Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 In the Ujjvala-nilamani, Srila Rupa Gosvami has explained all of this in detail. Radhika is the best among all the gopis. Becoming maddened in Her bhava, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu descended. The beauty of Her bhava is like the beauty of a creeper. A creeper always has leaves. If a creeper were to be without leaves and manjaris (buds), it would be bare and therefore not beautiful. Creepers have many blossoming leaves, fruits and manjaris which tremble in a gentle breeze, and due to this they are beautiful. The beauty of Radhika’s bhava means the dasya-bhava of the gopis, unnatojjvala-rasa-sva-bhakti-sriyam. This is the item which Mahaprabhu came to bestow which had never been given before. _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
