raga Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 More on Jahnava Thakurani... http://raganuga.com/cgi-bin/raga/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST&f=8&t=4 (Sorry for not duplicating it here... too much to format the whole thing again, as I can't just copy & paste the html, and without formatting such a long text no-one will read.)

Jaya Revati-Balarama! A sannyasi disciple of Narayan Maharaja told me that on a higher level Janava devi is an incarnation of Nityananda. And also Nityananda is also plays the part of a gopi (I cannot remember which gopi) I know in CC Ramananda Raya is part Arjuna and also part Lalita, and Mahaprabhu is Radha and Krsna. Does anybody know any more of the Nityananda expressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know any more of the Nityananda expressions. To say that Janava devi is the very self of Nityananda is not the same as being the direct incarnation. Nityananda is Balarama in Krishna lila and Janava is his eternal consort, Revati. Maybe someone else has information to the contrary, but I have never heard of Nityananda/Balarama appearing as a gopi. Lord Balarama once performed the rasa dance to pacify the gopis in Krishna's absence and his relationship, of course, with Krishna is as his brother and direct expansion.
