RADHAKRISHNA CONCEPT

[Guest guest]

Sanjagau venunaa devakinandanah

 

 When the mind is fully engaged in the Lord it becomes the flute in

His hand, a hollow tube with full of holes through which all the

impurities have been washed off. then His fingers move through the

holes and fills it with divine music. When the mind wants to unite

with Him but is not able to do so due to egocentric impulses that

separates it from Him , the resulting sorrow is depicted as the

viraha of the gopies and Radha.

The gopies went to meet Krishna but they were never missed at

home, says Bhaagavatha Puraana. Their union was one of spirit and

not of body. When the thought is centered on the object of love it

is the union of the spirit. When every thought that occurs is

centered on the Lord the devotee's mind becomes a stage for

Rasleela. Each thought is the gopi having Krishna as its object.

this idea is brought out beautifully in the sloka anganaam anganaam

anthare Maadhavo Maadhavam Maadhavam anthare anganaa there was a

Krishna between each gopi and there was a gopi between each Krishna.

Then what happens is the divine music played by Devakinandhana,

When all thoughts merge into one like the big fish swallowing the

smaller ones or like a big wave absorbing the small waves the mind

is filled with only one thought which is represented by the concept

of Radha, who is the jiva, the individual soul.
