kailasa Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 The third paragraph pranama SBS Prabhupada - "sri-gaura-karuna-sakti-vigrahaya namo stu te" Srila Prabhupada - "And as Caitanya Mahaprabhu was called by Advaita Prabhu, similarly, Bhaktivinoda Thakura, when he saw this condition of pseudo Vaisnava all over the country, he also prayed to Lord Caitanya that “ You kindly send somebody from Your personal staff so that I can start this movement. ” You see? So by the grace of Lord Caitanya, as we pray, sri-gaura-karuna-sakti-vigrahaya namo stu te. Gaura... He is mercy representation of Lord Caitanya." Thus Srila Prabhupada speaks that SBST is in an environment the Lord Caitanya. This fact is reflected in pranama mantra Srila Bhaktisidhanta - " sri-gaura-karuna-sakti ". Srila Bhaktisidhanta this embodiment karuna the Lord Caitanya and sambandha tattva Sri Radha Krisna. That quite is still reflected in deities GM and as in the sermon GM - " having received blessings the Lord Caitanya, the person can go further, developing fidelity Radha Krisna. " Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur is not distinct from the Lord Caitanya. Srila Bhaktisidhanta is not distinct from the Lord Caitanya. And Srila Prabhupada is not distinct from the Lord Caitanya. Only different persons represent different aspects of true. And confirming sastras specifies on Srila Prabhupada as the authorized embodiment, as it is a final result of all science of devoted service - bhakti vedanta. ******** from Jaiva dharma - When a person loves Krsna and Krsna is present, then the lover experiences the taste of a certain kind of rasa, the rasa of sambhoga-sukha (the happiness of enjoying with Krsna). However, when Krsna is absent, the lover experiences the rasa of vipralambha (separation), which itself produces a specific kind of wonderful transcendental bliss. In answer to one of Lord Mahaprabhu's questions, Ramananda Raya described (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Madhya 8.194) the wonderful bliss the devotee feel in separation from Krsna, a bliss he called 'vivarta'. Therefore what seems here to be suffering is in truth the highest spiritual bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
