The sat guru and the transcendental soud (asked explanation)

[anadi]

Spoken by Srila Bhaktivedanta Aranya Maharaja in Vraja Mandala Parikrama 2001:

"adau guru mukhat shravant"

Srila Vishvanatha Cakravarti Thakura explained in the purport of this verse:

"asesu takshi tapata

nanu natha pumsa"

that

the path to Krsna can be seen through the ears and

that hearing must be done from the mouth of

sat guru.

 

Question:

If the path is transcendental

why do you limit it by physical association?

Answer:

Because it is transcendental therefore

any transcendetal thing oh,

comes from transcendental source;

like harinama, diksa mantras are transcendental

hari katha is transcendental

srimad bhagavatam is transcendental,

so transcendental things come from transcendental source.

So, everything in THIS world is material!

So, where it will come from?

Only when any realized person descende in this world

and is carying bhakti-shakti with them,

than you can receive what is transcendental.

 

When a pure devotee speaks,

mixed within his voice

are the safron particle

of the lotus feet of Krsna,

says Srimad Bhagavatam;

so,

sound has 4 dimensions:

vaikarik, madya, para, pashianti.

First dimension is the outer portion of the sound, what you speak, what you hear, and

what is going in your tape recorder.

Next two levels

are on the subtle platform of the mind and intelligence.

The fourth level is called shabda-brahma

and goes from soul to soul."

 

My dear reader, you have to know that whatever I write is not coming from me, but

I heard and recorded from my guru-jana who are coming in bhagavat parampara, giving

harinama, diksa mantras and hari-katha through the transcendental sound, which goes

directly to the soul. Spoken by Srila Bhaktivedanta Aranya Maharaja in Vraja Mandala Parikrama 2001:

Hear ends the quotation.

[raga]

No need to start a new thread, just post it to the ongoing conversation. Why did you post the same thing four times over?

 

 

asesu takshi tapata

nanu natha pumsa

 

 

Asse zrutekSita-patho nanu nAtha puMsAm -- "O Lord, you are seen by men through the path of hearing, residing [on the lotus of their heart]." A very beautiful verse. The way it is rendered above changes the meaning completely -- "O Lord, you reside in the unlimitedly destructive torment of men."

My dear writer, I think most people here are receiving their teachings through a guru-pranali of a kind, whether bhagavat, pancaratrika, or just the traditional guru pranali though which both diksa and siksa descend.

 

 

[anadi]

I only heard the verse

and still do not know the exact quotation;

if it comes from S.B.

help me!

and I don't know sanskrit.

[raga]

Here is the verse. Srimad Bhagavata 3.9.11.

 

tvaM bhakti-yoga-paribhAvita-hRt-saroja

Asse zrutekSita-patho nanu nAtha puMsAm

yad-yad-dhiyA ta urugAya vibhAvayanti

tat-tad-vapuH praNayase sad-anugrahAya || 3.9.11 ||

 

“Those who are engaged in your devotional service, on the lotus of their heart You reside. Through the path of hearing people see You, O Master! In whichever of Your multiple forms they contemplate on You, in that very form you manifest to them by your grace.”
