 >>Ananga Manjari is the younger sister of Srimati Radharani and she assists >>in Radha Madhava pastimes especially during Their super-excellent pastimes >>at Radha Kunda in the afternoon. I don't know whether she is the pleasure >>potency of Lord Baladeva but it is said that Lord Baladeva expands Himself >>as Ananga Manjari to serve Krsna in His conjugal pastimes with Srimati >>Radharani. My conclusion of Ananga-manjari being the pleasure potency of Baladeva was based on the statement of Srila Prabhupada in the Caitanya Caritamrita of Jahnava-devi being the pleasure potency of Nityananda Prabhu, as quoted below: ....while Jiva Gosvami was alive, Jahnava-devi, the pleasure potency of Sri Nityananda Prabhu, went to Vrindavana with a few devotees. ... (CC Adi 10.85. pp) And as shown before, Jahnava-devi and Ananga-manjari are nondifferent. Whether She be the *supreme* manifestation of Baladeva's pleasure potecy, as Radhika is of Krishna's pleasure potency, I cannot say, but we may safely conclude that She is at least a manifestation of Baladeva's pleasure potency, as Lalita-devi and Visakha-devi are manifestations of Krishna's pleasure potency.
