Can We Converse with Krishna and Radharani ?.

September 28, 2006

Hare Krishna ! Dandavat Pranam to Bhagavan Krishna and Vaishnavas! I wish to answer Prabhu’s Question as follows : Question - Can we converse with Krishna and Radharani? What are the prayers that are pleasing to say to them?. Answer - : The Devotee is an eternal Servant of Sri Krishna . The Servant’s duty is to selflessly serve and please his Master ; and he should not desire to engage the Master in a conversation just for satisfying own false ego . It is entirely for the Supreme Master Sri Krishna to decide whether or not

to engage His Servant in a conversation . However , it is a proven fact that , there is a constant interaction between Bhagavan and His faithful devotee ; and the devotee can perceive it through symptoms. A devotee’s advancement in Bhakti-Yoga and his interaction with Sri Krishna depends on several factors such as : Past Karma ( Deeds in previous births) . Surrender at the lotus feet of Sri Krishna and taking total refuge of HIM . Satsangh ; Association with Vaishnavas and Service to them . Constant chanting of Krishna’s divine names ( Hare Krishna Mantra) . Living according to Krishna’s instructions ( by following HIS instructions given in Gita ) . Bhagavan Sri Krishna is situated in everyone’s heart as ‘Paramatma’ ( Super Soul) . Radharani is His dearest . A Devotee can please Bhagavan and Radharani by faithfully chanting ‘Hare Krishna Mahamantra’ . Srimad Bhagavatam , 2.2.6 : “ One must render service unto the Supersoul situated in one’s own heart by His omnipotency. Because He is the Almighty Personality of Godhead, eternal and unlimited, He is the ultimate goal of life, and by worshiping Him one can end the cause of the

conditioned state of existence “ . Bhagavan Sri Krishna , the Supreme, is present as the Supersoul in every heart and everywhere, in every atom of the material universe. . To search out Sri Krishna, we need not go anywhere else, because Bhagavan is within our hearts. If we at all want to end the miseries of our life, we must take to the worship of Lord Sri Krishna, who is present in everyone’s heart by His natural affection for all living beings, who are

actually the parts and parcels of the Lord (Gita. 18.61). Srimad Bhagavatam , 2.3.24 : “Certainly that heart is steel-framed which, in spite of one’s chanting the holy name of the Lord with concentration, does not change when ecstasy takes place, tears fill the eyes and the hairs stand on end”. The whole process of spiritual culture is aimed at changing the heart of the living being in the matter of his eternal relation with the Supreme Lord as subordinate servant, which is his eternal constitutional position. So with the progress of devotional service, the reaction of change in the heart is exhibited by gradual detachment from the sense of material enjoyment by a false sense of lording it over the world and an increase in the attitude of rendering loving service to the Lord. Vidhi-bhakti, or regulated devotional service by the limbs of the body (namely the eyes, the ears, the nose, the hands and the legs), is now stressed herein in relation to the mind,

which is the impetus for all activities of the limbs of the body. We must always remember that hearing and chanting are the basic principles of discharging devotional duties, and if they are properly performed there will follow the reactional ecstasy with signs of tears in the eyes and standing of the hairs on the body. The whole process can be summarized as follows: The Krishna-devotee who chants the holy name of Bhagavan Krishna in a perfectly offenseless manner and is friendly to everyone can actually relish the transcendental taste of

glorifying the Bhagavan . Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya!!! SriKrishnaDasa Rajeev ---------------- taaren@moment .net
