The practical bhakti was exhibited by Gopikas and they were given

Goloka.. Theoretical Bhakti will have theoretical results.

 

Gita says 'Eka Bhakthih Vishishyate' which means that the person having only

one bond with the Lord alone is liberated. The six strong worldly bonds

(Eshanas) are with body (Deheshana), life (Prashena), life-partner

(Dareshana), children (Putreshana), wealth (Dhaneshana) and traditional

justice (Dharmeshana).

 

 

Gopikas were the sages who were trying to cut the worldly bonds from the

past three Yugas. By the end of the third Yuga, they have become all mot

successful in their spiritual efforts. They requested Lord Rama to give

final salvation from all the worldly bonds. They were having still the

effect of three bonds viz., caste, sex and knowledge. To remove these three

effects, they were born as illiterate women in the backward caste as Gopikas

by the will of Lord.

 

By saluting Lord in naked condition, they have cut the bond with body. After

Krishna, they jumped into fire and thus could cut the bond with life. They

left their husbands to dance with Krishna and thus could cut the bond with

life-partners. They gave butter to Krishna even avoiding their children and

this shows their detachment to children. Butter was their hard-earned

wealth, which was sacrificed to Lord only and this shows their sacrifice of

wealth to the Lord.

 

They gave the dust from their feet to remove the headache of Krishna, even

though the sage Narada told that they will go to hell for such act. They

were prepared to go to hell if the Lord is happy and this shows their lack

of fear to hell and its concerned injustice. They could cross all these six

chakras (illusions) due to the attraction to the Lord. They have sacrificed

even the bond with salvation (Moksheshana). The word salvation is used in

the liberation from bonds to attain mental peace. Due to their love to

Krishna, they faced torture from their husbands and elders, due to which

they lost peace in their lives.

 

When Krishna left them forever, they became fully mad and were constantly

shedding tears for Krishna. The entire life became tragic and this shows

that they have sacrificed even the salvation (liberation from pain) for the

sake of Krishna. They refused even the advise of a Guru like Narada in

giving the dust from feet. This shows their sacrifice of bond with Gurus

(Guru-Eshana). Bali also refused his Guru Bhrugu and donated the land to

Vamana after knowing that Vamana was Vishnu. For the sake of God even Guru

is to be rejected.

 

Therefore, the sacrifice of all the worldly bonds is seen in Gopikas for

which they were given Goloka by the Lord, which is the highest fruit.

BHAKTHI -

 

GAANAM, NRUTHYAM, VANDANAM, DARSANAM, AATHMA-

NIVEDANAM, DAASYAM, SRAVANAM, AARAADHANAM,

DRUSYAM, THEERTHA YAATHRA GAMANAM, PAADA -

ABHIVANDANAM, SAASHTTAANGA PRANAAMAM,

PURAANA PRAVACHANAM, SAHANAM, PREMA, SARANAM,

MAUNIKAM, AADHYAATHMIKAM, SATHSAANGATHYAM

 

Pure Bhakthi is a Modern Phenomenon , a glorious Movement .

Naarada was the first and foremost Greatest Evangelical

Vishnu Bhaktha constantly on the move Preaching VISHNU

BHAKTHI to all.

 

Bhakthi is a Personalized , highly individulized Personal Rapport

at a very high level between the individual concerned and his or her

ISHTTA DAIVATHA. = THAADATHMYAM.

VISHNU BHAKTHAS and SIVA BHAKTHAS

UPAASAKAS- SAKTHI, AANJANEYA, NRUSIMHA.

 

In Ancient times of yore people had more time for Yajnams etc.

Bhakthi Movement was given a fillip by CHAITHANYA MAHAA PRABHU,

MEERAA BAI , KABIR , THUKAARAM , NAAM DEV , JNAAN DEV ,

KUMBHAR , SAKKUBAI, PURANDARADAS, NAAYANAARS and Many more .

In Telugu Naadu - THYAAGARAJU, BAMMERA POTHANA and

BHAKTHA RAAMA DAS come to mind.

 

BHAKTHI can be of many types :

1. Devotion of Naarada to VISHNU.

2. HATRED OF HIRANYA KASIPU vs Anti-parental VISHNU BHAKTHI

of

Prahlaada.

HiraNya Kasipa is not an atheist ; he is a Siva Bhaktha.

3.ARROGANCE OF RAAVANA coupled with His SIVA BHAKTHI and

 

MAATHRU BHAKTHI.

4. OBEDIENCE OF AANJANEYA= TOTAL SUBMISSION

5.FEAR OF KAMSA - his constant awareness of KRISHNA

Bhakthi is nothing but constant awareness of

GOD.

6. POWER OF JARAASANDDHA - Pratheekaara Deeksha against

 

KRISHNA

7.JEALOUSY OF SISUPAALA and PAUNDRAKA VAASUDEVA.

8.FILIAL INSTINCT OF YASODA , DEVAKI

9. RELATIONSHIP OF KUNTHI, DRAUPADI, PAANDAVAS

10. MAANAVA SEVA = MAADHAVA SEVA

11. PITHRU BHAKTHI - SRAVANA KUMAR and SRUNGI

12. PATHI BHAKTHI - SAAVITHRI , SUMATHI and all BHAARATHA NAARIMANULU.

13. NITHYA BHAKTHI

14. NAIMITTHIKA BHAKTHI

ETC.
