Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Dear all, Radhe Krishna! I have never heard a lovelier explanation than what respected Savitriji has given us. Indeed, very beautiful one. We are, indeed, immensely blessed to have a divine person like Savitriji in our group! Amrutha Dhaara from Savitriji. Dharey Krishna!

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Dear and respected KVGji, Thank you so much for the encouragement for my humble attempt to share what I read and learnt over years. Your words of appreciation means a lot to me. I offer them at the feet of Lord.

Regards and prayers savitri Hari Om Savitriji, Pranaams! Very nice indeed. Commenting on mantra II.1.1 kashcit dhIraH .. (A rare discriminating man, desiring immortality, turns his eyes away(from worldly objects) and sees the Self) Shri Shankaracharyaji uses the same term to denote the effort required as nadi-prati-srotavat meaning like reversing the current of a river. Foreseeing the possiblity of stream(of water) not being continuous and steady(dhAra)at all times, Bhagavan Ramana refines dhArA as AjyadhAraya srotasA.. meaning flowing like stream of ghee,water in Upadesha Sara verse 7 to denote uninterupted contemplation on the Lord.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Dear respected Savitriji, Radhe Krishna! Knowledge, and interpretation with creativity are present in only a few, and I am sure you are one of them. May the Lord bless you with more and more Bhakti to apply the creative thinking to interpret our scriptures which can be done only if one has lots of Bhakti. Warmest regards KVG.

Water flows from higher to lower level and in Sanskrit, it is called Dhaara. When we reverse the letters of Dhaara written in Sanskrit or Malayalam or in several other Indiam languages, we get Raadha. That stream which flows from lower level to higher level is called "raadhagathi". Radha Rani's love flows from a lower level to the highest level or Krishna level and merges with Him. Since her love or devotion is flowing upwards, she is called Radha. All devotees whose devotion flow upward towards Krishna and join Krishna become Radha. Bhaktha Meerabai and Aandal became Radha. All devotees are following the Radhaagathi or path of devotion and will become Raadha in this life or in several lives. Sreekrishnaarpanamasthu.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Dear and respected Chaitanyaji, Very happy to read about the comparison of uninterrupted Bhakthi with the flow of ghee. It will be great if you could explain the Upadesha Sara verse by verse, one each day.
